Chapter 12

The next day, Xie Zhongxing reached his classroom and saw that Qin Zhongyue had reached his seat before him.Qin Zhongyue was very popular so there were quite a few boys crowding around his seat chatting enthusiastically about something.As Xie Zhongxing walked over, Qin Zhongyue noticed him first. He stretched out his hand and patted the boy blocking the aisle, “Make way. Make way for my desk mate.”Xie Zhongxing glanced over and saw a handheld game console in his hands.He sat in his seat and proceeded to take out a textbook as well as a very worn-out pencil case.Qin Zhongyue stuffed his game console into the hands of one of the boys, “You guys can go play with it.”The boys cheered happily, “Thank you, brother!”The group of boys loudly moved to another place.Qin Zhongyue asked, “Did you sleep well last night?”Xie Zhongxing replied, “En.”Qin Zhongyue then said, “I didn’t sleep well. I studied late into the night.”Xie Zhongxing turned to look at him, “Studied late into the night?”Qin Zhongyue nodded with a serious and reliable expression, “Studied until two in the morning. I even have dark circles now.”Turns out Qin Zhongyue was the type to play around outside but work hard in the background.Xie Zhongxing thought this inside and said, “You should have enough sleep so that you can pay attention in class.”Qin Zhongyue lied without a change to his expression, “But I love studying too much. I can’t stop once I start studying.”Xie Zhongxing asked, “Which university do you plan to get into?”This question stumped Qin Zhongyue. Based on his results from the quiz he did yesterday with his tutor, it would be difficult for him to even get into a top-ranking university. Qin Xiangqian would naturally be willing to use money to get him in, but he didn’t like to study and if the university he attends is too strict, he may not even be able to graduate. In his previous life, Qin Xiangqian simply sent him abroad to attend a university that looked good on paper and would allow him to bluff his way through.Recalling the ridicules he had suffered in his previous life, especially when he had a nemesis who was talented and had a brilliant academic background, he couldn’t help but realise how pathetic he was.

In his last life, he could at least have the mentality that even though he wasn’t much, at least his wife was amazing; he could get his wife to deal with them. Every time his nemesis ridiculed him, he would run off to complain to Xie Zhongxing who would immediately help deal with him.Xie Zhongxing had snatched orders worth tens of millions in yuan from that guy and even deliberately raised the price in bidding projects to let him suffer a big loss. In the end, he could only rely on his wife….Qin Zhongyue at that time felt proud inside, thinking: I have a wife I can rely on, but you don’t, you pitiful single dog.….Thinking about it now, apart from being overly controlling and strict, Xie Zhongxing actually treated him pretty well and would even help him vent his anger.But he really was quite pathetic.Why couldn’t he do what Xie Zhongxing could do?Now that he had gone back to ten years ago, he must become someone amazing no matter what! He will make Xie Zhongxing look at him with worshipping eyes!He should get back the dignity he had lost!Thinking this, Qin Zhongyue exclaimed, “I plan to attend Tsinghua or Peking University!”Xie Zhongxing took in Qin Zhongyue’s confident expression and his eyes shone a faint light. Even his voice softened a little, “Me too.”Qin Zhongyue had no idea how hard it was to actually get into those universities. He began to brag, “If I get serious, not just Tsinghua or Peking University, even Harvard, Cambridge and MIT wouldl be begging me to attend!”Xie Zhongxing said, “Yeah. You’re very smart after all.”Qin Zhongyue couldn’t help but look at him with bright eyes, “…..You really think so?”Xie Zhongxing thought for a while and added, “Only limited to studying.”Qin Zhongyue was stunned for a moment, “What do you mean? Why is it only limited to studying?”Xie Zhongxing, “The organisation assigned me a task yesterday to assassinate someone.”Qin Zhongyue immediately fell silent. A short moment later, he asked fearfully, “……Who?” Could it be him?Xie Zhongxing internally commented: This is why it’s only limited to studying.The eyes he used to look at Qin Zhongyue contained a look of pity.Qin Zhongyue swallowed nervously and asked, “Killing is a crime. Don’t be impulsive.”Xie Zhongxing: “……..”

