After the college entrance exams ended, Qin Jiao hadn’t seen Chen Feng again. There was no reason for her to, of course. After all, other than having been classmates, they had no other connection.

However, Qin Jiao had heard from Jiang Xiaoyue that on the day of the exams, Lin Nian was first rushed to the hospital and had a miscarriage. Later, before she was even discharged, she was investigated and questioned by the police. After that, she was sentenced to prison.

Everyone had assumed Chen Feng would be worried sick about Lin Nian and that it would affect his exam performance. But surprisingly, he performed exceptionally well, and when the final scores were released, he placed fifth in his entire grade.

At the time, Jiang Xiaoyue had vented to Qin Jiao that Chen Feng couldn’t possibly like Lin Nian. Otherwise, why would his exam performance not only be completely unaffected but also be exceptionally good?

Chen Feng’s exceptional performance on the exams made his mother, Li Xiaomei, ecstatic. While the mother and son were celebrating, Lin Nian had lost her baby, damaged her health, and ended up in prison.

In the end, Jiang Xiaoyue concluded that although Lin Nian got what she deserved, Chen Feng and his mom were a pair of cruel, heartless people.

But Qin Jiao knew that if Lin Nian hadn’t suddenly appeared and done all those things, Chen Feng should have tied with her for first place in their grade, and even been the top scorer in the province.

But now...

Although Qin Jiao was still wary of Shen Yi, she knew that—aside from being unable to return his feelings—she trusted him far more than she trusted Chen Feng.

Chen Feng’s gaze swept over Qin Jiao’s face, marveling at how she had gotten even more beautiful, before his eyes finally landed on Shen Yi.

Chen Feng said, "Heard you did well on the exams. Congratulations."

In his past life, Shen Yi had really despised Chen Feng and had always been painfully overshadowed by his brilliance. But in this life, he had worked incredibly hard and had now surpassed him. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Not to mention that in his eyes, the Chen Feng standing before him was nothing more than a brat.

So, Shen Yi replied calmly, "You did pretty well too. Just a little behind me and Jiao Jiao, is all."

Chen Feng’s brow twitched. He said, "My mom is marrying your dad. Did you know?"

"Your mom and Shen Zhengfeng? They still haven’t gotten married? Oh, and one correction: Shen Zhengfeng is not my father. He has been and will continue to be *your* father. Make sure your mom keeps a tight leash on him, so he doesn’t get seduced into cheating by some other girl with no morals."

Chen Feng was so furious that veins started throbbing on his forehead.

Meanwhile, Shen Yi took Qin Jiao’s hand and leisurely sauntered away. Once they were at a distance, Qin Jiao said, torn between laughter and exasperation, "I’m just now realizing you have a seriously sharp tongue. And by the way, weren’t you the one who said Chen Feng was just a little kid in your eyes? Why did you get so worked up back there?"

"Because he looked at you one too many times." Shen Yi was an incredibly sensitive person. In his past life, he’d had a terrible temper, the kind that would explode at the slightest provocation. Now, he kept it suppressed and didn’t blow up easily, but he remained hyper-sensitive to the people and conversations around him.

So now, Shen Yi said with grim persistence, "Jiao Jiao, do you remember what you said about Lin Nian having a dream? What if... what if the dream she talked about was actually real?"

Rebirth had already happened. At this point, anything, no matter how strange, could be real.

Before, neither of them knew the other had also come back from the future, so they couldn’t really discuss the matter. But now, seeing Chen Feng’s reaction—especially that cryptic look in his eyes just now—Shen Yi started to worry.

’What if Chen Feng was reborn too, and came back to pursue Jiao Jiao?’
