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

Yu Anxia looked at Su Ningning as if she were an alien:

"How could you say such cold words with that 36-degree mouth? It's a miracle Shen Xingbai didn't beat you up for what you said. If it were me, I would have wanted to pin you to the ground and beat you up."

Su Ningning looked puzzled: "Why?"

"Don't you know?"

Yu Anxia lowered her voice.

"Shen Xingbai's family is extremely poor. It's not that he wants to eat these things; it's that he doesn't have the money to buy anything else to eat, so he can only eat those things. Snacks are out of the question; sometimes he doesn't even have enough to eat for a meal."

I saw him last time; he just got a bowl of plain white rice and some free soup, and that was it.

"And you even brought up his mother's matter, aren't you just rubbing salt into his wounds?"

I was in the same class as him in elementary school, and he often came to school with injuries.

I heard his father had a history of domestic violence and used to beat him. It's only now that he's grown up and taller that he's stopped hitting him so often.

His mother didn't like him either, and her attitude towards him was always very bad. She even considered not letting him go to junior high school. It was only after the police officer explained the nine-year compulsory education system to him that he was able to attend.

Shen Xingbai was able to study smoothly.

What you said hit him where it hurt; how could he not curse at you?

Su Ningning suddenly felt guilty and started stammering:

"I...I really didn't know...I thought those were some kind of secret technique,"

I thought everyone could eat their fill these days... I... I really didn't know.

Yu Anxia understood Su Ningning's personality and sighed:

"Then be more careful in the future, and don't rub salt into his wounds again."

Su Ningning's face fell:

"There's no future for him. He'll definitely avoid me from now on. Sigh... maybe I should go and apologize to him."

Yu Anxia quickly advised:

"Forget it, just don't bother him anymore. He doesn't like talking to us anyway, he only likes studying."

But Su Ningning really couldn't get over it:

"No, I still have to apologize to him."

The next day at lunchtime, as soon as Shen Xingbai sat down, Su Ningning placed a plate of food in front of him.

It had both meat and vegetables, which was Su Ningning's favorite dish, and she thought Shen Xingbai would definitely like it too.

Then he took his own portion and sat down opposite Shen Xingbai, who immediately tensed up.

Su Ningning apologized softly:

"I'm sorry, I was wrong yesterday. I didn't know that what I said would hurt people. I'm not good at speaking..."

I'm so sorry. I got you some food, and I can buy you nice things to eat next time as compensation.

She had experienced how painful it was to be hungry, and the thought of Shen Xingbai sometimes not even having enough to eat made her feel sorry for him.

She immediately thought of buying food as an apology gift.

Seeing her actions and meeting her sympathetic gaze, Shen Xingbai's face darkened, and he coldly spoke:

"I don't need your pity."

Su Ningning quickly said:

"Okay, okay, I won't pity you. I'll share it with you, alright?"

Shen Xingbai frowned: "No need, you can eat it yourself."

"I really can't finish all of this, so please help me with some so we don't waste it."

Shen Xingbai's attitude was firm:

"Need not."

After saying that, he quickly finished his meal, turned around, and left.

Su Ningning looked at the two full dishes on the table and forced herself to finish them all, because she really didn't have the bad habit of wasting food.

After that, she went to the playground and walked more than ten laps before returning to the classroom after her stomach had digested a little.

As soon as he entered, he bumped into Shen Xingbai going out to fetch water.

Su Ningning gave her a resentful look, while Shen Xingbai, completely bewildered, brushed past her with a puzzled expression.

The apology didn't work, and Su Ningning still felt a little guilty. She thought that since he wouldn't eat the food she had prepared, she could at least buy some of her favorite snacks and send them to him.

She went to the small shop and picked out a lot of chocolates and potato chips, stuffing them all into Shen Xingbai's drawer.

The next day, when Shen Xingbai arrived at the classroom, he was stunned when he opened his drawer. The drawer was full of snacks, which spilled all over the floor.

The surrounding classmates immediately looked over, all of them with shocked expressions.

Zhang Yuchuan, who lived in the same neighborhood and had known him since childhood, immediately spoke up:

"Shen Xingbai, where did you get all these snacks?"

Could it be that he stole someone's money, or even just their belongings?

"If you really want to eat it, just tell me, and I can buy it for you. Stealing is wrong."

Shen Xingbai's face instantly turned cold.

"I didn't steal it."

