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

On the table.

Chan Kin-kei and Lam Ching-suet sat side by side.

They both drank their soup in silence.

After finishing the last sip of soup, Zhao Yong, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but whisper a joke to Wang Shuxian beside him.

"Look at Brother Ji and the class monitor, their faces are both red, they actually look quite well-matched."

Wang Shuxian also lowered her head, covered her mouth, and chuckled softly.

"That's true."

at this time.

Chen Jianji was still slightly out of breath, his face flushed from the exertion.

He was clearly beaten, but there wasn't a single scratch on his body.

Lin Qingxue, standing nearby, seemed still absorbed in the whispers Wang Suling had made to her in the kitchen and hadn't quite come to her senses yet.

suddenly.

"Cough! Cough!"

Chen Jianji took a sip of soup too quickly and couldn't help coughing.

He coughed as he reached for the tissues on the table, but couldn't reach them.

Suddenly, a slender hand reached out from the side, holding a piece of paper with a faint fragrance in its palm.

"Wipe your sweat, so you won't catch a cold when you go into the air-conditioned room later."

A familiar voice rang out.

Chen Jianji paused.

He slowly raised his eyes.

Lin Qingxue quietly sipped her soup, casually handing herself a tissue with her other hand.

Her profile was calm, but a faint blush had crept onto her fair and delicate skin.

The steam rising from the soup bowl on the table splashed onto her cheeks, adding a damp mist.

Even with her aloof expression, she was inexplicably alluring and captivating.

But Chan Kin-kei only glanced at it before looking away.

He turned to look at Zhang Xinyi, who was watching the commotion from the other side.

"Young lady, don't you have any common sense? The tissues are so close to you, why don't you move them over for me?"

Seeing that there was no fun to be had, Zhang Xinyi pouted.

She was already seething with anger, and pushed the tissues even further away in a huff.

"Ha, men. They were so polite to me when I first arrived."

"And now? They thought I was easy to talk to, so they ordered me around, and now they're doing the same thing again, even throwing my clothes away!"

"Are all men the same?"

As soon as Zhang Xinyi finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of Zhao Yong standing to the side, who shuddered and silently lowered his head to continue drinking his soup.

She quickly added, "Um, I wasn't talking about you! Don't misunderstand."

Chen Jianji suddenly spoke up.

"Zhao Yong, she means you're not a man."

Zhao Yong's body stiffened again.

Zhang Xinyi immediately retorted, "You're talking nonsense! I didn't say that!"

"Shuxian, I really wasn't talking about him!"

Wang Shuxian's face flushed red instantly.

"Why...why are you telling me this...?"

Wang Jiaqi joined in the teasing.

"Oh my, you're even shy now!"

"No...no, I didn't!"

"Oh dear, you guys are drinking your soup! Look, Liu Yun has almost finished it all!"

...

The table immediately erupted in chaos.

Chen Jianji smiled and glared at Zhang Xinyi.

"Tsk, see? You've offended two people at once. This is what happens when you go against me."

The latter ignored him, only snorting through his nostrils.

As he spoke, he subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his mouth.

Anyway, I have my own clothes at home, so I'm not worried about my sleeves getting dirty; I can just change them.

The light, soft touch on his palm made Chen Jianji's hand freeze.

Ok?

When did you put this paper in your hand?

Chen Jianji looked to his side again.

Lin Qingxue calmly drank her soup, as if nothing had happened.

Even the blush on her cheeks had faded, restoring their fair and clear complexion.

Chen Jianji's smiling face suddenly darkened.

He casually tossed the unused tissue into the trash can.

Lin Qingxue seemed to have seen it out of the corner of her eye, her hand paused but she didn't say anything.

Just then.

Wang Suling came out of the storage room not far away.

"Kids, you must be tired from the car ride. The sun is strong now, why don't you take a nap? The house isn't big, I just laid out some mattresses on the floor, so please make do for now."

"In the evening, let Jianji take you wherever you want to go."

"Later I'll ask my uncle to find someone to set up a few beds so I can sleep more comfortably."

