Rebirth: Recovering My Treasure Girl

He Jianjun was listening silently, and then he said, "Chen Yang, who else is going in our class? Is the squad leader going?"

Chen Yang nodded and replied: "I will definitely go. How could this be done without your squad leader?"

The sentence "your squad leader" immediately made He Jianjun laugh a little sheepishly.

After the third class, Chen Yang, Zhou Lin, Wu Jenny, and He Jianjun were discussing what to eat when they suddenly saw Li Nana walking over.

"Chen Yang." Li Nana shouted.

Everyone immediately looked at Li Nana, wondering if she had anything to do with Chen Yang.

Li Nana smiled and said: "Chen Yang, after dinner, can you come back to the classroom early? The monitor and I want to discuss the essay selection contest with you."

Chen Yang didn't hesitate and nodded immediately: "I understand. I'll be back as soon as possible after dinner."

Jenny Wu asked curiously: "Li Nana, are you also participating?"

Li Nana nodded: "Yes, our class consists of me, the squad leader, and Chen Yang."

“Oh.” Jenny Wu responded without saying anything else.

Zhou Lin smiled and said: "Come on!"

"Well, thank you!" Li Nana smiled at Zhou Lin, then turned back to her seat and spoke to Ye Shiqi in a low voice.

....................................

After dinner, Chen Yang went back to the classroom without staying outside.

There were not many people in the classroom at this time, but Ye Shiqi and Li Nana were already back.

"Have you eaten?" Chen Yang walked over and said hello.

Li Nana nodded and said, "Eat."

Ye Shiqi looked at Chen Yang, then pointed to the seat in front of her: "Sit down and talk."

When Chen Yang sat down, Ye Shiqi said: "There are less than three days until the essay selection competition this Saturday, so we must seize the time to read more excellent essay selections..."

Saying that, Ye Shiqi looked at Chen Yang: "Chen Yang, remember to bring two anthologies of compositions tomorrow. We will bring them too, and everyone will read them in turn."

Chen Yang was a little embarrassed and shook his head with a wry smile: "Squad leader, I don't have an anthology of essays at home. I've never bought that thing!"

Li Nana was a little surprised. Her eyes widened and she asked, "Chen Yang, don't you usually read anthologies?"

"Don't look at it, what's wrong?" Chen Yang asked in confusion.

Li Nana was in disbelief: "Then...then how come you write such a good composition?"

Chen Yang smiled slightly and was about to answer, but was interrupted by Ye Shiqi: "Chen Yang, since you don't have an anthology of compositions, just concentrate on practicing calligraphy. When the time comes, we will lend you a copy, and you will copy it while facing it. Remember to look at the time and estimate how long it will take to transcribe an essay. You should have an idea in mind so that you can control your time on the day of the competition."

Chen Yang understood what Ye Shiqi meant, nodded slightly and said: "I know the squad leader, I will practice my calligraphy well so as not to embarrass our No. 2 Middle School."

Ye Shiqi glanced at Chen Yang angrily: "You are enlightened!"

Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh: "If nothing happens, I'll go back."

"Yeah." Ye Shiqi responded casually without looking at Chen Yang.

..................................................

After the evening self-study, Chen Yang returned home and his mother was watching TV dramas.

What was playing on the TV was Hong Kong TVB's "Miao Cuihua". Because the plot and performances were very funny, Zhao Caixia was having fun watching it and was in a very good mood.

Chen Yang closed the door and changed his shoes, then went back to his room and put down his schoolbag. He looked around the house again and then asked, "Mom, isn't dad at home? Didn't he say he was promoted? Do he still have to work overtime?"

"It's not about working overtime. Your dad went to have dinner with the leaders today to socialize." Zhao Caixia took the time to reply.

"Oh, not bad, now it's getting bureaucratic." Chen Yang muttered, then walked to the sofa and sat down, watching TV with his mother.

As she watched, Zhao Caixia suddenly turned her head and asked, "By the way, son, the scores for the midterm exam should be out, right?"

"It's out." Chen Yang replied calmly while watching the TV.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Caixia immediately turned down the sound of the TV and asked expectantly: "How was it? Did you do well in the exam this time?"

Chen Yang was calm and reported his scores for nine subjects, and finally sighed: "Alas! The total score is 618, ranking 48th in the class, still far from the top 30!"

Zhao Caixia saw Chen Yang's hard work during this period. Hearing that Chen Yang was a little discouraged, she quickly encouraged him: "It's not far, it's not far, 54 to 48, improved by 6 places, already Very good, I believe you, you will definitely be in the top 30 by the end of the semester!"

Next, Zhao Caixia said a lot of words of encouragement, but they were all the same old words, and there was nothing new about them over and over again.

Then, Chen Yang found a gap and interjected: "By the way, Mom! I may come back late at noon on Saturday. You can go and do whatever you want to do then. I will just cook noodles when I come back."

Zhao Caixia asked curiously: "What are you going to do on Saturday?"

Chen Yang said calmly: "Our Chinese teacher recommended me to participate in the selection of a city composition competition. I will be back late at noon, so I want to tell you first."

"Wait, what did you say? The trial for the city's composition contest?"

"correct."

"Did your Chinese teacher recommend you to participate?"

"correct."

At this moment, Zhao Caixia opened her mouth in surprise. She probably could fit two apples in at once.

---------------------------------

Friday afternoon, after school.

Zhou Lin did not take Jenny Wu's car home together, but walked out of the school with Chen Yang, and the two of them headed towards the cinema as agreed.

The two of them had agreed before that they would go to the cinema today to see what movies were showing, and then pick one to watch on Sunday.

Zhou Lin had never gone shopping alone with boys of the same age, so she was very nervous and restrained along the way. She blushed and lowered her head most of the time, for fear of being seen by acquaintances.

In order to relieve her tension, Chen Yang searched for topics that Zhou Lin was interested in along the way, so that she could slowly relax through chatting.

"Zhou Lin, what TV series do you usually like to watch?"

"I...I read everything, I'm not very picky."

"Then do you prefer domestic dramas, or Japanese dramas and Korean dramas?"

"I don't have any particular favorite, as long as it looks good, I'll do it."

"Have you seen "Tokyo Love Story"?"

"No......"

"Then you have to find time to watch it. You can't miss this show. It's very interesting. I highly recommend it!"

"Really? Then I'll find time to take a look later."

The two of them chatted while walking, mostly Chen Yang asking questions and answering Zhou Lin's questions. The atmosphere was far less natural and harmonious than in school.

While walking, Chen Yang suddenly remembered that there was a roadside stall selling stinky tofu not far ahead, so he asked Zhou Lin: "You must be hungry now, let's go get some snacks."

Chen Yang thinks that girls probably like to eat snacks, and maybe they won't be so nervous after eating something.

"What snack?" Zhou Lin asked.

Chen Yang smiled and said: "Follow me, you will know when you get there."
