Now is class time, and the vast campus is eerily quiet. In the school's backyard, the red maple leaves rustle in the autumn wind. On a somewhat dirty-looking stone table, Helián Chen sits quietly, propping his face up with his hands. Although he appears calm, his heart is akin to a raging storm, as if a thousand galloping wild horses trample through it again and again.

He clearly died under the barrel of his younger brother's gun, but woke up in a high school classroom. Anyone would find it hard to remain calm in such a situation. However, as a man in his thirties, he could not afford to lose his composure. He had to pretend to be the same naive child he used to be, and then skip class to calm his agitated emotions.

The events of the past life are still vividly remembered. Having been given another chance at life, Helian Chen swears that he will never again be foolishly manipulated by others. In his previous life, he pitied his younger half-brother until the day he died, only to discover that his brother had completely drained his company. Despite his genuine affection towards him, his brother showed no gratitude and, in the end, even shot and killed him.

Thinking of this, Heliandian's expression darkened. He remembered the time when he was kidnapped and, at the critical moment, his former teacher Shen Qinghan came rushing from somewhere and took a bullet for him. Shen Qinghan died on the spot, and in the end, he himself was unable to escape death either.

Remembering the look in Shen Qinghan's eyes at that time, it was resolute, as if it didn't matter if he died for himself, and indeed, he did so. Thinking back to my past attitude towards him, my heart feels twisted, almost hating myself to death.

Shen Qinghan was his high school teacher, and because he had just graduated from university, he got along well with his classmates. However, he alone showed disdain towards building a good relationship with the teacher. He was the unrivaled king in the class, no one could control him. But Shen Qinghan... for some reason, Shen Qinghan was exceptionally good to him. Only he knew how many times Shen Qinghan had let him off the hook, even taking the blame for his misdeeds. Later on, of course, he didn't get into university, instead, he went to learn business management from his dad and took over the company after a few years. Since then, he had never seen Shen Qinghan again.

He remembered that he hadn't seen Shen Qinghan in five years, but suddenly one evening, she found him and publicly confessed her feelings for him. He had almost forgotten about this person, so to be suddenly confessed to like that, he didn't escape being teased by his friends. Out of anger, he cursed and insulted every relative of Shen Qinghan. He doesn't remember her expression at the time, only that she said "I'm sorry" and then walked away. After that, he never saw her again until ten years later, which happened to be the day he died, when he saw her again for the first and last time.

Helian Chen never thought that there could be someone who loved him for more than a decade! And now, he finally has the chance to meet Shen Qinghan again. This time, he is determined to treat Shen Qinghan well. It's not out of pity, nor is it to repay a debt. Even if there hadn't been a kidnapping in his previous life, just knowing that someone silently loved him for ten years would have moved him. Regardless of whether this person is male or female, he is willing to accept them.

"Ding ling ling ling~" The ringing of the dismissal bell interrupted Helian Chen's thoughts, and he slowly got up and made his way towards the classroom.

"Achen!" a handsome boy with a clean face ran over from a distance and hugged his neck. "You didn't go to class again last period, you missed it. We made Laowangba so angry, his face turned red and his neck got thick! Ha~"

Heling Chen couldn't pretend to be mischievous at this moment and calmly said, "Oh."

Yan Yan, Helián Chen's best friend, was momentarily stunned. "Ah Chen, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? Did someone play a prank on you? Are you unhappy?" Helián Chen tugged at the corner of his mouth. "What is there to be happy about? Class is about to start soon, stop talking nonsense and go back quickly." Actually, he... couldn't remember the details of his grievances with that person called "Old Turtle".

"Ah Chen, find some time to go see Auntie the school nurse. Oh right, the new homeroom teacher is coming today. Can't be late for the next class meeting, after all, I'm still a good student."

"New homeroom teacher?"

"Yeah, I heard he just graduated from college. Now he can have some fun!"

"Alright, Yan Er, you can go first. I'll go to the restroom."

"How many times have I told you not to call me Yan Er! And also, don't be late."

