Rebirth of the Genius Charlatan

n she saw that flushed face, she was slightly astonished.

Du Ping hurriedly yelled: “I, I was thinking that ShaoZi and Pang Dun will take the midterm exams next year, and when they get into East City First Highschool, we will be in our senior year.
We can still take care of them for at least another year.
You… what nonsense are you spurting about!”

Liu CuiCui and Du Ping both did well in their exams, and although it was a bit of a close call, they still got into the number one Highschool in East City.
They were two years older than Xia Shao and Pang Dun, who was now studying in the same class at the middle school affiliate of the East City number one Highschool.
Moreover, they would be in their third year after this summer holidays while Liu CuiCui and Du Ping were in their second year of Highschool.

Seeing Du Ping’s anxious look, Liu CuiCui obviously didn’t believe him and stared at him suspiciously while raising her eyebrows and confirming again: “Really?”

“Of course it’s true! The bus is here, hurry up and let’s get on.” Seeing a bus driving over not far away, Du Ping waved at it.
Xia Shao watched Du Ping’s back view and just smiled lightly.
Seventeen was the age when love was in its infancy, she had come from that age and could understand Du Ping’s thoughts at just a glance.
However, how did this Du ping have his heart set on her? Auntie Xia Shao was very puzzled.

The bus stopped at the side of the highway and Liu CuiCui pulled Xia Shao into the bus.
Seeing that Pang Dun was still walking over, she rushed: “Pang Du, hurry up.”

When they got onto the bus, Xia Shao and Liu CuiCui sat together while Du Ping and Pang Dun sat together.
The four of them occupied two rows of seats in the same line.
As soon as Pang Dun sat down, he started complaining: “Sister CuiCui, don’t keep calling me Pang Dun, I have a name, Zhou MingXu! At least I go to the affiliation middle school of East City First Highschool, so if you kept calling me Pang Dun, my classmates will laugh at me if they overheard it.”

“Yo, you’re caring about your reputation now?” Liu CuiCui turned around, smiling and staring surprisingly at Pang Dun before pinching his cheek, causing him to grumble again.

Xia Shao chuckled softly, listening to the bickering of her friends, she couldn’t help but the corner of her lips raised slightly as she stared into the moving scenery through the bus window.

In her previous life, Liu CuiCui failed her college entrance exams and her family didn’t let her repeat her studies to pay for her brother’s education.
After which, she found a job as a shop assistant in a shopping mall and got married at a very young age.

Although Du Ping got into university, the school was not ideal, so he gave up studying and joined the army instead.
When he returned from demobilisation, his family got him a job in a ceramic company in the city.

Meanwhile Pang Dun, on the other hand, was affected by his family because of what happened to Professor Zhou.
He was not well and was always ill, so he dropped out of school to recuperate at home and went to work in the city when he had gotten better.

Whether these childhood friends would follow the same fate in this life, Xia Shao had no idea.
As for Pang Dun’s fate, it was already changed when she alternated Professor Zhou’s fate.
At least in her previous life, she didn’t remember that Pang Dun had gone to the city’s First Highschool and was in the same class with her.

Xia Shao leaned back in her seat and smiled faintly, weren’t these all nice? Life could restart again, and she hoped that her friends could live better than they had in their previous life too.

It was only a ten-mile journey from the village to the city, so it was a convenient ten-minute bus ride.
When they arrived in town, the four of them changed buses and headed to the antique market.
