It Seems I’m Not The Only One Who Reincarnated

“So a love triangle can be explained this way…”

Shi Hai shook his head helplessly.

The response they gave him was truly unexpected.

And honestly, it wasn’t nonsense—it could actually be considered a solution.

Three people being together, but not in the sense of two people liking the same person. Instead…

With this setup, if Shi Hai really were to pass away in nine years due to an accident, the remaining two could still live happily together.

In essence, it was like how Shi Hai’s mother and son relied on each other after his father passed away.

And this scenario wasn’t entirely unheard of.

Shi Hai had heard of similar cases abroad where couples, if one partner had a special situation, could invite a third person to join their relationship to form a new dynamic.

But if all parties were regular individuals, it would seem quite unusual.

“This concept… it’s innovative, I’ll give you that. But it’s a bit too avant-garde.”

Jian Sichun leaned over, poking her head out, and said, “But there’s no rule that says a person can only love one person, is there?”

“No, there’s no such rule. In fact, most people are fickle by nature…”

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many cheaters.

Zhu Lingjie also tilted her head with a gentle smile, her gaze toward Shi Hai tinged with apology.

“And we understand that asking you to accept both of us is essentially forcing you to become the kind of guy you don’t want to be—a player. That’s unfair to you.”

Indeed, it was usually men’s wandering hearts that caused love triangles. Rarely did anyone hear about men being pressured into “boarding two ships” by women.

But if Shi Hai agreed this time, he’d be a first-of-his-kind case study.

Zhu Lingjie’s gaze softened with affection. She spoke tenderly:

“So we’re willing to help shoulder this burden. You don’t need to feel any psychological pressure—just follow your heart.”

“My heart?”

The two beautiful girls on either side nodded in unison.

“Exactly. Stop thinking about us first for a change—think about what you want.”

Think about what you want.

Those words struck Shi Hai to his core.

Zhu Lingjie’s kindness, combined with Jian Sichun’s probing questions, caused Shi Hai to waver.

Until now, he had always approached this from an objective and neutral standpoint, avoiding personal feelings.

For example, the solution they proposed: it was feasible but wouldn’t be widely accepted by society, family, or others. It might even come across as chaotic.

So, there wasn’t any compelling reason to do it.

In a rational world, maintaining distance until they moved on and found other relationships would be the most “reasonable” outcome.

However, was that what Shi Hai himself wanted?

In his heart, Shi Hai didn’t want to see them dating other men.

If they were strangers, it wouldn’t matter.

But in such a short time, they had already entered his life and become impossible to ignore.

Emotion crept into Shi Hai’s rational deliberations.

“I…”

Shi Hai opened his mouth but couldn’t find the words to continue.

Speechless.

Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie were thrilled to see Shi Hai’s hesitation.

It meant he was genuinely wavering!

In the end, Shi Hai couldn’t articulate his feelings, nor could he outright oppose them anymore. Instead, he shifted the focus, saying:

“But this isn’t something you can just talk about and make happen. Can you really do it?”

Shi Hai emphasized, “I don’t mean liking each other as friends or besties, but genuine love.”

Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie exchanged a look. This time, though, it wasn’t just for silent communication; it was to confirm their feelings.

They hadn’t reached the level Shi Hai was describing yet, and would probably never do.

But, Jian Sichun, full of confidence, declared:

“Honestly? Not yet— But I believe it’s possible in the future!”

“And your reason for believing that?”

Shi Hai pressed further.

After all, anyone could make promises, but whether they truly had the resolve to follow through was a different matter.

Jian Sichun wasn’t blindly confident. She had her reasons—though they were, admittedly, a bit unorthodox.

“Of course I have a reason! Sometimes I even think Lingling is super hot.”

Shi Hai was dumbfounded.

“Huh?”

Zhu Lingjie froze.

“Eh?”

Neither of them expected Jian Sichun to use “that angle” to justify her claim.

“Like her pajamas, for instance—you know what she wears to bed?”

“Wait, wait, wait, Sisi! Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden…”

Ignoring Zhu Lingjie’s flustered protests, Jian Sichun pointed to her stomach and exaggeratedly said:

“She wears a dudou! A red dudou! Wow— I never thought people still actually wore those to bed. And from behind? That view, tsk tsk…”

“So that’s how you see me…”

Jian Sichun replied righteously, “Appreciating beauty is human nature!”

Shi Hai was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha… I see. This really is the best proof of how you feel about her.”

What else could he say?

“Shi Hai, you’re not the type of old-fashioned person who would argue against novel ideas with a ‘that’s improper’ attitude, are you?”

“Of course not…”

Now, if Shi Hai still wanted to refuse them, the only way left would be the most straightforward one: “I really don’t like you two, so please stop clinging to me.”

But he couldn’t bring himself to say that.

Because Shi Hai had always thought it was extremely contradictory to hurt someone for their own good.

Moreover, Shi Hai felt that he did like them.

Jian Sichun was a good girl, one his mother also liked, and Shi Hai found her adorable too.

As for Zhu Lingjie, there was no need to elaborate—they had known each other for so many years that it was impossible not to have some feelings for her.

Especially after learning that Zhu Lingjie’s past aloofness toward him was due to psychological issues, and the misunderstanding was cleared up.

Perhaps, for now, his feelings were still largely influenced by appearances, but Shi Hai felt they were genuinely special.

It wasn’t just because they were reincarnators, but also because they had qualities that set them apart from ordinary people.

Take this moment, for example—how many ordinary girls could sit in a restaurant and discuss something as unconventional as the three of them being together?

It was downright bizarre.

