Rebirth: It's Not You, It's Me

After the second day of the Chinese New Year, I went to my grandma's house with my parents. We ate and drank, and another day passed.

After the second year of junior high school, it seems like the Chinese New Year is almost over. I have to study hard because my Tsinghua and Peking University are waving at me.

Brush up on Grade 53, study the texts, and polish your English.

Study time is always fulfilling and goes by quickly, and I always feel like there is not enough time.

After a few days of studying without leaving the house, I had a thick stack of papers and a great sense of accomplishment. My math score increased from around 90 to around 130.

My Chinese grades have always been good, there is not much room for improvement, but there has been a slight increase. How can I not be happy?

The most obvious one is English, which went from failing to passing and then to 100 points. It may also be because of my actual age, my comprehension ability is better than when I was a child, and it is easier to learn.

I also recite other subjects every day and my grades have improved.

Every day when I run, I wear headphones and listen to MP3s, downloading English speaking, English listening, and texts to keep training my ears. If I don't make progress this way, I'll lose my brain.

I don’t know how Shen Yushi knew that I jog every day, but he would wait for me at the intersection before dawn every morning.

He didn't bother me when I was running and listening to English, and he just ran with me. We just greeted each other during the run and said goodbye after the run. No more words.

He is also a man of perseverance.

These days, some friends come to play with me from time to time, and I refuse them with various reasons.

In a blink of an eye, it was the twelfth day of the first lunar month. According to our custom, on the night of the twelfth day, all the young and old in the village went out for a walk to get rid of all diseases. People in the street burned cypress branches. Everyone gathered around the fire and then went to another place to take the test.

The center of the village is the most lively. Everyone finishes their meal before it gets dark and goes out for a stroll early.

Zhaojun called Yu Xiaoyun, Feifei, Liu Ting, and Yan Xi to go out with me. I quickly packed up and joined them, went to the back room and called Jiaojiao, and the group walked towards the center of the village in a mighty manner.

In fact, I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw Yun Feifei, but I didn't show it on my face.

"There are more people this year than in previous years. It's so lively." Jiaojiao said.

"Yes, Luo Luo, how about we start the projects that we must do in previous years?" Liu Ting said and covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.

"Okay, you guys wait here for us, we'll be back soon." After I said that, I pulled Liu Ting and ran into the small supermarket in the village.

"Two rows of Shuangwaiwai, two rows of Wahaha, and a small firecracker. This year, each person will have an ice cream." After I said that, I looked at Liu Ting, waiting for her to add more.

"Eating ice cream around the fire, you're amazing. I also want glow sticks as bracelets."

"Okay, okay." We hit it off immediately.

After buying these, I hurried back to meet my friends.

"Come on, give each of you a big bracelet. Doesn't it feel wow?" Liu Ting said as she took out big bracelets and distributed them.

"And there's also Shuangwaiwai in my hat, hahahahahahaha..." I turned around and motioned Jiaojiao to take out the things in my hat, feeling very depressed.

I took out the firecrackers and smashed them in one hand, drank milk in the other, and had a big bracelet and a bag of ice cream on my left wrist. It didn't affect me to draw my sword anyway.

The ice cream was divided after the stock was gone.

"Let's go and eat ice cream around the fire." This is a real eye-catching bag. Very eye-catching and happy.

The total age of my two lives is about 50. I am still a teenager when I return.

Jiaojiao leaned over to my ear and whispered to me, "Your little puppy is waiting for you in the alley over there. He said he wants to give you something."

I walked over with a confused look on my face.

"Shen Yushi, we see each other every day, what are you doing?"

"This is for you. I prayed for you at Shuxiang Temple in Wutai Mountain a few days ago. I heard it is very effective. I wish you success in the college entrance examination this year." After saying that, he put the amulet around my neck before I could react.

"Thank you, I'll give you whatever you want." My first reaction was that this didn't seem cheap, and I couldn't owe him a favor, so I returned it to him.

"This is what I asked for you, not for you to repay me. This is my blessing to you."

…I don’t know what to say.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "Buddhism does not talk about money, but about yuan. How much is the gift? If you don't want yuan, I can't accept such an expensive gift from you."

"Then after you pass the exam, give me a birthday present as a return gift. Okay?"

"Okay, it's happily decided. I'll give you the remaining Shuangwaiwai and Wahahaha."

Shen Yushi was stunned when he saw me taking a drink out of my hat. "Is it still possible to do this?"

"Hey, take it, my friend is waiting for me. Thank you for the amulet, goodbye." I waved and slipped away.

"Luo Luo, where have you been?" Yun Feifei asked.

"I couldn't find the small comb that beauty needs in my pocket, so I went to look for it where I had set off the firecrackers. I found it." I lied as soon as I opened my mouth.

It's really fun to talk nonsense in front of people with bad intentions.

"We haven't played much together this holiday. Luo Luo seems very busy?" Yun Feifei asked tentatively.

"I'm cultivating Taoism. Do you want me to tell your fortune?" I could only speak nonsense when talking to her.

Knowing she couldn't get any results, she simply stopped asking.

"Do you want to go to the county town to see the lanterns on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month?" Yun Feifei asked again.

"Okay, okay, let's go together." Liu Ting responded.

"You guys go ahead. There are no lanterns there. There are only people there. I won't go. It's cold and my legs will hurt." I said in a disappointed tone.

"If you don't go, then we will."

"Okay, go ahead." I answered happily.

Don't think of stopping me from drawing my sword. School is about to start and I'm sharpening my sword. No one can stop me.
