Li Chengqian leveled up his Student Class and gained access to his Experience Pool. He then spent his experience points to max out his Elementary School Knowledge skill to Perfection. This gave him an immediate boost in knowledge, making him confident he could significantly improve his college entrance exam scores. However, his rival Liu Daqiang mocked his ambition and challenged his abilities.

“Li Chengqian, I feel that you are very different today.” His deskmate, Jian Qingli, looked at Li Chengqian in surprise.

Unlike before, Li Chengqian was speaking to Liu Daqiang boldly just now.

Another point was Li Chengqian’s gaze. She realized that Li Chengqian seemed especially energetic, and his eyes were sparkling like stars.

Li Chengqian was shocked but he didn’t show it. “Really?”

“Yes!” Jian Qingli nodded affirmatively.

“Li Chengqian, are you serious about what you said to Liu Daqiang just now?” Jian Qingli asked curiously.

“Of course I am!” Li Chengqian nodded. After his Intelligence Stats reached 14 points, even if he was chatting with Jian Qingli, it wouldn’t affect his ability to memorize words at the same time.

Jian Qingli looked at Li Chengqian in surprise.

She thought that Li Chengqian was just kidding Liu Daqiang.

There were only 100 days to the college entrance examination after all. With Li Chengqian’s foundation, even if he worked hard now, the chances of him getting into university were extremely slim.

“That’s good too. Even if we can’t get in this year, we can still prepare for the repeats next year.” She was Li Chengqian’s deskmate. She knew Li Chengqian’s results the best.

She didn’t believe that Li Chengqian would be able to get into university this year.

Li Chengqian shook his head but didn’t explain.

“Forget it. The monthly exam is only a week away. When the results are out, Jian Qingli will believe me.” He knew that no matter how he explained, Jian Qingli wouldn’t believe him.

In fact, the beautiful Jian Qingli was the person he had a crush on in his previous life. It was just that Li Chengqian didn’t manage to get into university, and his parents got into a traffic accident. Li Chengqian fell into a state of depression, so he basically cut off all contact with Jian Qingli.

It was seven years after their high school graduation when he next heard news about Jian Qingli.

At Jian Qingli’s wedding, her ex-boyfriend, Bi Jialiang, publicly exposed intimate photos of the two of them together.

The wedding was then called off on the spot, and the two families were disgraced.

Jian Qingli couldn’t take the blow and the humiliation. She chose to end her young life.

“We’re classmates and neighbors. I should remind her, lest she falls into the abyss and ends up in a miserable state.” Li Chengqian glanced at Jian Qingli. She was tall, had a curvaceous figure, fair skin, and beautiful facial features. She was indeed a great beauty.

“I heard that Jian Qingliu and Bi Jialiang got together in their third year of high school.”

“The students who attended the wedding said that the video and photos were taken at the end of the college entrance examination.”

“As long as Jian Qingli heeds my advice, her future tragedy will not happen. At least her life will not end in tragedy.” Li Chengqian collected his thoughts and focused his energy on memorizing the words.

“Jian Qingli, come out for a moment!” a boy with a mischievous smile shouted from outside the classroom. He had a layered haircut, and was wearing ripped jeans with a white shirt.

“It’s Bi Jialiang!”

“I heard that Bi Jialiang has been wooing Jian Qingli recently,” a girl said sourly.

“Bi Jialiang is so handsome and his grades are so good. He’s my idol, but he only has his eyes on Jian Qingli,” another girl said enviously.

Not only was Bi Jialiang very good looking, his results were also top-notch. He came in the top 20 of Tianyi High School for every mock exam.

If nothing unexpected happens, he would definitely be able to enter a good university. If he was lucky, he might even be able to enter a top school.

Li Chengqian scored 280 marks in the mock exam, while Bi Jialiang scored 650 marks!

Amidst everyone’s hushed discussions, Jian Qing’s beautiful face flushed red, and there was a hint of shyness in her eyes.

“Jian Qingliu, you have to watch out for Bi Jialiang. He’s not a good person.” At this moment, Li Chengqian thought of Jian Qingli’s fate in her previous life. In his frenzy, he reminded her without thinking.

