Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 56 Don't Hurt the Girl's Heart

During holidays, the catering industry is booming, which is also the busiest time for Li Yan's parents.

In addition, the day before the holiday, Li Xinyuan did not stay to arrange the meeting as Li Yan had expected, but instead ran away faster than anyone else.

The knock on the door at Li Yan's house at this moment was most likely the study committee member coming directly to the door.

As the wooden door opened, Li Xinyuan was waiting outside the iron gate in a long floral dress.

Wearing a white skirt and black leather shoes, it seems that she attaches great importance to this "relaxation" opportunity.

"I thought you forgot." Li Yan was even wearing the school uniform of Yucai Primary School.

"That's really rude. I was the one who brought it up."

Li Xinyuan tied a pink hairband, which made her look like a belated peach blossom in the still moist spring and summer.

"Qingsong Corridor, how do we get there?"

"My mom drove us."

what?
"It's just downstairs."

what? !

Li Yan subconsciously said, "Auntie, I don't think you will have any opinion about this." Li Xinyuan smiled:
"She drove us there, what can she think?"

"Then I'll go change my clothes. This one is..."

"No, just the school uniform, fine." She said softly.

I am used to Li Xinyuan's aura of 2.8 meters in the class. This kind of girl's gentleness is really...

Not very comfortable.

The time in the car was torturous. Li Yan sat in the back seat and could only look out the window with his eyes squinting.

Fortunately, Li Xinyuan was chatting with her mother in the car, so the half-hour journey was not left in awkward silence.

There was some congestion along the way. As a tourist attraction in Lincheng, Qingsong Corridor was still quite crowded during the May Day holiday.

After getting off the car, Li Yan wanted to ask them what to do if they went to relax, but then she saw the aunt waved her hand and drove away.

"We can take the bus to go back." Li Xinyuan blocked the question that Li Yan was about to ask with one sentence, "Now, let's relax."

The Green Pine Corridor is actually a riverside park, three kilometers long, built along the Rin River, from which Rin City gets its name. When it was first completed a few years ago, it was crowded with people, but now it is mainly a place for elderly people and tourists to take a walk.

Oh, there is another group - student couples.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Li Yan and Li Xinyuan are also like this...

Wearing elementary school uniform is really not a good idea.

"You seem to have a lot of concerns, Li Yan."

"It's inevitable."

"Look at the scenery. You rarely come out, right?"

"Very little, just look at the river, it's nice."

Li Yan laughed at himself in his heart. The young girls were so graceful and confident, but he, a 24-year-old man, felt so awkward.

In the sixth grade of elementary school, girls are much more mature than boys. When they talk about love, girls will consider the option of "future", while boys are still foolishly thinking about how to fight and play tricks to attract girls' attention...

The weather was not too hot, the river breeze was pleasant, and the non-glaring sunlight sprinkled on the river surface, shaking the fragments of tranquility.

"Li Yan, do you still remember that in the third grade you wrote a travelogue of the Qingsong Corridor, and Teacher Chen marked many good words and sentences."

"You remember this."

"Well," Li Xinyuan stood by the guardrail, letting the river breeze blow her hair, her eyes slightly narrowed, "I remember you used the word sparkling."

“I read it in a book.”

"I never understood what the word meant, so I went to the promenade to look for it, and it happened to be sunny that day, just like today."

Li Yan was silent, looking at the river.

"Then I thought, sparkling is a great word, and you used it very well."

"It's the work of nature."

"Your words have become very profound." Li Xinyuan raised her hand and walked in a straight line along the gaps between the marble tiles on the ground.

Li Yan followed slowly.

After walking in silence for a while, the study committee member finally spoke:

"Do you like Rincheng, Li Yan?"

"I like it." If he hadn't returned at the age of 24, his answer would probably be "I don't like it."

Li Xinyuan didn't ask why, but said, "I like it too."

Silence again.

Li Xinyuan turned her head and looked directly at Li Yan while swinging her legs. "So do you like Xinbei?"

Sure enough, this is the problem, the picture is endless... No, this word cannot be used.

"I do not know yet."

"I've been to New Taipei. It's very prosperous and has many things that Rin City doesn't have."

Li Xinyuan's eyes did not flicker, and Li Yan did not dodge at all.

“That’s why I’m going, I need a bigger platform.”

"A bigger platform... Actually, I don't really understand it, but, it's good for you, right?"

