Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, New Year's Day of 1987 is about to arrive.

In the ancient and culturally rich Yenching University, the Department of Economics is busy preparing for an unprecedentedly grand and eye-catching New Year's Eve party.

It was the coldest time of the year, and the biting wind was howling and freezing, but this could not dampen the eager anticipation of the students of the Department of Economics for the party. They were looking forward to the coming of that special night with great joy, and they were looking forward to weaving beautiful and unforgettable memories together under the bright lights and melodious music.

As a well-known scholar in the Department of Economics, Zhong Yuemin has won the admiration and love of many students with his unique personality charm and teaching methods.

Zhong Yuemin's classes are always packed with students. The classrooms are packed with people, and even the corridors are crowded with students who come to take the class. His humorous and witty teaching style always makes students laugh.

At the same time, Zhong Yuemin can impart complex and profound economic principles to everyone through easy-to-understand and in-depth explanations, so that every listener can benefit greatly.

For this reason, when the students heard that the New Year's Eve party was about to begin, they could not contain their excitement and rushed to extend a sincere invitation to Zhong Yuemin, earnestly hoping that he could take the time to attend and celebrate the arrival of the new year with everyone.

"Professor Zhong, you must not be absent from the party! We are all looking forward to spending this happy holiday with you!" said a cheerful and lively student with a smile on his face and enthusiastically.

"That's right, Professor Zhong. If you weren't here in person, our New Year's Eve party would be much less exciting!" Another student nearby quickly echoed him, his eyes full of earnestness.

Zhong Yuemin smiled, his eyes slowly swept across the expectant faces in front of him, then his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing his signature smile. Zhong Yuemin smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Oh, I said you guys are almost good enough, if you keep praising me like this, I will really believe it!"

As soon as Zhong Yuemin finished speaking, the crowd burst into cheerful laughter, as bright as flowers blooming in spring.

At this time, a girl came forward, looked at Zhong Yuemin seriously and earnestly, and said softly, "Teacher Zhong, we are speaking from the heart. We sincerely hope that you can come to this New Year's Eve party."

Hearing this, Zhong Yuemin pretended to be hesitant, reached out and gently touched his chin, and responded thoughtfully, "The New Year's Eve party is a happy time for you young people. Look at me, I'm already old, how can I join in the fun? Are you going to let me, the so-called 'greasy uncle', be your background?"

After saying this, Zhong Yuemin winked mischievously, with a playful look on his face.

Zhong Yuemin's humorous words once again caused everyone to burst into laughter.

One of the boys laughed so hard that he fell backwards. After he finally stopped laughing, he panted and joked, "Haha... Professor Zhong, what you just said is so classic! 'Greasy uncle' - well, I have to remember this word well, maybe it will come in handy in the future!"

Another girl next to him also quickly agreed. "That's right, Professor Zhong, don't be so modest! In terms of age, you don't look much older than us. It will definitely be fun to attend the party with us!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Zhong Yuemin was surrounded by waves of laughter. He could clearly feel the ardent and sincere enthusiasm of the students coming from all directions, which was like warm sunshine, instantly dispelling the coldness of winter.

Zhong Yuemin looked at those energetic and smiling faces, and his heart was surging. He knew very well that in this vibrant group, the role he played was not just that of an ordinary teacher.

To these lovely children, he is not only a close friend in whom they can confide their innermost thoughts, but also an important guide who can point the direction of their lives.

At this time, the noise died down a little, and Zhong Yuemin showed his signature smile again, and said in a gentle and infectious voice, "Okay, okay, since everyone is so enthusiastic and kind, if I continue to refuse, wouldn't it be too unkind? So, you can also invite other teachers. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to go."

As soon as he finished speaking, an even louder cheer broke out from the crowd. The students were extremely excited and their anticipation was beyond words.

Then, Zhong Yuemin raised his voice and announced solemnly, "Well, I promise you all that I will be there as promised on the New Year's Eve!"

