Reincarnation: Trying to pretend to be ordinary, but it turns out it's really impossible.

Summer vacation has started, and Shen Xingbai has to go home.

Shen Mingqiang's leg never healed, and he was completely ruined. His temper became more and more irritable, and he spent all day at home cursing and throwing things like a madman, never stopping for a moment.

With her family struggling to make ends meet, Li Jing had to work two jobs a day, leaving early and returning late. She had no time to care about Shen Xingbai, nor did she bother to.

Shen Xingbai, on the contrary, found it peaceful.

He spent his days at the library, and as soon as he got home at night, he would slam the door shut. No matter how much Shen Mingqiang screamed and went crazy outside, he would just put on his earphones.

I could read and study quietly, and when I got tired, I would just go to sleep, as if that door separated two worlds.

But the calmer and more outstanding he was, the more Shen Mingqiang hated him.

Watching Shen Xingbai grow taller and more handsome day by day, and then looking at his own颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dejected, and crippled) and crippled appearance, neither human nor ghost, he felt a pang of envy.

He was convinced that Shen Xingbai was silently mocking him and looking down on him.

Jealousy and hatred completely clouded his judgment.

That night, Shen Mingqiang finally went mad.

He didn't sleep all night, just sat blankly at Shen Xingbai's door.

In the morning, the sound of Shen Xingbai's door turning was heard. Shen Mingqiang stood up, holding onto the door frame, clutching something tightly in his hand.

As soon as Shen Xingbai opened the door, a flash of silver light appeared, and a knife came straight at him.

Shen Xingbai reacted quickly, instinctively raising his hand to block, but his left arm took a sharp blow, and blood gushed out instantly.

In excruciating pain, Shen Xingbai snatched the knife from the other man's hand with his right hand, then flung the limping Shen Mingqiang away.

Shen Mingqiang, who already had difficulty walking, fell heavily onto the cold ground. His knees throbbed with pain from hitting the ground, and he immediately began to curse angrily at the top of his lungs:

"You heartless, ungrateful bastard! You dare to lay a hand on me? I've wasted my time raising you! You jinx, if it weren't for you, would I be this crippled now?!"

He lay on the ground, struggling to get up, his eyes red as he roared, "You unfilial ingrate! You think you're all grown up now and dare to hit me? I should have strangled you back then!"

Shen Xingbai remained expressionless, seemingly oblivious to the curses, and calmly picked up his phone to call the police.

When the police arrived and saw the scene and the injuries, the situation was clear, and they immediately took Shen Mingqiang, who had stabbed someone, into custody.

When Li Jing heard the news, she was completely stunned.

Looking at her completely ruined home, her wounded son, and her husband about to go to jail, she felt no regret whatsoever. She packed her few belongings and quietly fled, never to return.

Overnight, my home was completely gone.

Shen Mingqiang went to jail, Li Jing ran away, and all the relatives avoided him like the plague, no one willing to get involved in this mess.

Shen Xingbai was not yet an adult when he became an orphan with no one to care for him.

After bandaging the wound on his arm, Shen Xingbai deliberately covered it with his sleeve.

During tutoring, Su Ningning accidentally touched Shen Xingbai's arm, and Shen Xingbai couldn't help but hiss.

Su Ningning quickly lifted his sleeve and caught sight of the white bandage on his arm. She immediately frowned and asked:

"Shen Xingbai, what happened to your hand? Why is it bandaged?"

Shen Xingbai's fingertips stiffened slightly. He withdrew his hand without showing any emotion and said in a calm tone:

"It's nothing, I just accidentally cut myself while cutting fruit yesterday."

Su Ningning looked at him suspiciously:

"How could you cut your arm while cutting fruit? Don't you usually cut your hand?"

Caught off guard, Shen Xingbai remained unfazed, immediately changing the subject. He took out his math notebook, flipped to the marked page, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry about that. These key points are crucial. I'll highlight them for you, so you can memorize them carefully. Also, try doing these example problems."

Su Ningning's attention was instantly diverted, and she busied herself looking at the notes, and sure enough, she didn't continue to ask about the wound.

In the following days, she would always take extra care of Shen Xingbai.

Small tasks that require physical effort, such as fetching water or carrying documents.

Su Ningning took the initiative to do it, coming over as soon as get out of class was over and running errands for him for several days in a row.

During the break, Zhang Tianyu watched Su Ningning walk away and secretly nudged Shen Xingbai with his elbow.

She glanced at his injured arm with a suggestive look, then lowered her voice and teased:

"Hey, how come you got this injury by such a coincidence? You didn't hurt yourself on purpose, just so Su would be running errands for you every day, so you could see her all the time, right?"

Shen Xingbai immediately raised her eyes and glared at him coldly: "I'm not as boring as you."

As soon as they finished speaking, they saw Su Ningning walking over with a stack of homework books. The two immediately shut their mouths and said no more.

Shen Xingbai looked at her and spoke softly:

"Actually, I can do it myself. I have no problem holding these things with my right hand. You don't need to bother me all the time."

Su Ningning shook her head and said seriously:

"You're going to participate in a math competition, so you need to take good care of your injury. Only when you're fully recovered can you focus on the competition. You can't afford to make any mistakes."

The students in the special training class huddled together and began to whisper among themselves.

"Look, isn't Su Ningning pursuing our class monitor?"

"How could that be! Her grades are just average, how could she be worthy of being the class monitor? Our class monitor is now one of the top three students in the whole school, and she just qualified for the math competition. She's so amazing."

"Exactly. So many people are chasing after the class monitor, even the school beauty secretly likes him, but the class monitor hasn't even given him a second glance. How could he possibly be interested in her?"

"Hey, think about it carefully, haven't you noticed how much the class monitor treats Su Ningning? Others aren't even allowed to touch his books or notes, but Su Ningning is the only one he lets fetch water for him, move his books, and patiently tutors him. Who else has ever received such treatment?"

Upon hearing this, the students fell silent, each harboring their own doubts.

At this moment, a classmate from their junior high school quickly waved his hand and retorted in a low voice:

"Don't make wild guesses! Su Ningning and Shen Xingbai were deskmates in junior high school, they were just good friends."

"Don't let her small stature fool you, her stamina is top-notch! In the junior high school sports meet, she won first place in every event she participated in. Even now, in her current senior year (3) class, she won first place in the overall sports meet, all thanks to her!"

The man gave a thumbs-up and continued:

"With her skills, if she really wanted to pursue the class monitor, she could just force herself on him and what could he do? The fact that she didn't do that probably means she doesn't have feelings for him."

The rest of the students: ...

Hey classmate, do you want to listen to what you're saying? Are you a spy sent by Su Ningning?

However, after hearing this student's explanation, they abandoned their previous guesses.

Everyone felt that Su Ningning and Shen Xingbai were just good friends, their relationship was perfectly innocent, and they had no romantic feelings for each other at all.

After learning all this, Shen Xingbai fell into a long silence.

A few days later, Su Ningning learned the truth about Shen Xingbai's injury from Zhang Yuchuan.

Zhang Yuchuan was also in this high school, but her grades were at the bottom, just like before.

He started arguing with someone in the hallway, deliberately complaining loudly:

"Do you know? Shen Xingbai's family is completely finished. His dad tried to kill him with a knife but got arrested, and his mom just ran away. Now he's all alone... I think he must be really despicable for his own parents to treat him like this."

The others listened with a sigh.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xingbai, a top student, comes from such a family background.

A few others who disliked Shen Xingbai echoed his sentiments.

These words were overheard by Su Ningning, who happened to be passing by.
