What's wrong with me?

But, first of all, one thing that can be confirmed is that he has indeed returned, and the years in college and the life with Yue Ran after work are absolutely real and definitely not a pipe dream.

Secondly, he and Yue Ran did commit suicide together. He still remembers vividly the feeling of his body being torn apart by the gas explosion, as if he had walked through the gates of hell.

Well, he was lucky enough to get another chance. What about Yue Ran? Did she come back with him, or did she...

Qi Xia's chest suddenly tightened, and he quickly wanted to take out his cell phone and dial the number that he had already memorized.

But when his hands were in his pockets, he suddenly remembered that he had returned to the past. If Yue Ran had not come back with him, she probably wouldn't recognize him now. After all, he had only known Yue Ran during his freshman year.

Moreover, she couldn't be sure whether Yue Ran was currently using that number. Even if the call went through, it would most likely be regarded as a hateful harassment call.

What's more...if Yue Ran still doesn't recognize him now, then he shouldn't interfere in her life anymore...

What he always wanted to see was the strong and excellent Yue Ran, not the crazy, hysterical, scary and strange Su Yue Ran in his last memory.

Usually Yue Ran was well-behaved and cute like a little lamb in front of him. She would listen to him no matter what. Even when the couple was doing something loving, no matter what he wanted her to wear or what kind of postures she wanted to try, she would agree obediently even if she was shy.

He couldn't figure out why Yue Ran became like that, but he was certain that the reason why Yue Ran became like that was definitely related to him.

After expelling the air from his lungs and taking a long breath, Qi Xia withdrew his hand.

God gave him a second chance, maybe he wanted him to correct his past mistakes?

She deserved better and deserved better, so he decided to put the matter aside for now and let it run its course.

If he and she are really destined to be together, they will definitely meet again in the future. By then, it will not be too late for him to slowly decide whether to be a passing visitor in her life or to repeat the same mistakes.

"Okay, this class ends here. In the afternoon, please hand in the test papers you gave me earlier so that I can check them. Lu Yuwei, please collect them for me before the first class this afternoon and bring them to me."

Amidst the wailing, Lao Li assigned the tasks and walked out of the classroom with the handouts.

The school had just started at this time, and the students in the class had not had time to experience the hardships of senior year, so as soon as the get out of class was over, some noisy students started chattering together. If it were in the later stages, they would probably have to take advantage of the breaks to make up for their pitiful sleep time.

Qi Xia gathered his chaotic thoughts because Lao Jia beside him poked his arm again.

"What's wrong with you, Lao Xia? You're not quite right today. Not only did you fall asleep during class, you even looked in the mirror during class. This doesn't fit your image at all."

Qi Xia glanced at Jia Shuai, he was a little dazed at this moment.

Lao Jia has been his playmate for six years from junior high school to high school. Qi Xia has a very good relationship with him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a pair of close friends.

Lao Jia's grades were not very good, and he was always at the bottom of the class in exams. So he had heard Lao Li ask Qi Xia to teach him more than once.

But, how should I put it, some people may not be born to be good at learning.

In Qi Xia's memory, Lao Jia, whose grades did not improve in the end, chose to take the art exam and chose the media major with a relatively low score line. Later, his results in the college entrance examination were only mediocre, and he was admitted to a not-so-famous second-tier university.

But in life, sometimes just because you go to a better university doesn’t mean you will be happier than others.

Although Lao Jia was not very good at studying and encountered even more difficulties in finding a job after graduation than him, he was lucky enough to find a girlfriend with whom he loves very much.

That was a classmate that Lao Jia knew in college. Qi Xia was also fortunate enough to meet her. Although she was not very pretty, she was indeed a good girl and a good match for her.

They had been working diligently together since graduating from college, and their life was pretty decent. Even before Qi Xia and Yue Ran decided to get married, Lao Jia had already married her. When he and Yue Ran went to Lao Jia's wedding together, he could see that Lao Jia was really happy.

He remembered that at that time, Lao Jia was also urging him to quickly set a date with Yue Ran, and even said that he would attend his wedding in the future. Unfortunately, all this has become a thing of the past.

Qi Xia thought about it and had to think about how to answer.

