Don't be quick to judge if you see something unreasonable; there will be explanations for everything~ I want to write a serious, non-fast-food style \"cool\" novel, and I hope everyone enjoys reading it.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, Chen Nuo felt his body was not as good as before after the age of 30.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment, he felt that rebirth was truly a man's savior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guess what I wrote?\" In the darkness, Chen Nuo's voice was warm and thick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop it~\" The woman giggled, her laughter soft and breathless, \"Little rascal, where do you get so many tricks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guess, guess what I wrote.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Sun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, sun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tossing and turning for nearly the whole night, Chen Nuo still woke up at six the next day. In just three hours, his body was once again full of vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt around in the darkness for a moment; early in the morning, he was quite energetic again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled with satisfaction, then rolled over to sit on the edge of the bed and began to put on his clothes in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman's jet-black hair spread out on the snow-white pillow, like ink sprinkled on snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the movement, she turned over and asked vaguely, \"So early~ where are you going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo reached out to turn on a bedside lamp and bent over to put on his shoes: \"To morning study.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What study?\" The woman heard an unexpected term, her sleepiness vanished by more than half, and she propped up her body, looking over in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo finished dressing and stood up: \"Morning study.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman sat up abruptly, her eyes wide, not even noticing that the quilt had slipped down, revealing a patch of glistening, alluring skin, \"Morning study? How old are you this year?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she forced a laugh: \"You're teasing me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her eyes, the boy's facial features were sharp and angular. He didn't have the look of a \"pretty boy.\" The curve of his cheeks leaned toward a Western aesthetic, yet it didn't lack softness; his eyebrows were thick and black, and his eye sockets were deep, making him look very three-dimensional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked very manly, but he was indeed young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, those skilled techniques from last night—how could they look like those of a high school student?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not teasing you, the one with me last night is my desk mate.\" Chen Nuo smiled at her and went into the bathroom to wash up, his mood exceptionally good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the first day of summer vacation until today, he had been reborn for almost three months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these three months, he had been studying hard; it was just that last night he wanted to balance work and rest, so he skipped evening study, snuck out of school, and went to an internet cafe with Wang Jia to play CS.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He met this woman at the internet cafe, and as they chatted, they felt that playing with fake guns in CS was boring, so they eventually opened a room together and played for real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beauty, bye.\" After the night, Chen Nuo had no intention of dragging things out; he said goodbye and walked out the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the hotel, he walked toward the school at a leisurely pace and finally stepped into the classroom right on time with the bell for morning study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The classroom was full of students, but almost no one was studying; those who wanted to chat were chatting, and those who wanted to sleep were sleeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this vocational high school, although the regular class he was in also needed to take the college entrance exam, as for the study atmosphere, there was no need to expect much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo walked to his seat in the third-to-last row and sat down, casually patting Wang Jia on his buried head, \"I bought you fried dough sticks, want some?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A muffled voice came from the head, \"Eat. Wait a second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo placed the plastic bag containing the fried dough sticks on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, brother,\" Wang Jia took the sticks down, lifted his face, and said with sleepy eyes, \"I'm not like you who can play with real guns; I can only go play CS. After playing all night, I have nothing but sleepiness. You finished, and now you're messing with me? Do you have any sympathy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo had been desk mates with Wang Jia for two years at this school. This person didn't continue his studies after finishing vocational high school, and seven years later, he stabbed someone over a relationship issue. Chen Nuo didn't know about it at the time and only heard about it later at a class reunion. The victim was severely injured and disabled, and he got 15 years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Wang Jia was still just an ordinary virgin and internet-addicted teenager. He sat up straight and said with some envy: \"That beauty yesterday was so pretty, Brother Nuo, was it great?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eat your fried dough sticks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That little nurse was indeed quite pretty, especially for a green young boy like Wang Jia; that pair of long legs wrapped in black silk was enough to haunt his dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this trick was ineffective on Chen Nuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he used to be a \"scumbag.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, in 2004, this vocabulary didn't exist yet. But ten years later, the moment the word \"scumbag\" was invented, almost everyone who knew him said so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In 2003, when he was in his second year of high school, he transferred to this small county to attend vocational high school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was that the city key high school he originally attended suddenly had a piece of news that was neither big nor small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It started because the parents of a female student came to the school to find the dean, saying that a first-year boy was having a puppy-love relationship with their daughter who was in her third year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This originally wasn't a big deal, just a matter of criticism and education. But later, someone leaked the boy's name, and unexpectedly, four or five more parents of female students came forward one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole school was in an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although that boy was considered a legend for a time, he couldn't continue studying there with that reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That boy was Chen Nuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In 2003, because of a woman's jealousy, he left his hometown, took the few thousand in monthly living expenses given by his father Chen Bi, left the city key school he had paid a high price to get into, and went to a vocational high school in a county below to drift through life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, he wasted two years of his life there, doing nothing but chasing girls and playing games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, from then on, he never did anything serious in his entire life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because his grades were bad, he didn't get into college. He could only go back and work under Chen Bi, becoming an idle rich second generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had too many girlfriends, he never married in his life, had no fixed residence, only knew how to have sex, and didn't know what true love was. Finally, in that era of internet traffic, he suddenly discovered a talent he had hidden for decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was his exceptional camera presence; he could cry when he needed to cry, laugh when he needed to laugh, and he could get into character very quickly. Give him a short drama script, and after two or three minutes, whether it was a domineering CEO or a street thug, it was no problem; he could play anything convincingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He became famous for shooting short videos, relying on his ability to act cool in front of the camera and perform in short dramas, accumulating millions of fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were also many \"haters,\" and almost every man who followed him was cursing him, saying that besides being handsome and showing off his wealth, he was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was indeed the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he was stabbed to death by a hater at the door of his own garage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stab brought Chen Nuo back 20 years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up to now, he had been reborn for nearly three months and had been studying hard at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had never attended college.