However, after moving to the liberal arts class, he didn’t really change much—he quickly went from being a star student in the key class to someone who was at the very bottom even in the liberal arts class.

And this William Harris was the best friend he made in the liberal arts class. If Michael Bolton chose the liberal arts class simply because he was better at it, then William Harris did it entirely because he’d heard there were more girls in the liberal arts class, especially pretty girls.

In fact, that was true. Boys are naturally more advantaged than girls in science subjects—of course, this isn’t absolute, but it does apply to the vast majority.

So, unlike the science class where boys cluster together, the liberal arts class is definitely where the girls gather. There really were quite a few pretty girls in the class!

And, as it turned out, William Harris actually managed to win over a very good-looking girl, and they stayed together all the way through college without breaking up. The last time Michael Bolton contacted William Harris before his rebirth was because William Harris was getting married to her, and invited Michael Bolton to attend the wedding if he had time.

Although many people said that girl marrying William Harris was like a flower stuck in a pile of cow dung, Michael Bolton didn’t see it that way. William Harris wasn’t handsome, and he was quite fat, but in this society, can good looks be used as a credit card?

William Harris was truly very good to that girl, and the two of them were very happy together—that’s enough!

Sometimes, happiness is just that simple!

Deep down, Michael Bolton was actually very envious of William Harris, and of course, he wished him all the best!

“Well, so what if we can’t? There’s still one semester left, isn’t there?” Michael Bolton said with a smile. Now that he’d been reborn, of course he wouldn’t let himself sink any further—he was determined to make up for his past regrets.

On the other hand, he was much more open-minded now. No matter how bad things got, could it really be worse than his previous life?

“Sigh, we really are so unlucky! Why is that? The last class got a holiday for New Year’s!” William Harris ‘wailed’.

“Alright, stop complaining. Don’t you want to see your Linlin sooner?” Michael Bolton grinned.

“How did you know?” William Harris immediately looked at Michael Bolton as if facing a formidable enemy. After all, he’d never told anyone this secret, and it wasn’t until the second half of senior year, when he started pursuing her fiercely, that Michael Bolton found out.

“How I know is none of your business. Are we going or not? If we don’t, we’ll really be late!”

“Hey, how did you know?”

“I’m telling you, you said it in your sleep—believe it or not?”

“Tch!”

“Whether you believe it or not, I do, hahaha!”

Under the morning sun, the two boys’ figures walked farther and farther away, gradually fading into the distance. The days of youth seemed to rewind once again!

Chapter Two: Deskmate

This year, No. 3 High School had just finished renovations, so from the outside it still looked pretty new. People always say that elementary schools abroad are built more luxuriously than government office buildings, but actually, in China, the speed at which city schools are renovated isn’t slow at all. You could say that government staff are just too fast, too efficient, and too aggressive in this area.

The students on the road were all in a hurry—at this time, everyone was basically arriving at school right as the bell rang, so there was no way anyone could look calm or relaxed.

Michael Bolton and William Harris also arrived at school almost exactly as the bell rang. Along the way, William Harris kept pestering Michael Bolton with questions, but Michael Bolton just wouldn’t say a word. After all, being reborn was something he could never tell anyone—it was a secret he’d have to take to the grave.

“Are you going to tell me or not!” William Harris demanded.

“We’re at school!” Michael Bolton said with a laugh. He’d never seen him so patient about anything else.

“Ring ring ring!” Suddenly, the sound of a bicycle bell came from behind. A tall, handsome boy came speeding up on a mountain bike.

“Screech!” The bike stopped right in front of them.

The boy grinned at them and said, “Why are you two so late today?”

“David Thompson!” Even though he was now certain he’d been reborn, seeing this big guy in front of him still made him excited.

David Thompson was another best friend from his high school days—tall, handsome, a popular figure at school, but he was especially close with the very ordinary William Harris and Michael Bolton. That’s what they call birds of a feather!

David Thompson’s family was very wealthy. Michael Bolton only found this out by chance after they went to college. Back in school, he just knew David Thompson’s family was well-off, but he never realized that David Thompson’s father was a businessman worth over a billion.

“It’s all this fatty’s fault!” Michael Bolton said with a laugh. “Alright, let’s hurry inside, or we’ll really be late!”

The three of them had just entered the school when the bell for class rang. Michael Bolton and the others waited for David Thompson to park his bike, and then the three of them went into the classroom together.

When the classmates in the room saw it was these three, they immediately lost interest and went back to what they were doing. Looking at all the familiar smiling faces, Michael Bolton was filled with emotion.

After graduating from high school, everyone went their separate ways. Although they’d had class reunions, they never managed to get everyone together. There were many people he hadn’t seen again since high school.
