What's wrong with me?

The squad leader looked at Qi Xia with some resentment, as if he was blaming Qi Xia for being a scumbag who had flirted with her last night and ended up getting together with another woman today.

"What do you mean by going to a place you shouldn't be? Don't frame me. I really was at home the whole night. After chatting with you, I went straight to bed. This hair must belong to my aunt."

Qi Xia glanced at the hair held in the squad leader's hand. He seemed to be able to smell the reassuring scent of his aunt from it.

However, he was a little confused. He had not had any contact with his aunt since he took a shower and changed clothes last night. When did this hair fall on him?

"It's your aunt's?"

The monitor still looked at him with some suspicion. She knew Qi Xia's aunt, who was incredibly beautiful. In her short seventeen years of life, Qi Xia's aunt could be said to be the most beautiful and elegant woman she had ever seen. Even Jiang Xinyao or their English teacher Lin Shihan could only rank slightly behind Qi Xia's aunt in this respect.

"But how did your aunt's hair fall on your shoulders?"

Seeing Qi Xia's calm expression, the squad leader gradually believed him. As for why his aunt's hair fell on him, Qi Xia thought it was quite normal. His clothes and bed sheets were usually washed by his aunt, so it was not surprising that his aunt's hair was stuck on them.

The monitor finally let him go to collect other people's homework. Qi Xia sat upright in his seat and carefully observed everything around him that he had never paid enough attention to before.

The academic work in the third year of high school is indeed very busy. Even though the school has just started, the class is already filled with a sense of tension.

The morning classes are still the busiest time of the day. Looking at his former Chinese teacher, Lao Li and Sister Shihan, teaching knowledge seriously on the podium, Qi Xia turned the pen in his hand, but his mind flew away.

Although he has become a high school student in appearance, he is no longer the innocent boy who has experienced nothing. Now he has too many concerns and too many thoughts. Looking at those complicated and boring questions, Qi Xia can't calm down at all.

Qi Xia knew in his heart that although he had been very positive and happy from yesterday till now, sometimes he was actually just numbing himself, forcing himself not to think about what had happened in the past.

He said he wanted to give up on her, but he couldn't let her go. After years of living together, he had long been accustomed to Yue Ran being by his side. Yue Ran's existence seemed to have left an indelible mark on his life and even his soul.

Once people have free time, they will start to have random thoughts. Qi Xia was still sitting here, in his familiar classroom, but his soul seemed to have flown away. His mind kept replaying the last period of his previous life, recalling Yue Ran's crazy and hysterical expression at the last moment over and over again.

He was not sure whether it was he who caused Yue Ran to become like that, or whether that was her true nature that she had always hidden.

He didn't want to believe the latter because it sounded too far-fetched.

Yue Ran was always so gentle and shy when facing him, even her voice was so soft, how could she have such a nature?

So he was more willing to believe the former. It was his evasion and irresponsibility that caused Yue Ran to fall into the abyss little by little and die with him.

He had actually felt for a long time that Yue Ran's love for him was not normal. Her feelings for him were so deep that sometimes she would distort her own will to satisfy him.

He once enjoyed the feeling of being loved wholeheartedly by such a beautiful girl like Yue Ran, but he didn't know that all this laid the seeds for what happened later.

Because he had never expected that a girl like Yue Ran, who was so persistent and stubborn in love, and even regarded it as more important than her own life, would impulsively do what when she heard that he wanted to break up with her.

She was right, it was he who harmed her, it was he who personally killed the once lovely and gentle Su Yueran.

He suddenly recalled the scene when Yue Ran found him in the rental house. She looked a mess, her originally soft and gorgeous long hair had become tangled, and even her beautiful eyes that should have been moist and clear were filled with madness and paranoia.

But what reminded him of this scene was not Yue Ran’s terrible condition at that time, but... she was so fully prepared. She brought the electric baton he gave her for self-defense and the rope to tie him up, as if she had expected from the beginning that he would refuse and had already prepared everything to commit suicide with him.

I remember that before Yue Ran committed suicide, she once told him that before he made up his mind to break up with her, she had been fantasizing early that day, wondering whether he would come back that day, whether he would come back to her side, and she had been looking forward to the two of them being able to spend this important day together, because that day was the anniversary of their love.

