The Reawakened Heart and Confessions of a Past Life Chapter 9

The sun is not very strong in the morning.

Despite this, when walking into the campus, as long as Grace Bai saw Martin Lin's shadow on the ground, she would stretch out her little feet and step on it to vent her inner dissatisfaction.

Maybe he was too engrossed in the whole thing and didn't notice that Martin Lin had stopped and bumped into his back hard.

Martin Lin turned around and held her steady with his hand: "What are you thinking about? Why are you so serious?"

Grace Bai avoided his gaze and didn't dare to look at him.

After a long while without any movement, he looked up at Martin Lin again. When he found that he was staring at him intently, he quickly broke free and turned sideways to prevent him from looking.

The two walked into the classroom one after the other.

In the third year of high school, everyone’s attention is basically focused on studying, and there is little gossip, as long as it does not affect themselves.

Even those who don't like studying would feel embarrassed to make noise in the classroom.

This is how Mr. Chen Lao guides. Every student in the class will not give up. Even if they are not doing well in academics, they cannot be forced to study hard. As long as they learn how to be a good person and do their best in terms of grades, that's enough.

As for why Martin Lin always went against him before, it was simply because of face issues. Students in their rebellious period are basically the same. They understand the truth, but just don’t want to do it.

After returning to his seat, Martin Lin did not continue to embarrass Grace Bai, but took out his textbook to review.

Grace Bai watched the whole series of actions, and felt secretly delighted in her heart.

This mood continued until the end of morning self-study get out of class, and when Martin Lin was about to leave the classroom, he began to frown.

"Any sugar?"

Martin Lin didn't leave his seat in a hurry, but asked Grace Bai for candy.

"Yes, there are..."

Taking it out from the drawer, Martin Lin took it, immediately opened the package and put it into his mouth.

"Let's go!"

Even though I wanted to remind him not to smoke, I couldn't open my mouth in the end.

Grace Bai sighed, feeling a little annoyed.

Outside the classroom.

The main purpose of Martin Lin's coming out was to explain to Miles Kong. After all, he was his high school brother, and he would be a close friend in the future. They had always shared joys and sorrows and never deserted the battlefield. He didn't want him to continue to degenerate no matter what.

It's not that he's meddling, but Martin Lin remembered that when they were having a party and chatting, Miles Kong complained more than once or twice about how a lot of time was wasted.

Compared to Miles Kong, his roommates in college were more scheming and there were only one or two of them who were fun to play with. The rest said they were worried that their friends would not live well, but secretly they were afraid that their friends would eat more than them.

...

There are only a few gathering places.

It's either a toilet or a storage room. There is a certain risk in the toilet. If you are unlucky, you might meet Mr. Chen Lao.

What Martin Lin still remembers vividly is that one time when they were gathering in the toilet, he thought a brother had come over and calmly handed the mosquito coil to him, but he heard the familiar voice of his head teacher.

"He lives a good life and smokes more expensive cigarettes than I do."

The door to the storage room.

Before he knocked on the door, Martin Lin could hear the noise coming from inside.

"Fatty, open the door."

After knocking regularly, Miles Kong poked his head out.

"Why, someone said he couldn't come yesterday, but couldn't help it today?"

"Go away, I'm here to tell you that I don't plan to come here anymore. You should also be careful and go to college. There are still a few months left. I hate hearing this, but without a degree, you will have fewer options."

This was only said to Miles Kong. As for the people inside, they had never contacted him except to borrow money from him, so there was no need to remind them. They were not saints.

"What's wrong, Brother Yu? What happened these past two days?" Miles Kong closed the door of the storage room, then pulled Martin Lin to the other side and put his arm around his shoulders. "Brother Yu, tell me the truth. Have you encountered any problems recently? Don't be afraid of dragging me down. If there is anything, I will be the first to help!"

Don’t be fooled by Miles Kong’s straightforward speech now. He will be very gentle in the future. It is obvious that he is a different person compared to now.

"Your sister-in-law doesn't allow smoking."

...

"Honestly, review now so you don't regret it later."

What's more, Miles Kong's family is a little different. His parents divorced early and he has lived with his mother since he was a child. Although he looks optimistic now, he is actually under a lot of pressure inside. Otherwise, when a junior girl confessed her love to him at graduation, how could he not accept her?

It was not until later, when I made a little money, that I dared to try love. As a result, I had no experience at all, was fooled into spending money, and was still happy about it...

"What's wrong, Brother Yu? You have been acting strange these past two days."

Miles Kong still couldn't believe it. He was the one who usually took the lead, but now he said he would study hard? If he said nothing happened, he would never believe it!

"Listen to your brother and study hard. Don't come to me and cry about your regrets later. A grown man with a sloppy nose..."

"Bullsh!t! I'm still strong even when my disc is stolen!"

Martin Lin didn't have time to continue wasting time with him. After giving him a few final reminders, he went to the sink, wet his palms, and then patted them on his school uniform to get rid of the tobacco smell that had just come from Miles Kong.

When he smelled it himself, the smell had dissipated a lot, so he waved to Miles Kong and left, with the candy still in his mouth, leaving his good brother standing there with a confused look on his face.

After being treated like this, Miles Kong no longer had the energy to think. Originally, Martin Lin was the one who played the best among the group, and his good friends said that they seldom came. So what was the point of him coming in the future?

...

Grace Bai lay on the desk, looking out the window from time to time, waiting for Martin Lin to come back. But when she thought of the unpleasant smell again, she pouted and felt unhappy. Then she reached out and messed up the snacks in the drawer as a way to vent her emotions.

When the other person's figure appeared in his sight, he stopped, put his little head on his arms, and pretended to rest, while covering his nose tightly, as if he could pretend that he didn't smell anything.

Not only that, the little ear listened very carefully, quietly waiting for the other party to come over, and then moved inward to make room.

"Fell asleep?"

"Um."

"Then I won't let you smell it."

"Um?"

Grace Bai didn't understand what he meant, but it was not easy for her to raise her head directly. In the end, she could only move slowly from her arm position, revealing her sight and looking at Martin Lin.

"This candy is really sweet."

Martin Lin deliberately showed the candy in his mouth, trying to prove that he did not light the mosquito coil.

But when he looked at Grace Bai, he found that the little fool was frowning with disgust?

"Evil, evil..."

Grace Bai couldn't say the word "heart". She was a little afraid that Martin Lin would be angry, but when she thought of him eating candy and going to the toilet...

"Huh? Come closer and smell it."

At this moment, Martin Lin was like a devil in front of Grace Bai, but after sniffing his nose, he found that there was no disgusting smell as he had imagined.

"Really? You wronged me, so I'll punish you by making you get me lunch at noon."

Grace Bai felt very aggrieved: "You, you, bullied me again..."
