Who wants to be a male model after being reborn? I want to be a male god.

Chapter 381 For Him, and For Myself

Faced with the farce in front of him, Xu Wen pretended not to see it.

He paddled and smiled as he said, "Go back and study hard. High school will pass by quickly."

Xu Ling also quickly changed the subject. She touched Xu Wen's arm and said, "Don't worry. When the college entrance examination comes, I will definitely do better than you."

After rowing, Xu Linglai asked hurriedly: "What else do we have for today?"

She always felt that something was missing today.

Xu Wen stretched and said, "Of course you go home and I go back to the dormitory. You still have to go to class tomorrow. Don't play outside with your girlfriends too late."

He looked at the time and it was time to go home for dinner.

Although it was his birthday, Xu Wen didn’t feel too much. Today was just like any other day.

Xu Ling did not refute.

She just started to change the subject, she took out a small box from her bag: "I almost forgot, this is the real birthday present!"

Xu Wen opened the box and found a handmade keychain inside with a small photo frame hanging on it, which contained a photo of their family.

"It's not worth much even though my mom and I made it together," Xu Ling said a little embarrassedly.

"I like it very much, thank you." Xu Wen said seriously.

Just as Xu Ling was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking in from not far away.

That tall figure, long black hair, and that unique walking posture.

Xu Ling's body suddenly stiffened. She realized something in an instant and became excited.

It seems that her wait was not in vain. After waiting for a whole day, she finally saw the person.

"What's wrong?" Xu Wen turned and looked in the direction his sister was looking.

Xia Ning was walking towards them step by step.

She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, but she was still so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.

"Sister Ningning?" Xu Ling's voice was almost squeezed out of her throat. She felt her heart beating wildly in her chest.

This is what she wanted to see!
Although she didn't know why her sister Ningning appeared here, it didn't stop her from watching the fun.

Huang Jiaojiao looked at Xu Ling in confusion, then looked at the pretty girl who was walking over, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"

Xu Ling opened her mouth, but didn't know how to answer.

Summer lemon.

My brother's ex-girlfriend.

The girl who once made her brother worried.

Even the parents of both sides meet each other frequently.

Suddenly one day, Xia Ning disappeared for no reason and was gone for more than half a year.

When he came back, he had become a best-selling author.

The last time the two met was at a book signing event, Xu Ling was curious about what happened between Xia Ning and her brother.

"Long time no see, Xu Ling." Xia Ning's voice was still so gentle, and she looked at Xu Ling with a smile.

Then he turned to Huang Jiaojiao and said, "Hello, I'm Xia Ning."

When they got closer, Huang Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly widened.

Not for any other reason, but mainly because she had recognized the identity of the girl in front of her.

"You are the author of 'The Disease is You'! I love your book so much!" she screamed excitedly.

This was even more exciting than when she met the "legendary Teacher Xu".

Xia Ning smiled slightly and took the initiative to extend her hand: "Well, thank you for your love."

After Huang Jiaojiao held that hand, she began to scream non-stop, almost like a war cry.

Seeing this, Xu Ling quickly pushed her best friend down.

She took the initiative to ask: "Sister Ningning, what are you busy with now? We all want to read the new book!"

Xu Ling's previous sentence was to test the current state of Xia Ning and her brother.

The latter sentence was mainly said on behalf of her best friend.

Huang Jiaojiao finally calmed down and agreed, "Yes, I have read The Disease Is Yours several times. I can't read any other books now."

Xia Ning's gaze stayed on Xu Wen's face for a second, then she looked at Xu Ling again: "I haven't thought about the new book yet. I've been busy with academic matters recently. I'm a freshman now."

This sentence stunned the two girls present.

Especially Xu Ling, her eyes were full of disbelief.

But she quickly realized what Xia Ning meant.

It's just a little hard to believe.

"Freshman? Shouldn't you wait? Are you taking a leave of absence?" Xu Ling's eyes widened.

Xia Ning nodded, without a trace of embarrassment or uneasiness on her face: "I had some things to deal with last year, so I applied for a year off. Now that things are resolved, I'm starting over." She said with a smile, her tone very calm.

Xu Wen remained silent, and his expression had returned to normal.

But Xu Ling could feel the tension emanating from her brother.

It's like a rubber band stretched to its limit, ready to break at any moment.

