After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book

The two hit it off immediately, and together with Shen Xu who wanted to be with them life and death, the three stopped the car and went directly to the Zhonghai Opera House.

The time when school was over was also the rush hour for get off work. The taxi was stuck on the road for nearly half an hour, and it was already past seven o'clock when the three of them were delivered to their destination. The performance started at 8 o'clock. After Shen Xu went to buy a ticket, Pan Liuyi took them to a nearby restaurant familiarly, and just entered the venue after eating.

Jiang Chen seldom came to this kind of occasion, and sitting in the auditorium at this time, looking at the dimmed lights on the stage, was also a novel experience.

Shen Xu's ticket was not with them, and only Pan Liuyi was sitting next to him. When the curtain was announced, she leaned into his ear and whispered: "My sister doesn't seem to be sitting with us. She is in front. I don't know how to change it." location, after the show is over, you and I will go find her together."

Jiang Chen looked forward along her fingers, his gaze paused, and he saw a familiar figure unexpectedly.

Pan Liuyi thought he hadn't found it, so she reminded in a low voice, "It's in front, next to the boy in Chenghua's school uniform with a very white neck, that curly haired, very cute little girl, have you seen it?"

Jiang Chen moved his gaze to the right, and saw the little girl sitting next to He Qianmin, wearing a ponytail and wearing the school uniform of the attached high school. She was sitting upright, and she should be watching the performance very seriously.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he whispered: "I see."

Pan Liuyi nodded and sat up straight.

The ensemble on one side of the stage played the familiar Swan Lake, and the cygnets in ballet costumes entered the arena lively, dancing and dancing with the music, and the ballet performance officially began.

Jiang Chen watched the performance on the stage seriously, but he was probably born with no artistic talent, and within a few minutes he started to focus on two tasks, thinking about the Olympiad questions he had just seen in the exercise book that Pan Liuyi gave him, and putting that one into practice. After solving the few problems that Page saw, his eyebrows frowned. Part of the last problem was on the next page, and one condition was missing.

He moved his fingers on his knees, wanting to turn out the exercise book and read the entire question, but the occasion was obviously inappropriate, so he could only calm down and search for the answer in his mind based on the existing conditions. The idea of ​​​​solving the problem, along the line of thought, gradually completed the stem of the problem, and also knew how to understand it.

At the same time that Jiang Chen got the answer in his mind, the atmosphere of the music in his ears changed. He subconsciously looked up, and saw a little girl in a black tutu skirt coming to the center of the stage, jumping and turning in circles with the sound of the string music. , with a slender neck and a raised chin, like an elegant black swan.

She danced to the music and the plot, and Jiang Chen's eyes moved with her movements unconsciously. The little girl had a special attraction, and every move caught his attention. Jiang Chen followed her into the plot, He followed her into the high court and ended the curtain with her. It wasn't until the end of the stage play that the applause sounded, and he applauded belatedly.

When he walked out of the gate of the theater, the sense of wonder in Jiang Chen's heart had not faded. Before that, even if he wanted to relax, he seldom chose audio-visual entertainment. Whether it was movies and TV shows that the general public loved or relatively small concerts and stage plays, it was better for him to have a game with his friends. Ball or perform a difficult operation smoothly.

But after today, he discovered that it feels good to completely relax the brain that has been working all the time, and devote himself to a performance.

"How about the Swan Lake just now?"

Finding an open place, Pan Liuyi stood on the highest step, looking for his cousin Li Xiao in the crowd, and casually asked Jiang Chen.

"This is the first time I've watched a ballet performance." Jiang Chen said, "It's unexpected and very interesting."

Pan Liuyi turned her head and smiled and said, "Really? I didn't know about this before, it was because Xiaoxiao's good friend is a member of the Yan City Children's Ballet Troupe. I watched it with her a few times before I fell in love with it. Usually when the pressure of study is high , I will watch a few ballet performances, and I feel very relaxed after watching them.”

Jiang Chen nodded and smiled, handed the ticket money to Pan Liuyi, pointed to the workbook in the bag and said, "You have already paid me for helping me, so of course I should pay for the ticket myself, and this wonderful event The show was worth my money."

Pan Liuyi hesitated for a moment, but still took the money.

The two stood on the steps and watched for a long time, but they couldn't find Li Xiao. Pan Liuyi's eyes kept moving through the crowd. Suddenly, she didn't know what to think, her eyes lit up, and she said to Jiang Chen: "I see! She should I went backstage to find her friends! Before her friends performed, she would occasionally go backstage directly."

Jiang Chen asked, "Do you know where the backstage is?"

