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

Tears welled in her eyes; she was clearly still deeply moved by the movie.

Chen Dong smiled and gently patted Chu Mengran's head, saying tenderly, "Yes, true love has to be tested. Just like us, we will continue on together. No matter what difficulties we encounter, I will always be by your side."

His eyes were firm, and his tone was full of confidence in the future.

Next, they arrived at the bustling commercial street.

The streets were bustling with people, and various shouts and laughter mingled together.

The shop windows of clothing stores along the street display all kinds of beautiful clothes, some with novel and fashionable styles, and others with simple and elegant designs.

Chu Mengran's eyes were drawn to a red dress in a clothing store window. She stopped in her tracks and stared at the dress with obvious admiration.

The dress was fitted, with delicate lace embroidery at the neckline and a slightly flared skirt, resembling a blooming rose.

Chen Dong noticed Chu Mengran's gaze and said with a smile, "If you like it, go in and give it a try."

He gently nudged Chu Mengran, his eyes full of encouragement.

Chu Mengran hesitated, "Isn't it too expensive? Besides, I already have a lot of clothes. I've been spending a lot of money lately, so I think I'll pass."

Although she said that, her gaze kept falling on the dress.

Chen Dong gently pulled Chu Mengran into the store and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a little expensive, as long as you like it. Besides, you're so pretty, you'll definitely look even better in it. Just consider it a gift from me."

As he spoke, he pulled Chu Mengran to the dress, took it off, handed it to her, and whispered in her ear, "I just want to see you happy when you wear your favorite clothes."

Encouraged by Chen Dong, Chu Mengran went into the fitting room and changed into the red dress.

When she came out of the fitting room, Chen Dong's eyes lit up immediately.

The red dress made Chu Mengran's skin appear even whiter than snow, and the style of the dress perfectly outlined her figure, making her slender waist look incredibly delicate. She looked both charming and captivating.

"Mengran, you are absolutely gorgeous. This dress looks like it was made just for you."

Chen Dong praised sincerely, his eyes filled with amazement.

He stepped forward, gently took Chu Mengran's hand, placed a kiss on the back of her hand, and circled around her, admiring her closely while repeatedly saying, "So beautiful, so incredibly beautiful."

Chu Mengran twirled a few times in front of the mirror, her skirt billowing with her movements, a confident smile on her face: "Really? I also think this dress is quite beautiful. I just wonder about the price, I hope it's not too expensive."

She turned her head to look at the shop assistant, a questioning look in her eyes.

The sales assistant approached with a big smile and said enthusiastically, "Miss, you look absolutely stunning in this dress, like a fairy descended from heaven. The price is also very reasonable, only 180 yuan. And with your boyfriend having such good taste and loving you so much, buying this is definitely a good deal."

As the shop assistant spoke, she glanced at Chen Dong and Chu Mengran, her smile growing even brighter.

Chu Mengran was tempted by what the shop assistant said, but still hesitated: "One hundred and eighty yuan is still a bit expensive."

She looked at Chen Dong, a questioning look in her eyes.

Chen Dong said without hesitation, "It's not expensive. As long as you like it, it's worth any price. I'll buy this one."

He took out money from his wallet, handed it to the shop assistant, then took the bag from the shop assistant, carefully packed the clothes inside, and even straightened the bag's handle before handing it to Chu Mengran.

Stepping out of the clothing store, Chu Mengran carried a bag full of new clothes, feeling exceptionally happy.

She took Chen Dong's arm and said, "Thank you, Chen Dong. I will cherish this dress."

A happy smile graced her face, and her eyes curved into crescent shapes.

As they walked, Chu Mengran suddenly remembered the school clubs. She said to Chen Dong with some distress, "Several clubs at school are recruiting new members recently, and I'm thinking of joining, but I'm worried that it will interfere with my studies. I'm afraid that participating in club activities will take up too much time and affect my grades."

His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

Chen Dong stopped and looked intently into Chu Mengran's eyes, encouraging her, "Mengran, I think you should participate. Joining club activities will not only enrich your extracurricular life but also improve your abilities, which will benefit your future development. You're so outstanding, with excellent grades, you'll definitely be able to balance your studies and club activities. Besides, I'll always be there to support you. Which club do you want to join?"

He gently held Chu Mengran's hand, his eyes filled with encouragement and trust.

Chu Mengran thought for a moment and said, "I'm quite interested in the publicity department of the student union. I think it can help me improve my organizational and communication skills. But I'm also worried that I might not do a good job. What if I mess it up? I'm afraid of being laughed at by others."

She lowered her head, her voice somewhat dejected.

Chen Dong gently lifted Chu Mengran's chin, making her look into his eyes, and said firmly, "Don't be afraid of failure. As long as you try, it's the beginning of success. Even if you encounter difficulties, we'll find a way to solve them together. I believe you can do it. You're so smart and hardworking, you'll definitely shine in the club. Besides, so what if you don't do well? Everyone starts from not knowing how to do it. The important thing is that you tried."

His eyes were firm yet warm, as if they possessed a reassuring power.

Looking into Chen Dong's determined eyes, Chu Mengran felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She nodded, "Okay, then I'll sign up. Your words give me courage. But, if I get busy and don't have time to spend with you, will you be angry?"

She looked at Chen Dong with some concern and a hint of guilt in her eyes.

Chen Dong smiled and patted Chu Mengran's head, saying, "Silly girl, how could I be angry? I'm only happy for you. Of course I'll support you in pursuing your dreams. Besides, we can study and improve together in our spare time. Maybe I'll need your advice when I encounter problems at work in the future."

His warm and friendly smile completely put Chu Mengran at ease.

Just then, a vendor selling candied hawthorns passed by on the street, his strings of bright red candied hawthorns gleaming temptingly in the sunlight.

Chen Dong's eyes lit up, and he ran over to buy two skewers. He came back and handed one to Chu Mengran: "Here, have a taste. It's been a long time since you've had any, hasn't it?"

Chu Mengran took the candied hawthorn, took a bite, and the sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth, making her smile happily.
