Quick Wear: Reversing Life

When the school started in September, Cheng Hao, who was promoted to the second year of high school, got his wish and moved into the student dormitory of Seth and lived in the same room with Lin Yusheng.

Seth's student dormitories are double-occupancy, fully equipped with basic amenities and private bathrooms. Beds are made by a dedicated person, and all daily necessities are provided. You just need to pick up your bags and move in. The only downside is that the rooms are a bit small.

However, Cheng Hao could still accept it. On the first day of school, he asked the family driver to help move the large and small bags of things to the fourth floor.

Liu Xinyan also came to see it that day. The apartment-style dormitory has an elevator, and the rooms are clean and tidy. It is much more spacious than the student dormitories in ordinary schools.

"Think about it carefully. You can only go home once a week if you live in the dormitory. Don't even think about sneaking out at other times."

Cheng Hao was slightly dumbfounded, thinking: Even if I live in the school dormitory, can't I still leave the campus after school?

He looked at Lin Yusheng, who nodded with a smile on his face.

Cheng Hao's eyes widened. Then why was Jiang Yu still able to tutor children?

"The time for evening self-study has also been extended. It's just right that you don't have to rush home since you live on campus. You can study more." After saying that, Liu Xinyan left.

As soon as the dormitory door closed, Cheng Hao jumped up and asked, "What?! We can't leave the campus during normal times after we stay here?"

Lin Yusheng leaned back in his chair and swung his legs. "Yeah, don't you know? Boarding students can only go home on Friday night."

"Then why can Jiang Yu——"

"She has privileges," Lin Yusheng said. "Everyone in the school knows her family is struggling, and besides, she has excellent academic performance, so she doesn't even have to attend evening self-study classes."

Cheng Hao's face flushed red, and he said dejectedly, "How can I be so close to the water? I might as well live at home!"

Lin Yusheng teased, "Isn't the weekly tutoring time enough for you to be so close to the water tower? It seems that Princess Cheng's charm is not great enough."

"She only stays at my house for two hours, and she mainly studies. I can't talk about anything else." Cheng Yu collapsed on the bed and wailed.

"Then you're done. You didn't even attract attention your entire freshman year, and now you're a senior, you don't have time to think about anything else." Lin Yusheng gloated, "After you finish the college entrance exam, there will be plenty of handsome guys in college. There will be plenty of them."

"Ahhhh—what should I do?" Cheng Hao scratched his hair anxiously.

"What should I do? Salad!"

...

Lin Yusheng's words did give Cheng Hao a slight sense of crisis. He got hold of Jiang Yu's class schedule and began to use his free time to create chance encounters with Jiang Yu at school.

After running into Cheng Hao for the 108th time this week, Jiang Yu finally couldn't help but ask at the cafeteria entrance: "Are your classes so free now?"

Cheng Hao blushed and hesitated.

The boy, who was already 1.8 meters tall, looked hesitant and shy standing in front of the slender Jiang Yu.

"Do you have anything to say?" Jiang Yu asked when he saw that he looked strange.

"No, I, uh..." Cheng Hao's speech was a little awkward, and Liu Xinyan's warning to him and Lin Yusheng's words kept replaying in his head.

In a fit of rage, I asked, "I wanted to ask which university you were planning to attend."

Jiang Yu is already in his third year of high school. During tutoring a few months ago, he saw Jiang Yu occasionally flipping through books on college applications.

Jiang Yu said, "Oh, this is what you want to ask, but why do you ask this?" She was a little confused. Don't rich kids like Cheng Hao go abroad to study directly after the college entrance examination?

Some of her classmates were preparing for the IELTS exam during self-study classes.

"Ah, I'm just asking." Cheng Hao scratched his head. "Uh, my mom asked me a few days ago which school I was going to apply to. I had no idea, so I asked you."

Jiang Yu understood: "It depends on the major you want to study and your grades. I plan to go to the law department of B University. What about you? What major do you want to study?"

As the only son of the Cheng family, Cheng Hao would probably only study business or finance.

"I should study business administration," said Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao was taught a little about management at home since he was young. Cheng Yu would occasionally take him to the company to attend meetings, and Cheng Hao learned a little about management through observation and observation, as he would eventually have to take Cheng Yu's place.

"Business administration has good prospects," Jiang Yu said. "Although I don't know much about it, your father should know a lot about it. You can go ask him."

Cheng Yu graduated from Stanford Business School with a bachelor's and master's degree. After returning to China, he first took over a small company under Ruida. Three years later, he became the executive president of Ruida Group. It was only after Mr. Cheng graduated that he took over the position of chairman.

