Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

At six o'clock in the evening, Su Fengnan slung her schoolbag over her shoulder and walked towards school. Watching her classmates walking in groups of three or five along the way, she sighed softly to herself: "It's so good to be young."

As the evening sun slowly sank below the horizon, a gentle halo spread across the sky. Su Fengnan strolled leisurely on her way to school, gazing contentedly at the afterglow of the setting sun, and raised her hand in a pose as if taking a photo.

I couldn't help but think to myself, "If only I had a camera." Sigh, in the end, you still need money.

When I strolled to the school, melodious music was playing over the loudspeaker.

Rows of roses lined one side of the road, while tall, straight poplar trees stood on the other. The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the campus, and groups of students, backpacks on their backs, chattered as they walked towards their classrooms. Surrounded by these young, innocent figures, Su Fengnan felt a sense of both familiarity and strangeness.

Youth is wonderful, and it's even better to be able to study peacefully. She secretly made up her mind that in this life, she was here to take the college entrance exam and to start a new life, and no one could stop her now.

Entering Class 3 of Grade 11, the classroom was still noisy, and most of the students had already arrived. Her seat was in the third row from the bottom of the first group, by the window.

No sooner had she sat down than Ning Xiaojun rushed into the classroom, panting, and came over: "Susu, have you finished your English homework? Hurry up, let me copy it."

Ning Xiaojun was her deskmate and best friend. She had a small, round face, big eyes, a slightly chubby face, and fair, delicate skin, making her look exceptionally sweet and endearing. In her past life, after Su Fengnan ran away from home, Ning Xiaojun was heartbroken for a long time and gradually lost contact with her. It wasn't until many years later, after Su Fengnan divorced and returned to Zhucheng, that the two reconnected and maintained a very close relationship.

Su Fengnan looked up and was stunned for a moment. Judging from her anxious appearance, she knew that it must be something bad.

"What's the rush? There's plenty of time to copy during evening self-study."

"Oh no, I'm too late! I have a geography test during evening self-study!"

How did you know?

"I just ran into Teacher Zhou and the homeroom teacher at the school gate. I heard them talking. Teacher Zhou was carrying a stack of test papers."

The students who overheard the conversation immediately erupted in complaints.

"Then let me copy your math homework too." Su Fengnan also got anxious.

"Okay, hurry up, let's switch."

She seemed to have taken an exam on this day in her past life, but at that time she was preoccupied with leaving and didn't take it to heart at all.

Several girls in the class were also complaining about their geography teacher's strictness: "Teacher Zhou is determined to drive us crazy!"

"What should I do? I haven't done so much homework yet."

"Me too, I left all my math and English blank."

"Teacher Zhou always surprises us, it's so annoying, I really want to skip class."

"Skipping class? You want to be killed by Abbess Miejue?"

"Accept your fate."

Hearing the groans of their classmates, Su Fengnan and Ning Xiaojun quickly exchanged assignments and frantically copied them. They finished copying just as the preparatory bell rang.

Evening self-study officially began, and the classroom instantly fell silent. Teacher Zhou walked in with a serious expression, carrying the test papers. Without saying a word, she placed the divided papers in the first row of each group and passed them around. An hour and a half passed quickly in this unexpected exam. After collecting the papers, the geography teacher turned and left the classroom.

In the last half hour, Su Fengnan couldn't do much homework, so she took out her textbook and silently memorized the material, occasionally hearing classmates lamenting that they had failed the exam.

After evening self-study, Su Fengnan and Ning Xiaojun walked out of the school gate together.

"Susu, how did you do on the exam?" Ning Xiaojun asked.

"It's alright."

This was her first exam since being reborn, and she was still a little out of sorts. Her weakest area in geography was calculation, and she already had a rough idea of ​​how many points she would get.

"Jun Jun, have you thought about which university you want to apply to?" Su Fengnan asked casually.

"I haven't decided yet... but I want to apply to universities further away." Ning Xiaojun answered after a moment of silence.

"Do you want to get away from your parents?" Su Fengnan asked softly.

She remembered Ning Xiaojun saying in her past life that her parents often argued, and whenever they did, she was too scared to stay at home and would have to run away. The influence of her family on her was far deeper than others could imagine.

Ning Xiaojun did not answer. The two of them had just reached the school gate and were about to part ways.

"Susu, I'm leaving now, let's talk tomorrow."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

After parting ways with Ning Xiaojun, Su Fengnan went straight to the internet cafe. There were still plenty of empty seats, so she found one and sat down to continue typing.

Unbeknownst to her, not far from the school gate, a man, not seeing her, took out his phone and made a call.

"Hey bro, I didn't see him. I'll come back tomorrow... Yeah, don't worry, I'll come back tomorrow. Okay, I'll head back now."

Time always flies when you're focused on something. Two hours later, Su Fengnan didn't dare linger and immediately got off the plane and headed back. The county town wasn't safe at night, so she practically ran all the way back.

Back in the rented room, Su Fengxia was snuggled in bed reciting her lessons. Seeing her little sister's obedient appearance, Su Fengnan's heart softened, and her maternal love overflowed. She couldn't help but go over and gently kiss her forehead.

"Sweetie, go to sleep now."

Su Fengxia froze, staring at her with wide eyes, and asked nervously, "Sister, are you alright? Are you... are you still my sister?"

In her memory, her older sister had always been stubborn and fierce to others, but she had never been so gentle to her.

"If I'm not your sister, then who is?"

Before her rebirth, she would put her two children to sleep every night, telling them bedtime stories, and kissing them on the forehead was a daily routine, a habit she had long since formed. Looking at her soft, cuddly little sister now, she did it naturally, without thinking twice.

"Well, I came back late, and I was afraid you'd worry." Su Fengnan's eyes darted away slightly, and her expression was somewhat unnatural.

Su Fengxia was displeased and raised her head: "Then why are you so late? You didn't go out to date, did you? You have a boyfriend, don't be two-timing."

"What are you thinking about all day long? Is your sister the kind of person who's fickle?" Su Fengnan glared at her and flicked her forehead lightly.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Rather than letting her guess, it's better to be direct and clear, so as not to affect her mind.

Su Fengnan composed herself and looked at her seriously: "Yan Yun and I have broken up. Don't overthink things. Focus on your studies, get into a good high school, and then a good university. I've also decided to study hard for university, so from now on, I'll put all my energy into my studies."

Su Fengxia remained lying face down, staring blankly at her, feeling that her sister had become strange ever since she woke up from her illness.

"Also, no dating too early. If I find out..."

"What will happen if they find out?" Su Fengxia asked with a grin.

"I'll cut off all your snacks, and then I'll beat up that brat who dared to steal my cabbage."

"Sis, you're too fierce! Be careful you won't be able to get married in the future."

"I'm not kidding you. A few days ago I saw a guy walk you home, and the way he looked at you was weird. Don't think I didn't notice."

"I know, sis, I won't date too early. He brought me back just to pick up his workbook, which I borrowed and forgot in the classroom, so I didn't have time to return it," Su Fengxia quickly explained.
