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

A whole week.

Whether it's during the day or during evening self-study.

In all the classes, there seemed to be a tacit understanding that they had fallen into a dull review session.

The usual noise and banter were gone.

Yes, all that remains is the impending imminent arrival of that intense pressure.

And today.

The morning sun has gradually risen.

The entire campus was filled with unfamiliar faces.

At the entrance of the cafeteria, several boys in school uniforms sat under the flower bed.

"Hey, bro, the exam starts at nine, are you nervous?"

Liu Hai took a bite of the steamed bun, but his eyes kept looking at the people coming and going around him.

Chen Jianji also picked up the soy milk, took a sip, and casually replied.

"It's alright. The exam is in our teaching building, so we're all familiar with it and the pressure isn't that great."

Zhang Ziliang echoed this while looking at his phone.

"What's there to be nervous about? This is our home turf, and other schools are playing away here. They're the ones who should be nervous."

Chen Jianji glanced at him and suddenly spoke.

"Yesterday your dad told my dad that if you don't get into university after the college entrance exam, he'll hang you outside my chicken coop for three days and three nights, and make you eat and sleep with the chickens."

Bang!

The Nokia fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

A stiff smile appeared on Zhang Ziliang's face.

"Brother Ji...this joke isn't funny..."

"Ha ha..."

Liu Hai couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Jianji chuckled and ignored him.

He took out his phone, glanced at the time, and then frowned.

"Strange, it's almost 8:30, does it really take that long to go to the convenience store to buy a few more 2B pencils?"

Hearing his mutterings, Liu Hai couldn't help but ask.

"What's wrong, Brother Ji?"

Chen Jianji shook his head.

"The teacher asked Zhang Xinyi to use the class funds to buy some stationery for the college entrance examination. We were to meet at the teaching building at 30:30. If anyone in the class didn't bring all the stationery, they could ask her for some."

"I'll send a message and ask."

As he spoke, he pressed the button on his phone again and opened the software dialog box.

The chat was still stuck on their last conversation.

[Rose Girl: Hey, buy breakfast first and wait for me at the cafeteria entrance. I'll be there after I buy some stationery for the teacher.]

[The Wind Chaser: After all this time, I've been at your beck and call, and you don't even deserve to call me 'brother'?]

[Rose Girl: How dare I complain every day? Forget it, it's too embarrassing!]

[The Young Man Who Chased the Wind: How Can He Avoid Being Embarrassed?]

[Rose Girl: It's embarrassing no matter what! Don't send me messages, I need to focus on reading them, I'm busy!]

Chen Jianji twitched the corner of his mouth before reaching out to edit the message and send it.

[The young man chasing the wind: I've almost finished both breakfasts, why hasn't he arrived yet?]

After waiting for quite a while, the other party still did not reply.

Chen Jianji frowned and raised his eyelids slightly.

rub!

He put away his phone and stood up.

"You two go to the teaching building by yourselves first, I'm going to the convenience store."

As Chen Jianji spoke, he began to walk towards the convenience store on the other side.

along the way.

People wearing various school uniforms passed by.

Chen Jianji didn't stop walking.

Until a group of people started talking.

"Didn't Hao-ge say he was expelled from school and banned from taking exams? How come I think I just saw him? Or am I seeing things?"

"No, I saw him too. He sneaked in wearing our school uniform, carrying a steel pipe. After the punishment notice came down last week, he said he wanted to get revenge."

"Revenge? What revenge? I guess it's some kind of relationship dispute. I saw him cornering someone who looked like a girl in the grove of trees behind the convenience store."

"Really? Did you see it?"

"No, but I heard a little sound, it was a girl's."

"Damn, aren't you going to tell the teacher?"

"I have an exam coming up soon, so I'd better avoid trouble. I don't want to get retaliated against and be unable to take the exam."

......

Chen Jianji suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The school uniforms they were wearing looked somewhat familiar.

Brother Hao?

Huang Wenhao?!

Chen Jianji's pupils contracted.

Almost instantly, he started running again, dashing across the convenience store and into the woods behind it.

at the same time.

Two figures walked out of the convenience store.

"Hey Qingxue, that person just now looked familiar? Wasn't that Chen Jianji?"

Liu Yun, carrying her newly bought pencil case, pointed to the disappearing figure.

Lin Qingxue kept her gaze fixed on that direction, her brows furrowed slightly.

"We're taking the exam in different classrooms. You're a bit careless, so go to the exam center early and wait there. I'll go find him and see what's going on."

"Oh, then hurry up, it'll start in a little over half an hour."

"Um."

......

In the woods.

Zhang Xinyi kept backing away until she bumped into a tree behind her.

She looked at the man in front of her whose eyes were bloodshot.

The other person was holding a stick that reflected a metallic luster, the top of which had been sharpened into a point.

Zhang Xinyi hugged the tree trunk behind her with both hands, nervously swallowing hard.

"You...you stay away! The exam's today! Aren't you going to take the college entrance exam?!"

"The National College Entrance Examination?"

Huang Wenhao gave a sinister laugh.

"I was reported by that bastard Chen Jianji. It was all in the past, but he brought up my old grievances at this point, preventing me from taking the college entrance exam."

"I haven't had a good night's sleep lately, I've been waiting to catch him at school today and beat him to a pulp."

"I didn't expect that if I couldn't catch him, I could at least vent my anger by catching an acquaintance. You've really stepped up."

"I remember that day on the court, Chan Kin-kee seemed to treat you quite well, right?"

"If I cripple you here, do you think he'd be happy?"

As he spoke, he slowly dragged the steel pipe forward.

The steel pipe rubbed against the muddy ground, leaving a long, thin mark.

The morning sun shone brightly, and the light reflected off the metal made Zhang Xinyi's cheeks feel cold.

Huang Wenhao stood in front of Zhang Xinyi.

Her robust physique contrasted sharply with her slender figure.

Zhang Xinyi's palms tightened, but she still managed to comfort her.

"Don't be impulsive. This is a school. If you lay a hand on someone, your life will be ruined."

"I'm ruined!"

Huang Wenhao roared at the top of his lungs, startling Zhang Xinyi.

The roar had barely subsided.

The other person had already swung the steel pipe and slammed it down heavily on her.

In her panic, Zhang Xinyi only had time to cover her head and close her eyes.

Thump! Buzz!

A heavy, dull thud followed by a metallic, resonant hum.

Zhang Xinyi was trembling all over.

But... the pain I imagined didn't come.

She was completely stunned.

Until a drop of warm liquid landed on her cheek.

It has a slightly rusty smell.

Zhang Xinyi's eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.

What came into view was a sea of ​​blood.
