Shenghai, a Greek holiday, is a high-end bar located in the bustling business district of the Bund.
There was a heavy rain at midnight, but it did not dampen the frenetic atmosphere of the nightclub at all.
Amidst the bright lights and feasting, pairs of handsome men and beautiful women were twisting their bodies wildly and unrestrainedly to the deafening DJ, and the air was filled with the strong smell of hormones.
Su Zelin sat in a VIP booth with an expressionless face, a Fuchun Villa cigarette in his mouth, looking indifferently at his companions who were having a great time.
He had no interest in hunting for beauties; tonight he was just attending some business social events.
A fragrant breeze blew in his face, and a female internet celebrity who was slightly famous on Douyin sat down next to him quietly.
She had on delicate makeup, deep dark purple eyeshadow, fiery red lips, and long legs wrapped in black stockings under her hip skirt, blooming silently under the flickering laser lights.
"Boss Su, it's nice to meet you tonight, shall we have another drink?"
The female internet celebrity had charming eyes and raised the crystal glass in her hand in a coquettish voice.
The Lafite wine in the glass looks even more blood-red against the brightly colored nail polish, bringing a strong visual impact.
This young boss is a well-known bachelor in the circle.
He is young, promising, imposing, tall and straight, a real hunk, and the ideal partner of many women's dreams.
Su Zelin glanced at her indifferently.
The female internet celebrity has a good appearance and is good at dressing up, so her overall score can reach over 85 points.
With his rich experience in indulging in women, he could take this woman away tonight if she wanted.
However, Su Zelin politely refused: "No, Miss, I have something to do tomorrow morning!"
The female internet celebrity did not give up. She leaned close to Su Zelin intentionally or unintentionally, and a strong and rich scent of perfume wafted from her hot and sexy body.
"Boss Su, tomorrow's work can be done tomorrow. I think we should do something else tonight, such as enjoying life while we can."
She was almost half lying on Su Zelin's shoulder, breathing sweetly.
Su Zelin frowned, looking at the heavily made-up snake-like face, and felt a deep sense of boredom for no reason.
"Sorry, it's a bit stuffy, I'm going to go out for some fresh air!"
He pushed away the other person's hand holding the crystal glass without leaving a trace, stood up, pushed through the densely packed guests, and walked straight out of the bar, leaving the female internet celebrity behind with an embarrassed look on her face.
Outside, it was raining heavily, with lightning and thunder. The boundless darkness was like a giant beast with its bloody mouth wide open, squatting on the earth. The neon lights in the city were dimmed under its might.
The air was not so turbid anymore, but Su Zelin stared into the distance with a gloomy face. His mood became more and more depressed, as if his chest was being pressed down by an invisible rock.
A few years ago, on a rainy night like this, Qin Shiqing discovered that she was having an affair. She turned around and rushed into the rainstorm without hesitation, and never came back.
He walked out onto the road like a zombie, letting the big raindrops hit his face.
A little cold.
After a while, his whole body was soaked, but he was unaware.
“Boom!”
A loud thunder suddenly exploded not far away, and Su Zelin woke up from his dream.
He was inexplicably furious and raised his middle finger to the low sky: "Fuck you, kill me if you dare!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another strong white light fell from the sky.
It hit him right on the spot.
In the last moment before losing consciousness, Su Zelin suddenly remembered the oath he had made.
"Qin Shiqing, if I fail you, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
…
"Zelin, wake up!"
Su Zelin raised his head dazedly.
This is an old classroom.
The wooden desk in front of me has been passed down for who knows how many generations. It is already covered with scratches. The lines of small words carved on the table silently narrate the passing of time.
Where there is a will, there is a way!
I must be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University!
Bai Xiaolei, loves tiger oil!
morning!
Frieza, I'm mad!!!
Lakers championship, gogogo!
…
Tsk, tsk, tsk…
The iron-blade ceiling fan above my head was turning quietly, and the bearings, which had been damaged due to age, made a piercing noise from time to time due to high-speed friction.
