Why don't you believe I'm a reincarnated person?

Chapter 13 Your mom just called.

"Dude, when did you start dating?"

"You've kept this a secret very well; even we didn't know until the teacher told us..."

"That's amazing!"

As soon as Lao Wang left, the students in the front and back rows of the classroom surrounded Ye Kai, putting their arms around his shoulders and interrogating him with all sorts of questions.

"I don't!"

"It wasn't me!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Ye Kai immediately denied the accusation three times in a row, refusing to acknowledge this baseless accusation.

He does want to have a relationship early on, but he needs to have someone to date first, right?

Old Wang is so careless. He just saw him and Shen Jiayi together at the flower and bird market and came to the conclusion that they were having an early romance. It's utterly absurd!

With such a vivid imagination, why doesn't he write novels? What future is there in being a teacher?

Early romance isn't a big deal for high school seniors. After a few jokes, everyone dispersed. Entertainment is just a temporary thrill; cramming for exams is the ultimate goal for high school students.

"That old Wang is really going too far!"

Ye Kai tore open the packaging of the spicy chicken wings, took a big bite, and said angrily.

"That's right, that's right."

"He's someone who believes everything he hears; he's unpredictable."

Shen Jiayi nodded repeatedly, indicating her strong agreement.

She was perfectly aware of the situation. The reason Ye Kai was being targeted and criticized by Lao Wang without being named was simply because he was caught in the crossfire of her actions.

As the top student in the class, Shen Jiayi was naturally not easily criticized by the teachers, so the unlucky one could only be Ye Kai, who was discovered to be with her, which is quite reasonable.

Putting aside Lao Wang's moral high ground and pointing fingers, doesn't Shen Jiayi bear any responsibility in this matter?

Ye Kai glanced at Shen Jiayi, but ultimately didn't have the heart to call on her directly.

Out of silent protest against Lao Wang's irresponsible and indiscriminate generalizations, Ye Kai decided not to do any more Chinese practice tests for the next week... anyway, continuing to do them wouldn't raise his Chinese score to 140+.

In this way, until the Lunar New Year's Eve holiday, Ye Kai completed more than a hundred practice tests, managing to raise his math score to over 120 and his combined science score to over 230.

"Wow, I'm incredibly awesome when I'm going all out!"

Before the holiday, Ye Kai summarized his achievements and was surprised by his own performance.

English 130+, Chinese 130+, Math 120+, Science 230+, total score 610+.

Such a result is almost on par with Shen Jiayi, and she could try to break into the top 20 in the grade.

Old Wang and the other teachers were also stunned by Ye Kai's rapid improvement in grades. They couldn't understand how this little Karami, who was originally struggling below the first-tier university admission line, suddenly awakened his original power and became the dark horse with the fastest progress in this year's college entrance examination.

"Does early romantic relationships among high school seniors actually help improve their grades?"

The homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang, clutched his sparse hair and carefully recalled the cause and effect of the matter, but he couldn't grasp the key point. In his confusion, he fell into deep self-doubt.

Even with over thirty years of dedicated experience in education, he could not find a reasonable explanation for this.

But no matter what, this is ultimately a good thing, as it increases the base number of students guaranteed admission to top 985 universities under Lao Wang's supervision.

……

When Ye Kai dragged his luggage back to the Little Red House, he saw his grandmother, Xu Jingyuan, sitting on the sofa in the living room making a phone call.

Professor Xu's expression wasn't too good, but it wasn't terrible either. She turned her head to look at Ye Kai, nodded slightly, and then continued to whisper something to him.

"Grandma, I'm going upstairs to put my things away."

Ye Kai didn't think much of it and dragged his suitcase straight up to the second floor.

This time, I only stayed at school for a short time, so I didn't bring back too many dirty clothes. I can wash them in the afternoon and also help my grandma make some dumplings to prepare for the New Year.

After washing the clothes, Ye Kai took a shower. When he came out after drying his hair, he saw his grandmother, Xu Jingyuan, folding memorial tablets with yellow paper and then writing "The tablets of the three generations of Ye family ancestors" in small regular script with a brush.

New Year's Eve.

When Ye Kai was a child, every time he saw this temporary memorial tablet, he knew that the time for bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new year had come again.

"My dear grandson."

"Let's offer incense and pay our respects."

Grandma pasted the written ancestral tablet on the wall behind the altar, lit three incense sticks, and then spoke to Ye Kai.

"Okay!"

Ye Kai pulled over a soft cushion, knelt down with a thud, and then performed a grand ceremony, kowtowing three times with a resounding thud.

If he had any reservations about idol worship before, now that he's been reborn, he has no such thoughts at all. His motto is "The more respect you have, the less likely you are to be offended; I'll worship you as long as you're here."

"May our ancestors bless our grandson so that he can get into a good university this year."

At this moment, Professor Xu was no longer Professor Xu, but an ordinary grandmother who was devoutly blessing her grandson. She was muttering something in a soft voice, so soft that even Ye Kai, who was standing right next to her, could not hear it clearly.

Don't ask anything, just tell me it's tradition.

Ye Kai has always been quite well-behaved and never asks about his parents unless his grandmother is willing to tell him.

Professor Xu basically avoided talking about this issue. Even before his rebirth, Ye Kai had never received much news about his dead father and runaway mother. Over the years, his relationship with his parents existed only as two cold names written in the parents' section when filling out his personal information.

Father: Ye Zhenhuan (deceased)

Mother: Feng Yuqiu

Apart from that, he had no other memories of his parents.

The only certainty is that his biological mother is still alive, somewhere in this world, living her own life.

Let's part ways amicably and wish each other well.

After dark, the sound of firecrackers began to ring out incessantly outside.

The smell of gunpowder in the air had already reached the Little Red Building.

Although some large cities have begun to ban the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers, small cities like Xinghua City, which are not so strict in their regulations, mainly operate on the principle of "no investigation unless the people complain." Even if the people do complain, they may not be able to catch the culprit. Especially during the Spring Festival, the police just turn a blind eye as long as no major safety incidents occur.

If you want to manage things more strictly, you need to have a sufficient number of police officers.

There were too many flowers and plants in the yard, so Ye Kai dragged two stools to the open space outside the yard, lit the fuses, and then kept a safe distance away.

"Crackling and popping—"

Plumes of smoke shot out from the mound, exploding dozens of meters high and scattering sparks across the sky.

Half the night sky was illuminated.

After watching the two stoves completely extinguish, Ye Kai returned to the Little Red House and began making dumplings with his grandmother, Xu Jingyuan, accompanied by the prelude to the Spring Festival Gala, which was no longer very appealing on TV.

The TV was showing "Little New Year's Greetings," performed by the Yu Quan family.

When Ye Kai saw Chen Yufan and Bai Baihe performing together so intimately on stage, he felt a very strange feeling and didn't know what to say.

Sometimes, knowing in advance what will happen in the future isn't necessarily a good thing; it can make it easy to get distracted while watching TV.

"Your mom just called."

After finishing wrapping the last pork and lotus root dumpling, Grandma Xu Jingyuan said something seemingly casually.
