Reborn and awakened, this time I won't be a love-struck fool.

Lin Wu forced a smile. "No."

The boy didn't smile at all. He stared at her intently, his gaze seeming to be investigating or scrutinizing her.

Lin Wu's hands unconsciously clenched into fists. She tried to maintain a smile, and her breathing became shallow.

In the end, Lin Si didn't ask any more questions and left with the trash.

Lin Wu never imagined that this would be the last time she would see Lin Si.

A week later, she received a call from the police and was able to retrieve Lin Si's ashes.

He Wensi carried the bag she wanted.

Lin Wu naturally assumed that Lin Si was love-struck because he sold his kidney to buy He Wensi a bag.

-

Lin Wu had been quiet for too long, and her pupils were somewhat unfocused.

Lin Si frowned, held out a hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "Are you possessed?"

"……No."

Lin Wu came to her senses, her nose tingled, and she held back her tears for a long time before they fell.

"I didn't sleep well," she made up an excuse and hurried into the living room. "I need to go back and catch up on my sleep."

Lin Si watched her retreating figure and felt that she was acting strangely today.

Lin Wu hurriedly returned to her bedroom, squatted on the floor, and tears fell like pearls from a broken string.

How could she have lived such a muddled life in her previous life?

-

He Wensi swiped all the money on her card before she could barely pay the bill.

She took a taxi and cried all the way home. When she finally got home, the strong smell of hot pot wafted out as soon as she opened the door.

Mr. and Mrs. He sat on the sofa, with a hot pot and various kinds of beef and mutton on the coffee table, and a very popular suspense drama playing on the TV in front of them.

The two were eating and laughing when they heard a noise and turned around.

Mother He spoke first: "Oh, Sisi's back."

Mr. He raised his glass and said, "Would you like to have a few bites?"

He Wensi looked at them calmly, but at that moment, her heart felt a little cold.

During the darkest moment of her life, her parents were able to laugh.

"I won't eat it."

She changed her shoes, walked to the TV, picked up the remote control from the table, and turned off the TV under the shocked gazes of her parents.

The room suddenly fell silent.

Mother He licked her shiny lips and said, "Sisi, what are you doing?"

He Wensi's attitude was resolute: "I'll say it once, I'll only pay this month's rent, you can pay next month's rent."

"What?"

Mr. He had just picked up a beef ball and was about to put it in his mouth when he heard this. He lost his grip on his chopsticks, and the beef ball rolled down the ground.

"Sisi, what are you doing?"

Mother He was extremely worried.

The rent for this house is very expensive, costing 12,000 yuan a month excluding utilities. She and her husband are currently unemployed and don't have much savings, so they can't afford the rent.

"I'm only sixteen this year," He Wensi said, her voice rising, her eyes red-rimmed. "You two are now relying on me to support you, have you no shame?"

"What are you saying?"

Mr. He was a typical male chauvinist who couldn't stand anyone disobeying him, especially his wife and daughters.

He slammed his chopsticks on the table and angrily rebuked, "Don't think that just because you've made a little money you can act like you're above everyone else and criticize your elders."

Mother He didn't speak, but looked at He Wensi with disappointment, as if supporting Father He's words.

He Wensi suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation.

Why?

Why are her parents like this?
