It Seems I’m Not The Only One Who Reincarnated - Chapter 45: Seriously

When Shi Hai returned home, he noticed that Jian Sichun was no longer in the living room.

However, the coffee had been finished, the cup washed, and her blue and white striped panties had been put away.

It seemed she was no longer sulking.

Shi Hai directly pushed open the door to his room and walked in.

He then saw Jian Sichun hugging his pillow with both arms and legs like a koala, rubbing her face against it and letting out weird, silly giggles.

“Hehe… Hehehe…”

“…”

Seeing Shi Hai enter, Jian Sichun didn’t stop her actions, but her face turned red, and she complained with dissatisfaction.

“You should knock first! Don’t you have a habit of knocking?”

“Why should I knock when entering my own room?”

Shi Hai asked back, puzzled.

Why did she like hugging his pillow so much?

This morning, she had also grabbed it first thing after coming in…

Was his ten-year-old pillow that comfortable?

Jian Sichun was just satisfying her craving.

She couldn’t casually get close to Shi Hai now, so she could only hug things he had used for comfort.

The pillow and the quilt were great, both having a strong Shi Hai scent, making them top-notch.

“Hmph…”

This used to be my room too, but now it’s not…

Thinking of this, Jian Sichun puffed up her cheeks, feeling a bit sour.

Since Jian Sichun was lying on his bed, Shi Hai naturally wouldn’t sit on it.

He sat on his chair, turned on his computer, and said without any romantic sense.

“You can move to your room now. Lingjie and I have finished cleaning.”

Jian Sichun’s first concern wasn’t about the room but about how Shi Hai addressed Zhu Lingjie.

“Wait, you called her Lingjie?”

When two people are alone, progress is quick! In just a while, their terms of address had become more intimate!

“Yeah, since we’re friends now, always using the full name seems distant.”

“Friends already… Even though you were just neighbors who didn’t interact much…”

“You have to get familiar with each other slowly.”

“Then you should call me by my name too!”

“Got it, Sichun. Is that okay?”

“Mm-hmm! Hehe…”

Just being called by her name made Jian Sichun smile foolishly.

Jian Sichun herself was easy to please, having no right to say anything about Zhu Lingjie.

“Hey, Shi Hai…”

“What?”

“Um…”

Jian Sichun rested her chin on the pillow, not knowing how to start.

“Just say it directly, don’t just stare at me. I can’t read minds, you know.”

“It’s just… Does it still hurt?”

“You mean my face?”

“Yeah…”

“Oh, it still hurts, hurts a lot.”

Shi Hai didn’t even bother to act, speaking in a monotone.

“Really?”

But Jian Sichun got nervous.

“Should I rub it for you? Or lick it?”

“Even if it’s swollen, licking won’t help. It’s not a wound.”

She seriously responded to Shi Hai’s sarcastic remark.

“No! It’s because of me that you got hurt…”

“I didn’t get hurt.”

“You said it still hurts!”

Can’t you see I was just teasing?

While Shi Hai was silently complaining, Jian Sichun placed her hand on his face.

“Let me rub it for you.”

Jian Sichun said she would rub it, but it felt more like she was cupping his face and staring at his lips in a daze.

I really want to kiss him…

Jian Sichun could feel her mouth watering, almost drooling.

She pursed her lips, closed her mouth tightly, swallowed her saliva, and gently moved her palms.

“Does this feel better?”

“It’s a bit ticklish… Okay, really, I’m not hurt.”

“That’s good, hehe…”

Jian Sichun withdrew her hand and giggled foolishly again.

She knew Shi Hai wasn’t actually hurt, but she pretended to be responsible just to get close to him…

The pillow was no match for the real thing!

Now, it was time to properly apologize.

Looking at her fingers, Jian Sichun lowered her head and glanced at Shi Hai.

“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to hit you… I just lost my temper…”

“It’s fine, someone already explained it to me.”

“Huh? Was it Lingling?”

“Yes, she kept saying while we were cleaning that you only did it to stand up for her.”

“That’s true, but I shouldn’t have hit you… There were more peaceful ways.”

“A peaceful way I might not have listened to, so you chose to slap me, right?”

“…”

“I know you’re a reincarnated person, so there must be a reason. That slap already showed your determination.”

With arms crossed, Shi Hai indicated he understood completely.

“Anyway, you did it for that wish you mentioned, to find me a girlfriend. I didn’t think you were serious.”

“Ah… Yes! I’m serious!”

Actually, Jian Sichun didn’t think that far at the time.

She just felt she had to help Zhu Lingjie, as if Zhu Lingjie’s failure in confession meant her own would fail too…

Jian Sichun had put herself in Zhu Lingjie’s shoes.

“But you don’t need to play matchmaker for me anymore. Don’t meddle with my love life.”

Shi Hai pointed at his chest with his thumb.

“I’ll find the person I like myself, and I’ll pursue my girlfriend on my own.”

“…”

Jian Sichun was stunned.

A serious Shi Hai was really handsome!

Her heart fluttered, but Shi Hai’s next words brought her back to reality.

“So, I’ll seriously find a girlfriend. You don’t need to worry about it. Just do what you want to do.”

“Is that so… But! I can still give you advice! Even if you like someone, you might not know how to get her contact info!”

“I can get contact info, you’re underestimating me.”

As if to prove his seriousness, Shi Hai took out his phone.

“See, I even got Senior Tian Shui’s contact info. I’m willing to connect with someone so high up; I’m not just brushing you off.”

Actually, Tian Shui had entered her contact info into Shi Hai’s phone herself, but Shi Hai pretended he got it.

“What?! Let me see!”

Jian Sichun grabbed his phone, and the lock screen wallpaper almost made her eyes pop out.

Tian Shui!

She’s so bold!

“What’s this? When was this taken?”

“After you guys left, Senior Tian Shui was hiding in a corner of the rooftop watching us three.”

That vixen—!

“You’re not really going to pursue Senior Tian Shui, are you?”

“Well… Senior Tian Shui has a good figure, is beautiful, seems wealthy, and knows how to have fun. Most men would want her as a girlfriend, right?”

Shi Hai slyly didn’t state his own opinion but shared it from a “most men” perspective.

“No way! She’s the type to just have fun! If you marry her, she’ll definitely cheat!”

Jian Sichun compared them in her mind.

Zhu Lingjie:

• A childhood friend with a fear of men
• Likely her first love and still a virgin

Tian Shui:

• A wealthy woman who seems experienced with men
• Almost no chance of being a virgin or first love

The choice was clear!

Who was more suitable as Shi Hai’s girlfriend was obvious!