According to his grandmother, Gao Shujun, Cheng Yu's studies never worried his parents; he was self-disciplined, rigorous, and goal-oriented. It seems Jiang Yu and his father are the same type of people.

But Cheng Hao was a little discouraged at this time.

He wanted to apply to the same university as Jiang Yu, but the score line of University B was something he could only admire from afar. Even if he could get first place in the grade at the end of the semester, he might not be able to get into University B in the college entrance examination.

Jiang Yu knew nothing about this. She smiled and said, "B University also has a business administration program. But when it comes to business administration, Tsinghua University is the best in China. As for foreign schools, Harvard Business School and London Business School are also great. Oh, and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania is also famous for its top-notch faculty."

Cheng Hao: ...

I probably won’t be able to pass any of the exams you mentioned.

Cheng Hao quickly interrupted Jiang Yu and said, "After all this talk, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal as a thank you for answering my questions."

Jiang Yu smiled: "There's no need to treat me to a meal, it's just a matter of talking, and I'm here to buy milk pudding for my deskmate." Then he walked into the cafeteria.

The milk pudding sold on the second floor of Seth Canteen is famous for its deliciousness. Even if the students are rich kids who are used to eating delicacies from land and sea, they are still happy to pay for this dessert.

Cheng Hao followed Jiang Yu: "Have you eaten? Didn't you just finish class?"

"How do you know I just finished class?" Jiang Yu asked casually.

Of course Cheng Hao didn't dare to say it was because he had been secretly following Jiang Yu.

It was lunchtime, and many students were queuing up in the cafeteria to buy food.

Some people recognized Prince Ruida, but saw him following behind a girl, and his behavior was a little strange compared to before.

"Is that Cheng Hao? Who is he talking to?" Tong Anna, who is a classmate of Cheng Hao, pulled Chang Xiner.

Chang Xiner was eating salad. After being pulled by her friend, she looked up and saw Cheng Hao queuing at the window selling milk pudding not far away.

"He also likes milk pudding?" Tong Anna bit the fork in her hand, "Is he buying it for some girl? I haven't heard that he's been close to any girl recently."

Chang Xiner said, "Maybe he just likes milk pudding."

"How is that possible? We have been in Seth for so many years and have never seen him eat once." Tong Anna said.

At this moment, she noticed that Cheng Hao was talking to a girl next to him.

"Hey, who's that girl next to you?" Tong Anna said, "She looks familiar. Is she from our grade?"

Chang Xin'er said, "Don't worry about him, let's eat."

"Oh, I'm curious. After all, I've been in the same class with him for so many years, and I've never seen him get close to any girl."

Tong Anna smiled and took out her phone to take a picture, saying, "It can't be his girlfriend, wait until I take a picture and use it to blackmail him."

...

Jiang Yu bought her own portion and was about to go back to the classroom to read. When she walked out of the cafeteria, she heard Cheng Hao calling her.

When she turned around, she saw Cheng Hao holding a box of pudding and handing it to her: "This is for you, take it for afternoon tea."

Jiang Yu subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Cheng Hao didn't give her a chance to refuse. He stuffed the money into Jiang Yu's hand and ran away.

Back in the classroom, Jiang Yu handed her the portion that belonged to his deskmate.

"Wow, so fast, isn't the cafeteria crowded?" Jiang Yu's deskmate was a girl who was quite easy to talk to. She used to dislike Qi Mingyue's style and would speak up to defend her. Jiang Yu was very grateful and was willing to help her with some small things and run errands.

“Well, there weren’t many people when I went there.”

As he said that, Jiang Yu placed the copy sent by Cheng Hao on his desk.

When her deskmate saw this, she opened her portion and casually asked, "Is the one on your table also a gift from that boy last time?" After all, she knew Jiang Yu to some extent. Although the pudding was not worth a few dollars, Jiang Yu would definitely not buy it with his own money.

Jiang Yu had shared the chocolate Cheng Hao had given her last time, so Jiang Yu nodded blankly: "Yes, how did you know?"

My deskmate said nonchalantly, "He likes you, right? Otherwise, why would he always give you these little desserts?"

Jiang Yu quickly waved his hands in denial: "No, you're overthinking it. We just interact occasionally."

Her deskmate laughed at her slowness and said, "What boy would give a heart-shaped chocolate to an ordinary friend? He must like you. And that chocolate must be handmade. Judging from the packaging, it must not be bought in China."

