After rebirth, I gave up Bai Yueguang

This city always experiences heavy rain during the Qingming Festival. The sky is thick with gray clouds, and the sun and blue sky haven't been seen for several days. Such weather always makes people feel gloomy. Even Su Jing, who was always immersed in books, felt the gloom.

"Why has it been raining all the time recently? I feel so unhappy," she said to herself, took a look at the sky outside, and took out a book "History of Ancient Chinese Art" from her desk and put it on the table.

"It's Qingming Festival, isn't it like this every year? It always rains for more than twenty days before it stops." Zhang Lingjue heard her mumbling and said something as if talking to herself, "My clothes won't dry, they're so uncomfortable to wear."

Qingming Festival, it's Qingming Festival now. Su Jing felt a pang of melancholy. This was her second Qingming Festival since returning to this world. Her heart twitched, and her gaze turned to Jiang Yi, who was sleeping on the table beside her. His back was to her, his dark hair softly resting on his arm. Su Jing's nose twitched, and she felt the urge to move closer and smell it.

It felt so magical! I'd swept this person's grave years before, and now, this person was actually sitting next to me at the same table. Should I light another stick of incense this year?

The shadows of him as a teenager and him as a middle-aged man alternated in front of Su Jing's eyes, sometimes near, sometimes far away, and both figures seemed so unreal. She began to doubt again, whether she was illusory, or the two figures in front of her were illusory.

The teacher's cough didn't wake Su Jing from the phantom, but it did wake Jiang Yi, who was still awake. Thinking he had been discovered sleeping, he slowly raised his head and turned around, trying to give the teacher the illusion that he was not asleep, but just sitting in an improper posture.

But when Jiang Yi turned around, he found that Su Jing was staring at him blankly. He felt a little sweet inside: this girl still likes him after all. She is so stubborn every day, but she is still the same as before, staring at him when he is not paying attention.

He blinked at Su Jing, but she didn't respond; he tilted his head left and right, but she didn't respond; he glanced at her, but she didn't respond either; finally, Jiang Yi pouted and made a kissing gesture, but she still didn't respond.

Did this girl have a stroke?

At this time, the teacher coughed twice loudly from the podium. Seeing that Su Jing was still in a daze, Jiang Yi bumped her twice with his knee under the table.

"Ah." Su Jing finally cried out softly, coming back to her senses. She looked at Jiang Yi, who was looking at her with a smirk, his eyes flashing with inquiry. Jiang Yi tilted his head slightly towards the podium, motioning her to look up.

Su Jing just realized that the teacher had already entered the classroom. She hurriedly looked towards the podium, smiled at the teacher embarrassedly, and sat up straight to prepare for the class.

The teacher had obviously noticed her vacant gaze, and Jiang Yi's subtle movements caught his eye. He glanced back and forth between them several times with deep meaning. They were both so beautiful, having grown up together, it wasn't surprising they'd develop some feelings for each other. However, since they were relatives, it wouldn't be a good idea if something really happened. He had to talk to Old Zhang after class and ask him to pay attention.

After all, the rumors at school weren't completely groundless. Perhaps the two of them had developed feelings for each other and weren't even aware of it. I had to remind Lao Zhang to give them a heads-up. Jiang Yi was fine; he looked like a prodigal. But it would be a shame to let such a promising young talent like Su Jing go to waste. Besides, they were related; this was absolutely unacceptable. Absolutely not!

At noon, Xu Meijuan and others who had been coming to have lunch with Su Jing every day recently appeared at the classroom door on time again.

Su Jing glanced at Xu Meijuan and nudged Jiang Yi with her elbow.

"Hmm?" Jiang Yi responded doubtfully.

"Someone's here to have dinner with you." Su Jing raised her chin towards the door, and Jiang Yi also saw Xu Meijuan with two followers.

"Looking for you?" He was a little impatient. He couldn't say he disliked Xu Meijuan, after all, he admitted that she was indeed beautiful. But he couldn't like her at all either. Every day, as long as she wasn't in class, she would always appear in his sight.

"Don't give me that. I'm just a shield. Don't you know?" Su Jing pouted.

"Why is it like this again?" he muttered. "I'm so bored every day."

"What is this?" Su Jing was puzzled.

"Just like you used to be, always hanging around in front of me." Jiang Yi said unconsciously.

"Hehe..." Su Jing suddenly laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Now it was Jiang Yi's turn to be confused.

"I'm just laughing at you." Su Jing smiled. "Before, I followed you around like a puppy every day, and you just kept giving me a cold shoulder. Now that I've given up and stopped chasing you, you're actually willing to pay attention to me. You've even helped me so much. Do you think you're sick?"

