It Seems I’m Not The Only One Who Reincarnated

Jian Sichun, who knew the way from the university to the Shi family’s home like the back of her hand, arrived at the entrance of the subway station near the school earlier than Shi Hai and waited for him.

Since secretly following him would be considered stalking, there should be no problem if they go together openly, right?

“Ha…”

Seeing Jian Sichun looking at him expectantly, Shi Hai sighed, holding his forehead.

It seemed today’s hardships were not over yet.

“You really beat me… Are you sure this is okay?”

Shi Hai finally understood why Senior Tian Shui had emphasized those few words at the end; she had probably already noticed Jian Sichun’s intention to go home with him.

Jian Sichun knew that she was causing trouble for Shi Hai by doing this. Following someone home on the first day was quite shameless, especially since she wasn’t a homeless girl with nowhere to go.

Even in their past life, their relationship had progressed gradually, and they had started living together because she had issues with her roommate, and Shi Hai couldn’t stand it, so he let her stay at his place.

So, no matter how you look at it, slowly building the relationship was the better choice…

But!

Jian Sichun thought that since she had already given up on becoming his girlfriend, why should she care about his feelings towards her? In the future, she would just be his friend who assists and supports him. So it didn’t matter if she was annoying now!

Recently, or rather in future anime, there are characters like that, right? The little sister who, under the pretext of taking care of the reclusive senior, engages in various ridiculous entanglements…

That’s right! She could do the same! Visiting a friend’s house, meeting his mother, and staying overnight was totally normal, wasn’t it?

Convincing herself, Jian Sichun mustered up the courage to speak.

“As… friends!”

“As friends?”

Jian Sichun nodded heavily.

“Yes! As your friend, visiting your house should be a normal thing, right?”

“…”

Becoming friends on the first day wasn’t unusual.

What’s unusual was becoming friends in less than an hour and wanting to visit each other’s house…

Shi Hai felt that trying to argue would be a loss.

“Alright… I understand.”

“You agreed!”

“Just so you know, I don’t live alone. My mom might be at home.”

“Okay!”

Jian Sichun didn’t mind at all. She had been living at Shi Hai’s house since university and had long known his mother.

In fact, her relationship with Shi Hai’s mother was beyond harmonious in-law relations; they were almost like mother and daughter.

Actually, Jian Sichun’s concern for Shi Hai’s future was partly influenced by Shi Hai’s mother.

Seeing that she was not deterred at all, Shi Hai thought that since the worst-case scenario wouldn’t happen, he might as well give in.

If she didn’t mind, why should he care so much? A girl willing to visit his home was a good thing, wasn’t it?

“Then let’s go.”

“Yay!”

Jian Sichun jumped happily to Shi Hai’s side and entered the subway station with him.

Upon entering the station, she initially wanted to take out her phone to scan the QR code but suddenly remembered that in 2012, QR codes were not yet widespread.

“What’s wrong? Didn’t you bring your card?”

“Wait a minute, let me find it…”

Jian Sichun searched herself and found a brand-new cross-stitch wallet.

She remembered this wallet; back then, she was transitioning from cross-stitching to making clothes, but making clothes was much harder.

So, she soon realized that needlework wasn’t for her and turned to learn drawing instead.

However, later on, Shi Hai inherited her interest and started making handmade clothes, doing it much better than she ever did.

In the future, most of Jian Sichun’s cosplay outfits were handmade by Shi Hai.

Jian Sichun especially loved the clothes Shi Hai made. She kept them in a separate wardrobe, away from other clothes.

Because they were her most treasured possessions…

“Did you find it?”

“Ah! Found it, found it! I’m coming!”

Jian Sichun, snapped out of her thoughts, quickly took out her subway card and passed through the turnstile.

While waiting for the subway, Jian Sichun rubbed her cheeks hard and mentally warned herself.

Stop thinking… Stop reminiscing.

Otherwise, it would be harder to let go…

Shi Hai saw all this but didn’t ask.
