It Seems I’m Not The Only One Who Reincarnated

Upon leaving the Building, passing the Second Cafeteria, and walking by the main building of the School of Information Engineering, one could see the old dormitory halfway up the back hill.

One wonders what people were thinking when they decided to build the dormitory on a steep slope, forcing students to climb several hundred meters every day to get to class.

Maybe it was intended to build up their physical stamina.

Due to its elevated position, even though the old dormitory had only five floors, it was still the “tallest” building in the university, providing a panoramic view of the entire campus from its rooftop.

In the past, there used to be eight dormitory buildings in that area. However, to make way for the new teaching building of the newly established School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the old dormitory area was entirely demolished, except for this single highest-positioned dormitory building. The reason remained a mystery, but today Shi Hai finally understood why.

Most likely, that woman enjoyed the feeling of overlooking everything from the “highest point.”

Actually, up until last year, this solitary old dormitory was still in use, primarily allocated to the male students of the nearby School of Information Engineering.

Shi Hai’s initial assigned dorm room was also in this lone building, but he was soon ordered to move out shortly after the start of the semester. To this day, he still didn’t know where his new dorm room was.

Since Shi Hai’s home wasn’t far from the university, only a forty-minute subway ride, he never lived in the dormitory. Therefore, knowing the location of his new dorm room wasn’t important to him.

Jian Sichun followed Shi Hai, guessing their destination as Shi Hai walked upward.

“Are we going to the old dormitory?” Jian Sichun asked.

“Yes, have you been there?” Shi Hai replied.

“No, but I’ve heard about it,” Jian Sichun responded.

Jian Sichun recalled distant memories, speaking uncertainly.

“I remember it was a boys’ dormitory… and later it became a ghost building after the boys moved out…”

“Actually, quite a few people still come here…” Shi Hai recalled the whispers on every floor, murmuring to himself.

Jian Sichun, tapping her chin with her finger, continued.

“Oh, I remember now, there were rumors that students who couldn’t afford a hotel would bring their own mattresses here, treating it like a free love motel… um…”

Realizing the implication behind Shi Hai’s words, Jian Sichun quickly clarified.

“Wait! Were you implying that I might have been here with someone else?”

“No.”

Shi Hai hadn’t thought that deeply; he had just asked a casual question to avoid awkward silence.

However, Jian Sichun didn’t think so. She quickened her pace to catch up with him and leaned forward to solemnly declare.

“I really haven’t been here! I’m still ‘original’! If you don’t believe me, you can…”

Check for yourself…

She didn’t say it out loud.

Jian Sichun realized that such a statement wasn’t appropriate at the moment.

They had just met and weren’t familiar enough to have such an unguarded conversation.

“…”

Original, meaning, not deflowered.

But there’s no need to share such information…

Shi Hai pretended to cough, seeing her cheeks redden further, and then reassured her.

“Ahem… I understand, there’s no need to be so excited…”

Jian Sichun, inwardly screaming ‘What am I saying!’, but outwardly maintained a shy expression, explained.

“I-I was just afraid you’d misunderstand…”

You emphasizing it makes me really think you’re setting up a ‘pure’ persona.

Just like some girls would say, ‘I’ve never been to a bar,’ actually implying, ‘I’m not a loose person.’

Shi Hai felt he understood, and Jian Sichun also felt she understood.

“So, the reason you are bringing me here…”

“Absolutely not!”

Shi Hai answered instantly, without a moment of hesitation.

“Alright… I knew you weren’t that kind of person, but it wasn’t what I thought…”

What’s with that disappointed look?!

Shi Hai almost burst out laughing.

Please stop, I might really think you like me!

Fortunately, Jian Sichun didn’t stay silent, instead raising a topic.

“But this place isn’t suitable for talking, is it?”

“Yeah, so we’re going to the rooftop.”

“Can we access the rooftop?”

“I have the key.”