"of course."

"That's good," Li Xinyuan smiled and looked away, "You are very determined, Li Yan."

“If you are not firm, you will not be able to walk the difficult road.”

The study committee member pursed his lips, his eyes dimmed for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.

It just looks a little more unwilling.

It turns out that girls’ thoughts are not that difficult to understand. Many times, they just... don’t want to face it.

"You're going to New Taipei. Are you going to stay there?"

"If you can go, you should."

"Will you be back this weekend?"

"It's a bit far, maybe... we need to see the situation."

"Will you remember me?"

Li Yan took the sudden attack steadily:
"Of course, you are the first study committee member I know."

If this sentence were uttered in the adult world, many things would be determined.

But apparently this little girl doesn't think so:

"You will also get to know the study committee member of Xinbei No. 1 Middle School. There will be different study committee members in the future, one, two, three. Will you remember me then?"

The river breeze, accompanied by moist air, blew past the two of them.

It came at a very coincidental and inopportune time.

There is no need to create an atmosphere for this city's style.

"I remember." Li Yan sighed and looked directly into Li Xinyuan's sparkling eyes. "Li Xinyuan, the study committee member of Class 601 of Yucai Primary School."

Those bright eyes eventually dimmed.

This time there was no quick return to normalcy.

"I may not be able to go yet..." Li Yan wanted to comfort her, but when he said this, he realized that it was inappropriate and had to stop talking.

What Li Xinyuan needs now is not comfort, and Li Yan should not give her comfort.

Coincidentally, at the moment Li Yan shut up, she also made a "hush" gesture.

"You have determination, that's enough." Li Xinyuan smiled, "You will eventually leave Lincheng."

"Ah."

"You are different now, Li Yan."

"Why is it different?"

"Although I still find what you said profound. But you're not as... as... evasive as before?"

Li Yan smiled bitterly.

“Keep it up.”

Li Yan nodded.

"It's really amazing. When you came back from last summer vacation, you were like a different person. Suddenly... so amazing that I can't see it anymore. What's the saying for that?"

“It’s hard to even compare.”

"Yes, but this statement is not beautiful enough."

The two suddenly started discussing Chinese and tried to find words to describe the scenery of the Green Pine Corridor.

We were almost at the end of the Green Pine Corridor, and there were fewer people walking around.

The study committee member took off her hairband, and her signature high ponytail became loose, and there was light in her eyes again.

"Here, you're going to New Taipei City, so I'm giving you a gift. I wish you win first place in the badminton tournament!"

Li Yan took it, looked at it, put it in his pocket, searched for a long time but didn't find anything to give in return, so he could only scratch his head and said:
"Then I hope you can get into the junior high school of your choice. Work hard. I believe in you."

This sentence was the only impression Li Xinyuan left on him before his rebirth.

"You don't even know what school I want to apply to."

"Which one?"

"Keep it a secret. I'll tell you after I take the exam."

"Come to think of it, why do you make it sound like we've just graduated? Besides, I'll have a computer soon, so I can definitely add friends and chat."

"Really? That's great! Tell me what New Taipei is like then!"

……

The atmosphere became relaxed and cheerful, and the two walked along the corridor and arrived at the bus stop.

"We even got off at the same stop." Li Yan said, counting how many stops it took to get home.

"You have to sit for a while. It seems that you seldom go out."

The bus came very quickly and there were not many people on it, so they sat in the window seats, one in front of the other.

We chatted idly along the way.

Time passed quickly and it was time to say goodbye - even though they could barely be considered neighbors.

"Li Yan!" Li Xinyuan suddenly called out to Li Yan who had just turned around.

"The river is sparkling today, so beautiful."

Damn it! Primary school student Li Yan wanted to stay in this moment, but was pulled away from this second by 24-year-old Li Yan.

He remembered that teacher Chen Wenjing had explained the meaning of "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight" in class.

Girls do mature precociously. If my previous self had experienced this, I would probably have complained that strolling along the corridor was boring.

She even complained that Li Xinyuan had copied her own words "sparkling" and got angry.

But now...

“It’s quite beautiful.”

It’s not that he wanted to ruin the atmosphere, he just didn’t want to cause any misunderstandings, and at the same time, he didn’t want to hurt the girl’s feelings.

　Did you have someone you liked when you were in elementary school, especially when you graduated?
　　Do you remember any story?
