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

Guo Miao was carrying a large bag, which looked heavy, and who knows how many of his school memories it contained.

Yu Qin wore a beige coat, which was simple and elegant, perfectly complementing her temperament.

The scarf was loosely draped around her neck, adding a touch of languidness to her appearance.

She held a book in her hand, engrossed in reading it, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding noise.

"You are finally here!"

When Guo Miao saw Chen Dong and Chu Mengran, he immediately greeted them with a warm and cheerful smile, like the warm sun in winter.

"If you don't come soon, we'll freeze into popsicles."

He rubbed his hands together exaggeratedly, trying to warm them up.

"Sorry, we're experiencing some traffic congestion on the way."

Chu Mengran smiled apologetically, a hint of shyness in her smile, like a child who had made a mistake.

"Alright, stop standing there and hurry up and get your tickets checked and on the train."

Yu Qin closed the book, looked up, and urged.

The four of them passed through the ticket gate smoothly and boarded the train bound for Shenzhen.

The carriage was warmly heated, and the warmth instantly enveloped them, creating a stark contrast to the cold outside.

Chen Dong and Chu Mengran found their seats, which seemed to be a safe haven for them on this long journey.

Guo Miao and Yu Qin sat opposite them.

The train slowly started moving, the wheels rubbing against the rails making a clanging sound, like a homecoming melody.

The scenery outside the window gradually moved backward, like a slowly unfolding scroll painting.

Chen Dong leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief: "Finally, I'm going home. I can't wait to see my parents."

Her eyes were filled with anticipation, as if she could already see her parents waiting at the door.

Chu Mengran smiled slightly, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes: "Yes, I wonder if there have been any changes at home."

Her voice was soft, tinged with a hint of curiosity about the unknown.

Chen Dong smiled and said, "No matter how things change, home is still home, and the feeling of going back is always warm."

The voice was firm yet warm, like a fireplace on a winter's day.

Chu Mengran nodded gently, her gaze drifting out the window, her thoughts seemingly already back to her hometown.

His eyes were filled with longing, as if he could see every blade of grass and every tree in his hometown.

As the train traveled south, the scenery outside the window gradually changed from the desolation of the north to the lush greenery of the south.

The atmosphere inside the carriage gradually livened up, and the four began sharing interesting stories from their school days.

"Do you guys remember that lab class? Chen Dong almost blew up the lab."

Guo Miao joked with a hearty laugh, drawing the attention of the surrounding passengers.

Chen Dong shook his head helplessly: "Don't even mention it. That was really close. Luckily, the teacher found out in time, otherwise I might have been expelled."

As he spoke, he patted his chest, still shaken.

Chu Mengran covered her mouth and laughed, "That time really scared us. Chen Dong, you'd better be careful in the future."

The smile held a hint of worry, like that of a family member concerned for a friend.

Yu Qin laughed too: "However, after that lab class, Chen Dong's experimental skills improved by leaps and bounds, so it can be considered a blessing in disguise."

A hint of admiration flickered in her eyes; she was proud of Chen Dong's growth.

Chen Dong shrugged helplessly: "I guess so."

An awkward smile appeared on his face, as if he were recalling that unforgettable experience.

The four of them burst into laughter, filling the carriage with cheerful chatter.

Their laughter, like the warm spring sun, warmed each other's hearts.

After a journey of more than ten hours, the train finally arrived in Shenzhen, and then the train from Shenzhen took another train to Nanjiang County.

Upon arriving in Nanjiang County, Chen Dong, Chu Mengran, Guo Miao, and Yu Qin disembarked from the train and walked out of the station.

The sky over Nanjiang County remained overcast, but a familiar scent permeated the air.

The aroma, tinged with the scent of home, warmed their hearts.

"How do we get back now?"

Guo Miao asked, glancing around as he spoke, trying to find his way home.

"Mengran and I took a taxi home. What about you?"

Chen Dong asked, his gaze fixed on Guo Miao and Yu Qin, his eyes filled with concern.

"Then let's take a taxi."

Yu Qin replied, her voice calm and steady.

"Then let's part ways here, and see you after the New Year."

Guo Miao smiled and waved, a hint of reluctance in her smile, but her eyes looked forward to their next meeting.

Goodbye, see you after winter break.

Chen Dong and Chu Mengran also waved goodbye.

Their waving was full of affection, as if conveying blessings to each other.

After the four parted ways, Chen Dong and Chu Mengran got into a taxi to go home.

In this era when there aren't many private cars, even taxis are very busy during the Chinese New Year.

After much difficulty, they finally managed to flag down a taxi, and Chen Dong and Chu Mengran quickly got in.

?

"Finally, we're almost home," Chu Mengran said softly, leaning back in her chair.

His voice was filled with exhaustion and relief; all the fatigue of the journey had been released in that moment.

"Yes, I'm finally going to see my parents."

Chen Dong smiled, his eyes full of anticipation.

Her smile radiated happiness, as if she could already feel the warmth of home.

The taxi slowly drove out of the train station and headed towards home.

As the scenery outside the window gradually became familiar, Chu Mengran's mood relaxed.

His eyes were filled with peace, as if he had returned to the safest harbor.

The taxi drove for a while and finally arrived at Sunshine Community.

Chen Dong and Chu Mengran got out of the car and stood outside the familiar residential area, their hearts filled with the joy of returning home.

Every flower and tree in the neighborhood seemed to tell their story, stirring a sense of warmth and familiarity within them.

"Come on, I'll take you home."

Chen Dong picked up his suitcase and said with a smile.

His smile was warm yet resolute, a testament to his desire to protect Chu Mengran.

Chu Mengran nodded, and the two walked side by side towards the Sunshine Community.

Sunshine Community is an old community in Nanjiang County. Although the facilities are somewhat outdated, the environment is very quiet.

The trees in the neighborhood swayed in the cold wind, as if welcoming their return.

Chu Mengran's home is at the very back of the residential complex, while Chen Dong's home is on the outer edge.

The two arrived at the building where Chu Mengran lived, where her mother, Chu Yu, had been waiting for them for a long time.

Chu Yu was wearing a dark cotton coat, which, though simple, was full of a mother's warmth.

She was holding a thermos, which probably contained a hot drink for her daughter.

Upon seeing Chu Mengran and Chen Dong, she immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Meng Ran, Chen Dong, you're finally back!"

Chu Yu said with a smile, her voice filled with joy, as if she had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

"Mom, I'm back."

Chu Mengran smiled and threw herself into her mother's arms.
