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

Seeing Lu Xing's shocked and complex expression, Lin Yuanzhou added:

"Of course! Zhou Lian definitely didn't mean that..."

"He wasn't just making baseless accusations."

"Since those people have done such things, they should at least try to categorize it as defamation, infringement, or damage to reputation."

Lu Xing nodded slowly.

"I understand."

Of course he understood.

However, the impact of those words coming from Zhou Lian's mouth was still quite strong.

Zhou Lian is usually quiet and steady in his actions.

Even when chatting in the dormitory, he rarely says anything too exaggerated.

Perhaps this is a kind of contrast?

Lu Xing was silent for a while, then couldn't help but say:

"Law students, how terrifying!"

……

Zhou Lian returned home very late that night.

When the dormitory door was pushed open, Lu Xing was sitting in front of his computer researching and developing.

An editor and a document were open on the screen, and several sheets of paper filled with process instructions were placed next to it.

He was still thinking about how to handle the situation when he heard the door open and looked up.

Zhou Lian came in carrying a bag, his brows and eyes showing obvious fatigue.

He put down his bag, looked at Lu Xing, and asked:

"Lin Yuanzhou has explained everything to you, hasn't he?"

Lu Xing nodded.

"Yes, I said so."

Zhou Lian hummed in agreement.

Without any further pleasantries, he pulled up a chair, sat down, and said calmly:

"Then let me tell you about the rest of the arrangements."

"We're definitely not in a rush to clarify things right now."

Lu Xing was slightly taken aback.

"How so?"

Zhou Lian continued:

"Since the other party has blocked the account, it means they have no intention of deleting the post or apologizing."

"If you step forward to explain at this point, it can easily escalate into a dispute between the two sides."

"If they continue to play dead, or try to manipulate the narrative in a different way, they will only make things more chaotic."

He speaks slowly, but every sentence is clear.

"So I want to let the rumors continue to spread for a while."

Zhou Lian then looked at Lin Yuanzhou.

"Zhou, you just keep an eye on the campus forum and a few group chats."

"Save all accounts that maliciously spread rumors and manipulate public opinion."

"It's best to record the screen at the same time, as a single screenshot is sometimes not complete enough."

Lin Yuanzhou immediately made a hand gesture.

"clear."

Zhou Lian then said:

"I've already contacted people in the student union and asked some teachers I know."

Lu Xing was somewhat surprised.

"The teacher knows too?"

Zhou Lian nodded.

"I definitely need to let the teacher know, but I've only briefly explained the situation and haven't formally submitted the materials yet."

"If this matter only ends up as a verbal dispute between students, it will most likely end with the posts being deleted, criticisms being issued, and private apologies being issued."

"But now it involves the continued spread of misinformation, and it also involves your reputation."

"If the impact continues to escalate, it cannot be handled as a simple verbal dispute."

As Lu Xing listened, his expression became more serious.

Zhou Lian calmly said:

"My idea is to handle this matter from the perspective of 'classmates arguing' to 'damage to reputation'."

"As long as they dare to continue to expand their influence, we will compile the evidence into materials and submit them to the college and school."

He paused for a moment, then added:

"If the spread and consequences can expand further, well, that would be interesting."

No one spoke for a moment in the dormitory.

Lu Xing looked at Zhou Lian's calm face, but the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

ruthless……

It's too cruel.

Zhou Lian didn't think he had said anything particularly exaggerated.

He simply looked at Lu Xing, his tone remaining calm:

"There's only one thing you need to do."

Lu Xing asked:

"What?"

"Don't be influenced by rumors. If someone contacts you privately, don't let them affect you either."

Zhou Lian said:

"We will clarify this when the time is right."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Xing and added:

"In short, you can rest assured to leave this to us and just focus on developing the tools."

Zhou Lian's lips curled up slightly.

This incident might just be enough to add to his resume.

A freshman sues and defeats those who spread rumors...

That should be intimidating enough, right?

Lin Yuanzhou was taken aback, then looked at him with some shock:

"no……"

"Did you really intend to go this far?"

Zhou Lian simply shrugged.

"I just want them to receive the punishment they deserve."

"Besides, we'll have to see if they continue to make foolish mistakes."

Lu Xing remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

"OK."

"Brother Lian is awesome."

