helmet, with a shadow in his heart, immediately dispatched his reconnaissance forces to discover that Su Cen wasn't being modest but was completely unpredictable. The reconnaissance force found him at...Chapter 56: Meeting

"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip. Schelter Eryang, Liu Rui, Lin Zouwu, Wang Weiwei, Suen Lanran, as well as other boys and girls from class seven and five who were in the same social circle, were all present, full of enthusiasm but also with a hint of melancholy.

Schelter Eryang laughed heartily, "When we were little kids, Su Cen was the most reserved yet secretly mischievous among us. We first smoked cigarettes when we graduated from elementary school on the rooftop; he brought out a pack of cigarettes that he had stolen from his father. In the end, Liu Rui and I both got hooked on it, but surprisingly, he didn't continue smoking! Now that I think about it, I feel even more infuriated with this guy!"

Liu Rui was not one to miss an opportunity to爆料 (make a revelation), "Another time, we were living in the old buildings. You guys probably don't know, back then every household had a coal stove outside their door. Regardless of summer or winter, they would put a kettle on it for boiling water. During the New Year when we got lucky money, Su Cen led us to buy firecrackers and placed them inside each neighbor's coal stove after removing their kettles. The most evil part was that before he left, he knocked on every door, causing everyone who opened their doors to be greeted by a hallway filled with flames running amok."

The group couldn't help but burst into laughter; Lin Zouwu curled up on the couch laughing uncontrollably, while Wang Weiwei shook his head and smiled slightly. The girls present were also holding their stomachs from laughter.

They had never experienced such a life in an old courtyard building like this before, yet they found this kind of childhood to be incredibly fresh compared to theirs. Although the mischief was different, it seemed that reliving carefree days brought back fond memories.

A girl frowned and asked, "Is Sun Man the hostess of the school TV station at No. 27 High School Last year's 'Teen Boys & Girls' magazine featured her on its cover with an introduction; there was even a student in our class who had friends at No. 27 High School who said he saw this girl when he visited Chengdu during his holiday, saying she looked better in real life than in the magazine."

Schelter Eryang scratched his head and replied, "Yeah, it's her; as soon as this guy arrived, he caused trouble. It ended up being exposed on the school TV station, and indeed, wherever he goes, there’s never a quiet moment!"

The girl who had just spoken pursed her lips, "My friend says Sun Man is actually very easy to talk to; she's kind-hearted, capable, and gentle. She would only get into trouble if Su Cen overstepped the boundaries."

Although Schelter Eryang disagreed in his heart, he didn't feel right arguing with a girl. He could argue fiercely with boys but tended to lower his guard when it came to women. "Maybe so, but later on, this guy saved a girl who was about to jump from a building and got praised by No. 27 High School for it. Our grade teachers are still talking about this; this kid hasn't made our high school look bad at least.

Someone remembered something and said, "Right, what about Tang Wu She's now one of the top students at No. 27 High School. Is their little romance at No. 1 High School true Who likes whom

"So now, they're at the 27th Middle School, but there's no news about them. Could it be that due to the significant differences in their new environment, they've inadvertently drifted apart"

"Who knows There are so many talented boys at the 27th Middle School, and Tang Wu is so beautiful and outstanding, she must have quite a few admirers. As for Su Can, hmm, it's definitely dangerous."

"Forget it, let’s not talk about this. I still keep in touch with him. Besides, there are plenty of students who transferred from our school to the 27th Middle School before, so we can always stay updated on their latest developments. Wang Weiwei, you guys have something that makes us envious—being able to run around while attending a school! Don’t forget to kick Su Can’s butt when you go over there and remind him to come back for a visit!"

The group continued drinking and chatting, singing songs and sharing some funny stories about school life and the boy at the distant 27th Middle School. Of course, not all topics revolved around Su Can, even though he was unforgettable as the person who left.

Wang Weiwei sang a song, passed the microphone to the next person, stepped out to the door, pulled out his phone and dialed a call.

Picking up on the other end, there came the sound of biting an apple. "Weiwei, what’s going on"

"Nothing much, it’s our farewell party. We’re about to leave now, but I feel unbalanced. Our farewell party is so much smaller compared to when you left, nothing like the impact of smashing someone else's club. But everyone had a great time, and they’ve shared quite a few funny stories from your childhood."

Su Can laughed, "That must be Schuyi Yang’s doing. He always likes to dig up my old stuff to highlight himself. You guys aren’t being superficial, are you"

Wang Weiwei chuckled, “We’re definitely all being superficial together. Go ahead and look down on us.”