"I went abroad specially to bring back chocolate for you, and now I'm giving you milk pudding. If this isn't love, what is it?"

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized the frequent encounters during this period, why Cheng Hao had to live on campus, and his strange and abnormal behavior today.

Her hand holding the spoon did not move for a long time. She lowered her eyes and looked at the chewy and soft pudding in front of her for a long time without moving.

-

On the other side, Cheng Hao was humming a little tune and was in a good mood as he was about to go back to the dormitory for a nap, but he was blocked on the road.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Tong Anna, Cheng Hao raised an eyebrow and looked around. She had been close to Chang Xin'er recently, but now she didn't see Chang Xin'er.

Tong Anna shook her phone, and inside was the photo she had secretly taken in the cafeteria: Cheng Hao was tall, slightly bending over and looking at the girl next to him, with an intimate angle and posture.

"You're not secretly dating, are you?" Tong Anna said proudly: "I took a picture of it. If I post it online..."

Cheng Hao was panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down: "It's a good shot, but this is my tutor."

"Tutor?" Tong Anna was shocked and confused: "Who is it? Isn't this a student from our school?"

"He is the top scorer in the city's high school entrance examination and he always gets first place in every exam. He is qualified to be our tutor." Cheng Hao seemed to feel proud as he spoke.

Tong Anna looked at Cheng Hao with a strange expression: "Are you okay?"

I've never heard of asking classmates from the same school to be your tutor. Aren't the tutors they hire all those who have returned from overseas with master's and doctoral degrees?

"My mother invited us. Do you have any objections?" Cheng Hao was still thinking about going back to take an hour's nap. He took advantage of his height advantage and snatched the phone from Tong Anna's hand while she wasn't paying attention. He first sent the photos to himself and then completely deleted them from her phone.

"Hey - what are you doing! Give my phone back to me." Tong Anna jumped up and tried to snatch it.

After deleting the photos, Cheng Hao returned the phone to her.

"You have something to hide! Otherwise why would you delete it?" Tong Anna glared at him.

Cheng Hao shrugged. "Who knows what you'll do with my photos? To avoid trouble, it's better for me to delete them myself."

After saying that, Cheng Hao left without looking back.

When Tong Anna saw that the photos in her phone had been completely deleted, she stomped her feet in anger.

...

During this period of time, Cheng Hao gradually realized that Jiang Yu seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, just like he deliberately avoided Chang Xiner.

I originally thought that it was Tong Anna, the big mouth, who leaked the news, but I haven't heard any rumors about them in the school.

But Cheng Hao knew Jiang Yu, she was not the kind of person who would avoid people for no reason.

He wanted to question Jiang Yu, but Jiang Yu had reduced the frequency of leaving the classroom, whether after class or during lunch break. Even when they did meet, she would always avoid his gaze and not even say hello!

Not only that, she also quit her part-time job as his tutor on the grounds that she needed to focus on her studies in her senior year of high school!

When Liu Xinyan told him this, he was completely upset. He wanted to run to Jiang Yu to question him, but he couldn't even touch him. When he wanted to send a message, he remembered that Jiang Yu didn't have a smartphone, only a Nokia that he rarely turned on.

Trouble trouble trouble!

But if you want to block someone, there will naturally be a chance if you are in the same school.

So after an evening self-study get out of class at the end of September, Jiang Yu was blocked by Cheng Hao at the place he had to pass on his way back to the girls' dormitory.

There were not many girls who chose to live on campus, so Cheng Hao easily squatted down next to Jiang Yu. He grabbed Jiang Yu's hand without saying anything, walked into the woods, and came to a remote corner.

Jiang Yu was a little scared. Cheng Hao's silent and stern look was so oppressive that she couldn't even speak for a moment.

She wanted to pull her hand back, but no matter how strong she was, she couldn't match the strength of a boy. Instead, Cheng Hao's grip on her became stronger and stronger as she struggled.

Cheng Hao wanted to imprison her, so naturally he would not give her a chance to escape.

"Cheng Hao! Cheng Hao! Let me go, what are you doing?" Jiang Yu shouted, "Let go! You're holding my hand and it's hurting!"

Unfortunately, there were too few students on this road, and even with street lights, it didn't attract anyone's attention.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao did not let go of Jiang Yu's hand, but just reduced the force a little.

When he led the man to a small path, he turned around and saw Jiang Yu's face turned pale with fear, and his heart softened immediately.

But when I think of her recent avoidance, I feel even more bitter.

"I just want to ask you," Cheng Hao said, "Why did you ask my mom to quit her job as my tutor?"
