Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

Lu Chengzhang meant it casually, but his unintentional joke hit the bullseye and struck Jiang Chengyu's heart.

Jiang Chengyu pursed his lips, a barely perceptible hint of panic flashing in his dark eyes.

In fact, he had already mentally prepared himself yesterday and planned to confess his feelings to He Ziyu in front of the whole school at today's opening ceremony.

However, what He Ziyu said to him before parting yesterday completely calmed him down.

Jiang Chengyu didn't know if it was a hint, but upon closer reflection, it made sense. He and He Ziyu were both students, relying entirely on their parents for food, clothing, and other necessities, and they couldn't shoulder any real responsibility. Under these circumstances, going against their parents would have unimaginable consequences.

Recalling the miserable experience of being forced into blind dates by his mother in the United States, Jiang Chengyu became even more convinced that he had to work hard to become stronger in order to be qualified to fight for everything he wanted and protect the people he wanted to protect.

……

Lu Chengzhang sensed something unusual in Jiang Chengyu's silence.

Could it be that he hit the nail on the head? Is there really someone Jiang Chengyu likes in Class 7? Thinking this, he narrowed his eyes and quickly scanned the classroom.

To be honest, most of the girls in Class 7 were of average appearance, and the few who were slightly better looking were dressed like delinquents. Lu Chengzhang felt that no matter how desperate Jiang Chengyu was, it was unlikely that he would like this type of girl.

After looking around, it seemed that the handsome deputy squad leader in front of him was the most pleasing to the eye.

But it was a boy!

Lu Chengzhang felt that his usually accurate reasoning ability had reached a dead end, so he gave up struggling and decided to find another way.

"Go to class first. Class monitor, come to my office during lunch break."

"puff……"

Jingran was curled up in her desk playing on her phone when she heard poor Yu Ge being summoned by the teacher again, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He Ziyu frowned slightly, stretched out his long leg and kicked Jing Ran's table leg, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

Jingran clicked her tongue. "If you keep treating me differently like this, I'm really going to start suspecting that you and Brother Yu are having an affair."

He Ziyu raised an eyebrow proudly, thinking to himself, "You've finally shown some intelligence this time."

……

The morning passed in the blink of an eye.

As soon as the lunch break bell rang, a group of students rushed to the cafeteria like starving ghosts.

Before long, only He Ziyu, Jing Ran, and He Ningqiu remained in the classroom.

"Are we really waiting for him?" Jingran rubbed her rumbling stomach. "That Octopus Bro seems like he can talk a lot, maybe even more than Sister Bao. What if Brother Yu gets held up there for the whole afternoon? We'll starve to death!"

He Ziyu was engrossed in memorizing vocabulary when he heard Jing Ran say this. Suddenly remembering something, he slapped his thigh.

"I told you! You're the one who gave him the nickname 'Squidward,' it wasn't me at all! Look how many years you've wronged me!"

In their past life, after graduating from high school, their whole class had a reunion dinner. When they talked about the teachers' nicknames, Jing Ran insisted that he was the one who gave Lu Chengzhang the nickname, and he carried that burden until his death.

Jingran looked completely bewildered. "Ayu, what are you saying? I don't understand a word you're saying!"

"With your IQ, it's no wonder you don't understand."

"?!"

……

Watching the two frolicking from afar, He Ningqiu bit her lip, feeling very uncomfortable.

He's been "invisible" all morning.

During those few hours, He Ziyu didn't speak to him or introduce him to anyone, treating him completely as if he were invisible.

That guy clearly patted his chest in front of his father and promised to take care of him...

He Ningqiu was thinking about how to relay the situation to her father without seeming petty when He Ziyu's voice came from behind her: "Ningqiu, come here."
