Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

"What?"

Zhang Xinyi was stunned.

"He asked you to review for him?"

For a moment, Zhang Xinyi thought she had misheard.

Until Lin Qingxue nodded.

"Yes, you can ask him yourself."

"But I remember the counseling session was supposed to last two hours, why are you back now?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinyi glared at her, looking at her calm yet scrutinizing gaze, and said irritably.

"What's it to you?"

These words were spoken.

Lin Qingxue's breath hitched, and even her originally calm expression gained a touch of coldness.

Zhang Xinyi inexplicably felt that the air pressure around her had dropped.

She glanced at Lin Qingxue before turning away and muttering to herself.

"It's weird. Usually, so many people say things to you and you don't react at all, but I only say one thing and you react so strongly."

The murmurs weren't kept secret, and Lin Qingxue heard them too.

But before she could react...

Zhang Xinyi turned around and waved her hand.

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to find that bastard!"

As she spoke, she jogged away from the corridor and gradually walked out of the classroom.

Liu Hai and Zhang Ziliang exchanged another glance.

"Hey, don't you think Brother Ji and this new girl Xin Yi look quite alike?"

"Yeah, I think so too. Talking to the class monitor just now was exactly the same, and even the way he waved his hand, tsk, it was exactly the same."

"Maybe it's because we've been sitting together as deskmates for half a month now, I've picked up some of Brother Ji's bad habits."

Zhang Ziliang shook his head, leaned closer, and whispered.

"I'll tell you a secret, which I heard from my dad."

"What?"

"My dad said he saw this Xinyi while he was working at Brother Ji's house."

"Holy crap, can't be? Brother Ji took him back?"

"I don't know either, and I didn't dare to ask. My dad kept asking me about my grades, so I had to hang up right away."

......

The two of them talked to each other.

Completely unaware of the growing chill in Lin Qingxue's eyes on the other side.

......

On the side of the corridor.

Chan Kin-kei didn't go to the restroom at all; instead, he leaned against the railing, enjoying the breeze and getting some fresh air.

The air here is much fresher than in the classroom.

"Hello!"

suddenly.

An angry shout rang out from behind.

Chen Jianji turned around and looked on in surprise.

"What brings you here? Weren't you going for psychological counseling?"

"I'm perfectly fine! Why did I have to go through all that trouble? I don't want to answer his pointless questions!"

Zhang Xinyi walked to his side in a sullen tone and leaned against the railing as well.

Chen Jianji glanced at her and could tell that she was clearly preoccupied.

After a few seconds of silence.

Chen Jianji suddenly smiled and said.

"People who are sick usually say they're not sick. Are you one of them?"

Sure enough, Zhang Xinyi immediately lost her temper.

"You're the one who's sick! You're riddled with problems!"

Bang!

Chen Jianji dodged her foot that was about to step down.

"Hey, don't hit me! Besides, I'm not afraid of anything, it can be treated!"

Zhang Xinyi glared at him fiercely.

"Why did you let Lin Qingxue teach you? Do you think I'm incompetent and can't teach you well?!"

Chen Jianji remained calm.

He had already prepared an explanation.

"She was always first in her grade at school and had participated in several competitions outside of school."

"Really? Is it accurate?"

Zhang Xinyi looked at him with some suspicion.

"That's definitely the case. I don't know if it's accurate or not, but there are only a few days left, so let's give it a try."

Chen Jianji shrugged, then changed the subject.

"But speaking of which, what's wrong with you? She shouldn't have made you that angry, right? Is something on your mind?"

"No way!"

Zhang Xinyi sullenly leaned against the railing again.

She lowered her head and her voice became much softer.

"that is..."

"After the exams, when you fill out your college applications, are you sure you'll choose schools near my place?"

Chen Jianji nodded as a matter of course.

"Of course! We'll definitely make a name for ourselves together when we go out there. I need help with what I need to do, and only you can handle it!"

Upon hearing this...

Zhang Xinyi didn't pout like before; her expression relaxed slightly, but then dimmed again.

She remained silent for a long time.

He seemed to be gradually mustering his courage before slowly speaking.

"My parents may need to separate for a while to cool off."

"I should have chosen to stay with my mom, but she was transferred to a job abroad."

"I don't know...whether I should go or not."

"If she doesn't go, I'll worry about her being alone in a foreign country."

"If I go... I'll be very scared... since I study there..."

Chen Jianji's body stiffened.

Even with the basic kinship as a foundation and a natural trust between them.

This young lady's guardedness, or rather, her sense of shame, remains so strong.

It took them half a month of getting to know each other before she finally opened up to him.

If it weren't for the upcoming college entrance exam, she would have fewer and fewer options.

Chan Kin-kei had reason to suspect that she was unwilling to say so quickly.

He didn't answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.

Zhang Xinyi shook her head, looking slightly annoyed.

"Oh dear, why am I telling you all this? Never mind, I... I'll go check out the counseling room again!"

She was about to turn and leave.

Chen Jianji suddenly spoke up.

"Why does my aunt want to go abroad? Is it to find some peace and quiet, to clear her mind, or something?"

Zhang Xinyi stopped and looked at him.

"Didn't I just say it was a job transfer?"

Chen Jianji waved his hand: "I can keep looking for a better job while I'm still employed; I'll only leave if I really can't find one."

"No matter what, my aunt has lived in Haicheng for so long. As long as she's not picky, she can find plenty of jobs."

Zhang Xinyi pursed her lips: "Then her current job must pay a higher salary."

Hey!

Chen Jianji snapped his fingers.

"That's money!"

Zhang Xinyi pursed her lips.

"You make it sound so easy, as if high-paying jobs are easy to find."

Chen Jianji was about to speak, but then shook his head.

"Forget it, I can't reason with a kid like you."

"After the college entrance exam, your aunt will come to pick you up. I'll talk to her then and convince her. You can rest assured."

Zhang Xinyi rolled her eyes.

"You? I don't believe it!"

Ring ring...

The school bell rang.

Chen Jianji withdrew his hand from the railing and took the lead in walking back.

Believe it or not.

Looking at his retreating figure, Zhang Xinyi finally couldn't help but ask again.

"Hey, can you guarantee that?!"

Chan Kin-kei raised his hand and waved it, giving an "OK" sign.

"no problem!"

Zhang Xinyi's worry visibly eased, but seeing his pretentious act, she couldn't help but feel angry again.

She stomped her foot!

"Ugh, so annoying! Wait for me!"

She jogged to catch up, and the two walked side by side.

But then, in the restroom behind them...

Li Wenyan slowly walked out!
