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

The warm yellow light fell on him, and he immediately saw Su Ningning curled up on the bed.

The little girl's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were unfocused, and she looked very strange.

He walked quickly to the bedside and reached out to touch her forehead: "What's wrong? Your face is so red, is it too hot in the room?"

Su Ningning seemed startled, and quickly shrank back, shaking her head.

His voice trembled with panic as he stammered, "N-nothing, nothing!"

She gripped her phone tightly, not daring to look Shen Xingbai in the eye, afraid that he would see the panic and unease in her heart.

As Shen Xingbai watched her panicked attempts to dodge and desperately cover up her actions, his originally gentle expression gradually darkened, a hint of disappointment appearing in his eyes, and his tone softened.

"Is there something you can't tell me, something you can't let me know?"

Su Ningning felt a tightness in her chest under his gaze, and gripped her phone even tighter.

She looked up at him directly, her voice slightly stuttering, but as she spoke, it became increasingly assertive:

"Then, what about you? Why do you take a cold shower every night? Is it because... because it's too hot?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xingbai fell silent instantly. His hands, hanging at his sides, tightened slightly, and a hint of panic and embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

He looked up after a long while, his gaze lingering on her flushed cheeks, his voice low and deep: "You really want to know?"

"...Yes." Su Ningning's eyes were still somewhat evasive, but she still forced herself to agree.

Shen Xingbai stared at her shifty eyes, then glanced at the phone she was clutching tightly, and a mocking smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

He slowly leaned closer to her, his voice low and seductive: "Did you just see something you shouldn't have?"

Su Ningning lowered her head in silence and confessed softly:

"Yeah, I did see some... but I found those things disgusting."

Shen Xingbai's heart skipped a beat, and he asked softly:

"Who gave it to you?"

"Hmm... it was sent to me by Lin Jiajia."

Shen Xingbai instantly cursed Lin Jiajia in his mind:

How could someone send such a weird thing to the innocent-minded Su Ningning? Isn't that just setting her up for trouble?

Meanwhile, Lin Jiajia on the other side suddenly sneezed loudly without warning.

Ji Chongyan immediately stopped and frowned, saying, "Isn't it too cold? Let's go back."

As he spoke, he draped his coat over Lin Jiajia's shoulders.

She rubbed her nose and shook her head. "I'm not cold. Let's walk a little longer; it's still early."

After saying that, Lin Jiajia tried to return the coat to Ji Chongyan, but Ji Chongyan insisted on putting it on her.

Lin Jiajia couldn't persuade him otherwise, and the two continued walking forward.

As Lin Jiajia walked, she thought to herself with a smug smile:

That must have been Su Ningning thanking me just now. I'm such a great best friend.

On the other side, Shen Xingbai spoke softly, a seductive glint in his eyes:

"Actually, this is something that makes people feel very comfortable and happy."

Su Ningning immediately turned her face away, her expression full of disbelief, and muttered softly, "You're definitely lying to me."

Seeing her stubborn expression, Shen Xingbai sighed helplessly and gently smoothed the wrinkles between her brows.

"If you don't want to, then forget it."

Su Ningning looked up at Shen Xingbai, whose eyes were gentle, and asked, "So, do you still take cold showers?"

Shen Xingbai fell silent for a moment, then said hoarsely, "This is not something I can control."

Su Ningning remained silent and conflicted for a long while, her fingertips slightly curling, before finally nodding gently.

"Then let's give it a try."

Shen Xingbai stared blankly at the nervous Su Ningning.

"Do you...do you know what you're saying?"

Su Ningning nodded, then frowned and said:

"Of course I know, it's just like that."

Shen Xingbai was somewhat taken aback by this surprise, but her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He slowly approached Su Ningning and whispered, "You can stop anytime you don't want to."

After he finished speaking, he leaned down slightly, so close that their breaths mingled, and his warm breath gently brushed against her cheek.

Su Ningning tensed up instantly, her heart pounding wildly. She instinctively tried to back away, but he gently held her waist.

"Don't be afraid."

His voice was deep and resonant, carrying a comforting strength.

His fingertips gently slid down her hair, his movements patient and tender.

Su Ningning closed her eyes tightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her previously tense body gradually relaxed.

The unease gradually dissipated, replaced by a strange yet soft and warm feeling that spread throughout the body.

Her voice trembled slightly, and she unconsciously moved closer to his embrace.

His palms were warm, resting firmly on her lower back, his touch gentle yet allowing no escape.

Their noses were almost touching, and Su Ningning didn't even dare to breathe too heavily.

Shen Xingbai lowered his eyes to look at her reddened earlobes, his voice low and husky:

"Relax a little, Ningning."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Su Ningning trembled, and all her entanglement, unease, and doubt vanished instantly.

My heart felt like it was filled with warm honey, soft and burning. All the disbelief I had before had now turned into an uncontrollable flutter of excitement.

She tilted her head slightly, responding awkwardly yet obediently, clutching his clothes tightly, her whole body going limp in his arms.

The atmosphere was ambiguous and tender. In the quiet room, only their intertwined breaths and their intense, synchronized heartbeats remained.

However, the intimate interactions that followed exceeded Shen Xingbai's expectations.

At first, Su Ningning was a little reserved and uncomfortable, and she frowned slightly, subconsciously snuggling closer to him.

As they gradually became more familiar with each other, the girl let go of all her unease and shyness, and took the initiative to approach and respond enthusiastically.

In stark contrast to her previous shy demeanor, she became bold and clingy, leaving Shen Xingbai flustered and her heart pounding uncontrollably.

For a moment, they were somewhat overwhelmed.

A night of tender intimacy.

The next morning,

Su Ningning woke up very early, feeling light and comfortable all over, without any fatigue.

She moved closer to Shen Xingbai and gently poked his cheek with her fingertip.

The person slowly opened their eyes, their face still showing weariness, a faint trace of fatigue visible between their brows and eyes.

Looking up at the energetic little girl with bright, sparkling eyes, he sighed helplessly.

"Ningning, sometimes I really doubt if you're even human."

Su Ningning smiled mischievously, snuggling closer to him and rubbing against his neck affectionately.

"It's because someone is too fragile."

Shen Xingbai was both angry and amused. He reached out and pulled her tightly into his arms, then lowered his head and gently bit her lower lip.

Last night, she ended up leading the charge, and I was on the defensive the whole time. I'm still a bit disoriented.

Su Ningning nestled in Shen Xingbai's arms, acting coquettishly and playfully, full of energy, sometimes touching his eyebrows and eyes, sometimes pinching his wrist.

The two lingered in bed for a long time before slowly getting up and going downstairs.

Shen Xingbai prepared a warm and exquisite breakfast for Su Ningning, with rich milk, soft bread, and Su Ningning's favorite desserts.

He continued to slowly and methodically cut the toast, still looking somewhat lazy and tired, occasionally glancing at the little girl across from him who was eating with a satisfied expression.

Su Ningning sipped her milk, her cheeks puffed out like a well-behaved little hamster. After each bite, she looked up and smiled at him.

"Have some too, to replenish your energy."

Shen Xingbai glanced at her helplessly.
