Chapter 9

Li Qian originally came to remind Jiang Ping to be careful of her angry father, but she didn't expect Jiang Ping to still be able to laugh. The young girl naturally wasn't pleased and stomped her foot in a pout, saying, "I'm being serious with you, and you're still laughing!"

Jiang Ping winked at Li Qian, "Don't worry, everything's fine now! I ran into Mr. Li downstairs and already asked for leave!"

Li Qian still asked somewhat worriedly, "Asked for leave? What reason did you give for asking for leave?"

"I had a car accident yesterday," Jiang Ping whispered. "The doctor told me to rest for a day and even gave me a sick leave note."

Although Jiang Ping was standing there perfectly fine, Li Qian couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Car accident! Are you okay? Are you hurt?!"

As she asked, Li Qian looked at Jiang Ping with concern. If it weren't for her shyness, she might have already checked him herself.

Seeing Li Qian so concerned, Jiang Ping felt both moved and touched by her kindness. In his previous life, Jiang Ping was a playboy, and when facing this girl who clearly had a good impression of him, he couldn't help but revert to his old ways, smiling and saying, "You look so worried. Are you worried about me?"

Jiang Ping's words immediately made Li Qian's face flush red. The girl quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and said softly, "I... I'm not worried at all. I just wanted to ask why you didn't come yesterday. I'm the class monitor, it's my duty!"

"Ah, so you're not worried about me at all," Jiang Ping changed to a sad expression and sighed, "That really hurts my heart!"

Li Qian was just a high school girl and was no match for Jiang Ping in this aspect. After just a couple of teasing words from Jiang Ping, the innocent girl couldn't take it anymore. She gave Jiang Ping a pout and pretended to be angry, saying, "You're so bad, I won't talk to you anymore!"

After saying this, the girl flicked her ponytail and ran away. However, after running a few steps, she turned around and glared at Jiang Ping. Although she tried to look fierce, the smile at the corner of her mouth couldn't be hidden. Even Li Qian herself felt that this was a bit of a cover-up, and she blushed and ran away.

Jiang Ping, with his experience from his previous life, could clearly see that the girl wasn't angry at all but was actually happy that he was joking with her. Watching Li Qian's slender back, Jiang Ping couldn't help but smile, feeling even more excited about his reborn life.

Jiang Ping was immersed in the joy of reuniting with Li Qian and didn't notice that at the corner of the stairs, a pair of jealous eyes had been watching the whole scene.

The owner of these eyes was named Zhou Xiang, who was in the same class as Jiang Ping and Li Qian. Unlike Jiang Ping, whose grades were average, Zhou Xiang was always one of the top students in the class and even in the entire grade, always ranking in the top ten, on par with Li Qian.

Not only did Zhou Xiang have good grades, but his family background was also excellent. His parents were both government employees, and his father was a mid-level official. Zhou Xiang himself was also fair-skinned and handsome, with a scholarly air, so many female classmates had a good impression of him.

However, Zhou Xiang was also a person with high standards and didn't pay much attention to other female classmates, only liking Li Qian, who was also a top student and very beautiful. Unfortunately, Li Qian always kept her distance from Zhou Xiang, maintaining a normal classmate relationship. No matter what method Zhou Xiang used to approach Li Qian, he always met with rejection.

As the college entrance exam drew near, Zhou Xiang lost hope in pursuing Li Qian and began to focus on his studies. He thought that as long as he got into college, with his conditions, what kind of girl couldn't he get? Why should he be infatuated with one flower?

However, seeing Li Qian and Jiang Ping being so intimate at the corner of the stairs made Zhou Xiang feel unbalanced. He watched Jiang Ping walk away, his face dark with resentment, muttering, "What are you, to be worthy of Li Qian? If she likes anyone, it can only be me!"

Jiang Ping didn't know that on the second day of his rebirth, he had already been targeted by a classmate. When he came to the classroom, he sat down at his usual seat and noticed that Li Qian was secretly looking at him.

So Jiang Ping gave Li Qian a smile, which made the girl quickly turn her head away. This scene was seen by Zhou Xiang, who had just entered the classroom, making him even more resentful of Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping was organizing his desk when he was suddenly slapped on the shoulder. He then heard his friend Zhang Jun's voice, "Dude, why didn't you come to school yesterday? Mr. Li was so angry, he scolded the whole class for half an hour after school, saying that everyone must absolutely not follow your example, or they would be sorry to heaven and earth, and to their parents!"

Hearing Zhang Jun's familiar tone, Jiang Ping couldn't help but laugh. Zhang Jun was his best friend in high school, and the term "buddy" was not an exaggeration. Although this guy seemed to be a bit of a joker, Jiang Ping could hear the deep friendship in his words, which warmed his heart, especially after being betrayed by his partner in his previous life.

