The school doctor said, "It's nothing, you just ate too much at once. Take a stomach medicine tablet and you'll be fine."

Shen Nan: "..."

Shao Bei: "......"

The school doctor gave them a box of stomach-soothing and digestion-aiding tablets, as well as a tube of medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing stasis, telling them to leave as soon as possible.

School Doctor: "Don't occupy my space, you still have classes in the afternoon. Let me make it clear, Shen Nan's injury is not serious. I won't provide a medical certificate for you to skip class."

Shao Bei & Shen Nan: "......"

The weather in early spring was clear and refreshing. The greenery in Yizhong High School was well-maintained. As they walked from the school clinic to the classrooms, the two of them were almost always walking under the shade of the trees.

Without the school doctor as a mediator, Chen Nan felt that the atmosphere between him and Shao Bei was extremely awkward. It was neither the tension from ten years later, nor the light-heartedness from ten years ago in their past life. It had become an indescribable state of being, neither here nor there.

"You..."

"I..."

Both of them spoke at the same time and froze simultaneously. Shen Nan touched his nose, changing the topic, and heard Shao Bei ask, "What do you want to say?"

Shen Nan walked slowly, his sneakers scuffing against the ground. Although he kept his head down, he constantly glanced at Shao Bei from the corner of his eye, maintaining a distance from him.

He pretended to be calm and said, "That school doctor, he said you're my boyfriend. " He said while smiling, "Hey, are you saying this joke is true or not."

He abruptly stopped speaking.

Because Shaobei suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Shen Nan and him stood there, one in front and the other behind. Shen Nan didn't know what expression Shao Bei had on his face behind him, but he felt that the other's gaze was firmly glued to him, making his hair stand on end. The hand by his side slowly clenched into a fist, which was his small defensive movement, prepared in case Shao Bei made a move.

However, Shaobei calmly asked, "Why did you say earlier that I poisoned the food?"

Shen Nan's throat tightened.

"Why have you been so guarded against me since you woke up?"

Shen Nan swallowed his saliva.

"Na Na, it was you who confessed to me first."

Shen Nan suddenly turned his head and widened his eyes, saying, "Impossible!"

Facing Shao Bei's disappointed and puzzled face, he met the clear and watery gaze of the young Shao Bei, and noticed the downturned corners of Shao Bei's mouth.

Shen Nan opened his mouth but in the end, he didn't say anything to rectify the situation.

Shaobei and he passed by each other: "Then let's separate for a while."

Shen Nan stood in place, and in the breeze that Shaobei left behind, there was a hint of mint fragrance that was refreshing and pleasant. Shen Nan was momentarily stunned, and when he turned around, there was no trace of Shaobei in his field of vision. He looked around in confusion.

He suddenly realized that he couldn't remember where his classroom was!

Shen Nan thought for a moment and felt that the classroom was not the most important thing right now. He had to first figure out the current situation.

Compared to the gloomy and hazy classrooms in his memories, the school gate was quite eye-catching. After circling around, Shen Nan saw the school gate. The security guard at the entrance was questioning someone who wanted to come in on a tricycle. Shen Nan, slow to react, suddenly remembered the strict and outrageous access control at Yizhong middle school. So, he changed his direction and went to find a place to climb over the wall.

Yizhong is an old-fashioned school on the outskirts of the city. The red walls and green tiles exude a sense of antiquity eroded by the passage of time. Shen Nan walked to a tree in a corner of the school. It was an evergreen tree that sprouted tender buds in the spring. The branches were sturdy, with some extending beyond the surrounding wall.

And at the foot of the wall, several bricks were scattered amid the weeds.

Shen Nan suddenly remembered. This was the place where countless students took as a shortcut to skip school.

He had never done anything against the rules before, but this time he naturally thought of it because he had experienced too much fighting and killing later on, and had become accustomed to not taking rules seriously.

Jumping over a wall, skipping a class, it's nothing but a bunch of nonsense.

He measured the height, not needing to use bricks to boost himself up. He took a few steps back, then leaped forward, grabbing onto the tree branch with both hands and swinging with the momentum. He hooked his feet onto the edge of the wall and, when he let go with his hands, he straightened his waist and shifted his center of gravity, then smoothly jumped down.

In just a few short seconds, it was as if a textbook demonstration of scaling the wall.

He walked towards the end of the dead-end alley, patting off the dust from his clothes. A wide asphalt road appeared before his eyes, with vehicles speeding by. Roses were blossoming in the shrubs along the green belt, and there were sporadic pedestrians on the sidewalk. On the right side, one shop after another extended into the distance. The wind blew past, gently lifting his slightly curly bangs.

In that instant, Shen Nan heard the sound of her own heartbeat amidst a strange familiarity.

He realized with absolute clarity that he had truly been reborn.

He was reborn ten years ago when he was still leaving the city.
