Luo Xi felt as if she were in heaven, so comfortable. She turned over and opened her eyes.
What met her gaze was her familiar room—pink wallpaper, white curtains…
She sat up abruptly.
Rushing into the bathroom, she saw her reflection in the mirror.
Deep ash-blonde bangs, a snow-white face with a rosy glow, dressed in a plaid JK uniform—she looked sweet, soft, and utterly adorable, especially when she smiled.
She had actually been reborn.
Back to four years ago, just after starting university.
“Is this real?” She couldn’t believe it.
Laughter and cheerful voices came from outside. She opened the door and saw her parents and two older brothers sitting in the living room, their gazes full of doting affection. She couldn’t hold back a sob, tears welling up in her eyes.
In her previous life, her parents had fallen gravely ill from grief after her death, unable to eat or sleep. Her two brothers had even abandoned their promising careers to relentlessly hunt down her murderer, determined to bring them to justice.
Now, her loved ones were safe and sound by her side. It felt so wonderful!
And at this moment, the person she wanted to see most in her heart was Mo Yehan.
She couldn’t wait to go find him.
But seeing how dark it was outside, she decided to send him a WeChat message first.
Biting her lip, she returned to her bedside and thought for a long time, unsure how to start the conversation.
“Hello, Mo Yehan.” That seemed too formal.
“Mo Yehan, what are you doing?” That felt too familiar—would it scare him off?
She typed and deleted, deleted and typed, until she accidentally sent only the three words: “Mo Yehan.”
Hugging her phone, she let out a frustrated “Ahhh!” and wanted to recall the message. But then Mo Yehan replied with a single character: “?”
Just a simple question mark.
But he had replied instantly.
It was practically a one-second response.
This left Tian Xi utterly flustered. Had he been waiting for her message all along?
She didn’t know when Mo Yehan had started liking her or why. Was it because she seemed well-behaved too?
In her previous life, she had indeed been very obedient—looking sweet, dressing modestly, and acting properly. Everyone praised her as a good girl.
But in this life, she didn’t want to be that well-behaved anymore.
Gritting her teeth, she sent: “I’m actually not well-behaved at all. Don’t be fooled by my appearance.”
Ahhh! Immediately after sending it, she regretted it. Why had she sent that? It was so random. Would he dislike her now? The thought that he might not like her anymore made her heart ache.
Just then, a WeChat notification popped up.
Mo Yehan: “I’m not that cold either. Don’t be fooled by my silence.”
He even sent a photo of himself eating barbecue outside with others, shirtless, revealing his eight-pack abs—each one tempting enough to make her want to take a bite.
Tian Xi: “…”
Then, she watched as he recalled the photo. Luckily, she had quick reflexes and saved it. Clutching her phone, she marveled at how, despite his slender appearance, he was actually quite toned—lean and firm.
In the photo, there were many people drinking with him. His expression was carefree, devoid of his usual aloofness, instead exuding a sense of freedom and defiance. She had never seen this side of him before, and her heart raced uncontrollably.
Another WeChat notification popped up.
Mo Yehan: “Did I scare you?”
Tian Xi: “Yeah, I was genuinely shocked. I never expected you to have a model-like physique.”
Mo Yehan replied with a string of characters: “…”
Tian Xi: “Want~ to touch.”
After sending it, she felt her face flush and her hands tremble. Once again, she had shattered her good-girl image in front of Mo Yehan. Would it disgust him?Mo Yehan: “Come touch.”
Tian Xi: “Send me your location.”
