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

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but they all stuck in his throat.

In his life...

No, he never imagined this day would come in both of his lives combined.

On the first day of school, a girl asked him in front of both of their roommates:

"Should we add each other's contact information?"

Is this reasonable?

Lu Xing's brain was racing, trying to retrieve even the slightest bit of information about the girl in front of him from his memory.

No.

It wasn't there in the previous life, and it wasn't there before today in this life either.

All I know is that she's most likely that aloof school beauty.

Lin Yuanzhou, standing nearby, stamped his feet anxiously and urged him in a low, exasperated voice:

"Say something!"

Lu Xing: "..."

What are you saying?

He's almost forgotten what his own name is now.

Shen Qingyi's heart pounded as she looked at Lu Xing's completely stunned expression.

According to her understanding, Lu Xing is actually a very vigilant person.

Once he realizes what's happening, he might think it's some new kind of scam...

But Shen Qingyi knew even better that if she didn't take this step tonight, she would definitely regret it.

So she tried to maintain her composure and looked down to take her phone out of her bag.

Unlocked, opened the green, mysterious software, and displayed my QR code.

The movements were so fluid and seamless that even she was surprised.

She looked up and waved her phone screen at Lu Xing.

A square QR code is quietly lit up.

"Here you are."

Lu Xing stared at the QR code, his brain finally rebooting, and he snapped back to reality.

He subconsciously said "Oh," and hurriedly pulled his phone out of his pocket.

Unlock, tap to scan.

Tsk, where is the scan function again?

He was a little hasty, and he shook his phone twice before aligning it with the QR code.

With a soft "beep", the page for adding friends popped up.

Shen Qingyi's profile picture is a white camellia, simple and clean.

However, the name also sounds rather playful—

Orange soda.

Lu Xing paused for a moment, then clicked "Add to Contacts".

After hesitating for a moment at the verification message, I finally typed two words obediently:

"Land journey".

Click send.

Shen Qingyi's phone vibrated slightly, and she glanced down at the screen.

A friend request popped up, and his name was written in the note field.

Her fingertips lightly traced the screen, and a faint smile unconsciously curved her lips.

From then on, they had one more friend on their friend lists.

After doing all this, Shen Qingyi put her phone back in her bag and looked up at Lu Xing.

Her cheeks were flushed, and even her earlobes looked as if they had been dyed by the sunset.

But she still tried her best to make her voice sound calm and natural:

"Well...we'll be going now."

As she spoke, she turned around and reached out to tug at Xu Zhixia, who was still playing the role of Slowpoke.

"Let's go."

Hurry up!

Xu Zhixia was pulled back to her senses.

She looked at Shen Qingyi's face, which was clearly flushed, yet she was trying to remain calm.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he swallowed it back.

"Oh...oh oh! Let's go, let's go."

Tang Xiaoman covered her mouth, her eyes darting back and forth between Shen Qingyi and Lu Xing several times.

Finally, Han Shuyan subtly pulled him back, and he turned around.

The figures of the four girls gradually disappeared along the sidewalk.

Shen Qingyi walked at the front, her steps appearing quite composed.

Only after walking far enough away that she could no longer see Lu Xing behind her did she suddenly stop and exhale deeply.

Then he squatted down and buried his face in his arms.

"Qingyi!"

Tang Xiaoman quickly moved closer and squatted down next to her, her voice filled with barely suppressed excitement:

"You, you, you, you—you were way too intense just now!!"

Xu Zhixia followed, arms crossed, shaking her head with a smile:

"All day long, I thought you were such a cool and aloof person."

Shen Qingyi squatted on the ground and muttered something in a low voice:

"...Stop talking."

Xu Zhixia smiled and squatted down next to her:

"What, regretting it?"

Shen Qingyi was silent for two seconds, then gently shook her head.

No.

She has no regrets.

But doing this... is still too embarrassing.

------

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant.

Lu Xing remained standing there, holding his phone, the screen still showing the chat page.

The three boys just stood there dumbfounded, and no one said a word for a long time.

A night breeze blew from the street corner, carrying a few fallen leaves.

finally--

"Wow!"

Lin Yuanzhou suddenly jumped up and rushed to Lu Xing's side.

He raised his hand and slapped him hard on the back.