However, before Jiang Ping could respond, Zhou Xiang, who had long been resentful of him, coldly said, "In my opinion, Mr. Li is making a big fuss over nothing. With only a month left until the college entrance exam, with Jiang Ping's level, no matter how hard he tries, he can only get into a second-tier university. So whether he comes to the review classes or not doesn't matter. He's just being realistic!"

As soon as Zhou Xiang finished speaking, the previously bustling classroom suddenly fell silent. All the students' eyes were on Jiang Ping and Zhou Xiang, and an uneasy atmosphere spread through the classroom. Everyone could see that Zhou Xiang was deliberately targeting Jiang Ping, and for a high school boy, such a provocation was hard to tolerate, and a conflict was not out of the question.

If it were in his previous life, Jiang Ping would definitely have fought back against Zhou Xiang. However, now he was a high school student with the soul of an adult, and he just smiled at Zhou Xiang's provocation, not taking such a trivial matter to heart.

However, not everyone felt the same way. For example, Li Qian was very dissatisfied with Zhou Xiang's deliberate targeting of Jiang Ping and immediately stood up, saying coldly, "Jiang Ping didn't come yesterday because he asked for sick leave, and Mr. Li already knows about it. Zhou Xiang, since you don't know the situation, please don't speak recklessly, to avoid affecting the unity among classmates!"

Although Li Qian was usually very gentle with Jiang Ping and didn't get angry even when he teased her, when she warned Zhou Xiang with a frown, she had a real air of authority as a class officer.

While warning Zhou Xiang, Li Qian was also worried that Jiang Ping might be upset, so she secretly glanced at him. Seeing that Jiang Ping was calm and even winked at her, the girl's heart was put at ease.

Zhou Xiang, who was already in the wrong, was further weakened by Li Qian's warning, who was very popular in the class. He didn't dare to risk angering everyone by opposing Li Qian and had to keep quiet. However, although he appeared to have backed down, he actually hated Jiang Ping even more. With a dark expression, Zhou Xiang clenched his fists and resolved to give Jiang Ping a lesson he would never forget before the college entrance exam.

Jiang Ping didn't take the matter to heart and soon lost himself in thought, considering his next steps. For Jiang Ping, the most urgent task now was to earn enough money for his sister's medical expenses. However, for an 18-year-old, earning 300,000 yuan in half a year was no easy task.

Although Jiang Ping had been reborn, he still knew nothing about winning lottery numbers or stock market charts, so relying on these to make money was almost impossible.

If it were in his previous life, Jiang Ping could have easily earned 300,000 yuan by visiting a certain museum. However, now he was a high school student, and even if he could obtain valuable antiques from others, he wouldn't dare to sell them. Selling stolen goods required channels, and if not done properly, he might not only lose the goods but also his life.

However, his previous experience wasn't entirely useless. At least now he could use his cultivated eye and experience to find profitable antiques and artworks in the market and resell them for a profit. Although this method of earning money was slower, it was safer. If he got lucky and found a good deal, he might be able to earn the money for his sister's medical expenses.

With this in mind, Jiang Ping decided to go to the antique street in the old city district on the weekend to try his luck. He believed that with his eye, finding a few genuine items and reselling them for a profit should not be a problem.

After determining his next steps, Jiang Ping's thoughts returned to the strange phenomenon he saw before the car accident. Although Jiang Ping believed he had the ability to see through others' fortunes, it was still just a guess, and he couldn't yet confirm it.

So Jiang Ping decided to try it on the English teacher who was currently teaching. He focused his mind and stared intently at the English teacher at the front of the class, hoping to see the light on the teacher's forehead again.

However, the reality disappointed Jiang Ping. No matter how hard he tried, he saw nothing. Instead, his eyes became sore and uncomfortable, making him realize that his ability wasn't something he could use at will but required certain conditions to be met.

However, what those conditions were, Jiang Ping didn't know yet. He could only explore slowly, hoping to figure out the mystery as soon as possible.

Jiang Ping was thinking about the mystery of the phenomenon, but his current behavior gave the English teacher a different impression. Seeing that Jiang Ping was looking at him with what seemed to be a hint of expectation, the English teacher thought he wanted to answer a question. In the teacher's view, such a diligent student should be encouraged.

Just then, the teacher needed a student to read a dialogue, so he nodded at Jiang Ping, "Jiang Ping, read the text on page 75 for everyone!"

Jiang Ping, who was lost in thought, didn't hear the teacher clearly. It wasn't until the teacher called his name a second time that he stood up, looking confused, "Mr... Mr. Wang, what did you call me for?"
