Nathaniel Zhou is the kind of boy who doesn’t chase girls, otherwise he wouldn’t have had his first girlfriend until his junior year. He did have many girlfriends after leaving school, but it doesn’t mean that Nathaniel Zhou took the initiative.
So after his rebirth, Nathaniel Zhou felt that his rebirth was boring, and he wanted to experience the difference between love in youth and love in society.
There are two reasons for choosing Olivia Tang. One is that Nathaniel Zhou did have a crush on Olivia Tang when he was in high school, which can be said to have made up for the regrets of his youth. The second is that in the original time and space, Olivia Tang would definitely have to repeat a grade. Since she had to repeat a grade, there was no such thing as early love affecting her studies. Since you have to repeat a grade anyway, you might as well take advantage of these two months to have a good relationship.
This is Nathaniel Zhou’s most fundamental thought. He is a reborn person and feels that everything is natural. However, from Olivia Tang’s perspective, it is actually a bit sudden.
Ava Xia , who was standing next to him, was speechless when she heard Nathaniel Zhou's straight-man style remarks. Damn, do you know how to chase girls?
"Olivia Tang, come with me for dinner!" Ava Xia really didn't want to see Nathaniel Zhou, the straight man, continue to be embarrassed, so she said directly.
"Oh, okay!" Olivia Tang felt relieved and quickly ran over to hold Ava Xia 's arm.
Nathaniel Zhou, Ava Xia and Olivia Tang had dinner together. Olivia Tang and Ava Xia walked in front hand in hand, while Nathaniel Zhou followed slowly behind.
Although Nathaniel Zhou is pursuing Olivia Tang, Olivia Tang really can't feel how much Nathaniel Zhou likes her. Everything seems too sudden, making people feel that Nathaniel Zhou is having a conflict with Ava Xia .
Ava Xia also apologized to Olivia Tang very apologetically. She glanced at Nathaniel Zhou who was following behind her and whispered to Olivia Tang, "I'm so sorry, Olivia Tang. He is just stupid. He can't do anything except studying. Please don't tell the teacher."
"No, I think it's quite interesting." Olivia Tang gave Ava Xia a bright smile. Olivia Tang was a girl who was truly gentle to the core. She was gentle and humble to everyone. It was because this girl was so outstanding that there was really no boy around her during her three years of high school.
She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Nathaniel Zhou. Nathaniel Zhou lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.
What was he thinking about?
However, after Nathaniel Zhou took off his glasses, he really seemed like a different person.
We only had fifty minutes to eat in the evening. After a simple meal, we returned to the classroom. The evening self-study get out of class ended at 9:30.
Nathaniel Zhou was waiting for Olivia Tang at the door of her classroom again.
Olivia Tang didn't know if Nathaniel Zhou really liked her or just wanted to piss off Ava Xia . The three of them walked to the bicycle shed, and Olivia Tang mustered up the courage to say to Nathaniel Zhou, "I'm going to ride my bike home."
"Can we go to the movies together this weekend?" Nathaniel Zhou asked.
"Ah?" Every question Nathaniel Zhou asked made Olivia Tang at a loss as to how to respond.
After carefully observing Nathaniel Zhou's expression, she found that he was not joking, so Olivia Tang thought for a moment and asked, "Did you ever stay in the hospital when you were a child?"
"There should be, right?" Nathaniel Zhou didn't remember. After all, it happened more than 20 years ago.
"Should?" Olivia Tang was a little disappointed.
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Olivia Tang shook her head. Did he really forget about her? Then did he ask her out just to have a quarrel with Ava Xia ?
Olivia Tang glanced at Ava Xia who had been following her and said, "I have a tutoring class this week, so..."
"Um"
"Sorry." Olivia Tang felt a little ashamed.
"It's okay. Same thing next weekend."
"next weekend"
After so many attempts, Olivia Tang finally felt too embarrassed to refuse and could only say let's wait and see next weekend.
So it was agreed upon. Olivia Tang breathed a sigh of relief, then pushed her bicycle and hurriedly left Nathaniel Zhou. Fortunately, it was nine o'clock in the evening and the lights in the bicycle shed were dim, otherwise Nathaniel Zhou would have discovered that Olivia Tang's face had been made as red as an apple by Nathaniel Zhou.
