Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

Jing Ran looked up, following the trajectory of the fallen chicken leg, and met Bei Yao's smiling eyes.

"Hello, Little Lightning, we meet again."

"..."

Bei Yao casually placed the plate on the table, then nudged Jing Ran's shoulder, "You, move over a bit."

It's not a question, but a statement, and if you listen carefully, it even has a hint of a command.

Jingran immediately became unhappy.

"What are you doing? I'm not moving! There's no seat here, go to another table." After saying that, he deliberately moved his butt half an inch outward, puffing out his chest arrogantly like a little tiger that had taken over a mountain.

Bei Yao was amused by his appearance.

He ran into Jingran while getting his food. He saw the guy peering at the chicken leg window, looking so pitiful.

Bei Yao couldn't bear to see his junior schoolmate being "abused" like this, so without saying a word, he snatched the two chicken legs from Gu Wang's plate.

Watching helplessly as the chicken leg he had waited in line for so long was gone, Gu Wang didn't dare to say a word.

Nonsense, Yao is chasing after his wife. His future sexual happiness depends on these two chicken legs. If he eats them, he might not even live to see the sun rise tomorrow.

Jingran waited for a while, and seeing that Beiyao showed no sign of leaving, she said coldly, "Don't just stand there, okay? I said I won't move, unless..."

Before he could say anything, Bei Yao snatched his chopsticks and took the chicken leg from his own plate.

"Two, is that enough?"

He had anticipated that Jingran wouldn't agree to him sitting next to her, so he deliberately kept a backup plan.

Two big chicken drumsticks should be more than enough to satisfy this little foodie.

Sure enough, after the number of chicken legs was doubled, Jingran's mental defenses began to crumble.

He swallowed hard, not wanting to agree too quickly and lose his dignity, so he added another condition: "If you can get to the cafeteria early tomorrow and help me grab two chicken legs, I'll let you sit down."

"Okay," Bei Yao replied without hesitation.

Let alone two chicken legs, Jingran could buy up all the chicken legs in the No. 8 Middle School cafeteria if he wanted to.

I'm afraid this guy won't be able to finish it, and it'll be a waste.

Once an agreement was reached, Jing Ran moved next to He Ningqiu to make room for Bei Yao.

Actually, he was just about to say that he wouldn't move unless Bei Yao beat him up, but before he could finish the sentence, he was bribed with two chicken legs.

I was a bit of a coward, but... it's so good! QAQ

Too lazy to investigate why Bei Yao insisted on sticking to him, Jing Ran simply grabbed a chicken leg and started munching on it, asking He Ningqiu if he could finish it before buying him a Coke.

He Ningqiu was too embarrassed to say no, so he could only nod and continue eating his curry.

Curry rice is inherently dry, and with no water to drink, He Ningqiu found it incredibly difficult to eat. However, with He Ziyu sitting opposite her, she dared not say anything and could only grit her teeth and persevere.

"My name is Bei Yao, I'm from Class 7, Grade 11." Sensing the slightly awkward atmosphere at the dinner table, Bei Yao introduced himself, "I accidentally slipped while playing basketball yesterday and hurt a kid. If there are any aftereffects, feel free to contact me, I'll take full responsibility."

What kind of aftereffects...

This doesn't sound like concern; it sounds more like a curse.

Jingran rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking that this guy's words were too harsh, and the girl who married him in the future would definitely be very unlucky.

At this moment, Bei Yao was unaware that Jing Ran had labeled him as a wife-killer, and all he could think about was how to get closer to the two people opposite him.

It's clear that Jingran has a good relationship with them. If he can become friends with these two people first, then Jingran's wariness towards him will also decrease.

"You two don't need to introduce yourselves, I know you both. Jiang Chengyu, the student council president, and He Ziyu, the young master of the He family." Bei Yao smiled and looked calm.

He Ziyu was slightly taken aback. He subconsciously wanted to ask how he knew him, but after a couple of seconds he remembered that he was now a "celebrity" at No. 8 Middle School.

In his past life, he pursued Lan Yuan from the second year of junior high school all the way to high school. Not to mention Bei Yao, anyone could call him by name.

Moreover, Bei Yao is also on the basketball team.

After so many years, He Ziyu could hardly remember the people on the basketball team anymore, but he seemed to still have some impression of Bei Yao in front of him.

Back then, Lan Yuan's skills on the court were outstanding. There was only one person on the team whose skill level was comparable to his. If I remember correctly, that person was Bei Yao.

"Senior, can I add you on WeChat? I'll scan your QR code." He Ziyu suddenly took out his phone and opened WeChat.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengyu's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened slightly, and the meat he was holding almost fell to the ground.

What does Ayu mean by this?

Could it be that he stopped chasing Lan Yuan and started chasing Lan Yuan's teammates instead?

"Of course." Bei Yao had been waiting for He Ziyu to say that, and upon hearing it, he quickly showed his QR code.

When He Ziyu scanned the WeChat QR code, he was a little surprised to see Bei Yao's signature.

"Your signature is the same as Xiao Jing's? What a coincidence!"

Upon hearing this, Bei Yao smiled meaningfully and said, "I think so too."

Jing Ran, who had been focused on eating chicken legs for a hundred years, scoffed lightly, "Many people involved in sports like this saying. If this counts as fate, then my destined people could probably stretch to the other side of the earth."

