After being reborn, I gained a childhood sweetheart who appeared out of nowhere.

The next day, early morning.

Lin Chuan walked into the classroom but bumped into someone who was about to leave. The two almost collided. If the other person had been a girl, it would have been an ambiguous encounter, but unfortunately, they were two boys.

Liu Hao glanced at it, and after recognizing Lin Chuan, he didn't say anything and turned to leave.

"Liu Hao," Lin Chuan called out first.

Liu Hao stopped and turned around, his tone still somewhat indifferent, "What?"

"Did you forget to take out the trash after school yesterday?" Lin Chuan reminded them. The other person was on duty yesterday, and the labor committee member only found out that the trash hadn't been taken out when he came this morning, so he told Lin Chuan.

Liu Hao was taken aback. He glanced at the trash can at the back of the classroom, where there was indeed a lot of trash, and it wasn't even left over from breakfast. He simply replied, "I know."

Then she turned and walked towards the back of the classroom, seemingly not wanting to have any more interaction with Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan didn't pay much attention to the other party's cold attitude. After all, he was already surprised that Liu Hao hadn't caused any trouble recently. He didn't really care about being cold or not. He then returned to his seat and started his morning reading.

Liu Hao really doesn't want to "find" Lin Chuan anymore. After all, he knows it's pointless. He used to want to compete for class monitor, but now that he's in Class 5, he doubts anyone can take the class monitor position from Lin Chuan.

As for Chen Xiyu... he walked into the classroom carrying the trash can he had just emptied, and subconsciously glanced at the girl at the front desk, who was holding a book and studying diligently.

From his angle, you can only see his profile, but it's so beautiful that you can't help but keep looking.

Just then, Lin Chuan happened to walk past Chen Xiyu, suddenly stopped, glanced at the book in her hand, and asked, "Why did you buy the school magazine?"

Chen Xiyu looked up and said, "Hehe, look at your essay."

"If you want to see it, just ask me for it. Actually, I wrote it in a computer document. I'll send you a copy," Lin Chuan said.

"Is reading a book the same as reading a computer document?" Chen Xiyu asked.

"What's the difference?" Lin Chuan said.

"I bought it as a way of supporting your writing. Next time someone calls for submissions, won't they come to you again?" Chen Xiyu said.

"I see."

Chen Xiyu smiled at him, her tone slightly encouraging, like an older sister giving a lecture, "Your essay is really good, keep it up."

"I'm flattered that the class representative said that," Lin Chuan said.

Seeing the two chatting happily, Liu Hao just sighed silently in his heart, then returned to his seat. He didn't want to think too much, but he wasn't in a good mood either, so he simply took out his phone to check the novel that had been updated last night.

He only recently discovered this novel, and it's actually written to his liking.

The morning classes went by quickly, since the midterm exams had just finished, and every teacher was simply handing out the test papers and going over them.

During the afternoon break, Lin Chuan looked up and saw a group of people gathered around Chen Xiyu's desk, including many familiar figures.

"Xiyu, what was your total score on the midterm exam?" Zhao Jiajia asked curiously.

There were many other students around, a scene that everyone enjoyed after the big exams: asking about scores everywhere and secretly comparing who got higher and lower scores, especially those with good grades who always received a lot of attention.

In every aspect, Chen Xiyu is the most watched student in Class 5.

"Didn't the Chinese language exam not start?" Chen Xiyu said.

"What about other subjects?" Zhao Jiajia had an extremely strong thirst for knowledge.

"Yeah, Chen must have done really well on the test, right?" a boy next to him chimed in. "What was his score exactly?"

Chen Xiyu thought for a moment, "History and Politics only scored a little over 90 points, and English scored 140 points."

"That's still very high," Zhao Jiajia said. "What about the other subjects? Let me see how many points you can get in total?"

"The rest are all perfect scores," Chen Xiyu said.

"Huh?" Zhao Jiajia was completely dumbfounded.

The surrounding classmates were also stunned. They all knew that Chen Xiyu had good grades, but they didn't expect her to be this good.

Zhao Jiajia feigned anguish, as if she were a drama queen, "Damn it, is this the terror of a top student? Just considering science subjects, if you easily score a little over 100 in Chinese, your total score will be at least 700!"

Students eagerly asked for Chen Xiyu's exam papers, and Chen Xiyu didn't hide them, placing all her exam papers on her desk. The surrounding students watched, exclaiming in amazement, and couldn't help but sigh, creating an unusually lively scene.

"Xiyu, you're first in the grade again, right?" Zhao Jiajia said. "Then why are you in our class?"

"I don't know, the school assigned us to classes," Chen Xiyu thought for a moment, "maybe it's fate."

Zhao Jiajia laughed, "I didn't expect you to tell corny jokes."

At the other end of the classroom, Lin Chuan also roughly calculated his midterm exam scores, excluding the subjects of politics, history, and geography that he had stopped studying after his second year of high school.

And considering the Chinese exam paper that hasn't been handed out yet, he estimated that he would score around 600 points, which is a very ordinary score for the No. 1 Middle School in the city.

