Rebirth caused a scandal, but accidentally saved Bai Yueguang

Chapter 60: The First Stage: Determining the Goal
Jiang Yun took the "microphone" that Xu Zhe'an extended to her and cooperated with his performance:

"Of course not."

She suddenly smiled and her voice stopped abruptly.

Xu Zhe'an could see that she wanted to play some mischief, so he hurriedly asked:

"Don't you miss it?"

Jiang Yun tapped her lips with her fingertips and shook her head.

"What if it is?"

"It's a simple question. There will just be a gap in your memory."

Xu Zhe'an pretended to be serious, bent down in front of Jiang Yun and half-joked:
"Aren't you sad that all the happy times with a man named Xu Zhe'an are gone?"

When Jiang Yun heard this, her eyes rolled around and she stuck out her tongue.

"Narcissism, slightly~"

When Xu Zhe'an saw her turning around to leave, he grabbed her shoulders and pulled her to his side.

"You are not allowed to leave until you explain clearly. How can you talk to me like that?"

"Oh, I can't play with you like this."

Jiang Yun, who was under control, said coquettishly that she was really embarrassed to be too intimate with Xu Zhe'an at the entrance of the community, but she had little strength and there was nothing she could do.

After struggling slightly, he muttered softly:

"It was obviously you who brought the conversation over there. Of course I couldn't have forgotten. Who knew you wouldn't continue what I said? It's all your fault, all your fault, stupid Xu Zhe'an."

Her tone gradually became resentful, and she wanted to clear herself of the issue.

Xu Zhe'an didn't buy it. He grabbed her hand that was poking his chest and smiled contemptuously.

"What if I add another rule: you are not allowed to hug me again until you agree?"

"..."

"..."

Jiang Yun was speechless.

After reviewing every night, she would snuggle in Xu Zhe'an's arms when Zhong Yuan and Xu Weishi were not home. This was a must.

"You, you can't do this. Threatening others is too much."

She didn't have much strength, but that didn't stop her from wanting to refute Xu Zhe'an.

"So? I'm not threatening you. This is called negotiation. What do you think, Sister Yun?"

Xu Zhe'an acted indifferent.

"How can we discuss it like this..."

Jiang Yun pouted, secretly scolding in her heart:
Who made the person who bullied me called Xu Zhe'an? You annoying guy, I will learn from you in the future.

After calming down and smiling again, he explained to Xu Zhe'an who was waiting for his answer:

"Let me say it again. What I wanted to say is that it's impossible not to miss you. Because of you, it's unforgettable and always worth remembering."

"There's a price to pay for being naughty."

Xu Zhe'an said proudly.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xu, can we go upstairs now?"

Jiang Yun turned sideways and pointed towards the stairs.

It was only a few steps away, but I stayed outside for more than ten minutes.

Xu Zhe'an was satisfied and pulled Jiang Yun's ponytail.

"Come back. I'll tell you something after dinner."

"Hmph, get ready to eat some vegetable porridge."

Jiang Yun made a face and ran towards the elevator, while turning back and waving to Xu Zhe'an.

Obviously, you can't mess with the person who cooks.

But Xu Zhe'an was not worried, after all, Jiang Yun only talked about it every time.

He stood there, took out the key and dangled it on his finger.

Jiang Yun ignored his actions and got into the elevator on her own.

Seeing that she was becoming more and more clever, Xu Zhe'an was quite pleased.

After returning home, he did not help in the kitchen as usual. Instead, after getting Jiang Yun's permission, he went to her room and put away all the books he brought back.

The review materials that will be needed for the next two days have been taken out. He has always chosen to keep textbooks and the like since he was a child.

In elementary school, I like to draw all kinds of things on my textbooks to preserve my childish innocence. In junior high school, I like to write some idioms or wise sayings on my textbooks, which I also have to keep.

The high school books were different. They were filled with memories of Jiang Yun. Sometimes when he asked questions in class, he would just write them down in the book, and he wrote Jiang Yun's name a lot.

Looking back now, I really don’t feel anything, but one day when I’m cleaning the house and I feel like opening it, this memory will be magnified and become very precious.

After all, human memory is always limited. Even if it is very good, people will still forget some things, so there needs to be a trigger switch for the details.

After finishing all this, he took a quick look around the room. It was much tidier than when he lived there. Except for a few dolls on the bedside, the positions of other things had not changed.

He went out reluctantly only after hearing Jiang Yun calling him to eat.

But this time it was indeed different from what I expected. There was really only a bowl of porridge on the table.

Xu Zhe'an slapped his forehead, regretting that he had spoken too early.

Jiang Yun didn't take off her apron and sat down.

"Eat, don't you have something else to say? Now's a good time to say it."

