Had this happened to her own son?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... Zhai Da's grades weren't that great anyway...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xiaoli turned to call the doctor again, but Zhai Da grabbed her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, I'm really fine... go ahead and handle the discharge procedures...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should stay for another two days...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da: \"If I have a problem, it's a mental one. Can you send me to a mental hospital? Why stay here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xiaoli: \"That's not impossible... Mom will smash the pots and sell the iron to cure you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the one who finally let Zhai Da go was none other than the doctor himself. The old doctor in a white coat flipped Zhai Da's eyelids, asked some random questions, and let him go home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mental stress leading to temporary abnormality is a different matter from medical mental illness. In his view, going back to rest would help him recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This era wasn't like the later generations where everyone had \"depression.\" People didn't pay as much attention to mental health or stress issues, and this was just a second-class hospital in a small county.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only cost two thousand a month; what kind of mental illness are you curing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xiaoli finally agreed to be discharged and went with the doctor to handle the paperwork. Only Zhai Da and the old man reading the newspaper were left in the ward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da finally had the time to study the \"system information\" that had just appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After closing his eyes and sensing for a long time, Zhai Da roughly understood the function of the \"Life Equipment Synthesis System.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strong emotions, obsessions, and moods in life form \"intent,\" which attaches to objects, such as an amulet worn for years, a fascia gun in a nightstand, or even a collar the owner likes most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the help of the system, Zhai Da can identify these \"special items\" and activate them to become [Equipment], which, like in a game, increases the wearer's various abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's not that these items themselves possess magic; the system grants them corresponding abilities. Before this, they were ordinary objects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Low-level equipment] can be used directly, while [High-level equipment] requires completing unsealing tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, if the paths match, equipment can be synthesized into rarer equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Clown's Love Letter] given in the novice gift pack was the lowest white rarity, directly converting one of his personal items into [Equipment].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect is to increase sense of humor... what a humorous effect...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait... where is this thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically speaking, since he fainted in the second mock exam room, it's impossible for him to have any \"paper\" on him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered that the second mock exam was a city-wide unified exam, and the exam room system was already benchmarked against the college entrance exam. The school was closed, the first and second years were given a holiday, personal items were not allowed, and even school uniforms were not allowed to prevent cheating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also linked with the police and city departments; it was also a drill for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the reason why he was taken directly from school to the hospital—the road was quite smooth, the kind with police cars clearing the way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, at most, someone would pinch his philtrum until he woke up, and since high school students don't act like people, it might even be a physical pinch of the philtrum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da touched left and right, even flipped through his shoe insoles, but couldn't find the so-called \"love letter.\" Although this first piece of [Equipment] was very lame, he was very curious and couldn't lose it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, there was movement at the door of the ward. Zhai Da turned to look and saw four or five familiar yet strange, youthful faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his high school homeroom teacher, Ding Rong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at Zhai Da with sympathetic and pitiful eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under everyone's gaze, Zhai Da silently stuffed the blackened insole back into his yellowing sneakers and smiled awkwardly: \"Uh~ well, since you're here, why mention... oh, you didn't bring anything, then sit down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for Ding Rong, the homeroom teacher in her early thirties, he didn't really remember the others, just that they looked familiar; they were probably his high school classmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fainting in the exam room, it's normal for the teacher to bring a few classmates to see him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Rong sighed and walked up. She wanted to grab Zhai Da's hand, but thinking of him digging into his insole just now, she patted Zhai Da's shoulder instead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhai Da, health is the capital of revolution. All the classmates hope you recover soon...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So you didn't bring a box of Six Walnuts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da: \"...Uh... actually, I was just about to be discharged. Teacher, you guys should go back. I'm really fine...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tall, thin boy behind him pushed his glasses and said: \"Zhai Da, you shouldn't be distracted. Not only does it delay your studies, but it also affects Lin Shuyao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da's tone was hesitant: \"I don't understand what you're talking about...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another girl said: \"We heard you were in the hospital when we came out of the exam room. The teacher was anxiously looking for your personal items. Wu Yue said your schoolbag was stored in the canteen. We opened it and found only one letter. We thought it was a suicide note at the time... we were all scared to death...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da looked at the tall, strong boy at the back of the crowd, Wu Yue, his high school friend. Of course, the friendship only lasted through high school; they basically didn't contact each other afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the other party's house was demolished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until 2022 that Wu Yue, hearing that Zhai Da had won the lottery, contacted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said he had just come out of the JD detention center, his family was ruined, and he wanted to borrow money to go abroad to wash dishes... and said it was easy to make money there, he could buy the restaurant he washed dishes in within three months, and start paying him back in the fourth month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Yue shrank his head, looking like he had done something wrong. Zhai Da's bad premonition grew stronger: \"So you guys just...