This promise was like a bombshell dropped into a calm lake, causing huge ripples.

The students were so excited that they danced and cheered one after another. In their minds, they had already imagined the beautiful scene of Professor Zhong chatting and laughing with everyone at the party.

Because they know that as long as Professor Zhong is present in person, this already highly anticipated evening party will be filled with more joy and surprises, becoming even more exciting and unforgettable.

With Zhong Yuemin readily agreeing to attend the party, the preparations for the Economics Department's New Year's Eve party entered the final sprint stage.

Students from each group worked hard and threw themselves into the busy preparations, striving to make every detail perfect to ensure the success of the party.

Ever since Song Xiangjun moved back to this familiar land, Zhong Yuemin's heart has been involuntarily drawn to the direction of her home. However, the delay in the visit always makes him feel inexplicably disappointed.

The sun was particularly bright that day. Zhong Yuemin came back from school and deliberately took a long detour. His pace quickened unconsciously, and there seemed to be a voice in his heart urging him. Finally, he arrived at the gate of Song Xiangjun's house.

At a glance, Zhou Jingyi was seen patiently helping two little ones learn to walk. These two little guys were none other than the siblings Song Siqi and Song Sihai.

The two little guys walked unsteadily, with innocent smiles on their faces. They were almost one year old, and they looked exactly like Song Xiangjun.

Zhong Yuemin stood not far away, watching all this quietly, with an inexplicable emotion in his heart. At this moment, Xiao Siqi stumbled, failed to stand, and fell heavily to the ground.

Zhong Yuemin rushed forward, stretched out his big hand, and lifted up little Siqi steadily.

"Little girl, did you fall?" Zhong Yuemin asked with concern.

Little Siqi stared at Zhong Yuemin with her big watery eyes, curiously. She didn't seem to understand the pain, but was just curious about this stranger who suddenly appeared.

Zhou Jingyi then noticed Zhong Yuemin standing beside her. She said in surprise, "Hey, Xiao Zhong! When did you come? Come in and sit down."

Zhong Yuemin scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "Auntie, I just arrived. Seeing how cute these two little guys are, I couldn't help but take a few more glances."

Zhou Jingyi smiled and patted his shoulder. "Xiangjun would definitely be happy if she knew you were here. Don't stand at the door. Go into the yard and rest for a while."

Zhong Yuemin responded to Zhou Jingyi with a bright smile on his face, but his eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet and drifted involuntarily towards Xiao Siqi and Xiao Sihai.

The two little guys were seen blinking their big round eyes, like two crystal clear gems inlaid on their pink faces; their chubby cheeks were plump and extremely cute, they were just like the smaller versions of Song Xiangjun, making people unable to help but love them.

"Oh! Look at my eyes. I was so busy playing with the child that I didn't even let you go into the house to rest for a while." Zhou Jingyi smiled a little shyly and apologetically, and gently shook her arms to coax little Sihai in her arms.

At this time, Xiao Sihai seemed to feel the cheerful atmosphere around him. He made a babbling sound and waved his two little hands in the air, as if he was warmly welcoming Zhong Yuemin's arrival.

"Auntie, please don't say that. It's all my fault. I came in a hurry and didn't say hello to you in advance." Zhong Yuemin said as he walked forward quickly. He reached into his pocket and fumbled for a while, then took out a beautifully wrapped candy like a magic trick.

Zhong Yuemin handed the candy to Xiao Siqi with a smile on his face. Xiao Siqi's big black eyes instantly widened and she stared at the colorful little thing in front of her with curiosity. After hesitating for a moment, she stretched out her chubby little hand and carefully took the candy.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Little Siqi mumbled incoherently, her tender voice as sweet as the sound of nature. From what she said, it was obvious that she felt that one candy was not enough and she wanted more!

"Xiao Zhong, are you here to look for Xiangjun?"

"It's okay, Auntie, I'm just passing by." Zhong Yuemin had a bright smile on his face. As he spoke, he walked naturally to the stone bench in front of the gate and sat down lightly.

