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

All of Lin Jiajia's fear, helplessness, and panic erupted at this moment.

Su Ningning gently patted her back, her tone steady:

"It's alright, don't be afraid, I'll take you back."

"Waaaaah, I'm so scared! I thought I was going to die here today. I'm so young and so beautiful..."

Su Ningning chuckled and comforted him:

"It's all over now, let's go back."

Lin Jiajia sobbed, trying to stand up, but gasped in pain.

"I...I twisted my ankle, I might not be able to walk..."

Without saying a word, Su Ningning squatted down and turned to look at her:

"Get on, I'll carry you."

Lin Jiajia's tears streamed down her face, landing on Su Ningning's shoulder. Her heart ached with a bittersweet feeling, and she choked out, "..."

"Ningning, you're so wonderful! You're like my second parents! From now on, every bite of food I have will be a sip of soup for you!"

When I get back, I'll give you all the treasured chocolates my dad brought me from abroad!

Su Ningning's eyes lit up instantly: "Really? You're not kidding?"

"Of course I'm not lying to you!" Lin Jiajia nodded vigorously, wiping away her tears.

"From now on, if I have any good food, I'll give it all to you; I won't keep a single bite for myself!"

"Okay, then you have to keep your word!" Su Ningning agreed with a smile, steadily supporting her legs.

He got up and walked down the mountain.

Lin Jiajia nestled obediently against Su Ningning's thin yet reassuring back, her long-held anxiety finally settling down completely.

All the tension in my body dissipated.

She buried her head in the crook of Su Ningning's neck and whispered about how she got lost:

"I saw a really beautiful bird flying into the woods, and I couldn't resist taking pictures of it."

While taking pictures, I got lost. Then I heard strange noises, panicked, and ran around randomly, twisting my ankle in the process.

I couldn't find my way back at all... I thought I was really going to die young.

"No, it won't." Su Ningning carried her on her back, her steps steady.

He walked step by step along the mountain path, his tone reassuring.

"So many people are looking for you. Even if I don't come, they will find you sooner or later. It's just a matter of time."

Lin Jiajia hugged her neck tightly, listening to her steady breathing.

The weariness and fear of the past few days welled up in my heart, and as I spoke, I placed my hand on her warm back.

He gradually fell asleep, and his brows relaxed.

When Su Ningning finally returned to her residence carrying the sleeping Lin Jiajia on her back, everyone gathered around.

Lin Zhixia and Xu Shuyao rushed over immediately and saw Lin Jiajia sleeping peacefully on Su Ningning's back.

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and my eyes welled up with tears.

Su Ningning gently raised a finger to her lips, making a "shh" gesture, and lowered her voice:

"Keep your voice down, she's exhausted, let her get some sleep."

The teacher in charge of the group breathed a long sigh of relief upon learning that Lin Jiajia had returned safely.

His anxiety faded, and he quickly stepped forward to check the situation, thanking Su Ningning repeatedly.

The teacher then immediately gathered all the students and gave them a serious warning:

"Starting today, everyone must return to their accommodations before 3 p.m. and are no longer allowed to enter the mountains without permission!"

No one is allowed to go along any remote mountain paths; everyone must travel in small groups.

No one is allowed to go out alone under any circumstances; this must never happen again!

Finally, the teacher looked specifically at Su Ningning and added:

"Su Ningning, you're not allowed to run around the mountains alone anymore. From now on, you'll stick with your roommates so you can look out for each other!"

Su Ningning nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

The next morning, Lin Jiajia woke up with a slight pain in her ankle.

Lin Jiajia limped downstairs and saw Su Ningning sitting and eating breakfast. Her eyes instantly lit up and she forgot most of the pain.

He snuggled up to Su Ningning, resting his head on her shoulder, his eyes filled with adoration.

Lin Zhixia and Xu Shuyao, who were standing to the side, got goosebumps all over and kept grimacing.

Lin Zhixia couldn't help but complain, "My dear lady, do you have to be so exaggerated?"

"Ningning did save you, that's true, but there's no need to act like you want to repay her with your body, is there?"

"Go to hell!" Lin Jiajia immediately turned around and retorted, her voice both cute and fierce.

She raised her voice and looked at Su Ningning with a pious expression:

"Ningning has been my hero since yesterday! She is my god! She is my second parent!"

From now on, all of you must show Ningning some respect!

Anyone who dares to bully Ningning is bullying me, Lin Jiajia!

Su Ningning, munching on snacks, listened attentively, nodding repeatedly with a look of satisfaction.

The two people next to them exchanged a glance, then covered their faces in unison, unable to bear watching them.

The days of the study tour passed by, and Su Ningning didn't have any other particular preferences; she just carried her camera with her every day.

I wandered around the village with my roommates.

She had no particular method, taking pictures here and there, without caring about composition or lighting, simply recording whatever came to mind, enjoying her freedom.

On a sunny afternoon, the group of them were strolling leisurely along the path at the foot of the mountain.

After turning a corner, I bumped into a group of people.

It was Lin Ze and his group.

The other guys around them chimed in, "Hey, you met your ex-girlfriend?"

"Lin Ze, why aren't you saying anything?"

Su Ningning frowned:

"We agreed long ago that we were just going to give it a try. I tried it and found that I really didn't like you, so I told you directly. I didn't want to hold you back."

A hint of frustration flashed in Lin Ze's eyes: "What's wrong with me? I really like you. I can always be good to you from now on. Can we try again?"

She frowned and backed away, saying, "Stop talking. I really don't like you. I was wrong about what happened before. Can you find someone else to like?"

Su Ningning is now filled with regret, as this is not the first time Lin Ze has approached her.

Every time Lin Ze saw her, he would look mournful, which gave her goosebumps.

She really didn't know that emotional debts were so hard to repay! If she had known, she shouldn't have agreed in the first place.

Seeing this, some onlookers felt indignant, while others made sarcastic remarks.

Especially the boy who wanted Lin Ze to ask Su Ningning to buy a rabbit last time, his eyes were now filled with malice as he looked at Su Ningning:

"Su Ningning, are you playing with him?"

"Did you eat all those snacks and treats from them just because they were rich?"

"She ate almost everything, spent almost all her money, and then dumped him. What a heartless woman!"

Lin Jiajia exploded on the spot when she heard this person making sarcastic remarks to Su Ningning.

He charged straight at them, hands on his hips, and started yelling at them:

"What exactly do you want?! Are you never going to stop?! Didn't I already apologize to you?"

"It's just some cheap snacks! We'll compensate you, okay? We'll pay you back!"

Her face turned bright red with anger, and her voice rose several octaves, as if she were fiercely protecting her child, ready to fight to the death.

Lin Zhixia and Xu Shuyao quickly pulled Lin Jiajia aside, trying to smooth things over:

"Ningning isn't like that. She's just childish and acts on a whim."

"However you suggest to solve it, we'll do it, okay?"
