I am just an ordinary person! Why do you like me?

Time seemed to be frozen at this moment. The girl in his arms looked at him in a daze. She didn't seem to understand why Yi Xingchen appeared here.

Yi Xingchen didn't know why it was always such a coincidence that every time Shi Chenchen needed help, he happened to be there.

Everything was so coincidental, and he attributed it to——

fate.

He looked at the girl in his arms indifferently. The distance was so close that he could clearly see the long and slightly curled eyelashes on the girl's slightly raised eyelids.

Under the eyelashes are slightly stunned amber eyes, reflecting the soft afternoon sunlight, showing clear eyes with the texture of glass beads.

Then there was a sound of falling ground beside me.

Yi Xingchen's thoughts were pulled back. He looked in the direction of the sound and found that the book that the girl had been holding tightly in her hand had fallen to the ground at some point.

The pages of the book were wide open, and the wind from outside the window rushed in, blowing the pages over and over, making a rustling sound.

Yi Xingchen seemed to realize that the current posture was too ambiguous, so after waiting for Shi Chenchen to stand firm, he immediately let her go.

He picked up the book that the girl had dropped on the ground, brushed off the water stains and dust on it, and handed it to her.

With a slightly apologetic smile on his face and a clear and bright voice, he asked:

"Are you okay?"

The girl in his arms looked up at him and shook her head slightly.

He then smiled and showed his hands to Shi Chenchen.

Shi Chenchen also looked over and found that when he was patting the book just now, Yi Xingchen's palm was accidentally stained with some dirt.

She looked quietly at Yi Xingchen's fair and thin palm. The sunlight seeped through, and the palm lines were clear and distinct.

Maybe it was because his skin was too white, or maybe it was because he had just used some force to catch her, but the knuckles of his palms were faintly flushed.

At this moment, such pure hands were stained with a little filth, which inexplicably gave them a charming feeling...

But Shi Chenchen only felt a pang of guilt in his heart.

If only she had been more careful.

Shi Chenchen tilted his head, took out a small pack of tissues from his sweatshirt pocket, and pulled out one.

With Yi Xingchen looking slightly surprised, she gently grabbed his hand and wiped the dirt off his palm with a tissue.

Yi Xingchen looked at the girl in front of him, lowered his head slightly, and carefully wiped his palms, including his knuckles.

The girl had slightly drooped eyelashes and a focused look on her face, as if she was completing something very important.

Yes, she takes everything so seriously.

Whether it was a previous performance on stage or an e-sports competition...

Originally, Yi Xingchen showed her the dirt on his palms just to explain that he was going to the bathroom to wash his hands.

The result was unexpected...

Feeling the soft warmth of their skin touching, he lowered his eyes and looked at the girl quietly, allowing her to wipe him clean.

Then, she let go of his hand again.

When the last trace of warm breath left his palm, he inexplicably felt a slight sense of loss.

The girl raised her head slightly, her pure and delicate face slightly tilted upward, looking at the expectant look in her eyes, as if to say:

"I helped you clean it up, so I think I've made up for it."

Yi Xingchen looked at Shi Chenchen's face with amusement. He said softly with a faint smile:

"Thanks to you, my hands are clean."

"You can go back to your seat with your book. I just came here to return the book."

Shi Chenchen looked at the original gap opposite the bookshelf, which was now filled.

I suddenly realized that this is what was happening.

She also wondered why it was such a coincidence that every time she needed help, he always appeared by her side.

Last time in the infirmary, I helped her get the bandages from the high cabinet.

This time, he caught her when she was about to fall to the ground.

Looking at the still gentle face of the boy in front of her, she moved her lips and was about to speak, but when she raised her eyes, she met those clear eyes with distinct black and white.

His beautiful eyes seemed to be naturally affectionate. The tiny light from the window refracted through the ends of his hair, and he seemed very focused when looking at people.

He is worthy of being the school hunk that countless girls like. Obviously, there is no relationship between the two of them, but when he just looks at you quietly, it will inexplicably make people have the illusion of being cherished.

Shi Chenchen lowered his eyelashes to resist the charming attack from the school hunk, then smiled and said lightly:

"Then, I'll go back first."

Yi Xingchen nodded.

...

Shi Chenchen returned to her seat. Bai Chulan looked up at her and said silently, "Are you back?"

She smiled and nodded. Although Bai Chulan was a little confused as to why Shi Chenchen had been gone for so long, but when he saw that she was holding a book in her hand, he thought that she was choosing the book seriously and did not think much about it.

Shi Chenchen returned to her seat with the book in her hand. She looked at the book in her hand, also known as——

Can people go back to the past?

This is her habit when reading. She will first glance through the table of contents and then read the main text.

The book introduces a hypothesis about whether humans can go back to the past, which is different from the previous statements that going back to the past is only possible if the speed of light is exceeded.

This book begins its analysis from the perspective of the future.

The book assumes that if there is a supreme god in the entire universe, it is he who fabricated the cause and effect of all things and the reincarnation of all things.

And human beings are the result of the combination of various particles.

Suppose we use a computer to randomly generate Chinese characters, there could be countless possible results.

But precisely because of this, in the infinitely distant future, this computer will be able to compile an entire "Xinhua Dictionary".

But now the database of the computer of the universe is not large enough, so it is impossible to rearrange a group of disordered particles into an identical world.

But as long as it is given enough time, when the entropy of the universe gradually approaches infinity, the universe will be in chaos and finally return to silence again.

When the universe once again ushers in the infinite future after the Big Bang, the Creator will reorganize and arrange the particles infinitely many times, and a new Earth will be born again, including you and me on Earth.

All the encounters, acquaintances, reunions and departures between us...

They are all within the results of the Creator’s calculations.

Here, human reincarnation is realized, and time is reversed on another level.

...

After reading the whole book, Shi Chenchen felt melancholy.

Perhaps, the encounter with the system from the M789 nebula on the first day of school, as well as the subsequent series of events, were also within the calculations of this "Creator".

Her future has already been determined and seems unchangeable, but she has to follow her heart and move forward step by step.

Don't let yourself feel regretful.

Now that the plot has deviated, there is no external force that can help me.

Then you have to find a way to actively push the plot forward.

...

Yi Xingchen returned to his seat.

Now all his study tasks have been completed.

He leaned back in his chair, browsing his phone, and looked at Shi Chenchen who was sitting diagonally opposite him, holding a book in his hand.

Tiny dust particles were floating in the air. The girl sitting by the window flipped through page after page, as if she was oblivious to everything happening around her.

He smiled and took a photo of a sunny corner of the library.

There is another one——

She is reading seriously in the sunshine.
