Chapter 1: Goodbye childhood sweetheart!
Shenghai, Greek Holiday, a high-end bar located in the prosperous business district of the Bund.
The heavy rain at midnight did not damage the frenetic atmosphere of the nightclub at all.
The lights were bright and the couples of handsome men and beautiful women twisted their bodies wildly in the deafening DJ, and the air was filled with a strong smell of hormones.
Su Zelin sat expressionlessly in a VIP booth, holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking indifferently at several companions who were having fun.
He had no interest in hunting for beauties, and tonight was just a little business entertainment.
A fragrant breeze blew in his face, and a female internet celebrity who was slightly famous on Douyin sat quietly beside him.
She had a delicate makeup, dark purple eyeshadow which was painted very deeply, flaming red lips, and the long legs wrapped in black stockings under the hip-skirt bloomed with silent temptation in the flickering laser lights.
"Boss Su, I'm glad to meet you tonight. Let's have another drink?" The female internet celebrity raised the crystal glass in her hand with charming eyes and a coquettish voice.
The Lafite wine in the glass looked even more red like blood against the bright nails, bringing a strong visual impact.
This young CEO is a well-known bachelor in the circle. He is young and promising, with a dignified demeanor and a tall figure. He is a handsome man. I don't know how many women dream of having him.
Su Zelin glanced at her lightly. The female internet celebrity has a good appearance and is good at dressing up. She can get more than 85 points overall. With his rich experience of indulging in flowers, he can take this woman away tonight if he wants.
However, Su Zelin politely refused: "No, Miss. I have something to do tomorrow morning!"
The female internet celebrity did not give up. Her body moved very close to Su Zelin intentionally or unintentionally, and a strong and fragrant perfume wafted from her hot and fiery body to his nose.
"Boss Su, tomorrow's things can be done tomorrow. I think we should be busy with something else tonight, such as enjoying life while we can." She was almost half lying on Su Zelin's shoulder, breathing sweetly.
Su Zelin frowned, looking at the heavily made-up snake-like face, and felt deeply bored for no reason.
"Sorry, it's a bit boring, I'm going to go out for some fresh air!" Pushing away the other's hand holding the crystal glass, he stood up, separated the densely packed guests, and walked straight out of the bar, leaving the embarrassed female internet celebrity.
Outside, it was pouring rain, lightning and thunder, and the boundless darkness seemed like a giant beast with its bloody mouth entrenched on the earth, and the neon lights of the city were dim under its power.
The air was not so turbid, but Su Zelin stared into the distance with a gloomy face, his mood became more and more depressed, and his chest seemed to be pressed by an invisible stone.
A few years ago, on a rainy night like this, Qin Shiqing discovered that he was having an affair. She turned around and rushed into the rainstorm without hesitation, and never came back.
He walked out of the bar like a zombie, letting the big raindrops hit his face. It was a bit cold.
After a while, his whole body was soaked, but he didn't feel it at all.
"Boom!"
A thunder suddenly exploded not far away, and Su Zelin woke up from his dream. He was inexplicably furious and raised his middle finger to the low sky: "F**k, if you have the guts, then kill me!"
As soon as the voice fell, another strong white light fell from the sky. It hit him directly.
In the last moment before losing consciousness, Su Zelin suddenly remembered the poisonous oath he had made.
"Qin Shiqing, if I ever wronged you, I will be struck by thunder and die a miserable death!"
…
"Zelin, wake up!" Su Zelin raised his head in a daze. This is an old classroom. The wooden desk in front of me has been passed down for who knows how many generations. It has been scratched and mottled. The lines of small words carved on the desktop silently tell the long years.
Where there is a will, there is a way!
Must be admitted to Tsinghua and Peking University!
Bai Xiaolei, I love you!
Good morning!
Frieza, I'm angry!!!
Lakers championship, gogogo!
