You are my student
Pain mixed with love.
The proverbs she had heard before replayed in her mind one by one.
Xi Zhou felt like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like only a short time had passed. She had simply faced a cold teacher and a bunch of false illusions. And through each illusion, constructed were her past memories, the pain she had endured, and the soothing warmth of the gentle breeze.
These illusions were like a ruler, hitting her body again and again, forcing her to search.
She felt overwhelmed, but gradually adapted and even felt familiar.
The source of all stories finally took shape in my mind.
.
"Why hasn't Xi Zhou come back in so long?" Yan Ning fidgeted, peeking out the window. "The teacher looked a little off just now. Did he get scolded?"
She thought that Xi Zhou was a student who was afraid of teachers, and she couldn't help but blame herself. "I don't know what Xi Zhou and the teacher were talking about. Oh, if only I had run out to find the teacher just now."
"No, if only I hadn't let everyone get together to play in the first place..."
"Don't think too much." Lu Lanting advised.
"Yeah, think positively. What if we get beaten?" Xu Sui'an joked, "After all, we've entered a forbidden area. It's normal to be picked out and beaten up one by one."
Yan Ning glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
I wanted to scold him, but when I thought about the fact that Xu Suian was also feeling bad about this matter and even had a stress reaction, I couldn't say anything. I could only flip through the textbook angrily.
After a while, Xi Zhou came back.
Her eyes were swollen and red from crying, and her voice was hoarse. You could tell she was not feeling well by looking at her pitiful face.
But... there's also a strange attraction.
Eight pairs of eyes fell on her, on those golden eyes.
It’s so similar, so similar to the element of light.
Jingyu knocked on the door frame, attracting everyone's attention. "Yan Ning, come out with me."
Having seen Xi Zhou's pitiful appearance, everyone couldn't help but light a candle for Yan Ning.
As soon as Jingyu took Yan Ning away, everyone surrounded Xizhou and started talking to him.
"What did you do just now?"
"Did the teacher criticize you?"
Lu Lanting rarely showed his mysophobia and took Xi Zhou's hand, "The teacher didn't hit you, did he?"
In the illusion just now, Xi Zhou's memories that originally belonged to Guangming came flooding back like a tide.
She didn't know if she had ever processed these memories before, but she still felt a little unfamiliar with them, or perhaps her perception of herself was still that of hope, not light.
She was still digesting these memories, but when she looked at Lu Lanting, she couldn't help but tear up again.
After a long while, he finally managed to answer, "The teacher told me to keep the secret of what just happened."
"Why are you crying like this?"
Lu Lanting frowned and wiped her face with a tissue.
"I remember, remembering the days when it was bright."
She spoke in detail, as if she was talking about someone else's story.
"The meeting of the ten of us is not a coincidence."
"Once upon a time, in the turbulence of time and space, Guangming saved two children, raised them, and accompanied them. He wasn't a relative, but he was better than family.
However, Guangming died trying to save Xinghe, and was unable to see his two children grow up, which was a pity."
"The reincarnations of those two people are named Yan Ning and Lu Lanting."
"Thousands of years ago, Luo Zhaoyu resurrected the light. Hundreds of years ago, the living beings predicted a fateful encounter. So the six elements decided to keep the appointment."
Xi Zhou said this and hugged Lu Lanting. Although this memory was very unfamiliar and did not change his personality and psychology at all, he still felt pain from time to time.
She seemed to become bright again in an instant. She remembered the child's desperate plea that year and whispered, "I will fulfill my promise."
Lu Lanting was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly.
Everyone was surprised, but upon reflection, it seemed unnecessary. After all, wasn't that the same story in the novels they'd read? A seemingly ordinary protagonist, after leveling up and defeating monsters, often discovered they had a hidden identity.
"Those six elements plus Yan Ning and Lu Lanting make eight. Where are the other two?" Yin Zian couldn't help but ask.
"Of the remaining two, one is you, a disciple of the Free Element and a former close friend of Luo Zhaoyu. The other is Heshun, also a former friend of Luo Zhaoyu."
Xi Zhou smiled at her.
Yin Zian thought of His Highness Luo Zhaoyu's elegance, dignity, strength, and wisdom, and couldn't help but feel a yearning in his heart. He chuckled twice, "I never thought that His Highness Luo Zhaoyu and I were close friends in my past life. Isn't that too cool?!"
"Where is Fu Linyuan?" Yin Zian asked again.
"Fu Linyuan is the reincarnation of an energy element." Xi Zhou thought carefully, "From my impression, his fate with us does seem a little shallow. Maybe that's why."
"...But despite this, I only know Fu Linyuan, not the energy element. So he will never appear again." Lu Lanting sighed and said, "If it weren't for this accident, maybe he wouldn't die..."
At this point, the atmosphere inevitably became depressed for a while.
