Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 44 [044] I think he did the right thing

Xu Jinhuan was a little surprised: "Teacher Zhuang has heard of my name?"

"I've heard it, I've heard it."

Zhuang Cheng'an's expression was a little subtle, and he said with a smile: "Okay, it's okay, you can go back quickly."

"Okay, goodbye, Teacher Zhuang."

Xu Jinhuan instinctively felt that it must be related to Chen Xingzhu. There were too many people around and it was not easy to ask too many questions, so he just said goodbye and left.

He went upstairs and returned to Class 11, and sure enough, he saw Teacher Fu handing out admission tickets in the classroom. Since it was not a formal exam, the so-called admission ticket was just a printed piece of paper with the name, classroom and seat number written on it.

Xu Jinhuan's admission ticket has been sent out. He is very lucky and is ranked No. 7 in Class 9, Grade 12.

"You are actually in Chen Xingzhu's class?"

"Shit luck!"

"It's useless. Chen Xingzhu won't be in their class."

Xie Zhiqiang and the others were envious at first, and then they began to gloat, because the probability of Xu Jinhuan passing the exam in this class was too low. Being assigned to Class 9 basically eliminated the possibility of him being in the same examination room as Chen Xingzhu.

Of course, the probability of this in itself is very low.

"Keep your admission ticket safe, don't lose it, and continue studying."

When the bell rang, Fu Qingxuan walked around the classroom twice, suddenly covered her mouth, walked out of the classroom quickly, and stood in the corridor for a long time.

"what happened?"

"Teacher Fu seems to be feeling unwell..."

Several students in the front row were whispering to each other, then Ruan Jingqiu stood up, walked to Fu Qingxuan, and asked something in a low voice.

Fu Qingxuan smiled and shook her head, probably to say that it was okay. She quickly asked Ruan Jingqiu to go back to the classroom and left afterwards.

The students in the class didn't care much and were all reading and reviewing.

After evening self-study, Xu Jinhuan went to the playground to run again. This time, Xie Zhiqiang did not follow him and went straight home.

The next afternoon before class, Xu Jinhuan returned to Class 9, returned his geography notes to Chen Xingzhu, and borrowed her history notes. Instead of leaving as he had done before, he asked her, "Which exam room are you in?"

Chen Xingzhu hesitated slightly and replied softly, "Class 10, Grade 12."

"That's next door?"

Xu Jinhuan wasn't disappointed. This was already a relatively good result. He smiled and said, "What a coincidence? I'm in Class 9."

"Are you in our class?"

Zhou Wei asked in surprise, "Isn't this too coincidental?"

"It's such a coincidence, isn't it?"

Xu Jinhuan had been coming over quite often recently, and the girls were pretty familiar with him. Zhu Xinyao turned around and joked, "Xu Jinhuan should have been so happy to see him assigned to Class 9, but he didn't expect Xingzhu to be assigned to another class..."

Hu Yingxin also laughed and said, "The weather is not good!"

“What a pity!”

Xu Jinhuan smiled at Chen Xingzhu and said, "I was thinking that if you have any questions, you can copy my test paper."

???

Not only Zhou Wei and the others, but also the students who were secretly watching nearby couldn't help but widen their eyes and then laughed out loud.

"You are so vicious. You want to kill Xingzhu, right?"

Zhou Wei joked with a smile, and laughed non-stop with Zhu Xinyao and Hu Yingxin. They had heard a lot of news during this period, and knew that Xu Jinhuan had very poor grades and was at the bottom of the class.

If it weren't for Xu Jinhuan's recent hard work, they would have advised Chen Xingzhu to think carefully about this matter.

Chen Xingzhu looked at them expressionlessly, feeling a little helpless. Then when she looked at Xu Jinhuan again, a hint of apology appeared in her clear and bright eyes.

"Isn't this a good thing for you? Let's go."

Xu Jinhuan naturally didn't care. He made another joke, said goodbye, and left Class 9.

The students in Class 9 were no longer surprised by this. Some had become numb while others were still paying attention. However, they were no longer as shocked and discussing it as they were at the beginning. They soon buried their heads in reviewing.

By Thursday night, Xu Jinhuan had basically reviewed the knowledge points of each subject. The next day, Friday the 20th, he had breakfast at home and went to the examination classroom to formally prepare for the midterm exam.

Seat No. 7 happened to be behind Chen Xingzhu. One could clearly see the seat No. 8 sign on the upper right corner of her seat and the book and exercises that she had not taken away in the hole in the desk.

The girl sitting in her seat was plainly dressed and looked ordinary. She seemed to recognize Xu Jinhuan and looked at him several times before suddenly lowering her voice and saying, "Give me a hundred yuan and I'll change seats with you."

Xu Jinhuan wondered if there was something wrong with her brain.