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, Chen Bi and his mother Pan Chengrong had argued over this more times than he could count, and it was also one of the reasons for their eventual divorce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long ago, after the first monthly exam of the third year of high school, after two months of hard study, he soared into the sky, jumping from 63rd in the class in the final exam of the previous semester to second in the class, with a total score of 623, attracting the attention of many classmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, after seeing his grades, Chen Nuo excitedly ran all the way to the office and asked his head teacher, Mr. Wang: \"Jiaotong University or Fudan? Can I get into Tsinghua or Peking if I push a little harder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Wang smiled with indulgence and said only one sentence: \"Go back and memorize your vocabulary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From then on, Chen Nuo had a strong opinion of Mr. Wang and didn't really want to talk to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, today is the day the county-wide unified exam results come out, right?\" Chen Nuo suddenly remembered and asked Wang Jia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jia yawned and said: \"God knows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No learning, no skills,\" Chen Nuo said earnestly, \"I advise you to study hard; studying is the right path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jia said: \"You think I don't want to study? But I'm not you. You can score over 600 after two months of hard work, but I still can't master the jump-shot after two months of hard work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo laughed and was just about to comfort him, but before he could say anything else, the head teacher Wang Aiping entered the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Aiping puffed out his big belly, looking quite happy. He walked onto the podium and smiled: \"Students, quiet down. Taking advantage of the morning study time, I want to announce some good news. The results of the county-wide unified exam are out. Two students in our class have achieved excellent results in this county-wide exam! They are Chen Nuo and Zhang Mo, let's give them a round of applause!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The applause was thunderous, and the students looked over one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo was happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, heaven rewards diligence. His hard study finally paid off. This feeling was like finally getting a girl you've been chasing for a long time to nod and agree to date you; it makes one feel that life suddenly has hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Chen Nuo, he didn't want to chase girls or make money right now. He didn't want anything; he just wanted to get into a university, fulfill his undergraduate dream from his previous life, and make up for his mother's regrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Wang Aiping with full expectation, waiting for him to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The applause died down, and Wang Aiping smiled and spoke again, \"Zhang Mo, first in the grade, 393 points. Chen Nuo, 351 points, fifth in the grade. They both achieved high scores of over 300. I won't announce the scores of the other students. If you want to know, you can come to me after class to check. Alright, everyone continue with morning study.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, he turned his head and asked Wang Jia: \"What did Mr. Wang say I scored?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"351. Brother Nuo, awesome. You're handsome and your grades are so good, no wonder so many girls love you, so flashy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flashy your mother! How is that possible?\" Chen Nuo was both shocked and angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had worked so hard and diligently for these few months, and he only scored 351 in the end?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there no justice in this world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it did feel like the exam didn't go very well that day, but... falling from over 600 to 300, almost a 50% drop? Is this A-share stock trading?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's the point of 300-something? Damn it, it would have been better to score 250; at least he could laugh about it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I also think it's impossible,\" Wang Jia sighed, \"When will I be able to be like you and score 300-something to bring honor to my ancestors?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you shut up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo was now very panicked and also very doubtful about life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Wang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After morning study ended, Chen Nuo immediately chased after Wang Aiping, \"Mr. Wang, let me ask, 351, is it true? Did I really score 351?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Aiping said with a smile: \"Yes, 351. Great progress, you should be happy. In the previous batch, there wasn't even one person in my class who scored 300. Two of you in this batch did, I'm very gratified.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which eye of yours sees me happy? Chen Nuo's heart surged, and he gritted his teeth: \"But, Mr. Wang, didn't I score over 600 in the last monthly exam? Why...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Aiping patted his forehead and said: \"Ah, the monthly exam questions are usually written by us teachers, haha, they were a bit simple... Keep it up, there's still more than half a year. Work hard, according to your current level, push a little more. Getting into a junior college is possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Push your big head! I'm working myself to death just to get into a junior college, and it's only \"possible\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, I want to transfer schools.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo discovered that his college plan after rebirth had encountered a huge crisis. After just one day, he took out his Nokia 3100 and called his father, Chen Bi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Transfer schools? You're already in your third year of high school and you want to transfer?\" Chen Bi asked back in confusion, \"Did you get into some trouble again? You didn't... do something again, did you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do something again? No, I just feel there's no future in this school. I want to take the art exam!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Art exam?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I want to go to Jingcheng, I want to take the entrance exam for the Film Academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pacing of the first few chapters is a bit slow, please bear with me. It will get better later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2398,"2026-06-21T01:34:38.888Z","Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","5bbb669f6b69563726b3baed9bfa819bdf85d43f0e481f743c75b1b57a11e6e9","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-2",null,491,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--cover.jpg"]
