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

The three of them chatted all the way and soon exited the school's east gate.

Neon signs lit up one after another, and the air was filled with the aroma of steaming food.

With so many students at the start of the school year, the entrances to almost every shop were packed with people.

Lin Yuanzhou led the two into a small alley and soon saw the "Sichuan Cuisine Courtyard".

Red lanterns hung at the entrance of the shop, and the inside of the glass door was filled with mist.

Even from a distance, you can smell the aroma of hot pot.

Zhao Lin stopped in his tracks, and his expression finally showed a slight change.

"It smells so good..."

Lin Yuanzhou said smugly:

"How could my choice be wrong?"

However, as soon as the three of them reached the door, they saw that the waiting area was already quite full of people.

The shop assistant is calling out numbers from the number plates.

"Number twelve—!"

Lu Xing glanced at the QR code for queuing at the entrance and was about to take out his phone to scan it.

As soon as he raised his hand, Lin Yuanzhou stopped him.

Lu Xing turned back.

Lin Yuanzhou shook his phone at him, and the screen clearly showed the successful reservation.

"I booked it a long time ago."

Lu Xing was taken aback.

Zhao Lin gave a thumbs up.

"powerful."

Lin Yuanzhou instantly felt very pleased and his whole body perked up.

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."

"When traveling, the key is to plan ahead."

Zhao Lin said slowly:

"Didn't you just say you asked this on the spur of the moment?"

Lin Yuanzhou coughed.

"I made an appointment after asking the question."

Lu Xing smiled and put away his phone.

"Reliable."

These words were clearly more effective than Zhao Lin's thumbs-up, and Lin Yuanzhou couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

The three of them quickly bypassed the normal queue and followed the waiter into the store with a priority number.

The store was bustling with noise.

The red oil in the pot bubbled and churned, white steam rose, and the lights were dimmed by the heat.

They were seated at a four-person table by the window.

As soon as Lin Yuanzhou sat down, he skillfully handed the menu to the two of them.

"Order whatever you want."

Zhao Lin took the menu, glanced at it, and then pushed it to Lu Xing.

"You guys order."

"You're not picky?"

"I don't want to choose..."

Lin Yuanzhou clicked his tongue:

"Zhao Lin, can't you be a little more positive about life?"

Zhao Lin leaned back in his chair:

"I'm very proactive!"

Lin Yuanzhou was taken aback for a moment, then asked in confusion:

"Where's the positive aspect?"

Could it be that this guy has put in extraordinary effort in his studies?

That's true. If you didn't have a certain learning ability, how could you have come to Jiangda University?

Just as Lin Yuanzhou was imagining things, Zhao Lin leisurely replied:

"I'm waiting very patiently."

Lin Yuanzhou was speechless.

Lu Xing shook his head and chuckled, then took the menu and ordered some regular dishes.

Beef tripe, duck intestines, beef rolls, fatty beef, shrimp paste, tofu skin, potato slices, enoki mushrooms. (Delicious!)

Lin Yuanzhou added a few more meat dishes and specifically asked Zhao Lin:

"Can you eat spicy food?"

Zhao Lin thought about it.

"Can you eat a little?"

Lin Yuanzhou nodded:

"Then let's order a hot pot with two broths."

A yin-yang hot pot will be a little more expensive than a regular hot pot.

Zhao Lin glanced at him.

"Thanks."

Lin Yuanzhou waved his hand:

"It's nothing, it's nothing~"

Lu Xing noticed this detail and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Before long, the broth and vegetables were served one after another.

The red broth was bubbling and the clear broth was steaming.

Lin Yuanzhou picked up his chopsticks, looking quite energetic:

"Come on, let's have our first get-together on March 317th! Let's start with tripe!"

Zhao Lin leaned his head slightly closer to the hot pot, like a drooling glutton:

"Trips, dip them up and down seven or eight times."

("Seven up and eight down" refers to scalding the tripe in the boiling hot pot seven times and eight times, for a total of about 10-15 seconds.)

Lin Yuanzhou looked at him in surprise:

"You know about this?"

I saw it on a short video platform.

Lu Xing dipped the tripe into the red soup a few times.

The heat hit my face, and the spicy aroma instantly filled my nostrils.

He suddenly felt a little dazed.

After graduating in his previous life, he also ate hot pot with his colleagues many times.

Some were for social engagements, others for team building activities.

It was lively, but it felt like something was missing.

At this moment, I am sitting in a small hot pot restaurant near Jiangda University.

My roommates, whom I've only recently met, are beside me, and outside the window are the bustling streets of the university town.

Everything was simple and almost ordinary...

Yet it seems all the more precious.

Lin Yuanzhou was pouring a plate of fatty beef into the pot.

Just then, he suddenly stopped, his gaze passing over Lu Xing and Zhao Lin, and looking towards the shop entrance.

Then, he raised an eyebrow.

"Why."

Lu Xing looked up.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yuanzhou lowered his voice and laughed in a somewhat meaningful way.

"Watch the door."

As he spoke, he discreetly pointed in that direction with his chopsticks.

"A group of girls arrived, and they're incredibly beautiful!"

Zhao Lin, who was staring at the beef in the pot, also raised his eyelids to take a look when he heard this.

Hehe, only a fool wouldn't look at a beautiful woman.

Lu Xing smiled helplessly, not taking it too seriously at first.

But after a few seconds, his curiosity got the better of him, and he turned his head in the direction Lin Yuanzhou pointed.

Four girls entered the store.

One of the girls was standing at the back, her long, soft hair falling smoothly over her shoulders.

The warm lighting of the hot pot restaurant fell on her profile, softening her cool and beautiful features.

She seemed to have just finished speaking with her companion, and slightly raised her head.

Then, Lu Xing's gaze met her eyes.

For a moment, both of them were stunned.

It's very noisy in the store.

The sounds of the pot boiling, the laughter of the crowd, and the waiters announcing the dishes mingled together.

But Lu Xing seemed to suddenly lose his hearing.

He looked at the girl, and that brief sense of familiarity surged up again without warning.

The girl stared at him blankly.

Her eyes are beautiful.

Clear and quiet, yet at this moment, it hides a complex emotion.

A few seconds later, Lu Xing was the first to come to his senses.

He looked away and turned back.

At almost the same time, the girl also opened her eyes wide.

Lin Yuanzhou, however, keenly sensed something.

"Why?"

He glanced at Lu Xing, then at the doorway, lowering his voice even further.

"You two know each other?"

Lu Xing picked up his water glass and took a sip.

"I don't know him."

"If you don't know each other, why were you staring at each other for so long?"

"……coincide."

Zhao Lin picked up the freshly cooked beef and put it into his bowl, calmly commenting:

"That coincidence happened a long time ago."

Lu Xing: "..."

He didn't know how to explain it.

Could it be that my memories have become distorted after being reborn?

the other side.

Shen Qingyi sat down with her roommate at a spot not far away.

The girls around me were still enthusiastically discussing the broth and dipping sauce.

"Qingyi, do you eat spicy food?"

Someone asked her.

Shen Qingyi didn't hear it; her fingers gently gripped the bag strap, her fingertips turning slightly white.

"Qingyi?"

"Um?"

Shen Qingyi came back to her senses and said softly:

"Ah, mildly spicy is fine."

She lowered her head, her eyelashes trembled slightly, but her heartbeat just wouldn't calm down.

How did I end up meeting him here?

I actually ran into him!

at last……

I met him.

It is by land.

Lu Xing is eighteen years old... and has just enrolled in school.
