It Seems I’m Not The Only One Who Reincarnated

Shi Hai immediately realized Tian Shui was truly angry.

Thinking, ‘Why did you provoke her?’ he sighed and diverted the blame from Jian Sichun.

“Alright, senior, I asked her to help think about it, so don’t blame her for speaking out of turn…”

Tian Shui smiled and said.

“Hehe, how could I blame her? After all, the letter was returned by me, so she has every reason to suspect me.”

The smile grew brighter, her lips curling, her eyes squinting.

“Go on, continue your analysis. I’ll listen well. Surely, you have specific reasons to accuse me, right?”

Though smiling like a flower, she was scarier than when she had a straight face.

Jian Sichun had never seen anyone like this.

While frightened, she mentally added another reason to pass.

Such a scary woman would make Shi Hai a henpecked husband! “…Sigh…”

Shi Hai only felt a headache. There were no clues about the sender, and now Tian Shui’s mood had plummeted.

Continuing the discussion was impossible now.

The priority was to calm Tian Shui, lest she, in her rage, made Jian Sichun disappear from this school and transferred her anger to him, which would be bad.

So, how to calm her? Flattery was out of the question for Shi Hai.

His earlier attempt at buttering up proved he wasn’t good at it.

Only one method remained.

As a straightforward guy, he could only be direct.

After a moment of thought, he spoke.

“Senior, do you remember what you told me at noon?”

“Of course, I remember every word clearly.”

“Then I want you to say it again.”

“Oh? Do you want another chance to beg me on your knees?”

“No, the promise you made to me.”

Tian Shui immediately understood Shi Hai’s meaning and instinctively repeated the sentence.

“Um… don’t worry, I won’t harm you.”

At noon, Shi Hai’s response was ‘hard to believe.’

This time, he decisively replied.

“I trust you.”

“—!”

Tian Shui gasped, surprised.

Her mind quickly cooled, and her anger vanished instantly.

She knew Shi Hai well, so she understood his words were not just to calm her, but a genuine expression of his attitude.

This response was also the best answer to her previous question.

——You won’t follow the letter’s content, will you?——

To this, Shi Hai now responded.

Four simple yet powerful words, ‘I trust you,’ implying ‘No matter your intentions in approaching me, I choose to believe you won’t harm me.’

He set aside suspicion and guardedness.

Choosing to give trust.

How could Tian Shui still be angry after hearing this? She initially thought Shi Hai would avoid her because of the letter, but now things had taken a turn…

There was no reason to be angry anymore.

She was overjoyed, almost elated.

If not for Jian Sichun being present, she might have hugged his neck and kissed him.

Thank you for trusting me, Shi Hai.

I will never betray your trust.
