That teacher’s figure is very good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between pushing cups and changing lamps, only one sturdy figure was focusing on eating, with both ears not hearing things outside the bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Little Fan, I just reacted! Aren't you also a Grade 3 high school student! Why aren't you taking the college entrance examination?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Junwei finished a big bowl of soup to moisten his throat and said in his spare time: \"I am taking it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people didn't know how to evaluate it, thinking in their hearts that you didn't look like a candidate at all, coming to work every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Junwei scratched his head: \"I’m just experiencing it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you are a scumbag, just be a scumbag, and still experience it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Junwei smiled and didn't argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them remembered something and said: \"By the way, Little Fan, what’s the situation with that old man who comes to watch you box every day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Junwei thought about it and said: \"I don't know... just staring at me every day, but didn't say anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s actually pretty terrifying when you put it that way. Next time he comes, I’ll stop him. He’s not even enrolled in a class, just here to mooch off the air conditioning, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One person suddenly raised his glass and said: \"Come on, let’s go, wish Little Fan success in the college entrance examination!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wish Little Fan a smooth experience!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The restaurant owner behind raised his head: \"There are college entrance examination students~, today I will give a 9.85% discount! Wish you get into 985! Drinks excluded!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it only ushered in ridicule and boos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was even more lively for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(2) days left until the college entrance examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks to the reporter’s report on the scene. I believe that this year’s college entrance examination, students in various places have made full preparations. Let us wish them together to live up to their youth and welcome a better future...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the gate of Dongyang No. 3 Middle School, inside the small shop, the students of Class 8, Grade 3, who came to step on the spot, gathered together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noisy sound of the TV became the background, and none of the boys and girls noticed that they were the protagonists in the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. 3 Middle School is so big.... If you enter the venue at the last minute, you still have to run 800 meters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The teacher said if you can't make it, you can ask any police officer, traffic police, or adult for help, and they will all help us....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My mom said she would stay in a hotel nearby tomorrow to avoid being late...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it necessary? Can you rest well in a hotel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chattering discussion relieved the tension about the college entrance examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shuyao, which university do you plan to take?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shuyao, who was distracted, shook her head: \"My third mock exam was 344, barely passing the first-tier line estimated by the teacher. I plan to take a look when filling in the application after knowing the score. But my dad said to go to a big city as much as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So envious... I would burn high incense if I could get into a public junior college...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, one person said: \"I don't know which university Zhai Da will go to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He has over 400 points, and he has been so diligent recently, maybe he has risen. Need to say? He must be aiming for Qingbei! Our school hasn't produced a Qingbei student yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not necessarily... does having a high score mean you must go to Qingbei? Don't you look at what major you like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who cares about that, it’s all based on scores! Even if he doesn't want to go, the Education Bureau has to press his head to go. Let alone our school, Dongyang County hasn't produced a Qingbei student yet...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who knows, Zhai Da is sometimes quite maverick, suddenly having such high scores, suddenly playing magic...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chattering discussion started again, only this time there was a bit more sighing in the words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably because a familiar person seemed destined to get further and further away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shuyao was distracted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(1) day left until the college entrance examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please allow me to remind you here: starting tomorrow, in all cities across the country, please do not honk your horns easily, observe traffic order, and when necessary, please provide help within your power to the candidates....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also wish all candidates to ride the wind and clouds of the era, interpret the grand with sharp brushes, move forward and encourage each other, and return with victory....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Sanmao residential area, at Zhai Da’s home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xiaoli served the sumptuous dishes on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Da, Little Wei! Come out to eat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow is the college entrance examination. She had already asked for three days off, not wanting to miss the most important day for the children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, as a middle-aged woman, Yu Xiaoli also inevitably pursued some \"auspiciousness.\" She had long ago tailored a cheongsam for herself in the factory, implying a victory at the first flag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da tried to persuade her to no avail. One could imagine what it felt like to wear a cheongsam in the summer and stand outside for a day... but Yu Xiaoli insisted on wearing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door of the small room opened, and Zhai Da and Lu Wei walked out together, both in casual home attire, shorts and short sleeves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that Zhai Da had been sitting for a long time and got up, and his clothes were stuck at the waistline of his big shorts. Lu Wei followed behind, carefully stretching out her plain hands to smooth it for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nestled in the small room for a day, Zhai Da stretched a huge stretch, and couldn't help but make a \"hmm\" sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei wasn't so thick-skinned, just elegantly and quietly exercising her wrists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xiaoli patted Zhai Da on the back, helping him relax his muscles, and reminded him not to hunch his back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up and eat, it’s not too late to study after eating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da sat down while twisting his neck: \"Not studying anymore, all the preparation work is completed, let’s relax our spirits for the rest of this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excluding sleep, there were only a few hours left. Instead of finding trouble for nothing, it was better to adjust the state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these three days, the two didn't disrupt their rhythm, still completing learning tasks step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daily effort was more important than anything else. Two skyscrapers had been built, and they were not afraid of 767.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Zhai Da felt he was terribly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xiaoli smiled: \"Whatever, you two make your own decisions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three sat at the dining table, but the TV was changed by Yu Xiaoli. The news of the college entrance examination covered the limelight of the Olympic Games in a short time, but Yu Xiaoli specifically tuned to an unrelated program to avoid pressure on the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside was still the content of the Olympic Games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da watched for a while, sighed, and turned his head. The time was not coincidental... he really wanted to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this day, he still remembered the sense of shock and pride he felt when he saw it on TV at that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the drum-beating part, it was simply blood-boiling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a pity that the opening ceremony tickets went on sale in April '07, and it was estimated to be empty in a second... otherwise, even if he exhausted his savings to find a scalper, he would be willing to take a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could only be said... even if reborn, there would be regrets, right? The '08 opening ceremony was missed, I’m afraid there wouldn't be a similar opportunity for decades, to enjoy an opening ceremony on one’s own land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While eating, Yu Xiaoli reviewed the plan for tomorrow over and over again, what time to get up, what time to set off.... She would wait at the gate of No. 3 Middle School, and take them to eat together during the gap between the two sessions...