After mocking Bei Yao, he wanted to ask He Ziyu why he added this narcissist on WeChat, but then he thought that he had added him too, and hadn't deleted him yet. No matter why, they were both equally bad, so neither could really say anything about the other.

However, Jiang Chengyu was not as carefree as Jingran.

From the very first second He Ziyu asked for Bei Yao's WeChat, he felt a pang of jealousy. He had witnessed He Ziyu's pursuit of Lan Yuan before, but for some reason, he couldn't control his emotions this time. He even wanted to snatch He Ziyu's phone and delete the messages for him.

However, Jiang Chengyu's rationality told him that he had no right to do so.

It's up to He Ziyu to want whose WeChat or who he wants to pursue; as a friend, he can only accept that.

For the rest of the time, He Ziyu and Bei Yao chatted almost the entire time.

Jiang Chengyu glanced at Bei Yao a few times, secretly comparing him with Lan Yuan, and finally concluded that the two were both "athletic handsome guys".

He knew He Ziyu liked boys who could play basketball, so he even went to the basketball court to practice. Later, his mother found out, dragged him home, gave him a good scolding, and warned him that if it happened again, she would cut off all his living expenses.

They needed Jiang Chengyu's absolute obedience, and at the same time, they gave him everything.

The domestic helper cooks three nutritionally balanced meals a day, the company invests heavily in building a private gym, and hires the best personal trainers in the industry to tutor students...

Jiang Chengyu's life seems to be one of comfort and ease, but he has no freedom whatsoever. Like a canary, he is at ease but can never escape his glamorous cage.

Halfway through the meal, he suddenly asked Bei Yao, "What are the requirements for joining the basketball team?"

He Ziyu paused for a moment, then gave Jiang Chengyu a strange look. "Brother Yu, why are you asking this?"

Jiang Chengyu did not answer He Ziyu, but stared directly at Bei Yao, waiting for his reply.

Bei Yao put down his chopsticks and said, "The basketball team at No. 8 Middle School is a self-organized team. The entry requirements aren't very high. Generally, as long as you meet the height and physical fitness standards, you can join. However, for things like intra-school basketball games and off-campus leagues, you have to start as a substitute."

After Bei Yao finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What, is the student council president interested in basketball?"

Jiang Chengyu neither confirmed nor denied it, saying, "I'm interested, but I don't have enough time."

As the class monitor, he already has a lot of things to handle, plus the work of the student council, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe his life as extremely busy.

However, Bei Yao didn't mind. "We don't have many requirements for the substitutes. As long as they don't play in the games, it's no different from letting them roam free."

After saying that, he took out his phone again, "Why don't you add me on WeChat? It'll be easier to keep in touch."

Jiang Chengyu did not refuse.

After adding Bei Yao on WeChat, He Ziyu couldn't help but tug at Jiang Chengyu's pants: "Brother Yu, I can play basketball with you if you want, but joining the basketball team is out of the question."

Bei Yao raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with the basketball team? We're very strong."

"I know you guys are strong, but there are people I hate in there." He Ziyu wiped his mouth with a tissue, his expression very serious.

"Someone you hate? Who is it?" Jingran immediately perked up at the mention of gossip.

He only knew that He Ziyu liked someone on the basketball team. How come there's another annoying person after just one summer vacation?

"Do I even need to ask who I hate? Of course it's Lan Yuan."

"what?"

"What? Is it strange that I hate him? I was so good to him before, but he not only didn't appreciate it, he also avoided me all the time. That's not all, his buddy Liu Wen, the one who got kicked in the butt by Tangyuan, tried to ambush me in the toilet yesterday."

"As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. If his friends are like that, he can't be much better."

"By the way, senior, you and Lan Yuan aren't friends, right? Don't mind me saying this about your teammate."

After he finished speaking, not only Jing Ran, but even Bei Yao was speechless.

He was initially worried that He Ziyu couldn't let go of Lan Yuan while being ambiguous with Jiang Chengyu, but now it seems...

This young master He is a ruthless person who can make decisive decisions!

……

After finishing their meal, the group walked out of the cafeteria.

He Ningqiu had only taken two steps when she started to gag, covering her mouth.

He forced himself to eat half of the curry rice, thinking that walking a few steps would suppress the nausea, but it only made it worse.

"I...I'm going to the restroom..." He Ningqiu said, then lowered her head and walked away quickly.

"What's wrong with your brother?" Jingran asked He Ziyu. "Aren't you going to go check on him?"

"He's just full, it's nothing serious." He Ziyu waved his hand, then hugged Jiang Chengyu's arm. "Brother Yu, let's go buy a big dairy cow."

Upon hearing about the big cow, Jingran immediately exclaimed, "I'm going too!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a large hand pressed down on his shoulder.

Bei Yao clutched the "light bulb" tightly and said to He Ziyu with a smile, "Could you please bring back two for us too? Thank you."

……

On the way to the convenience store, Jiang Chengyu remained silent. He Ziyu had no idea what he was thinking, so he simply told him corny jokes to cheer him up, as he always did.

"Brother Yu, do you know what it means when Pikachu stands up?"

"They're Pikachu soldiers! Hahaha, isn't that hilarious?"

In the past, Jiang Chengyu would have always smiled, but today, he surprisingly didn't react at all, making He Ziyu feel a little awkward.

When the two arrived at the corridor leading to the convenience store, Jiang Chengyu suddenly slowed down.

The next second, he grabbed He Ziyu's wrist and dragged him into the empty storage room next door.
