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

In that instant, Tao Hao felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.

An excited blush quickly rose to her cheeks, like a burning flame.

He cheered silently to himself, "I knew it! I knew Yueyue wouldn't forget me!"

The feeling of having lost it and then regained it filled him with immense excitement.

Tao Hao quickly stood up and tidied his appearance in front of the mirror.

In the mirror, his eyes revealed a hint of anticipation and nervousness.

He carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, as if those wrinkles were an obstacle between him and Shen Yue.

I carefully combed my hair to make it neater.

Tao Hao also wanted to appear in front of Shen Yue in his best mental state.

After finally managing to tidy himself up, Tao Hao took a deep breath and walked out of the bedroom with slightly hurried steps.

He walked to the doorway of the living room and paused slightly.

Then I took a deep breath, trying to appear as calm as possible.

When Shen Yue saw Tao Hao's familiar face, time seemed to freeze for a moment.

His eyes still held a touch of handsomeness and refined elegance, the same look she had once deeply loved.

A joyful smile appeared on her face, a smile as bright as the twinkling stars in the night sky.

"Hao Hao!"

Shen Yue called out softly, her voice filled with tenderness and longing.

"Yueyue!"

Tao Hao quickly walked to Shen Yue's side and sat down beside her. He

They were so close that Shen Yue could feel his breath.

His eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at her, as if he could see right through her.

However, though I have a thousand words in my heart, I don't know where to begin, as if something is blocking my throat.

Shen Yue looked at Tao Hao with equal affection, opened her mouth, but swallowed back her passionate words because Tao's mother was present.

Those words surged in her heart, yet were tightly suppressed by the constraints of reality.

Looking at the two young people, Tao's mother's eyes were full of smiles, as if she could see through their thoughts.

"Haohao, why don't you take Yueyue out for a walk? Don't stay cooped up at home all the time."

After saying this, Tao's mother smiled and got up to leave the living room.

Tao Hao nodded quickly, hesitated for a moment, then slowly stood up and reached out his hand to Shen Yue.

His palms were slightly sweaty, and his heart was pounding with nervousness, just like an actor making his stage debut.

He didn't know if this simple handshake would ease the awkwardness between him and Shen Yue.

Shen Yue was slightly taken aback, then smiled sweetly, slowly reached out and took Tao Hao's hand.

The moment their hands met, it felt as if an electric current had passed through them, causing their hearts to skip a beat.

In that instant, time seemed to rewind, and all worries and anxieties were left behind.

And so, hand in hand, they slowly walked out of Tao Hao's house and headed towards the bustling commercial street.

Along the way, the winter sun shone on them, creating a sweet and beautiful scene.

Tao Hao held Shen Yue's hand tightly, and the two walked side by side, their steps light and natural, slowly heading towards the commercial street.

The winter sun shone warmly on them, its golden glow like a soft veil.

It gently enveloped them, adding a touch of warmth to this cold season.

The snow on the roadside shimmered with tiny sparkles under the sunlight.

Like countless sparkling diamonds, they adorn this silvery-white world.

"Yueyue, how have you been lately? How's university life going?"

Unable to suppress his long-suppressed concern, Tao Hao asked cautiously, his voice tinged with nervousness.

His eyes gleamed with expectation, as if he wanted to find some comfort in Shen Yue's answer.

Shen Yue's gentle smile froze for a moment.

Her smile was like a flower suddenly frozen, but she reacted very quickly and soon returned to normal.

Tao Hao was unaware of this subtle change; he was intently awaiting Shen Yue's reply.

Shen Yue gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Her hair was as smooth as ink and shimmered with a faint luster in the sunlight.

She wore a polite smile, but her eyes revealed a hint of barely perceptible pride.

He said slowly and deliberately, "I've been doing pretty well lately. University life is great. I've met a lot of interesting friends and experienced a lot of interesting things."

At this point, Shen Yue paused for a moment, then changed the subject.

"During the Chinese New Year, my parents took me to visit many relatives, which exhausted me."

"Those aunts and uncles are always asking me all sorts of questions, like how my grades are, whether I have a boyfriend or not. It's so annoying."

When Tao Hao heard Shen Yue mention that she had made many friends, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt inexplicably nervous.

His brow furrowed slightly, and his hands unconsciously tightened.

But she still managed a forced smile and said with a wry smile, "Yes, visiting relatives is really exhausting."

"My parents are the same; they insist on taking me around to visit relatives and friends for the New Year. By the end of the day, my legs feel like they don't belong to me anymore."

"All those relatives are surrounding me, asking about my exam results and my future plans. I'm so annoyed."

"But Yueyue, have you encountered anything particularly fun at university?"

As the conversation deepened, the slight sense of unfamiliarity that had arisen from not seeing each other for an entire semester quickly melted away like thin ice under the sun.

Their conversation started with the dazzling fireworks, then moved on to the old streets of Nanjiang County, and naturally transitioned to the prosperity of Beiping (Beijing).

"You have no idea how wide and clean the streets of Beiping are, with tall buildings everywhere, and it's so lively at night with all the lights on."

When Shen Yue talked about Beiping, her eyes shone with an unusual light, and her words were full of longing.

As if she were there, she gestured with her hands and raised her voice a few decibels: "In Beiping, there are all kinds of delicious food and performances. Wonderful plays and operas are staged in theaters, and the streets and alleys are full of artistic atmosphere."

"And those universities have a particularly strong academic atmosphere, unlike our hometown, where everything is mundane and uneventful."

Tao Hao nodded quickly and agreed, "That's right, that's right. I also think that my hometown is far inferior to Beiping."

"The moon in Beiping feels rounder than the one here."

"In Beiping, the night sky is particularly clear and the air is very fresh. Walking on the street with a gentle breeze is especially comfortable."

"Unlike here, there are dilapidated old houses everywhere, and there's nothing fun to do."

At that moment, a girl who was in the same grade as Tao Hao and Shen Yue, but who had not been admitted to university after graduating from high school, happened to be heading to the commercial street with them.
