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

In the evening, Lu Xing returned to his dormitory after finishing his classes.

Pushing open the dormitory door, I found it bustling with activity inside.

Lin Yuanzhou was bragging to Zhao Lin about something, while Zhao Lin, as always, slumped in his chair, responding listlessly.

Zhou Lian sat quietly to the side, organizing something that looked like courseware.

Lu Xing put his schoolbag on the table, pulled out a chair and sat down, rubbing his slightly sore neck.

He glanced at the time on his phone and suddenly realized it was time to call home.

Although he called his mother on the first day of school.

But ever since then I've been busy with... all sorts of things.

It's been almost a month since I last contacted my family.

Thinking of this, Lu Xing couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

He stood up, walked to the balcony, and casually pulled the glass door shut, shutting out the noise from the dormitory.

Lu Xing took out his phone, found the number saved as "Mom," and dialed it.

The phone rang with a regular dial tone, and after a few rings, the call was answered.

"Xiao Xing?"

Liu Chunmei's familiar voice came through the receiver, and the sound of a television could be faintly heard in the background.

"Mom, it's me."

Lu Xing leaned against the balcony railing, his voice unconsciously softening.

"Finally decided to call home?"

Although Liu Chunmei complained, the joy in her voice was undeniable:

"How's school? Are you settling in well?"

"Will you be able to get used to the food in Jiangcheng?"

Faced with his mother's barrage of questions, Lu Xing felt a warmth in his heart and patiently answered:

"Everything is fine. The dormitory environment is also very good, and the roommates usually take good care of each other, so you can rest assured."

"That's good."

Liu Chunmei breathed a sigh of relief and then said:

"It's important to get along well with your roommates. You're a bit of a quiet person, so you need to talk to people more."

Lu Xing's parents have always been quite open-minded and don't interfere too much in his affairs.

After all, most of his energy was focused on Lu Ningning.

"Now that you're in university, neither the school nor the teachers restrict you from dating."

"If you meet a girl you like, you can try talking to her."

"However..."

Liu Chunmei's tone suddenly changed, becoming exceptionally serious:

You'd better keep your eyes wide open.

"When looking for a girlfriend, don't just look at how good-looking she is."

"Most importantly, you need to get to know the person's personality and character."

"I read those news articles on my phone. These days, so many people get scammed out of money and their feelings when they're in a relationship."

The girl's smiling face appeared in Lu Xing's mind, and he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

Did Shen Qingyi cheat him out of money?

How is that possible?

Lu Xing knew very well that the girl exuded good upbringing and excellent material conditions.

Whether it's the clothes she's wearing or the bag she usually carries...

Although both opted for a low-key and understated design, the brand logos were subtly visible, so Lu Xing wasn't completely blind to them.

Even before they officially established their relationship, Lu Xing had secretly searched online for the brands she wore out of curiosity.

The prices he found out at the time really made him gasp.

Thinking of this, Lu Xing sighed softly.

He snapped out of his thoughts and said to Liu Chunmei on the other end of the phone:

"Mom, I know what I'm doing and I'll be careful."

To completely reassure Liu Chunmei, Lu Xing proactively changed the subject:

"Besides, there's a computer competition at our school recently, and I'm preparing to participate."

"I'll probably be quite busy during this period, and I won't be in the mood for dating for the time being."

After saying this, Lu Xing touched his nose.

In fact, he spent almost the entire day with Shen Qingyi, except for class time.

Liu Chunmei clearly didn't know much about the competition.

"A computer competition? That requires computers, right?"

Liu Chunmei asked in confusion:

"Xiao Xing, should we buy one?"

How much do computers cost these days?

Lu Xing was well aware of the situation at home.

Lu Ningning is currently in junior high school. If she wants to study art in the future, it will be a huge expense.

So Lu Xing quickly comforted him:

"Mom, it's okay, you don't need to buy it."

"I can go to an internet cafe to take care of this first."

"I'll buy one once I find some part-time work and save enough money."

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

It seems that autumn has arrived, and even the wind on the balcony has become a bit colder.

After a long while, Liu Chunmei finally let out a soft sigh.

"If you don't have enough money, remember to call us, okay?"

Lu Xing pursed his lips and whispered his agreement:

"Okay, I understand, Mom."

"Okay, then I won't say any more. Get some rest and don't overwork yourself at school."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xing stood on the balcony for a while longer.

Looking at the night view of Jiangcheng University, he took a deep breath of the slightly cool air.

Only then did he open the glass door and return to his dormitory.

------

It was late at night, and the lights in the dormitory were already off.

Lu Xing lay on the bed with his hands behind his head, looking at the somewhat blurry ceiling above him.

He had some difficulty falling asleep.

Recalling his conversation with Liu Chunmei, a sense of urgency and helplessness crept into his heart.

He's like a penniless scholar who's somehow gotten involved with a rich young lady.

If all you do is participate in some competitions, win some small prizes, and then follow the usual path until graduation, and then find a job and develop your career...

This time span is far too long.

Besides the pressures of reality, Shen Qingyi's unique qualities also threw his thoughts into a tangled mess.

There are just too many things I don't understand.

From their first meeting at a hot pot restaurant on the first day of school, to her inexplicably knowing my tastes...

All of this exudes an indescribable sense of eeriness and incongruity.

However, whenever he tries to probe something, she easily defuses it with playful words or intimate gestures.

Lu Xing closed his eyes in frustration.

Tsk.

What if those things were just coincidences?

What if Shen Qingyi doesn't actually possess any special power at all...?

Is it just because he himself is a reincarnated person that he is suspicious and thinks everyone else is special?

If that's the case, then if he goes to question her, Shen Qingyi will definitely think he's out of his mind.

Nobody wants their boyfriend to be mentally ill, right?

The thought that Shen Qingyi might leave him made Lu Xing's heart clench.

An indescribable, aching pain instantly spread from the center of his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

What happened?

Am I really that afraid of losing her?

"well……"

Lu Xing sighed softly in the darkness.

He turned over and buried his face in the pillow.

At this moment, exhaustion finally triumphed over my chaotic thoughts.

Sleepiness surged up like a tide, gradually engulfing his consciousness.

Lu Xing closed his eyes, his breathing gradually became even and long, and he finally slowly fell asleep...