…
Chila Chila Chila…
The iron leaf ceiling fan above my head turned quietly, and the bearings damaged by age made a harsh noise from time to time during high-speed friction. Dozens of eyes fell on Su Zelin at the same time. Their owners were once familiar faces that had long faded in his memory.
Su Zelin's eyes were wide open, and his face was full of disbelief.
Isn't this the classroom of Class 2, Grade 3, Jianglan High School?
Am I dreaming?
But why is this dream so realistic!
He bit his tongue hard.
Hiss, it hurts!
This is not a dream!
Could it be that I was reborn?
On the podium, a female teacher wearing gold-rimmed glasses was furious.
He Lisha, the English teacher of Class 2, Grade 3, but she prefers the students to call her by her English name, Lisa. She looks a bit like Lisa Rong in "Love Apartment", with a pretty face, fashionable dress, and a plump figure, like a ripe peach, full of attraction to the young boys in the class.
"Student Su Zelin, please read and translate the exercise paragraph I just mentioned!" Lisa was furious. She was known for her serious and strict teaching. This student dared to sleep soundly in her class!
"Su Zelin is too bold. Sleeping in Teacher Lisa's class is so presumptuous!"
"Hey, don't say that, what else does this kid dare not do."
"The college entrance examination is coming soon, doesn't he feel any pressure at all?"
"…"
Everyone whispered and talked about Su Zelin. The man with glasses and a pale face sitting on the left side of Su Zelin was gloating at his misfortune.
Not yet fully understanding the situation, Su Zelin was still confused. Until someone poked him under the desk.
This was a dark and thin boy, with an inconspicuous appearance and a simple and honest face. He was the type who would get hit by several people on the street if they block his road. His high school deskmate, his best friend Lu Haoran
The two of them had a deep relationship and were in tune with each other. Seeing Lu Haoran secretly extending three fingers, Su Zelin immediately understood.
The third paragraph!
There was a crumpled information question on the desk, and Su Zelin had just fallen asleep on it.
He quickly found the third paragraph of the Reading Comprehension, cleared his throat, and read it fluently.
"有些人对未来持悲观态度.他们说,一百年后,我们将会耗尽地球的大部分资源..."
After reading it, he translated it casually: "This sentence is saying that some people are pessimistic when they think about the future. They say that, a hundred years from now, we will have used up most of the earth's resources…"
Before rebirth, Su Zelin's business was overseas, and he learned English very well, with an IELTS score of 8.0. In his eyes, high school English is about the same as elementary school level.
Listening to Su Zelin's translation and interpretation, Lisa was slightly surprised. This reading comprehension is a bit deep, and it contains many obscure words, but it didn't stump the boy.
His translation is perfect, and what surprised the female English teacher even more is that Su Zelin's American spoken pronunciation is extremely standard, with natural and smooth intonations, without any sense of awkwardness, almost comparable to some beautiful Chinese people she had met before.
This is not the level that a high school student should have!
As far as she knew, the boy was a slacker in the class and was lazy in studying. Although he was smart and had a talent for English, his grades in this course were only slightly above average.
The female teacher wanted to punish this student, but her goal was not achieved, and she was a little angry before.
At this time, Su Zelin spoke again: "Teacher Lisa, because the college entrance examination is approaching, I have been very anxious and exhausted during this period. I couldn't sleep last night. I just couldn't hold on and fell asleep. I'm really sorry!"
The conversation was still completed in English. While finding an excuse for himself, it also gave the female teacher a way out.
Lisa was even more shocked.
This boy talked eloquently, and he could even use vocabulary and grammar that had never appeared in high school English textbooks!
Others were confused and felt that he was impressive.
After a long while, Lisa came back to her senses and coughed dryly.
"On the eve of the college entrance examination, many people are mentally anxious. It is normal for them to have poor sleep quality at night. I hope that student Su Zelin can relax and adjust his work and rest!"
Su Zelin showed such an amazing talent that she couldn't make things difficult for him, so she took the opportunity to step down.
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Teacher Lisa. I will try my best to overcome it!"
