It Seems I’m Not The Only One Who Reincarnated - Chapter 42: I'm Not His Pet Yet

After calming her mind, Tianshui turned from defense to offense and reached out to take out the cell phone from Shi Hai’s pocket.

“Let’s exchange contact information first~”

“The lock screen pattern is 456732819.”

Shi Hai wasn’t worried, knowing there was nothing incriminating on his phone, so he let her handle it.

“You obviously don’t have any secrets in your phone, so why do you set such a complicated pattern?”

“I just got used to it.”

Tian Shui already knew his lock screen pattern.

The speed at which she swiped indicated she had entered it countless times before.

Initially, she had gone to great lengths to get his phone to find some dirt on him, only to find it completely clean.

To lure him in, she even saved her selfies on his phone, which he promptly deleted.

Tian Shui was annoyed, thinking, “How dare he delete my private photos?”

Her determination grew stronger, and her photos became increasingly provocative…

By the time she realized what she was doing, she had foolishly handed him compromising material.

If Shi Hai wanted, he could have spread those intimate photos and ruined her reputation, but he didn’t.

At the time, Tian Shui was relieved, thinking, “Hmph, he’s a gentleman after all.”

Later, she learned that Shi Hai was worse than a beast; he simply disdained such underhanded tactics.

But now, things were different. She had gained the “senior” status and was no longer his enemy, so Shi Hai wouldn’t delete her photos anymore.

After adding her phone number and chat ID, marking them as special contacts, Tian Shui took a seductive selfie with Shi Hai’s phone, setting it as both the wallpaper and lock screen before returning it.

This was the first “Tian Shui photo” after her rebirth.

Shi Hai glanced at the screen, which showed a tantalizing glimpse of her cleavage,and the upper half of the face was deliberately not captured, making her tongue the focus.

Despite being less revealing than a swimsuit photo, the composition had an inexplicable allure that made him take a few extra looks.

In this era, not many people used smartphones, and even fewer knew how to take selfies, making this vertical pose and angle quite novel.

In the future, phone selfies and videos would be developed into countless styles.

Tian Shui smirked, knowing she had countless seductive poses up her sleeve, enough to last a year without repeating the same pose.

Shi Hai, being a young college student, was no saint. He might have strong willpower, but everyone has a limit, right?

Like a crow drinking water, dropping stones named “sexy selfies,” one day, the water would overflow.

“If you’re lonely, you can always contact me. I may not always be free, but I’ll make time for you.”

Implying “you’re special to me” was something an innocent young man couldn’t resist.

“Got it. Let’s stay in touch then, senior. I’ll head back now.”

What? He’s leaving already? I made such an advance, and he’s not taking action?

He seemed to have taken the bait, but it was just a feint!

Seeing Shi Hai turn to leave, Tian Shui couldn’t help but call out.

“Wait! You don’t have classes this afternoon, right?”

“No, but I’ll head home first.”

Tian Shui frowned, realizing he was still concerned about Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie.

“Far relatives are not as good as near neighbors…”

Looks like I need to move closer too…

“Oh, senior.”

Shi Hai’s voice brought her back, and she saw him waving his phone at her with a smile.

“The selfie is sexy, thanks for the gift.”

“—!”

Thump thump thump…

After Shi Hai left, Tian Shui bent over, pounding her chest.

How fast was her heartbeat just now?

Damn it—!

It’s just like yesterday!

One compliment from him and her heart couldn’t stop racing.

“Whew… I need to forget those humiliating memories first…”

Otherwise, let alone making him bow down to her, she might knelt down to him and become his pet first.

That can’t happen!

Tian Shui squatted, covering her face with her hands, trying to hypnotize herself.

“Stay awake! Tian Shui!”

“I can do this…”

“He’s not that terrifying opponent yet…”

“I haven’t lost yet, I’m not his pet yet…”

…

After buying some groceries, Shi Hai returned home to find someone there.

Judging by the shoes, both Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie were in his house.

And judging by his closed room door, they were likely in his room.

They really treated this place as their own, even going into his room without hesitation…

Shi Hai sighed, realizing he might have no privacy in the future.

Instead of heading to his room, he first arranged the new slippers in the living room.

Then, he set up toothbrushes, towels, and cups for his new sisters in the bathroom.

Finally, he moved the coffee table and placed the cleaned and dried carpet back in place.

All this took about five minutes.

The two in his room had obviously heard the door open but were waiting for Shi Hai to come in.

When he didn’t, they became anxious.

After five minutes, they couldn’t sit still and exchanged glances before deciding to go out together.

They found Shi Hai making coffee, preparing three cups.

Seeing he wasn’t angry and was his usual self, Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie felt even more ashamed.

They had prepared to be scolded.

“Uh… you’re back…”

Zhu Lingjie managed a forced smile, while Jian Sichun turned her head away, avoiding his gaze.

“Yeah, put on your slippers.”

“Ah… you bought slippers?”

“Yeah, since there’ll be more people in the house from now on.”

Shi Hai had bought several pairs, choosing cute animal designs that girls might like.

Zhu Lingjie put on bunny slippers, while Jian Sichun chose cat slippers.

“Sit down.”

They obediently sat on the sofa, holding hands to calm their nerves.

Shi Hai pushed two cups of coffee towards them and placed the sugar jar nearby, indicating they could add as much as they liked.

“And this, take it.”

It was the blue and white striped underwear he had folded while arranging the carpet.

Jian Sichun was even more embarrassed, her toes curling as she stayed silent.

She wanted to apologize.

She had impulsively slapped Shi Hai.

But the more she thought about it, the more she regretted it.

She still wanted to help Zhu Lingjie but could have chosen a less drastic method…

She must have had a lapse in judgment.

Maybe she knew Shi Hai well, but from his perspective, Jian Sichun was just a ‘friend of two days.’

Slapping someone, even among good friends, could lead to a fallout, let alone new acquaintances.

She didn’t want Shi Hai to dislike her; just the thought of him looking at her in disgust or hatred is enough for her to think of killing herself.

The atmosphere was suffocating for her.

Finally, when she couldn’t hold back her apology, Shi Hai spoke.

“I thought about it seriously, and you’re right.”

“…Huh?”

Jian Sichun looked at him in disbelief.

Shi Hai thanked her.

“Thank you, that slap woke me up quite a bit.”