"I know!" Pan Liuyi had already jumped down the steps in a hurry, and said, "I've been there once, go this way."

Pan Liuyi successfully found the backstage of the theater, but the backstage did not allow idlers to come in and out at will, and they were stopped outside the door.

Pan Liuyi sighed and said: "I have forgotten that I was able to go in before because Xiaoxiao had a family ticket from her friend, and now I can only wait outside." A little apology floated on her face: "I'm sorry, Jiang Chen, I'm sorry. It's already so late, and I asked you to wait here with me."

Jiang Chen smiled lightly: "It's the same to wait here, and your exercise book is worth it."

Pan Liuyi burst out laughing, blinked and said, "Jiang Chen, I found that you are different from the rumors."

Jiang Chen was a little surprised: "Rumor?"

"Yeah, don't you know? Not only in Yanyi, but even our attached middle school has heard a lot about you. In the first year of high school, someone posted on our school forum commenting on the most handsome school girl in Yanshi Middle School. Yours Votes..."

Halfway through Pan Liuyi's speech, Jiang Chen's cell phone rang. He smiled apologetically, walked to a secluded corner, and pressed the answer button.

"Jiang Zi! Why haven't you come here yet!" Shen Xu's voice came from the microphone: "Didn't you agree to meet at the cold drink shop by the road?"

"Li Xiao seems to have gone backstage. Pan Liuyi and I are waiting for her outside the stage. You wait at the cold drink shop for a while, we should be out soon."

"But after I ordered a drink, I realized that I had just spent all my money on the ticket!" Shen Xu lowered his voice, wanting to cry, and said, "Now the boss is staring at me, probably thinking that I want to eat the overlord's meal, why don't you If I don’t come, I’ll probably be dragged to wash the dishes by him! Brother Jiang! I need you! Come and save me!”

Jiang Chen laughed: "Let me tell Pan Liuyi to come over right away."

Seeing that Jiang Chen came back not long after, Pan Liuyi asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"It's Shen Xu." Jiang Chen said helplessly: "He has no money on him, and he can't pay for the drink. I'll go and pay for him first. Later, you will bring Li Xiao to the cold drink shop to find us, okay?"

Pan Liuyi couldn't help laughing, she waved her hand and said, "Go, we'll just wait for the meeting."

Jiang Chen nodded, turned around and walked out quickly.

Pan Liuyi smiled and looked away, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Li Xiao appearing in the corridor. She was overjoyed, and immediately waved: "Xiaoxiao! Here!"

Li Xiao was talking to someone, when she heard a familiar voice, she looked up and asked in surprise, "Sister, why are you here?"

"I'm here to pick you up." Pan Liuyi held her hand, and then politely greeted the others: "Hello, Uncle He, Auntie Yang, Qianyu, your black swan this time is so beautiful!"

"Thank you, Sister Liu Yi." He Qianyu grinned and showed her small white teeth, dimples on both sides of her cheeks were obvious: "You came to the show too, why didn't you come with Xiaoxiao?"

Pan Liuyi smiled and said, "I came with other friends, I didn't tell Xiaoxiao."

Yang Yun withdrew his gaze, and said, "The other friend you mentioned is the boy who just left?"

Pan Liuyi didn't expect Yang Yun to interject, she was surprised for a moment before answering: "Yes."

"Is he also a student of your school?" Yang Yun asked again.

"No." Pan Liuyi shook her head and said, "He's from Yanyi Middle School. I'm looking for him because I want to..." Halfway through speaking, she glanced at Li Xiao, and seeing that she didn't notice anything, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm looking for him." He has something to do, so he happened to have two tickets, so let him come with him."

"Then what's the boy's name, how old is he, and..."

"Mom!" He Qianyu interrupted Yang Yun and said, "If you ask sister Liu Yi like that, she will be embarrassed!"

Yang Yun was stunned, and belatedly realized that she was very abrupt in asking questions just now, but for some reason, the moment the boy's side face came into view accidentally before, a very strange feeling floated in her heart. The feeling made her quicken her pace unconsciously, wanting to see the boy's appearance more clearly.

It's just that the boy disappeared from her sight just after she took a few steps, so when she just heard that Pan Liuyi met the boy, she unconsciously asked so many questions.

"Sorry." Yang Yun smiled apologetically, suppressing the strangeness in her heart and said, "Auntie asked too many questions just now, I hope you don't mind."

"It's okay." Pan Liuyi didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile, "Auntie, you don't need to apologize."

He Yanfeng hugged Yang Yun's waist, and asked gently: "Xiao Pan, how are you and Xiaoxiao going back? Do you want uncle to send you off?"