At this time, Zhong Yuemin's attention was attracted by Zhou Jingyi who was playing not far away, and Xiao Siqi and Xiao Sihai beside her.

The two little guys were seen taking small, wobbly steps, and they looked so cute trying to learn how to walk. Zhong Yuemin's mouth curled up slightly, and he watched with interest.

Not long after, Song Xiangjun appeared in her sight. When she saw Zhong Yuemin sitting on the stone bench, she was a little surprised, and then she walked up quickly and asked curiously, "Hey, Zhong Yuemin, why are you here?"

Zhong Yuemin quickly came back to his senses when he heard the voice. He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and replied with a little embarrassment, "Um... I, I just happened to pass by here and saw Xiao Siqi and Xiao Sihai learning to walk here. I thought it was quite interesting, so I couldn't help but stop and watch for a while."

After hearing this, Song Xiangjun rolled her eyes at him in annoyance and muttered to herself: This guy can't even lie. This road is not the only way to his home. How can it be such a coincidence? Who would believe him if he said it was just on the way?

However, Song Xiangjun did not expose Zhong Yuemin on the spot, but just said lightly, "Since you are here, come into the yard and rest for a while."

Zhong Yuemin waved his hand quickly, stood up and said, "No, no, there are some things waiting for me to deal with at home, I have to go back quickly."

Song Xiangjun curled her lips and snorted, obviously not believing Zhong Yuemin's excuse, but she couldn't force anything. So, she turned around, picked up little Siqi, and walked towards the gate of her house, twisting her waist like a proud peacock.

At this time, Zhou Jingyi, who had been watching silently at the side, saw this situation and said to Zhong Yuemin with a smile, "Xiao Zhong! Then I will take Xiao Haichen back first!" After that, she picked up Xiao Haichen on the ground and slowly walked towards the house.

Zhong Yuemin nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, Auntie, take care!"

After watching Zhou Jingyi walk into the yard, Zhong Yuemin turned around and left this place full of laughter with brisk steps.

On the morning of New Year's Day, snowflakes were erratic, seemingly scattered. They touched the ground lightly, but melted into water droplets in an instant, leaving only wet traces.

Although the snow had not accumulated, the sky remained gloomy and a chilly air current hung in the air, reminding people that it was a winter festival.

The school's New Year's Eve party was in full swing in the classroom. The teachers sat in the front row, forming a unique landscape.

Zhong Yuemin is an enthusiastic person. He brought a few bottles of Erguotou and, together with Liu Yansong and several other teachers sitting next to him, drank happily from an enamel jar while enjoying the performance on the stage.

The aroma of wine filled the whole classroom. Some students were attracted by the alluring aroma and followed the teachers' example by going out to buy wine. Soon the classroom was filled with the strong smell of wine.

Xie Min was a teacher with a strong sense of responsibility. She couldn't help but say to Zhong Yuemin and the others, "If the people from the Academic Affairs Office see you like this, you will definitely be criticized."

Yang Hao is usually an honest person, but at this moment he couldn't help but speak. "It's so cold in the classroom, there's not even any heating. What's wrong with drinking some wine to keep warm?" His words caused a burst of laughter, and the atmosphere became even more lively.

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help laughing when he heard what Yang Hao said. He said jokingly, "Look, our most honest teacher Yang has spoken. Don't be restrained, drink as much as you can, and enjoy this youthful time. Whose youth is not passionate?"

Zhong Yuemin's words immediately resonated with the students, and a chorus of agreement rang out in the classroom.

"Teacher Zhong is right!" a student shouted, followed by a burst of cheerful laughter.

Amid the students' cheers, one student suggested that the teachers should also perform on stage.

Xie Min was the first one pushed up by everyone, and she couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm.

So, Xie Min walked onto the stage with a smile. "Then I will sing "Jasmine Flower" for everyone."

"Good!" The students applauded and cheered, looking forward to Xie Min's performance.