Everyone waved their hands repeatedly.

"No need, Auntie, we can just sleep on the floor."

"When we arrived, Brother Ji told us that it wasn't necessary, and that it was still more comfortable than the narrow and small hard beds in the dormitory."

"Yes, no need for that, it's already very good!"

Wang Jiaqi, Zhao Yong, and Wang Shuxian all spoke politely.

Only Liu Yun, Zhang Xinyi, and Lin Qingxue remained silent.

Chen Jianji glanced at it.

The chubby girl only cares about eating.

Zhang Xinyi's face was still flushed with anger, clearly still unhappy.

As for the last person...

Ha...what does it have to do with him?

"Alright, chubby girl, stop eating. If you're too full, you won't be able to eat the roasted chicken later."

"Then you guys go to sleep first. I'll change my clothes and go back to my room to sleep for a while."

Chen Jianji got up and started walking inside.

When passing by Zhang Xinyi.

Sudden.

Bang!

A white shoe fell from the sky.

Chen Jianji lifted his leg.

Oops, you missed!

Zhang Xinyi was even angrier and was about to kick him again when...

Chen Jianji said helplessly.

"Alright, alright, why are you so temperamental?"

"I just got hit, and I didn't say anything."

"If you get into Tsinghua University after the college entrance exam, I'll use my savings to take you on a trip and buy you some new clothes, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinyi withdrew her foot, but slightly raised her chin.

"Hmph, I'm sure I can get into Tsinghua University!"

"Just wait until you go bankrupt!"

Chen Jianji shrugged and was about to continue walking back to his room when...

Wang Suling reached out and pulled him aside.

"What are you doing? Your classmate finally comes to visit, and you just go back to your room without even checking on them?"

"That storage room is spacious; I've emptied it all out. There's enough room for all of you to rest together."

Before Chen Jianji could speak...

The dishes had been cleared away by someone nearby sometime earlier.

Just as Lin Qingxue was about to turn around and put the items into the kitchen, she suddenly spoke while her back was to them.

"The sheets in your room that I just used haven't been changed yet."

After saying that, she walked towards the kitchen without looking back.

Only Chen Jianji remained standing there, his eyes deep and troubled.

After a long while, he clicked his tongue.

"Never mind, I'll sleep in the storage room."

Chen Jianji took the lead and walked to one side.

Several people at the table also got up and left.

All that remained was Lin Qingxue, who carried bowls and chopsticks back and forth into the kitchen, leaving behind only the silent wiping of the table.

Wang Suling had just reminded Chen Jianji but didn't have time to stop him.

He quickly stepped forward and took the rag from her hand.

"No need, honey! You're here to have fun, don't do these chores. You didn't sleep well and were woken up, come and rest some more!"

"I can do this, just listen to me."

Lin Qingxue lowered her head reservedly, and after a long while, she responded softly.

"Um..."

Inside the storage room.

Several new floor mats have already been laid out here.

Everyone lay down one after another.

Chen Jianji had also changed his clothes and was lying on the far side.

Meanwhile, a few people on the other side were lying on their sides, whispering among themselves.

Wang Jiaqi's voice rang out.

"Hey, don't you guys think that the class monitor here, even though he doesn't talk much, seems different from how he is at school?"

"She even volunteers to help with housework; the class monitor isn't usually that proactive."

Wang Shuxian thought for a moment and then whispered.

"I heard from others that if a group of friends go to a male classmate's house, the person who is the most reserved and very different from usual must have a special relationship with this male classmate."

Just as Liu Yun was about to drift off to sleep, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Oh, really? If you went to Zhao Yong's house, would you do the same?"

These words were spoken.

Even Zhao Yong looked over.

Wang Shuxian shrank back and immediately covered her head with the quilt.

"Haha, getting shy again!"

Wang Jiaqi couldn't help but laugh, and even Zhao Yong had a slight smile on his face.

Chen Jianji listened to the group's hushed conversation.

He turned to the side and looked out the window.
