Everyone's been reborn, so who would bother finding a wife on their own?

Chapter 120 My Treat

After two classes, Xiao Yunqing became familiar with the girl in front of him.

The girl's name was Zhou Shan. She had fair skin, wore large-framed glasses, and liked to tilt her head when she spoke. She looked quite cute.

During the break, he turned around, put his arm on Xiao Yunqing's desk, and rested his chin on his arm.

Which class were you in before?

Class 8.

"Class 8?" Zhou Shan's eyes lit up. "I'm in Class 12, right upstairs from you."

Xiao Yunqing nodded, closed her textbook, and prepared for the next lesson.

Zhou Shan turned her head to look at Song Huan, who was muttering to herself, and glanced between Xiao Yunqing and Song Huan.

The two people are arguing.

Song Huan said something, and Xiao Yunqing glared at him and slapped him.

Song Huan dodged, smiled, and said something else.

Xiao Yunqing's face turned even redder.

"that......"

Zhou Shan hesitated before speaking, her voice lower than usual, "Yun Qing, what's your relationship with Yun Qing?"

She blinked, her large-framed glasses brimming with curiosity.

Xiao Yunqing turned her head and bumped right into Song Huan's irritating remark, still angry.

"I am his cousin."

She raised her chin slightly. "He's my good-for-nothing cousin."

Zhou Shan said "Oh" and was about to nod.

Song Huan leaned back in her chair, revealing a sunny smile.

"My name is Song Huan."

He pointed to himself, "The tall, smart, and handsome cousin that Xiao Yunqing mentioned."

Xiao Yunqing's face turned from red to purple.

"When did I say that!"

"What you just said, about cousins, isn't that what you meant?"

"That's... utterly shameless! Shut up!"

She slapped him again, and this time he couldn't dodge. The slap landed on his arm with a crisp sound.

Song Huan laughed and stepped aside. "Sorry, my cousin is just like that. She wants to keep me, her cousin, a secret and not let outsiders know. What can I do? I'm just too outstanding!"

"You're asking for it!"

Xiao Yunqing chased after her, and the two of them, separated by the back of the chair, pushed each other and dodged each other.

Zhou Shan looked at them, her mouth slightly open.

She turned her head to look at the back row.

Zhao Qihang was lying on the table, enjoying the show.

Chen Xu also peeked out, a grin spreading across his face.

Zhou Shan gave her a questioning look.

Zhao Qihang received her look, moved his lips, and mouthed a gesture.

Three words.

Zhou Shan understood.

They're a couple!

She turned back and looked at the two who were still bickering.

Xiao Yunqing was pinching Song Huan's arm, and Song Huan was begging for mercy with her hands raised, a smile on her face.

Zhou Shan sat in the front, her mind racing.

How could there be couples at No. 1 Middle School?

How could anyone from No. 1 High School dare to be a couple?

But looking at these two people...

One was holding on tightly, while the other was laughing and not dodging.

She suddenly realized.

Right.

If this isn't a couple, then what is?

The morning classes ended, and the bell rang three times.

The classroom was like it had been put on play; there were sounds of chairs scraping the floor, textbooks slamming on the desks, and someone shouting, "Let's go, let's go, we're starving!"

Zhao Qihang was the first to stand up, stretch, and let out a growl from his stomach.

"Let's go, let's go eat."

He patted Chen Xu on the shoulder, and Chen Xu stood up, sliding his chair back a little.

Song Huan capped the pen and stood up.

Xiao Yunqing also began to pack her things, stacking her textbooks, stuffing her pens into her pencil case, and zipping it up.

The movements were quick, but methodical.

Zhou Shan sat in the front and turned her head to glance at the class.

Some people had already rushed out of the classroom, while others were carrying their meal cards and heading towards the door.

She looked at the four people again.

Song Huan and Xiao Yunqing had already stood up. Zhao Qihang was urging Chen Xu to hurry up, but Chen Xu was still looking for his meal card. He searched his pockets twice before finally finding it.

Zhou Shan pursed her lips and spoke.

"Um... can I come with you?"

The sound wasn't loud, and the ending note dropped.

All four of them were stunned for a moment.

Zhou Shan blushed, her face turning red all the way to the tips of her ears.

She quickly pulled her meal card out of her pocket and held it up.

"I can treat you."

Zhao Qihang was the first to react, "Then what's there to say?"

He waved his hand dismissively, "Let's go, let's go."

Song Huan smiled and zipped up her backpack.

"Since you're treating, we can definitely eat together."

Xiao Yunqing didn't say anything, but directly reached out and grabbed Zhou Shan's wrist.

"Let's go."

Zhou Shan was pulled to her feet and paused for a moment.

Her fingers were cool to the touch, held lightly by Xiao Yunqing, but he didn't loosen his grip.

She lowered her head and followed.

Stepping out of the teaching building, the sun was shining brightly.

The rubber track on the playground reflects light, dazzling the eyes.

The shade of the tree shrank into a small patch, and two cats crouched underneath, dozing with their eyes half-closed.

Three boys walked in front.

Zhao Qihang, clutching an empty mineral water bottle, took two steps back and stood in front of the trash can.

"Watch closely."

He threw it, the bottle hit the edge of the trash can, bounced, and didn't go in.

"Depend on."

Chen Xu walked over, picked up the bottle, and stood two steps away.

With a flick of the wrist, the bottle arced through the air and fell straight in.