"Uh..." Jiang Yi was speechless. Thinking back, it seemed to be true. Ever since Su Jing started to indulge in her studies and stopped chasing after him, he really started to pay attention to her. He also became more and more concerned about her moods. He really seemed to be sick.

However, he certainly wouldn't admit it. He rolled his eyes at Su Jing and said, "How is she the same as you?"

"Okay, okay, they're different. How can she and I be the same? Her family is so rich, and she's the school belle." Su Jing blinked.

"Su Jing, come out quickly. We are going to a newly opened spicy hot pot restaurant today." Xu Meijuan urged them as she saw that the two of them were still talking.

"I'm here." Su Jing didn't like to speculate about others, so as long as they weren't deliberately trying to cause trouble for her, she could get along well with anyone. In her previous life, she hadn't spent all her time studying, so she didn't want too many friends. In this life, she really had no intention of wasting her time on socializing, so she didn't have many friends.

Now Xu Meijuan comes to her on her own initiative every day, and she has no objection, they just have dinner together.

Su Jing came out. Xu Meijuan saw Jiang Yi still lingering in the classroom and knew he must be doing it on purpose. She bumped Su Jing with her shoulder and whispered embarrassedly, "Call him."

"Hmm? Who?" Su Jing asked immediately without thinking.

Xu Meijuan thought she was teasing her on purpose, and immediately said awkwardly, "Oh, you know who I'm talking about, stop laughing at me."

"Oh, oh." Su Jing understood, turned around and said to Jiang Yi in a long voice: "Brother... handsome Jiang... let's go eat together."

Jiang Yi had originally wanted to go play billiards with Lin Jiajun. He hadn't played since Su Jing's incident. It had been raining recently, making it the perfect weather for a game. But now, he really enjoyed hearing Su Jing's coquettish call of "brother." Hearing her call, he laughed from the bottom of his heart, an uncontrollable smile spreading across his face.

The smile was fleeting, and then Jiang Yi walked out with the gentle expression he was used to showing to everyone. Xu Meijuan was looking at him nervously, until she heard him say, "Okay, let's go." Her expression relaxed and immediately turned into a smile.

Su Jing happened to see Xu Meijuan's genuine smile, and her heart was moved: She was just like her old self, who would be genuinely happy for days just because the boy she liked looked at her and smiled at her, or just because they attended the same event together. It's impossible to hide the look of true love in someone's eyes. She suddenly had a slight crush on Xu Meijuan.

"You look so beautiful when you smile." Su Jing said to Xu Meijuan.

"Ah?!" Xu Meijuan was stunned by Su Jing's incoherent words. "Me?"

"Yes, you are worthy of being the campus belle. You are really beautiful." Su Jing patted her shoulder, gave her a wink, and said in a low voice: "I support you in pursuing... uh... my brother." Halfway through the words, she felt that the title was a bit awkward, paused, and still said it.

Xu Meijuan's eyes lit up immediately. She tried her best to suppress her heart that was about to jump out of her chest, and said in a low voice, "Really? Really? Do you want me to be your sister-in-law?" She was so excited that sparks flashed in her eyes, and her feet stomped happily on the ground.

"Go, keep your voice down." Su Jing gave her a look, "Look at your worthless appearance, he heard it."

This little girl is so much like me back then. It seems that she is just like me back then, and this guy is completely fascinated by her. If she can really make Jiang Yi accept her, it would be a good thing.

Su Jing's current state of mind was even amusing to herself. She clearly still loved this man, yet her mindset was like Wu Wanqiu's, wanting to find him a woman with a good family background, good character, good looks, and someone who would absolutely, truly love him. What kind of perverse mentality was this? Su Jing couldn't help but find her thoughts a bit amusing. Was she really hoping for better things for him because she loved him, or was it simply because she was now, at heart, a middle-aged woman?

Uh, never mind, let’s choose the former.

Because of her words, Xu Meijuan was so excited that she kept jumping as she walked, and she held her hand even tighter.

"Oh, let go," Su Jing felt a little headache. Little kids are so easy to satisfy. He was so happy just by saying a word of support. If he couldn't catch up with her in the end, he would be so sad that he would jump off the building! "Calm down! You haven't caught up with her yet."

In order to prevent her from jumping off the building out of despair, Su Jing quickly poured a basin of cold water on her.

"It's okay, it's okay. I just need your support. You said I'm pretty." Xu Meijuan was a little embarrassed. "I have confidence now!"

The two of them were muttering in the back. Jiang Yi, who had already walked quite a distance, turned back and shouted impatiently, "Do you still want to eat?"
