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

Chen Dong, Chu Mengran, Guo Miao, and Yu Qin, carrying simple luggage, walked out of the train station with the bustling crowd.

The night in Beiping is like a huge black ribbon, torn apart by the colorful neon lights on both sides of the street, with light and shadow intertwining, bustling and lively.

Amidst the bustling traffic, the sounds of car horns and people's conversations mingled together.

In stark contrast to the tranquility of Nanjiang County, it also gave them a sense of familiar warmth.

"Finally home."

Chen Dong took a deep breath and said with emotion, as if he could capture the unique atmosphere of this city in the air.

It was a smell that blended car exhaust, the aroma of street food, and youthful energy.

"Yes, it feels like it hasn't been long since I left, but it also feels like it's been a long time."

Chu Mengran linked arms with Chen Dong, her hand gently resting on his arm, applying slight pressure as if to confirm the genuine warmth she felt.

Her eyes shone with anticipation for the new semester and a fondness for her familiar surroundings, her gaze sparkling with excitement.

He would occasionally turn his head to look at the surrounding streets, as if greeting an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.

Guo Miao stretched out a big yawn, raised his arms high, leaned back, and let out a satisfied hiss.

Then Guo Miao said with a smile, "Beijing is still more vibrant, but the New Year celebrations in Nanjiang are also very lively. Each has its own merits."

His voice was exceptionally loud in the noisy environment, carrying a cheerful and open-minded quality.

Yu Qin nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's almost hard to get used to all of this."

She looked at Guo Miao with a smile, her eyes full of laughter.

That smile held both reflections on the journey and anticipation for the new life that was about to begin.

The four chatted and laughed all the way, hailed a taxi, and headed towards a small apartment near Tsinghua University.

Outside the car window, the night view of Beiping was like a flowing scroll painting, with skyscrapers, bustling commercial streets, and flashing neon lights passing by one by one.

Inside the car, they shared their funny stories from Nanjiang, reminisced about the lively scenes of the Spring Festival, and burst into laughter from time to time.

Soon, they arrived at the apartment building.

Standing in front of the apartment building, looking at the familiar architecture, a warm feeling of returning home welled up in my heart.

However, when they opened the apartment door, a musty smell hit them, as if time had stood still for more than a month.

Chu Mengran frowned slightly, her delicate eyebrows furrowing together as she surveyed the somewhat messy room.

"It's been uninhabited for over a month, and it's practically turned to dust in that little warehouse. We need to give it a good cleaning."

Her voice was clear and crisp, carrying an undeniable decisiveness.

Chen Dong put down his luggage, clapped his hands, and said with great enthusiasm, "No problem, I'll go find the tools."

As he spoke, he turned and went to the storage room to rummage for brooms, mops and rags.

He walked briskly and energetically, and soon came out carrying a pile of cleaning tools.

Guo Miao retorted, "I'll open the window to let in some fresh air; this smell is really pungent."

As he spoke, he walked to the window, gripped the handle with both hands, and pushed hard. The tightly closed window creaked open.

Instantly, fresh air rushed in, dispelling some of the stuffiness in the room and bringing in the noise of the outside world.

Looking at the scene before her, Yu Qin smiled and said, "Then I'll take charge of tidying up the clutter in the living room. The things on this sofa are almost piled up like a small mountain."

She walked to the sofa, looked at the clothes, books and various small items piled up on it, shook her head helplessly, but there was a hint of a smile in her eyes.

Chu Mengran walked into the kitchen, looked at the pile of dishes and chopsticks in the sink, and shook her head helplessly.

"Let me tidy up the kitchen first, I still need to cook in a while."

She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender wrists, ready to get down to business.

Chen Dong returned with the cleaning tools and handed Guo Miao a broom first.

"You sweep the living room floor first, and I'll go upstairs to clean up the trash in the room."

He patted Guo Miao on the shoulder, his eyes filled with encouragement.

Guo Miao took the broom and began to sweep the floor carefully, humming a little tune as she did so.

"Sweep to the left, sweep to the right, and the dust will run away quickly."

His voice was cheerful, carrying the relaxed self-entertainment unique to chubby kids.

Yu Qin teased from the side, "Guo Miao, are you sweeping or singing?"

She looked at Guo Miao with a smile, her eyes full of teasing.

Guo Miao replied with a smile, "We can do both without any problems. That's what makes work interesting."

As he spoke, he deliberately twisted his body in an exaggerated way, mimicking a singing gesture, which made Yu Qin laugh out loud.

Chen Dong went upstairs and entered the first room, which was filled with clothes and books and looked somewhat messy.

He first picked up the trash on the ground, put it in a trash bag, and then began to make the bed.

At this moment, Chu Mengran also came up to help, taking charge of organizing the wardrobe, taking out the wrinkled clothes one by one, smoothing out the wrinkles and then hanging them up.

"Chen Dong, look at this outfit. I almost forgot I even had it."

Chu Mengran held up an old piece of clothing and said with a smile.

She unfolded the clothes and held them up in front of her, her eyes shining with memories.

Chen Dong glanced at it and smiled, "Isn't this the one I wore when we went out last time? Time really flies."

He stopped what he was doing, looked at the clothes, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, as if he had returned to that wonderful trip.

As they tidied up, they reminisced about the past, and before they knew it, the room had become neat and tidy.

Chen Dong pulled the bed sheet flat and smoothed it out, carefully smoothing out every corner.

Chu Mengran sorted and hung up the clothes, and occasionally shared the stories behind the clothes with Chen Dong.

Downstairs, Guo Miao had finished sweeping the floor and started mopping it.

He dragged the floor with all his might, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead and sliding down his cheeks.

After tidying up the clutter, Yu Qin also came to help. She took a rag and carefully wiped the furniture.

"Yu Qin, what do you think we should eat later?"

Guo Miao suddenly asked.

He straightened up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at Yu Qin with anticipation in his eyes.

Yu Qin thought for a moment and said, "How about we cook some noodles? It's simple and quick, and everyone will be hungry after we finish cleaning up."

She tilted her head, looking quite adorable as she pondered.

Guo Miao nodded in agreement: "Okay, I love noodles the most, so add more meat sauce."

He smiled, revealing his white teeth, like a child.

At this moment, Chu Mengran came downstairs, went into the kitchen, and began washing the dishes in the sink.

Chen Dong also came downstairs to help wipe the kitchen stove.

"Mengran, are you tired? How about I do the dishes, you go and rest for a while."

Chen Dong said with concern, walked to Chu Mengran's side, gently held her hand, and looked at her with concern in his eyes.