"Rest assured." As she watched He Lianchen leave, Yan Yan continued to gaze at his retreating figure: This person is really acting strange today. It's so unusual to see him suddenly being so serious. Oh well, never mind. He's always a bit off during a few days each month. With a wave of her hand, she returned to her class.

Huo Lianchen lazily went to the bathroom, then he asked the guy next to him for a cigarette. He lit it up and started smoking.

New homeroom teacher? If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Shen Qinghan. Helian Chen blew out a smoke ring, the memory of Shen Qinghan was already somewhat hazy. The only thing he remembered was that slender figure, resolutely spreading open her arms and protecting him from behind...

"Hey, buddy, heartbroken? Why are you crying?" The guy who handed him a cigarette patted him.

"Hey, isn't this Helian Chen from Class 6? We just fought together against the boss of the neighboring technical school two weeks ago, remember?" another boy said.

"Remember." Heliàn Chén silently wiped away the physiological saline solution.

"Brother, why are you crying?" the person who had just given him a cigarette asked again, feeling uncomfortable in his compulsive state of mind.

Choked by the smoke.

Coughing from the smoke, "Hey! Why are you pulling me?"

As soon as Yan Xiaoge was about to question, the guy next to him pulled him away. He could tell that Helián Chen didn't really want to answer this question.

"It's almost time for class."

"Oh, alright then. Well, buddy, let's get together again when we have the time," he said. He had also heard of Helian Chen. It was said that during that fight, he had beaten up the leader of the technical school so badly that the guy had to beg for mercy and even kneeled down."

Huo Lianchen waved his hand at him. Of course, he remembered that fight clearly. It was his battle that made him famous. But as for gathering together, he probably didn't have the time.

Having finished smoking the cigarette, he glanced at his watch and realized there was still a minute until class started. Only then did Helian Chen start walking towards his classroom. Halfway there, the bell for class suddenly rang. He then looked at the nearby playground, and without warning, dashed towards it, running two laps before continuing on his way back.

In the class, Shen Qinghan started calling the roll. When it was Helian Chen's turn, the classroom fell silent. Shen Qinghan wasn't angry and continued calling the roll. In fact, he had already anticipated this. The previous homeroom teacher had already informed him that Helian Chen was a real problem teenager. Just the week before, he had gotten into a fight and received a major demerit. In fact, he should have been suspended, but perhaps his family had connections at the school, so the punishment was lenient. The teachers who knew the inside story usually turned a blind eye to him.

Two minutes passed after roll call, and Shen Qinghan was introducing herself to everyone when suddenly a head appeared at the doorway and quietly called out, "Report." The person at the door was panting heavily, as if they were very tired.

"Are you He Lianchen?"

Helian Chen nodded.

Fifty push-ups, fifty squats, then go stand by the door...

Hekian Chen didn't listen to him and just stared blankly at Shen Qinghan. What is this bewildered feeling? By the way, how come I didn't notice before that the teacher is actually... quite cute? Is it an illusion?

"Helian Chen? Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" Shen Qinghan helplessly looked at the teenager in front of him, who was half a head taller than him.

"No."

I said, do fifty push-ups and fifty squats, then stand at the door, and hand in a two-thousand-word report to me after school in the afternoon.

There was a sudden commotion in the class, and everyone was whispering to each other. Look, Ban Hun is definitely going to get angry.

Helian Chen remained silent, staring at Shen Qinghan for more than ten seconds. Then, under the astonished gazes of the whole class, he began doing push-ups!

Classmates: Holy crap holy crap holy crap! I must be blind!

After completing push-ups and squats, Helián Chen respectfully gave a 90-degree bow to the teacher, with a sincere expression, and apologized. Then, he went to stand by the door.

Classmates: Hmm, it must be that I didn't open it correctly! Close your eyes and try again!... Holy crap! What on earth happened to Lord Banhun!

Shen Qinghan was a bit confused. Wasn't he quite obedient? Could it be that the teacher in the office was joking with him? Shen Qinghan glanced satisfactorily at the door and then turned his head to continue with his self-introduction.

Shen Qinghan thought to herself, "This 'troublemaker youth' is quite handsome." Yes, in Shen Qinghan's mind, the troublemaker youth had already been labeled with quotation marks.
