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

Another Spring Festival has arrived, a time for family reunions.

This year, it was Su's father who picked them up again. Shen Xingbai and Su Ningning got into the car together.

Shen Xingbai spent Chinese New Year at the Su family's house again this year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, many relatives came to Su Ningning's house, making it a very lively occasion.

Su Ningning was chatting with her elders while eating snacks when she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Shen Xingbai much today.

She turned her head and looked around, only to find that she was surrounded by a circle of elders and a few brothers. Where were her cousins?

Su Ningning left the living room and went to the balcony, where she found her cousins ​​all surrounding Shen Xingbai, as if Shen Xingbai were their real relative.

"Brother Xingbai, what's Jinghua University like?"

"Hey Xingbai, do you have a girlfriend yet?"

"Starry Sky Bro, you look even better with short hair!"

Several people surrounded Shen Xingbai with bright eyes.

Shen Xingbai, with a perfectly gentle smile on her face, patiently answered everyone's questions.

The tone was gentle.

Su Ningning leaned against the wall, watching the group, a piece of candy in her hand, lost in thought.

The family was eating around the table. After finishing the last bite of rice, Su Su and Ning Ning put down their chopsticks and prepared to go back to their room.

Shen Xingbai frowned and spoke softly:

"Ningning, why did you only eat so little today?"

Upon hearing this, Su's parents looked up abruptly, staring at Shen Xingbai with shock, then at the clean, empty bowl in front of Su Ningning.

"You call that little? You've already eaten two bowls, and they're empty!"

Shen Xingbai quickly explained, his tone full of seriousness:

"But she usually eats three bowls of rice at every meal. Today she only ate two bowls, which is clearly not her normal appetite."

Uncontrollably, Su Ningning's mind flashed back to the image of him on the balcony during the day, smiling gently and speaking softly to his older and younger cousins.

She felt inexplicably choked up and didn't want to say a word to Shen Xingbai for a moment.

He merely raised his eyes slightly and casually uttered a sentence:

"I don't have an appetite today, so I'm going back to my room to play games."

Before Shen Xingbai could say anything more, she went straight back to her room.

The reason why Su Ningning has such a big appetite is largely because she is practicing internal energy cultivation, which consumes far more physical strength than ordinary people.

Sure enough, a few hours later, Su Ningning got hungry.

Today, she didn't even know why she was in a bad mood; she even forgot to take her snacks when she went back to her room.

At this moment, Su Ningning was playing a game while listening to her stomach growling.

Finally, frustrated, he quit the game, ignoring the invincible shouts of "King of Glory".

After a while, Jiang Hao was fully recovered and decided to relentlessly poach talent from Tianchen Esports.

Build a good relationship with Su Ningning.

After several months of hard work, his efforts have begun to bear fruit; at least Su Ningning has become his friend.

Sometimes I team up with him.

They teamed up today, and he noticed that Su Ningning was playing exceptionally aggressively, practically unstoppable.

Jiang Hao looked at the row of densely packed victories and his heart was filled with excitement.

They're even more eager to poach talent.

The door was gently pushed open, and Shen Xingbai walked in carrying a box of freshly made pastries that were still warm.

"Ningning, are you hungry? I brought you this new dish that I learned to make."

Su Ningning, who had been holding back her anger, looked up and saw the plate of exquisite and tempting pastries, and her irritability instantly dissipated.

She reached out, picked up a piece, put it in her mouth, and chewed slowly, her expression softening.

"...Hmm, not bad."

Seeing that she finally smiled a little, Shen Xingbai breathed a sigh of relief and patiently pointed out the other flavors:

"This one is red bean, and this one is milk crisp. Try them both."

Su Ningning ate one piece after another, her mouth filled with the sweet aroma.

The pent-up frustration in my heart was gradually soothed.

After eating most of the food, I relaxed completely and my mood fully recovered.

At this moment, Shen Xingbai sat down in the chair, then moved a little closer to Su Ningning, watching her eat the pastries, and asked seemingly casually:

"You seem to be in a bad mood today... What's wrong? Can you tell me?"

Su Ningning puffed out her cheeks, with half a piece of pastry still in her mouth, and answered while eating.

"I saw you smiling at your cousins, and you were smiling so brightly."

I don't know why, but I just feel really uncomfortable.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xingbai froze.

It felt like something had hit my chest hard.