After struggling in society for several years, he has forgotten how he communicated with others in high school.

"Yes, Qi Xia, what's wrong with you? Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

Chapter 9 Comfort

"Yes, Qi Xia, what's wrong with you? Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

Before Qi Xia could say anything, a worried voice came from his ear again. This pleasant voice carried a hint of concern. Qi Xia turned his head and looked at the seat in front of him, at his class monitor for three years in high school, Lu Yuwei.

The girl in front of him was looking at him. She had thick, shiny black hair, an oval face, and a pair of long, cute eyebrows.

The soft hair was tied into a cute ponytail and draped behind her. The pair of light gray eyes looking at Qi Xia seemed to be filled with starlight, bright and ethereal.

It's a pity, perhaps because she doesn't pay enough attention to dressing up, while other girls are trying their best to dress themselves up, she still wears that somewhat rustic school uniform all year round. Coupled with the pair of large old-fashioned black-framed glasses on her nose, the girl's temperament and appearance are greatly reduced, and she becomes a little like everyone else.

This is Qi Xia’s class monitor. From the first year of high school until graduation, he and she sat in front and behind each other.

The class monitor is a very good girl. Although her usual attire is a little unsatisfactory, she is a very dedicated and caring class monitor who will help everyone solve problems.

The squad leader tilted his head and looked at him, causing Qi Xia to feel some indescribable emotions in his heart.

When he was in high school, Qi Xia was the kind of nerd who turned a deaf ear to the world outside and focused on reading books of sages.

So throughout high school, the girls in Qi Xia's class who he could talk to were probably not even enough to count on his ten fingers, and the class monitor happened to be one of his ten fingers.

He looked at her face, and a complicated thought began to churn in his mind.

According to Lao Jia, he was actually quite popular in his high school class, but he didn't know it and didn't care. Even at the graduation party that he didn't have time to attend, there were still a few girls in his class who wanted to confess their love to him.

This is no wonder. In the words of Lao Jia and others, Qi Xia is handsome, does well in studies, is easy to talk to, and has good motor skills. In the eyes of little girls who have not seen the world, he is the standard image of a prince charming. It is hard for him not to be popular.

But Qi Xia still has few friends of the opposite sex with whom he can talk. To be honest, all this is Qi Xia's own fault.

Qi Xia was actually a very shy person in high school. To put it bluntly, he was a little introverted or socially anxious.

But for a person with some social phobia, it was really difficult for Qi Xia to take the initiative to communicate with the opposite sex at that time.

It was after he entered university that he grew a little more confident and met Yue Ran, who had a special liking for him among so many people. Otherwise, he would have been destined to be alone.

The class monitor was very nice to him. She was one of the few girls, other than his childhood sweetheart, with whom Qi Xia could make him feel comfortable when chatting. She always helped him, both in study and in daily life.

I remember one time when they went to take the qualifying exam in their second year of high school, Qi Xia accidentally forgot to bring his admission ticket.

Just when the exam was about to begin, he was anxiously walking around outside the examination room, not knowing what to do. It was the class monitor who rode her bike and took him back in time, so that he got his admission ticket and did not miss the exam. This also caused the class monitor to almost miss the exam like himself.

Qi Xia also remembered that on the eve of the college entrance examination, the class monitor once told him that he must attend the class graduation party, saying that there was something very important that he wanted to tell him at the party.

Unfortunately, he broke his promise and did not go to the graduation party that night.

Although Qi Xia had to stay home to take care of his aunt who caught a cold and had a fever that day and therefore was unable to go, but later when he heard from Lao Jia that the squad leader cried at the party because he did not come, he always felt guilty towards the squad leader who had helped him for three years.

He looked at the girl in front of him, feeling a little nostalgic but also a little strange, because all this happened too long ago for him, so long that he almost forgot how he got along with the class monitor.

He looked at her delicate eyebrows, but suddenly another girl came to his mind, because she, like the class monitor, was a girl who left a strong mark in his short three years of high school life. That was his childhood sweetheart, Jiang Xinyao, who had been attending the same school as him since elementary school and lived in the same community.

Now that Qi Xia thinks back, he has actually seen quite a few beautiful girls. There are quite a few girls around him who score a full 10 points, or even 10 or 9 points.