Just as he was about to clear up this misunderstanding, someone called his name, “Xie Zhongxing!”Xie Zhongxing looked over and saw Qiu Yi.Qiu Yi stood somewhat uncomfortably at the door to the classroom, “Come out for a moment. I have something to tell you.”Qin Zhongyue had good memory. He immediately remembered that this person was the one who had grabbed Xie Zhongxing’s collar outside Jinyu Hotel.It didn’t seem like he came with good intentions. Qin Zhongyue asked fiercely, “Why is he looking for you? He wants to start something?”Xie Zhongxing was a little surprised to see him wanting to stand up for him. Why did this person always want to help him?It was the case back at Jinyu Hotel and even now. Xie Zhongxing stared at him intently. Disregarding Qiu Yi’s urging, he quietly asked the question he had always wanted to but had forgotten to ask, “Back at Jinyu Hotel, why did you say that you know me?”Qin Zhongyue’s fierce expression froze, and it was soon replaced with a silly look. His eyes rolled around nervously, “Why are you asking that?”Xie Zhongxing: “We shouldn’t have met each other before then.”Qin Zhongyue thought for a moment and whispered, “I only saw you once before. I didn’t even know your name at that time.”Xie Zhongxing asked, “Then why did you help me back then?”“Because I like to help people. My father has always said that we should help the people around us as much as we can. I was just doing what my father taught me.” That wasn’t a lie. Although Qin Xiangqian doted on Qin Zhongyue, he still had his principles. Knowing that Qin Zhongyue liked to play, didn’t like to study and didn’t have any intentions to inherit the family business, he only hoped that he would grow up to be a good child.Hearing this answer, Xie Zhongxing was stunned. His opinion of Qin Zhongyue once again changed, “That is very nice of you.”Qin Zhongyue was also stunned. He had also said something like this to Xie Zhongxing in his last life but Xie Zhongxing hadn’t shown any reaction back then. For some reason, his heart started to race and his mouth turned dry.He suddenly realised that the eighteen-year-old Xie Zhongxing was much more lively compared to the Xie Zhongxing in his last life. He would even directly voice his thoughts instead of keeping it inside him, making people wonder what was on his mind.Realising this, Qin Zhongyue suppressed the excitement inside him and asked in a low voice, “You really think it’s good?”Xie Zhongxing nodded, “Of course. Helping others is a very precious quality.”Qin Zhongyue opened and closed his mouth, “Then….then do you like someone like that?”Xie Zhongxing raised the corners of his lips slightly to reveal a faint smile, “No one would dislike such a person.”

He remembered Qin Zhongyue’s behaviour of throwing money away and added, “However, if you run into someone with bad intentions, your act of helping others may conversely bring trouble to you instead.”Qin Zhongyue was frightened. He almost thought Xie Zhongxing had also been reborn.After becoming an adult, the spending money he received from his father, mother and grandfather totalled to about eight million yuan a month. It was an amount that he wouldn’t be able to use up anyway so he would lend it to friends to establish a company or to help provide financial support. Of course, all that money couldn’t be recovered due to various reasons such as the company going bankrupt. In any case, it was money that he had left over so he told them there was no need to pay him back.Little amounts here and there, even if he didn’t add it all up, it would still be at least several tens of millions in yuan.But as soon as Xie Zhongxing found out about this, he didn’t let him come home for an entire week and made him get that money back.It was however money that he had said that they didn’t need to repay so how could he turn around and ask for it now? What’s more, it was money that he couldn’t have finished spending anyway and they’re his friends so what was wrong with helping them out when they’re in a difficult situation?This matter bothered him for a very long time at that time. In the end, he couldn’t bear it anymore and could only force himself to ask for the money back --- He wasn’t able to get much back but it at least allowed him to go back home. That was also when his bank card was confiscated….Qin Zhongyue looked fearfully at Xie Zhongxing and asked cautiously, “….Why do you say that?”Too lazy to get Qin Zhongyue to make way for him, Xie Zhongxing stood up and moved his desk forward a fraction. With his long legs, he was able to pass through that narrow space without much trouble. He casually answered Qin Zhongyue’s question, “Just a guess.”Qin Zhongyue carefully took in those words and breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness. It seems that Xie Zhongxing hadn’t been reborn.If Xie Zhongxing was also reborn, then wouldn’t he have to marry him again? ------ A couple who had been married for five years, it would be too awkward not to marry him.But he didn’t want to continue living off 100 yuan a day.Fortunately, only he was reborn.Qin Zhongyue watched Xie Zhongxing leave and couldn’t help but get up and follow him.As soon as he left the classroom and got closer, he heard that hooligan-like boy say, “The track and field coach asked Brother Fu to come back for training so he will be coming back soon. What are you going to do?”Before Xie Zhongxing could speak, Qin Zhongyue’s voice sounded from behind him, “Who’s Brother Fu?”Qiu Yi didn’t pay much attention to Qin Zhongyue until he stopped before him and was left surprised.Qin Zhongyue’s appearance was outstanding. Combined with his unique features, he was someone one wouldn’t forget after catching a glimpse of him when passing by. Not to mention, Qiu Yi was once threatened by him!Qiu Yi had a very deep impression of this rich man who drove a luxurious Lamborghini!

