After rebirth, Bai Yueguang fell in love with me at first sight

It gets dark early in Lingshui Town. After dinner, Cheng Si and his grandmother sat in the yard. There was a small lamp on under the eaves, and they were shelling beans in the dim light.

Before he knew it, it was already 8 o'clock. Cheng Si had looked next door for the fifth time, but there was still no movement.

The old lady sighed and said, "Don't look at it anymore. The Jiang family's kid doesn't live here often. He hasn't come back yet and he probably won't come back today."

Cheng Si pursed her lips. After all, Jiang Jin was someone she was close to in her childhood. She couldn't help but care about him, so she asked his grandmother, "Grandma, when did Brother Jiang Jin come back?"

The old lady stopped what she was doing and thought for a moment. "He has been here for about half a year. He should have returned last fall."

"It's been so long..." Cheng Si muttered softly. He calculated that Jiang Jin went to North City in the second year of junior high school. He was three years older than him. Logically, he should be in the third year of high school now and would take the college entrance examination soon. There was no high school in the town. Where was he going to school now? What happened that made him come back from North City at such a critical moment?

"Don't think about it. It's getting late. Take a bath and go to bed early." The old lady sighed helplessly and put away the beans. "If you want to know whether you can meet him tomorrow, ask the child."

Cheng Si felt that there was really no point in thinking about these things, so he obediently went upstairs to wash up, and then went to bed early. The pace of life in the small town was very slow, and the people living there always went to bed early.

It was only half past eight, and the houses around were pitch black, with only a few lights on. It was very lonely, and only the occasional rhythmic chirping of insects could be heard in the night.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Cheng Si followed the local customs and fell into a deep sleep in this quiet world.

Before going to bed, I suddenly understood why most people like to come to the small town to relax.

The next day, Cheng Si slept well last night and woke up very early in the morning. It was still dark, but he was no longer sleepy. The air in the town was good in the morning, so Cheng Si simply walked out of the door with light steps.

Cheng Si did not wander around, but walked along a straight road to the back of the mountain, avoiding the hassle of going back and forth without knowing the way.

Cheng Si had no intention of going up the mountain. He sat in a pavilion, staring at the gray mountain in a trance.

In the twilight, a man walked over from the alley where Cheng Si had just come from. Jiang Jin saw the man sitting in the pavilion from afar and narrowed his eyes, "Cheng Si?"

Cheng Si came back to his senses and turned around to look. He didn't expect to meet the person he didn't see last night here. Judging from the direction he was heading, he seemed to want to go up the mountain.

"Brother Jiang Jin," Cheng Si called out the name he had always called in his childhood. It sounded strange yet familiar. Facing the man's gaze, Cheng Si smiled and said, "Brother, long time no see."

"Well, long time no see," Jiang Jin also replied, his voice was very low, without the childishness of childhood, a little low, and the tone was no longer gentle.

Cheng Si carefully looked at the man for a long time. He was not wearing a hat at this moment, so his appearance was clear. His hair was very short, a standard buzz cut, and his eyebrows were deep. He was standing not far away and did not come closer. He looked at this sideways. He was a very cool boy. "Brother, you have changed a lot from before."

Hearing this, the man fell into some memories. After a while, he narrowed his eyes and said, "You have changed more and become braver, but..."

"But what?" Cheng Si was curious.

The man didn't keep the secret and said directly, "You are still a person with poor direction."

Cheng Si didn't get angry when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Obviously this road is too difficult to walk on. I haven't been back for too long."

The two chatted for a while until the sky was bright. Cheng Si couldn't help but ask the question he wanted to ask, "Why are you back?"

The man was silent for a while and did not answer directly, "Do you want to go up the mountain?"

Cheng Si understood what he meant and followed him to climb the mountain. The two chatted as they walked. Although Jiang Jin didn't explain everything, his general idea was that the main reason for coming back was to take the college entrance examination.

The two of them reached the top of the mountain unknowingly. Cheng Si was exhausted and took a breath. He hadn't been active for too long and felt a little exhausted. "Brother, take a break," Cheng Si said without waiting for the man to answer. He found a clean empty seat and sat down.

Jiang Jin looked at him with amusement and said, "You can tell that you lack exercise on a daily basis," and then he found a place to sit down.

The two of them arrived at a good time. They looked at the sky gradually turning red. The first touch of red on the horizon slowly spread as time went by. The red was so shocking. The two were attracted by the beautiful scenery and did not speak for a while.

When the red glow receded, Jiang Jin patted his pants and looked at Cheng Si, "Let's go down the mountain."

Cheng Si said okay, stood up and patted his pants.