Including but not limited to his aunt, Yue Ran, the class monitor after he took off his disguise, and the young lady named Xia who transferred to the next class in his second year of high school. His childhood sweetheart Jiang Xinyao is also a top-notch beauty, one in a million.

When it comes to Jiang Xinyao, we have to mention the ill-fated relationship between him and her.

In Qi Xia's memory, Jiang Xinyao had known him since the fourth grade of elementary school. Their homes were located on the upper and lower floors of the same apartment building, so it was no exaggeration to say that they were childhood sweethearts.

He and she have a very good relationship. When they were young, they went to school together every day. Except for the time when they were in different classes and could not be together, most of the time she and he would spend time together. If it were not for what happened later, it can be said that Qi Xia had won at the starting line since she was a child.

But as for childhood sweethearts, you know, when they grow up a little and understand the differences between men and women, problems start to arise.

I remember that she confessed her love to him when she was in the first year of high school. Since she was his childhood sweetheart, he did have a good impression of her, so he agreed.

That period of time was indeed magical for Qi Xia. Thinking back on it now, it still seems a little bit unreal, because Qi Xia really didn't expect that he would get rid of the ranks of single dogs so quickly.

As for him and her, except for the last step, they did almost everything like holding hands and kissing, and most of the time she was the one who took the initiative.

But the good times didn't last long. Dating in high school was something that all class teachers hated. It was okay for someone like Qi Xia who had good grades, but Jiang Xinyao's grades were only above average in the class. When her class teacher found out, she was naturally scolded.

Her class teacher was also very responsible. Because he was worried about affecting Jiang Xinyao's mentality, he did not inform her parents. Instead, he just found Qi Xia's class teacher and communicated with Lao Li on how to solve the matter.

The school rules at the time prohibited premature love, so naturally, Qi Xia and Jiang Xinyao were under a lot of pressure.

Although Lao Li taught him that he should focus on studying and that he could wait until after graduating from high school to have a romantic relationship, Qi Xia still resolutely decided to continue committing crimes under pressure, and at most restrain himself a little to avoid being discovered.

What happened next can probably be guessed. Qi Xia withstood the pressure, but Jiang Xinyao did not. She said that it was Qi Xia who initiated the relationship with her, and she later broke up with him in front of their class teacher.

Qi Xia was the type of person who was very serious and thin-skinned, and he was still in the first year of high school and didn't know much, so he immediately felt betrayed. From the second semester of his second year of high school until now his third year of high school, he had no contact with her.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you talking? Did something happen to you, Qi Xia?"

Seeing Qi Xia not saying anything and just staring at her face, the class monitor in front of her couldn't help but blush and then started to scold her.

Qi Xia shook his head slightly.

"It's nothing, I just stayed up a little late last night, thank you for your concern, monitor."

Qi Xia understood that if he was in high school, he would definitely not say this at this time, but looking at the girl who cared about him and the good friends beside him, Qi Xia felt as if a warm current was flowing through his heart, making him feel very comfortable.

Chapter 10 That Year

In most people's eyes, college and high school are the two most beautiful ages in life.

Compared to the atmosphere of college, which is close to a small society, although high school students have begun to gradually become sensible, they still retain a trace of their childhood innocence.

Therefore, they can still say whatever they want in front of their friends, and there are not too many twists and turns and intrigues between them that are exhausting.

Being stared at by Qi Xia's sincere gaze, Lu Yuwei's face immediately turned red.

She didn't expect Qi Xia to be so straightforward. If he wanted to thank her, then he should just thank her. Why was he staring at her like that? It made her a little scared!

As high school students, they all know that even if they are truly grateful in their hearts, they have to act as if they don't care on the outside. How can they be as straightforward and outspoken as Qi Xia is now?

"No, you're welcome... I'm just worried that you might run into trouble and it might affect your studies. If that happens, I won't be able to explain to the homeroom teacher."

The girl's expression was like that of a cat that was startled by its owner's sudden touch. Her eyes behind the black-framed lenses were slightly evasive, and she turned her face away, blushing and keeping silent.

I have to say that the squad leader is indeed a high-quality potential stock with great hidden potential.

