Reincarnation: Trying to pretend to be ordinary, but it turns out it's really impossible.
Chapter 2 The Ultimate Underachiever
Su Ningning made up her mind; she was determined to work hard and improve herself.
For the next few years, Su Ningning got up earlier than the chickens and went to bed later than the dogs every day.
Hard work pays off. After several years of perseverance, when she entered junior high school, she finally broke through from being "perennial last place" to... the bottom ten or so.
Su Ningning: . . . . .
She strongly suspected that the reason they were ranked in the bottom ten was because the school had become too big, and all the idiots from various elementary schools had gathered there.
During every Lunar New Year and other holidays, at the family reunion dinner, the elders would always praise their cousins, saying they were "smart," "clever," and "promising."
When it's her turn, she always says only one thing: "Our Ningning is cute, not bad."
There wasn't even a word about her being "well-behaved" because, in the past ten years or so, besides having terrible grades, she has also had quite a few "great achievements".
When Su Ningning was in kindergarten, she thought the flowers in the neighborhood were so colorful and beautiful.
She thought that her mother, Chen Yayun, loved flowers. If she gave her mother a bouquet of flowers, her mother might happily reward her with ice cream!
Without hesitation, she took advantage of her mother's inattention, secretly grabbed a small pair of scissors, and dashed downstairs to start cutting the flower bed.
Before long, he brought back a large bunch and excitedly gave it to Chen Yayun.
When Chen Yayun looked at the bouquet of flowers, the more she looked at them, the more familiar they seemed, and a sense of foreboding rushed to her head.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the property management and urban management officers to arrive at the door together.
A quick check of the surveillance footage revealed the whole thing clearly. Besides, the bouquet of flowers was still at the Su family's house when they arrived.
That's good, the evidence is complete.
The family was fined a sum of money, enough to buy a large, beautifully packaged bouquet at a reputable florist.
Su Ningning stood to the side, looking completely bewildered. So, you can't just cut flowers however you want...
When Su Ningning was in the third grade of elementary school, one day she saw a fat pigeon fly by in the neighborhood. Her hand was faster than her brain, and she casually shot the pigeon down.
But no matter how much they searched, there was nothing on the pigeon's leg; they couldn't even find half a note.
She squatted on the ground, puzzled for a long time, unable to understand why the pigeon would fly out without carrying a message.
That very evening, the pigeon's owner—an old man—came to her door and angrily began to berate her.
In the end, she was not only severely scolded, but her parents also had to pay the old man a sum of money to settle the matter.
Su Ningning, standing obediently to the side, taking the scolding: ...
When Su Ningning was in the fifth grade of elementary school.
One day, she happened to see a strange man sneak into Aunt Li's house.
A short while later, a woman's cries came from inside the room; she sounded like she was in considerable pain.
It wasn't that she was intentionally eavesdropping; it's just that her hearing was exceptionally good.
She originally wanted to rush in to save the people, but remembering her previous experiences, she quickly learned her lesson and acted more cautiously this time.
She rushed home to call her mother, and then called over several helpful neighbors. With a serious expression, she said that something seemed to have happened inside.
Upon hearing this, the neighbors assumed someone had been bullied or kidnapped, so several of them immediately joined forces and smashed the door open with a loud bang.
As a result, a group of people rushed in, and froze instantly upon seeing the scene inside.
The living room was a mess, with clothes scattered haphazardly on the floor. From behind the tightly closed bedroom door, faint sounds of panic could be heard.
Instantly, everyone in the room became extremely embarrassed, and their expressions became very uncomfortable.
Several of the younger ones wished they could disappear into a crack in the ground; their legs instinctively retreated, and they just wanted to turn around and leave as quickly as possible.
The air was eerily still. Just as everyone was contemplating quietly slipping away, Grandma Lin, standing in the crowd, spoke up, her voice filled with doubt:
"Didn't Xiao Zhang go out? He specifically told me before that he wouldn't be back for a month, and he asked me to help look after his wife and child whenever I had time. Why is he here now...?"
The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell into a deathly silence; even breathing was barely audible.
Everyone looked at each other, especially a few aunties whose eyes lit up immediately; they didn't intend to leave.
A few minutes later, seeing that the people outside didn't seem to intend to leave, the people inside slowly came out.
Aunt Li came out from inside. She was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and had a pretty face. Her hair was messy and stuck to her cheeks. Although her clothes had been hastily tidied, you could still see some wrinkles from the rush.
Her face turned pale and then flushed, her expression extremely unpleasant. She kept her head down, not daring to look at the group of people standing at the door.
Aunt Wang, who had always been at odds with Aunt Li, deliberately raised her voice and spoke:
"Is that Xiao Zhang inside? Why didn't he tell us he was coming back? Didn't he say he wouldn't be back for a month?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Li's face turned so dark it seemed like water could drip from it, her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly awkward, Aunt Wang's husband quickly stepped forward, tugged at his wife's arm, and tried to smooth things over:
"Stop talking, stop talking! Let Xiao Zhang handle this himself. Hurry up and leave, everyone!"
The other grandmothers nearby also came to their senses and chimed in:
"Yes, yes, let's go, let's go."
Everyone was eager to escape this suffocatingly awkward situation. Hearing this, they all nodded, said no more, and hurriedly turned to leave.
Su Ningning stood at the very back, staring blankly, with only one thought in her mind:
Oh no, it seems I've gotten into trouble again.
A month later, Aunt Li and Uncle Zhang divorced. The day Uncle Zhang came back, the two had a big fight, which scared Su Ningning so much that she didn't dare to leave the house.
Mr. Su looked at the culprit. Although he knew that this was not his daughter's fault, since the truth could not be hidden forever and it was bound to come out sooner or later, he still did not want his daughter to be the one to find out.
There were just too many absurd things that had happened to his daughter.
These are the bigger issues; there are countless smaller ones as well.
After this happened several times, they couldn't take it anymore. The neighbors started looking at their daughter differently, and behind her back, they would tell their own children to stay away from her.
They knew it too.
But they couldn't do anything about it. They didn't know why their daughter's thoughts and behaviors were so different from ordinary people.
Good heavens, all they need is a simple little cotton-padded jacket.
I really don't ask for much!
