It Seems I’m Not The Only One Who Reincarnated

In short, Shi Meng no longer felt the need to guard against Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie like they were thieves.

In fact, she even found them rather pitiable…

After all, they, like her, had lost the most important person in their lives. This shared grief gave Shi Meng a sense of empathy toward them.

Moreover, their mother was eager to see her brother “take them in.” So, why not give them a chance?

Surely, they still wanted to be her brother’s wives, right?

But one thing was certain—they could no longer monopolize him.

Shi Meng had figured things out clearly.

As for whether Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie could come to terms with this reality, that would depend on their own understanding and insight.

Contrary to their mother’s judgment, Shi Meng believed it was Jian and Zhu who needed to seize this opportunity.

After all, judging by the current situation, there were plenty of women with titles like “wife from a past life,” “lover from a past life,” and “girlfriend from a past life” tied to her brother. That mysterious woman, Tian Shui, was likely one of them.

And undoubtedly, more reincarnated women would come knocking in the future.

So what advantage did Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie have over the others?

The only one seemed to be that they had arrived in her brother’s life earlier.

If they couldn’t even hold onto this advantage, there was a good chance someone else would surpass them later.

Whether they could maintain their lead and secure the top two spots would depend entirely on their own efforts.

If they chose to act stubborn or throw tantrums, insisting on exclusivity…

Then they’d better be prepared to be “targeted” by the others.

After all, Shi Hai was not lacking in female attention.

Losing one or two wouldn’t make much of a difference.

As for Shi Meng herself, even if she couldn’t be his wife, she still had her position as his sister.

Her brother would never abandon her, and that was the ultimate advantage of being his sibling.

I can stay by his side and take care of him for a lifetime—can you do that?

Heh, competing with other women for the “wife” position and, even if you win, having to share your man with others—how pitiful…

But as his sister? There’s only one of me. Hee hee.

With this sense of superiority and a hint of pity, Shi Meng decided to give them the chance to be alone with her brother.

So, if they weren’t foolish, it was time for them to make a choice.

Either treat their past-life memories as nothing more than a fleeting dream, forget about Shi Hai, and leave his side.

Or stay by his side, but accept the compromise of sharing him with other women.

After all, they were all reincarnated, and they had all been Shi Hai’s girlfriends or wives in some capacity. None of them could claim to be superior or have precedence over the others.

Even if they wanted exclusivity, Shi Meng would be the first to object.

There had to be time reserved for sibling bonding too!

In fact, the fact that I’m willing to share my brother with you is already an act of great mercy. Don’t take it for granted!

Meanwhile, Liu Zhenshan discreetly gave her daughter a thumbs-up, signaling their mother-daughter coordination was spot on.

“Alright~ Have fun this afternoon!”

When their mother gave the command, the children couldn’t refuse.

After breakfast, while the girls were tidying up, Liu Zhenshan pulled Shi Hai aside, wrapping an arm around his neck to whisper in his ear.

“Hey! Shi Hai, make sure you do a good job this afternoon! You need to make them happy!”

“Alright, alright, I got it…”

Shi Hai responded half-heartedly, still resigned to playing along with his mom’s harem paradise plan.

“Budget’s on me, so don’t worry about money.”

“Wow, Mom, you’re really going all out, huh?”

“As long as you can win them over, what’s a little money?”

“But they don’t seem like the type to spend extravagantly.”

“I know! Not only can they cook, but they can also do housework. And they’re both so beautiful… Finding women this amazing and getting two at once—you must’ve used up all your luck for a lifetime!”

Shi Hai rolled his eyes and complained in his heart.

Looks like he really had used up all of his luck

Otherwise, how could he end up dead nine years later?

While others look forward to turning 30 as a milestone, Shi Hai would barely make it there—he’d be dead by 30. Truly unlucky.

“But since this is your first date with them, you need to make it memorable. Buy them some gifts to leave a strong impression. Make it an experience they’ll cherish and look back on as a significant memory. It’s okay to splurge a bit. Just don’t forget the gifts, alright?”

“Okay, I got it.”

This time, Shi Hai listened carefully without brushing it off.

Mainly because he thought his mom had a point.

The phrase “significant memory” especially struck a chord—it was an apt choice of words.

“Alright, go on then.”

Liu Zhenshan stopped her advice there, knowing she had said enough.

As for the execution, she could only leave it to her son.

She hoped he’d win the hearts of these two girls.

Though, honestly, that part was the least of her worries.

<+>

At 1:00 PM, the trio, fully prepared, stepped out. Jian Sichun was bursting with excitement.

“Alright! Let’s head out for our double date!”

Shi Hai gave her a puzzled look.

“Double date? Does that mean we’re inviting someone else?”

“No, just the three of us! Why would we invite anyone else?”

“But doesn’t a double date mean two couples meeting up?”

“Exactly! Aren’t there two couples here?”

Jian Sichun pointed at herself and Shi Hai, then at Zhu Lingjie and Shi Hai.

“Me and you, then Lingling and you.”

“Wait, you can count it like that? Doesn’t that make me a two-in-one boyfriend? Actually, wait—we’re not even dating!”

Shi Hai kept complaining, his head spinning from Jian Sichun’s leaps in logic.

But Jian Sichun stood firm.

“No! Today, you’re our rental boyfriend!”

“Rental boyfriend?”

“Yeah, since your mom told you to take us out, it means she wants us to have fun, right?”

“Uh, that’s true…”

“So, to make us happy, shouldn’t you act like a boyfriend and pamper us?”

“Well… you’ve got a point.”

Shi Hai was starting to get convinced by Jian Sichun’s bizarre reasoning.

Before he could recover, Zhu Lingjie seized the opportunity.

“Well then… let’s start with holding hands.”

She grabbed both of Shi Hai’s hands, holding his left hand herself and passing his right to Jian Sichun.

Today, Zhu Lingjie was bolder than usual. She clasped Shi Hai’s hand tightly, their fingers interlocked.

“Come on, Sichun, one hand each.”

“Yep! Let’s go watch a movie first!”

Shi Hai was now holding hands with both girls, a sensation he hadn’t felt in ages.

The last time he held hands like this was when he was a kid, walking with his parents.

He never thought he’d experience it again as an adult…

Though now, he was much taller and couldn’t relive the childhood joy of swinging between two adults.

<+>

When the trio walked onto the bustling pedestrian street, Shi Hai quickly realized something was off.

Before, the trio had attracted attention because Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie were both stunning, and Shi Hai had been caught in their orbit.

But now, with one guy and two girls holding hands so intimately, it became a spectacle. Passersby couldn’t help but wonder about their relationship.

Is this guy seriously dating both of them? Left hand, right hand—how’s that even fair?

Shi Hai felt the stares and grew uncomfortable, wanting to let go.

But his hands were tightly clasped by the girls, and he couldn’t pull away no matter how hard he tried.

Their palms were sweaty, making things sticky and uncomfortable. Yet, neither girl loosened her grip, not even for a second.

Clearly, they had come prepared.

Jian Sichun’s “rental boyfriend” excuse was just a front.

After breakfast, they had claimed they needed time to prepare and didn’t show up until noon.

Shi Hai thought they had just spent extra time on their appearance. But now it seemed they had also coordinated how to handle him.

This so-called “date for three” wasn’t Shi Hai’s plan to make them happy.

Instead, it was a trial—a test for Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie to prove themselves.
