It Seems I’m Not The Only One Who Reincarnated - Chapter 39: Blushing

Shi Hai was bewildered.

It wasn’t that the slap on his face hurt that much, but rather that Jian Sichun’s sudden action to support Zhu Lingjie left him unable to comprehend.

Was she really determined to set him up with a girlfriend?

Jian Sichun angrily exclaimed, “You just wait and see!”

It didn’t sound like a confession at all; instead, it felt more like a declaration of war.

Moreover, it wasn’t Jian Sichun who confessed.

Her acting as if she was declaring a romantic war was truly bizarre.

After wiping away her tears with her sleeve, Jian Sichun grabbed Zhu Lingjie’s hand and led her off the rooftop.

Zhu Lingjie was also stunned.

Clearly, she was the one who confessed, but in the end, it was Jian Sichun who cried?

And she even slapped Shi Hai, forcibly interrupting his rejection…

Was she doing all this just to help her?

How could she be so kind—!?

Watching the two girls walk away confidently, Shi Hai felt less like the one being confessed to and more like the one being rejected.

He touched his face.

The pain had already faded, but the emotional impact was far greater than the physical pain.

This was also the first time he had been slapped; even his mother had never hit him.

After seriously reflecting on the situation, he still couldn’t see where he had gone wrong.

But Jian Sichun’s reaction suggested that perhaps he had indeed done something wrong.

“Don’t jump to conclusions too quickly…”

A reincarnated person knows far more than what he can deduce from the current information.

However, Jian Sichun didn’t know Zhu Lingjie before…

What kind of thoughts or realizations led her to take such a perplexing action?

Shi Hai initially thought she was just a straightforward and simple girl, but now, he felt he couldn’t understand Jian Sichun at all.

She was like an enigma.

“Let the bullets fly for a while…”

Thinking of this famous saying, Shi Hai walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down.

Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie had already left the old dormitory building, with Zhu Lingjie seemingly smiling bitterly as she comforted Jian Sichun.

Then, Jian Sichun raised Zhu Lingjie’s hand high and shouted loudly, “Let’s go back and hold a strategy meeting!”

It seemed she had already perked up.

Shi Hai was most concerned about Jian Sichun’s purpose for doing this.

She had said that finding Shi Hai a girlfriend was her wish, out of concern for her good friend.

But now, it seemed that it wasn’t just “concern for a friend”; there was a compelling reason for her actions.

This was the most crucial clue, which could fully unravel the mystery that was Jian Sichun.

“Guess who~”

A pair of hands covered Shi Hai’s eyes from behind, the soft touch making him pause his thoughts.

The fragrance coming from behind had a unique freshness with a hint of sweetness.

The cheerful tone conveyed the playful mindset of the person.

“Senior, do you know your voice is quite distinctive?”

“Oh? How so?”

“It’s just distinctive.”

It sounded like a somewhat NSFW ASMR voice, whispered close to his ear, making his heart itch.

“So, did it make your heart race?”

“Almost gave me a heart attack.”

“Junior, you’re quite honest. But… if you don’t completely call out my name, I won’t let go.”

“Please let go, Senior Tian Shui.”

“Okay~~”

After Tian Shui let go, Shi Hai turned around.

Although he had guessed who it was, he was still stunned when he saw Tian Shui.

The reason was that Tian Shui had changed her hair color.

Yesterday’s striking blonde hair had turned black, with a white wide headband.

Her outfit had also changed: a white tight dress paired with a dark red round-neck long-sleeve coat… but the most eye-catching was the semi-transparent black tights.

She was going for a ‘pure’ combined with ‘seductive’ style.

“Uh… Senior Tian Shui?”

Tian Shui brushed her hair aside and smiled, tilting her head. “How is it? Does it suit me?”

“It gives a completely different vibe.”

Yesterday, Tian Shui somewhat gave off a ‘bad girl’ vibe, but today she looked like a ‘pure senior,’ with only the ‘seductive’ part remaining unchanged.

It was amazing how just changing hair color and clothes could alter one’s impression so much, yet the core seemed unchanged.

Shi Hai found it quite fascinating.

But why did she suddenly dye her hair?

Did she have a breakup?

When a girl changes her hairstyle, it often means there’s a problem in her love life.

This topic was prone to mishaps, so Shi Hai didn’t plan to delve deeper.

However, if Tian Shui would let Shi Hai off so easily, she wouldn’t be Tian Shui.

“Is that all you have to say? Be more specific; how does it feel different?”

Shi Hai avoided discussing it and instead sincerely said, “Actually, I think blonde hair really suits you, Senior.”

“I think so too.”

“Then why dye it black?”

“Although blonde hair is beautiful, it inevitably gives a frivolous, playful impression, lacking a bit of authority. Besides…”

Tian Shui placed her hand on Shi Hai’s shoulder and once again leaned close to his ear and whispered.

“You definitely wouldn’t walk with a beautiful blonde girl because it would attract too much attention.”

“……”

After saying this, Tian Shui took half a step back, smiling as she looked at the silent Shi Hai.

Shi Hai felt as if he had been seen through again.

But even this was just a superficial reason.

The real reason Tian Shui changed her hair color was simple.

It was because Shi Hai preferred black hair over blonde.

That’s all.

“So, I specifically dyed my hair for you.”

“I’m flattered.”

Shi Hai remained unfazed; his defenses were too strong.

He was almost completely immune to this level of teasing.

Seeing him unmoved, Tian Shui pouted and complained.

“Really, not cute at all. At least blush a little~”

“Blushing isn’t something you can control.”

“True, to make you blush, I’d need to prepare something more ‘serious’…”

Tian Shui squinted her eyes, a meaningful smile on her lips, and licked her upper lip with her red tongue.

She was truly skilled at seducing men; just a word and a gesture could make men imagine things.

In the face of sexiness, cuteness was insignificant!

Even Shi Hai’s heart was stirred.

Tian Shui indeed had a fatal allure for all men.

She reached out, using her finger to trace circles on Shi Hai’s chest, marking the general area of his heart.

Just as she was about to say, “Let Senior comfort your wounded heart,” Shi Hai turned his head, pointing to his face.

“By ‘method,’ do you mean slapping me directly?”

“Pfft—!”

Tian Shui couldn’t help but laugh.

Because now, Shi Hai was indeed ‘blushing.’

But the area that was red…

Was just the size of a palm.
