Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 11: A Beautiful and Kind-hearted Study Committee Member

Do you still remember the feeling when the summer vacation in elementary school ended and the new semester was about to begin?
Most people should be very disappointed, the carefree days of playing every day are gone, and they have to return to the miserable life of doing homework every day. A small number of people will feel excited, missing their good friends in class, or not wanting to be disciplined by their parents at home every day - these people often start to regret when they are woken up early in the morning by their parents or alarm clocks on the second day of school.

But it is rare to see someone like Li Yan striding into the campus with his head held high and eager to do so.

"The elders always said that school days were the easiest time, and I would miss them later, but I would sneer every time I heard them. But when I really had the chance to go back and do it again, I realized how wonderful studying really was."

Yucai Primary School is not a good school even in the small city of Lincheng. It is small, poorly equipped and weak. There are only two classes in each grade. The whole school has only one "L"-shaped five-story teaching building. The so-called playground is the open space surrounded by the teaching building. The only treatment of the playground is to apply cement.

There isn't even a marked court, let alone luxuries like basketball hoops.

Even so, these children still enjoy playing badminton using the cement joint line as a boundary.

Li Yan, who was still sighing, "The biggest lesson mankind has learned from history is that mankind will never learn lessons", suddenly had someone put an arm around his shoulders. It turned out to be the little fat boy Lin Zhiyuan.

"What are you doing at home? You didn't play when I asked you to, and you didn't come when we went to sing. We already have all those Happy Boys songs, and Zhang Ming sang well. He's really famous."

Happy Boys? Because his family didn't allow him to watch TV, Li Yan was not very sensitive to the trends of TV. He had only heard about the craze that Happy Boys had set off this summer. As for singing, going to KTV was no different from hanging out in bars in his parents' eyes, and it was basically a forbidden behavior for elementary school student Li Yan.

In fact, before his rebirth, he didn’t go to KTV for the first time until high school.

Seeing Lin Zhiyuan's somewhat indignant expression, Li Yan just smiled indifferently: "If you sing well, you should be in the spotlight."

"Why are you pretending to be so great?"

The two of them entered the classroom while laughing and joking. Zhang Ming, who was surrounded by a group of people, glanced at the door and his originally cheerful smile suddenly changed. The students around him also turned their heads away stiffly, pretending not to see Li Yan and Lin Zhiyuan.

"I don't know what these guys are plotting."

In the past, Li Yan would probably shake his head and tell his best friend, "Don't think too badly of others." But now he is sighing in his heart:

"It turns out that children are so bad at hiding their emotions. Lying to their parents back then was like a public execution."

Just as he put his schoolbag down on his seat, Lin Zhiyuan approached him mysteriously again: "We went to sing a few days ago. Zhang Ming organized it. Almost all the class committee members went, except for two. One was you, who was impossible to show up, and who do you think the other one was?"

Li Yan was still experiencing the wonderful novelty of sitting back at an elementary school desk with a 24-year-old mind, and responded perfunctorily.

"is her!"

Following Lin Zhiyuan's finger, I saw a petite girl sitting in the second row.

She has a high ponytail, fair skin, a pretty face, and is petite and cute. She is the girl that the boys in the class dare not look directly at. She is the top student among the girls in the class, the study committee member and the class flower of Class 601 of Yucai Primary School - Li Xinyuan.

Oh...her. Li Yan's memory came back a little, but he only remembered that when he graduated from elementary school, the study committee member gave him a card with the words "work hard, I believe in you" written on it, and nothing else.

Because she performed poorly, she failed to get into the junior high school of her choice and had to obey the assignment to go to an ordinary school. There was little communication between them afterwards.

Why did he perform poorly? What school did he go to? He couldn't remember, Li Yan shrugged. To him, the greatest significance of the name Li Xinyuan was the "second place" that always followed him. If there was anyone in Yucai Primary School who could give him pressure in his previous life, it would be this study committee member.

But it was obvious that Li Xinyuan, who was recognized as "beautiful and kind" in the class, was very special to Zhang Ming. "That day, the idiot He Han asked Zhang Ming why Xinyuan didn't come, which made Zhang Ming angry."

Chen Wenjing, the head teacher and Chinese teacher, had not yet appeared, but Li Xinyuan walked up to the podium leisurely. Although she had a cute face and a petite figure, she had an aura of 2.8 meters under the education of her parents who were public officials.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Teacher Chen asked me to collect the summer homework first. Please ask the four group leaders to collect it."

Unlike most quiet girls with excellent grades, Li Xinyuan's behavior can be described as graceful and generous. In addition, she has a strong family background in the small town and is favored by her teachers. Regardless of whether she is a boy or a girl, a good student or a poor student in the class, they all give her some face.

There was only one exception: Li Yan, who always performed better than her in every exam.

At this moment, Li Xinyuan was the team leader of Li Yan's group. She stood in front of him holding more than ten heavy summer homeworks. "Li Yan, where are your homeworks?"

With an inexplicably smug expression on his face... Li Yan was helpless, because he had the golden medal of getting first place in the grade in the final exam, and one year he saw boxes full of homework books like garbage in the teacher's office, so he didn't want to waste his precious vacation time on summer homework.

The homework battle for winter and summer vacations is quite long, and Li Yan’s parents forgot to check this matter when he kept telling them “I’ve done it, I’ve done it”, but it can’t be hidden when he gets to school.

Unexpectedly, when he came back from winter break in the fourth grade, Li Xinyuan faced him with empty hands and said nonchalantly, "This homework is too easy for you, so just don't do it."

This was not said in secret, so Li Yan, who was only in the "good guy" circle at that time, had no idea that the scandal between him and the study committee member had spread to every corner of the class. The saying "Li Xinyuan is beautiful and kind-hearted" also began to spread from then on.

"I knew you didn't..." Li Xinyuan was too lazy to watch Li Yan's actions, and was about to collect Lin Zhiyuan's homework while speaking.

"Give."

The classmates around were all shocked.

"The sun is rising from the west?" Lin Zhiyuan was particularly surprised. "You won't just be doing your homework at home in the end, right? Not really, Mr. Yan?"

Li Xinyuan took it in a daze. There were already more than thirty question books stacked in her hand, and she looked a little tired holding them.

It was natural for the 24-year-old Li Yan to notice this, but it was a miracle back then. He suddenly stood up, took the question book from the study committee member, put it on the podium, and walked back to his seat:

"The notebooks are too heavy. Put them aside when you have collected most of them. The boys in the back row will help carry them to Teacher Chen's office."

Yes, Li Yan is not only the top student in the class, but also the deputy monitor.

He sat down peacefully, and Lin Zhiyuan beside him didn't dare to say anything. The girls around him began to talk, and the boys in the back row began to smile meaningfully. Li Xinyuan beside him blushed slightly.

Zhang Ming in the back row maintained a stiff expression, trying his best to hide his restless heart.

Only then did Li Yan realize that the little things she had thought were natural seemed a little out of the ordinary.

But he didn't have much mood to care. When he really integrated into the life of primary school with his 24-year-old mind, he really felt the difficulty. For a social animal who has been struggling in the society, primary school students are really...

"Too childish..."