Zhao Qihang glared at him.

Song Huan walked over, also holding an empty bottle.

He didn't step back, just stood there and casually tossed it aside.

The bottle spun around the edge of the trash can and then fell in.

"Depend on!"

Zhao Qihang stopped talking and turned to walk towards the cafeteria.

Two girls walked behind.

Zhou Shan was still clutching her meal card, her palms sweating.

She stole a glance at Xiao Yunqing, who was looking at the backs of the three boys in front of her, a beautiful smile on his lips.

"You used to be in Class 8, you must have had a good relationship with them, right?" Zhou Shan asked.

Xiao Yunqing withdrew her gaze. "Not bad."

"They all seem like nice people."

Zhou Shan whispered, "I used to eat alone in Class 12."

Xiao Yunqing glanced at her, said nothing, reached out and took her wrist, and took a step forward.

"Then let's be together from now on."

Zhou Shan paused for a moment, then smiled, "Thank you."

Ahead, Song Huan glanced back.

The sunlight shone on his face, and he squinted, seeing Xiao Yunqing talking to Zhou Shan, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

He turned back and continued walking.

With the sun shining on my skin, it didn't feel so hot anymore.

……

After leaving the cafeteria, Song Huan turned into the convenience store.

When they came out, they were carrying five bottles of soda, orange flavored, with water droplets condensed on the bottles.

One bottle per person.

Zhao Qihang took it, unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and burped.

"Cool."

Chen Xu took it, but didn't drink it right away. He turned it around in his hand for a moment.

Song Huan handed the remaining two bottles to Zhou Shan.

Zhou Shan caught it; the bottle was icy cold, and her palms instantly felt cold.

"Thank you." The voice was very soft.

Xiao Yunqing walked over, took the bottle of soda from Zhou Shan, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.

Why did you say thank you to him?

Zhou Shan was taken aback for a moment, "Huh? I think he's pretty good..."

Xiao Yunqing snorted and raised her chin.

"What's so good about him? He's a bad guy."

Song Huan walked ahead and turned back to smile.

"Zhou Shan, do you think the person next to you is taking his good fortune for granted?"

Zhou Shan nodded subconsciously.

After clicking, I realized something was wrong and quickly shook my head. I shook it twice and then stopped, unsure whether to click or shake it, my face turning bright red.

She turned to look at Xiao Yunqing, her eyes full of pleading.

Xiao Yunqing couldn't help but laugh when he saw her dazed expression.

"Alright, alright, I was just kidding."

She took Zhou Shan's hand and walked forward with light steps.

Zhou Shan was being pulled along by her, still clutching the bottle of soda in her hand. Water droplets from the bottle dripped onto the back of her hand, feeling cool.

She looked at Xiao Yunqing's profile; the sunlight shone on it, making her eyelashes shine.

When I returned to the classroom, it was already full of people lying down.

Some people stacked their textbooks into a wall, some covered their heads with their coats, and some simply lay face down on the table.

Zhao Qihang walked to his seat, plopped down, and lay face down, then stopped moving.

Chen Xu followed behind, but before he could even sit down properly, his head had already drooped.

Song Huan sat down, pushed her textbook aside, and leaned over.

Sunlight streamed in through the window and fell directly on his face.

He squinted, but didn't move.

Xiao Yunqing sat down and glanced at him.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating his profile and making his ears appear almost translucent.

She reached out and stacked the books on her desk a little higher.

There were three books stacked up: a Chinese textbook, an English textbook, and a physics workbook.

The sunlight was blocked, casting a small shadow on the table.

Song Huan's face was in the shadows, and her brows relaxed.

Xiao Yunqing looked at it for two seconds, then looked away.

Zhou Shan sat in the front, turned around, moved her lips, but didn't say anything.

Xiao Yunqing stood up, and the chair slid back slightly.

She tugged at Zhou Shan's sleeve and pointed towards the door.

The two of them tiptoed out of the classroom.

The corridor was empty, and sunlight streamed in through the windows, drawing bright squares on the floor.

Zhou Shan leaned against the wall, still holding the bottle of soda in her hand, and took a sip.

"Yunqing, you're very good at science subjects, aren't you?"

Xiao Yunqing thought for a moment, "It's alright."

"No wonder you chose science." Zhou Shan nodded. "I'm not very good at science, but I'm even worse at humanities, so I had no choice but to choose science."

Xiao Yunqing remained silent.

Zhou Shan took another sip of soda; the water droplets on the bottle had already dried.

"You were good at science subjects in Class 8 before?"

Xiao Yunqing leaned against the windowsill, looking at the end of the corridor.

"Oh no, I often fail physics."

Zhou Shan was taken aback for a moment. "Then why did you choose science?"

Xiao Yunqing did not answer.

She glanced in the direction of the classroom.

The door was open, and you could see inside from the hallway.

In the back row by the window, Song Huan was lying on the table, with a stack of books standing next to her, blocking the sunlight.

She looked for a while, then turned back.

He smiled but didn't say anything.

Zhou Shan followed her gaze to the classroom, then looked at her again.

understood.

I didn't ask any more questions.

The two leaned against the corridor wall, sunlight streaming in through the window and dappling the floor.

The classroom was quiet, with only the sound of the fan whirring.

Xiao Yunqing finished her soda, crushed the bottle, and threw it into the trash can.

"Let's go in."