Zhang Yuchuan looked unconvinced and sneered:

"You didn't steal? Where did you get the money to buy snacks? Don't tell me it was your gambling dad who gave them to you."

Or was it given to you by your mother who can't even support herself?

Your family sometimes can't even afford to eat, how could you possibly have money to buy you snacks?

"Tell me then, where did these things come from?"

Shen Xingbai exuded a chilling aura as he spoke, each word distinct and clear:

I didn't steal it.

Zhang Yuchuan scoffed dismissively.

Shen Xingbai clenched his fists tightly, and the classmates around him looked at him with strange eyes. Only now did they realize that the top student's family was in such a situation.

Seeing this, the squad leader quickly stepped forward to smooth things over:

"Maybe...it was given to Shen Xingbai by someone else?"

"Give it to him? Who would give food to a poor wretch? You guys are too good at making excuses for him, he must have stolen it!" Zhang Yuchuan said dismissively.

Shen Xingbai's face was extremely ugly.

The situation suddenly became tense.

More and more people entered the classroom. As soon as they entered, they saw the snacks scattered on the floor and the tense situation, and they all gathered around to inquire about the situation.

After learning the whole story, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Xingbai with a strange look, and whispers rippled through the room.

Just then, Su Ningning rushed in; she almost missed her deadline!

Upon hearing the details, her heart skipped a beat. She realized she'd forgotten to tell Shen Xingbai about it. She secretly glanced at Shen Xingbai's expression.

Very good, it's incredibly dark.

She quickly walked to the front of the class and explained to everyone:

"These snacks were all a gift from me!"

She glared at everyone:

"Shen Xingbai is such a good person, and his grades are top-notch, how could he possibly do such a thing? You guys are really overthinking things!"

Zhang Yuchuan's face stiffened, and he immediately retorted:

"Don't lie to please him! Even if he gets good grades, you can't just cover for him like this, can you? Why are you giving him food for no reason?"

Su Ningning was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Yuchuan immediately revealed a "I knew it" expression and sneered:

"See? I knew you were trying to get him off the hook!"

"I didn't! It's true!"

Su Ningning said urgently,

"I was wrong before; I hurt him with my words. This is what I'm offering to apologize to him for! You're not very good at studying, but you're quite adept at framing people!"

Zhang Yuchuan instantly became enraged:

"Su Ningning, how dare you talk like that!"

"That's what I say!" Su Ningning wouldn't back down an inch.

"Don't think I don't know. You secretly took Anxia's pen last time and haven't returned it yet! Isn't that stealing? Just because you're used to being a thief doesn't mean everyone else is like you!"

She continued:

"And another thing, you borrowed two erasers from the class monitor and haven't returned them, and you also borrowed the English class representative's notebook and haven't returned it either! With your own character like that, how dare you criticize others? Judging others by your own standards, how despicable!"

Zhang Yuchuan blushed with embarrassment and trembled with anger. He immediately took a step forward and raised his hand to hit Su Ningning.

Su Ningning raised an eyebrow at him: "Oh, you want to hit someone?"

She was about to step forward and teach Zhang Yuchuan a lesson when, before she could even take a step, Shen Xingbai had already blocked her way.

He looked coldly at Zhang Yuchuan:

"You want to beat up a female classmate? Zhang Yuchuan, not only are you distorting the truth, but you're also going to hit her. I'll tell the teacher later."

Zhang Yuchuan's face instantly turned ashen. He clenched his fist tightly, but ultimately lowered it unwillingly and slunk back to his seat.

Just then, the teacher walked into the classroom, and morning reading began.

Su Ningning looked at the boy blocking her way, leaned closer, and whispered:

"I'm sorry, I forgot to leave you a note or something yesterday. I really didn't know it would cause you so much trouble."

I just saw that you wouldn't eat the food I brought, so I thought you could at least eat some snacks... If you eat a little every day, you won't go hungry.

I know how painful it is to be hungry. I've been hungry before, and I'm terrified of that feeling.

Shen Xingbai was slightly taken aback.

If someone else had said that to him, he would probably have felt embarrassed, inferior, or even ashamed.

But Su Ningning's tone was straightforward and sincere, not like sympathy, but more like heartfelt words.

He paused for a moment, then nodded slightly:

"Thank you. But you don't need to apologize anymore. That matter... you weren't wrong, it was the truth."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his seat to begin his morning reading.

Looking at his retreating figure, Su Ningning felt even more uneasy.
