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

"Sister, what brings you here?" Fu Jingyan asked, somewhat surprised.

Fu Xiyan said casually, "I was just discussing business nearby and stopped by to see your very capable friend whom you often mention."

She actually came here specifically because she thought Fu Jingyan was too naive and she was afraid her younger brother would be deceived.

So I came to see for myself, and unexpectedly, he was here too.

After Fu Xiyan answered Fu Jingyan's question,

He looked up and glanced at the three people in front of him, and when he saw Zhang Tianyu, he clearly paused.

Zhang Tianyu was stunned the moment Fu Xiyan walked in.

He really didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

He finally mustered up the courage to pursue someone, only to find out that the person was Fu Jingyan's sister!

His heart began to pound out of control, and the tips of his ears turned red at a visible speed.

Immediately afterwards, her cheeks turned bright red, and the burning heat spread from her cheeks to her ears.

This happened just a few days ago.

That day, he went to buy milk tea. Just as he reached the entrance of the milk tea shop, he bumped into Fu Xiyan standing by the roadside. Sunlight fell on her.

He was just standing there casually, yet he was exceptionally dazzling. At that moment, he was completely captivated, feeling that the person in front of him was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off him.

On a whim, he mustered up his courage and approached her, asking for her contact information.

He thought he would be rejected, but to his surprise, she not only gave it to him readily, but also smiled at him.

He laughed so hard he was completely stunned; he didn't even realize when the other person left.

After that, he would often share his daily life and funny stories with the other person through the screen.

Fu Xiyan would reply and chat with him for a few words.

Sometimes he might reply a little late, but what does it matter! As long as he's willing to reply, Zhang Tianyu is satisfied.

Most recently, the other party accepted his invitation, and the two had a meal together and went for a walk.

Zhang Tianyu gets a racing heart and becomes so nervous that he can't speak when he sees people.

There hasn't been any further progress between the two of them.

Even so, Zhang Tiantian felt that his love was just around the corner!!

Zhang Tianyu was still immersed in his love.

Shen Xingbai, who was on the other end, had already extended her hand first. "Miss Fu, hello, I am Shen Xingbai, Fu Jingyan's good friend."

Fu Xiyan reached out and gently shook his hand.

"Hello, I'm Fu Jingyan's sister. Jingyan has already told me about the collaboration."

My assistant will send you the detailed plan later. Please review it as soon as possible. If there are no problems,

The contract can be signed next week.

Shen Xingbai nodded: "Okay, I hope we can cooperate smoothly."

Fu Xiyan nodded. Having been in the business world for many years, she had long since developed a keen eye for talent. After only a short time with Shen Xingbai, she could tell that he was a trustworthy person.

Her brother was probably not taken advantage of.

Shen Xingbai and the others thought that was the end of it and planned to see Fu Xiyan off.

Unexpectedly, Fu Xiyan walked straight up to Zhang Tianyu, who was standing there dumbfounded, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.

She spoke softly, "What a coincidence, Tianyu, you're here too?"

That familiar "Tianyu" instantly pulled Zhang Tianyu back to reality. He clenched his fists.

Her fingertips trembled slightly, her lips quivered several times, and she stammered, "Yes, yes...what a coincidence..."

Fu Xiyan took in his entire reaction, noticing his flushed ears and flustered appearance.

A faint smile unconsciously spread across his eyes.

Fu Xiyan looked at Fu Jingyan with a questioning look in her eyes. Fu Jingyan said, "This is my roommate, and also my good friend."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiyan's eyes flashed with surprise, clearly not expecting such a coincidence.

She reached out her hand to Zhang Tianyu.

"I see. I'll have to trouble you to take care of my brother from now on, Tianyu. He's aloof and not very good at getting along with people."

Thank you for taking care of him so much.

Zhang Tianyu's heart pounded even faster, and his palms instantly became sweaty with nervousness.

He awkwardly reached out and gently grasped Fu Xiyan's slightly cool fingertips; it was just a brief touch.

