It Seems I’m Not The Only One Who Reincarnated

What the heck? It’s just getting more rice, why are they acting like it’s some big deal?

Unable to watch any longer, Shi Hai stood up, pressing down on their shoulders and gently seating them back down.

“Mom specifically asked for me. You two just keep eating.”

“Mmm…”

“Oh…”

The two obediently sat down, both looking a bit shy.

Seeing this reaction, Liu Zhenshan licked her bowl clean, not leaving a single grain of rice.

When Shi Hai returned with a newly filled half-bowl of rice, he handed it to his mother, giving her a puzzled look.

“Mom, why are you eating so much? Can your stomach handle it?”

“Oh, Sichun and Lingling’s cooking is just too good—I can’t help but want to eat more…”

Of course, their behavior itself was even more delightful and delicious, Liu Zhenshan thought to herself.

Shi Hai didn’t know what to do with her, thinking that he should probably get her some stomach medicine after dinner.

After sitting back down, Shi Hai asked about something important.

“Mom, when is Shi Meng arriving?”

“Oh, I talked to her today. She said she’ll move in on Friday evening after her classes.”

“Today’s Tuesday, so that’s the day after tomorrow… I’ll go pick her up from school on Friday then. Can you contact her class teacher for me? Otherwise, even as a graduate, I won’t be able to get near the girls’ dorm. The dorm supervisor will definitely stop me.”

Liu Zhenshan blinked innocently and said, “But I don’t have Shi Meng’s class teacher’s contact information.”

“Hey! What kind of guardian are you? How can you be so unreliable!”

“Ugh… Stupid son! Don’t be so mean to me!”

“Hah… Old lady, seriously…”

“Calling your mom ‘old lady’? I’ll cry, you know!”

“…”

Liu Zhenshan pouted, acting cute, and Shi Hai could only roll his eyes.

If it were just the two of them, it wouldn’t matter, but Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie were both there too. Wasn’t this embarrassing?

Actually, Sichun and Lingjie were already used to it.

They both adored the open-minded and adorable Liu Zhenshan, so how could they be annoyed?

In their past lives, they were already Liu Zhenshan’s people!

It was like being mother and daughter-in-law, perfectly in sync.

However, seeing Shi Hai so exasperated, Zhu Lingjie felt a bit sorry for him and cautiously raised her hand to suggest,

“Why don’t I go with you? I can talk to the teachers—they probably still remember me and would let us into the girls’ dorm.”

Zhu Lingjie had been an excellent student in high school and never caused any trouble, so the teachers liked her and treated her with great care.

She had a good relationship with her teachers, though only with the female ones.

“Can you?”

“Mhm.”

“Then I’ll leave it to you.”

“It’s no trouble.”

Shi Hai was straightforward about it.

He already considered Zhu Lingjie a friend, so if she was willing to help, he didn’t see any need to be polite.

Hearing this, Liu Zhenshan had a sudden idea and suggested,

“Why don’t the three of you go pick up Shi Meng together?”

“Huh?”

Originally feeling a bit lonely about not being able to join the childhood friends, Jian Sichun was stunned by Liu Zhenshan’s suggestion.

“Sichun, wouldn’t you like to see the high school where Shi Hai and Lingling went? This is the perfect chance to visit, especially since it’ll be Friday afternoon, and the students will be out of class.”

At their high school, there were no evening classes on Friday, but instead, they had evening classes on Sunday.

Jian Sichun was tempted; she did want to see Shi Hai’s alma mater.

But she was also worried about intruding on the two childhood friends’ outing…

However, her curiosity won out, and she hesitantly pointed to herself and asked,

“So… um… can I come too?”

“I don’t mind.”

Shi Hai’s thinking was simple.

If he couldn’t enter the girls’ dorm to help with moving things, everything would be left to the girls.

Having Jian Sichun along would mean an extra pair of hands.

Zhu Lingjie smiled and said,

“Of course you can. Let’s go together.”

Jian Sichun might be the first “true friend” Zhu Lingjie had made, so naturally, she wanted to grow closer to her.

And so, the plan to pick up Shi Meng turned into a trio outing.

At this point, the most excited person was Liu Zhenshan.

As she gulped down her rice, she thought to herself, “A love triangle… how delightful!”

Does she have a stomachache? Not at all!

Since the anime adaptation of White Album 2 hadn’t aired yet, there wasn’t a more representative term to describe such a tangled love triangle.

Otherwise, someone as gossipy as Liu Zhenshan would surely exclaim, “The pain of white love is simply marvelous!”

Liu Zhenshan decided that on Friday afternoon, she would sneak along even if she had to take time off work.

That night, she would definitely have another great appetite and could easily eat three bowls of rice!
