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

"Chen Dong, look, it's flying so high, it's like it's carrying our dreams with it."

Chen Dong gently put his arm around Chu Mengran's waist and laughed, "Yes, our dreams will soar higher and higher like this rocket."

"No matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we must work together to realize our dreams."

Chu Mengran leaned against Chen Dong's chest and nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes, I believe we can definitely do it."

Finally, Chen Dong took out a firework.

He handed one to Chu Mengran, and the two lit it together.

Holding fireworks that burst into brilliant light, the two waved the fireworks in their hands, making various shapes.

"Chen Dong, look at the heart I drew."

Chu Mengran said with a smile.

Chen Dong looked at the heart Chu Mengran had drawn and smiled as he waved the firework in his hand.

Then, next to the heart drawn by Chu Mengran, an even larger heart was drawn, surrounding the heart drawn by Chu Mengran.

"My love has wrapped you up, and I will always protect you in my love."

Chu Mengran's eyes welled up with tears.

She put down the fireworks in her hand and hugged Chen Dong tightly.

"Chen Dong, I really love you so much."

Chen Dong hugged her back tightly.

"I love you too, Mengran, I will always love you."

Fireworks continued to bloom in the square, and Chen Dong and Chu Mengran were immersed in this sweet atmosphere.

They are enjoying their precious time.

It was as if everything in the world was irrelevant to them, except for each other and the magnificent fireworks.

This sweet dog food was so delicious that even a passing dog burped after seeing it.

The twelfth day of the first lunar month.

The warm winter sun lazily poured down on every inch of Sanxi Village, casting a warm glow over this tranquil little village.

However, Shen Yue's mind was completely absorbed in her own little world, and she was not at all moved by the tranquil rural scenery.

She quietly shouldered her bag and bid farewell once again to that slightly dilapidated home.

She left behind the familiar eaves, the old doors and windows, and the friendly greetings from her neighbors.

With mixed and conflicted feelings, she embarked on her journey to Wang Xia's home.

Along the way, the car bumped and jolted along the winding road.

The swaying of the car body was like a chaotic symphony, making Shen Yue's already disordered thoughts even more tangled.

She leaned against the car window, her gaze somewhat vacant as she stared at the receding street scene outside.

But the image of Tao Hao, who had once haunted her dreams, involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Once, they strolled hand in hand along the tree-lined paths of the campus.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on them, as if the whole world had shrunk down to just the two of them.

They discussed their dreams for the future and shared the little things in their lives.

Those beautiful memories are like dazzling stars, embedded in Shen Yue's heart.

But now, a semester apart has made Tao Hao, who was once perfect in my heart, seem somewhat unfamiliar.

Those "flaws" that could once be tolerated without limit are now accumulating in her heart like a snowball.

Shen Yue had no idea what Tao Hao had gone through this semester.

Does he still hold onto that burning heart, waiting to meet her again, just as he did before?

Upon arriving at Wang Xia's home, Shen Yue was seated in a guest room.

She lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did.

Her eyes were wide open, filled with hesitation and confusion.

The scales in my heart are swinging violently, like a small boat in a storm, which could capsize at any moment.

Should we go find Tao Hao or not?

She asked herself silently in her heart.

Tao Hao is no longer the perfect, flawless ideal in her heart.

She once thought that Tao Hao's strengths could cover up all his weaknesses, and she was willing to tolerate all his little flaws for him.

But now, as time goes by and her mindset changes, those shortcomings that were once ignored have begun to grow larger in her mind.

"But,"

Shen Yue thought of the warmth and emotion that Tao Hao had once given her.

"Everyone has completed a semester of university, found a rich 'simp,' and their lives have improved."

"Through his own efforts, Chen Dong started a business and made a fortune in just one semester."

"Tao Hao, the person who once shone so brightly in my heart, surely he couldn't have accomplished nothing?"

After much hesitation, Shen Yue decided to meet Tao Hao.

She decided to put aside her concerns and unveil the mystery surrounding her and Tao Hao.

Shen Yue dressed up carefully, putting on her most beautiful clothes.

That was the thick dress she had specially chosen for her meeting with Tao Hao.

Wearing it feels like regaining your former confidence and sweetness.

She also carefully applied delicate makeup, wanting to show him her best side.

Just like when we first got together, I always hoped to appear in front of him in my most beautiful form.

After leaving Wang Xia's house, Shen Yue hailed a taxi.

Sitting in the back seat, she watched the street scene receding outside the window, her heart pounding faster than usual.

With each familiar landmark they passed, Shen Yue's tension increased.

It felt as if she was about to step into an unknown world, a world where she both looked forward to seeing the person she feared most.

A short while later, the taxi came to a smooth stop in front of Tao Hao's house.

Shen Yue took a deep breath, as if trying to inhale away all the tension and unease in her heart.

She slowly walked forward, raised her hand, and gently pressed the doorbell.

"Ding-dong-"

The crisp sound of the doorbell echoed in the silent air.

It was as if a pebble had been thrown into a calm lake, breaking the tranquility of the night.

When Tao's mother opened the door, a delighted smile immediately lit up her face when she saw Shen Yue standing there.

That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, warm and bright.

"Oh my, isn't this Yueyue? Come in, come in!"

While calling out enthusiastically, Tao's mother took Shen Yue's hand affectionately and welcomed her into the house.

"Auntie, Happy New Year!"

Shen Yue said obediently, with a sweet smile on her face, trying to make herself look more relaxed.

"Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Auntie is so happy that you could come."

As she spoke, Tao's mother led Shen Yue to the living room and had her sit on the soft sofa.

The cushions on the sofa were neatly arranged and exuded the scent of sunshine.

Tao's mother busied herself pouring her a glass of water and placing it on the coffee table in front of her.

She said softly, "Sit down for a while, I'll go call Tao Hao out."

Tao Hao was quietly reading a book in his bedroom; the world in the book was originally his safe haven.

Hearing his mother's clear voice, "Haohao, Yueyue is here!"

His hand jerked violently, and the book nearly fell to the ground.