But it made him even more careful with his breathing.

Fu Xiyan looked at him, his fingertips clenched and his cheeks flushed with nervousness, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

She gently withdrew her hand, her tone still composed: "I have other things to take care of. You can continue; I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, she nodded slightly to the group, turned around and walked away, her neat figure gradually disappearing at the gym entrance.

Zhang Tianyu stood there, his gaze fixed on her retreating figure, his eyes filled with undisguised infatuation.

She didn't even notice Fu Jingyan walking up to her; her mind and eyes were still fixed on the moment she had just touched Fu Xiyan.

Even his breathing still carried the tremor from before.

Until Fu Jingyan's cold voice suddenly rang in his ear, directly piercing through his thoughts:

"You like my sister?"

Zhang Tianyu snapped back to his senses, nodded instinctively, and then, realizing what he meant, blushed and stammered, "Um...no, is that not allowed?"

He looked up at Fu Jingyan, a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

But Fu Jingyan's next words were like a bucket of ice water poured over him: "You should give up. My sister has a fiancé."

In an instant, the light in Zhang Tianyu's eyes went out, his heart sank to the bottom of a valley, feeling cold and drained of all his strength.

His shoulders slumped, his head bowed, and he looked utterly dejected, like a lonely, rain-soaked puppy.

Her eyes and brows were filled with unconcealed sadness, making her look exceptionally pitiful.

Seeing his distraught state, Fu Jingyan finally steeled his heart, not wanting him to be hurt even more severely in the future.

"My sister has always been strong-willed, and she puts all her energy into her career. She once said that she doesn't need love."

She and her fiancé are in a business marriage, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will be getting married next year.

Each word struck Zhang Tianyu's heart clearly; his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched slightly, and his nose tingled with a slight soreness.

When she looked up, her eyes were already slightly red, and she responded softly in a hoarse voice, "...Oh, I see."

He lost all interest in exercising; his heart was filled with bitterness, the joy that had just begun to stir within him.

I was instantly overwhelmed by this cruel reality, feeling suffocated and filled with nothing but sadness.

After leaving the gym, Zhang Tianyu was completely dejected and returned to his office in a daze.

He slumped in his office chair, his mind replaying Fu Jingyan's words over and over again.

No need for love, marriage next year, and Fu Xiyan's smiling eyes.

He raised his hand, numbly pulled out his phone, and tapped WeChat with trembling fingertips. He immediately saw Fu Xiyan's chat box at the top of his chat list.

Even though they were so nervous in person that they stuttered and couldn't utter a complete sentence, when they were separated by a screen and couldn't see each other,

He was exceptionally talkative and always had something to say, and Fu Xiyan would often patiently reply.

At that time, he was secretly delighted, feeling that he had crossed paths with the dazzling her, and even harbored unrealistic hopes.

But now, all those illusions have been shattered.

He gave a self-deprecating laugh, his eyes filled with bitterness.

He finally realized that this relationship, which was doomed from the beginning, was nothing but wishful thinking on his part.

Someone like Fu Xiyan is surrounded by people who are her equals; how could she possibly be interested in her?

My previous gentleness towards him and compliments on his cuteness were just casual teasing; I was just playing around with him because I found him amusing for a moment.

They were from two different worlds: one was radiant and brilliant, the other ordinary and unremarkable.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianyu closed his eyes tightly, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, his eyes filled with suppressed bitterness.

His fingertip hovered over the phone screen. After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally steeled himself and tapped into his friend's profile.

Without hesitation, I pressed the delete friend button.

As the page redirected, the chat box disappeared completely, and the contact who had once filled him with joy would never appear in his contact list again.

He put down his phone, leaned back in his office chair, and slumped down, his shoulders drooping limply.

I was enveloped in a deep sadness, like a small animal whose energy had been completely drained, sitting motionless.

Let the bitterness in my heart spread unchecked, and all traces of the past vibrancy are gone.
