I Am My Wife: Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4: Back to 10 years ago, Wen Lan Academy

After having a sumptuous breakfast, Mother Ye drove a red Lamborghini that speedily roared out of the forest, on the way to the highway.

Ye Wen watched the passing scenery outside, she tried to open the window to let the air blow inside the car but was stopped by her mother.

"Don't open the window, be careful not to catch a cold."

“……” Ye Wen did not dare to refute her mother, so she had no choice but to take her hand back.

In the year of 2004, there were not many private cars on the streets, not to mention the luxurious car that they are riding, almost every passerby would gaze toward the car, focusing on Ye Wen that made her scalp feel numb —— even though the passengers outside can't see the inside of the car.

A fiery red Lamborghini passed like whirlwind, and it grandly stopped at the entrance of the school.

It is now eight o'clock in the morning, although the time was already considered to be late, the gate of the school is nevertheless open.

There were a few small groups of students who rushed to go inside of the gate but was suddenly stopped by a teacher and made them run a lap on the running track.

Mother Ye rolled down the car's window and beckoned the teacher who made the students run.

"Oh, it's you!"

"Yes, it's me, I came here with my daughter, Wenwen."

"Oh, is Ye Wen already well? then hurry and report to Old Sun." 

"Well, she's ready to go." said by Mother Ye then she drove the Lamborghini into the parking lot of the school.

"Wenwen get off now…" 

"En..." Ye Wen softly said that was having a carsickness in some degree and had fallen asleep a moment ago, opened her eyes then alighted from the car only to be dazzled from the sights of the school.

The old plaque that has the name of the school was written by the use of a bold cursive calligraphy with four characters that gave off a majestic feel to it. ^[1]

Wen Lan Academy is a school that is integrated by three branches, primary, junior high, and a senior high school. The school was divided by the middle—— the senior high school grounds were elevated and have the taken largest part of the school, while the primary and junior high school share the same area.

Ye Wen looked at the large block of buildings covered with golden yellow leaves of the maple trees, as well as the heavy iron gate.

In 2008, Wen Lan Academy was renovated, and the large iron gate has been changed into an automated opening gate.

The memory of her past has coincided with the present time, and she had now the chance to come back to the past, so how could she not be happy?

Student days, young and naive, the most beautiful part of life....

Ye Wen was lost in her memories until she was pulled by the hands of her mother,  indicating her to greet her teacher in a vigorous manner.

She stared intently and realized that it was the teacher who in her past life taught history, the middle-aged teacher that was very humorous.

"Hello, teacher Wen~"

"Hello~ Xiao Wen, you are as beautiful as your mother when she was young."

When Ye Wen blurted out the surname of the teacher, Mother Ye and Old Wen found it odd, that Ye Wen knows his surname, but eventually, they thought that she probably heard it when he was talking to someone else.

Then after they talked, Mother Ye pulled Ye Wen's hand and walked towards to principal's office, after sending their greetings, Ye Wen pretended to be an obedient girl that is quietly sitting beside them.

After a few minutes, Ye Wen was getting impatient, but still waited for a while, and soon the meeting was over.... Principal Sun then brought Mother Ye and Ye Wen to her class.

Which class will it be? In Ye Wen's heart, she's somewhat looking forward to being in the same class again, yet somehow a little afraid to see the familiar faces of her previous classmates, human's heart has always been filled with contradiction.

Finally, Principal Sun stopped in front of the room of Year 1 Class 3, it was the end of their morning walk, the first lesson immediately started, the students were also seated, waiting for the arrival of their teacher.

Principal Sun called out the teacher in charge of their class from her office, after a while their teacher came to the classroom, she looked very young and attractive, also with a doll-like face that makes her look gentle, the students familiarly called her as Ah Dan.

"Wenwen, come here, don't be nervous, go to the front and introduce yourself." 

Ah Dan first announced to her students that because of an illness Ye Wen was reported late to school, then she turned to Ye Wen and encouraged her.

Ye Wen grabbed tightly the cuffs in her sleeves and suddenly thought that there was nothing to be nervous about.

"Are you kidding me?" 

This is class 1-3, this is the class where I once studied from if there are no mistakes in the history, then all of the students here are all my previous classmates, though it's been a while since I saw them, I might still be able to recognize some of them. 

Ye Wen stood on the podium, then she swept a glance to the students in front, just as expected, they all have familiar faces, at this point in time-- their eyes were giving her all sorts of look.

"Hello everyone, my name is Ye Wen, the Ye in leaf, and the character of rain on Wen."

Ye Wen subconsciously lifted up her hair, then her eyes blinked after she finished speaking.

The boys were instantly fascinated by her eyes and continued to cheer loudly.

"Oh, nice!~"

"Welcome, beauty!~" This is the voice of several daring boys.

"Using my body to act cute is truly a lethal weapon." Ye Wen thought as she proudly smiled like a kid who found a new toy to show off.

She swept her eyes again in the classroom and discovered a somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar face.

"Who's that?" has the history changed? But why does she look familiar? Ye Wen's heart was full of doubts.

When the class' teacher saw Ye Wen's graceful self-introduction, she sighed for a while, she thought that the young lady deserved to be from a wealthy family, she stood at the podium and said: "Well.... next, we are going to arrange a seat for Ye Wen."

The student immediately shouted loudly.

"Me, me, me!"

"Here! Sit here with me!"

"Come over here!"

"You don't want your deskmate anymore?"

"How can you be so beautiful and lovely?"

"In fact, you can also treat us as your girl friends!"

"Blarghh——don't make me sick!"


........ 


"Luo Liang Jian~ I heard that you often talk in class? How about you sit next to the podium." Ah Dan said.

"Ah, no.... why is it me.... Luo Liang Jian dryly howled.... "I've already sat next to the podium for two years in junior high"

"Then congratulations, you can sit next to the podium for three years in high school." Ah Dan joked.

"Ye Wen, you can now sit there." Ah Dan said while pointing to Luo Liang Jian's original seat while laughing.

To work hard for beautiful girls, that's a natural thing for the boys. As Luo Liang changed his seat, the boys' envious and hateful eyes gazed upon him and so he quickly packed up his things.

"Eh?"

Ye Wen's heart was shocked, when she was about to walk onto her seat she saw a familiar face sitting next to her desk, unexpectedly it turned out it was his past self?

My seat is next to my past self, what the hell is this….

However, in that case, I seem the only one who was not part of the class from the past? Maybe, historically my body now should not exist at this point in time…

While the history has changed, during that time, Luo Lang Jian has arrived in his new seat next to the podium, and in between the seat of two boys. 

After she was seated, she looked at her side to observe her original body in the past, such a thing may never have happened to anyone, this is certainly amusing!

High school life.... seems like it was going to be interesting. 

Ye Wen deeply sighed.

If only my body hadn't changed! Perhaps I will have another chance to take her! Ye Wen lamented, while looking beside her past self, that even after graduation has been dreaming about that girl, with unrequited love.... it was the most unforgettable thing that she had in the past when she was still a man and young.

After returning 10 years in the past, it was at this age where you find yourself interested in the opposite sex, it was back  then 10 years ago that Ye Wen found.... the girl he really liked, a love that has been diluted by years that passed, and now with the memories of her past, remembered at this time and place.
