Chapter 1 We are all reborn, so who wants to go back to the old ways?

"Let's go to the cafeteria and get some food. You were in a daze the entire study session. You should wake up now."

Xu Yuan listened to the familiar voice next to his ear, felt the force coming from his shoulder, and gradually came back to his senses. He turned his head slightly to the right and saw a boy with natural curly short hair, wheat-colored skin and a round face entering his field of vision.

He was wearing a blue and white striped short-sleeved shirt.

He was familiar with this figure, it was his high school deskmate Yang Bin.

Thinking back to what happened this morning, I still can’t believe it: “I was reborn in high school!”

He clearly remembered that he slept later than usual last night because he was rushing to meet the deadline for the project. He didn't expect that when he woke up again, he saw not his own room, but a dormitory consisting of seven familiar double-decker iron beds. He was called out of bed by Yang Bin, washed his face casually, and ran to the classroom for morning self-study without even brushing his teeth.

The whole class was quite confusing.

Fortunately, the English teacher didn’t come, otherwise he would have had to go outside to the corridor to get some fresh air in his current state.

I wasted an entire morning self-study session to digest everything, and all that was left in my heart was excitement and anticipation for the future.

After all, this is a good thing.

No matter how your life is now, you will always have regrets about the past.

Being able to go back to high school and start over again is something many people dream of!
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Yuan's eyes regained clarity. He looked at his old deskmate who had accompanied him throughout high school and said in a voice that was still a little immature, "You go eat first. I need to talk to my homeroom teacher about something."

"Do you need me to buy you food?" Yang Bin did not ask any more questions. He stood up and replied in a deep voice.

"I'll be there in a minute."

"That's fine."

In response to Xu Yuan's reply, Yang Bin nodded and walked towards the door.

There were only a few people left in the class at this time.

Then Xu Yuan did not delay any longer, went out and walked along the corridor to the comprehensive office building in the east where the teachers were located.

……

Walking on the campus road, the surrounding environment and the figures of classmates running to the cafeteria gradually overlap with the memories deep in my mind.

In that era, housing prices had not yet risen and mobile phones were rare items.

School uniforms are standard in schools in big cities.

Instead, everyone's spirits are vigorous, full of fighting spirit and hope.

Soon Xu Yuan thought of what he was going to do next, and without even bothering to reminisce or sigh, he immediately quickened his pace.

Most of the teachers at Guyuan No. 1 High School live near the school and usually choose to come after breakfast in the morning. This makes it easy for Xu Yuan to find his class teacher after going upstairs.

Wang Qingtao is a mathematics teacher.

"Why didn't you go to eat?" Noticing Xu Yuan coming over, Wang Qingtao raised his head and asked first.

At this point, Xu Yuan naturally would not be like before, not daring to speak in front of the teacher. He would directly state his purpose.

"Homeroom teacher, I want to sign up for the National High School Mathematics League in October."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Qingtao's face suddenly turned stern.

No statement has been made yet.

Xu Yuan was not surprised by his head teacher's reaction.

As early as last year when he was in the second year of high school, he had already signed up for the mathematics league, and it was also the first time that Guyuan No. 1 High School formed a competition class.

As the No. 1 senior high school in Guyuan County, the undergraduate admission rate of its key classes is not much different from that of high schools in the city. Even though it ranks among the best in the province, it has never made any achievements in competitions. All teachers and students in the school focus on the college entrance examination.

Perhaps in order to achieve new results, the principal set up a mathematics competition class last year despite the pressure.

Top math students from each class are selected to participate in the competition.

And let Wang Qingtao be the team leader and be responsible for training.

Unfortunately, after spending a lot of time, only one person won the third prize in the province.

In addition, some parents expressed dissatisfaction with the decline in their children's performance in other subjects, so the school did not mention the competition this year.

This was also a big blow to Wang Qingtao.

"Why do you suddenly have this idea?" Wang Qingtao interrupted Xu Yuan's thoughts, sighed first, and then advised earnestly: "You are already a senior high school student, and next year you will be in the three-year comprehensive mode. I still suggest that you focus on the college entrance examination."

"I want to try again." Xu Yuan answered firmly.