He stared blankly at the girl in front of him, her cheeks puffed out, looking both angry and aggrieved, yet her straightforwardness was so chilling it made his heart tremble.

The next second, he couldn't help but chuckle softly, not mocking, but bursting with uncontrollable joy and tenderness.

The person he had secretly loved for so long finally revealed a tiny bit of his true feelings, despite his obliviousness.

Seeing him still laughing, Su Ningning's anger flared even more. She glared at him and said, "I'm already unhappy, and you're still laughing!"

Shen Xingbai couldn't resist and gently ruffled her hair, his voice tender: "Then I'll only smile at you from now on, and never smile at them again, okay?"

Su Ningning paused for a moment, thought seriously for two seconds, and nodded emphatically: "Okay."

Shen Xingbai's smile spread wide.

This time, Su Ningning also smiled, her eyes crinkling, looking like she was in a very good mood.

Her smile made Shen Xingbai feel incredibly sweet inside.

That night, Shen Xingbai lay in bed, even in her dreams she had a faint smile on her face, her heart filled with sweetness.

In the following days, Su Ningning discovered that Shen Xingbai indeed kept his word.

She remained polite and smiling towards her elders, but when facing her younger cousins...

Throughout the entire process, he maintained a calm expression, spoke little and remained aloof, without showing the slightest hint of a smile.

Su Ningning saw this and was happy every day.

As the New Year's visits to relatives and friends were drawing to a close, a cousin a year younger than Su Ningning approached her and quietly pulled her aside to ask:

"Ningning, does your distant cousin still not have a girlfriend?"

Su Ningning shook her head without hesitation: "No."

My cousin's eyes lit up, and she looked excited.

"Could you get his WeChat for me? I want to pursue him! He's handsome and outstanding."

He even owns his own company and makes money. Someone this capable would be the envy of everyone if he were a boyfriend.

Su Ningning's face instantly darkened, and she flatly refused, "No way."

My cousin, puzzled, asked, "Why?"

Su Ningning didn't know why, but she suddenly remembered what Shen Xingbai had told her.

He was surrounded by men at school, not a single woman. He threw away all those love letters, never even opening or reading a single one.

Su Ningning thought for a moment and replied:

"He probably doesn't plan to date. At school, he only hangs out with boys and doesn't have a single girl around him. Moreover, he threw away all the love letters that girls sent him."

My cousin's eyes widened immediately, and she blurted out, "Only plays with boys? Throws away girls' love letters?"

Su Ningning nodded. "Yes, that's right."

My cousin's face instantly fell, her joy shattered completely, and she sighed pitifully.

"My life is so hard. I finally fell for someone, but it turned out to be a lesbian."

Sure enough, how could they possibly have a chance with handsome, single guys...?

Su Ningning didn't understand what "same" meant, nor did she comprehend its meaning, but seeing that her cousin had completely given up the idea,

I no longer mention asking for her WeChat or pursuing her; I feel much better now.

In the following days, Su Ningning noticed her cousin whispering and talking to several of her older cousins. Su Ningning heard them, but couldn't understand what they were saying.

Shen Xingbai felt extremely uncomfortable. The way these people were looking at him made him feel like he was being pricked by needles, and he couldn't explain why.

She stopped initiating conversations with him, which made things much easier for him.

Even as soon as he approached, the group would shift their attention and move to another location.

Shen Xingbai was completely confused and privately approached Su Ningning:

"What happened to them?"

Su Ningning shook her head, looking completely innocent—truly innocent, because she didn't understand the reason either.

"I don't know either."

Seeing this, Shen Xingbai stopped paying attention to the matter. After all, since they weren't coming to find him, he was happy to be at ease.

In the second semester of his sophomore year, Shen Xingbai's company started to do well, and he became even busier.

With nothing else to do, Su Ningning went to Shen Xingbai's company.

Shen Xingbai's company is located in an office building, and He Siqi bought an entire floor.

The layout inside is very streamlined, and the office atmosphere is neat and orderly.

Their team, which has only been established for six months, has already achieved considerable practical results.

Although the money earned is not enough to buy this office building, according to He Siqi, it will definitely be enough in another year!

Su Ningning was very impressed after hearing this, since all she knew how to do was spend money, but not how to make it.

However, seeing Shen Xingbai's results, she decided to achieve good results in the provincial competition in September and make a fortune, because she couldn't let Shen Xingbai outdo her.