"So you are my brother's junior now?" Xu Ling joked.

She inexplicably found this setting to be quite interesting.

My ex-girlfriend suddenly became my current schoolmate.

Xu Ling knew that it was no coincidence that Xia Ning appeared here. She must have come here specially after making inquiries.

"Well, all the procedures have been completed. I just completed the registration today." Xia Ning admitted frankly.

She looked at Xu Wen: "I saw you at the new student registration area just now, but you seemed busy, so I didn't disturb you."

Xu Wen finally spoke, his voice low and steady: "I'm not very busy. Today I mainly played with these two girls."

This simple sentence made Xu Ling feel something was wrong.

She left so quickly during the book signing event just to give her brother and her sister Ningning some space to be alone together.

I thought they would take that opportunity to resolve all the issues that needed to be resolved.

Why does it seem like we are becoming more and more distant now?

She knew how much her brother once loved Xia Ning (as Xu Ling thought).

He also knew how much harm Xia Ning's sudden departure had caused to her brother (Xu Ling thought).

Now she came back as if nothing had happened and became her brother's junior schoolmate?

what is this?
"Actually, the main reason I came to see you is because I wanted to say 'Happy Birthday' to you in person." Xia Ning took the initiative to say.

Huang Jiaojiao was originally very excited.

But after hearing these words, the expression on his face froze instantly.

Even a fool can tell that this sentence is not simple. The two people in front of him must have some story.

"Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome. You must have a lot of things to do when you come here to report." Xu Wen replied with a smile.

On the surface, the two seemed calm and composed.

Huang Jiaojiao took out her cell phone, typed a line of words on it and handed it to Xu Ling beside her.

The screen reads: "Is your life usually this exciting?"

Xu Ling took the phone and typed a reply: "Do you know why I must stay?"

The two looked at each other and nodded silently.

it is more than words.

Seeing the two of them chatting in a casual manner, Xu Ling knew it was her turn to take action.

Since I have nothing to do tonight, why not invite Sister Ningning to celebrate my brother’s birthday with us?
Just as she was about to speak, Xia Ning suddenly said, "It seems someone is here to see you."

Xu Ling turned around and saw Lan Qiusheng walking towards them, holding a few bottles of mineral water. When Lan Qiusheng saw Xia Ning, he was obviously stunned for a moment and hesitated slightly, but he quickly adjusted his expression and walked over.

"You didn't take any water when you left." Lan Qiu Sheng distributed the water to everyone and finally looked at Xia Ning.

She nodded politely.

Xu Ling keenly noticed that there was a strange atmosphere between the two people.

It was as if neither of them really wanted to see each other.

Some of her guesses had more concrete evidence in her mind.

When did the story between Xu Wen and Lan Qiu Sheng happen?

Xia Ning hasn't been back for so long, how did she know all these things?

Besides, shouldn’t she hate Gu Xingruo more?

Xu Ling felt like she had missed an important plot of an entire TV series.

"Do you know each other?" she couldn't help asking.

"I've seen it before." Xia Ning explained.

Then he said to Lan Qiusheng: "Thank you for taking me to the dormitory."

Lan Qiusheng smiled, but Xu Ling thought the smile was a little forced: "You're welcome. This is my job."

She turned to Xu Wen and said, "Class monitor, Director Li said that the freshman meeting will be held at six o'clock tonight. Not just one class, but all the freshmen from the School of Computer Science will be there."

Xu Wen nodded: "Okay, I understand."

He looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time. I'll take Xu Ling and the others to the dormitory to rest."

"I can take them to continue visiting the campus. I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well take them with me." Xia Ning suddenly suggested.

Xu Ling was particularly happy when she heard this proposal.

She thought her sister Ningning no longer wanted to play with her after breaking up with her brother.

Xu Wen wanted to refuse.

After all, it's getting late now, Xu Ling should go home quickly as she has to go to school tomorrow.

But when I saw her pleading eyes, I finally softened my heart.

"Okay, come with me. Remember to go home early, otherwise mom will worry about you." He reminded.

"Great!" Xu Ling screamed excitedly.

Huang Jiaojiao next to her couldn't hide her excitement either.

In this way, Xu Ling was assigned to Xia Ning.

Of course, this was also her own initiative to stay.

After Xu Wen left, Huang Jiaojiao quickly took out her notebook and asked Xia Ning to sign on it.

