Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Before long, they arrived at the building where Chu Mengran lived.

Chen Dong parked the car, straightened his collar, and gently patted his clothes, trying to erase the non-existent wrinkles.

He took a deep breath and steadily walked upstairs.

When Chen Dong arrived at Chu Mengran's door, he raised his hand to knock, but the door creaked open from the inside.

Chu Mengran appeared before Chen Dong like a flower blooming in the morning.

She was wearing a light blue dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her movements.

Her long, flowing hair cascaded over her shoulders, and a sweet smile graced her face.

Her big eyes sparkled, as if they held a sky full of stars.

"Chen Dong, you're here so early!"

Chu Mengran's clear voice rang out, like a mountain spring, instantly flowing into Chen Dong's heart.

Chen Dong scratched his head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "I... I wanted to see you as soon as possible, so I came here without hesitation."

"Besides, I want to go to school with you, so I can have company on the way."

Chu Mengran's cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her head gently and said reproachfully, "You're so sweet-talking."

Chen Dong quickly took Chu Mengran's schoolbag, put it on his shoulder, and then gestured for her to come.

"Your Highness, your carriage is ready. Let's set off."

Chu Mengran burst out laughing at his joke, and the two walked downstairs side by side.

Arriving at the bicycle, Chen Dong stepped on first, then turned to look at Chu Mengran and patted the back seat: "Get on, my personal passenger."

Chu Mengran carefully sat in the back seat, gently grasping Chen Dong's clothes with both hands.

Chen Dong felt the gentle touch behind him, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up. He said softly, "Sit tight, we're off!"

The wheels rolled slowly, spinning faster and faster.

Along the way, a gentle breeze ruffled their hair, and Chen Dong would occasionally speak, sharing interesting things he saw along the way.

"Look over there, that little dog is chasing its own tail, isn't it adorably silly?"

Chu Mengran looked in the direction he was pointing and laughed, saying, "Yes, it's so interesting."

After a while, Chen Dong said again, "I read a really interesting book last night. It tells a lot of wonderful adventure stories. I'll tell you about it when I have time."

Chu Mengran's eyes lit up: "Really? That's great! I love listening to stories."

The two chatted back and forth, their laughter filling the air along the way.

Occasionally, when encountering a small pothole, causing the bicycle to lurch slightly, Chu Mengran would instinctively gasp in surprise.

Chen Dong would immediately comfort him, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Before we knew it, the school gates were right in front of us.

Chen Dong slowly stopped his bicycle, and Chu Mengran jumped off. The two stood facing each other, their eyes meeting, and for a moment they were reluctant to look away.

"Thank you for taking me to school, Chen Dong. I'm very happy today."

Chu Mengran's voice was as gentle as a mirror.

Chen Dong said with a smile, "I'm very happy too. How about I pick you up every day from now on?"

Chu Mengran blushed, nodded gently, and smiled sweetly, "Okay."

Sunlight streamed onto the campus paths as Chen Dong and Chu Mengran walked hand in hand into the classroom.

Throughout the morning's lessons, their eyes would often meet unintentionally, conveying little secrets that only they could understand.

During the break, Guo Miao came over again: "Dong-ge, Chu Mengran, you two are so lovey-dovey, it's making single people envious."

Chen Dong laughed and said, "Don't be so jealous, you'll be fine once you find a girlfriend."

Chu Mengran blushed and scolded, "Guo Miao, stop teasing us."

At noon, everyone went to the cafeteria.

After Chen Dong and Chu Mengran got their food, they deliberately found a corner to sit down.

Chen Dong handed the chopsticks to Chu Mengran and said carefully, "Mengran, try this dish, and this soup too, it's very delicious."

Chu Mengran took the chopsticks, took a bite, and her eyes were filled with happiness.

"It's delicious, Chen Dong, you should have some too."

They ate while sharing interesting things that happened in class that day.

Chen Dong said with a smile, "When the math teacher was explaining the problem today, he actually got himself into a trap, and the whole class laughed."

Chu Mengran covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Yes, I saw it too. The teacher seems a little confused today."

At this moment, on the other side of the cafeteria, Shen Yue sat between Wang Xia and Yu Juan.

Her gaze kept drifting towards the direction where Chen Dong and Chu Mengran were.

She saw Chen Dong gently wipe the rice grains from the corner of Chu Mengran's mouth, and saw Chu Mengran blush because of Chen Dong's little joke.

Her heart felt like it was being pricked by countless needles.

Wang Xia noticed Shen Yue's mood and said softly, "Yueyue, stop looking. It will only make you feel worse."

Shen Yue bit her lip, her voice a little hoarse: "I just want to see why I didn't know how to cherish it back then."

Yu Juan sighed: "Yueyue, it's too late for you to regret it now. Chen Dong only has Chu Mengran in his heart."

Shen Yue's eyes reddened: "I know, I know everything. Chen Dong was so good to me back then, and I always thought he was just taking it for granted."

“If I hadn’t been so willful and hadn’t looked down on him so much, I would be the one with him now.”

Meanwhile, Chen Dong and Chu Mengran's sweet relationship continues.

Chen Dong quietly took a small candy out of his pocket and handed it to Chu Mengran: "Mengran, this candy is very sweet. I saw it this morning and wanted to bring it to you."

Chu Mengran accepted it with delight: "How did you know that this is my favorite candy?"

Chen Dong smiled and said, "You mentioned it once before, and I remembered it."

After finishing their meal, they walked out of the cafeteria.

Chen Dong took Chu Mengran's hand: "Mengran, let's go for a walk in the garden."

Chu Mengran nodded and walked towards the garden under Chen Dong's guidance.

The flowers in the garden were in full bloom. Chen Dong picked a small flower and tucked it into Chu Mengran's hair: "Mengran, you're so beautiful."

Chu Mengran touched the flower in her hair and said shyly, "You're just good at sweet talk."

Shen Yue, along with Wang Xia and Yu Juan, also arrived at the garden.

She hid behind a tree, silently watching Chen Dong and Chu Mengran.

Watching them frolic among the flowers, watching them snuggle together.

Her regret grew stronger and stronger.

Chen Dong and Chu Mengran walked to the bench in the garden and sat down.

Chen Dong gently put his arm around Chu Mengran's shoulder: "Mengran, I feel like the happiest person in the world right now."

Chu Mengran leaned on his shoulder: "Me too, Chen Dong. I hope we can stay like this forever."

As Shen Yue watched their figures disappear, tears finally streamed down her face.

She knew she had lost the happiness that once belonged to her, and that she had lost it all by her own hand.
