Why are you avoiding me?

Ji Siyuan suddenly spoke.

"Ah—no!"

Chi Chan was stunned for a moment, then quickly retorted that she still hadn't figured out how to deal with Ji Siyuan, who had changed so rapidly.

Which university do you want to apply to?

There was no future between her and Ji Siyuan, and Chi Chan didn't want to hide it from Ji Siyuan.

"Nanxing University Clinical Medicine 8-year program".

That is, a combined bachelor's, master's, and doctoral program.

Nanxing University is the best university in Xingcheng and even in their province. Its clinical medicine program ranks among the top in the country, and its admission scores for the 8-year program are almost on par with those of Tsinghua University.

Chi Chan doesn't want to be too far from home. If nothing unexpected happens, she will work and settle down in Xingcheng after graduation.

Although her three years of high school in Xingcheng in her previous life did not leave her with any pleasant memories.

But in this lifetime, her family and friends are here, and she has so many wonderful memories from those three years.

Moreover, Changsha has developed very rapidly in recent years, with excellent development levels in the economy, education, and healthcare. It was later designated as a new first-tier city.

For Chi Chan, who comes from a rural background, it would be enough if he could settle down in such a place, have a stable job, and a good standard of living.

Chi Chan's reason for choosing clinical medicine was very practical: high income, high social status, stable job, and she could accept even if it was tiring.

After all, no matter how tiring it is, it can't compare to the previous life.

After Chi Chan finished stating the university she wanted to apply to, Ji Siyuan's face suddenly darkened.

"So you had already set your goals, and the previous trial period was just an excuse."

Ji Siyuan's tone was very certain, and his voice was filled with barely suppressed anger.

For the first time, he treated someone so seriously, carefully trying to please them, and even agreeing to many unreasonable requests.

He only realized now that Chi Chan had been lying to him all along.

"Why?"

"We're not a good match."

Chi Chan still holds the same view.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the residential area. Inside the dark car, both men had icy expressions, and neither of them intended to get out.

In the end, the driver forced the two people, who were essentially air-conditioned, off the bus.

"I want to hear your real reasons, not these flimsy excuses."

Ji Siyuan stared intently at Chi Chan, as if trying to see through Chi Chan's eyes and into her heart.

Under Ji Siyuan's sincere yet slightly pained gaze, Chi Chan's heart suddenly ached for a moment.

She looked away, her eyes fixed on the darkness in the distance.

"That's the real reason."

Chi Chan remained steadfast, refusing to utter another word.

"Okay. I won't come again. Sorry for bothering you."

Ji Siyuan left without looking back.

His usually upright and dignified figure now seemed to carry an air of loneliness and sadness for some reason.

Chi Chan stood there, watching Ji Siyuan flag down a car, get in, and drive away until he disappeared into the night.

This was clearly the best ending for the two of them, but for some reason, Chi Chan felt a little empty inside.

Dejected, Chi Chan returned home and, after washing up, lay on the bed like a walking corpse.

His eyes were filled with confusion.

I don't know what to do.

I reached out and touched the side of my pillow, and found a notebook of my mistakes.

This notebook is specifically for memorizing the mistakes Ji Siyuan made in the practice problems he gave her.

Chi Chan would look through it every night before going to bed.

Now that the college entrance exam is over, she and Ji Siyuan have fallen out and can no longer even be friends.

Chi Chan casually tossed her notebook of incorrect answers onto the desk, but she didn't aim properly, and the notebook fell to the ground, knocking over many other things on the desk as well.

Chi Chan moved to the ground and picked up the things that had fallen to the ground.

It is a small, portable notebook, about the size of a palm.

The top was covered with densely packed biological terms.

These are the notes she took during the time Ji Siyuan tutored her.

...

Chi Chan picked up all these things at once and hid them on the highest shelf of the bookshelf, out of sight, out of mind.

Finally, he lay back down on the bed, completely still.

After clearing the space around the headboard, the 2-meter-wide bed suddenly looked even larger.

Chi Chan was at a loss again.

I opened my eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling.

For Chi Chan, who was always busy in her previous life, such free time was a delusion.

After being reborn, Chi Chan was either busy studying or working on her video account.

Now that the college entrance exam is over, the video account hasn't started a new round of recording yet, and Qiao Mama doesn't post videos every day.

This is arguably the most leisurely time Chi Chan has experienced since her rebirth.

But I was so lost that I didn't know what to do, and I felt completely uninterested in all forms of entertainment.

————

Chi Chan later told Chi Ming and his wife about her plan to apply to the medical school of Nanxing University.

Although the couple felt it was a pity that Chi Chan didn't apply to Tsinghua University with her score.

But then I thought about how Nanxing University is also a very good university, and it has a good major like medicine, plus the school is close to home.

Considering all these advantages, all the resentment vanished in the end.

On this day, Chi Chan was passing the time reading leisurely books in the bookstore when a phone suddenly rang.

Chi Chan took out her phone and saw that it was Lao Qiu.

They're probably concerned about students filling out their college applications, since today is the last day to submit applications online.

Last year, a student from the No. 1 High School in the city was so careless that he missed the deadline for filling out his college application, thus missing the entire year of college entrance examination.

This matter has attracted great attention at the No. 1 High School in the city. Therefore, starting this year, the school requires homeroom teachers to contact each student to ensure that all students have filled out their college applications.

Without much thought, Chi Chan answered Lao Qiu's call.

In early September, another year of new students enrolled.

Activities to welcome new students at various universities began at the train station.

Chi Chan and Shu Jia dragged their suitcases, avoiding the surging crowds, and waited in a long queue before finally hailing a taxi.

"Why not take the welcome bus for the new students? It would be so much more convenient. We'll have to carry our own luggage later!"

Chi Chan huffed and puffed as she loaded the two of their luggage into the car, then began to complain to Shu Jia.

"Oh dear—I just wanted to visit your school, but do you think your school bus would allow an outsider like me to get on?"

"Why not? Didn't you see the huge crowd at the station? A lot of them are parents taking their children to university for registration. They're all heading for the welcome bus."

"ah?!!!"

Shu Jia was on the verge of tears: "Why didn't you say so earlier when I hailed a taxi?"

Chi Chan laughed: "We have to wait for the welcome car, but we don't have to wait for the taxi!"

The welcome bus usually waits until one bus is full before it departs, and Chi Chan didn't want to waste that time.

Shu Jia finally felt a little better.

"I wonder if Ji Siyuan, Da Ge, and that fat bastard Zhuo Zhiyuan have arrived yet."
