Finally, Su Jing officially moved into the Jiang family's home as a niece. That night, as she lay in bed, she felt like everything was a dream. Rebirth, his unexpected approach... Everything felt just like the fantasy she had had in her past life, when she sat in the classroom, secretly peeking at the handsome boy by the window.

I had longed to be by his side every day. Just being by his side, seeing his face every moment, was enough for me. But now, I was actually lying in his house, only a ceiling away from him. And in the room, the neatly arranged books on the desk, the folded T-shirts in the closet, the neatly ironed jeans, were all his work. He had sorted them all for me when I was out for painting class.

The large drawing board and rice paper in his study were also bought by him. The ugly plastic film and old bed sheets were also invented by him, cursing and complaining, to make things easier for himself. He was such a mysophobe, yet he could actually make his study look like a rag collector's house just for his own sake.

She had never thought of all this in her previous life, and she still hadn't thought of it in this life, but it was exactly what she saw before her eyes. Su Jing couldn't understand why his attitude towards her had changed so much. Was it just because she knew how to show off her beautiful body now, or because she told him to give up pursuing him?

Su Jing also wondered if the several times of physical contact had triggered an instinctive reaction in him, so he did something to pave the way for something to happen. However, from her own observation, Jiang Yi didn't show any signs of wanting to do anything to her when he was with her, or of wanting to do anything to her.

Furthermore, Su Jing had tried to find him several times, but found no signs of him being reborn. Rebirth itself was unthinkable. Two people being reborn at the same time, two people who had been separated by life and death, returning to the same place and time simultaneously, this should be even more impossible, right?

After that day, the two of them seemed to truly live together like siblings. Su Jing continued to study diligently, and Jiang Yi began chatting and laughing with the girls who passed him love letters, and going out to play. However, he would come home early every day, rushing to finish his homework with her before Su Jing went to bed.

Not only in school, they also don't talk much at home. When they don't go out, Jiang Yi often sits quietly in the study with a game console and plays it. He looks up at her from time to time, then gently curls the corners of his mouth and continues playing games.

That day, Jiang Yi rushed into the classroom just as the first-period bell rang. It was already late autumn, and the weather had already turned cooler. When he sat down, a breeze blew up, mixing with the scent of sweat and shower gel, and it went straight into Su Jing's nose.

This semester, since the beginning of the semester, he would go to the playground every day after putting down his schoolbag and would not come back for the entire morning reading period. Su Jing had become accustomed to him coming in every day with his own unique scent, and she could not help but sniff hard.

This smells good.

Jiang Yi had never noticed Su Jing's subtle movements before, but today, he somehow noticed her sniffing when he glanced at her a little longer. Suddenly, a brilliant smile broke out on his face.

"Hmm?" Jiang Yi made a questioning sound, stopped wiping the sweat off his hands, put his head on the table, and moved slowly like a snail to Su Jing's side. He blinked a few times and looked at her with a naughty smile.

"What?" Su Jing immediately turned her gaze to his face and asked.

"Do I smell good?" Jiang Yi said with certainty. He deliberately dragged out the words and said, "There's something wrong with you, little girl."

"Psycho." Su Jing was embarrassed. Damn, he could see this. It was really embarrassing. It made her look like a pervert. But she remained calm and cursed softly.

"Tell me, do I smell good? Are you quietly absorbing my essence every day? You old demon from Black Mountain." Jiang Yi said with a wicked smile.

"Go away, what do you smell like? No way." Su Jing withdrew her gaze from him, her eyes flickering, and said guiltily.

"Hmm, this is the smell of hormones." Jiang Yi squeezed closer to her again.

Indeed, the smell was immediately obvious, and Su Jing felt a slight tingling sensation in her heart.

Sensing the change in Su Jing's breathing, Jiang Yi's mischievous smile grew even brighter. "How does it feel? Does it smell good? Is it more exciting than what's described in the novel?"

"Get out!" Su Jing tried to keep her expression normal and growled at him in a low voice.

"No, I have to go to class and can't leave." Jiang Yi supported his head with his hands and looked at her from the side. He was in a very good mood. He really liked teasing her now. Seeing her hard expression was really interesting.

She obviously still likes me, but she insists on saying that she no longer likes me and wants to study hard. Humph, is there a conflict between liking me and studying hard?

Chen Yifei in front heard him talking, turned around and looked at him, with an expression on his face that said: You two are together after all.

"What are you looking at?" the two asked at the same time.

"You two..." Chen Yifei's eyes jumped between their faces.

"Turn around." They both said at the same time.

Chen Yifei curled his lips, a meaningful smile playing across his face as he slowly turned away. He even muttered to himself, "Hmph, I knew there was something wrong with you two." His voice was just loud enough for everyone around him to hear. As a result, everyone within a two-meter radius around them turned their heads to look at them.