But why, when he saw her, her condition was so bad, so bad that he couldn't believe it was her.

And why, when he and she lived only a few kilometers apart, did it take her so long to find him? What on earth had she been doing during this time?

She seemed hurt, he thought, because he noticed that Yue Ran's movements that day were a little unnatural. He had been with her for so long, and he could sense it even if she tried to cover it up. And that day was not her period, and he always took note of the days when his girlfriend had her period.

"How can it be."

Qi Xia shook his head. How could that be? He thought, she must have taken so long just because she was hesitating. She must have been injured because she was too anxious. The weather was so bad when they committed suicide together.

Moreover, she probably had not thought of committing suicide with him at the beginning. It was only his repeated rejections that pushed this girl who had been so tolerant of him into a desperate situation.

Chapter 28 Confession

"Old Xia, let's go eat together."

At noon, Jia Shuai, who had been dozing off all morning, called Qi Xia to go to the cafeteria to eat as usual.

But he didn't know that Qi Xia in front of him was no longer the guy who was willing to eat in the cafeteria just to save time.

After hearing his words, Qi Xia, who was packing her things, shook her head and told him, "I won't go. I promised my aunt that I will go home for dinner every day from now on."

This gave Lao Jia a big surprise. Before, they always went to the cafeteria to get meals together. If Qi Xia suddenly stopped going, wouldn't he become alone?

But he had no choice. He couldn't stop Old Xia from going back, right? Fortunately, besides Qi Xia, he had many other bad friends. He could still find company with others. It was just that Qi Xia had the best relationship with him.

The class monitor was talking to other girls in the class. Naturally, the topic was something that Qi Xia was not very interested in, such as pop songs.

Qi Xia remembered that the class monitor didn't seem to eat in the school cafeteria. She would get up early every morning to prepare lunch and then bring it to school in a lunch box.

She had eaten there once with Qi Xia and the others, and had never been there again.

She said that even if she cooked with her eyes closed, the food she cooked would taste better than the food in the cafeteria.

She also suggested that if Qi Xia was willing, she could prepare lunch for him every day as a thank you for his help with her studies.

Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, Qi Xia must promise her to complete her homework on time every day, and not to hang out in places like Internet cafes with Lao Jia after school in the afternoon.

Of course Qi Xia refused without hesitation. Not to mention how much trouble this would cause the class monitor, if Qi Xia really agreed, it wouldn't take long for rumors to spread around the class, saying that he was in love with the class monitor again.

Besides, it's not that there is no one willing to cook lunch for him. His aunt has told him more than once that even if he doesn't have time to go home at noon, she can prepare lunch for him and bring it to school in a lunch box. However, he didn't agree because he felt sorry for his aunt.

Qi Xia has also tried the food cooked by the monitor, and it can be said that it is very good. For a girl who is only seventeen years old, she can be called clever and dexterous. But, who is Qi Xia? No matter how good the monitor's cooking skills are, in front of her aunt, it can only be said to be okay.

Qi Xia glanced at the class monitor and found that the class monitor seemed to be secretly looking at him. When she saw him looking at her, she immediately retracted her gaze and continued talking to the girls in the class. She was also making corrections on the test paper in her hand, as if she was correcting the test paper she had just finished.

Qi Xia didn't care. He drove back home. The lunch time was not long and he had to rush back after eating.

He didn't have the habit of taking a nap at noon, and since he entered the third year of high school, every day after the lunch break, the grade would give them a small writing exercise to do. He didn't want to miss it, and then be caught by the class monitor and nagged for a long time.

Although the day became tight after returning to high school, Qi Xia quite enjoyed this kind of life. He didn't have to run around like before and be criticized by his team leader. He also didn't have to deal with all the exhausting trivialities in life. More importantly, he no longer had to worry about the huge gap between him and Yue Ran.

But something happened in the afternoon that Qi Xia could not have imagined. A boy from the next class actually came and confessed to the class monitor.

This surprised all the boys except Qi Xia and Lao Jia, because the boy from the next class was quite good-looking, and could be considered quite handsome with a little dressing up, but for some reason he just fell in love with the class monitor.

The monitor of their class is a well-known tigress in Qi Xia's class. She has an ordinary appearance and her dress is so outdated.

Perhaps it was because of the butterfly effect brought about by his rebirth, although Qi Xia was briefly surprised because this incident had never happened in his memory.