The crisp "snap" sound was particularly clear in the night.

Lu Xing staggered forward a step after being hit, and turned to look at Lin Yuanzhou.

Lin Yuanzhou's eyes shone brightly, and his voice was full of excitement:

"Lu Xing! You're fucking lucky with women!"

Not content with just slapping him once, he went around to Lu Xing's side.

He touched his chin with one hand, looking Lu Xing up and down.

"But what exactly does she see in you?"

"Although you are indeed quite good-looking..."

He paused, then puffed out his chest:

"But compared to me, they're still far behind!"

Lu Xing: "..."

A divine being.

Looking at the self-satisfied Lin Yuanzhou in front of him, Lu Xing's lips twitched:

Are you sure?

Lin Yuanzhou waved his hand:

"I'm sure!"

"Look at my face! Sharp features, handsome and dashing—the standard campus heartthrob!"

Zhao Lin lazily added a sentence from the back:

"Yeah, a crazy guy on campus."

"Go! Go! Go!"

Lin Yuanzhou turned around and glared at him, then turned to Lu Xing, his eyes becoming meaningful.

He clapped his hands together, as if he had just realized some earth-shattering secret.

"I see!"

He pointed at Lu Xing, his tone resolute:

"So you and that girl knew each other before, didn't you?!"

Lu Xing looked at him helplessly:

"I've told you so many times, I really don't recognize you."

Besides, we really knew each other before, how could we not even exchange contact information?

"impossible!"

Lin Yuanzhou simply didn't believe it:

"Why would she proactively ask for your WeChat if she didn't know you? And why would you two keep staring at each other if you didn't know each other?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Zhao Lin suddenly realized something and turned to Lin Yuanzhou, saying:

"Oh no!"

"What's wrong? Forgot something?"

Lin Yuanzhou immediately put on a stern face:

"It seems like we've become part of the play."

Lu Xing sighed, turned back towards the school, and waved his hand, saying:

"Impossible, impossible, I have no memory of this girl at all."

He then added:

"Besides, how could I possibly forget such a beautiful girl if I knew her?"

That kind of look is unforgettable once you've seen it.

But his memory was completely blank; there was nothing there.

Lin Yuanzhou and Zhao Lin followed him, and the three of them walked together along the sidewalk toward the school.

As the night breeze blew by, the smell of hot pot gradually dissipated, and the campus drew ever closer.

Zhao Lin walked at the very back, his hands in his pockets, and suddenly spoke lazily:

"Perhaps we were destined to be together in a past life, and this is a continuation of that destiny?"

He said this casually, as if it were a casual joke.

But Lu Xing paused slightly upon hearing this.

Was it a predestined connection from a past life?

He shook his head subconsciously, his tone carrying a hint of certainty:

"Impossible, I don't remember anyone like her in my past life..."

The air fell silent for a second as soon as the words left his mouth.

Lu Xing's steps suddenly stopped.

Oops.

Lin Yuanzhou walked beside him, still pondering the words he had just spoken.

Hearing this, she turned to look at Lu Xing and blinked.

"Um?"

He tilted his head, his tone slightly teasing:

"You don't remember your past life either? What, were you perhaps reborn?"

Lin Yuanzhou spoke casually, clearly going along with the joke.

But Lu Xing's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

He was silent for two seconds, then smiled:

"Yes, I was reborn."

Lin Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing:

"Come on! Rebirth, my foot..."

"If you were reborn, I'd still be a cultivator!"

Zhao Lin slowly added from behind:

"Then I am a Mahayana cultivator~"

"Get lost!"

Lin Yuanzhou chuckled and scolded, then reached out to pat Zhao Lin on the head.

Zhao Lin turned his head to avoid it, and the two of them started bickering, pushing each other and arguing.

"Step back!"

"Take this Thunderous Crescent Slash!"

The topic was thus easily and easily diverted.

Lin Yuanzhou and Zhao Lin were still arguing and making a ruckus in front of them, their voices carrying far into the night.

Lu Xing followed behind, watching their backs.

Don't say...

I really was reborn.

Lu Xing remembered everything about his past life perfectly.

Therefore, it is even more certain that—

He had never met Shen Qingyi in his previous life.

But why...?

What kind of look would she give him?

Why would she take the initiative to approach him?