Zhou Lian laughed, patted Lu Xing on the shoulder, and went to wash up.

The conversation in the dormitory gradually spread.

Before long, it was time to turn off the lights.

Once the lights are turned off, only the faint light coming in from outside the window remains in the dormitory.

Lu Xing lay on the bed.

After a long day of work, his mental state was already at its limit.

Many thoughts swirled in my mind, but gradually became blurred.

Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep.

……

When Lu Xing opened his eyes again, he didn't see the dormitory ceiling.

He was sitting in the driver's seat, his hands on the steering wheel.

Outside the car window, the night flowed by, the dashboard emitted a faint light, and the steering wheel felt all too familiar.

Lu Xing recognized it instantly; it was his car.

It was the rice CU7 that belonged to him in his previous life.

He suddenly regained consciousness.

Was it another dream...?

It was another dream that felt so real it was almost eerie.

His body was still out of control.

I'm trapped in this perspective, like an observer, watching myself continue driving in my dream.

A soft laugh suddenly came from the passenger seat.

"You've asked this three times already."

Lu Xing's gaze involuntarily drifted to the side.

In the passenger seat sat Shen Qingyi, who looked much more mature.

She is no longer the bright and innocent girl she once was on campus.

The woman's eyes and brows remained beautifully cool, yet she possessed a newfound gentleness and composure.

As Lu Xing drove, he asked somewhat nervously:

"What are your hobbies, Uncle and Aunt?"

"It's my first time visiting, I can't go empty-handed, and I can't say the wrong thing, can I?"

"Also, do they prefer someone more stable or someone more outgoing?"

"Sigh...should I talk less?"

Shen Qingyi found it amusing and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"Why are you more nervous than me?"

"My parents already know about you; they just want to meet you and have a chat."

"It's not like I'm going to eat you."

The car stopped right in front of the red light.

Lu Xing stepped on the brakes and gave an awkward laugh.

"Who wouldn't be nervous meeting their girlfriend's parents?"

"Those who aren't nervous are either seasoned scumbags or simply don't care about their girlfriends."

Do you understand?

Shen Qingyi was slightly taken aback.

Immediately, a blush rose to her cheeks, and she turned her head toward the car window.

"Be poor."

"The light's green, drive carefully."

Lu Xing chuckled softly and stepped on the gas again.

The laughter was full of familiarity and doting affection.

As Lu Xing watched all this unfold, his heart sank deeper and deeper.

It's so natural.

The conversation, eye contact, and tone of voice between the two were so natural, as if they had been living together for a long time.

It's a sense of intimacy that's almost ingrained in our habits.

But the problem is...

In his memories of his previous life, there was no such person as Shen Qingyi at all!

What exactly are these images?

Before Lu Xing could continue thinking, the scene before him suddenly blurred.

When he could see clearly again, he was already standing in front of a house.

Lu Xing was carrying several boxes of exquisitely packaged health products, as well as fruit and gift boxes.

Shen Qingyi stood beside him.

She seemed to be in a good mood, and seeing his tense face, she couldn't help but reach out and poke his arm.

"Hey, don't be nervous."

She comforted him softly:

"It's really just a normal chat, my parents won't make things difficult for you."

Lu Xing glanced at her, trying hard to suppress the nervousness in his heart.

"I understand the reasoning."

"But I still want to perform well in front of my uncles and aunts."

Shen Qingyi was stunned for a moment.

The next second, she smiled, pursing her lips.

She didn't say anything more, but instead raised her hand and knocked on the door, calling out clearly into the house:

"mom!"

"Your daughter is home!"

A moment later, the door opened from the inside.

The person who opened the door was Shen Qingyi's mother, Lin Qingxu.

She has a great temperament, dresses simply and appropriately, and has gentle features.

His demeanor exuded a composure and refinement honed by the passage of time.

Lin Qingxu saw Shen Qingyi first, and a smile appeared on her face.

"You're back?"

Then his gaze fell on Lu Xing.

Lu Xing was probably taller than she had expected, and she was slightly taken aback for a moment.

But she quickly regained her composure and greeted them with a smile:

"This must be land travel, right?"

"Come in quickly, don't stand at the door."

Lu Xing quickly greeted them politely:

"Hello, Auntie, this is my first time here, I'm sorry to bother you."