But Qi Xia was not surprised. The class monitor went to another province when she was in junior high school. He heard from her that there was a classmate of hers in the next class. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be this person.

But Qi Xia had to admire the other party's stubbornness. The school rules did not allow premature love, but he was so open about it and confessed to the class monitor in front of them.

Moreover, he was the classmate of the class monitor in junior high school and he should know the class monitor's character. It would be fine if he confessed in private, but how could the class monitor save face by doing it in such a public way?

"Yuwei, I like you. I have liked you since junior high school, so please go out with me!"

Amid the jeers of both boys and girls in the class, the boy confessed to the class monitor. Qi Xia did not say anything, but just watched quietly. However, under that expressionless face, Qi Xia's heart was beating rapidly.

He didn't know what he was so nervous about, maybe because he was worried that if the squad leader really agreed to the confession, it would affect their friendship, or maybe it was just because of men's bad nature.

Compared to others, he knows the class monitor's true appearance.

Until the monitor suddenly turned around to look at Qi Xia, then turned back to the boy and said, "I'm sorry, I can't promise you, Zhang Kai. You are already a senior in high school. You should focus more on studying instead of things like love."

Qi Xia's heartbeat gradually slowed down.

After being rejected by the class monitor, the boy became visibly depressed, with disappointment all over his face.

Although Qi Xia felt sorry for him, she really couldn't empathize with him. He had only been in love twice in his life. One time he was confessed to, and the other time he confessed actively...

Even he himself did not expect it to be so smooth, so smooth that Qi Xia himself could not believe it. If not for the result, perhaps everyone would envy his good luck.

"Don't lose heart, brother. There are always better fish in the sea."

"Yes, there are so many beautiful girls in the school, and the class monitor is just so-so. Isn't Xia Xinran from your class much prettier than our class monitor? And Jiang Xinyao, oh, I almost forgot, she is already Qi Xia's designated wife."

"You don't understand. Yu Wei is no worse than them..."

Because they admired his courage to confess his feelings, even though he failed, everyone comforted him after the event.

But the boy named Zhang Kai still couldn't let it go. After all, he was the junior high school classmate of the class monitor. In Qi Xia's opinion, he, like himself, had seen the true face of the class monitor under that disguise.

The boy left their class miserably, but from what he said before he left, it seemed that he was not going to give up.

Although it was a small episode, it meant a lot to Qi Xia and gave him a little confidence.

Things that had never happened before happened before his eyes, although this might just be a slight butterfly effect brought about by his rebirth.

But the impact of the butterfly effect is continuous, and his small decision may change the direction of the future, and thus change his and their endings.

Qi Xia was greatly encouraged, but who knew that the protagonist of this incident, Lu Yuwei, his squad leader, suddenly sat in front of him.

Chapter 29 Not Allowed

"That guy just now was my classmate in junior high school. He has been bothering me since junior high school. I have rejected him once before, but he still hasn't given up. It's so annoying."

She sat in her seat facing Qi Xia. Even though she had just become the heroine that everyone was paying attention to, her expression and mentality did not seem to be affected at all.

The eyes behind the glasses looked at Qi Xia's hands that were writing on the test paper, and she thought of the boy just now. She couldn't help but reveal a hint of disgust in her tone.

The class monitor's evaluation was merciless, which made Qi Xia feel even more sorry for the boy from the next class.

He clearly mustered up the courage to confess his love, but who would have known that the person he liked didn't like him at all and even said bad things about him in front of another man.

It seems that not everyone has a smooth journey in the pursuit of love.

"Class monitor, I am your admirer after all, so it's really hurtful to say that."

"Hmm? So you mean I should accept his confession?" The squad leader glanced at Qi Xia, but the brief eye contact made Qi Xia feel dangerous.

"Of course not. Class monitor, you have the right to like or dislike someone. But if you say that, if there are other boys who like you, they will probably be scared by you and dare not say it out loud."

Qi Xia nodded. Perhaps his answer satisfied her, and she smiled.

"If that's really the case, then it's the best. If they don't dare to come just because they're afraid of what I'll say, then their feelings aren't that deep. Besides, being able to love and hate boldly, isn't that what you boys like?"