However, after the exam, he had a general idea of ​​his score, since he hadn't focused much on studying during this period.

But he wasn't in a hurry. His goal wasn't to be number one in his grade in his first or second year of high school. He just needed to lay a solid foundation in the first two years, and he could take care of the rest later. He was confident in that.

"Wow, where did Chen come from, this freak?" Wang Xu returned from the crowd, looking on with amazement. "So many perfect scores, is he even human?"

"How did you do on the exam?" Lin Chuan asked.

Wang Xu was taken aback, then chuckled and put it in a more tactful way, "If my Chinese is okay, then my average score in each subject is over 90."

Lin Chuan thought for a moment, and with an average score of 90, if we only consider science subjects, he estimated it would be around 550.

Xue Ren walked into the classroom at this moment. He stood on the podium, put down a stack of test papers in his hand, and then knocked on the podium, "Quiet down, everyone, get ready for class."

Seeing that everyone had returned to their seats, I said, "Alright, before class begins, I'll talk about the midterm results. Of course, you've probably already asked enough questions; you already know who came in first place, right?"

"Class monitor!" the students in the class shouted in unison.

"Yes, the top student in the midterm exams is still the class monitor. Let me tell you about the individual subject scores," Xue Ren picked up the class ranking sheet, "Chinese 137, English 140, Math perfect score, Physics perfect score, Chemistry perfect score, Biology perfect score..."

As they listened to the voices from the podium, gasps of amazement rose and fell in the class. Everyone looked at Chen Xiyu with envy and admiration in their eyes.

"The second place is Cheng Xue, with 135 in Chinese, 144 in Math, 130 in English, a perfect score in Physics, and..."

As the second-ranked student in the class, Cheng Xue's grades, while not as exceptional as Chen Xiyu's, were still impressive. Next was Zhou Yun in third place, with scores of 125 in Chinese, 130 in Math, 120 in English, and 89 in Physics…

Fourth place: Zhao Jiajia; fifth place: ... Xue Ren read out the scores of the top ten students in the class in one breath.

"These are the top ten students in our class. It's worth mentioning that Chen Xiyu is not only the top student in our class, but also the top student in the grade. Cheng Xue is the fifth in the grade, and Zhou Yun is the sixty-third in the grade," Xue Ren said.

A burst of enthusiastic applause spontaneously erupted in the classroom.

The Chinese test papers were handed out, and Lin Chuan glanced at his score: 112 points, a fairly average score. His composition score was 58 points, which was probably the highest in the class, but the rest were just so-so.

"In Chinese, the highest score in our class for the composition is still the class monitor's 58 points, followed by Chen Xiyu's 57 points and Zhou Yun's 55 points—all excellent compositions." Xue Ren asked, "Today's schedule only includes reviewing the test papers, so we have plenty of time. Would everyone like to hear some of the outstanding compositions?"

"Yes," everyone answered in unison.

"Then, those three students whose names we just mentioned, don't be shy, come up on stage and share your thoughts!" Xue Ren said.

Lin Chuan saw that this time Lao Xue wasn't going to discuss it at all; Chen Xiyu and Zhou Yun were already standing on the podium, so he could only take the test paper and go up.

The three of them stood side by side on the stage, but no one spoke first. Lin Chuan had always been against this kind of thing.

At that moment, Chen Xiyu was right next to him. She touched the back of his hand, lowered her voice, and said, "You read first, hurry up."

Lin Chuan glanced at the side and saw that Chen Xiyu remained expressionless. He had no choice but to pick up his own test paper and start reading his essay. "My essay title is..." He finished reading the essay, which was over 800 words long, in no time. Then it was Chen Xiyu's turn to share with Zhou Yun.

Each time a student finished sharing, there was a round of applause. Then, Lao Xue had them share their writing experiences before letting the three of them leave the stage.

Just as Xue Ren finished explaining the last question, the school bell rang to signal the end of the afternoon.

He put down his test paper and said the same familiar line, "Alright, we've finished going over this midterm exam. If you still have any questions, come and ask me during evening study, or ask someone in the class who has good grades."

"One last thing, remember to tell your parents when you get home this week that there will be a parent-teacher meeting this weekend," he paused, "We need a few students to stay and help greet the parents. If any students are willing, you can talk to the class monitor later."

"That's it, get out of class dismissed."

Lin Chuan sighed. The last sentence, "You can talk to the class monitor," seemed to be an implicit acceptance of his position as class monitor. He would definitely be coming over the weekend. But thinking about it, it was normal. After all, he was the class monitor, so there was no way he could run away.

"Let's go eat." Lin Chuan turned to look at his tablemate.

"I have something to do; the anime club will have a small meeting later," Wang Xu said.

Lin Chuan hummed in agreement, got up and walked to the front desk. Chen Xiyu was sitting there alone. Zhou Yun had already been called to the office by Lao Xue. She looked up and saw Lin Chuan. The two looked at each other.

"Have you eaten?"

"Food," the other person replied.

"Um."

The two of them walked out of the classroom together, following the small groups of students towards the cafeteria.

