CH 11.1

Monday. 

Xu Youyou finally stopped wearing the thick down jacket to class. Although she still wore a sweater different from everyone else in the classroom, she wasn’t bundled up because she was afraid of the cold. Her pale face finally has some color and when she walked into the classroom it brightened. 

During the morning study period, Qiao Mu even saw quite a few male classmates look at Xu Youyou. However, Xu Youyou did not notice at all, she continued to just lazily sleep. 

The second period of the morning was the homeroom teacher’s math class. As soon as Teacher Song entered the classroom and saw the recovered Xu Youyou, he had someone call her into his office the next class. Aftering showing a bit of care, he began to talk about Xu Youyou’s studies. 

Xu Youyou actually had already mentally prepared for this. Since she had rebirthed to her first year of high school, it of course meant she would have to go through high school all over again. And after the homeroom teacher confirmed that she had recovered well, he went to find the other subject teachers. From now on Xu Youyou could not sleep peacefully in class anymore. 

Luckily Madam Ji and the homeroom teacher did not have much expectations for her grades, she just needed to maintain a decent grade. There wasn’t too much pressure on her.

And so another week passed and Xu Youyou slowly adjusted. In the end she was in a sixteen year old body, her memory and learning ability was a lot stronger than her twenty six year old self. After reading or listening to the facts a couple times, she slowly began to understand it. Sometimes, she would even remember key points which she had learned before. 

“Qiao Mu, will Grandmother be home tomorrow?” Friday was a day off, Xu Youyou has asked Qiao Mu as she began to pack her bag. 

Qiao Mu looked at Xu Youyou in surprise. 

“Grandmother Qiao helped me find my way last time, and even treated me to delicious food. I prepared a gift for her and want to give it to her this weekend.” Xu Youyou explained. 

“Thank you, but it’s alright.” Qiao Mu declined. 

“It’s not for you, why are you thanking me?”

“……” Qiao Mu’s lips curled and could not find a response. 

“It’s settled then. I’ll go around dinner time so I can also get a meal. I’ve been eating take out all week, I’ve gotten tired of it.” Xu Youyou complained quietly. 

Qiao Mu was speechless, wanting to give a gift was fake, wanting a free meal was real. 

But if she were to go, Grandmother would probably be happy. And thinking about it, Qiao Mu didn’t have any further objections. He grabbed his backpack and began to walk away. 

The two of them, one in front and one behind walked outside. Just as they got to the entrance of the school, they heard an uproar far away in front of them. It seemed as if something had happened. 

“That is No. 1 High School’s most handsome student, Li Xiuran”

“This is my first time seeing him in person. He really does have the aura of an ancient figure. He’s like a fairy.” 

“I heard that his grades are not only excellent but he is good at playing Weiqi as well. He may compete in the dan* competition this year.” 

“What is a dan competition?”

“Only by successfully completing a dan competition can you become a professional Weiqi player. And you won’t need to take the Gaokao.”

“You don’t need to take the Gaokao? That’s great.”

“Why did he come to our school?”

When Xu Youyou heard the word “Weiqi” she could not help but look at Qiao Mu. But Qiao Mu seemed as if he didn’t hear a thing, his head was down and he continued walking forward. Seeing that he had no reaction, Xu Youyou didn’t say anything. Except when they exited through the school gate she curiously took a peak towards Li Xiuran’s direction. 

No. 1 High School and No. 7 High School’s uniforms were different. No. 1 High School’s style and cut were significantly better than theirs. Not to mention Li Xiuran’s figure was already quite good. Looking at him, he was pretty handsome even Xu Youyou felt that her eyes brightened when she saw him. 

Although he wasn’t her type, everyone loves beauty. 

Right as Xu Youyou saw him, Li Xiuran’s eyesight wandered in their direction. His eyes brightened and his face lit up with excitement. He quickly made his way over. 

My goodness, there were so many people watching him, why is he coming in my direction?
