It Seems I’m Not The Only One Who Reincarnated

“Oh, and what about your parents?”

“They… went abroad.”

“Abroad?”

“Mm… for their honeymoon.”

“I see, so you moved back alone?”

“Mm…”

Zhu Lingjie nodded.

Though her voice was still soft, it was at least audible.

So, this time only Zhu Lingjie had moved back, without her parents.

Perhaps because she was now a college student and no longer needed the same level of protection, they had decided to give her some independence.

After Shi Hai had asked everything he could think of, the conversation reached a standstill.

Just as Shi Hai was about to say goodbye and leave, Zhu Lingjie inquired about Jian Sichun’s identity.

“That… who is she?”

Shi Hai calmly pointed to Jian Sichun.

“Oh, a friend of mine.”

Jian Sichun, lively and cooperative, introduced herself with a cheerful gesture.

“Hello~ I’m Jian Sichun! Shi Hai’s best friend!”

She emphasized the words ‘best friend.’

Sensitive as she was, Zhu Lingjie picked up on the implication.

Jian Sichun… best friend?

Why have I never seen her before…

This curiosity didn’t show on Zhu Lingjie’s face.

She nodded and introduced herself.

“Hello… I’m Zhu Lingjie.”

This time, she didn’t introduce herself word by word. Shi Hai thought she might do that as some sort of ‘signal.’

However, Zhu Lingjie was more concerned about where Shi Hai and Jian Sichun were heading so late and why they were coming from Shi Hai’s house.

But she chose her words carefully, knowing her current relationship with Shi Hai was still just ‘not-so-close childhood friends.’

“Where are you going…?”

“I’m taking her back to the dorm before the lights go out.”

“I see… is Auntie at home?”

“Mm, she’s home.”

“Alright… be careful on the way…”

Shi Hai nodded, and Jian Sichun waved goodbye.

But before they left, Zhu Lingjie called out to Shi Hai again.

“Shi Hai—!”

The sound of his name made Shi Hai shudder.

This was the first time Zhu Lingjie had ever called him by his name.

It was kind of sad—despite being childhood friends, she had never addressed him by name.

Shi Hai had even wondered if Zhu Lingjie knew his name…

Jian Sichun nudged Shi Hai again.

“Hey! Why are you spacing out again!”

“Uh… sorry.”

It wasn’t Shi Hai’s fault.

He had experienced a lot of unexpected things today, and his interactions with girls had hit an all-time high.

However, with Tian Shui and Jian Sichun, they were ‘new acquaintances,’ so talking to them wasn’t difficult.

But conversing with Zhu Lingjie was the most astonishing thing for Shi Hai today.

It was like thinking someone was mute for over ten years, only for them to suddenly start speaking and even cracking jokes.

The shock was on par with a galactic explosion.

Gathering himself, Shi Hai steadied his emotions and asked.

“Mm, what is it?”

“Well… I’ll come by to say hello later…”

“Oh, sure. My mom would love to see you.”

This wasn’t just a polite remark.

Despite Shi Hai’s poor relationship with Zhu Lingjie, Liu Zhenshan had a great relationship with Zhu Lingjie’s family, especially with her mother, who was her best friend.

They frequently visited each other, not just during holidays.