"No need." Pan Liuyi said: "My friends are still waiting for me outside, Xiaoxiao and I will meet up with them later, and then go back together."

"Okay then, be careful."

"Okay." Pan Liuyi and Li Xiao said goodbye together: "Goodbye uncle and aunt, goodbye Qianyu."

Out of the sight of the He family, Li Xiao pulled Lapan Liuyi and asked, "Sister, why did you come to the show with people from Yanyi Middle School?"

Pan Liuyi froze, and said vaguely: "It's just...I have something to do with him, and you happened to give me two tickets, so I brought him along."

"Really?" Li Xiao was surprised: "But I never heard that you have friends from Yanyi Middle School before."

Pan Liuyi laughed twice to hide her guilty conscience: "Your sister and I are so beautiful, so we are naturally very popular. It's strange to have a friend from Yanyi Middle School."

"Then what's your friend's name?"

"You'll know it when you get there."

Li Xiao didn't ask any more questions. After a while, she whispered, "Sister, don't you think Aunt Yang was a little strange just now?"

Pan Liuyi put all her heart and soul into preventing Li Xiao from guessing her purpose, and said casually, "It's not weird, I don't think it's weird."

"Although Aunt Yang was very gentle before, she seldom asked about other people's affairs. Qianyu and I played together since we were young. Even if Qianyu brought a boy home, I never saw her ask others like this. But she asked you so many questions just now, obviously you are not familiar with each other, isn't that strange?"

"It's so strange." Pan Liuyi didn't care much: "It's just two or three questions. Generally, when parents see boys and girls our age standing together, they will ask a few more questions. It's normal."

Li Xiao was dubious: "Really?"

"real."

He Qianyu also had Li Xiao's doubts.

As soon as he got into the car, He Qianyu said to He Qianmin who had just gone to the bathroom and didn't see that scene: "Brother, you didn't see it just now. Mom is very curious about the friends brought by sister Liu Yi and asked a lot of questions." !"

He Qianmin leaned lazily, playing with his mobile phone and perfunctorily said: "Oh, what did you ask?"

"It's just what is the boy's name, how old, etc. My mother has never asked others like that before." He Qianyu emphasized: "Even when I saw you and the girls after school, my mother never asked!"

"The friend she brings is a man?" He Qianmin was a little surprised, but still didn't raise his eyes: "What's your name?"

"I don't know." He Qianyu was distressed and worried: "Is that boy sister Liu Yi's boyfriend? Brother, why does sister Liu Yi have a boyfriend but you don't have a girlfriend? Is it because you have too much personality?" Too bad, no girl wants you?"

He Qianmin pinched the tip of her nose: "You don't care about me."

"Hmph." He Qianyu avoided his hand: "Your personality is definitely not as good as Sister Liu Yi's boyfriend, and you are definitely not as good-looking as Sister Liu Yi's boyfriend, and your grades may not be as good as others, so all these things It's why you can't find a girlfriend."

"I'll treat you badly if I find a girlfriend." He Qianmin threatened her: "When the time comes, don't make me cry."

He Qianyu made a grimace: "You are not treating me well now."

When the car drove out of the garage and was waiting to change lanes, He Yanfeng took the time to glance at his wife and saw that she was staring out the window in a daze, wondering what she was thinking, so he couldn't help asking: "Wife, what are you thinking about?"

Yang Yun was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't speak. She didn't come back to herself until He Yanfeng asked again.

"It's nothing." Yang Yun said thoughtfully, "I just don't know why, but I'm a little concerned about the boy I saw just now."

"Liu Yi's friend?" He Yanfeng was puzzled: "I only saw his back, not his appearance. What's so strange about him?"

"No..." Yang Yun shook his head: "It's just an indescribable feeling."

He Yanfeng: "How does it feel?"

Yang Yun glanced at him: "It's an indescribable feeling after I've said it all."

He Yanfeng shrugged, and wisely stopped asking.

However, He Qianmin became a bit interested and asked, "Mom, what does that guy look like? Tell me, I have many friends in the middle school, maybe I have seen it and have an impression."

"That's not from the attached middle school!" He Qianyu said: "Sister Liu Yi said that that brother is from Yanshi No. 1 Middle School."

"Yan Yizhong?" He Qianmin clicked his tongue: "Then I don't know, I only know one person in Yan Yizhong."

He Qianyu was curious: "Who is it?"

He Qianmin lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, and said lazily, "I won't tell you."

When the He family's car drove towards the first intersection of traffic lights, Pan Liuyi led Li Xiao into the cold drink shop.

