Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

Lu Xing leaned against the window, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the windowsill.

"And...what happened next?"

"What happened to Ningning after she went to university?"

Shen Qingyi's tone softened upon hearing the question.

"After entering university, Ningning learned to draw on her own."

"I met a planner who appreciated her art style, and that's how I became an illustrator."

Lu Xing was stunned when he heard this.

He knew that Ningning had taught herself to draw.

Or rather, Lu Xing had already made up his mind as early as when he first returned in this life.

As long as Lu Ningning really wants to pursue a career in art, he will definitely help her as much as possible.

To prevent her from having to figure things out on her own, just like in her previous life.

but……

"...An illustrator?"

Lu Xing asked a question subconsciously.

Shen Qingyi switched the phone to the other ear and continued speaking:

"Yes, they provided design illustrations for quite a few games and website events."

"That's pretty impressive. They've made a lot of money and are always looking for delicious food to eat."

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.

Speaking of food, Lu Ningning often came over to freeload meals later on.

She always calls me "sister-in-law," and her words are incredibly sweet.

Lu Xing was silent for a moment, then pressed on with his question:

"Did she become an illustrator after graduating from university?"

Shen Qingyi nodded.

"Yeah, back then, we hadn't been together long..."

At this point, Shen Qingyi suddenly paused.

She felt like something was off.

Why are you asking this?

Lu Xing frowned, but quickly changed the subject.

"No, I was just curious."

He smiled.

"Wow, she's that amazing..."

"I'll take pity on her and bring her breakfast tomorrow."

Shen Qingyi smiled.

"So what are you planning to do tomorrow?"

Lu Xing thought for a moment.

"We need to set up the computer first; there are quite a few things to take care of."

"I need to take a look at the tools; there's been a lot of feedback since the holiday started."

Shen Qingyi's voice softened a little.

"Even when you're home for vacation, you're still so busy..."

"fine."

Lu Xing smiled.

"You can't just lie in bed all day, can you?"

"Besides, the sooner I finish things, the more time I'll have to think about you."

There was a noticeable silence on the other end of the phone.

After two seconds, Shen Qingyi whispered:

"Then you need to think about it more."

Lu Xing's expression softened immediately.

"Yes, ma'am."

The two chatted for a while longer.

As the conversation progressed, Shen Qingyi's voice became somewhat sleepy.

Lu Xing glanced at the time and said softly:

"Go to sleep, it's late."

"Good night."

Shen Qingyi responded softly.

"Okay, goodnight."

After the phone call ended, the room fell silent again.

Lu Xing put down his phone, but did not immediately lie back down on the bed.

He looked out the window and fell into a daze.

The South River is very quiet at night.

Unlike Jiangcheng, where there is a lot of traffic noise even late at night.

The quiet here is like a thin layer of frost covering the street outside the window.

But Lu Xing's mind was far from calm.

Shen Qingyi's words echoed repeatedly in his mind.

Illustrator...

He knew that the person had taught himself to draw.

But Lu Ningning later became an illustrator?

impossible……

Lu Xing slowly lowered his head.

He remembered that he was still at his workstation at the company before he was reborn.

I remember the projects, the code, the overtime, and the lights in the office late into the night.

But what about after that?

Where does he live?

Who's around you?

What happened to Ningning later?

How are your parents' health?

These details, which should be rooted in life, seem to be covered by a thick fog.

Lu Xing's fingers tightened slightly.

He looked at the dim night, his Adam's apple bobbing.

"I……"

"Did he really only live for twenty-seven years?"

……

Lu Ningning couldn't sleep.

Snacking isn't satisfying, scrolling on my phone isn't satisfying, and even lying down isn't satisfying.

She turned over, hugged the plush dog in her arms, and fell into deep thought.

Lu Ningning was quite certain that her brother was definitely not the type of person who would be a fan of celebrities.

I've never seen him set any celebrity's photo as his wallpaper.

Even if he sets a wallpaper, he'll probably just pick a landscape that looks good and call it a day.

it's wired.