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the preparation bags for Zhai Da and Lu Wei, Yu Xiaoli also prepared one for herself, which was a backup, in case any stationery of the two was broken and there was no replacement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that she was extremely careful in every aspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating, Yu Xiaoli took the initiative to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, and said to Zhai Da: \"Don't fight with me today, if you don't study, go out for a walk. I feel like you haven't left the house for several days, take Little Wei with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da looked at Lu Wei inquiringly, and Lu Wei naturally wouldn't have any opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei returned to the room and put on white socks, stepped into her canvas shoes. Zhai Da was simple. He had a pair of slippers specifically for going out, and wore a loose autumn school uniform to fear mosquitoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two had no destination, but they wouldn't go far. After going downstairs, they circled along the Sanmao residential area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In June, unknowingly, the gardenias on both sides of the sidewalk bloomed. Whenever a breeze blew, it would bring bursts of floral fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da couldn't remember that there were such trees at the door. Maybe he could only think of it when he smelled the floral fragrance every year, and threw it behind his head after the flowers withered, just treating it as an ordinary street tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trees need to bloom to prove their identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da put his hands in his pockets, feeling that he seemed to have lost a little weight recently. Studying consumes brainpower, and most of the human body’s energy is supplied to the brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it wasn't significant. He was ready to exercise after the college entrance examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know how others arranged it, but this summer vacation, he would be very busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a deal, don't hand in the paper early tomorrow. Besides showing off, it’s meaningless. We both come out at the last minute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei had her hands behind her back, following Zhai Da step by step. Although her face was always calm, her steps were unknowingly synchronized with Zhai Da.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Canvas shoes and clean, slender calves, in the night lacking street lights, were like swinging on a swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have also practiced those essays well and memorized them. Just copy them. My topic prediction is super accurate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two just walked along the outside of the residential area, chatting aimlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow is the college entrance examination, are you nervous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Zhai Da wasn't lighthearted about tomorrow’s college entrance examination. He just wasn't nervous, but there was still a big event approaching, the excitement of the energy in his body waiting to be released.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after asking this sentence, Zhai Da knew he asked in vain. Even if Lu Wei was nervous, she couldn't identify it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head to look, Lu Wei seemed to be thinking. Although emotions were difficult to identify, the changes brought to the body and spirit were still there, just like she would blush when listening to [Dynamic MP3]. At this time, she might also be in tension and anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da stretched out his hand. Lu Wei didn't know why, and also raised a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Palm, back of hand, up-down fist, down-up fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll pass you some energy, you won't be panicked at all tomorrow, it’s guaranteed to be smooth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei nodded, thought about it, and gave Zhai Da a manual smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tall and thin girl stood on the sidewalk, standing gracefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The street lamp overhead sprinkled orange light, then was shattered by the swaying gardenia tree, turning into swaying shadows falling on her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da felt interesting: \"Do you think you should smile, or do you want to smile?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei let go of the onion-white fingers pushing her cheeks: \"Should smile... afraid you won't be happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s fine. If you feel you should do something, just do it boldly. If it’s weird, I will remind you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Zhai Da felt his hand being held, and a cold and smooth touch came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da looked at the little hand holding him: \"What about this? Should hold it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... also pass you... a little energy, is it weird?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da laughed: \"Not weird, if you want to hold it, just hold it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't struggle, and calmly accepted this energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his rebirth, he had experienced many things. Of course, the main thing was studying. He was very glad to be able to meet Lu Wei, and the two of them helped each other move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a coincidence. If he hadn't fainted in the second mock exam room after his rebirth, Yu Xiaoli wouldn't have asked for leave and ran back, and Lu Wei wouldn't have chased home to send things...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He estimated that he wouldn't care about the little dull gourd apprentice his mother had in the factory, and \"High school student Zhai Da\" wouldn't even send his mother to work...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei... might also have worked for a short time for various reasons...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly so close, but they would miss each other because of a small thing. Fate is really clever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many times will people miss each other in a lifetime? Maybe a seemingly irrelevant figure, in another parallel world, is your inseparable shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da was the one being held, but he was pulling Lu Wei forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember the first time I saw you, I felt you were a bit familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen you. Later I found out that you were the top student of the previous class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He considered himself to have found the answer, so he never asked even once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei behind didn't respond, nor did she pick up the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds of silence, Zhai Da turned his head curiously, but saw Lu Wei pursing her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei subconsciously tightened the hand holding Zhai Da.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That wasn't the first time...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da suddenly realized: \"I understand, you mean you must have bumped into each other at school, that doesn't count...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"School wasn't the first time either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom... when she left, it was the first time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da stood frozen in place. What do you mean when Mom left...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei’s mother wasn't...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, some memories that were very distant from \"Reborn Zhai Da,\" some memories that were blurred by the brain’s subconscious because of fear and physiological discomfort...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he heard people talk about car accidents, it was just a memory that flashed in his brain...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surged out...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a person becomes meat, it is actually worthless...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, young man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey~, you did the right thing, at least a little more decency...\" \u003C\u002Fp>",2653,"2026-06-17T20:38:09.169Z","2026-06-18T03:13:38.468Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a3cf469dc9ff4f2cdc4c2cbccb6bd2451bc6c906cb0b55885adb437985d7dac0","reborn-in-2008-the-gear-obsessed-heartthrob-chapter-98","reborn-in-2008-the-gear-obsessed-heartthrob-chapter-96",326,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-2008-the-gear-system-god-cover.jpg"]