As soon as Su Zelin sat down, Lu Haoran gave him a thumbs up.
Su Zelin has never worked hard. He fishes for three days and dries the net for two days. He spends the whole day idling around. But his English is so good. Smart people are indeed different!
"Haozi, thank you!" Su Zelin nodded slightly at him.
"Well, Zelin, there is more than a month before the college entrance examination. You should stop reading novels with a flashlight in your bed at night, right?" Lu Haoran hesitated and lowered his voice to make a kind suggestion.
Su Zelin stayed up late last night reading an urban novel with a flashlight in his bed. Some passages have more ellipsis than words. Lu Haoran thought that this was the culprit of his deskmate sleeping in class.
Su Zelin nodded, but he was absent-minded.
Well, there is still more than a month before the college entrance examination? This time point should be the early summer of 2000!
Su Zelin made a quick judgment.
He looked up at the college entrance examination countdown hanging next to the blackboard, and there were still thirty-five days left.
That's right!
Before his rebirth, he was the president of a large company in Shenghai. Now he has returned to the pre-liberation period overnight, but Su Zelin didn't care at all. Instead, his heart was filled with joy and excitement.
For him, some people and things are more important than money!
Even if you are rich enough to rival a country, you can't make up for many regrets.
Now I have a chance to make up for it!
"Ring, ring, ring…"
As the bell rang, everyone stood up.
"Class is over. Boys and girls, see you next time!"
"Goodbye, teacher!"
As soon as the female teacher walked out of the classroom, the girl in the front seat turned her head.
This is a beautiful face whose facial expression is both happy and angry. The oval face is well-proportioned and full, with smooth lines and a pair of bright eyes. It is as clear and pure as the sky in a sunny summer. The exquisite double braids fall on the round shoulders, matched with thin flat bangs. The fresh hairstyle outlines a faint literary style, with the unique beauty of this era.
Water lilies emerge from clear water, naturally without carving.
"Su Zelin, did you really have insomnia last night?"
The girl's cherry lips slightly opened, her voice was sweet and graceful, as soft as jade, as if a breeze suddenly passed by in the hot summer, which could instantly calm people's restless hearts.
Su Zelin stared at the girl with a complicated look.
Qin Shiqing, his neighbor and childhood sweetheart.
Before rebirth, he had mistreated this girl, leaving her scarred and broken. What's more terrible is that Su Zelin's father, who was ashamed to face his old neighbor, broke off the father-son relationship with his son in anger and never contacted him again.
This is something that Su Zelin regrets for the rest of his life!
Since God has given me a second chance, I, Su, swear that I will never cheat on Qin Shiqing again in this life!
Su Zelin thought secretly in his heart.
But asking him to be loyal and unwavering is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Su Zelin is born to be a person who is extremely eager for novelty. He yearns for freedom, unrestrainedness, and unruly temperament is almost engraved in his bones. It is absolutely impossible for him to stay with only one woman for the rest of his life.
In his previous life, Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing had been together for a period of time, and he had hoped to work hard to change himself and manage this relationship well. However, that state made him at a loss, and there were too many temptations around him, just like a bunch of delicious fish jumping around a greedy cat. It was too difficult not to cheat, and in the end he still wronged his childhood sweetheart.
My temperament will not be completely different because of rebirth. If I try again, the result may still be that I can't control myself and the same thing will happen again. However, if I don't cheat on Qin Shiqing, there are other ways.
That is to keep her away from me, a scumbag!
Su Zelin quickly came up with an idea.
The college entrance examination will be in more than a month, and I still have some impression of some of the questions I took in my previous life. As long as I reveal a little before the exam, Qin Shiqing's grades will definitely make her go to Tsinghua or Peking University.
By then, she and I will be far apart, each of us will be well, and there will be no more entanglement, so naturally I won't break her heart again!
However, before that, I have to enjoy this time, remember it in my heart, and regard it as the best memory of the graduation season!