Dozens of gazes fell on Su Zelin at the same time. Their owners were young faces that were once familiar but had long faded in memory.
Su Zelin's eyes opened wide, his face full of disbelief.
Isn’t this the classroom of Class 2, Grade 12, Jianglan Middle School
Am I dreaming
But why is this dream so realistic
He bit his tongue hard.
Hiss, it hurts!
This is not a dream!
Could it be that I was reborn
At the podium, a female teacher wearing gold-framed glasses had an angry look on her face.
He Lisha is the English teacher of Class 2, Grade 3, but she prefers her students to call her by her English name, Lisa.
She looks a bit like Lisa Rong in the TV series "Love Apartment", with a pretty face, fashionable clothes and a plump figure, just like a ripe peach, which is very attractive to the young boys in the class.
"Student Su Zelin, please read and translate the exercise paragraph I just mentioned!"
Lisa was furious. She was known for her serious and strict teaching, and this student actually dared to sleep soundly in her class!
"Su Zelin is so bold. Teacher Lisa's class is also so outrageous!"
"Hey, don't tell me, there is nothing this kid dare not do."
"The college entrance examination is coming soon, doesn't he feel any pressure at all?"
"… "
Everyone was whispering and talking.
A pale-faced man with glasses sitting on the left side of Su Zelin had a look of gloating on his face.
Su Zelin still looked confused as he hadn't fully figured out the situation yet.
Until someone poked him under the desk.
This is a dark and thin boy with an unremarkable appearance and a simple and honest face. He is the type of person who would hit several similar people if you threw a piece of bricks at them on the street.
His high school deskmate and best friend Lu Haoran.
The two have a deep friendship and are in tune with each other.
Seeing Lu Haoran secretly extending three fingers, Su Zelin immediately understood.
The third paragraph!
There was a crumpled information paper on the desk, and Su Zelin had just fallen asleep on it.
He quickly found the third paragraph of the reading comprehension, cleared his throat, and began to read it fluently.
"Some people are pessimistic when they think about the future. They say that, a hundred years from now, we will have used up most of the earth's resources... "
After reading it, he translated it casually: "This passage means: 'Some people are pessimistic when considering the future. They say that in a hundred years, we will have exhausted most of the resources on the earth...'"
Before his rebirth, Su Zelin's business expanded overseas, and he learned excellent English, with an IELTS score of 8.0.
In his eyes, high school English is about the same as elementary school level.
After listening to Su Zelin's interpretation, Lisa couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
This reading comprehension section was quite deep and contained many obscure words, but surprisingly it did not stump the boy.
His translation was perfect. What surprised the female English teacher even more was that Su Zelin's American spoken pronunciation was extremely standard, with natural and smooth intonations without any awkwardness, almost comparable to some beautiful Chinese people she had met before.
This is not the level that high school students should have!
As far as she knew, the boy was a slacker in the class and was lazy in studying. Although he was smart and had a talent for English, his grades in this course were only slightly above average.
The teacher wanted to punish the student, but her goal was not achieved and she felt a little embarrassed.
At this time, Su Zelin spoke again: "Teacher Lisa, because the college entrance examination is approaching, I have been very anxious and exhausted. I couldn't sleep last night. I just couldn't hold on and fell asleep. I'm really sorry!"
The conversation was still completed in English. While finding an excuse for himself, it also gave the female teacher a way out.
Lisa was even more shocked.
This boy spoke eloquently and he could even mention vocabulary and grammar that do not even appear in high school English textbooks!
The others were completely confused and didn't understand what was going on.
After a while, Lisa came back to her senses and coughed dryly.
"On the eve of the college entrance examination, many people are anxious and it is normal for them to have poor sleep quality at night. I hope Su Zelin can relax and adjust his work and rest schedule!"
Su Zelin performed at such an amazing level that she couldn't make things difficult for him anymore, so she just stepped down.
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Teacher Lisa. I will try my best to overcome it!"
