Chapter 8: Sweet Unrequited Love

  All the way, Tong Xinfeng looked at Liu Yifei with an extremely worshipful gaze, making Liu Yifei's whole body covered in goosebumps. He immediately took the initiative to tell him several combo methods, and after Tong Xinfeng remembered them, he burst out laughing and ran towards the game hall.

  Watching Tong Xinfeng shaking his big butt, Liu Yifei couldn't help but secretly smile. The young man didn't know the taste of worry, and it wasn't until he needed to use what he had learned that he regretted not having enough. In school, he wouldn't have understood the meaning of these words. In his past life, he hadn't studied hard in high school, so he only got into a vocational college. Not only did he waste money, but more importantly, he didn't have a good diploma, and when he was looking for work, he hit a wall everywhere, and the hardships he suffered were too many.

  Since he was reborn, Liu Yifei naturally wouldn't let the same thing happen again. Although he knew that the education system now is useless in his future work, the diploma is still very important. You can't make society adapt to you, so you have to adapt to this society. Liu Yifei isn't a rebellious youth, so he could only use the opportunity of rebirth to study hard and read books well. In his previous life, he didn't adapt well to this society, but this time he must do it perfectly.

  Tomorrow is the exam, and there's not much time left for Liu Yifei, so he doesn't expect to make rapid progress in today's half-day, nor does he hope to get a high score. What he wants most is to familiarize himself with the textbook, which seems too distant and even somewhat unfamiliar to him.

  But at this time his grades should be very poor, even if he took a little worse, it's probably normal.

  As he walked up to the classroom door, Liu Yifei's heart tightened again, and after scanning the people inside the classroom, everything seemed unchanged from when he had left earlier.

  He walked back to his seat, picked up the book and Liu Yifei felt a bit dazed. In his previous life, he hadn't studied seriously at this time, and when he went to university, he was even more indulgent in playing around. There were some subjects that he hadn't even opened the books for, not only had he not gained any knowledge, but he had also forgotten most of what he learned before high school. After starting work, he did study some professional knowledge seriously just to make a living, but those were still rarely related to the knowledge in high school.

  Now holding that math book and looking at those exercises, Liu Yifei felt like he was reading a heavenly book, not to mention forgetting everything, but definitely couldn't even remember the formulas.

  It's not Liu Yifei's fault, after all. The books were thrown away for so many years. Even if it was a truly good university graduate, picking up a math problem from elementary school 5th or 6th grade, normal people would probably need to think about it for a while before remembering. As for high school exercises, they are unknown how many times more difficult. Wanting to pick it up so easily is really too difficult.

  At this time, there were more people in the classroom and the voices of conversation had also increased. Liu Yifei also put down his book and looked at those classmates. From their conversations, Liu Yifei's memory gate was slowly opened, and he quickly recognized several classmates.

  This also made his heart somewhat excited, at this time the relationship between classmates was very simple, perhaps in the student era they had not said a few words together, but once met after growing up, it was all very cordial.

  Accompanied by a crisp and clear sound like the tinkling of silver bells, two girls walked into the classroom. Liu Yifei's book slipped from his hand and fell onto the desk with a thud. His eyes were fixed intently on one of the girls who was speaking, and at that moment, there was only that girl in his eyes, and only her voice in his ears. It seemed as if nothing else existed between heaven and earth, leaving only the elegant figure of that girl.

  Liu Yifei finally knew why he felt inexplicably tense when he entered the classroom, because he had been thinking of seeing someone, a girl, someone he had secretly loved for two years in high school... He Yuanyan.

  He Yuanyan, Liu Yifei's high school classmate, had excellent academic performance and was always among the top three in her class. Her family conditions were also very good, with her father being the deputy head of the district and her mother doing business on a relatively large scale, employing more than 20 people at that time.

  Good grades, good family background, plus a naturally beautiful face, not only the object of admiration for boys in the class, but also the object of admiration for many boys in the school. However, because He Yuanyan's conditions were too good, the boys who pursued her had to weigh their own worth. At that time, high school students were not as pragmatic as those after the 20th century, so many excellent and handsome boys who pursued He Yuanyan did not succeed. Ordinary boys didn't even have the courage to write a small note to her.

  He Yuer just ignored those boys' enthusiasm, and basically all of them were rejected. After entering the third year of high school, basically no one pursued her anymore.

  Liu Yifei was well aware of his own conditions, and although others looked decent, they were still a little inferior to the handsome ones. His height was around 1.78 meters, but he lacked several centimeters to be considered tall and majestic. Moreover, after high school, his studies became a mess, and the distance between him and He Yuexuan grew further apart. Therefore, during high school, he suppressed this unrequited love deep in his heart, and by the time they went to college, they had lost contact. This had always been a deep regret for Liu Yifei. As an adult, he considered these memories as beautiful nostalgia, but now that he could see He Yuexuan again, his heart couldn't help but feel complicated.

