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

When this news reached Shen Xingbai's ears, his face instantly turned ashen, and his entire expression darkened.

The atmosphere around us was frighteningly cold.

The reason for this needs to be explained from the beginning.

Shen Xingbai had previously mentioned receiving many love letters, which inexplicably upset Su Ningning.

In addition, she has a cute and adorable appearance and a likable personality, so she quickly attracted a suitor.

He was a handsome young man, and his overall qualities were quite good.

He was exceptionally attentive to Su Ningning, sending her all sorts of snacks and treats every day in a gentle and attentive manner.

Su's father had told her before that she should have a sweet romance when she went to college. Campus romance is pure and beautiful and can make college life exceptionally happy.

Su's father meant that he wanted his daughter to become more perceptive, and ideally, she could get together with Shen Xingbai in college.

Unexpectedly, Su Ningning hadn't even considered Shen Xingbai.

At this moment, Su Ningning saw that the boy in front of her was good-looking and brought her delicious food every day, so she nodded and accepted his confession.

She brought snacks back to her dorm every day from boys. Her roommate, Lin Zhixia, only knew that a boy was pursuing her, and seeing her constantly eating snacks, she simply assumed it was a sign of affection from her suitors.

They had no idea that Su Ningning had already agreed to the other party's request.

One day, Su Ningning got ready and prepared to go out for her appointment.

Looking at her, Lin Zhixia casually asked:

Where are you going?

Su Ningning bluntly stated, "I'm going to have dinner with my boyfriend."

The room fell silent instantly after those words were spoken.

Lin Zhixia froze on the spot, and Xu Shuyao and Lin Jiajia beside her also stood frozen in place, all three pairs of eyes looking at Su Ningning with shock.

Lin Jiajia was the first to come to her senses, and she began to stammer as she spoke.

Incredulous, he pressed, "What...what did you just say?"

Su Ningning tilted her head, looking puzzled. "I said I'm going to have dinner with my boyfriend."

"Where did you get a boyfriend from?!" Lin Jiajia raised her voice in exasperation.

Shen Xingbai wasn't away on a study tour and wouldn't be back until tonight!

"It's the one that brings me delicious food every day," Su Ningning replied with a blank look.

I don't know why my roommates were so surprised.

After hearing her words, Lin Zhixia, Xu Shuyao, and Lin Jiajia all fell silent, looking at each other, unsure of what to say.

Seeing Su Ningning about to leave, Lin Jiajia finally couldn't hold back anymore. She rubbed her forehead and said with a look of exasperation:

"Su Ningning, is there something wrong with your eyes?"

Su Ningning immediately stopped and retorted, even widening her eyes:

"Impossible! My eyesight is excellent. I can see things clearly even a hundred meters away. You can test me if you don't believe me!"

Looking at her innocent and naive appearance, Lin Jiajia completely lost her temper and only felt a headache coming on.

He waved his hand wearily and said:

"Alright, you can go now. Go eat."

As soon as Su Ningning disappeared from the dormitory doorway, the dormitory fell into a deathly silence.

Lin Zhixia, Xu Shuyao, and Lin Jiajia didn't speak first; they were still a little dazed.

Finally, Lin Zhixia broke the silence first, slumping into her chair, her voice filled with helplessness:

"What should we do... We should have realized this when we saw her eating snacks that other people gave her every day!!"

If Shen Xingbai found out about this, wouldn't he be furious?

Xu Shuyao crossed her arms, her brows furrowed, and after a moment of contemplation,

"Just tell him directly, cut the Gordian knot. The longer this drags on, the more complicated it will become."

Lin Jiajia nodded in agreement:

"Yes! Tell him right away! If he comes back and sees us, the situation will get even more out of control!"

Shen Xingbai was still on the bus returning from the study tour when his phone suddenly vibrated. It was a WeChat message from Lin Zhixia, containing only one short line of text:

[Brother Ningning, Ningning is in a relationship, it's true.]

Shen Xingbai's face froze instantly, as if the blood in his body had frozen in an instant, his heart suddenly turned cold, and even his fingertips felt a chill.

As soon as he arrived at school, he ignored his unpacked luggage and the fatigue from his journey and immediately turned around and headed straight for the restaurant where Su Ningning was eating.

I learned from Lin Zhixia that Su Ningning was having dinner with that boy at a restaurant.

He walked hurriedly, his heart churning with panic and anger.

The moment he pushed open the restaurant door, he spotted Su Ningning.

The little girl sat at the table, her cheeks bulging, eating with a satisfied expression, a little oil stain on the corner of her mouth, and a relaxed smile in her eyes.

Across from her sat a fairly handsome young man who kept putting food on her plate.

He carefully pushed all her favorite dishes in front of her, his eyes filled with deliberate tenderness.

The image stung Shen Xingbai's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly.

His fingernails dug deep into the flesh of his palms, sending a sharp pain through him, but he felt nothing.

I felt my heart clench tightly, and a dense, dull pain spread throughout my body.

I felt so uncomfortable that I could barely breathe.

He stood motionless in an inconspicuous corner of the restaurant, watching the two finish their meal.

He remained like an unfeeling sculpture throughout, the chill in his eyes growing ever stronger.

Until dinner ended, the boy escorted Su Ningning back to her dormitory building, and Shen Xingbai silently followed behind him.

The only thing that made him feel slightly relieved was that the two kept their distance throughout, without even holding hands or engaging in any other intimate gestures.

He looked at Su Ningning's innocent and naive appearance.

He suspected that this girl didn't even know what dating was.

He even suspected that Su Ningning might accept his confession just for some food.

But despite his thoughts, he couldn't help feeling afraid. He was afraid that Su Ningning really liked him, and that he would never have another chance.

As the boy turned to leave, Su Ningning hummed a little tune and prepared to walk back to her dormitory when a figure suddenly blocked her way.

Su Ningning looked up and saw Shen Xingbai's face, which was frighteningly gloomy.

She paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she looked up at him happily, saying:

"Shen Xingbai, what brings you here?"

Shen Xingbai suppressed the surging emotions within him and did not answer her question.

He asked, enunciating each word carefully, "Are you in a relationship?"

"That's right!" Su Ningning straightened her back, looking smug.

"I knew it! I'm so cute, how could no one have a crush on me? Look, now a guy likes me!"

Seeing her smug expression, Shen Xingbai suddenly remembered the last time they had dinner together.

When he casually mentioned receiving a love letter from a girl, Su Ningning looked utterly dejected.

He muttered that he had never received a love letter.

He instantly regretted it and wanted to slap himself. He hadn't seen the reaction he wanted to see, and instead, he had provoked Su Ningning.

Shen Xingbai pressed on in a deep voice:

Do you know him? Do you know what kind of personality and character he has?

Do you know what kind of person he is, or what his family situation is like?

A barrage of questions followed, and Su Ningning blinked blankly, then shook her head.

She answered confidently, "I don't know, but he buys me lots of delicious food and brings me snacks every day."

Shen Xingbai felt a tightness in his chest from her words.
