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

They were afraid that Yu Juan would feel that she was deceiving their feelings, causing their friendship to capsize.

Shen Yue's heart was like that of a bird trapped in a cage, flapping its wings but unable to find a way out.

However, Shen Yue was somewhat relieved that Wang Xia and Yu Juan did not become estranged from her because of this incident.

They were like two rays of warm sunshine, giving Shen Yue immense comfort when she needed them.

Wang Xia seemed to be intentionally avoiding the awkwardness from just now, and gently took Shen Yue's hand.

With a bright smile on her face, she said, "Yueyue, look at that male lead who ultimately sacrificed himself to save the female lead."

"It was so touching when they sacrificed themselves!"

Wang Xia's voice was choked with emotion, and her eyes were glistening with tears, as if she were moved by the love story in the movie.

Yu Juan quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, I almost cried. That scene was so moving."

As Yu Juan spoke, she took a tissue and wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

Her earnest expression made it seem as if a touching scene from a movie was happening right next to her.

Shen Yue forced a smile and said, following their words, "Yes, it's really touching. I didn't expect it to end like this."

Shen Yue's voice was somewhat low, and her gaze did not fall on the faces of her two best friends.

Instead, it hung slightly lower, resting on his trembling fingers.

Her mind was still not on the movie; her thoughts were like a windmill that never stopped turning.

The scene of Guo Miao exposing his lie kept echoing in my mind.

She never imagined that what she thought she could hide from everyone would come to light.

It's unbelievable that it would be so ruthlessly exposed in such a setting.

On the other side, Guo Miao watched the departing figures of Shen Yue and the other two and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The laughter sounded particularly jarring in the quiet entrance of the movie theater, drawing the attention of passersby.

The laughter was full of sarcasm and smugness, as if he had just accomplished something great.

He turned his head and said to Chen Dong beside him, "Brother Dong, did you see that?"

"Shen Yue is still the same as ever, it's really funny. A leopard can't change its spots, she's still so vain and materialistic."

Guo Miao wore a mocking smile of a victor, his eyes filled with disdain for Shen Yue.

Chen Dong's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

There was no mockery or schadenfreude in that smile, only a faint sense of helplessness and tolerance.

He gently shook his head and said, "Guo Miao, there's no need to keep harping on Shen Yue's matter."

"Let her brag if she wants to; it has little to do with us."

Chen Dong's voice was calm and gentle as he tried to persuade Guo Miao to let go of her prejudice against Shen Yue.

Guo Miao shrugged dismissively and said with a pursed lip, "I just can't stand her behavior."

"If I hadn't run into her before, I wouldn't have bothered. But now that I've bumped into her, I'm definitely going to expose her and let her know what she's really made of."

"You have no idea, she used to always target me and never gave me a kind look."

"When we first met, he arrogantly called me Fat Cat."

Guo Miao's face showed a wronged expression, as if he had been greatly wronged before he did so.

At this moment, Yu Qin playfully reached out and poked the fat on Guo Miao's stomach.

He chuckled and joked, "Shen Yue wasn't wrong to call you a fat cat."

"Look at all the fat on you, you're practically a small hill. You really should lose some weight."

Yu Qin's voice was clear and crisp, with a hint of mischievous smugness.

She tapped Guo Miao's stomach rhythmically a few times with her fingers, her face full of teasing smiles.

Upon hearing this, Guo Miao immediately stopped smiling and his face fell.

She retorted with a displeased look, "I call it being easygoing and having a healthy body, don't you understand?"

"Besides, losing weight is too hard, I don't want to."

"Besides, this is called a sign of wealth and nobility, you know? Many people can't even dream of having it!"

Guo Miao puffed out her belly, seemingly wanting to prove that her point of view was correct.

His eyes held a stubbornness and a refusal to back down.

"You're just lazy and always making excuses."

Yu Qin smiled and rolled her eyes at him, her eyes full of helplessness towards Guo Miao.

It was as if Guo Miao was a child who would never grow up in her eyes.

As Yu Qin spoke, she reached out and pinched Guo Miao's cheek.

Like dealing with a disobedient child, a mocking smile appeared on his face again.

Guo Miao reached out to slap Yu Qin's hand away, but Yu Qin nimbly dodged it.

So the two of them started playfully bickering and exchanging words.

As Guo Miao reached out to grab Yu Qin, he said, panting, "You naughty girl, I'll catch you."

Yu Qin dodged while laughing and shouting, "Come on, come on, you can't catch me, you can't catch me!"

Looking at Guo Miao and Yu Qin, this pair of lively characters, Chen Dong and Chu Mengran exchanged a smile, their eyes full of doting affection and helplessness.

Chen Dong shook his head helplessly and said, "These two are always so irresponsible, like children who never grow up."

Chu Mengran smiled and nodded, saying, "They can bring us a lot of fun too."

Chu Mengran gently took Chen Dong's arm, her arm softly resting against his.

He said with a smile, "Let's not stand here anymore, let's go shopping in the commercial street, it's been a long time since we've been here."

Chu Mengran's voice was gentle, and her eyes held a sense of anticipation.

It was as if endless beauty awaited them on the streets of the commercial district.

Chen Dong nodded and said gently, "Okay, let's go and see if there's anything you like."

Chen Dong's voice was full of doting affection. He turned his body slightly to make Chu Mengran more comfortable holding him.

Then the two of them walked briskly toward the shopping street.

Chu Mengran and Chen Dong walked and walked until they came to the entrance of a bookstore.

Chu Mengran's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, this bookstore looks really nice!"

Chen Dong followed Chu Mengran's gaze and said with a smile, "Then let's go in and take a look."

They entered the bookstore, where a faint scent of ink and paper filled the air.

The bookshelves are filled with all kinds of books, from literary classics to best-selling novels.

From historical biographies to popular science books, there's something for everyone.

Chu Mengran excitedly wandered among the bookshelves, picking up a book every now and then to browse through it.

He muttered to himself, "This book seems quite interesting."

Chen Dong followed behind her at a leisurely pace, a gentle smile appearing on his face as he watched her focused expression.

After browsing the books in the bookstore for a while, the four of them left.

I wandered aimlessly down the commercial street.

Just then, Yu Qin and Guo Miao's voices came from ahead.

Yu Qin exclaimed excitedly, "Look at this! This dress is so beautiful!"

Guo Miao walked over to Yu Qin, looked at the dress in her hand, and said, "It's really nice, it suits you very well."
