Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

In the morning, as soon as Lu Youning opened her eyes, she smelled the aroma of millet porridge and dumplings.

She walked into the kitchen and saw the steamed dumplings and eggs in the bowl, and the porridge in the pot still warm. She sat down and ate while she was lost in thought, her mind a mess.

It was nine o'clock in the morning and the sun was already very bright outside. Looking at the scene around her, she felt like she was in a dream.

Two days ago, she was on her way home when she was hit by a flower pot. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on the bed, looking at the furnishings in the room, she felt a little familiar.

There was a small wardrobe and a desk. Posters of movies like "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Together" and "Palace" were stuck on the wardrobe, and there were celebrity stickers on the notebook covers on the desk. This felt like my room back in junior high school.

She sat up in bed in shock, rubbed her eyes and looked again. Oh, it wasn't blurry, it really was the old room. Then she looked at her hands, slender, white, and well-proportioned, not waxy and rough like later.

This... was I reborn? Lu Youning had also asked herself why she hadn't studied hard back then, how many times she had imagined returning to high school and then making up her mind to study hard.

Lu Youning hurriedly glanced at the calendar. It was July 6, 2011. She went back to eighteen years ago, two days after the high school entrance examination.

Fortunately, the exam is over.

After a simple breakfast, Lu Youning returned to her room. Looking at the messy room, she planned to organize the books and clothes she had brought back from school.

Lu Youning looked at the knowledge in the textbook and sighed deeply. A lot of knowledge had been returned to the teacher. If he was reborn before the high school entrance examination, he would probably be close to "death". What he had learned in three years was like learning nothing.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind, and I put it aside. After a whole morning of sorting, I finally got my textbooks and clothes sorted.

It was almost noon, and she was going out to buy something to eat. Her mother had left her some money in the morning, so she could eat out at noon.

Both my parents work in a factory. My father is a clerical worker and my mother is an ordinary assembly line worker. They both eat lunch in the factory.

The factory has good benefits. There is a high temperature allowance in the summer, rice and oil are distributed during the holidays, and eating in the cafeteria is cheaper than eating outside.

They saved money to buy the 90-square-meter house they live in now, and they also had to pay for their own and their brother's schooling, which was not easy.

I remember that in my previous life, I had decent grades in junior high school, but after entering high school, I became addicted to novels and TV dramas. Sometimes I would read them secretly during class, and at night when the lights were turned off in the dormitory, I would cover myself with the quilt and read with a flashlight.

He squandered his youth at an age when he should have been studying, his grades plummeted, and he only got into an ordinary college.

I didn't find a good job after graduation, so I just found a clerical job. I'm in my thirties and still single, with no car, no house, and no savings, and I've caused my parents to worry for most of my life.

Lu Youning thought about it and decided to cook for herself. This was the only survival skill she learned in her previous life.

On the one hand, takeout is expensive. A serving of spicy hot pot costs dozens of yuan and still isn't enough to fill you up. On the other hand, takeout is full of additives, making it unhealthy, and there are also pre-prepared dishes. So she learned to cook.

On a southern summer day, sunlight, like fine golden sand, filters through the treetops and falls on the scorching earth. The cicadas in the trees sing tirelessly, their voices high and passionate. This adds to the restlessness, and the air is filled with an almost palpable heat.

Lu Youning took her parasol and keys and went out to buy meat and vegetables at a nearby supermarket. As soon as she entered the supermarket, a cool breeze hit her face, and the heat in her body instantly disappeared.

She first bought a lean pork leg from the pork stall, then some non-spicy bell peppers and small greens, two pounds of shrimp, and finally some grapes, bananas, and a pineapple. She returned home with a bag full of stuff, sweating profusely.

She immediately went to the bathroom to wash her face and looked up at the mirror. The girl in the mirror had a high ponytail and several red and swollen pimples on her cheeks and forehead were very conspicuous.

Her eyes were large, clear, and bright, with long, curled eyelashes that fluttered gently like butterfly wings. Her lips were pale, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a sweet smile that made people feel happy.

