Quick Transmigration: Let Me Tell You, I'm a Social Anxiety Person

Wen Ying tilted her head and said, "No."

Shen Zhu's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

He raised his eyelids, cast a brief glance at the back row, but ultimately said nothing and turned to leave.

Xiao Jiang didn't expect Wen Ying to reject him so decisively, and all the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat.

Wen Ying casually turned a page of her book and said to the driver, "Let's go."

The driver received instructions to start the engine.

But before they could even turn the corner, the people who had already left suddenly returned.

Shen Zhu strode over again, this time he changed the window and knocked politely and gently on Wen Ying's side.

"Give me a ride." This time he looked into her eyes as he spoke, "Consider it something I owe you."

Wen Ying gestured to the driver, the door lock opened, and Shen Zhu opened the car door and got in.

It was winter, and he stepped into the snow. The warm air conditioning turned the snow inside the car into a wet puddle on the carpet.

"..." Shen Zhu looked at the seat next to him. Wen Ying was still reading and did not react to the fact that there was another person next to her.

He glanced down at the water stains at his feet, pursed his lips, and asked, "Do you have any tissues?"

Wen Ying said, "No."

Shen Zhu stopped talking, raising his feet alternately, like a cat that felt unwell after stepping into water.

Seeing this scene in the rearview mirror, Xiao Jiang felt a little embarrassed and took the initiative to help, saying, "Teacher Shen, there are tissues on the shelf to your right."

"Thank you," Shen Zhu said.

He reached for a tissue and bent down, but the water stain had already dried, leaving only a barely noticeable ring.

The sound of pages turning came from beside him. Shen Zhu remained bent over, and after a few seconds, he crumpled the tissue into a ball and casually threw it into the trash can.

"Teacher Shen, you haven't told us where the destination is yet?" came Xiao Jiang's voice from the front row.

Shen Zhu said, "Just like you."

Xiao Jiang was stunned, then turned around: "Are you also going to participate in 'So Loving Us'? Are you the sixth guest to be announced soon?"

Shen Zhu nodded amidst Xiao Jiang's visibly disheveled and flustered state, and the car fell silent.

Wen Ying was completely absorbed in her books, oblivious to everyone else. Shen Zhu pulled his windbreaker up to the top, covering his chin, and took out his phone to play with it.

[Ding, Shen Chi's favorability has increased by 0.05.]

The system prompt sounds.

Wen Ying: [That's strange, they've increased my favorability twice this month.]

The system fell silent, and for a moment it detected a strange sense of gratitude in Wen Ying's tone.

The system suspected she was being driven mad, and reluctantly replied, "I told you, zero is a good start, and things will only get better."

Wen Ying smiled slightly. Yes, she also felt that life was becoming more and more hopeful.

Just as she was silently calculating how many more years it would take to complete the mission at this rate, a voice suddenly came from beside her.

It was Shen Zhu's phone, playing a video from Weibo.

Wen Ying wanted to remind him to keep his voice down, but before she could speak, the car suddenly braked, and Shen Zhu's phone fell off his lap and rolled under the seat.

"I'm sorry," Shen Zhu said immediately, stopping the action of rummaging through his pocket for his earphones.

He apologized quickly, as if he knew he was wrong. Wen Ying didn't say anything and went to get a cup to drink water.

Shen Zhu's phone was still playing sound intermittently: "Then we can see that Director Wen's variety show this time is full of big names, big names, big names, big names... even legal figures with a low exposure rate like SSR have been invited by Director Wen."

"Some might say, 'Hey, haven't those lawbreakers already gone to jail?' But for every big shot who goes, there will be thousands of replacements stepping up. The sixth guest to be announced soon, Shen Zhu, everyone still remembers him for his involvement in school bullying in high school..."

"Does it really take this long to find a phone?"

Wen Ying glanced at Shen Zhu, who was standing still, frowned, and threw the book in her hand at his head.

She nudged him aside: "Don't force yourself if you can't reach it. Asking me for help is nothing shameful."

After she finished speaking, she retrieved the phone that was still talking non-stop and turned off the screen.

"..." Shen Zhu seemed to still be in a daze, and only after Wen Ying took the book off his face did he say "thank you".

After saying that, he pulled his collar up again, pulled his hat over his face, shrank into his seat, and closed his eyes.

Wen Ying glanced at him again, feeling a little annoyed.

She put the book aside and opened the car window a crack to let in some fresh air.

"Sis, won't Teacher Shen catch a cold?" Xiao Jiang asked in a whisper, thinking Shen Zhu was asleep. "What if his agent asks us for medical expenses?"

Wen Ying said, "Don't worry, he's in good health." But she still closed the car window a few seconds later.

Xiao Jiang craned his neck and looked back a few more times, his curious expression like that of someone watching a monkey in a zoo.

She tapped a few times on her phone and texted Wen Ying: "Teacher Shen doesn't seem as fierce as the rumors say. He's actually quite polite."

Wen Ying: "..."

She glanced at the seemingly harmless person slumped in their seat and said, "It's all an act."

Xiao Jiang tapped on her phone again: "The way you're talking, it sounds like you used to know him."

Wen Ying fell silent upon seeing those words.

Yes, I do know them.

Shen Zhu and she have been classmates since they first started learning to speak and entered preschool.

Over the years, the two have become incredibly close. Wen Ying even remembers helping him change his pants when he was in kindergarten because they were inside out.

In Wen Ying's memory, Shen Zhu also had a cute phase.

In kindergarten, he was like a clingy little malt candy, following Wen Ying around calling her "sister" over and over again. He would also secretly hide his share of strawberry milk and stuff it into her blanket during nap time.

But just like how a puppy is most affectionate and adorable when it's young, Shen Zhu suddenly mutated in elementary school, becoming a fearsome monster that climbs up and down.

As he grew older, he gradually came to understand the influence of his family.

Shen Zhu stopped clinging to her and calling her "sister." Gradually, he stopped even calling her by her name. He buried himself in his studies with a strong competitive spirit, wanting to crush the number one student.

The conflict between the two families was irreconcilable, so the two children stood at opposite ends of the spectrum, as if taking another step forward would make them betrayers of the entire family.

The crime was so heinous that Wen Ying dared not bear it, and Shen Zhu also backed down because of it.

The time the two spent together vanished like a dream.
