Volume 1 Rebirth - The Eve of High School Chapter 29 Willow Leaf

  Ai Zi Qing's home is a large courtyard house built by her father Ai Guo Hua's work unit as allocated housing. Anyone with a certain amount of seniority in the unit can be allocated such housing, but it does not come with property rights, only usage rights.

  The people living in the compound were all from the same work unit, so basically they all grew up together as a big group of kids, familiar with each other. Zi Qing remembers that when she was young, she would often play hide-and-seek with everyone, but because she had no presence, she would often hide and not be found until it got dark, forgotten by the other kids. It wasn't until everyone came back to continue playing after dinner that she would be discovered, then quietly return home to eat dinner. Because of this, young Zi Qing was often scolded at home.

  Later on, as she grew up, because of her introverted personality, she couldn't play with those companions anymore, so in the big yard, Aizi Qing belonged to the type that was not well-received.

  This time, the middle school entrance examination results were unexpected, so near the end of the holiday, Zi Qing made two more friends. One was Li Yu, the daughter of Li Wei, Zi Qing's father's leader. The other was shy Liu Ye.

  Li Yu, due to her father's connections and her exceptional looks, has always been the center of attention among her peers, with everyone fawning over her. This year's middle school entrance exam results were also quite impressive, and with her father pulling some strings, she smoothly entered Municipal No. 1 Middle School.

  Li Yu, who was supposed to be the envy of everyone in the dorm during the holiday, had her limelight stolen by Ai Zi Qing's sudden rise to fame. Out of curiosity, she often came to find Ai to go out, but because Ai was extremely busy for most of the holiday, she didn't see her even after coming several times. Just then, a week before school started, Li Yu finally caught up with Ai and said that no matter what, she had to drag her to attend a gathering, under the pretext of broadening her horizons. Ai reluctantly agreed.

  Liu Ye, and Zi Qing is relatively fond of, although the appearance is ordinary, the family environment is ordinary, but through her own efforts also smoothly entered the city's first middle school. Zi Qing thinks that the reason she likes Liu Ye is because she is similar to herself in her previous life. The same shyness, the same introversion, the same unpopularity yet kindness and sincerity. What's different is that Liu Ye has been an excellent student since childhood, although she comes from a single-parent family, but she is her mother's pride.

  On Sunday evening, three people came to Jiahua KTV. Liu Ye stood with Li Yu, apparently a green leaf was used to set off the red flower. It's not that Liu Ye was ugly, but she wore a big pair of glasses all day long, her eyes were somewhat small, and there were some freckles on her face. In Zi Qing's opinion, it was quite cute.

  Ziying had some understanding of Li Yu's personality, she was a very proud girl and somewhat willful. This kind of personality was not unrelated to her life being pampered from a young age. Through their interactions along the way, Ziying knew that Li Yu looked down on herself and Liu Ye, but because they would be classmates at the same school and in the same dormitory, she made an effort to get closer to them, although this closeness also had a hint of showing off.

  Jiahua KTV is located in the city center and has become one of the most luxurious entertainment venues in Yang City this year, if it were the former Aizi Qing, she would only have the qualifications to stand outside the door.

  Jiahua Song Hall has three floors, nearly a thousand square meters, and more than 20 private rooms. However, Zixing soon discovered that the current KTV is not only incomparable to its facilities in later generations, but also lacks some common services in later generations, such as supermarkets selling snacks, beer, fruit platters, etc. within the song hall. This seems like another business opportunity to Zixing.

  As they entered the private room, there were already seven or eight people singing and chatting. When they saw Li Yu arrive, a man immediately smiled and said, "Li, the beauty, why are you so late today? You've kept us waiting." After finishing speaking, he lewdly glanced at Zi Qing and Liu Ye behind Li Yu. His eyes lit up when he saw Zi Qing's pure and delicate face, and he asked with a smile, "Who are these two?"

  Li Yu introduced, "Brother Wang, they are my friends, Liu Ye and Ai Zi Qing. From now on, we'll all be schoolmates." Then he turned his head to introduce them to the two, "This is Brother Wang, who's currently a sophomore at Number One Middle School." He then whispered in their ears, "Wang Hua, this Jia Hua Song Hall was opened by his older brother, and it makes quite a bit of money." Afterwards, he said with some pride, loudly laughing with the two, "You can just call him Brother Wang. From now on, no matter what happens at school, just mention Brother Wang and it'll be fine."

  Wang Hua listened to Li Yu saying this, felt somewhat pleased and nodded his head with a pretentious air of profundity, saying "Li Yu's friends are also Wang Hua's friends, if there's anything in the future just let me know."

  Ziying listened and found it somewhat amusing, and only nodded slightly, politely saying "hello" before falling silent. Liuye was introduced to Wang by Li Yu in a boastful manner, and as a well-behaved student, Liuye had never seen such a scene before. Seeing the large song hall in front of her, which was owned by this person's family, she felt a little surprised and slightly shy, saying "Hello, Brother Wang".

  Wang Hua didn't pay much attention to the two people's attitude, and pulled Li Yu over to introduce her to everyone. The two of them whispered a couple more sentences, then Li Yu came back and sat down next to Zi Qing, saying in a low voice, "Later, a big shot is coming, you guys should just keep quiet and observe, if they ask you something, just answer it, got it?"

  Willow leaf asked with some fear "What big shot? More fierce than Wang Ge just now?"

  "Wang Ge's friend, how could he be bad? I heard his family runs a jewelry company and they're very rich." Li Yu smiled proudly, very satisfied with the impression she had made on Liu Ye.

  "Shall we go? It feels like we're from a different world than them." Liu Ye said in a slightly embarrassed and low tone.

  "What's wrong? I brought you here to let you see what it's like, if you don't experience it for yourself, you'll never know what other people's worlds are like!" Li Yu gave Liu Ye a glance, thinking she was too sheltered and intimidated by this little scene.

  The willow leaves made her feel a bit uncomfortable and also a little scared. Just when she felt helpless, her hand was gently grasped by a pair of slightly cold small hands. She looked up to see Ai Zi Qing smiling as always. For some reason, her heart felt warm and she was no longer that afraid, feeling very secure with Ai Zi Qing by her side.

  Gratefully smiled at Zi Qing, her smile still as shy as ever.
