......
Jinling No. 1 High School, Senior Year Class 2.
"Students, make sure to use the weekend to familiarize yourselves with your abilities. The school will organize a practical training session next week, and this is the only one before the college entrance exam. I hope you all seize this opportunity."
Ye Lan's eyes were hazy. Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, his consciousness quickly cleared.
A few minutes later, looking at his former classmates around him, he finally confirmed that he had been reborn.
And he was reborn on the day he had just awakened his ability in his senior year.
This morning, all senior year students gathered on the sports field for the awakening ceremony.
Ye Lan was the only A-grade talent in their class, but he was a Power System awakener.
There were only three A-grade talents in the entire senior year, and most people were C or D.
B-grade could already be considered very talented, while A-grade was the recognized threshold for genius. Above that was S, but that level of talent hadn't been seen at Jinling No. 1 High School for a long time.
As the teacher announcing the end of class left the room, the class immediately became boisterous. Some students also left in groups of two or three. Having just awakened their abilities, everyone seemed very excited.
"Ye Lan, you have to treat us today. You can't refuse this time, right?" A slightly overweight classmate came over.
Ye Lan glanced at him and then remembered that his name was Fan Tong. On this day in his previous life, it was the first time he had treated people to a meal, and this guy had really fleeced him, leaving him with no money to pay the bill and forcing him to borrow money from a girl in the next class.
"Let's skip today. I'll treat you to your favorite 'Big Pen Beans' another day."
"What are 'Big Pen Beans'? I've never eaten them before?" Fan Tong didn't understand what Ye Lan was saying.
Rebirth happening to him, the heavens must have truly opened their eyes. Seeing how pitiful he was in his previous life, even dying at the hands of his girlfriend, they arranged this opportunity for him to change his fate.
What honest person? Go to hell! He would never fall in love again in this life!
Clearing his thoughts, Ye Lan just wanted to hurry home and cultivate properly. Nothing was more important than improving his strength. Strength could solve everything.
If it couldn't be solved, it meant his strength wasn't enough!
Watching the indifferent-looking Ye Lan walk out of the classroom alone, Fan Tong and a few classmates next to him were all surprised.
In their eyes, Ye Lan had always been an honest person. He was usually very polite when talking and getting along with others, and he would basically not refuse if classmates asked him for help.
What was wrong today? This morning, when Ye Lan awakened his A-grade talent, he still seemed very humble in front of his classmates!
Ye Lan walked out of the school gate and suddenly saw a back ahead that made him stiffen all over.
Zhao Ziqing, his girlfriend from his previous life, the class beauty from the next class, and also the culprit who ultimately killed him.
Looking at her tall figure and the slightly swaying slender waist as she walked, Ye Lan's heart fell silent for a moment.
In his previous life, he must have been blinded by lard. Although he wasn't a lecher, he couldn't withstand the tactics of this 'green tea' girl.
A phone suddenly fell from Zhao Ziqing, who was walking ahead, but she seemed completely unaware and continued walking forward.
Within a few steps, Ye Lan just happened to walk up to the phone.
Seeing this familiar scene, he revealed a cold smile.
That's right, this was where they met. According to the development of his previous life, Ye Lan would pick up the phone and give it to her, then Zhao Ziqing would thank him profusely and say that she had been paying attention to Ye Lan for a long time, and then they would exchange contact information.
Fan Tong and the others behind him also caught up and asked Ye Lan to treat them. At the same time, they brought Zhao Ziqing along. Ye Lan, who had been fleeced, had no money to pay the bill. Zhao Ziqing saw this and took the initiative to lend him money to help him out.
Ye Lan, who had never been in a relationship, couldn't withstand this sudden concern from a beautiful girl and was easily manipulated by her within just one week.
But now Ye Lan knew that when he awakened his A-grade talent on the school sports field this morning, Zhao Ziqing had set her eyes on him.
This phone was deliberately dropped by Zhao Ziqing because she had found out that Ye Lan had the personality of a pushover and would definitely pick it up for her.
After Ye Lan stared at the phone on the ground for two seconds, he simply ignored it and walked away. He didn't want to have any interaction with Zhao Ziqing now.
Zhao Ziqing, who was waiting slowly ahead, suddenly saw Ye Lan walk past her and was stunned for a moment.
What's going on?
Was he blind? Did he not see my phone dropped on the ground? Or did he see it but didn't want to pick it up?
She had already rehearsed in her mind how to talk to Ye Lan, but this sudden turn of events completely threw her off.
Just then, a tall student walked up to Zhao Ziqing.
"Ziqing, what's wrong? Who is that person?"
Gao Jun and Zhao Ziqing were classmates, and he was also Zhao Ziqing's suitor.
As soon as he left school, he subconsciously looked for Zhao Ziqing. He happened to see Zhao Ziqing staring at Ye Lan's back, and his face immediately darkened.
"Ah, it's nothing."
"Oh, right, my phone!"
Zhao Ziqing stopped pretending and quickly went back to pick up her phone.
???
Gao Jun was even more confused when he saw the phone on the ground. He really wanted to know what had happened between Zhao Ziqing and Ye Lan just now.
"Ziqing, let's go to the gym together. We're going to train in the Dimensional Rift next week, so it's a good time to practice our abilities."
"Sorry, Gao Jun, I have something to do. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, Zhao Ziqing glanced at her phone, confirmed it was intact, and left without looking back.
Gao Jun was left standing there feeling a bit awkward. Although Zhao Ziqing had refused him before, she would usually give a plausible reason. This time, she had just left directly.
His intuition told him it must be related to the boy who walked past earlier.
He called two of his lackeys over and chased after Ye Lan together.
A few minutes later, just as Ye Lan reached a corner, he was stopped.
"Kid, you dare to touch my woman, Gao Jun's woman? You've got guts, huh?" Gao Jun had always been domineering at school. Without any regard for the situation, he immediately adopted a confrontational attitude!
"Your woman? Who is she?" Ye Lan was a bit puzzled, wondering which woman he had touched that he didn't know about.
"Okay, okay, you're playing dumb with me, huh?"
"Take him away, go to that alley over there." He instructed his two classmates who were his lackeys and then walked over first.
The two lackeys came up, one on the left and one on the right, grabbed Ye Lan's arms, and pulled him towards the alley.
Ye Lan didn't resist at all, letting the two of them escort him in.
"I'll show you how to play dumb!" As soon as Ye Lan entered, Gao Jun turned and threw a punch.
"Bang!"
Then, under the shocked gaze of the two lackeys, Gao Jun was sent flying backward!
Ye Lan retracted his leg and stood firm, shook off the two people, rushed over, and gave Gao Jun two solid punches right in the face!
"Ah! Ah!"
That kind of scream made one feel how painful it was just by listening!
Immediately after, tears streamed down his face. Gao Jun raised his hand to cover his nose, but it was so painful that he didn't even dare to touch it himself.
Two streams of fresh blood flowed uncontrollably from his nostrils, and his mouth and chin were instantly stained red!
"Please, you must tell me, what exactly was I pretending about?"
"Also, who exactly is your woman? Why don't I remember touching her?"