Well, it’s great to be young, full of collagen and youthful vitality.

After a short rest, she saw that it was almost two o'clock. It was a bit late to cook at this time, so she just cooked a bowl of egg noodles and drank a bottle of ice yogurt. After quickly filling her stomach, she put the vegetables she bought in the refrigerator.

After eating, I lay on the sofa, the air conditioning on, and took out my phone to check if there were any messages. I remember that at this time in my previous life, most of my classmates used Little Penguin to chat, and few people used WeChat. After the second year of high school, more and more people started using WeChat.

She opened the little penguin app and heard a long-lost cough, which felt quite familiar. Seeing her own signature, she was so embarrassed that she could dig two acres of land with her toes.

'The wings of my dream are injured, I can't fly to where you are.'

'My indifference is due to you.'

This strong non-mainstream atmosphere... uh, it has a modern style.

She quickly deleted all these personal signatures and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, her good friend Pan Xiaomei sent her a message, asking her what she was doing at home and whether she wanted to go out shopping tomorrow.

Thinking about her past life experience, Lu Youning couldn't help but feel a little emotional. At the age of sixteen, she was forced to drop out of school and work in a factory.

She had clearly been admitted to one of the best high schools in L City through her own efforts. As long as she continued to work hard, she would be able to go to a good university, get a good job, and have a bright future.

I remember her as an optimistic, cheerful girl with excellent grades, always in the top ten in her grade. However, her parents favored boys over girls and wanted her to start working in a factory early to earn money to buy a house. Gradually, they became less in touch, and eventually, there was no news of her.

Pan Xiaomei: "Youning, did you disappear right after the exam? I haven't been able to contact you for two days. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, let's go shopping."

Lu Youning: "It's so hot, I don't feel like moving."

Pan Xiaomei: "Let's go shopping in the jewelry store, and then go to the milk tea shop to drink milk tea. There is air conditioning in the store, so it won't be hot." She also sent a cute emoticon package.

Lu Youning: "Okay, I'll sacrifice my life for you."

Pan Xiaomei: "That's it."

Lu Youning clicked on the class group chat again. She had just finished an exam, so the group was very active. She casually browsed through it and then left. She checked her friends' updates, liked a few, and then left.

After being reborn, my mentality has become more mature and I am no longer interested in the topics that junior high school students talk about.

Lu Youning sat in the living room for a long time, not knowing what to do, so she decided to watch TV to kill time. She turned on Mango TV and a familiar song came on:

"Let us live in the world of mortals

Galloping on horseback to share the prosperity of the world

Singing to the wine and expressing the joy in my heart

Seize the youth with vigor and vitality

Ahh ...

I almost forgot that "My Fair Princess" has not been banned yet. It is no exaggeration to say that "My Fair Princess" is rebroadcast every summer vacation.

"My Fair Princess" is no longer just about the plot itself, it is more of a return to nostalgia and emotion.

This drama has become a common memory for generations, and its annual rebroadcast can evoke audiences' memories of the good old days. This emotional value cannot be measured in money.

She curled up on the sofa and watched two episodes without realizing it. It was almost time for her parents to get off work. She went to the kitchen to cook dinner and wash and chop the vegetables she bought that afternoon.

Lu Youning planned to cook by herself to give her parents a surprise. She made three dishes and a soup: sweet and sour pork with pineapple, braised prawns, seaweed egg drop soup, and a vegetable.

When she heard the door open, she knew her parents had arrived home, and Lu Youning had finished cooking the last dish. As she was carrying the dish out, she saw the surprised expressions of Lu's parents and couldn't help laughing.

"Mom and Dad, why are you standing here? Wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Dad Lu looked at the dishes on the table and asked hesitantly, "Did you make all these?"

Lu Youning: "Yes, Dad, come and try it and see how it tastes."

Mama Lu looked Lu Youning up and down and said, "When did you learn to cook? Are you possessed by some evil spirit? I'll go see a fortune teller someday."