After a long conversation, Yan Ning came back and Lu Lanting left.
Yan Ning returned looking much more energetic than Xi Zhou. He stood on the podium and excitedly announced, "Everyone, Teacher Jingyu has a passive skill: he can read minds!"
The 7 students sitting next to me: ???
As expected, the gossip that was closer to them was more shocking, and everyone immediately started discussing it.
Xu Sui'an: "How is that possible? If he could hear it, how could he greet Fu Linyuan with a smile?"
Xi Zhou sighed that finally someone else had discovered it. It was really tiring to keep this secret in one's heart.
He nodded repeatedly and said, "Really, the teacher often complains to me about his wild inner thoughts."
Yan Ning suddenly understood and pointed at Xi Zhou, criticizing him. "Okay, Xi Zhou, you actually knew this all along and kept it a secret from us!"
She was a little embarrassed, "The teacher asked me to keep it a secret."
Yan Ning was about to say something when Yin Zian stopped him. "It doesn't matter whether it's mind reading or not. You know what? You missed a big news story!"
"What?"
"You were Xi Zhou's adopted child in your previous life."
Yan Ning: “?”
Yan Ning thought this was probably a story some people had made up when she was not around, so she said, "Thank you for the invitation. I don't want to be of the same generation as Xi Zhou at the moment."
It seems that Yan Ning did not remember any memories of his previous life.
Xi Zhou thought, that’s great, from now on this will be her exclusive black history of her past life.
Thinking about it more carefully, she seemed to remember the dark history of the whole class, which was even better.
Afterwards, everyone followed Jingyu for a walk, but except for Lu Lanting, no one else still got any memories of their previous life.
This is normal. If we can easily recall our past lives, then why is the existence of past lives a controversial issue that has never been resolved in the Milky Way?
Xi Zhou probably took the crisis as an opportunity when he met the shadow of his previous life and the words left behind.
As for Lu Lanting, perhaps it has something to do with the deep expectations of the past.
Lu Lanting is always as pure as a blank sheet of paper, but he is focused, persistent, and even stubborn when dealing with things.
Just like the day he found out Yan Ning liked to read BL novels, he opened his innocent eyes and pointed at all the terms she didn't understand and asked her earnestly, "What does BL mean? What does 'male mother' mean? Does it mean taking care of others like a mother takes care of her children?"
The question left the person speechless, but for some reason she said thank you in a very serious tone.
...Perhaps it was this kind of energy that allowed her to dig out the memories hidden deep in her soul.
But compared to this, Xi Zhou was concerned about something else.
When the teacher brought the last student back, the get out of class was not over yet.
Jingyu was originally planning to leave the get out of class early, but when he waved his hand, Xizhou called him back, and the teacher and student went out to talk.
"Teacher." Xi Zhou pinched the corner of his clothes nervously, "I have something to ask."
"Oh, Xi Zhou took the initiative to find the teacher, the sun rises from the west? I am truly honored."
The teacher smiled and teased, "What's the matter? If you are worried that your spiritual skills are not keeping up, I will find time to give you a lot of special lessons later."
Xi Zhou: Haha.
It’s difficult. For students, making up lessons is really difficult.
"No, it's not."
Xi Zhou shook his head and mustered up the courage to say, "I want to ask, you... and His Highness, the principal and so on, they, we... that, that in the previous life..."
Xi Zhou was somewhat overly nervous, or perhaps he found it difficult to speak, and he kept repeating the same few words over and over again, unable to make himself clear.
However, Jingyu understood it smoothly with the help of mind reading, and he gave a positive response.
"Your affairs are not secrets. I'm sorry for hiding it from you."
Perhaps feeling that this was too serious, the teacher coughed twice and then smiled and said, "Or maybe I should call you, Adult?"
But unexpectedly, the joke that was originally intended to lighten the atmosphere seemed to have the opposite effect.
Jingyu knew that Xizhou was delicate and sensitive, but now that he had regained his memories of his past life, the teacher thought that this might change, but he was wrong.
Xi Zhou didn't join in the joke, or pretend to be arrogant. Instead, he said, "Teacher, maybe I was light before I was born, and I will return to light after I die. But I always feel that I should always be Xi Zhou now."
As she spoke, she lowered her head a little embarrassedly, her hands intertwined. "Maybe it's a little childish of me to say this... Anyway, I just want to ask, Teacher, you have always been very kind to us and cared about us."
"You care about us so much and chose me as your class representative. Is it because of my past life?"
Although he could hear his mental activities, Xi Zhou was actually just repeating the few sentences he was about to say in his mind, and they were even quite messy.
Hearing her struggling with this question, Jingyu was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and touched her head, his eyes gentle and loving.
"Xi Zhou, look up into my eyes. Do you think I'm looking at my student, or at the respected Element of Light?"
