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

When Shen Qingyi returned to her dormitory, the first thing she heard was Xu Zhixia's voice.

"Seriously, I was completely numb at that moment."

Xu Zhixia was sitting at the table removing her makeup, with a small mirror in front of her, her tone full of helplessness.

"I told him I was busy, but he kept asking if I could add him on WeChat."

"Can't he tell at all that I'm rejecting him?"

Tang Xiaoman leaned back in her chair, munching on snacks, and nodded in unison.

"Ugh! People like that are so annoying!"

"They've all refused, but they keep trying to get closer to me."

Xu Zhixia sighed.

"yes."

"I really wanted to..."

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly saw a figure in the mirror at the doorway.

Xu Zhixia immediately turned her head.

"Oh~"

"Qingyi is back?"

Tang Xiaoman immediately poked her head out as well.

"Qingyi!"

"You're back from your date?"

Shen Qingyi closed the door, a slight smile curving her lips.

"Yes, I'm back."

She placed the small bag on the table and then took off the scarf around her neck.

Xu Zhixia paused in removing her makeup, her gaze immediately drawn to the scarf.

"what?"

She put down the makeup remover pad and moved closer.

"Qingyi, why did you bring a scarf back?"

"Did you buy it from outside?"

Tang Xiaoman also stood up from her chair and ran to Shen Qingyi's table to take a look.

She reached out to touch it, but stopped just before she could.

"Wow……"

"This color is so gentle."

Xu Zhixia looked at it carefully for a few seconds and nodded.

"She really does seem to be a perfect match for Qingyi."

Off-white is inherently clean and soft, and Shen Qingyi's cool temperament perfectly balances that softness, making her appear gentle and serene.

A smile appeared in Shen Qingyi's eyes.

"The scarf wasn't bought."

Xu Zhixia blinked.

"Not bought?"

Shen Qingyi touched the scarf, her voice unconsciously softening.

Winter is coming soon.

"This is a gift from Lu Xing."

After saying that, she picked up the small bag next to her and gently waved it in front of Tang Xiaoman.

"Can Xiaoman already smell the cake?"

Tang Xiaoman was stunned for a moment.

The next second, her eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously.

"Mmm-hmm!"

"Qingyi understands me best~"

Upon hearing the word "cake," Xu Zhixia immediately came over as well.

"cake?"

"Lu Xing even bought you a cake?"

Shen Qingyi smiled and took the cake box out of the bag.

As soon as the box was opened, a delicate aroma of cream wafted out.

Although only a little over half of the cake remained, it was packed very carefully and its shape was well preserved.

Tang Xiaoman stared wide-eyed.

"It looks so delicious..."

Shen Qingyi took out a disposable fork from the side and then a small plate, and gave each of them a piece.

"Want to try some?"

Tang Xiaoman took the small plate and immediately started eating.

After cutting the cake, Shen Qingyi asked with some curiosity:

"Where's Shuyan?"

Xu Zhixia took a small bite of cake and put it in her mouth, casually saying:

"I went to be with my boyfriend."

She chewed twice, her eyes widening slightly.

"Um?"

"This cake is so delicious!"

Tang Xiaoman had already taken a bite, and there was a little cream on the corner of her mouth.

She squinted her eyes happily.

"Hehe, it smells like money~"

Xu Zhixia lowered her head and dug out a little more, then continued:

"She just went out; she should be back in a bit."

Tang Xiaoman thought about it carefully.

"Those two on a date...could it be at the library?"

Xu Zhixia paused.

"Yes, very likely."

Shen Qingyi was amused by them.

As Xu Zhixia was eating, she suddenly realized something.

She looked up at Shen Qingyi.

"That's not right."

"Why is there cake again today?"

Tang Xiaoman, with cream still on her lips, also looked up.

"That's right."

She tilted her head.

"Does Qingyi really like this kind of sweet?"

"So Lu Xing specially bought you a cake?"

Shen Qingyi exclaimed "Ah!"

She then realized that she had never told them that it was her birthday.

After all, she herself had almost forgotten.

If Lu Xing hadn't remembered, she probably would have just treated this day as an ordinary day.

Shen Qingyi paused, then said softly:

"today……"

Actually, it's my birthday.

The words fell.

The dormitory fell silent instantly.

Xu Zhixia's fork stopped in mid-air.

