Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: This Life

Cheng Xing felt a stinging sensation in his eyes, as if someone had placed a thousand-watt lightbulb right in front of him.

Opening his eyes, he saw a blazing red sun hanging high in the sky, glaring down at him.His eyes stung a bit, so Cheng Xing squinted and looked away. He noticed he was holding a basketball, and not far away was a basketball hoop. But this basketball court seemed so familiar.Looking around, he saw Zhou Yuan, Sun Li, and the others.Only, they were all younger, looking like seventeen or eighteen-year-olds.He could vaguely hear Zhou Yuan calling out, "Brother Cheng, hurry up and shoot! Shoot!"Cheng Xing subconsciously threw the basketball in his hand.With a bang, the basketball landed on the ground, not even touching the rim."Brother Cheng, what's wrong with you today? You can't even hit the rim from this close," Sun Li asked in confusion.Cheng Xing was really good at basketball, especially shooting.It was less than a meter away from the hoop. Even if he missed, it was understandable, because everyone missed sometimes.But he didn't even touch the rim, which was a bit too exaggerated.It didn't seem like Cheng Xing's usual level."It's probably because of the love letter you wrote to Chen Qing this morning. Chen Qing must have seen it by now," Zhou Yuan said with a smile.Cheng Xing was still dazed when the basketball court suddenly became lively. Other people who were playing basketball rushed over. Instinctively, Cheng Xing turned around and saw three girls, seventeen or eighteen years old, walking towards them.The leading girl was wearing a light blue floral dress, her black hair tied into a ponytail. Her fair and tender legs looked even whiter under the sunlight.She was wearing a pair of white canvas shoes. With a hint of anger on her face, she walked up to Cheng Xing."Cheng Xing, can you explain this love letter? Everyone thinks we're dating now. I told you I wouldn't date until after college, so don't write me these things anymore. I won't agree to it," she said, holding up a piece of paper and looking at Cheng Xing angrily.The girl was very pretty, with delicate features and fair skin. Her face was slightly flushed from the heat and haste, and her beautiful eyes were filled with anger as she stared at Cheng Xing.Cheng Xing was familiar with this girl.Chen Qing, the girl he had chased since middle school.As for the other two girls,One was Wang Yan, and the other was Li Dan.Cheng Xing frowned. He felt like the world was becoming more and more real.At first, he thought he was dreaming, but dreams weren't like this.He hadn't seen Li Dan for a long time after graduating from high school, but her face was so clear, exactly the same as the Li Dan he remembered from high school.Cheng Xing bent down and picked up the basketball from the ground.He touched the basketball with his hand, and a bold guess came to his mind.Because the basketball felt real.He threw the basketball to Zhou Yuan and said, "Zhou Yuan, throw the ball to me."

"Huh? Alright, Brother Cheng." Zhou Yuan didn't know why Cheng Xing wanted him to throw the basketball back at him in this situation, but he always followed Cheng Xing's instructions. Zhou Yuan threw the basketball back to Cheng Xing.

Only this time, Cheng Xing didn't catch it with his hands but let the basketball slam into his body.Feeling the real pain of the basketball hitting his body, a smile appeared on Cheng Xing's lips.His bold guess wasn't wrong.Perhaps it was because he had dreamed about high school too many times in the middle of the night in recent years.Heaven had sent him back to the high school basketball court thirteen years ago.The dilapidated basketball court, sixteen or seventeen-year-old Zhou Yuan.And seventeen-year-old Chen Qing rejecting his confession on the school basketball court with that love letter.This moment was forever etched in Cheng Xing's memory.He remembered the exact time of this day.September 6, 2010, Monday."You want an explanation, don't you?" Cheng Xing looked down at Chen Qing in front of him and asked with a smile.Chen Qing was stunned. Looking at Cheng Xing who was looking down at her with a smile, Chen Qing felt that Cheng Xing was a little different from usual, but she couldn't tell exactly how.

No matter how Cheng Xing had changed, Chen Qing had to make him explain clearly in front of everyone today.

Ancheng No. 1 High school prohibited early romances.If he didn't help her explain clearly, then if it got to the teachers and then from the teachers to her parents, she would inevitably get another scolding. And she had nothing to do with Cheng Xing, and the more those rumors spread, the worse it would be for her."Yeah, explain it clearly. It's good for everyone. We should focus on our studies right now. If there's anything, we can talk about it when we get to college," Chen Qing nodded.Cheng Xing had been watching a figure for a long time.The figure that was said to be very poor but could make everyone in No. 1 High school feel inferior.She was like a mist, like a fairy who had accidentally fallen from the sky to experience the world, and then after experiencing the ups and downs of the world, she ascended and left, leaving only traces of her existence in this world.She seemed to always be shrouded in a veil.She was impenetrable, full of mystery and intrigue.If he didn't try to understand her, if he didn't get to know her, then would her trajectory in this life still be the same as in her previous life, leaving only traces of her existence in Ancheng No. 1 Middle School, and then disappearing without a trace, becoming a nun?Cheng Xing took back his love letter from Chen Qing.Then he walked towards the back of the crowd.And wherever Cheng Xing passed, the students watching automatically made way for him.No longer blocked by the crowd, the girl who was so quiet and whose stunning beauty could not be hidden even with glasses came into people's view.She was very quiet, as if everyone around her had nothing to do with her."Morning self-study starts soon, the teacher told you to go back." She looked at Cheng Xing and said quietly, then turned to leave."Wait a minute." Cheng Xing suddenly called out to her.The girl turned around and looked at him puzzled.Cheng Xing held the love letter in his hand and smiled at the people around him, "Just now, Chen Qing didn't ask me to give her an explanation? It's true that I wrote this love letter, but the person I wanted to give it to was not her, but Jiang Luoxi."After Cheng Xing finished speaking, he handed the love letter to Jiang Luoxi and then left.Jiang Luoxi, let's start here.Let's get to know each other first.