Seeing that Xu Zhe'an was taking a long time to sit down, she asked.

"Sister Yun, I have a suggestion."

After Xu Zhe'an sat down, he saw the green leaves in the bowl and spoke in a calm tone.

"Want to eat meat? No, there's a lot of fun downstairs."

After Jiang Yun finished speaking, she blew gently on the porridge in the bowl. Although her face was expressionless, she was actually ecstatic inside.

"We can do without the meat, but can we eat something dry? If we only eat porridge in the afternoon, we'll starve to death at night."

Xu Zhe'an was helpless.

"Say a few nice words, and I'll consider your request."

Jiang Yun's eyes were filled with smiles, and the word "satisfied" could no longer be used to describe her expression.

She knew Xu Zhe'an's appetite very well. He couldn't eat other people's food outside, so she could naturally retaliate by cooking for him.

Hearing this, Xu Zhe'an hurriedly sat next to her.

"Sister Yun is kind and beautiful..."

"Stop, stop, stop. I don't want to hear this."

Jiang Yun put down her chopsticks and faced Xu Zhe'an.

"Well, I'll ask you a few questions, and if you tell me what's really in your heart, I'll cook you a few dishes if I'm satisfied."

"That's totally ok, I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

Xu Zhe'an nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yun raised a finger and smiled evilly.

"First, do I look good?"

"Of course she's beautiful. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also kind-hearted."

Xu Zhe'an answered firmly.

Jiang Yun's smile faded slightly, and she raised another finger.

"Second, do you think I'm clingy?"

Xu Zhe'an noticed the change in her expression and couldn't help but become cautious.

Under normal circumstances, the answer would definitely be that he is clingy. Except for the time when he goes to bed, goes to the toilet and takes a bath, he is almost never out of sight.

So he denied it again and again:

"No, not at all."

At this time, Jiang Yun's smile completely disappeared and she raised her third finger.

"The third and last question is, when did you start to like Jiang Yun?" Well... it's a bit complicated.

Xu Zhe'an didn't dare to stay too long, so he simply defined himself as love at first sight.

"First sight, August 2010, 8."

"Tsk~ I don't believe it."

Jiang Yun acted proudly, slowly stood up, and patted Xu Zhe'an on the back.

"Little liar."

After saying that, she walked towards the kitchen.

Xu Zhe'an didn't say much. Just when he was about to go in to help her, she came out with the dishes.

"Sister Yun, you are the liar."

I took the things from her hands, a pot of fried crispy pork and a plate of boiled shrimps.

"La la la, I don't want to hear it."

Jiang Yun shook her head happily, not wanting to admit it at all.

He turned to Xu Zhe'an and said:

"Eat quickly, or it'll get cold. If someone bullies me again, you should understand, right?"

"Oh, I must learn how to cook during the summer vacation."

Xu Zhe'an sighed, but the food was really delicious.

His hunger relieved, he stopped talking and ate heartily.

Anyway, I won't teach you. Next time, I'll cook by myself and lock the door. Let's see what you can do, hehe~
Jiang Yun looked at Xu Zhe'an and muttered to herself, this is her unique secret technique.

Now that we have finally found a method that can rival his, we naturally won't let him learn it easily.

It was not even 7 o'clock when they finished their meal, and the two of them lay lazily on the balcony, admiring the sunset in the sky.

There are still more than three days until the 7th. Starting from today, all classrooms in No. Middle School will be closed, and you can stay at home for the remaining few days.

Anyway, it's good news for both of them.

Many things that happened during this period caused significant changes in the mentality of the two people.

The college entrance examination, which I used to care about the most, is no longer that important to me after spending nearly a month together.

In the past, I was afraid that if I applied to a different school, I would not have the chance to meet again in college, and I was afraid of missing out and causing regrets, so Xu Zhe'an proposed the "four-year agreement", but winning or losing is just an excuse. What I really want is to be able to walk with Jiang Yun.

Looking at it now, it is no longer important.

And the gains are enormous, both in terms of achievements and emotions, compared with the previous life, it is simply heaven and earth.

As the sky darkened, Jiang Yun sat on the recliner and asked with a little worry:

"Xu Zhe'an, have you really decided to stay in Jiangcheng?"

"It all depends on your opinion. If you want to go to another province, as long as the difference between us is not too big, then go ahead."

Xu Zhe'an had no particular preference for where to study; Jiangcheng was the best. Jiangda's high ranking and proximity to home were all advantages.

Besides, after all, there is a lifetime of knowledge accumulation, so finding a new way to make a living is not a problem.

Jiang Yun looked solemn and advised:

"Why don't you think about this carefully? If I don't have a high enough score to get into Tsinghua University, but you do, I still hope you can go there."