Lin Qingxu's smile deepened.

She took some of the things, and as she ushered the two inside, she said:

"You're already here, why bring so much stuff?"

In the living room, Shen Qingyi's father, Shen Daming, was sitting on the sofa looking at his phone.

Hearing the noise, he looked up, put down his phone, and stood up to look at Lu Xing.

Lu Xing was about to greet him.

But the next second.

Before Shen Daming's face could be fully seen, the voice in his ear suddenly changed.

The voice was immature and unsteady, and it didn't belong to Shen Daming.

It was Lin Yuanzhou's voice.

"Land journey!"

"You should wake up!"

"You're really going to be late, you know that?!"

……

Lu Xing suddenly opened his eyes.

He was so frightened that he jumped out of bed.

In my dream, the living room seemed to be torn apart quickly by something, and all the images faded away in an instant.

Lin Yuanzhou was lying on the edge of his bed, one hand gripping the edge of the bed, the other holding a phone and waving it at him.

"Are you awake?"

"Brother, it's almost 8:30 now."

"Don't you have an 8 AM shift today?"

Lu Xing's mind went blank for a moment.

The next second, he almost reflexively rolled out of bed.

The movement was so fast that Lin Yuanzhou had to take a half step back.

Lu Xing picked up his phone and glanced at the time, then fell silent again.

It's not just that I'm almost late, it's that I'm already late.

He stood by the bed in silence for two seconds, then let out a long sigh.

Lu Xing put his phone back on the table, picked up his toothbrush and towel, and his movements slowed down immediately.

Lin Yuanzhou stared in disbelief.

"Wow, your transformation was so smooth!"

"Why are you taking it so slow again?"

Lu Xing yawned and mumbled:

"It's too late now~"

Lin Yuanzhou: "..."

Well, that's really hard to argue with.

Lu Xing stood in front of the sink, squeezed out the toothpaste, and began brushing his teeth.

The car lights illuminated Shen Qingyi's slightly flushed cheeks as she turned her head.

Standing at her door, I felt so nervous that I could almost hear my own heartbeat.

Everything was so clear, so clear that it didn't feel like a dream at all.

Even more strangely, he could remember the details of his dreams perfectly every time he woke up.

He remembered even the momentary surprise on his mother's face when she opened the door.

This is not normal.

Lu Xing frowned as he brushed his teeth.

At first, he suspected that the girl might have some kind of unscientific identity.

For example, monsters, and gods.

For example, there are people with extraordinary abilities such as mind reading or teleportation.

But now that I think about it, it doesn't seem like it.

These dreams were neither dangerous nor did they imply any coercion on his part.

They don't seem like something instilled by some external force; they're more like a replay of fragments of memory.

But that's precisely the problem.

If he and Shen Qingyi really knew each other in their previous life, and were even close enough to meet each other's parents...

Why is there absolutely no memory of this person?

That doesn't make sense.

Lu Xing felt a slight pain in his temples at that moment.

Good heavens, rebirth is absurd enough.

Why does it feel like things are getting more and more chaotic?

After rinsing his mouth, Lu Xing looked at himself in the mirror and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he let out a soft breath.

Never mind, I still have to go to class.

Lu Xing returned to his dormitory, changed his clothes, and leisurely went out with his books and phone.

Lin Yuanzhou clicked his tongue.

"To be so composed even when you're late, I've really learned something."

Zhao Lin's voice drifted slowly from behind the bed curtains:

"Since we're here, let's make the best of it."

Lin Yuanzhou immediately said:

"No, is that how you use that phrase?"

……

When Lu walked out of the dormitory building, the sunlight outside was already fully bright.

After 8 a.m., there were noticeably fewer students on the road.

Occasionally, a few students who were also late were hurrying towards the teaching building with their heads down, their faces full of regret and struggle.

Lu Xing glanced at the teaching building in the distance and quickened his pace slightly.

The teacher of this course seems to value students' daily performance.

He has good grades. If he goes over after class to explain and admit his mistake, he shouldn't be made to suffer too much.

Even on his way to the classroom, Lu Xing's thoughts kept drifting back to that dream.

Those images were embedded in his mind like fragments.

It's inexplicable, and it just won't go away...

It was as if he had actually experienced those things.
