Chapter 34: The Last Evening Self-Study of High School Life!

~6 min read 1,159 words

Generally speaking, to set up the examination venue, the three days before the College Entrance Exam officially arrives are all holidays.

Not only do high school students get vacation, but even some schools selected as examination venues, whether elementary or university, also follow suit and get vacation.

So this short three- or four-day period passes in a flash; it seems like in the blink of an eye, time has already arrived at the last evening self-study of high school life.

In other words, this is also the final class of high school life.

When school let out at noon and in the afternoon, Li Mingyang had already taken back almost all the books in the classroom to his home.

When he entered the classroom again in the evening, his seat was completely different from before, spotlessly clean.

Just like when he first entered high school, when he first started freshman year, it made Li Mingyang, even having lived two lives, unable to avoid feeling a bit dazed.

"In the blink of an eye, I've been back in this era for almost a year!"

He silently sighed in his heart, looking at the familiar surroundings around him, Li Mingyang's feelings were truly like a spilled condiment tray.

When things didn't go well in his previous life after entering society, he had also wondered whether he could restart like the protagonist of a novel.

But he never expected such an opportunity to actually befall him; he not only was reborn, but even came with a Golden Finger!

After that, he began to study diligently, and in the blink of an eye, the time had already arrived at the final class of high school.

Although over these 200-plus days everything is vivid in his memory, when he truly arrived at the last lesson of high school classroom, Li Mingyang still couldn't help feeling dazed.

Even in his heart there arose an absurd illusion: perhaps this isn't really a so-called rebirth at all, but merely a dream he's having?

"What are you thinking about? So absorbed! Could it be that you're missing some girl?"

Accompanied by a crisp slap sound, a burning sting shot through Li Mingyang's back; without turning around, he knew it had to be that scoundrel Luo Yuan.

Feeling this genuinely real sting that made him involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air, Li Mingyang immediately tossed the thought he'd just had aside.

To hell with dreaming—dreams aren't this real!

Rather than waste time on such nonsense, it's better to properly adjust his condition and prepare for the College Entrance Exam three days from now.

But……

Compared to the College Entrance Exam far off in three days, there is something even more important right now, namely……

Sigh!

First, he let out a pretentious sigh, which instantly drew the attention of Luo Yuan, that scoundrel who was always ready to flee.

"What's up with this? Could it be that I actually hit the mark? You bastard, you couldn't really have such thoughts, could you?"

"Or perhaps, like in a novel, this is a secret love that ends without illness?"

With a hint of gossip and a curious look in his eyes, Luo Yuan approached with a smug grin, even forgetting the most basic vigilance.

Seeing this, a flash of pleased satisfaction crossed Li Mingyang's eyes.

Finally, he raised his right hand in a swift, unstoppable motion and slapped—*pa*!

The clear sound even produced an echo in the classroom!

Holy shit!

Accompanied by a blurted-out expletive, Luo Yuan's face instantly flushed red, as if a mouse had crawled up his back, and his hands kept fumbling around his back.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing this, Li Mingyang burst out with a wicked laugh.

Let you, you bastard, sneak attack your adoptive father—now you know what it means for a dad to beat his son, right?

Little Luo Yuan also wants to flip out the original Five Finger Mountain? Ridiculous!

"It feels like everyone's really relaxed tonight; look, those few are even openly pulling out their phones to play."

After a small interlude, the two close friends quickly signed a peace treaty, agreeing to halt their mutual harm and instead present a united front outward.

"Hmm, indeed, we ought to take a photo to commemorate this, right?"

Following the direction Luo Yuan pointed, sure enough, a few guys were openly gathered together, pulling out their phones to play games.

With a face full of solemn criticism, Li Mingyang, under Luo Yuan's stunned display, also splendidly pulled out his own phone.

"Well you, thick‑eyed big‑eyed guy, you actually secretly betrayed the class, betrayed the revolution! You even brought your phone to school."

Seeing this, Luo Yuan's reaction was nothing short of heart-wrenching!

However, the next second, he saw this guy seamlessly switch to a smug grin and swiftly pull out his own phone.

Even while pulling out his phone, he also produced a PSP that Li Mingyang knew all too well.

"As a former underachiever, I feel we really need to savor the feeling of being a poor student once more in this high school's final class."

"I haven't seen this thing in ages; if it hadn't popped up while I was tidying today, I'd have even forgotten I once owned such a gadget."

At the end of his words, Luo Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at Li Mingyang:

"Monster Hunter or Grand Theft Auto? Pick one!"

And upon seeing this battle‑scarred PSP, Li Mingyang likewise couldn't help but smile.

Recalling their sophomore year, the two of them used to sit like this in the back row of the classroom, not caring what class it was or whether they were even attending.

From the moment they entered the classroom in the morning, the constant clacking of buttons from the back rows never ceased.

Even to play games more comfortably, they pooled money to buy two spare batteries……

"Grand Theft Auto, I recall our mission wasn't exactly finished, so we could attack other factions' territories, right?"

"It seems we used to have a dream of unifying the world; why not just take care of it right now during this final evening self‑study?"

"I remember there are plenty of cheat codes online, right?"

"Then we'll just start driving tanks while flying planes, or just slap on a health‑lock cheat; I don't believe a whole evening self‑study can't achieve this little goal."

And then……

Under the gaze of many classmates staring in disbelief, both Luo Yuan and Li Mingyang once again reverted to their former underachiever selves.

Sitting in the back row of the classroom, playing was utterly enjoyable.

Even their attitude became more arrogant than before; not only did the button‑clicking never stop, but from time to time they also let out a few exclamations.

It feels as if this place isn't a classroom, but rather like being at home.

"Damn, you noob, even with cheats you can die—hurry up, hurry up, this round is mine!"