Although he felt regretful about losing the competition in his previous life, he did not continue to participate in the competition due to the pressure of senior high school, but instead prepared for the college entrance examination step by step.

However, due to his poor performance in certain subjects, he just barely met the admission line for the first-class university.

Now that I’m back in high school, how could I possibly go back to the old ways?

He wants to plan his new life.

Make up for regrets.

Moreover, participating in the competition and being admitted to a prestigious university will also help you climb the peak of academician that you have not reached in your previous life. Wang Qingtao raised his hand to press his temple and asked uncertainly: "Did your family enroll you in a competition cram school during the summer vacation?"

"No." Xu Yuan shook his head.

After hearing the answer, Wang Qingtao changed his posture and continued, "You should know the difficulty of the league test. Without special training and guidance, continuing to participate is a waste of your own time."

"I understand."

Although Wang Qingtao didn't know what had stimulated his student to change so drastically, he could still see his determination about this matter. He looked at the other party and finally softened his tone.

The words of persuasion that were already on the tip of my tongue turned into a question: "Do your parents agree with this?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh.

Not everyone has a mobile phone these days, so it’s not easy to contact my parents who are working in the provincial capital.

Thinking of how his parents always respected his opinions, Xu Yuan said directly: "They all support my decision."

that's it.

Finally, with the help of his class teacher, he completed the registration as he wished.

Having experience in participating in competitions can save you a lot of processes.

After filling in the information and paying the registration fee, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. But just as I was about to turn around and go to the cafeteria to get food, Wang Qingtao stopped me again.

"Wait a moment."

"This is yesterday's math test paper. I've already graded it. Please take it back to the class and distribute it."

"Also, you can come to me anytime if you have any questions during this period."

Xu Yuan remembered that the school held a baseline test after the start of the semester. Naturally, he didn't say much about it. He reached out and picked up the math test paper next to his desk.

"Thank you, head teacher."

After thanking Wang Qingtao from the bottom of his heart again, he hurried to the cafeteria.

Wang Qingtao followed Xu Yuan's gaze and shook his head with a complicated expression, and only looked away when the other person disappeared.

It is August, the beginning of the school year, and the reporting time for senior high school students is much earlier than that for sophomores and freshmen.

There are no holidays at all for repeat classes.

Although there are only repeaters and senior high school students in the school now, the battle for food is still fierce every time because the cafeteria only has a small number of windows.

But compared to the past two years when I had to bring my own steamed buns, it’s much happier now.

When Xu Yuan arrived at the cafeteria, it was just past the busiest time. He quickly got his meal and found an open space to eat.

That's right.

At that time, there was no dining table in Guyuan No. 1 High School.

During this time, he did not go out of his way to look for Yang Bin. He went straight back to the classroom after eating.

His class is a key class. Although the province does not currently adopt the model of dividing students into arts and sciences, the students in the class have undergone several changes.

To be honest, I can't recognize the rest except those I am familiar with.

What's more, I haven't seen many of them for twenty years.

So he distributed the test papers to the students who had returned and asked them to help distribute them.

After finishing everything, he took his test paper and returned to his seat. He began to understand why his head teacher had a stern face just now.

"My score just broke three digits. It's really a waste of time to participate in the league with this result."

Looking at the three numbers written in red pen on the test paper, Xu Yuan's memory of the past became clearer.

He remembered that he did not review well during the summer vacation, so it was normal that his grades dropped and he only scored 106 points in math. Unfortunately, this result might be good in other high school classes in the county, but it was not so outstanding in a key class of a high school.

Not to mention trying to achieve results in the league.

But at this moment he was not panicked at all. Although his major in his previous life was not mathematics, he was admitted to Qinghua's graduate school and became an associate researcher after completing his doctorate.

With the hardware now upgraded, he is very confident about the math league in more than a month.

“Re-do the wrong questions first.”

With this thought in mind, Xu Yuan decided to solve the wrong questions first and then make a suitable review plan.

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the pen and looked at the test paper.

It's strange to say, although the class was not very quiet at that time, he quickly immersed himself in solving the wrong questions and was not affected by it, as if all the sounds around him were isolated outside.

I didn't even notice Yang Bin coming back.

Then he was surprised to find that there seemed to be something extra in his field of vision...
