Chapter 201: Rebirth

Chapter 201: Rebirth

Ye Changqing, seeing the other person's shocked expression, stopped in his tracks.

"What do you mean?"

Ye Changqing thought the guy was trying to pin something on him.

Li Deshu's eyes scanned the crowd around him.

They were indeed all from Baishi Village, but in his memory, many of them had already died.

Li Deshu bolted to the riverside and saw his reflection in the clear water.

It was his younger self!

"Hahaha... I'm back! I'm back!"

Li Deshu's crazed behavior startled everyone.

"Deshu must have lost his mind."

"What should we do? Go get Li Deshu's mom, quick!"

After his wild laughter, Li Deshu suddenly calmed down.

"Everyone, I'm fine. Thank you all for today. Come over for a meal sometime."

Then Li Deshu strutted off.

His clothes were soaked, and from behind, he looked like a madman.

As Li Deshu passed by Ye Changqing, he glanced at him with a strange look.

He didn't feel much for this former brother-in-law, as they hadn't met many times.

At first, he respected the Ye family, but later he grew indifferent.

The Ye family had faced disaster after disaster, and he hadn't offered any help. It was precisely because the Ye family was gone that he later escalated his abuse of "Yan Yan."

As Li Deshu walked back, he was still thinking: Since Li Deshu is still alive, he must not have married "Yan Yan" yet.

That meant his family hadn't gone bankrupt!

If he could change his father's investments, he could keep living the rich kid life.

Li Deshu walked home with a light heart, convinced he was the chosen one, completely unaware that even with rebirth, his fate had already taken a drastic turn.

His legs still felt a little off when he walked, but Li Deshu didn't think much of it. It might just be from falling into the water, and it wasn't very painful.

Li Deshu's strangeness didn't attract anyone else's attention. Even Ye Changqing thought he was out of his mind.

Maybe he caught a chill from the water and wasn't thinking straight.

Ye Changqing didn't think much of it and simply turned to leave.

...

September 1st, Ye Xiaoxiao started school.

Lu Hanchuan, as usual, planned to accompany her, but this time he had taken on a mission out of town and couldn't return for a short while.

Ye Xiaoxiao told him, "I can get to school on my own; I don’t have much to carry, and I’m driving anyway."

Lu Hanchuan advised, "Take it easy on the road."

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, saying, "Alright, alright."

It was the first day of school, and the campus was bound to be packed. Her father, Song Guangjing, was also uneasy about letting Ye Xiaoxiao return alone.

"Let Xiaoguang go with you."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Okay."

She was feeling unsure and didn’t know the way well.

With Song Xiaoguang guiding her, Ye Xiaoxiao made it to the school district compound without a hitch.

Song Xiaoguang had been there before.

Apartment 3, Room 301, Ye Xiaoxiao went in to pack some things to take back to school and parked the car in the garage.

She only brought a small bag, not much else. Song Xiaoguang walked her to the door but stayed outside.

Right after Ye Xiaoxiao got to the dorm, Wang Jiao came in right behind her, pushing the door open.

As soon as she entered, she said, "I’ve got some news—Fang Kaixuan and I broke up."

Ye Xiaoxiao and the others in the dorm looked up.

He Jing: "Why? Did you propose it, or did Fang Kaixuan?"

Wang Jiao proudly said, "Obviously, it was me. Fang Kaixuan wouldn’t dare break up with me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Xiuxiu pushed the door open.

"Wang Jiao, Fang Kaixuan is waiting for you downstairs."

Wang Jiao: "I'm not going. Let him wait."

Tang Xiuxiu then looked at her in surprise, "Did you two have a fight?"

Wang Jiao: "We’re done, so from now on, don’t bring up Fang Kaixuan, or I’ll be mad."

Tang Xiuxiu shrugged, "Alright, I’ve said my piece."

The others stopped meddling in Wang Jiao and Fang Kaixuan’s business, because Wang Jiao's personality was such that the more you tried to persuade her, the more she would oppose.

Once school started, they were all sophomores.

Ye Xiaoxiao was planning to discuss moving out with the counselor in a couple of days.

The first day back was mostly about getting settled, and that evening, they headed to the teaching building to pick up their books.

When Ye Xiaoxiao arrived at the classroom, Chu Yunxiao had already rallied some folks to haul the books back.

The sophomore courses delved deeper than the freshman ones, and everyone eagerly flipped through their new books right away.

Qu Miao and the others had just moved out of the Rende Pharmacy dormitory that morning and moved back into the school dorms.

During this holiday, they not only improved their medical skills but also made some money.

Qu Miao and the group even visited Zhang Kaining's lab and offered some suggestions.

"You're all back now. I've mentioned to Manager Ma before that if you have free time, you can also pitch in at Rende Pharmacy. You'll get paid daily, and the dorm will stay open for you to rest."

Zhang Lichuan turned his head, "Manager Ma is really looking out for us, I’m almost embarrassed."

He had never seen such relaxed work terms.

Ye Xiaoxiao: "If you don’t perform well, Manager Ma wouldn't agree. It’s all on you and your skills."

Chu Yunxiao listened to their conversation, "Sounds like you’ve been keeping busy this summer."

Zhang Kaining was completely wiped out and immediately responded, "Of course, class monitor, our summer was packed. What have you been up to? You were nowhere to be found in Beijing."

Chu Yunxiao chuckled, "I’ve been tied up with family stuff."

Seeing that they were still chatting, Ye Xiaoxiao tossed the books into her bag, "I’ll take these back to read, you guys continue chatting."

"See you tomorrow, Xiao Xiao."

"Okay!"

When Ye Xiaoxiao arrived at the dormitory, she found Fang Kaixuan still waiting at the door.

"Wang Jiao won't come down, there’s no point in you waiting around. Are you two still upset about the last incident?"

Fang Kaixuan sighed, "That incident is long past. We broke up because I attended a high school reunion during the holiday, and she thought I went to see my ex-girlfriend.

I’m totally innocent here, I did ask her, but she didn’t want to go with me, saying she didn’t know anyone there and wouldn’t feel at ease."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "..."

She didn't quite understand the couple's thoughts.

"Sigh... I’ll go back first, I’ll come again tomorrow."

Fang Kaixuan left dejectedly.

For the next three days, Fang Kaixuan could be seen waiting for Wang Jiao downstairs.

But Wang Jiao showed no intention of reconciling.

On the fourth day, Fang Kaixuan didn't come.

Wang Jiao stood on the balcony, in a funk, "Men are all the same, he gave up after just a few days."

He Jing was hanging clothes on the balcony and asked in confusion, "Do you want him to come or not?"

Wang Jiao pouted and said in a coquettish tone, "Anyway, I won't forgive him easily."

He Jing understood and advised, "If you still want to be with him, don’t play hard to get, you should give him some face."

Wang Jiao still looked unconvinced, making He Jing shake her head helplessly.