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just passed it around and read it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did you extract the central idea?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Homeroom teacher Ding Rong handed over the scented letter paper and comforted him: \"Student Zhai, puppy love is wrong, but you'll graduate in a few months. Once you go to work, the teacher won't care about you anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da opened it with trembling hands. On it was serious and ugly handwriting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yaoyao, your name isn't special, but I smile every time I say it, and I feel it's beautiful every time I write it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe the answer is long, I want to use my whole life to answer it. Are you ready to listen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yaoyao, I want to see the moon from your window... and then become your sun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so embarrassing that his toes curled up and caused paronychia!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was definitely enough to make an adult sit up in the middle of the night and slap themselves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, during his third year of high school, he had a crush on a girl... but by the time he was in his thirties, he had even forgotten her name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just remembered her legs were nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn't that much deep affection; it was purely visual attraction, craving her face and body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, what do you think a teenager's liking is? Who has the interest to bypass a girl's facial features to understand her worldview!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like he had a brain fart one day and wrote a love letter, but this love letter was never sent; it became a small thing among the countless absurd things a teenager does.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he thinks about it, he was really sick! Others were playing... ah no, dating until graduation and then breaking up, but he was confessing right before graduation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, a tall girl who had been hiding behind the crowd walked up, took a cute deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they were wearing their own clothes for the mock exam, this girl indeed had a kind of youthful beauty. Her oval face was all original, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and what was even rarer, her figure was outstanding, far surpassing the strange shapes of her peers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was exactly... Lin Shuyao, whose legs were the only thing Zhai Da remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da quickly completed a scan: legs 9, face 7, a pair of B-cups. She was indeed the typical \"white moonlight\" in the hearts of high school boys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that due to the era and age, the hairstyle made Zhai Da a bit unaccustomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be seen that she had tried her best without violating the rules, it was just that the direction of her effort might have been a bit problematic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towards the direction of \"non-mainstream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl walked to the hospital bed and bowed directly, as if sending off a corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in fact, the little face she lowered carried a bit of pride and self-esteem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What young girl isn't happy to receive a love letter? Even if she already had a pile of them at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Student Zhai, I'm sorry to tell you this on this occasion, but I don't want to date yet. With the college entrance exam approaching, I should focus on my studies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da: \"What you said makes a lot of sense, I think so too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second mock exam is over, if I don't study, I won't even get into junior college!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, he used to be a lucky rich man, and there would only be more opportunities for rebirth in this life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why... can't I be a person with an education, luck, and money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who has the time to play with a little girl?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shuyao: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is it not what I expected?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn't he be devastated, his lips trembling, begging me to reconsider, and then I reluctantly, for the sake of classmate friendship, keep in touch with him, chat occasionally, until I find my true love and delete him, and then add him back when my true love deletes me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da said: \"I understand your concern, looking through my private letters, but you all misunderstood. This is not a love letter written to Student Lin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shuyao was stunned, feeling something stuck in her throat that she couldn't swallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could reject Zhai Da's confession, but she couldn't accept Zhai Da's perfunctory rejection of her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a trace of pride on her face, she said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Student Zhai, my name is on the love letter... Yaoyao...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da thought of the chat between the two nurses earlier and said calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not right, I wrote it to Haruka Ayase.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haruka Ayase... Japanese?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I got to know her by watching discs. This is a fan letter written to her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shuyao: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people still couldn't react, but the homeroom teacher's face darkened:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhai Da, do you think you're very humorous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was a bit red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where has she ever filmed... that kind of thing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da: ...?\u003C\u002Fp>",1934,"2026-06-17T20:29:43.648Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1eab6ffb655273a3108b19cf2550921e0eaf76467d6ee0284c293bf7a62cbd96","reborn-in-2008-the-gear-obsessed-heartthrob-chapter-3","reborn-in-2008-the-gear-obsessed-heartthrob-chapter-1",326,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-2008-the-gear-system-god-cover.jpg"]