There are only Jiang Chen and Shen Xu in the cold drink shop, and Li Xiao saw them at a glance, her eyes shuttled between the two, curious, "Sister, didn't you say that there is only one friend? Why are there two here. "

"It's two people." Pan Liuyi pulled Li Xiao to sit down on the two seats opposite, looked at the two people opposite and introduced: "This is Shen Xu, this is Jiang Chen, the one Aunt Yang saw just now is Jiang Chen, Shen Xu is waiting for us here."

Shen Xu waved his hand to say hello, Jiang Chen raised his eyes, met Li Xiao's gaze, smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Jiang Chen."

Li Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Pan Liuyi, and then turned back to the opposite side: "Are you Jiang Chen? The first Jiang Chen in the joint exam?"

Jiang Chen pursed his lips and smiled, "Nice to meet you."

Li Xiao nodded, said hello, then turned to Pan Liuyi, "Sister, why didn't I know you knew Jiang Chen? How did you know him?"

"That's right..." Pan Liuyi said vaguely, "Friends know each other, and then they get to know each other."

"But why didn't I know that before?"

"There are a lot of things you don't know." Pan Liuyi rubbed her head, not forgetting the purpose of this meeting: "How do you feel when you see him?"

Li Xiao was puzzled: "What does it feel like?"

"It's just...he's older than you, and it doesn't matter if he passed you. You don't have to lose feelings about it."

Li Xiao shook his head: "I'm not disappointed, it's normal that he passed me, because next time I will definitely pass him."

Shen Xu applauded and gave Li Xiao a thumbs up: "Ambition!" Jiang Chen also laughed.

Pan Liuyi was at a loss for a few seconds: "Then why are you unhappy these two days? Frowning every day like a little old man."

"I'm not unhappy." Li Xiao lowered his head and took a sip of the milk tea: "I was thinking about one thing, a very strange thing."

Pan Liuyi: "What's the matter?"

"It's... Qianyu's elder brother." Li Xiao frowned, "He's a little strange."

Pan Liuyi: "Strange? Are you talking about He Qianmin or He Qianjian."

"He Qianjian."

"What's so strange about him?"

"The results are very strange." Li Xiao recalled for a while, and said slowly: "I went to Qianyu's house to play, and accidentally entered Qianjian's room, and saw the competition exercises on his desk, one of which was opened I couldn't resist flipping through the Mathematical Olympiad course, and found that he only wrote the first few pages, and he didn't write a single question in the other few books..."

Jiang Chen raised his eyes abruptly.

"What's so strange about this." Pan Liuyi was puzzled.

"It's very strange." Li Xiao looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Brother Jiang Chen, you should understand what I mean."

Under the curious gazes of Pan Liuyi and Shen Xu, he nodded and said, "The Mathematics Olympiad tutorial is an entry-level competition question, and it is usually used in the first year of high school."

"Yes." Li Xiao said: "What's even more strange is that his problem-solving ideas are in a mess. It doesn't look like the students in the competition did the problems, and even the students with better math scores can't compare..."

She pinched the straw and poked the pearls in the milk tea, "Actually, I didn't think much about it at the time. I thought it might be Brother Qian Jian who gave the test book to Brother Qian Min to make it. But then I went to Qian Yu's room and happened to hear Qian Min Brother Min gave a lecture to Qian Yu, and at that time he knew that the question book could not be made by Brother Qian Min, and to be sure, I deliberately asked Brother Qian Min a question, and his answer confirmed my guess even more."

Shen Xu didn't understand: "Can you see this too? How did you see it?"

Li Xiao explained: "Although there is only one standard answer to a math problem, it is like everyone has a different way of solving a problem. A person's mathematical thinking can be seen from the problems he does, especially in the When doing advanced math problems."

Pan Liuyi was still puzzled: "But even if those questions were done by He Qianjian, it doesn't mean anything. It's normal to be biased in subjects. This at most proves that he is not suitable for math competitions, so maybe it's because he didn't go in the first year of high school. The reason for the competition class, but these do not affect that he is still the first in Chenghua's grade, after all, the college entrance examination is not just one subject."

"This is the strange part." Li Xiao paused, and said a little embarrassedly: "Later, because I was really curious, I ran to He Qianjian's room and secretly found out the test papers of his previous exams. There are even stranger things."

Li Xiao's progressive narration aroused the curiosity of Shen Xu and Pan Liuyi, and they hurriedly asked, "What's more strange?"

"He Qianjian's papers in each period have different ways of solving problems, not only in mathematics, but I also read his Chinese reading comprehension and his previous compositions." Li Xiao paused, and said: "Those who don't answer well It seems that the thinking of solving the problem has changed over time, but it seems... different people made the paper."
