Chapter 7 - It Was Great To Have A Second Chance At Life

If Lu Beixiao and Ye Qiao managed to have their child in their previous life, he or she would almost be the same age as Ye Zhenzhen today.
"What filth! You… You are the bumpkin?" Filled with indignation, Ye Zhenzhen took two unsteady steps back, for she could not believe how beautiful the girl was right now, it was almost incomparable to how she looked before.
"What? I have only changed my clothes, removed my glasses, and tied a ponytail. Are these small changes enough to make me unrecognizable to you?" Without delay, Ye Qiao left the room to do her early morning run.
She was pleased to infuriate the 16-year-old, who only behaved well in front of her elders but generally disrespected everyone else.
Since she was given this chance at a second life, she would not hide away and act like her old inferior self in front of Ye Zhenzhen. She would no longer be a bumpkin!
As for Chen Ya, she was still standing there looking dumbfounded, unable to utter a word. She could not keep her eyes off from the girl who had clearly redefined elegance in her head. She could only watch as her figure gradually went away.
…
At the peak of summer, the heat was already unbearable from as early as six in the morning. Nevertheless, the members of the military were already in the midst of their training. The team's morale was high as they chanted their slogans in unison. Additionally, their spirits were instantly boosted Ye Qiao's positive energy!
It was great to have a second chance at life! Everything was perfect in its own way - the exquisite view of the clear blue sky, the pleasing orchestra of the sound of nature, and the marvel of the emerald green woods. She even began to admire the redbrick building that was obscured by the overgrown trees. Even the grass that glittered with dew made her happy.
There was never a need to show her identity card in the past until the guard stopped her out of the blue. She claimed to be Ye Qiao, but her new look was unconvincing to the security. However, as soon as the guard saw her identity card, his stern face was instantly replaced with a look of stunned astonishment.
Is she really Grandfather Ye's eldest granddaughter? The girl who was always in her blue and white uniform throughout the year? The one with braids and bold glasses that covered half of her face? The slow-witted girl with no sense of fashion?
The girl swayed her ponytail as she walked at a brisk pace, vibrant with youth and energy. She turned around and gave the guard a sweet smile that melted his heart away.
…
"Grandpa, you have a low level of blood sugar. You should eat first. I will wait for my sister to come back." Ye Zhenzhen hoped that her sister's change of appearance did not also come with a change of behavior.
Ye Qiao was never punctual for breakfasts, so Ye Zhenzhen happily assumed that Ye Qiao would be late as usual. In fact, she had been feeling quite uneasy ever since they met earlier in the morning.
She had no idea that the bumpkin in the next room was endowed with such beauty.
"I will wait a little while more. I heard that your sister went for her morning run? That's good to know!" To Grandfather Ye's relief, he was happy to know that his granddaughter was not staying in bed till late.
"Grandpa, I'm afraid that we'd have to wait an hour more before she returns." Ye Zhenzhen sighed after she spoke.
However, someone who had just happily entered the house quickly interrupted her. The red jersey top perfectly complimented the girl's tender, rosy skin that was still flushed from her morning exercise. Rather flustered, even Grandfather Ye was caught off guard by the presence of such a vibrant and attractively sporty girl in his house.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting! It took me a while to get these sesame seed cakes. I promise to wake up earlier to get them tomorrow." Ye Qiao walked in and put two paper bags on the table. The cakes still sat warmly in the bags with both salty and sweet flavors. Those were her grandfather's favorites! She ran two kilometers just to get her grandfather the cakes that he liked.
"Qiao Qiao!" It took her grandfather a few solid minutes to recognize her.
Grandfather Ye received her gift excitedly, for she had never done so before.
