Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 1 (28)
After that night, Yu Luotong consciously kept the farthest distance from Xia Lin. Even if they were in the same classroom, Xia Lin could hardly feel his presence unless the teacher called him up to answer a question in class.
The relationship between Song Yan and Yu Luotong has eased. In order to thank Song Yan for helping him find a new job, Yu Luotong proposed to treat Song Yan to a “big meal” in the school cafeteria.
Song Yan felt that he was borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha and could not accept it calmly, so he secretly asked Xia Lin if he wanted to go with him. Xia Lin looked at him with a mocking look on his face: “In what capacity do you want me to go?”
Song Yan touched his nose and walked away.
In the following period, neither Song Yan nor Yu Luotong bothered Xia Lin again, so that he finally lived the life of a model student he dreamed of: arriving in the classroom half an hour early every morning, leaving the classroom half an hour late every night, and not going to the toilet between classes. Just doing exercises – the whole person has basically become an insulator, and there are no more miscellaneous things to distract him.2
In the first monthly exam after the start of school, Xia Lin suddenly jumped from the 23rd place in the class at the end of last semester to the 5th place, and at the same time ranked in the top 30 in the whole grade, which almost shocked the head teacher’s jaw.3
Of course, the class teacher would not let go of this good opportunity to set an example and grasp the academic style. Every time he got the opportunity in class, he would praise Xia Lin severely, which made Xia Lin extremely annoyed.1
On the weekend after the results of the monthly exam were released, Xia Lin piled up a lot of simulation questions and stayed at home to continue working on his problem-solving tactics.
At around seven o’clock in the evening, Xia Lin received a call from Song Yan: “Xia Lin, do you remember what day it is today?”
Xia Lin frowned: “Have you been drinking?”
Song Yan spoke loudly and repeated: “I ask you if you still remember what day it is today.”
Of course Xia Lin remembers what day it is.5
On this day in the previous life, Xia Lin carefully prepared a birthday gift for Song Yan, but failed to deliver it.
In this life, the gift no longer exists because it is not needed at all.
”I don’t remember,” Xia Lin held the pen in his hand tightly, but his tone was very calm, “I am doing the test, what can I do for you?”
”Today is my birthday!” Song Yan yelled on the other end of the phone, “Xia Lin, you are so heartless that you can even forget my birthday. You are determined to break up with me, right?”1
Xia Lin held the phone and was silent for a moment. When he spoke again, his tone was still very calm: “Where’s Yu Luotong, haven’t you been very close to him recently? Let him accompany you…”
”Don’t mention other people to me,” Song Yan interrupted him rudely, “Xia Lin, I just want to ask you, do you still think of me as your brother?”3
Xia Lin didn’t speak.1
Song Yan continued: “I’ll wait for you at my old place. I’ll wait for you until twelve o’clock in the evening. If you don’t come after twelve o’clock, I… believe it or not, I will never pay attention to you from now on.” !”2
After saying that, he hung up the phone very domineeringly.
Xia Lin looked at the phone and frowned slightly.
He was not afraid of Song Yan threatening him with breaking off the relationship, because that was his original goal.
However, listening to Song Yan’s voice, it seemed that he was very drunk. He was worried that if Song Yan was left alone in that place, something would happen sooner or later.9
The “old place” that Song Yan refers to is the rooftop of an old unfinished building.1
When they were young, he and Song Yan used that place as their secret base. Every time they skipped school, they would sneak there to play for a long time, and even Zhou Shuo couldn’t find them.
After entering high school, they gradually went there less and less. Xia Lin had almost forgotten the existence of that place, but he didn’t expect that this time Song Yan would suddenly think of running there for his birthday.
After hesitating for a moment, Xia Lin sighed, stood up, and walked out of the bedroom with his coat.
Zhou Shuo’s room was right next to Xia Lin’s. Seeing Xia Lin suddenly open the door and go out, he didn’t have time to ask anything, so he hurriedly put on his coat and followed downstairs.
Xia Liang was watching the news in the living room downstairs. When he saw the two people running out one after another, he turned around and asked, “Where are you going at night?”
”Song Yan is in a hurry,” Xia Lin said without turning around, “I’ll be back soon.”
”Zhou Shuo.” Xia Liang couldn’t stop Xia Lin, so he had to stop Zhou Shuo, “Let Uncle Teng drive you. Taxis are not easy to get at night.”4
”Oh, oh.” Zhou Shuo was stunned, then nodded in agreement.
Uncle Teng is half of Xia Liang’s bodyguard. Xia Liang doesn’t like being followed everywhere, so he usually only thinks of Uncle Teng’s existence when he is using the car.
