It Seems I’m Not The Only One Who Reincarnated - Chapter 3: The Senior

The girl’s self-confidence was unmistakable. Could she really be telling the truth?

And as if she read Shi Hai’s mind, the girl then said. “Come closer and take a good look at me.”

At first, Shi Hai didn’t understand what she meant. But seeing her standing there, proud as a white swan with her hands behind her back, he realized she wanted him to admire her beauty.

With a slender waist, ample chest, tall stature, long legs, a curvaceous figure, porcelain skin, and flowing hair, she was indeed a rare beauty. The most striking feature was her silky, light golden hair. It was the finishing touch that completed her radiant appearance.

When she stood with the sun behind her, her golden hair seemed to shine with a divine glow.

Shi Hai had always thought blond hair didn’t suit Asians, believing that anime’s blonde beauties wouldn’t translate well to reality. But this girl seemed naturally suited to her light golden hair, perfectly matching her aura.

She exuded a maturity uncommon among her peers, a quality Shi Hai himself had often been told he possessed.

Apart from her striking golden hair, her outfit was equally eye-catching. The loose black long-sleeve top and high-waisted pleated skirt accentuated her waist and bust. Her fair, bare legs were paired with short socks and expensive-looking sneakers.

She was incredibly fashionable, like someone who belonged on the cover of a fashion magazine.

He had taken in her appearance. She was indeed beautiful. So, what now?

Shi Hai still didn’t understand her point. Was she expecting him to recognize her just by looking at her?

Sorry, but he had no idea who she was.

Seeing that he had finished looking, she smiled proudly. “I’m very beautiful, aren’t I?”

It wasn’t even a question. She was confident in her looks, and she had every right to be.

At this youthful age, most girls’ appearances were already set. Without resorting to surgery, makeup was the only way to further enhance their looks. But her natural beauty was already unbeatable.

Acknowledging her beauty was easy. “Yes, very beautiful.”

His words were simple, lacking the eloquence to offer a more elaborate compliment. Her reaction to his answer was unexpected. She tilted her head and asked, “I didn’t expect you to be like this.”

“Like what?” Shi Hai was confused.

Was she upset about being complimented?

Instead of clarifying, she steered the conversation back. “So, now you understand, right? I have complete freedom in this school.”

Though Shi Hai still didn’t know her identity, he sensed her privilege and asked, “So, this old dormitory building wasn’t demolished because of you?”

“That’s right. At least until I graduate, it won’t be torn down.”

“Then, since this is your territory, you allow those… couples downstairs?”

Shi Hai trailed off, but she knew he referred to the couples using the building for trysts. “I don’t need those simple dorm rooms. This open rooftop is enough for me. I just wanted a place to relax.”

She seemed like someone without friends. With such a distinct personality, it’s no wonder she stood out so much. She might claim to have complete freedom, but it likely came at the cost of social isolation.

Shi Hai thought about reminding her, “Though university professors don’t care about students’ personal lives, being too conspicuous could cause problems.”

She responded bitterly, “Yes, their looks make me uncomfortable. They probably think, ‘You’re only acting recklessly because of your wealthy mother. Without her, you’re nothing!’ or ‘A student’s duty is to study. What kind of student acts like this!’”

She knew exactly how others perceived her. Was she acting out on purpose?

“That’s why I improved my grades and became the top of the school, now those lousy teachers can’t do anything to me.”

So, she went from being rich and willful to being rich and competent. Shi Hai imagined the frustrated teachers and felt a bit satisfied himself.

With such high grades, they couldn’t find any faults.

She wasn’t just a pretty face; she had the brains to match.

If they weren’t attending the same university, Shi Hai might never have encountered such a high-achieving person.

Was she just trying to show off? How boring. Shi Hai felt his mood drop.

“What’s with that look? I’m a third-year, and you’re a second-year, right?”

She gave him a look that clearly said, “You understand what I mean, right?”

Shi Hai nodded and greeted her, “Oh… hello, senior.”

Seemingly satisfied, she smiled confidently, as if to say, “This feels good.”

Shi Hai felt a bit annoyed. He shouldn’t have come to this rooftop; it only brought him trouble. He wanted to leave but didn’t dare anger her. After all, she was influential, and crossing her could mean trouble.

He decided to wait until she was done showing off and then praise her appropriately to escape.