"Besides, take you for example. I tell you so many times every day, but you never ignore me. But you still make me angry every day, don't you?" After saying that, he snatched the pen from Qi Xia's hand, made a face at him and turned his head away.

"It's unfair, squad leader. When did I ever make you angry? And that's my pen. It's the only pen I brought with me."

"How dare you say that? I don't know what happened last night... Humph, what do you mean your pen? It's mine now!"

The monitor stuck out her tongue at him. Qi Xia found her little girl-like behavior a little funny. He felt that it was not just him. The monitor also seemed to have changed a little compared to his memory. She became more lively and more like a 17-year-old girl in the prime of her life, if you ignore her outfit.

"Lao Xia, do you want to go surfing with me tonight? I've already made an appointment with my friends to go surfing tonight. Qiu Shuo will cover the cost. He's very rich now. He brought a lot of pocket money this week. He said that if you go, he will pay for the internet fee tonight."

Qi Xia had just finished talking to the class monitor when Lao Jia, who had been playing with other boys outside, came back.

Although the school has strict management, for adolescent boys and girls, love affairs are like bamboo shoots after spring rain and cannot be stopped. After getting used to these things, they just make a fuss for a while and everyone goes on doing what they are supposed to do as if nothing happened.

When Qi Xia heard this, he wanted to refuse immediately. He still remembered the time when his aunt had been looking for him for the whole night. But looking at Lao Jia's expectant look, he thought about it and nodded.

Youth is made up of little things like this. Going out to surf with friends is an essential part of most people's youth and a valuable experience worth cherishing and remembering.

"Okay, where are we going tonight? Or the usual place? But let me make it clear first, I can only play for a while. I can't stay up all night with you guys."

He knew the habits of Lao Jia and his group of lolers too well. Hearing what he said, he guessed that they would stay up all night. It was only a short time since the third year of high school started, and the National Day holiday was in two days. They had been eager to make some moves and had probably planned for a long time.

However, having said that, Qi Xia understood that they did not invite him because he was good at playing games. He was very bad at playing games, so bad that even the big guy "I Want to Be Your Cat" who was often his teammate called it outrageous.

Moreover, compared to the games like LOL and Pesticide that Lao Jia and the others play, Qi Xia's hobbies are a bit more niche. Although he plays those games, Qi Xia prefers to play some RTS games.

The reason why I brought Qi Xia along was simply because Qi Xia had good grades. If I were caught in an internet cafe, I could probably avoid getting scolded by just saying, “Qi Xia is here too.”

"Okay, I've already told them, see you at the usual place tonight."

Seeing Qi Xia agreed, Lao Jia smiled. He put his arm around Qi Xia's shoulders and made faces. But before he could feel happy for long, his joy turned into sorrow.

"Jia Shuai, do you want to take Qi Xia to the Internet cafe again?"

The squad leader was furious. He actually started planning in front of her so openly. This guy Jia Shuai didn't even take her seriously.

"So what? After school, it's our free time. You can arrange it however you want. Even if you're the class monitor, you can't interfere, right? Besides, Qi Xia has already agreed. Why would he let me think about it? Ouch!!!"

Lao Jia also has something to say. What happened to the squad leader?

Even if she is the class monitor, she can't control what they do after school. It's fine to give you some face in school because you are the class monitor, but do you think they have to listen to you, a small class monitor, outside of school? Don't these boys have any face?

Then, before he could finish, he was kicked hard on the toe, and it hurt so much that he almost cried.

A good man does not fight with a woman. Seeing that the squad leader seemed really angry, Jia Shuai stopped.

But he didn't understand. He usually took so many people to surf and she never said anything. But when it came to Qi Xia, the squad leader was so angry. Could it be that the squad leader was really interested in Qi Xia?

That would be interesting, but he would have to observe carefully before he could draw any conclusions.

"Qi Xia, do you want to go play with them?"

The class monitor turned her head and looked at Qi Xia. She seemed unable to understand why Qi Xia accepted Jia Shuai's invitation. In her opinion, Qi Xia had not gone out to play with Jia Shuai and the others for a long time, not to mention that now they had reached the most urgent senior year of high school.

"Well, it's almost November anyway, so it's okay to relax a little. It won't be long before the class gets tense, so let's go out and indulge ourselves for the last time. Don't worry too much, class monitor, it won't affect our grades."