It was already daybreak when Cheng Si returned to his courtyard. At this moment, the old lady was holding a phone. It was unknown what was said on the other end. The old lady looked unhappy and sneered, "Why didn't you call me later? You could have saved this call."

I don't know what was said over there, the old lady replied calmly, "I don't need you to worry about me, I can't even handle my own affairs."

Cheng Si guessed that it was probably a call from his parents. His grandmother would only talk to those two people in this manner, so he didn't go over to disturb them and found a place to sit down at a distance.

The old lady also saw Cheng Si coming back and waved. Cheng Si sat over and asked, "What did you do this morning? You're sweating all over?" The old lady asked with concern and pointed behind her. "Grandma cooked some porridge and stewed some meat. You should drink more later."

"I met Brother Jiang Jin and went up the mountain together," Cheng Si replied.

"I'm talking to your dad on the phone. Do you want to talk to him?" The old lady looked at Cheng Si and took the initiative to bring up the topic.

Cheng Si didn't say anything. He took the phone, adjusted his breathing, and called out "Dad."

There was a response from the other side, and both of them fell silent.

Because his father is busy with work all year round, he only sees him a few times throughout the year. In fact, Cheng Si has a very superficial relationship with his father, and he doesn't know what to say at this moment.

After a while, the other party spoke first, "Is the high school entrance exam coming up soon?"

"Yes," Cheng Si replied calmly.

"Focus on your studies and prepare well for the exam!"

"Okay," the two hung up the phone without chatting for a few words.

Seeing how unfamiliar the two were, the old lady shook her head and patted Cheng Si on the shoulder, "Let's eat."

Cheng Si didn't show any emotion and just said okay.

……

Cheng Si spent two leisurely days in Lingshui Town. He felt a little melancholy when he went back. The old lady gave him some dry goods and asked him to take them back. Cheng Si couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to take the big bags and bring some to Aunt Zhou's house when he went back.

……

When they arrived at school on Monday, Cheng Si and Lin Zhi were called to the office. Both of them looked very calm. Ding Ke looked at them and didn't know what to say. He sighed and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"I'll pay you whatever amount it takes," Lin Zhi looked at Ding Ke and said bluntly.

"Is this a question of compensation? Let me ask you to explain the situation!" Ding Ke's voice was a little stern.

Lin Zhi's expression was a little numb, and he was not in a good mood. He didn't want to stay and waste time. "You know the process is meaningful, but the result is that I broke the glass. Let's not waste time. If the teacher has nothing to do, we can go back to class. I will pay for the follow-up expenses, or I can find someone to fix it."

"What are you talking about!" Ding Ke slammed the table angrily. The noise was quite loud and several teachers nearby looked over here.

Cheng Si came to school this morning and saw that something was wrong with Lin Zhi. He was also a little irritated when he spoke, and was afraid that Ding Ke would be angry, so he hurriedly stopped him and explained the reason in a concise manner, "On Friday, we went back to get our homework, and the door of the classroom was closed. When we pushed the window, the glass shattered."

Ding Ke calmed down a bit after hearing this, "When did you get the homework? Why is the door locked?"

Hearing this, Cheng Si was quiet for a while, "It was a little late to go to school, and the classroom was locked."

Ding Ke wanted to ask some details, but Lin Zhi frowned and said, "Teacher, class is about to start. Can we go to class first?" His tone sounded as if Ding Ke was delaying his studies.

Ding Ke choked. There was nothing he could do since it had already happened. The impact of this incident was quite large. He had asked almost all the questions and the school still had to discuss the follow-up. So he waved his hand and let them go to class.

Lin Zhi didn't stay for another second and immediately left the office. Cheng Si was a step slower and was stopped by Ding Ke, who gave him a dozen test papers and asked him to take them back to the classroom. "What's wrong with Lin Zhi? Are you still not well?"

Cheng Si shook his head. He didn't know what was wrong with Lin Zhi at the moment.

Ding Ke didn't say anything else when he saw this. He sighed and said, "You should go back to class too."

Cheng Si nodded and walked out of the office. After the two left, Ding Ke drank a sip of tea and was worried about how to explain this matter to his superiors.

"Teacher Ding, what happened?" a female teacher nearby asked with concern.

Ding Ke shook his head. "You said this student is too worrying."

"Isn't it? Especially for students who are about to take the high school entrance exam, their mentality is more easily affected." Another teacher also said.

"Indeed, students' mentality is easily affected nowadays. There is a student in my class who used to have good grades, but because of some problems at home, he often skips classes now." A teacher nearby said worriedly.

"In this situation, we as teachers really don't know what to say. We can't interfere too much in other people's family affairs. We can only guide students more. The mentality is also a big problem. Parents also need to be able to communicate well. The family has a great influence on children." The office discussed this topic for a while.
