Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

”Ye Jian, this way, this way!” An Jiaxin, who was standing beside Zhang Bin, jumped around like a rabbit and waved at Ye Jian. ”They’ve been waiting a long time for you.”

After she said that, the tall and big Zhang Binchao smiled at his classmates and said, ”Hurry up and think about whether you want to take a picture with Ye Jian alone. Otherwise, she’ll be escorted away by other students after taking the group photos.”

”Me, me, me! When Ye Jian becomes famous in the future, I can even take out the photo to boast to my wife!”

”You’re thinking too far ahead. You don’t even have a girlfriend but you’re already thinking of a wife.”

”I’m coming, I’m coming. Quick, check if my hairstyle is messed up!”

”So troublesome! You won’t become more handsome even when it’s not messy.”

”I’m so nervous. To be able to take a photo with the province’s number one… My palms are sweating.”

Ye Jian smiled and walked over while hearing the boys’ murmurs.

”1,2,3, cheese!” With the clicking sound of the camera, the young and carefree smiles froze in time, becoming the most beautiful memory in the future.

At six o’clock in the evening, when the golden sun was setting, soft sobbing sounds could be heard amidst the laughter. The students who were going home carried their empty school bags. Students who were not assigned to take their exams in this school also packed their bags and checked into hotels closest to their examination venues.

Figures of the parents also appeared on campus. They carried their bags and hurried back and forth as if it was the first day of school. The same figures, the same pace. The direction of their footsteps became a parting.

Holding a camera in her hand, Ye Jian stood in the shade of a tree. Her gaze swept across the familiar campus. Unknowingly, she let out a long sigh.

Three years of high school was over.

”Have you taken a photo with the principal?” An Jiaxin interrupted Ye Jian’s thoughts. Her voice was not as clear as when she took group photos. It was a little heavy. ”I feel that the school has become much quieter.”

It was indeed quiet. Even the faint sunset had retracted its last rays of light, leaving behind hazy colors that enveloped the entire campus.

The usual hustle and bustle had disappeared. The laughter and chanting voices had also disappeared. It seemed like even the cries of cicadas had become much softer. Only a few old, weak, sick, and disabled ones were calling out weakly.

Ye Jian hugged her shoulders and smiled. ”With parting, there is reunion. Let’s look forward to the next time we meet again.” Parting was always a sad topic. Ye Jian smiled and changed the topic. ”Have you packed your things? Can you move them now?”

”I’ve put them all away. The entire dormitory is empty now.” An Jiaxin felt sad for once. It seemed that she wouldn’t be able to walk out of the dormitory anytime soon. She and Ye Jian were having their exams in the school. They planned to stay in the dormitory and wait for her parents after the exams. Ye Jian suggested that they move out of the school and stay with her for a few days.

The college entrance examination arrived as scheduled. There were police officers guarding the front and back doors of the school to pave the way for the students. On such a hot day, parents were holding umbrellas and chatting with smiles on their faces. In reality, they were even more nervous than the examinees.

The buses stopped on both sides of the road to the school. The traffic police led the way and escorted every student into the school. The teachers who followed on the bus once again got on the bus to check. They only left after confirming that all the students had alighted.

The external examinees who came to Provincial No.1 Middle School yesterday were already familiar with the examination venue and knew where their seats were. After entering the school, they went straight to their corresponding examination halls.

Ye Ying, who was wearing the school uniform of Provincial No.2 Middle School, raised her head at the entrance of Provincial No.1 Middle School. After almost two years, she was standing at the entrance of Provincial No.1 Middle School again. In the next few days, she will definitely make this school regret ever dissuading her!
