Chapter 2(1/2)
Now we’re starting from scratch
It was like having an extremely long dream.
In the dream, Chen Zhihe went to college, met Duan Yao, and then went to the Magic City.
Many memory fragments fly by quickly like a movie.
Then the picture became faster and faster, filling my mind like colorful lines.
In the end, all the lines merged into a bright light, filling Chen Zhihe's mind.
Chen Zhihe tried hard to open his eyes, and the sun hit his face.
He squinted his eyes, shook his head, and tried hard to remember something.
"Is this in a hospital?"
As his consciousness slowly connected, Chen Zhihe wanted to raise his hand to block the sunlight hitting his face.
But his hands didn't obey the command, like a ghost pressing down on the bed. He could feel the presence of his hands, but he couldn't move them, and the world was silent.
I do not know how long it has been.
It was as if the limbs were connected to the brain. In an instant, everything around him came alive, and various sounds came from far to near.
Raising his hand to block the sun, Chen Zhihe began to look around.
Strange yet familiar.
This is the dormitory in high school?
Um.
Yes.
Chen Zhihe's memory seemed to be awakened, confirming this fact again.
"Buzz buzz"
It was the cell phone alarm clock that rang.
Following the ringtone, Chen Zhihe found the cell phone under the pillow.
Familiar Nokia, the time is displayed on the phone screen.
10:00.
Suddenly, Chen Zhihe's eyes opened wide, as if he had seen something very strange.
In addition to showing that it is ten o'clock in the morning, the date column clearly reads:
2009/2/2.
…
It took a long time for Chen Zhihe to accept the result of his rebirth.
He tried pinching himself and it hurt.
He suspected it was a dream because everything was too real.
Until someone came into the dormitory.
Chen Zhihe had just put on his clothes and was sitting on the bed in a daze.
"Hey, Zhihe, why are you in the dormitory? Lao Zhang asked you just now."
Looking at the person coming, Chen Zhihe instantly remembered who the other person was.
Duopu, Tao Yong.
"Maybe I have a cold and overslept. School has just started and I haven't gotten used to it yet."
Chen Zhihe touched his forehead, yes, it was hot.
"Do you want me to take a leave of absence for you? I'll come and get some clothes. It's too cold in the classroom. I can't bear it. I'm a senior in high school and I still have to do recess exercises."
As Tao Yong spoke, he took out a down jacket from the cabinet and put it on.
"I feel much better. I won't do any exercises and will go back to the classroom."
It was only now that Chen Zhihe was convinced that he had indeed been reborn. It was not so difficult to accept. Then came a thought - "I have missed many opportunities and done many things in the past ten years. I really need to do it again."
If you have the opportunity, you should live a wonderful life no matter what, without leaving any regrets."
After Tao Yong left, Chen Zhihe followed him out. Following the path in his memory, he found the classroom of their class.
Along the way, Chen Zhihe's mind was a little excited, and countless ideas came to him. He thought of countless wonderful futures.
Until he walked into the classroom.
A very real problem lay before him.
Where is his seat?
Fortunately, everyone was out for exercise at this time. Using the elimination method and some vague memories, Chen Zhihe found his seat.
The seat is next to the window, and outside the window is the corridor.
Sitting in his seat, Chen Zhihe looked at his desk, picked up a book and flipped through it, and then began to look around the classroom.
Then……
He saw the college entrance examination slogan in the upper right corner of the blackboard.
It’s so uncomfortable!
There are still 124 days until the college entrance examination. The time is too tight. Apart from a bunch of legal knowledge, high school knowledge and basic basics, I can’t remember anything in my head. What should I do?
It definitely won’t work if you don’t take the exam.
No one understands the importance of academic qualifications better than him.
But how to take the exam?
Chen Zhihe was also a little confused for a moment.
After the recess exercises, the students returned to the classroom one after another. The next two periods were English classes.
The classmate Lin Qingxuan asked Chen Zhihe lightly why he didn't come in the morning, but he excused him by saying he had a cold. When the school bell rang, Lin Qingxuan didn't ask again.
Speaking of which, Chen Zhihe found his own position by finding Lin Qingxuan's position.
He had a very deep memory of this beautiful and outstanding female classmate, who always had a Doraemon water glass on her desk.
Chen Zhihe clearly remembers that throughout his senior year of high school, his deskmate was Lin Qingxuan.
He was able to sit at the same table as Lin Qingxuan because his mother was related to the class teacher. He was poor in English, so he arranged for Lin Qingxuan, who had the best English score, to be at the same table.
As for puppy love, the teacher did not shy away from it. He never imagined that an outstanding person like Lin Qingxuan would fall in love with Chen Zhihe, and even Chen Zhihe never thought about it.
This is indeed the case. After graduation, Chen Zhihe never heard from this classmate again, but later he heard that she went to the United States to study after graduating from high school.
Class begins.
The English teacher, a middle-aged woman, walked in with a stack of test papers.
"This is a mock paper I got back from the city. I will take a test today." Then he directed Lin Qingxuan, the English class representative, to distribute the test papers.
Chen Zhihe came back to his senses when he saw the test paper still smelling of ink in his hand.
There shouldn't be any problem with my English. I have passed CET-6 in college English at least. In addition, during the years of work, I have received a lot of foreign investment cases and foreign clients. I have not put down my English, especially listening and reading, which are much better than now.
I started to listen to it, and after finishing the first question, Chen Zhihe had a clear idea.
He could hear every sentence on the tape recorder clearly, and he was very good at answering the questions.
The first class passed, and when the bell rang for the second class, everyone was still looking at the test papers, writing something from time to time with the pens in their hands.
Except Chen Zhihe.
He himself was a little surprised. He actually finished it in one hour?
He checked it again carefully and found that except for a few single-choice questions about tense that he was not sure about, he felt that everything else was correct.
Chen Zhihe handed in his paper in advance.
Because he was too hungry, he definitely didn't eat breakfast. I don't know if he had eaten last night. He felt that he finished the questions so quickly because he was hungry.
When I stood up to hand in the paper, many people looked up and continued to do the questions. Chen Zhihe was very ordinary, not handsome in appearance, and his grades were average. Such people often have the least sense of existence.
Only Lin Qingxuan glanced at her with some doubts. She hadn't seen her deskmate for the whole winter vacation, and he seemed to be a little different.
Chen Zhihe explained the reason to the English teacher in a low voice. He was feeling unwell and had a cold and needed to go to the infirmary.
The teacher saw that Chen Zhihe's face was a little pale, then looked at the full test paper and nodded.
Walk out of the classroom and go straight to the cafeteria.
The cafeteria should be open now, but I don't know if the food is ready.
He felt that he needed to make some plans, and the English test he had just taken gave him a little confidence.
Chen Zhihe was admitted to Jiangcheng University just one year after he was a repeat student. He took the college entrance examination twice. In the first college entrance examination, he barely passed the first grade.
