It Seems I’m Not The Only One Who Reincarnated

However, his mom had always been well-liked, so it wasn’t surprising that she got along well with their neighbors.

Liu Zhenshan’s fondness for Zhu Lingjie went beyond just being ‘the neighbor’s child’; she even gave Zhu Lingjie a share of the New Year money.

One of the few times Shi Hai saw Zhu Lingjie’s expressions change was when she was in front of his mom.

Is this the invincible power of maternal love…?

This time, the conversation really ended.

With a nod, Zhu Lingjie went upstairs while Shi Hai and Jian Sichun continued downstairs.

After they left the residential complex, Jian Sichun couldn’t help but speak up with a hint of jealousy.

“Who is she? You were completely stunned several times!”

You were unfazed by Senior Tian Shui, and I thought you had a high tolerance, but it seems it’s just not your type!

And you also reacted indifferently to me… Am I not cute enough?

Jian Sichun fumed internally, feeling a bit jealous.

Shi Hai, who had nothing to hide, shrugged and said, “I was just surprised. I didn’t expect her to be able to speak so normally.”

“What do you mean? Is this the first time you’ve talked to her?”

“Sort of…. Today might be the first time in fifteen years that I’ve heard her speak so ‘completely’ and ‘clearly.’”

“Wow, really? Isn’t she more introverted than I am!”

You call yourself introverted?

Shi Hai was skeptical.

Actually, Jian Sichun was only this open around Shi Hai.

In front of others, she was shy, blushed easily, and stuttered—a classic case of social anxiety.

For example, when facing Tian Shui earlier, she hid behind Shi Hai like a scared rabbit, trembling.

“But fifteen years… You have a friend you’ve known for that long?”

“What? You didn’t know? Didn’t the future me tell you?”

“No, I didn’t know. This is the first time I’ve seen her!”

“Huh…”

Shi Hai squinted, making a meaningful sound.

From what Jian Sichun said, she didn’t know Zhu Lingjie and had never seen her.

Jian Sichun had mentioned that she spent a long time living in Shi Hai’s house in the future.

But she never saw Zhu Lingjie during that time?

This was quite contradictory.

The simple-minded Jian Sichun, curious about Zhu Lingjie’s background, urged Shi Hai for more information.

“Hurry up, tell me more! Is Zhu Lingjie your friend? Childhood friend? Neighbors?”

Shi Hai felt these titles were too flattering. The most accurate one was:

“She’s the ‘neighbor’s daughter’ who used to live next door.”

“Huh?! So she’s the one who used to live next to our house?”

Has it become ‘our house’ already…?

This girl really doesn’t hold back, huh?

“Didn’t you know that?”

“I only knew that the people next door used to be good neighbors, but they moved away. Mom was very sad about it.”

“So you never saw them?”

“No, I always thought the place next door was empty.”

“You mean, in your future, no one lived next door?”

Jian Sichun touched her cheek uncertainly.

“Uh, I’m not sure. I rarely went out…”

She could go a month without stepping outside.

Shi Hai felt helpless.

It was hard to make a judgment with such uncertain information.

But he tended to think that in Jian Sichun’s future, the house next door was unoccupied.

In other words, Zhu Lingjie moving back was likely an ‘unplanned event.’

However, since Jian Sichun had moved in much earlier after being reborn, Zhu Lingjie might only stay for a day or two, and they just missed each other…

They’d only get answers in time.

Shi Hai kept this clue in mind.

…

Back home, without even turning on the lights.

With a thud, Zhu Lingjie fell to her knees, hands on the floor, her expression collapsing.

Her wide eyes and twitching mouth showed how shaken she was.

Her mind was filled with one question.

Did Shi Hai have a girlfriend in college?! It must be his girlfriend! They came out of his house together! Even his mom approved!

Question: After being reborn, I find my husband and his ex-girlfriend coming out of the house together. My mind is collapsing. What should I do next?
