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

Chen Dong carefully took out the old camera from his bag, which he had saved up for a long time to buy back in high school.

Although the camera is quite old, it can still take clear photos thanks to Chen Dong's careful maintenance.

He patiently adjusted Chu Mengran's posture and guided her on how to stand more naturally.

"Mengran, tilt your head slightly, yes, smile, just like that, very good."

He pressed the shutter, and with a click, captured Chu Mengran's beautiful moment.

Chu Mengran stood in front of the bamboo forest, with a lush green backdrop behind her. Her smile was radiant, as if she had blended into the beautiful scenery.

Afterwards, the two stood together in front of the bamboo forest and took a photo.

Chu Mengran nestled close to Chen Dong, both of them beaming with sweet smiles.

Upon seeing this, Yu Qin lowered her head slightly to conceal the disappointment in her eyes.

Guo Miao, however, excitedly shouted from the side, "Take more pictures, take more pictures! These photos will definitely look good when they're developed! I'll get some developed too, to keep as a souvenir."

After walking around for a while, everyone was a little tired.

On a dilapidated bench in the park, Chen Dong took out the snacks he had prepared in advance and shared them with everyone.

There was fragrant bread, sweet and sour oranges, and chocolate, Chu Mengran's favorite food.

Chu Mengran leaned on Chen Dong's shoulder and whispered, "Dongzi, I had a really great day. Thank you."

Chen Dong gently kissed her forehead and responded tenderly, "As long as you're happy."

After resting, the group went to the lakeside.

Weeping willows line the lakeside, their slender branches drooping onto the water's surface, swaying gently in the breeze.

The lake water shimmered, reflecting the trees on the shore and the sky.

Chen Dong looked at Chu Mengran and asked softly, "Mengran, would you like to go boating?"

Chu Mengran's eyes lit up, and she replied excitedly, "Great! I've never rowed a boat before, it must be so much fun!"

They rented a boat with a weathered hull and many signs of repair, clearly indicating that it had been through many years.

The oars also looked a bit worn, but that didn't affect their use.

Guo Miao volunteered to row the boat. He picked up the oar, but at first he used the wrong force, and the boat kept spinning on the lake, causing Yu Qin to scream repeatedly: "Guo Miao, do you know how to row? Don't capsize us!"

Chen Dong patiently instructed Guo Miao: "Guo Miao, you need to coordinate your hands well, one to the left and one to the right, and apply even force. Come on, follow my rhythm, one to the left, one to the right."

Under Chen Dong's guidance, the boat finally began to move forward steadily.

But before long, Guo Miao accidentally dropped the oar from his hand and it fell into the lake.

He leaned forward and almost fell into the lake.

Yu Qin angrily rebuked, "Guo Miao, how could you be so careless!"

Guo Miao turned pale with fright and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. The oars were too slippery, and I couldn't hold on."

Chu Mengran quickly came to the rescue: "It's alright, it's alright, as long as no one is hurt. Let's try to salvage the oars."

Out of respect for Chen Dong, Yu Qin didn't dare to make a scene, but just glared at Guo Miao.

Finally, with the help of the staff at the lake, they retrieved their oars and continued rowing.

Ripples spread across the lake's surface, a gentle breeze caressed our faces, carrying the coolness of the lake water and the scent of autumn.

In the distance, several water birds frolicked on the lake, sometimes diving into the water, sometimes taking flight.

As evening falls, the afterglow of the setting sun spills into every corner of the park, draping the entire park in a golden cloak.

The four of them left Zizhuyuan Park, feeling a little tired but mostly relaxed.

Holding Chen Dong's hand, Chu Mengran said happily, "Dongzi, today was so wonderful, thank you. I will remember this day forever."

Chen Dong smiled and said, "As long as you're happy, I'll take you to many more fun places in the future."

Guo Miao and Yu Qin followed behind, exchanging whispers.

Guo Miao said, "I was too careless today. I will definitely plan more carefully in the future and not let so many things go wrong again. Next time we go on a trip, I will do my homework in advance and I will definitely not let things fall apart again."

Although Yu Qin complained a few times, she also admitted that she had a great day: "Yes, although there were a few minor incidents today, I was still very happy overall. And thanks to Dong Ge's arrangements, I was able to have so much fun."

Back at the apartment, Chen Dong went into the kitchen and prepared a simple yet heartwarming dinner for everyone.

There was fragrant scrambled eggs with tomatoes, crisp and refreshing cucumber salad, and a pot of steaming hot vegetable soup.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of food, making people feel especially warm.

Everyone sat around the dining table, sharing their experiences from the day's trip.

Chu Mengran said excitedly, "The photos taken today must be really beautiful. I'm going to put them on the wall when they're developed. Every time I see these photos, I'll remember the happy times we had today."

Chen Dong said with a smile, "I plan to buy a photo album to preserve these photos. When we look back on them in the future, they will be wonderful memories. When we get old, it will be especially meaningful to look at these photos together."

While eating heartily, Guo Miao reminded everyone, "We're going to Fragrant Hills to see the autumn leaves tomorrow, so we have to get up early, otherwise it won't be fun if there are too many people. I heard that the autumn leaves in Fragrant Hills are especially beautiful in autumn, covering the whole mountainside, it must be spectacular."

Chen Dong thought for a moment and said, "Let's take the bus tomorrow. It might be a bit crowded, but it's convenient, and we can see the scenery along the way. We might even see some interesting places along the way, and we can get off and explore whenever we want."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After finishing their meal, Guo Miao and Yu Qin got up to say goodbye, leaving only Chen Dong and Chu Mengran in the apartment.

The two sat on the sofa, Chu Mengran nestled in Chen Dong's arms, and whispered, "Dongzi, I hope we can do this every holiday from now on, going out to play together and creating more wonderful memories. I want to see all the beautiful scenery in the world with you and experience every little thing in life."

Chen Dong hugged her tightly and made a firm promise: "It will happen, Mengran. No matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side."

Night deepened, moonlight streamed into the room through the window, and the city gradually quieted down. Chen Dong and Chu Mengran lay in bed, embracing each other. Then, Chen Dong rolled over and pinned Chu Mengran beneath him. [Click for details]

On the last day of the National Day holiday, the sun seemed to have lost its strength, lazily shining on the streets and alleys of Beiping, adding a touch of leisure and comfort to this lively holiday.

The locust trees along the street swayed gently in the breeze, their yellowing leaves rustling softly, as if they were singing a soft hymn for the holiday that was about to end.

Chen Dong, Chu Mengran, Guo Miao, and Yu Qin, after a refreshing trip to Zizhuyuan Park and a romantic visit to Fragrant Hills with its red leaves a few days ago.