"Huh..." Several people let out a long "huh" in unison.

Su Jing's face flushed suddenly, which was rare for her. Her eyes drooped, her eyelashes trembled, and she said weakly, "Are you all sick?"

Seeing her blush, the onlookers all let out a long "Oh..." Huang Chengping was about to speak when Jiang Yi spoke first: "Hey, you too, she and I have been classmates for many years, everyone knows it, you were just joking with her, what were you thinking?"

"Are you really just joking?" Chen Yifei asked with a knowing expression.

"What else? She only does homework all day and has a bad temper. Would it be fun to date her?" Jiang Yi: "She's my buddy. I really need her when I'm fighting."

His words were a bit too revealing, and the people waiting to gossip were all in disbelief. But by then, the teacher had arrived, so everyone had no choice but to end the topic.

Originally, the classmates were just curious and joking. Teenagers at this age are always full of longing for love, but even before love strikes, they're eager to know what other people's love lives are like. There's nothing wrong with chatting about this. However, there are always a few outliers in the crowd who think differently than most and who tend to think the worst of others.

At this moment, several people suddenly heard a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft coming from the two rows in front: "Tsk, if it wasn't puppy love, why would you take the same bus to school every day, and get off early to cover it up." Everyone turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from, but the person didn't say another word.

The people in the front seemed to be concentrating on their own things and didn't notice the ones behind them at all. Unable to identify who it was, they looked at each other, turned around and sat down, and didn't continue the topic.

Jiang Yi and Su Jing also looked at each other and communicated with their eyes: "Who do you think this person is?"

It’s not their fault that they couldn’t guess who was speaking. After all, the person’s voice sounded androgynous, and a bit nasal, as if he was deliberately pinching his nose while speaking.

Su Jing only chatted occasionally with a few people around her, and Jiang Yi only hung out with a few troublemakers. Everyone knew that a good half of every class was just a supporting role, with average grades, average looks, and unremarkable personalities. Often, after a semester, no one could even remember their faces or names, let alone their voices.

The person who just spoke should be such an unknown person. With this sudden remark, no one could immediately guess who it was. The two looked at each other and shrugged at the same time, saying, "I don't know either."

"Class is in session." The teacher's voice sounded at the right time, and the matter was put aside for the time being.

Su Jing had to go to painting class today, and Jiang Yi didn't go home right after school. Instead, he called Chen Yifei and found a place to play games. Chen Yifei missed the entrance exam to No. 9 Middle School by two points. Although his score was slightly higher than Jiang Yi's, he had paid several thousand yuan to get into the school, so his enthusiasm for studying was far less than his passion for playing games.

And because Jiang Yi usually pays for everything he invites people to play, no matter what they play, he happily agrees when Jiang Yi asks him today, even though he thinks the arcade Jiang Yi picked is a bit far away. He doesn't bother to think about why, he just feels so happy to have someone pay for him to play.

In the 1990s, the economy was just beginning to develop, and many families were struggling, so naturally, children received less pocket money. The sheer number of new gadgets that had just appeared was incredibly tempting for young people, who wanted to try everything but didn't have the wherewithal. Naturally, a son like Jiang Yi, who didn't care about money, would have many friends.

The game hall they went to was near the home of the teacher Su Jing attended. Chen Yifei certainly hadn't thought about why Jiang Yi would come so far to play here. There was a very good game hall near the school.

After entering the arcade, Jiang Yidi walked up to the counter and said directly to the clerk, "One hundred!" After receiving a bag full of game coins, he grabbed half of them without even looking at them and handed them to Chen Yifei, saying proudly, "Here, that's all. After this round, you have to go home and do your homework."

Ordinary students don't have much pocket money on a daily basis, and usually have to work hard to save up for a week or two before they can sneak out to play for a while. Chen Yifei is no different. Due to limited funds, he can only buy a dozen game coins at most to satisfy his addiction.

Now seeing that Jiang Yi, the young master of a rich family, was so generous as to give him dozens of game coins at once, Chen Yifei was so happy that his face was as bright as a flower. He raised his right hand to salute Jiang Yi and responded loudly: "Okay!" After that, he turned around and went to find the game console he had long admired.

At that moment, two of the latest motorcycle arcade machines, positioned at the entrance of the arcade, were particularly eye-catching. Their sleek, life-size motorcycle bodies shone with captivating light, accompanied by the deep, soul-stirring roar of motorcycles, making it seem as if two real supercars were parked there. Passersby would slow down and take a second look. Although the game required a full three coins per spin, it still couldn't stop the enthusiastic players. People were constantly riding the machines, so anyone hoping to try one had to wait in line.

Jiang Yi walked straight to the end of the line and waited quietly, occasionally looking outside the game hall, as if waiting for someone.