She initially decided to go to Jiangda because she wanted to stay at home with her parents, and Xu Zhe'an's scores were never as high as hers.

But now the situation has changed and her biggest worry has been resolved, so she has to think from Xu Zhe'an's perspective.

"Well, you have a point."

Xu Zhe'an pretended to think and slowly moved closer to Jiang Yun.

While she was lost in thought, he picked her up and teased her:

"I've made up my mind. Let's go to Jiangda. How wonderful would it be if we could become a perfect couple?"

"I'm telling you something serious. Tsinghua University is a place that many people dream of attending."

Jiang Yun squeezed Xu Zhe'an's chin in dissatisfaction, and said softly:

"If I don't pass the exam, I can still go to the same city. You can pursue something a little bit, okay?"

"Yes, I am pursuing her. But someone won't agree."

Xu Zhe'an had thought about the future plan as early as the night Jiang Yun expressed her feelings. His university was in Jiangcheng, so he could go home every week to spend time with Zhong Yuan and Xu Weishi, or he could go to Jiang Yun's house and take care of it without being disturbed by others.

"Didn't I say it was quick? Can you be a little patient? Besides...what kind of pursuit am I?"

Jiang Yun spoke a little unconfidently. In her eyes, she should not be a stumbling block that prevents Xu Zhe'an from moving towards a better path. As long as he can still like her, it is enough.

"Don't underestimate yourself. If it weren't for our teacher Jiang, I would have become the laughing stock of Experimental Class 1, going from second to last. How amazing do you think you are?"

Xu Zhe'an was always grateful for this. In just two days, he was given a comprehensive review, which he then consolidated and ultimately became the top scorer.

"Read a book for a while. I can't explain it to you. I'll confirm it after the exam. And don't mention this matter. It's obvious that you lied to me."

Jiang Yun puffed up her cheeks and pinched Xu Zhe'an's face angrily.

"Okay, okay, I won't mention it. I'll keep it in my heart."

Xu Zhe'an put Jiang Yun down and then took out the review materials.

If you are not 100% sure about something, you have to keep doing it.

It wasn't just the two of them who were busy. There were also families with high school seniors on the surrounding floors and in the distance who couldn't be seen. They were all checking for omissions and filling in the gaps so that their three years of hard work wouldn't go to waste.

At nine o'clock, Xu Weishi returned home alone, packed a few clothes and hurried out.

Because Zhong Yuan's original night shift was scheduled for the two days of the college entrance examination, she wanted to pick up Jiang Yun and Xu Zhe'an who were leaving the examination room at noon and in the afternoon.

So she switched places with her colleagues, and Xu Weishi would often go to the lounge to accompany her.

Xu Zhe'an was influenced by them, and in principle he treated Jiang Yun with affection, but his specific actions were mostly to make her laugh.

An unknown amount of time passed before Jiang Yun finished a test paper and glanced at the time. It was already ten o'clock. She lay on the table and carefully looked at Xu Zhe'an who was reading the materials.

He also noticed the somewhat fiery gaze and stopped what he was doing.

"Student Jiang Yun, you have to pay to peek. I'm not ordinary."

"Tsk, I'll just see. I'll give you whatever you want."

Jiang Yun replied nonchalantly.

"Then you'll probably have to sacrifice your whole life. Do you know what it means to be ruined by a single glance?"

Xu Zhe'an tore off a small piece of draft paper, rolled it into a circle while speaking, and then put it on Jiang Yun's fingers.

"you dare!"

Jiang Yun reacted quickly. She sat up straight, retracted her hands and put them behind her back, and looked at Xu Zhe'an with wide eyes.

"Sister Yun, are you not going to take responsibility? Tsk tsk."

Xu Zhe'an smacked his lips and shook his head.

Jiang Yun retorted sharply:

"I have my own way, and I don't approve of you doing this."

If such a day ever came, she would definitely be happy. But now, even if it was just a joke, she couldn't take it seriously. Since many things have a sequence, there must be a reason for it.

"If you don't agree this time, then you won't be able to agree next time."

Seeing Jiang Yun being so serious, Xu Zhe'an gave her a brief instruction and prepared to stand up and stretch his limbs.

But just as he stood up, Jiang Yun's voice sounded again behind him.

"Did you forget something?"

"I think so."

Xu Zhe'an turned around and saw Jiang Yun with her arms open.

Despite the hot weather, her little wish must be fulfilled. Sometimes she needs to be held horizontally, sometimes standing, it all depends on her thoughts.

"You said you had something to say this afternoon, why haven't you said anything yet?"

"There is something."

After hearing Jiang Yun's reminder, Xu Zhe'an remembered that he had analyzed the reasons again after returning home yesterday, and this time he had some guesses.

"Is there anyone else in your hometown?"
