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

On the morning of October 1st, Beijing was still asleep, the sky just beginning to lighten, exuding a hazy tranquility.

The locust trees along the street swayed gently in the breeze, their tender green leaves already turning golden, rustling softly as if singing a low song for the upcoming National Day.

The birds hopped merrily on the branches, chirping and singing sweetly, as if they too were cheering for this day of national celebration.

In Chen Dong and Chu Mengran's small apartment, the alarm clock hadn't gone off yet when the two of them woke up early.

They were so excited about their long-awaited National Day trip that they couldn't sleep all night.

Chu Mengran tossed and turned, too excited to sleep at the thought of the journey that was about to begin.

As soon as dawn broke, she eagerly sat up in bed and tiptoed toward the wardrobe.

She didn't have many clothes in her wardrobe, but every single one was neatly arranged.

My gaze swept across the clothes rack one by one, finally settling on that pale yellow trendy dress.

The hem of the skirt is embroidered with delicate little flowers, every stitch reflecting her pursuit of beauty.

She had saved up money and shopped at several stores before finally choosing it. She had been reluctant to wear it, hoping to wear it on a special day.

She carefully took out the dress, put it on, and twirled gently in front of the mirror. The skirt fluttered, like a blooming daisy.

She tied her hair into a high ponytail, with a few wisps of hair playfully falling on either side of her face, making her look even more fresh and lovely.

She blinked her big, watery eyes and looked at Chen Dong, who was tidying up his clothes, and asked shyly, "Dongzi, do I look good like this?"

Chen Dong was wearing a white shirt that was slightly yellowed from washing but was still clean and tidy, paired with dark blue jeans.

He stood there tall and straight, still as handsome as ever.

Hearing Chu Mengran's question, he turned his head, his eyes full of admiration, and sincerely praised, "Mengran, you look good in anything, and you are definitely the most eye-catching today. This dress is simply tailor-made for you, and with your smile, you are even more radiant than the autumn sun."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and gently straightened Chu Mengran's collar, his movements tender and natural, his eyes full of love.

After getting ready, the two sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Guo Miao and Yu Qin.

Chu Mengran nervously packed her backpack, checking each item inside: tissues, water bottle, snacks... to make sure nothing was left out.

Chen Dong watched her patiently from the side, occasionally reaching out to help her put the items that had fallen out back in.

Not long after, the doorbell rang crisply.

Chu Mengran hurriedly ran to open the door and saw Guo Miao wearing a ripped sweatshirt. The rips weren't intentional, as they were fashionable at the time, but rather just something he'd accidentally torn without paying attention to.

He walked in with a grin, followed by Yu Qin.

Yu Qin wore a floral print mini-skirt with slightly rough fabric but a unique style, her face lightly made up, and her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Hey everyone, are you all ready? Today's going to be super fun!"

As Guo Miao spoke, he casually sat down on the sofa, staring at the snacks on the table, and picked up a candy, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth.

"You're the most excited one. I wonder if you've prepared anything yet."

Yu Qin rolled her eyes at him, then greeted Chu Mengran warmly. The two stood together and chatted about their clothes and appearance.

"Mengran, this dress is so beautiful, it suits you so well."

Yu Qin said enviously.

Chu Mengran smiled and replied, "Xiaoqin, your dress is also very unique, it suits you very well."

The four of them went out and stood by the telephone pole covered with small advertisements on the street, waiting for a taxi.

At the entrances of shops along the street, five-star red flags fluttered in the wind, their bright red color particularly eye-catching under the sunlight, adding a strong festive atmosphere to this National Day holiday.

Pedestrians came and went on the street, many with festive smiles on their faces, exchanging greetings with each other.

The children, dressed in new clothes and holding colorful balloons, skipped and hopped along.

In the distance, bursts of cheerful music could be heard, seemingly from a shop playing songs celebrating National Day.

After waiting for a while, a taxi finally arrived.

The four of them got into the car. Chu Mengran sat by the window, excitedly watching the street scene receding outside.

The street stalls sell all sorts of trinkets, including colorful balloons, exquisite sugar figurines, and lifelike dough sculptures.

His eyes sparkled, and he occasionally uttered soft exclamations of surprise: "Dongzi, look at that sugar figurine, it's so lifelike!"

Chen Dong sat beside her, holding her hand tightly, feeling excited and joyful, and replied with a smile: "Yes, these artisans' skills are truly amazing."

Guo Miao, sitting in the passenger seat, turned to chat with Chen Dong: "Brother Dong, do you think Zizhuyuan Park will be crowded today?"

Chen Dong replied with a smile, "It shouldn't be as exaggerated as popular tourist spots. We're going early, so we can enjoy the tranquil environment. Maybe we can even find a quiet corner to appreciate the scenery and take some photos."

Yu Qin sat in the back row, looking at Chen Dong and Chu Mengran's tightly clasped hands, a hint of loneliness in her eyes, but she quickly turned her head to look out the window.

The trees along the street rushed past, and my thoughts drifted into the distance.

After driving for a while, we finally arrived at Zizhuyuan Park.

As soon as she got out of the car, Chu Mengran was attracted by the large expanse of lush, tall bamboo in front of her.

A gentle breeze rustled through the bamboo, as if it were playing a beautiful melody.

Sunlight filters through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow.

"Dongzi, look at these bamboos, they're so beautiful!"

She couldn't wait to pull Chen Dong forward, wanting to experience the charm of bamboo up close.

The bamboo was tall and straight, some reaching several meters in height. Its leaves shimmered with a vibrant green light in the sunlight, resembling a green ocean.

As soon as Guo Miao entered the park, he saw a dilapidated tricycle selling candied hawthorns not far away.

His eyes lit up and he immediately ran over: "I'll go buy a few skewers of candied hawthorns, everyone can try them!"

A short while later, he ran back with several skewers of candied hawthorns, handing them out to everyone while taking several bites himself.

"Guo Miao, can't you give everyone some to eat first?"

Yu Qin said angrily, looking at Guo Miao's disheveled eating habits, she was both annoyed and amused.

Guo Miao scratched his head and explained with a sheepish smile, "Oh dear, I just couldn't resist. These candied hawthorns look so tempting. The bright red hawthorns are coated in a glistening sugar coating; just looking at them makes my mouth water."

Everyone was amused by his appearance.

Chu Mengran's eyes sparkled as she looked at the dense bamboo forest: "Dongzi, the scenery here is so beautiful, let's take some pictures."