With this school uniform that was worn to the point of being white, throughout the three years of high school, no boy actually discovered the class monitor's true face hidden beneath this rustic attire!

Moreover, she not only deceived the restless teenage boys who wanted to be around girls all day long, but even the teachers were fooled by her, not to mention guys like Qi Xia who did nothing but eat and sleep and try to improve his grades.

In Qi Xia’s memory, the first time he saw the class monitor’s true face under disguise was during the college entrance examination.

The weather was very hot that day. When the squad leader appeared on the bus wearing a bright and youthful dress and finally no longer wearing the old-fashioned black-framed glasses, but with some light makeup on, everyone thought that it was some beautiful girl who accidentally got on the wrong bus. Even Old Li, who was taking the exam, didn't recognize her at first.

After she revealed her identity, which made everyone gasp, and said that she had made her own insignificant contribution to global warming, many people immediately beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting why they had never thought of taking advantage of the class monitor in the past three years.

Of course, so much time has passed, and there may have been a little bit of Qi Xia's personal subjectivity and exaggeration in this description, but later on, there were indeed many boys who ran to confess their love to the class monitor, which was enough to show the class monitor's true charm.

It’s the college entrance examination, and everyone is letting themselves go. No one wants to leave any regrets in their youth.

Unfortunately, on the night when the college entrance examination ended, there was not one more enviable couple in the world, but many more people who could not sleep at night.

Because the class monitor didn't agree to any of their confessions - she said she already had someone she liked.

The class monitor had very good grades, but she was a little weak in math, so Mr. Li asked Qi Xia, a tool, to help her more. As a result, the class monitor became the best girl in the class with Qi Xia.

It's a pity that the class monitor didn't perform well in the college entrance examination. Compared with Qi Xia, she went to a relatively inferior but still good university. At the beginning of college, he and she still kept in touch. When he started dating Yue Ran, she gradually lost contact.

I heard that the class monitor returned here after graduation and became a math teacher in the high school they attended. As for what happened later, Qi Xia didn't know.

"I see."

Qi Xia nodded. The squad leader was always so arrogant and strange. In his memory, she had always been like this. She obviously cared about him, but she had to bring up Lao Li to explain the legitimacy of her behavior.

If the class monitor didn't actually care about all the classmates, he might have thought that the class monitor had a special liking for him.

"That's awesome, Old Xia."

Old Jia, who was standing by, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw Qi Xia's indifferent look. He quietly gave Qi Xia a thumbs up under the table where only the two of them could see.

Of course, he didn't do this for any other strange purpose. He was just admiring Qi Xia for being able to "tame" the tigress recognized by the boys in the class. He could actually see her blushing face now. You haven't seen her terrifying look like a death-chasing ghost when she collects homework!

What's more, Mr. Xia already has Miss Jiang. Although their school is not idle enough to make a list of campus beauties and campus handsome men, she is definitely one of the belle of the class.

Although they broke up, it was said that Miss Jiang was showing signs of rekindling her relationship with Old Xia. How could she still be interested in a tigress like the monitor?

"Yeah, Old Xia, what's wrong with you? It can't be because of Jiang Xinyao, right? I heard that Miss Jiang said she wants to find you to rekindle the old relationship, are you really not going to consider it?"

Lao Jia was knocking on the table, but before he could finish his words, his leg was kicked hard under the table.

"Ouch~!!!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, Jia Shuai? Do you know that our school does not allow premature love? You are misleading Qi Xia. You are his good friend after all."

See, that’s what a tigress is like!

Using his own body to prove himself to everyone, Jia Shuai screamed in pain and quickly hugged his legs.

The squad leader didn't hold back at all when he kicked Jia Shuai, and it hurt so much that he almost cried.

Although Qi Xia and the squad leader had a very good relationship, and there were even rumors that the squad leader liked Qi Xia, he didn't believe that Qi Xia would fall for such a tigress.

Compared to this stinky woman who has no looks and such a bad temper, isn't a pretty and gentle girl like Miss Jiang more attractive?

Watching the interaction with his former companions, Qi Xia, who was originally a little disheartened, felt warmer and warmer in his heart. It was as if something he had lost was found back bit by bit.