Tang Xiaoman hadn't even swallowed the cake in her mouth when she froze completely.

The two of them slowly turned their heads at the same time, looking at Shen Qingyi in shock.

"Birthday?!"

Xu Zhixia almost stood up from her chair.

Is today your birthday?

Tang Xiaoman's eyes widened as well.

"Why didn't you leak any information?"

Xu Zhixia's face was filled with disbelief.

"We haven't prepared anything!"

Tang Xiaoman nodded quickly.

"Yeah, yeah."

Seeing their frustrated expressions, Shen Qingyi quickly waved her hand with a smile.

"There's no need..."

"Really, there's no need to go through all that trouble."

She glanced down at the cake on the table and said softly:

"If Lu Xing hadn't remembered that today is my birthday, I would have completely forgotten."

After these words were spoken, Xu Zhixia and Tang Xiaoman fell silent.

Tang Xiaoman lowered her head and ate a small bite of cake.

She bit her fork, hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked softly:

"Qingyi seems to be..."

"You don't really care about birthdays?"

Shen Qingyi was slightly taken aback.

When I was a child, my parents were very busy with work.

It's not that they don't love her.

There's always work to be done, and always social engagements and meetings that can't be avoided.

Sometimes on her birthday, the housekeeper would cook her a bowl of longevity noodles.

Sometimes, a birthday gift will be delivered to my home early.

Exquisite packaging, expensive price.

But the house is always very quiet.

after that……

Lu Xing started remembering her birthday.

Every year, every time, without fail, without ever being perfunctory.

But precisely because of this, after being reborn, she subconsciously avoided the word "birthday".

Shen Qingyi lowered her eyelashes.

Those unspoken emotions lingered in his eyes for only a moment.

Then, she looked up and smiled at the two of them.

"I didn't really care much about it, because I've never really celebrated my birthday much since I was little."

Xu Zhixia frowned.

Tang Xiaoman also put down her fork, forgetting even to wipe the cream off her lips.

Seeing their expressions, Shen Qingyi smiled and said:

"Oh, it's really nothing."

"Birthdays come every year."

Xu Zhixia shook her index finger very seriously.

"no."

Shen Qingyi blinked.

Xu Zhixia straightened her back and said in a serious tone:

"Shen Qingyi, your thinking is completely incorrect."

"Birthdays are definitely something to be celebrated!"

"This is the day you came into this world."

Tang Xiaoman nodded quickly.

"Yes."

"This is a very important day."

Xu Zhixia took out her phone and opened the notes app.

"I remember... November 16th."

As she typed, she said firmly:

"I'll definitely celebrate your birthday with you next year."

Tang Xiaoman glanced at her silently.

Then, she muttered under her breath:

"I'm just worried that I might not need your help then..."

The dormitory was silent for a second.

Xu Zhixia slowly turned her head and looked at Tang Xiaoman.

Tang Xiaoman held her little cake and blinked her eyes.

Xu Zhixia was so angry she laughed.

"What you said makes a lot of sense..."

"But I still feel so annoyed!!!"

After saying that, she pounced on Tang Xiaoman.

"I'm going to take your little cake!"

Tang Xiaoman was startled and immediately jumped up from her chair, clutching the small plate.

"No!!"

She started running around Shen Qingyi's chair.

"Qingyi, save me!!!"

Xu Zhixia chased after her.

You just stabbed me in the heart!

"Hand over the cake, and I might spare your life!"

Tang Xiaoman shouted as she ran.

"Qingyi gave this to me!"

"You can't steal it!"

Xu Zhixia gave a cold laugh.

"Then I'll take you along with me."

"Aaaaaah!"

Tang Xiaoman went around behind Shen Qingyi, trying to use her as a shield.

"Qingyi!"

"She's trying to murder your lovely roommate!"

Seeing them all fussing around her, Shen Qingyi smiled helplessly.

"Okay, okay, be careful the cake doesn't fall."

The two of them then stopped at the same time.

Tang Xiaoman quickly looked down to check her cake, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was still safe and sound.

"Thank goodness, my happiness is safe."

Xu Zhixia gave a soft snort.

"I'll let you off the hook today, out of respect for the birthday person."

Tang Xiaoman obediently lowered her head and continued eating her cake.

Shen Qingyi lowered her eyes gently, and the corners of her lips slowly curved up.

If every birthday could be this joyful...

that would be great.