As soon as Su Zelin sat down, Lu Haoran gave him a thumbs up.
Zelin is a kid who has never worked hard. He works for three days and rests for two days, just wasting his time all day long. Yet his English is so good. Smart people are just different!
"Thanks, Mouse!"
Su Zelin nodded slightly at him.
"Well, Zelin, the college entrance examination is just over a month away. You should stop reading novels with a flashlight in your bed at night, right?"
Lu Haoran hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and offered some friendly advice.
Su Zelin stayed up late last night, reading an urban novel in his bed with a flashlight. In some passages, there were more ellipsis marks than words.
Lu Haoran thought that this was the culprit that caused his deskmate to sleep in class.
Su Zelin nodded, but his mind was absent-minded.
Well, is there still more than a month left before the college entrance examination
This time point should be the early summer of 2000!
Su Zelin made a quick judgment.
I looked up at the countdown to the college entrance examination hanging next to the blackboard. There were only thirty-five days left.
That’s right!
Before his rebirth, he was the president of a large company in Shenghai. Now, he returned to the time before liberation overnight. However, Su Zelin didn't care at all. Instead, his heart was filled with joy and excitement.
To him, certain people and things are more important than money!
Even if you are as rich as a country, you cannot make up for many regrets.
Now I have a chance to make amends!
"Ring, ring, ring..."
As the bell rang, everyone stood up.
"Class is over. Boys and girls, see you next time!"
"Goodbye, teacher!"
As soon as the female teacher walked out of the classroom, the girl sitting in the front seat turned her head.
This is a pretty face that can be happy or angry. The oval face is symmetrical and full, with smooth lines, and a pair of bright eyes adorning it, as clear and pure as the sunny summer sky. The exquisite double braids fall down to the round shoulders, matched with thin straight bangs. The fresh hairstyle outlines a light literary style, with the beauty of this era that is unique to "water lotus emerging from clear water, naturally without any decoration".
"Su Zelin, did you really have insomnia last night?"
The girl slightly parted her cherry lips, her voice was sweet and graceful, soft as jade, like a breeze that suddenly passed through in the hot summer, which could instantly calm a restless heart.
Su Zelin stared at the girl with complicated eyes.
Qin Shiqing, his neighbor and childhood sweetheart.
Before his rebirth, he had cheated on this girl, leaving her scarred and bruised.
What’s even worse is that Su’s father, who was too ashamed to face his old neighbor, severed his relationship with his son in anger and never had any contact with him again.
This is something that Su Zelin will regret for the rest of his life!
Since God has given me a second chance, I, Su, swear that I will never be a scumbag to Qin Shiqing again in this life!
Su Zelin thought secretly in his heart.
But asking him to remain loyal and unwavering is harder than climbing to heaven.
Su Zelin is a person who is extremely eager for novelty. He yearns for freedom and unrestrainedness. His unruly temperament is almost engraved in his bones.
It is absolutely impossible for him to stay with only one woman for the rest of his life.
In his previous life, Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing had been together for a period of time, and he had hoped to change himself and manage this relationship well.
However, he was at a loss what to do in that situation, and with too many desires around him, he was like a bunch of delicious fish jumping around a greedy cat. It was too difficult not to steal some fish, and in the end, he let his childhood sweetheart down.
My temperament will not be completely different after being reborn. If I try again, I will probably still not be able to control myself and the same thing will happen again.
However, there are other ways to avoid being a scumbag to Qin Shiqing.
That is to keep her away from a scumbag like me!
Su Zelin quickly came up with an idea.
The college entrance examination is just over a month away, and I still have some impression of some of the questions I took in my previous life.
As long as a little bit is revealed intentionally or unintentionally before the exam, with Qin Shiqing's grades, it is certain that she will be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University.
By then, she and I will be separated by great distances, each living a happy life, and there will no longer be any entanglement, so naturally it will be impossible for me to cheat on her again!
However, before that, you must enjoy this time, keep it in mind, and regard it as the best memory of the graduation season!