Qiu Yi was also a sports student and in the same track and field team as Fu Donglin. His class was almost ten classrooms away from Xie Zhongxing’s class 3-21 and he would usually only come over to find Fu Donglin. With Fu Donglin suspended, he hadn’t been coming over, so he didn’t know what the new transfer student looked like. Now that he saw him, he asked while trembling, “Why are you here?”Qin Zhongyue glanced proudly at Xie Zhongxing when he saw that he still remembered him.Xie Zhongxing didn’t understand why he was feeling proud and he also didn’t care. He just calmly said to Qiu Yi, “He just transferred here.”Qiu Yi stammered, “So you’re that transfer student. There have been all sorts of rumours circulating around lately….We really are fated.”Qin Zhongyue asked, “Why are you looking for him? Bullying him again?”Qiu Yi hurriedly explained, “How could I dare? I regard Xie Zhongxing as a brother now so I’m just here to report to him.”He took a deep breath and answered Qin Zhongyue’s question from earlier. It was even all said in one breath, “Brother Fu is Fu Donglin, from our track and field team. He’s also in the same class and dormitory as Xie Zhongxing and used to like to go against him. That time at Jinyu Hotel, it was Brother Fu who tried to get Xie Zhongxing drunk and wanted us to bring him back to school, strip him bare and lock him in the female toilets to embarrass him….Of course, you stopped us at that time so we didn’t make that mistake. Lu Tie and I have now both returned to our senses and no longer wish to be involved with his evil ways anymore.”He even actively expressed, “Last time Brother Fu wanted to out Xie Zhongxing as a homosexual and embarrass him in front of the whole school and it was with my tip-off that he wasn’t able to succeed!”Seeing that Qin Zhongyue’s expression was becoming increasingly ugly the more he listened to him, he was overjoyed. He quietly reproached, “He really is quite horrible. I can’t stand him!”Qin Zhongyue’s were flushed red with anger, “That’s too much! Is he even human?!”Qiu Yi couldn’t help but nod in agreement, “Yes, that’s right! It’s too much! He is indeed not human!”Qin Zhongyue was half a head taller than Qiu Yi, who was a sports student. He hooked his arm around Qiu Yi’s shoulder and brought him aside, “Tell me more about this Fu Donglin. How dare he bully others like this!”That was exactly what Qiu Yi wanted!Xie Zhongxing stood in place watching Qin Zhongyue and Qiu Yi move aside to talk. As Qiu Yi talked, Qin Zhongyue’s expression was filled with various expressions of anger. A look of surprise flitted across his beautiful eyes.Was he like this to everyone?The author has something to say:After hearing that his wife was being bullied.Baby Yue is angry: Only I can bully my wife!Xing Xing: ?Baby Yue: ……(Weakly) I should at least be able to bully you in bed?