The girl whispered, "Don't worry, the seat numbers aren't written on the test paper, so it won't matter if we swap... This is Chen Xingzhu's seat, you know that, right?"

Xu Jinhuan asked: "I know, then what?"

"This may be the closest chance you have to Chen Xingzhu in this life."

The girl said seriously, "If you miss this opportunity, she may always be an unreachable star, and there will be no chance to get close to her again."

The boy at the table next to her heard the conversation and came over to whisper, "Fifty yuan, I'll trade with you."

"I won't trade with you for even a hundred."

The girl at Chen Xingzhu's table rolled her eyes at the boy. "Anyone who takes the initiative to change seats definitely has bad intentions... A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. I won't trade with you."

"Gu Siying, are you sick?"

The boy said very depressedly, "Why should he pay it back and not trade with me?"

"He is Xu Jinhuan, are you?"

A girl named Gu Siying discriminated against him with a clear conscience. "If I sell the seat to him, Chen Xingzhu won't be angry even if she knows. But if I sell the seat to you, Chen Xingzhu probably won't dare to sit there again!"

"Xu Jinhuan?"

The boy had obviously heard of this name before, and seemed to agree with the reason for his discrimination. He turned around and looked at Xu Jinhuan twice, and said nothing more.

Xu Jinhuan asked with amusement, "Then you just said this might be the closest chance I have to Chen Xingzhu in this life?"

"If I don't tell you this, will you buy it?"

Gu Siying snorted and said, "For Chen Xingzhu's sake, I'll give you a discount and sell it to you for fifty yuan...how about that?"

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Not interested."

"whispering sound!"

Seeing that he was unmoved, Gu Siying rolled her eyes and ignored him.

Two invigilators came in quickly, one of whom was Class 9's head teacher, Zhuang Cheng'an. Before handing out the test papers, he glanced at Xu Jinhuan several times.

In the morning, I studied Chinese and physics. Chinese was Xu Jinhuan's strong subject, so I wrote smoothly all the way. When it came to the composition, the topic was:
Please write an essay about your perception of time. You can choose your own title, with no restrictions on genre, and the essay should be no less than 800 words.

Xu Jinhuan thought for a while and wrote down the title of his composition: "The Past Has Not Gone, the Future Has Come"

He had long passed the stage of simply showing off his writing skills and was very clear that the most important thing for an essay is the theme. He combined thoughts about time with "hard work", quoted extensively from stories of ancient and modern figures, and then applied his own experience of not studying hard in the past and how time gave the answer on his transcript, showing his determination to change and study hard from now on.

After finishing the composition, there was still more than half an hour left. Xu Jinhuan looked up and found that Gu Siying at the table in front of him seemed to have finished the test paper long ago and was checking it.

"Jingle Bell"

After handing in the papers, many students left the classroom to go to the toilet. Xu Jinhuan also went there. On the way, he met a few classmates and chatted with them for a while. He came back soon and unexpectedly found that many people were gathered around Chen Xingzhu's desk.

To be precise, they were surrounding Gu Siying, as if they were looking for the answer from her.

"This girl who's a bit greedy seems to have good grades..."

Xu Jinhuan muttered in his heart, and at the same time he noticed that Zhuang Cheng'an cared very much about Gu Siying. When he was strolling around during the exam, he stopped beside Gu Siying many times.

"Could this Gu Siying be Chen Xingzhu's classmate?"

After the physics exam, Xu Jinhuan's guess was soon confirmed, because after leaving the exam room, he saw Chen Xingzhu in the corridor, and Gu Siying went straight to greet him.

"Chen Xingzhu!"

Gu Siying greeted Chen Xingzhu in a clear voice, walked up to her and stood shoulder to shoulder with her, then whispered something, probably mentioning Xu Jinhuan. Chen Xingzhu turned around and looked at her.

Xu Jinhuan made eye contact with her and hurried over. He heard Gu Siying say, "Let me tell you, this Xu Jinhuan isn't sincere at all. I asked him to give me a hundred yuan to trade seats with him, but he refused without a second thought. I even lowered the price to fifty, but he still refused... Don't you think he's being too much?"

Chen Xingzhu looked at her for several seconds, as if to confirm whether she was joking. He frowned and said nothing.

"He's either very poor or very stingy!"

Gu Siying continued to ramble, "I'm telling you, don't let him fool you! It's useless for a man to just like you. He needs money or a future... Likes and such are unreliable... If he's not even willing to spend money on you, do you think he really likes you?"

Xu Jinhuan originally thought that Gu Siying was joking. After all, she had just said, "A gentleman loves money but earns it in a proper way." But as he listened, he couldn't help but frown.

These sisters seem to be serious!

He didn't think Chen Xingzhu would be influenced by Gu Siying, but he also didn't want Gu Siying to be a troublemaker here. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Chen Xingzhu say, "I think he did the right thing."
