Shang Lian's cousin Shen Xi said she had been reborn.
Her cousin told Shang Lian that he would be dragged into the river by Zhou Yue, the self-proclaimed "class belle" from the class next door, in a lovers' suicide. Zhou Yue would be rescued, but because his hair was short, she wouldn't be able to grab onto him, and the current would sweep him away!
Can you make up something any more ridiculous? Zhou Yue was her cousin's inseparable best friend back in seventh grade. She and Shang Lian barely knew each other. Were they even in love? It would make more sense for her cousin to die for love than for him to do it.
His cousin also said that even after three more years of school, he wouldn't get into the county high school. He could get into the vocational school next door with his eyes closed, the one where "you go in illiterate and come out a hooligan." Seriously, what kind of thing is that to say?
In his "dear" cousin's past-life script, he was a sacrificial pawn. In her "dear" cousin's reborn script, even as a bit-part character, he still had to suffer insults to his intelligence.
Later, his cousin confessed to the aloof top student Shen Xiuzhi and was rejected. She shouted, "What does my cousin have besides that face? You can't possibly be that shallow!" In the end, he became his cousin's romantic rival!
Uh... so in his cousin's reborn life story, he was the villain!
