01.
Yu Xian was reborn in high school. Looking at the textbook Five Years of College Entrance Exams, Three Years of Practice, on his desk, he launched into a string of colorful Chinese curses.
Then his teacher took him to the office for a talk.
02.
After much deliberation, Yu Xian decided to tell his mother the secret he'd kept in his heart.
Yu Xian: "Mom, I'm actually reborn."
Mom: "Oh. Did you go to college?"
Yu Xian: "I did."
Mom: "Which one?"
Yu Xian: "X University."
Mom: "Good. Since you've been reborn, if you still can't get into that school this time, I'll throw you out of the house."
Yu Xian: "..."
03.
Yu Xian couldn't win an argument with his own mother, so he told his good buddy the secret he'd been keeping in his heart.
Yu Xian: "Buddy, I've been reborn."
Buddy: "Oh."
Yu Xian: "I said I've been reborn."
Buddy: "I don't believe you. How can you prove it?"
Yu Xian: "That character from that anime you like dies at the end."
Buddy: "..."
Buddy: "Okay, now I know how you died in your last life. I must've killed you for spoiling the plot. We're done."