Moreover, she had watched all the female celebrities who debuted in the past year.

There's no girl in the phone at all!

Lu Ningning felt increasingly uneasy.

Lu Xing said that was a newly debuted star.

But which celebrity debuts without leaving any trace online?

Besides...

That photo doesn't look like a celebrity's promotional photo.

So natural...

It looks as natural as a casual snapshot taken in everyday life.

Lu Ningning suddenly sat up in bed.

and many more……

Lu Ningning suddenly understood and immediately opened the Jiangcheng University forum, starting to search inside.

She didn't search for long before she found a post.

[This year's freshmen in the School of Foreign Languages ​​are just too outrageous! Are these looks even real?]

Lu Ningning clicked on it.

When the first photo in the post popped up, she froze instantly.

It's her!

The girl in my phone wallpaper!

The photo was probably taken secretly by someone...

The girl was wearing a simple white top, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her profile was so clean and beautiful it was unbelievable.

The comments below have already been posted hundreds of times.

Holy crap, she's a real school beauty...

[Shen Qingyi from the School of Foreign Languages, that's enough. Don't ask anymore. She's already taken.]

[Already taken? Who is it?]

[Where did this caveman come from? Of course, it's Lu Xing from the Computer Science Department!]

Lu Ningning's eyes widened little by little.

Land, land travel?

Her brother?

Lu Ningning slowly opened her mouth.

My bro's really in a relationship!

And his girlfriend is the campus belle of Jiangnan University?

Before she could even finish being shocked, she swiped the screen a few times and saw several more posts.

There are posts discussing previous programming competitions, and the comments below are still going on about the details of the rankings.

However, some posts were noticeably less friendly in tone.

What exactly happened between Lu Xing and Shen Qingyi?

Have those previous rumors been reversed?

Yes, it seems the person who spread the rumors has been dealt with; it caused quite a stir.

This brings us to the incredible rebirth of our court...

Lu Ningning became increasingly alarmed as she looked at the document.

Some people have cursed him and even tried to sabotage his own brother.

Despite all that had happened in just one semester, he never mentioned it once he got home.

You can't see even a hint of grievance or sadness in them.

Lu Ningning sat blankly on the bed, hugging her dog plush toy.

After a long while, she slowly exhaled.

"Shen Qingyi..."

She whispered the name to herself.

The sky outside the window was still pitch black, but Lu Ningning barely slept that night.

……

the next morning.

Thanks to his biological clock, Lu Xing got out of bed early in the morning.

Even if I wanted to sleep a little longer, it would be difficult to fall asleep again.

He stretched out with an incredibly long yawn and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Is it because I'm still young enough?"

Lu Xing muttered to himself as he tidied the bed, lest his mother see it and say it was messy again.

When he stepped out of the room, he found a small group of figures already sitting in the living room.

"Holy crap?!"

Lu Xing was startled.

Upon closer inspection, Lu Ningning was curled up on the sofa, her eyes listless and covered in dark circles.

She was wearing a large coat and holding a dog plush toy in her arms.

"Lu Ningning?"

Hearing the call, Lu Ningning slowly raised her head to look at him.

"elder brother……"

Lu Xing realized something was wrong and quickly sat down next to her.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"Did you steal batteries last night?"

Lu Ningning pouted and suddenly hugged Lu Xing.

This shocked the land for a hundred years.

Holy crap, what's going on?

Don't you usually start bickering the moment you meet?

Why did you suddenly switch to a sentimental approach today?

"Brother, why aren't you saying anything?"

Lu Xing was taken aback.

After realizing what had happened, he hugged Lu Ningning and patted her back gently.

"No... what happened?"

A few seconds later, Lu Ningning began to sob.

"Bro...is college really that scary?"

???

Three question marks immediately appeared above Lu Xing's head.

"Why is university so scary?"

"Oh dear, why are you crying..."

Lu Xing sighed and turned to pull a few sheets of paper from the coffee table.

"Tsk tsk, hurry up and wipe it off, don't get my snot all over you."