At this moment, Wang Weiwei turned around, put the phone on speaker mode, cutting off the music. There was a brief silence as everyone collectively looked at him with disdain, "We all think you're superficial!"

Picking up his phone again and holding it to his ear, Wang Weiwei said smugly, “Did you hear that This is my solid backing.”

“I suddenly realize you’re pretty annoying.” After a moment of stunned silence from the other end of the line, Su Can’s voice muttered.

Wang Weiwei didn't feel offended at all; instead, he shamelessly chuckled twice and walked to a quiet corner where he said, "Previously, we were worried that you would be at a disadvantage when facing Zhao Chengyan. Now it seems like the one who should worry is Zhao Chengyan himself. He shouldn’t have tangled with you. I heard that in school, he basically avoids you. How did you make Zhao Lijun act on your behalf"

When Wang Weiwei first received this information, he didn't dare to believe it. He knew Zhao Lijun's character and background; considering their status as mere high school students, even if he was Wang Bo's son, asking Zhao Lijun to take action on his behalf in such matters would be nothing more than a fairy tale. While something happening to him might mean that his father could cover for him from above, using his father’s connections to get things done wasn't within his capability.

Su Cun, leaning against the sofa with a book in hand under the light and munching on an apple while answering the phone, smiled and said, "It's nothing special. It was just a coincidence. There’s no need to talk about it."

"I know that you’ll find a way," Wang Weiwei chuckled. "Let me get them to say something for you."

Before Wang Weiwei could finish his sentence, Lin Zouwu grabbed the phone from him with one hand and said loudly, "Hahaha! Su Cun, I miss you so much! Lin Luoran misses you too!"

Then out of nowhere, a long leg belonging to Lin Luoran came flying at Wang Weiwei’s chubby bottom, kicking him away. She shouted, "Get lost! Don’t be ridiculous! Do you believe that I’ll strangle you"

Su Cun held the phone slightly further from his ear and rubbed it while saying, "Little Five, my condolences for having such a sister."

The intermittent silence on the other end of the line made Su Cun’s heart sink as he sat by the window in Chengdu.

True to expectations, after some time passed, an extremely gentle and spine-tingling voice whispered softly, "Yes, Su Cun, I suddenly miss you very much. I want to see you."

The call was then abruptly ended.

A while later, the phone rang again and Lin Zouwu’s voice came through: "Su Cun, you have the right to remain silent, but regarding everything you just said on the internet, I personally express my deep condolences."

In the height of summer, the ground felt like a steaming hot stove, making the leaves on the roadside paulownia and ginkgo trees appear even more lush and vibrant, as if they were about to ooze with moisture.

The quiet forest path. Occasionally, one could see several cars speeding through the medical university's gardens, stirring up fallen leaves on the ground; many college girls in light summer clothing could also be seen walking along the small road under umbrellas, and even the wind carried a slight damp heat, causing the green grass to sway.

Zeng Na came out of her dormitory building. She looked very delicate when she saw Su Can, and she smiled at him before gesturing for him to come over. "Why are you two still standing there Come with us this way."

At that moment, the somewhat thin, rather scholarly-looking young man next to Su Can, who wore glasses and did not seem to fit any of the terms related to being a campus heartthrob or popular male student no matter how one looked at him, carefully examined Su Can. Recalling their awkward mutual sizing up online just now, he felt slightly embarrassed.

Su Can smiled back but was puzzled in his heart.

Zeng Na saw the two people she had originally been waiting for, who were not very familiar with each other and were now somewhat awkwardly standing together. She introduced them: "Su Can, this is Di Songqi; you can call him Brother." Then to the other side, "This is my cousin brother, Su Can."

"Nice to meet you," Di Songqi quickly extended his hand in a rather bookish manner and shook hands with Su Can before saying to Zeng Na, “Your brother looks very handsome.” He seemed somewhat evasive from looking directly into Su Can’s gaze.

“Thank you for your praise, Brother,” Su Can also shook his hand.

The appearance suggested that Di Songqi had a special relationship with his sister. However, what puzzled Su Can was why Zeng Na would bring someone who might or might not be her boyfriend when she finally managed to find the time to visit him at the medical university.

Su Can knew that after this rebirth, many things were different from before; the predictions he made in his previous life about people around him and their fates had shifted. In his previous life, his sister got married, had a child, and her husband was one of her college classmates. Although their marriage might not have been extraordinarily passionate, it could endure through the passage of time.s of the student council, if she were to hand over her position to someone she personally selects, it would bring her greater peace of mind.Recently returned and having just filled up a cup of water a...