"How did you do on your midterms?" Chen Xiyu asked about Lin Chuan's grades.

"About the same as you," Lin Chuan said.

"Approximately how much?"

"It's about a hundred points short." Lin Chuan had plenty of room for speculation, since the lower limit of this "a hundred points" was 100 points, and the upper limit might be 199 points.

"Your score is a bit low," Chen Xiyu said.

"Class monitor, you can't judge me by your own standards," Lin Chuan said. "What was my background in junior high? What was yours?"

"I think you could have done better. I looked at your Chinese exam paper; you got a lot of the essential classical poetry recitation questions wrong," Chen Xiyu said. "Besides writing novels, you also need to pay attention to your studies. Also, it seems like there's a lot going on in the student council these days. Are you too busy?"

Lin Chuan sighed, "Why do you sound so old-fashioned now? The tone you used just now was just like an old woman's."

"What old hag?" Chen Xiyu snorted. "Fine, I was just being nosy. If you don't want to hear it, I won't say it again."

"Just kidding. The class representative is just concerned about the students' studies. How could it be meddling?" Lin Chuan said with a smile. "Don't worry, if the student council or class monitor has too much to do, I'll withdraw myself. I know my own grades."

"real?"

"I guarantee it, my foundation isn't as good as yours. I'm only just starting high school, so instead of aiming for high scores, I'm definitely prioritizing building a solid foundation. If my foundation isn't strong, then when I have to do multiple rounds of review in my senior year, my grades will really plummet." Lin Chuan said logically.

"Okay." Chen Xiyu nodded, indicating that she believed what Lin Chuan said.

When the two arrived at the cafeteria entrance, Chen Xiyu didn't go in immediately. "Could you wait for me at the cafeteria entrance? I need to go back to my dorm to get something."

"Aren't you going back after you finish eating?"

"You still have to queue up to go there now," Chen Xiyu said.

OK.

The two parted ways at the entrance of the cafeteria. Chen Xiyu went back to her dormitory first, while Lin Chuan waited at the entrance of the cafeteria.

He stood by the bulletin board next to the gate, where there were some recent announcements, all of which were rather uninteresting.

"Lin Chuan." After waiting for a while, he heard someone call his name.

Lin Chuan turned around and was surprised to find that the person greeting him was Wu Yong, whom he had met once before.

"What's up?"

"I want to ask you something," Wu Yong said.

"explain."

"You..." Wu Yong hesitated for a moment, "Do you like Zhou Yun?"

The question was both unexpected and seemingly reasonable. Lin Chuan simply replied with one word: "No."

"Really?" Wu Yong still seemed a little skeptical. He thought Zhou Yun was so beautiful, had excellent grades, and a great personality, how could he not like her? Besides, the way Zhou Yun followed behind him that day seemed very familiar.

He had known Zhou Yun since he was a child, but he had never seen Zhou Yun talk to anyone like that.

"I'm going to eat now." Lin Chuan left with these words, too lazy to explain, and passed by him.

Wu Yong turned around, wanting to say something, when he realized that a tall and bright girl had come up behind him. He was stunned.

"Miss Chen, you're a bit late. The food in the cafeteria is getting cold," Lin Chuan said.

"I just went to get you something," Chen Xiyu said.

"What is it?" Lin Chuan asked.

Chen Xiyu handed over a thermos.

"Why are you giving me this?" Lin Chuan was taken aback.

"It was a free gift when I bought something. I was thinking I didn't need it, so I'm giving it to you. Do you want it?" Chen Xiyu said.

"Yes, yes." Lin Chuan took the thermos. It was almost the end of November, and the weather was gradually getting cooler, so having a thermos was really nice.

After taking the water cups, Lin Chuan and Chen Xiyu went into the cafeteria together. Sure enough, there were fewer people queuing at this time. After waiting for a while, the two of them got their food. They ordered two simple dishes and found a place to eat.

"Was that your friend just now?" Chen Xiyu asked.

"I encountered this once when applying for financial aid," Lin Chuan paused, "And besides, if you're going to ask a question, fine, but what's the meaning of taking my chicken nugget?"

"Let me try out the cafeteria lady's cooking for you today," Chen Xiyu said.

I will try it myself.

After finishing their meal, the two left the cafeteria. They weren't heading to the classroom, and there was still plenty of time before evening study, so there was no rush. The two of them strolled aimlessly.

The sunset was beautiful this afternoon. Chen Xiyu walked ahead, with Lin Chuan following behind. The sunlight cast long shadows of the two of them. The school's loudspeaker was playing the theme song from the TV series "Chinese Paladin," its melody soft and melodious, a gentle female voice carried on the breeze.

You said love is like a cloud.

"To be beautiful is to float freely."

"I finally believe it."

"Sometimes the reasons for breaking up are quite touching."

"My love for you has always been quiet."

"In exchange for the occasional care you give me..."

Lin Chuan rarely takes leisurely walks. He used to be always in a hurry, filling his time with work. Even after his rebirth, he still has various things to do. When he is alone, he walks faster.

But now, he suddenly felt that this kind of leisurely stroll was really quite nice...
