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

As for why she was able to easily shoot down pigeons and had such good hearing, it was all because she was forced to do so by the injections.

Everything else is great in this era, except that people have to go to the hospital for even the slightest discomfort.

Every time she goes to the hospital, she inevitably has to get injections and have her blood drawn. As soon as the needle goes in, she feels terrible.

She was very afraid of pain in her past life, which is why she practiced martial arts so hard.

I just want to get hurt less.

She never planned to practice any martial arts or internal energy cultivation in this lifetime, since the world was perfectly safe anyway.

But every few days she had to be forced to get injections, which made her feel emo.

Unable to bear it any longer, she secretly began practicing her internal energy cultivation at night.

After a few months, her health improved so much that she no longer needed to go to the hospital or get injections.

Su Ningning was overjoyed, feeling that her decision was absolutely right.

Now she realizes that this decision doesn't seem very wise o(╥﹏╥)o

Amidst these chaotic days, Su Ningning gradually became a junior high school student.

Junior high school life was even more terrifying than Su Ningning had imagined. There were exams all the time, and after the exams, there were rankings. If you did poorly on a test, your parents would have to be called in.

Fortunately, her father was easygoing. He was worried at first, fearing that his daughter might be mentally challenged, but after seeing that she acted and spoke normally and got along well with her classmates, he was relieved, as long as she wasn't mentally challenged.

After that, he stopped caring about it and spent his days happily glued to his phone, tending to his little shop.

When the teacher talks to him, he always acts extremely respectful, but once he gets home, he immediately reverts to his old ways, lounging around like Ge You, holding his phone and grinning like an idiot.

But Ms. Chen is different.

She was a very strong-willed person and an outstanding doctor in the hospital, so she simply couldn't accept that her daughter was so stupid.

She refused to believe it and enrolled Su Ningning in numerous training courses, determined to improve her grades.

After enduring a year like this, Su Ningning's grades came out—564th in the whole school.

There are 598 students in the whole grade, and several of them skipped the exam.

Looking at the report card, Ms. Chen finally gave up completely and accepted it:

My own daughter is a terrible student.

Both her parents gave up, but Su Ningning refused to acknowledge it.

She didn't think she was really that stupid; she just hadn't found the right method yet, and she also blamed the teachers for making the lessons too difficult for her to keep up with.

She stared at the rankings, her gaze falling again on the name that was far ahead—

Shen Xingbai.

He was Su Ningning's classmate.

Regardless of whether it's a big or small exam, Shen Xingbai always holds the top spot without fail.

This person came to the exam with a fever last time, and still came in first place.

Su Ningning really couldn't understand how someone could be so good at studying.

She felt that Shen Xingbai must have a secret to always getting first place in exams.

She decided to observe this academic genius closely and learn a few tricks from him.

From then on, she kept her eyes glued to Shen Xingbai every day, as if she were stalking him.

Then she discovered that Shen Xingbai was very attentive in class and never daydreamed.

They take even moral education classes extremely seriously.

But Su Ningning wouldn't give up. She always felt that he secretly went somewhere after class, perhaps hiding some kind of study guide. So she simply followed him after class.

Such intense attention might be bearable for a day or two, but over time, no one can stand it.

Finally, one day, Shen Xingbai couldn't hold back any longer and was once again followed to the toilet by Su Ningning.

He stopped the other person.

"Su Ningning, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

Shen Xingbai didn't think Su Ningning had any bad intentions towards him.

After all, in his eyes, Su Ningning was a carefree, naive girl who was always cheerful, simple-minded, but physically strong.

He always gets high scores in sports, but consistently ranks at the bottom in academics.

He sometimes wondered how this person managed to consistently rank so low in exams.

So he really couldn't figure out why this person had been following him and staring at him all these past few days.

Su Ningning had originally considered becoming a sports specialist, but she gave up because of something her aunt said.

Her aunt said,

"Ningning, what does it matter if you're not very bright? You're good at sports! You can be a sports specialist!"

Hearing this, Su Ningning was even more spurred on and became determined to work hard to show them.

She, Su Ningning! Is not stupid at all!!

At this moment, upon hearing Shen Xingbai's question, Su Ningning didn't mince words and answered directly:

"I just want to know, why do you always get such good grades? Is there some secret to it?"

Upon hearing this answer, Shen Xingbai fell silent.

Su Ningning tilted her head and pondered:

"From what I've been observing you for a while, is it because you only eat vegetables and radishes with white rice every day that you're so smart?"

Or is it that you can't eat snacks? I've never seen you eat snacks. Does eating snacks make you stupid?

Shen Xingbai's face darkened little by little, and his eyes were practically spitting fire as he looked at her.

Unaware, Su Ningning continued muttering to herself:

"Or... is it because of your family? I saw your mom was really mean to you last time. Is it because my parents are too good to me that I didn't do well on the test?"

As she spoke, she drifted off into her past life, recalling how she had no parents, yet her martial arts skills were top-notch. Was it really true that one had to endure hardship to become stronger?

Su's parents, who were far away at home, sneezed at the same time for no apparent reason.

Shen Xingbai's face had turned completely cold as he stared intently at Su Ningning, his fingertips clenched so tightly they turned white.

This girl didn't come to ask for study tips; she was clearly holding a knife and stabbing him in his most painful and deeply hidden places.

Shen Xingbai finally reached his breaking point and said coldly:

"Shut up!"

Su Ningning was startled and immediately shut her mouth, her eyes wide open.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Xingbai replied in an icy tone:

"You did poorly on the test because you're stupid, you have a problem with your IQ, it has nothing to do with the method, and even less to do with anything else."

Su Ningning was stunned for two seconds, then instantly became furious.

This was the first time in her life she had been so bluntly called stupid, and she was so angry she felt like she was about to burst into flames.

I feel like I could pin someone down and beat them up.

But seeing his thin, frail body, she knew he wouldn't even be able to withstand two punches from him, so she forced herself to endure it.

She snorted and stubbornly said,

If you don't want to teach me, fine, I don't care to learn from you. I refuse to believe that I can't study well on my own!

Shen Xingbai chuckled:

"Relying on yourself? You'll never get good grades in your life. It's not like you haven't tried."

Su Ningning was speechless for a moment, glared at him fiercely, and turned and stormed off.

Shen Xingbai watched her angrily walk away, feeling somewhat stunned.

From childhood to adulthood, because of his parents, Shen Xingbai has always been tolerant and never argued with anyone, let alone cursed people so bluntly.

Did he go a bit too far just now?

She's just a young girl who only wants to do well in her studies.

Su Ningning returned to her seat angrily. Her deskmate was a girl with a baby face named Yu Anxia.

Seeing her angry expression, Yu Anxia curiously leaned closer and whispered:

"Ningning, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

"It's that Shen Xingbai again!" Su Ningning exclaimed angrily. "He actually called me stupid and dumb!"

Yu Anxia's eyes widened in disbelief:

"Really? Shen Xingbai is known for his good temper and never gets into conflicts with anyone. Why would he scold you?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ningning exploded even more, glaring at her and saying, "You actually don't believe me? You'd rather believe a stranger than me, huh?!"

Yu Anxia quickly waved her hand to comfort her:

"My dear Ningning, of course I believe you! I just feel... could there be some misunderstanding? Shen Xingbai wouldn't scold someone for no reason."

Su Ningning angrily recounted what had just happened.

Yu Anxia fell silent after listening.