"Nathaniel Zhou! You are so lame!" Ava Xia , who had been following behind, finally couldn't help but blurt out after Olivia Tang left. It was really the first time she saw a boy chasing a girl like this. The words Nathaniel Zhou said at that time made Ava Xia couldn't help but hit Nathaniel Zhou on the back of the head.
At 9:30 in the evening, there were very few students left in the school. After the group of people who were attending evening self-study left, only a few students were left in the parking shed, whispering about their own private matters in the silent campus.
After all, he has not yet completely adapted to the life of a high school student, so everything Nathaniel Zhou did today was a little inexplicable. Even Ava Xia , who has always had a good relationship with Nathaniel Zhou, has become less able to talk to Nathaniel Zhou after a short period of time together.
The two of them walked home in silence, with the dim street lights casting a shadow on the road. In 2009, there were not many cars on the road, and most people still used bicycles as a means of transportation.
"Do you really like Olivia Tang?" Ava Xia asked cautiously.
"Yeah." Nathaniel Zhou asked as a matter of course.
"But the college entrance examination is only two months away. You have worked so hard for the past three years, isn't it just for the college entrance examination?" Ava Xia didn't understand. She looked at Nathaniel Zhou, trying to find the answer on his face.
Nathaniel Zhou's face didn't show much expression. He just said, "It doesn't matter. I have learned everything I should learn. I have to put an end to my youth."
"so what?"
Nathaniel Zhou turned around and looked at Ava Xia very seriously. This was the first time Nathaniel Zhou looked directly at Ava Xia , which made Ava Xia feel a little uncomfortable. Although the two seemed close, Nathaniel Zhou had never looked at Ava Xia like this before.
"I want to fall in love." Nathaniel Zhou looked directly at Ava Xia and said that, which made Ava Xia 's heart skip a beat. But then Ava Xia realized, "Do you really want to pursue Olivia Tang?"
"Um."
Nathaniel Zhou answered seriously again, which made Ava Xia feel a little disappointed. After seeing Nathaniel Zhou's serious look, Ava Xia opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was afraid of discouraging Nathaniel Zhou.
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if you failed an exam?"
"Your mother hasn't taken a penny from your father since her divorce. Your aunt's monthly salary is only 1,800 yuan, and she has borrowed a lot from relatives and friends to support your studies. Your aunt has no other wish but to hope that you can get into a good university and make a name for yourself. If you fail to get into a good university because of a girl." Ava Xia said this very carefully, paying attention to the changes in Nathaniel Zhou's expression as she spoke.
Halfway through her speech, Ava Xia suddenly stopped talking and changed the subject: "Olivia Tang's father is a big boss. When we had the parents' meeting, Olivia Tang's mother came to drive the car. Let me tell you, her mother is so beautiful. She doesn't look like her mother at all, but more like her sister. I heard that her family has several cars. Her father drives a Mercedes-Benz, which costs hundreds of thousands, more expensive than our house."
"What do you want to say?" Nathaniel Zhou actually knew what the little girl was thinking.
"I, I didn't want to say anything. I just wanted to say that it doesn't matter if she doesn't pass the exam, but it's not okay for you to do poorly. You can't let your aunt down." Ava Xia lowered her head and said a little aggrievedly.
What Ava Xia actually wanted to tell Nathaniel Zhou was that Olivia Tang is a wealthy lady and her car costs hundreds of thousands, which is more expensive than our house. We are both children from poor families and live in shanty towns. Why do you want to confess your love to Olivia Tang?
"Do you know why Olivia Tang is so beautiful, but no other boy confessed his love to her during the three years of high school?"
"Why?"
"Because Olivia Tang's family is rich, she is beautiful and good at studying, who can be worthy of her? I think a girl like Olivia Tang can probably only be worthy of those big stars on TV or children from rich families?" Ava Xia said.
"Ava Xia , love is not a business, and money is not the only criterion for measuring love. I like her, and it has nothing to do with money." Nathaniel Zhou interrupted Ava Xia with a sentence.
Ava Xia was choked for a moment, then lowered her head with a bitter smile on her face: "Oh yeah...that's right."
