After being reborn, I sent the entire scumbag woman's family to jail.

I'm really annoyed, but I've already missed my chance.

Left with no other choice, Xu Ye could only pick a random topic.

"The weather has been quite hot these past few days."

Talking about the weather?

Could this idiot be any more unsophisticated?

Su Zijing thought to herself, but on the surface she still didn't dare to look Xu Ye in the eye and gave a soft "hmm".

"The sun shines every day."

"Yes."

"You didn't get much of a tan."

This was something Su Zijing hadn't noticed; she subconsciously raised her arm.

Xu Ye then stretched out his arm.

The two arms were pressed together, creating a stark contrast.

Xu Ye wasn't exactly dark-skinned, but he was definitely not fair-skinned either...

Well, with that arm next to him, who would even notice him?

It must be said that Su Zijin's skin is really good, fair and translucent, like solidified cream. Even in such a dim environment, her fine veins are still clearly visible.

"So white..."

Xu Ye subconsciously sighed.

Seriously, it turns out I wasn't being superficial at all; who could get tired of a girl like that?

"I've always been like this, I'm sun-resistant."

Su Zijin didn't think there was anything wrong with it; on the contrary, she thought that skin like Xu Ye's was more attractive.

A wheat color is healthier.

But suddenly, as if she remembered something, she burst out laughing.

Xu Ye was a little confused and asked, "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing." Su Zijing was still smiling, but she was clearly holding back.

"You call this nothing?"

"Kukuku..."

Su Zijing stammered for a while, but finally couldn't hold it in any longer and took a deep breath: "Sunbathing is related to the sun, and the sun is also simply called 'ri' (日). I'm least afraid of the sun, so... pfft..."

Xu Ye: "...Ah, this..."

This is the fundamental reason why I didn't recognize her as a girl for more than four years.

Seriously, I'm speechless. They even open their own color mouths.

Su Zijing was still chuckling, and it took her a while to calm down: "I know it's not good, I didn't want to say it..."

"But after all, it's not easy to come up with such a joke, it would be such a shame not to share it, right?" Xu Ye's lips were still twitching.

"As long as you know."

Su Zijing looked at Xu Ye: "Isn't it funny?"

Xu Ye instantly understood: "Hahaha..."

Then, unable to resist, she retorted, "You're not that old, but you drive really well. Are you some kind of old driver?"

Su Zijing said very seriously, "I'm older than you!"

"Nonsense." Xu Ye rolled his eyes. "You're only a freshman, and I'm a sophomore. How could you possibly be older than me?"

Su Zijin asked, "You're twenty, right?"

Xu Ye nodded: "Yes."

"I'm also twenty."

Su Zijing replied calmly, "Besides, I was born in January, January 1st. How could you be older than me?"

"Remember to call me 'sister' next time we meet!"

Xu Ye didn't believe it at all: "How is that possible? We're the same age, and you're even seven months older than me. How could you be a grade lower than me?"

After saying that, he seemed to suddenly remember something: "Does starting school a year later where you're from?"

Su Zijing shook her head: "No, I repeated a year of high school."

Xu Ye's mouth dropped open instantly.

He thought of something.

Immediately afterwards, my whole body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

"What? You don't believe me?"

Just as Su Zijin finished speaking, her vision suddenly blurred.

She was startled, and before she could react, she was already completely nestled in Xu Ye's arms.

She was stunned and couldn't say a word.

By the time she realized what was happening, Xu Ye's burning body temperature had already caused her body temperature to rise, making the tips of her ears turn bright red.

She instinctively wanted to struggle, but she was also somewhat reluctant.

Anyway... anyway, A-Ye's hug was quite honest; I couldn't feel his palm, it was probably just a lightly clenched fist.

She was using too much force, as if she wanted to...crush herself into his heart.

"Ah Ye? What's wrong?" She subconsciously raised her hand and gently patted Xu Ye's back.

The hug was too sudden and a bit illogical. It didn't seem like he was deliberately taking advantage of her, so I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Xu Ye took a deep breath, and two images unconsciously surfaced in his mind.

The first was the last scene he saw before his rebirth, and the second was the sentence Su Zijing uttered in a half-asleep state that night.

You asked me why I came to study so far away.

Because... I want to see you...

Because I wanted to see myself, I took the exam twice. That was the college entrance exam!

In her previous life, she was even willing to sacrifice herself for the very end...

How could she be so stupid?

Xu Ye wanted to cry, but he felt more heartache than anything else.

He slowly released the girl from his arms: "I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

"A little..."

Su Zijing nodded honestly: "Are you alright?"

"No, it's just..."

Xu Ye swallowed hard, and finally joked, "You know, I've always considered you my best brother, so I wanted to give you a hug the very first time we met."

"But since you've become a girl, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to hug you right after we met, so I've been waiting and waiting until now..."

He was ultimately a little afraid, not wanting Su Zijing to think of him as a frivolous and lecherous person.

He did act impulsively just now. The other person isn't even his girlfriend. How could he just hug her like that?

You only act cautiously when you love someone.

It wasn't about possession, nor was it out of gratitude.

Su Zijin looked at Xu Ye.

Xu Ye was taken aback: "What... are you angry?"

"So it was just a hug between brothers," Su Zijin said.

“Yes.” Xu Ye nodded.

What else can we say?

Tell me you like me, and ask me to be your girlfriend?

There was a bag of watermelon rinds next to him.

Others confess their love by sending flowers, but he confesses by sending watermelons?

Haha, you're crazy!

"Idiot!" Su Zijin said through gritted teeth.

"Not as stupid as you."

Is there anyone in this world dumber than her?

She retook the exam twice, and even attempted suicide for him, all for someone who was completely unworthy of her.

That's why she deserves the best, and even when it comes to confessing his feelings, Xu Ye must not be perfunctory in the slightest.

"Retaking the exam... must be tiring?" Xu Ye asked softly.

"No, I'm a genius. I just had to give up the exam the first time because I wasn't feeling well."

This was, of course, a lie. In reality, she simply came to terms with her own feelings and ultimately chose to give up studying abroad and retake the entrance exam for Jiangzhou University, just to make a final effort.

If they get together, she will keep her secret to herself for the rest of her life.

But if Xu Ye regrets it, or rather, comes to his senses, she will definitely do anything to win him back.

Fortunately, I made the right choice.

He's truly awake now.

So she was determined to win him over: "I like you, Xu Ye, I will definitely get you!"