She said she wanted to treat the notebook as her own heirloom.

Although reading gossip was interesting, she was more excited to meet two idols in one day.

When Xu Wen and Lan Qiu Sheng left, there were only three of them left in the cafeteria, and Xu Ling knew it was her time to shine.

She has to make up for what she missed.

"Let's go, shall we start from the library?" Xia Ning said easily, as if there had never been any barriers between them.

Walking on the tree-lined path of the campus, Xu Ling asked bluntly: "Sister Ningning, why did you come back suddenly?"

Although it was very impolite to ask this question, it also showed that she had no emotional intelligence.

But Xu Ling knew that this matter must not be beaten around the bush, otherwise he would never get to the bottom of it.

When facing Gu Xingruo, she can pretend, after all, her sister Ruoruo really believes it.

But there is no need to pretend when facing Xia Ning, because her sister Ning Ning can see through her at a glance.

Xia Ning didn't stop, but her profile seemed to soften a little: "Because this is where I should be."

"But you originally..."

"I know what you want to say." Xia Ning interrupted her.

She turned to face Xu Ling with a sincere look in her eyes: "I owe your brother an explanation, and I owe you one, but not now, okay? Today is his birthday, and we shouldn't talk about these heavy topics."

Xu Ling was somewhat helpless, but finally nodded.

She had a lot of questions to ask.

Where have you been in the past six months?

Why did it suddenly disappear?
Do you know how sad my brother is?

But now is definitely not the right time.

"Um. Does Gu Xingruo know?" Xu Ling suddenly thought of another question and blurted out.

Xia Ning's expression changed subtly, but she quickly regained her composure: "She should know. How could she not know?"

She paused and continued, "She will come to school next semester, right?"

Xu Ling looked at Xia Ning in surprise: "How did you know?"

Sister Ruoruo had talked to her about this matter on QQ before.

She replied at that time that she would come to Linda to play with her.

"I guess she likes Xu Wen so much, how could she be willing to be in a long-distance relationship?" Xia Ning smiled, and there was a hint of emotion in that smile that Xu Ling could not understand.

Huang Jiaojiao was confused when she heard this and asked Xu Ling in a low voice: "Who is Gu Xingruo?"

Xu Ling didn't know how to answer, but Xia Ning naturally took over the topic: "Xu Wen's girlfriend, a very good girl."

There was no trace of jealousy or dissatisfaction in her tone, it was as if she was stating a very ordinary fact.

Xu Ling looked at Xia Ning in shock, unable to believe that she could talk about her brother's current girlfriend so calmly.

Is this still the sister Ningning who was once inseparable from her brother?
Is she still the same Sister Ningning who gets jealous and angry over the slightest thing?

"You have changed." Xu Ling said involuntarily.

Xia Ning stopped and said, "Yes, I have changed. Sometimes, people have to go through some things to truly grow up."

Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

They came to the grove behind the library. Xia Ning pointed at the trees and said, "This is where I first confessed my feelings to your brother, but he didn't agree right away. I told him to try being a couple first, and then separate if that doesn't work out."

Xu Ling listened carefully, and she felt like she had filled in a large part of the plot.

Huang Jiaojiao on the side was completely stunned.

"He was wearing a washed-out blue shirt with a little tattered cuffs, but he looked neat and tidy, like a tall poplar tree. I fell in love with him at first sight." Xia Ning's eyes became distant, as if she had traveled back to that summer.

Xu Ling felt a pang of sadness.

She suddenly realized that no matter what had happened, Xia Ning's feelings for her brother were real.

Those memories, those moments, will not disappear with the passage of time or changes in identity.

"Sister Ningning, are you coming back for my brother?" Xu Ling sighed.

Xia Ning did not answer immediately.

She looked up at the clock on the top floor of the library, the sunlight dancing on her eyelashes.

"I came back for myself, but I don't deny that Xu Wen is one of the important reasons why I made this decision." She finally said, turning to Xu Ling and giving her a firm smile.

Huang Jiaojiao exclaimed softly, and Xu Ling felt his heart beating faster.

What does it mean?
Does Xia Ning plan to pursue her brother again?
What about Sister Ruoruo?
What will my brother choose?

"do not think too much."

Xia Ning seemed to see through Xu Ling's thoughts and patted her shoulder gently.

"Some things just need to be left to nature."
