Back To the Past To Fall In Love

Chapter 15: Birthday Wishes

When Xu Ziran saw Tian Jiaqi whose nose was frozen red, she was shocked and said, “It’s so cold outside, why are you waiting outside.”

Tian Jiaqi saw her coming, her eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, “How is it?”

Seeing her first reaction was to ask this, Xu Ziran knew that it would be impossible not to give her an answer, and said with a smile, “If there is anything, can I come back.”

Tian Jiaqi breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed: “I knew it was all right, it was Meng Shitao’s crow’s mouth.”

Xu Ziran shook his head and said with a smile, “I’m sorry for Meng Shitao when I say this.”

She looked at Tian Jiaqi and asked again, “Did you tell my parents about this?”

Tian Jiaqi shook her head: “I was afraid that my uncle and aunt would be worried, so I didn’t say it, saying that you were detained.”

Hearing this excuse, Xu Ziran’s eyes twitched, and he suddenly felt that he would be greeted by an endless nagging at night.

But when I saw the sumptuous dinner and birthday cake on the table, I was glad that Tian Jiaqi was such a person who was good at adapting to changes.

She couldn’t imagine how her parents, who were excitedly preparing her birthday dinner, would feel when they heard that she was sent to the hospital as a suspected case.

Although she has known for many years that the relationship between her and her parents may be broken to freezing point, but in any case she knows that among the people in this world who love her unreservedly, there must be her parents.

Before dinner, Xu Ziran was taught by Xu’s mother for a long time because she was detained in the room. In the end, Xu’s father couldn’t stand it anymore, saying that today was a good birthday, why did he make it so unpleasant. After listening to this, Xu’s mother finally stopped nagging.

Tian Jiaqi was left at Xu’s house for dinner that day. After eating, she took out the birthday cake and put it on the table. The three surrounded Xu Ziran and asked her to make a wish.

In the room after the lights were turned off, there was only the faint yellow light of the candles. In the swaying light of the fire, Xu Ziran saw her parents who were not yet old, and Tian Jiaqi who was still young.

At this moment, Xu Ziran suddenly remembered that at the class reunion the day before the rebirth.

In the bar, the lights flickered dimly, like candlelight, and someone raised such a topic—

Do you want to go back to your high school days?

Everyone expressed their opinions.

“I think, I dream of it, if this is really going back, I must study hard.”

“What are you studying? It must be buying a house! I have to buy at least five suites!”

“Is there any pursuit? If I go back, I can’t do what I want to do. Now go back to memorizing the lottery winning numbers and become a multi-millionaire overnight.”

…

Everyone talked a lot, most of them wanted to go back, but only two people didn’t want to.

One is Qiu Yurou and the other is Xu Ziran.

Xu Ziran said, “How can you think so beautifully? I shivered just thinking about getting up at 6:30.”

As soon as she said this, no one refuted it.

Everyone nodded and said yes, and said bluntly, “Mr. Xu still thinks thoroughly.”

Xu Ziran felt that it was boring. These people used to be her classmates, and they were on an equal footing, but now they came to curry favor with her because she was more successful, which made her somewhat disappointed.

But this is somewhat hypocritical, because if she thinks about it carefully, if they don’t flatter her, she will probably feel that they are unreasonable, blind and arrogant.

People are probably like this, hypocritical and contradictory, and never satisfied.

Everyone asked another Qiu Yurou, who said he didn’t want to go back, why.

Qiu Yurou sat on the edge of the bar with her legs crossed, and there was a lightness in her expression that didn’t look down on everything.

“It doesn’t matter, it’s fine now,” she said.

“Then do you have nothing to regret?” Someone asked.

“Of course there are regrets, but what should be considered is whether it can be realized in the future, rather than returning to the illusory dream of the past.”

At that time, Xu Ziran sighed secretly that Qiu Yurou was sensible, but not human.

Everyone is imagining this kind of thing here. Naturally, it is not that they can really go back, but it is just a way to recall the past.

When she said this, she was so rational that it was a bit mean.

But now, Xu Ziran really came back.

Standing here, still looking at this familiar and unfamiliar scene with a little daze, celebrating her fifteenth birthday.

Life is so long, do you really have no regrets?

For many years in the past, Xu Ziran, whether burning incense to worship Buddha or making birthday wishes, didn’t know what she wanted. She felt that relying on her own efforts to live a smooth enough life, and those things that bothered her, it seems that God and Buddha can’t do it. So I can only say something like “I hope the people I care about and the people I care about are happy” or “world peace”.

At this moment, looking at her parents and Tian Jiaqi’s eager eyes, she suddenly thought: I hope all those things in the future will not happen.

She hopes that in the next ten years, she will be able to communicate better with her parents and Tian Jiaqi, so that all possible unhappiness will be stifled in the cradle.

She closed her eyes in anticipation, and was about to blow out the candle, she thought about it and added in her heart: I hope I can get high marks in the next exam.

Thinking of this, I thought of Qiu Yurou who said she wanted to help her with tutoring, and made a wish: I hope Qiu Yurou will be happy too.

After thinking about this, Xu Ziran felt that it would only be endless if it went on like this, and hurriedly blew out the candle.

…

Tian Jiaqi had dinner at her house and shared a cake to take home, while Xu Ziran raised her hand and rushed to wash the dishes.

When washing dishes, she originally wanted to persuade her parents to buy a house or a shop, so she asked her family’s current savings.

Although Mother Xu wondered why Xu Ziran asked this, she still did the calculations for her piecemeal. The final result made Xu Ziran not very optimistic, and it was only 100,000.

But when she compared the prices and house prices, she knew that 100,000 yuan was worth more than ten years later, but it was still not much.

If his parents were to use the money to buy a house or shop, Xu Ziran felt that he did not have the confidence to convince them.

After weighing it in his heart, Xu Ziran finally gave up.

The current life is actually good, there is no need to be too eager for quick success, the bull market of stocks is still a year away, and Xu Ziran has enough time to earn her first pot of gold.

Xu Ziran is a successful person, so she has no sense of urgency to succeed again. Now she hopes to succeed in other aspects more – for example, a better school for the college entrance examination?

If it is said that adults have something better than minors, self-control is absolutely the same, not to mention that in the flamboyant world of later generations, most of the entertainment activities in front of them can’t attract Xu Ziran’s attention at all. The behavior of parents not watching TV secretly.

Therefore, after having the determination to study hard, Xu Ziran went back to the room and began to brush the questions. At night, he opened the system panel and looked at it, and suddenly found a different place.

The button called the library is actually not gray anymore.

Xu Ziran looked at the differences in all her grades, and found that the biggest difference was that her intelligence value had changed from 650/105 to 650/150—this was the reason why she did a lot of questions today.

Xu Ziran has always been puzzled about intelligence.

Because looking at the other levels up and down, it is obvious that the left side of the slash is the existing value that can be restored, and the right side of the slash is the total value that has passed through fixed growth. As a result, her current value is actually higher than the total value. A strange overflow phenomenon.

Of course, Xu Ziran has some guesses about this matter. She doesn’t think that this intelligence value really increases her IQ, but it is more like the total amount of knowledge she has acquired, so her current value is higher than the total value. It’s understandable, probably because of the mismatch between body and soul.

This intelligence value is not called intelligence value, it is better to call it soul power or the like, which may be more vivid.

Xu Ziran was reborn, and one of the most mysterious things was this system.

Now, this mysterious thing has lifted the veil again, Xu Ziran was overjoyed, and hurriedly clicked in.