He regretted it the moment the words came out.

As all the bad things would only happen in the future, he had no basis for warning her.

He might be misunderstood by Jian Qingli.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Chengqian’s words, Jian Qingli’s face immediately turned ice-cold. “Li Chengqian, in the past, I always felt that you were an honest person. I was wrong. I now know that you would actually maliciously badmouth others behind their backs.”

In his previous life, Li Chengqian had even gone to Jian Qingli’s grave to pay his respects.

However, it was impossible for him to tell anyone about his rebirth. Even if he did, no one would believe him.

“Li Chengqian, you need to be able to substantiate everything. If you say Bi Jialiang isn’t a good person, then show me the evidence.” Jian Qingli stared into Li Chengqian’s eyes.

Li Chengqian found himself unable to furnish an answer to Jian Qingli's query. After all, such a matter pertained to the future, and he possessed no tangible proof to offer.

"Li Chengqian, you've left me utterly disappointed." Jian Qingli's tone turned ice-cold, reminiscent of their very first encounter.

With that declaration, Jian Qingli exited the classroom, her expression stern. She joined Bi Jialiang by the railing, and soon, their shared laughter filled the air.

"Who would have guessed that this scoundrel, Bi Jialiang, despite his good looks, is actually a pervert..." If Li Chengqian had not been reborn, he would never have fathomed that this individual with prominent eyebrows and large eyes harbored such wicked intentions.

Bi Jialiang maintained a remarkably strong facade, both in appearance and academic performance.

Yet, he had gone so far as to expose intimate photographs of the bride with another man during her wedding, in front of all the assembled relatives and friends. How utterly perverse!

Still, this was precisely the act committed by the handsome and seemingly kind-hearted Bi Jialiang!

Having just been reborn, Li Chengqian felt an overwhelming sense of Jian Qingli's tragic fate in his previous life. He was determined not to witness her endure a similar dismal existence in this current one.

In his haste, his words to caution Jian Qingli had been spoken without forethought.

However, Jian Qingli had shown him no belief whatsoever, leading her to misunderstand and harbor dislike towards him.

"Never mind. When the opportunity arises in the future, I'll remind her once more: even if you're being intimate, avoid photographs. This way, she can sidestep the calamity of her past life." Yet, Li Chengqian mused that he might indeed be perceived as a pervert for advising a girl against taking intimate photos with her boyfriend!

Barring absolute necessity, he resolved never to utter such words.

"It's better to immerse myself in my studies and focus on altering my own destiny first." Li Chengqian shook his head, turning his attention back to his book, silently committing its contents to memory.

...

[You have studied for 9 minutes. You have earned 9 Experience Bars. Remaining Experience Bars in the Pool: 43.]

The ringing of the bell signaled the arrival of Teacher Wang Jianjia, who commenced the lesson.

Li Chengqian placed his textbook aside and lent his full attention to the lecture.

He then discovered that he could comprehend the majority of the English content, which had formerly sounded like an indecipherable foreign tongue. He also found himself effortlessly solving the grammar exercises.

He identified his primary obstacle as a deficiency in vocabulary.

Once his vocabulary was sufficiently enhanced, English no longer presented a daunting challenge.

While a perfect score was not guaranteed, passing the examination was certainly within reach.

Consequently, throughout the entire lesson, a smile graced Li Chengqian's face. He could distinctly feel the progress and transformation occurring within him, proclaiming, "I, Li Chengqian, will undoubtedly rewrite my fate!"

When the midday bell sounded, Teacher Wang Jianjia cast a thoughtful glance towards Li Chengqian. During this class, she had clearly sensed his earnestness and diligent effort.

However, Li Chengqian's foundational knowledge was exceedingly weak. "If only Li Chengqian had commenced his dedicated studies at the very beginning of his third year of high school; perhaps then, he might have stood a chance at university admission."

"It is far too late now!"

...

"Should he manage to sustain such a focused approach to learning, he might conceivably gain admission to university next year." Wang Jianjia mused silently before departing the classroom.

As for Jian Qingli, she completely disregarded Li Chengqian, not even deigning to look his way during the entire class period.