  At this time, He Yuanyan was wearing a light yellow tight-fitting T-shirt and white casual pants that were spotless. On her feet were a pair of Adidas sports shoes. The clothes and shoes on her body were all high-end brands, and it would be hard to find a few people in school who dressed like this. It wasn't just the value of the clothes, but also the person wearing them. He Yuanyan's delicate melon-shaped face, curved eyebrows, big eyes, and mouth corners that always slightly curled up, exuded strong confidence and a hint of pride. Her height of 1.68 meters was tall and proportionate. Such a beauty, even if Liu Yifei had lived for 16 more years and seen many beauties, he would still be heart-struck when seeing He Yuanyan.

  "Hmm!" Liu Yifei was admiring He Yuexuan, but saw that He Yuexuan glared at him with her eyes, then turned around and sat down in the seat diagonally in front of him.

  Liu Yifei was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately understood why he had been given the cold shoulder. The way he had stared at He Yuanyan was impolite even in the 21st century, let alone in a high school in 1994.

  Seeing He Yuanyuan completely evoked that kind of youthful infatuation. At that time, just looking at He Yuanyuan twice a day would make my heart feel like a deer in the forest. If I could talk to He Yuanyanan for two sentences, it would be even sweeter. Sometimes, I would even deliberately play some pranks on He Yuanyanan, and even if she got angry and scolded me, it was still exciting. It all boiled down to wanting to have more contact with her.

  The girl who came in with He Yuanyan was now sitting beside her, turned her head and looked at Liu Yifei again, and whispered to He Yuanyan: "Yuanyan, Liu Yifei has been looking at you all the time."

  Her name is Li Ya, she's He Yuexuan's good friend from junior high to high school, and her family has some background too. However, in terms of looks... He Yuexuan is like a rosebud waiting to bloom, while Li Ya is the green leaf beside that rose, perfectly complementing its beauty. Liu Yifei remembered He Yuexuan, the rose, so he also didn't forget Li Ya, the green leaf.

  He Muyan furrowed her brow at this time, usually those boys would secretly glance at her, if their eyes met, they would immediately retreat. She liked this feeling, but Liu Yifei dared to stare at her today, what's more infuriating was that she glared at him, yet he smiled back at her, seemingly not embarrassed in the slightest, instead leaving her somewhat flustered.

  In his heart, he secretly cursed: This bastard Liu Yifei, usually causing trouble for himself, and not even bothering to hold a grudge against him. Now, he actually dares to look at me with such audacity, if I don't retaliate, this kid will think I'm afraid of him.

  Li Ya's face was filled with indignation as she said, "How dare he look at my Yuexuan like that? I'll go teach him a lesson."

  He Yu Yan raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Forget it, read your book. The mid-term exam is tomorrow, why are you still so concerned about other things?"

  Li Ya curled her lip and said, "Hmph! That guy put a caterpillar in your pencil case two days ago, he's asking for it."

  He Yuanyan's body trembled slightly, and her face suddenly turned a bit pale.

  "What a despicable guy, he just dared to look at you like that, it's clearly provocation." Li Ya seemed to be extremely annoyed whenever she mentioned Liu Yifei, her small mouth chattering non-stop.

  He Yuanyan didn't say anything else and started reading a book instead. Li Ya mumbled something under her breath and also picked up a book.

  The two voices were not loud, but also not whispering. Liu Yifei was now intently listening to their conversation and had already heard about seven or eight of it. When he heard the thing about the caterpillar, his heart suddenly remembered something, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

  That time, Liu Yifei secretly put a black caterpillar into He Yuanyuan's pencil case. When He Yuanyuan opened the pencil case, she was suddenly frightened by the caterpillar and cried out loudly, with tears streaming down her face. As a result, Liu Yifei almost got punished, but for some reason, the matter was dropped. It wasn't until later that it became clear why He Yuanyuan didn't pursue the matter further.

  Now, looking back, Liu Yifei only felt how childish and ridiculous she was. Such things could be done, but why not pursue them openly? Why use those boring tactics? However, the ambiguous emotions of her youth suddenly rushed to her mind, which was also very sweet. At this moment, she had a sudden urge to turn that youthful infatuation into reality.

  It seems that his image in He Yanyan's heart has already been very poor, and it would be extremely difficult to regain it.

  Soon, Liu Yifei smiled again and his body turned into a 17-year-old. His mindset changed instantly, and he actually cared about He Yuexuan's opinion of him. It was just a dream from his youth, and when he woke up, everything would become a thing of the past. He Yuexuan was not on the same path as him, and they would never walk the same road together.

  It's just... even though I still have a 17-year-old body now, but I've been reborn. Do I still need to follow my original path?

  It's obviously impossible, so why can't he just follow He Yuanyan on the same path and catch up with her to make up for that regret from his youth...