But Shi Hai just so happened to be the type who was drawn to the unusual.

This development was undeniably intriguing.

“I’ll ask one last time: have you two truly given up on the option of ‘not choosing Shi Hai’?”

That question—!

Both of them understood.

However, without hearing Shi Hai personally say it, they couldn’t completely let their guard down.

So, in the end, it was Jian Sichun who enthusiastically answered.

“We’re yours in life, your ghosts in death, and even if we reincarnate, we’ll come back as your wives!”

“Wow, that’s… quite heavy…”

Shi Hai closed his eyes and remained silent for a long moment. When he opened them again, he gave his conclusion.

“Alright, I get it. I’ll try moving in the direction you two suggested.”

He agreed to the three of them being together!

“Yeah~ Long live! We’ve won a great victory!”

Jian Sichun cheered out loud.

“Phew… That’s such a relief…”

Zhu Lingjie also patted her chest and let out a deep breath.

At last, they could rest easy.

No longer did they have to worry about being gradually distanced by Shi Hai.

With the serious discussion concluded, the three of them could now focus on building their relationship further.

Shi Hai had never imagined that his first love would take this form…

To have two lovers at the same time—wasn’t that far too indulgent?

But Shi Hai didn’t treasure it at all. He squeezed his hands and said, “Can you let go now? You’ve been holding on for so long—it must be uncomfortable for you too, right?”

“Ah—! Sorry, we must have made you uncomfortable for a long time…”

Zhu Lingjie immediately let go of Shi Hai’s hand, but Jian Sichun pouted and held the hand up in front of them both, asking, “Why? Are you disgusted by us?”

“Not disgusted, but my palms have gotten all sticky. Don’t you find that uncomfortable?”

“Not at all! I actually like this sticky feeling…”

Jian Sichun genuinely enjoyed the sticky, damp sensation.

Of course, at first, she also found it uncomfortable, but because it often happened later on, she eventually learned how to enjoy it.

As for why she often ended up in a “drenched” state, it wasn’t because she frequently got caught in the rain—it was because she usually “wore her clothes to bed.”

Speaking of clothes, Jian Sichun suddenly recalled her favorite hobby from her previous life.

“Hey, Shi Hai, how about we make cosplay costumes?”

“Oh, cosplay?”

“Yeah, I want to wear them for you. Can you make cosplay outfits for me?”

“You want me to make them?”

“Yes, you’re really good at making clothes! As long as I draw the designs, you can perfectly turn them into real outfits!”

“Alright, let’s give it a try. I should be able to manage.”

“Yay!”

Finally, she could start cosplaying again! Jian Sichun was ecstatic.

In truth, she had wanted to cosplay for a long time, but since her relationship with Shi Hai was still that of close friends, she hadn’t dared to bring it up.

After all, asking someone to make a cosplay outfit could be done with a boyfriend, but asking a male friend felt weird… especially since it involved taking measurements and all.

And honestly, just wearing cosplay outfits wasn’t really Jian Sichun’s hobby.

She didn’t attend conventions or exhibitions; the only person she cosplayed for was Shi Hai.

The key issue was that if they were just friends, nothing would happen after he saw the cosplay—there wouldn’t be any follow-up play…

After all, Jian Sichun’s passion was cosplay and play.

Each cosplay required a lot of effort, and if it was just for looks or photos, it would feel a bit wasteful, wouldn’t it? It had to leave a lasting impression, enough to be etched into memory.

So, Jian Sichun gradually developed the habit of “wearing her outfits at all times.”

In addition to Jian Sichun’s extremely clingy personality—practically like a koala clinging to a tree every single day—Shi Hai naturally played the role of that tree.

Winter was manageable, but even during the hottest days of summer, her behavior remained the same.

That was how Jian Sichun viewed the distance between herself and her boyfriend.

For her, warm and sticky had become the norm.

As she thought about it, Jian Sichun suddenly realized that from now on, Shi Hai was officially her boyfriend again.

Not just a friend, not a “guy bestie,” but a boyfriend.

Which meant she no longer had to worry about all those messy, complicated things…

She wasn’t great at overthinking anyway, so why should she burden her love-obsessed brain with unnecessary worries?

Anything about the future or their lives as reincarnators could just be left to her smart and capable boyfriend.

As Shi Hai’s girlfriend, her job was simply to heal his body and mind, making sure he lived a happy and comfortable life. If she could accomplish that, she’d consider her mission complete!

And this time… she could finally fulfill her dream of wearing a wedding dress for him.

After all, a wedding dress could count as cosplay, so it would also create some extra-special memories.

Jian Sichun had long wanted to experience what it felt like to wear a wedding dress.

It had to be pure bliss, right?

If there was anything to regret, it was that it wouldn’t be a two-person affair.

Zhu Lingjie would be there too.

But even with Zhu Lingjie included, Jian Sichun knew she wasn’t the type to compete for attention.

In fact, she thought there was no need for either of them to compete—why not just share?

If they really wanted alone time, they could simply stagger their schedules.

Besides, Zhu Lingjie played games and was fun to talk to, which made her great company.

On top of that, she was beautiful, with a different style than Jian Sichun, so she could tackle cosplay roles that Jian Sichun didn’t suit.

Adding a third person also increased their “operational possibilities” and unlocked more knowledge and options.

The more Jian Sichun thought about it, the more wonderful it seemed.

Last night, all she’d focused on was convincing Shi Hai, and she hadn’t seriously considered how to “share” a boyfriend with Zhu Lingjie.

But now, after pondering it, she suddenly felt this three-person relationship might turn out even better than before.

“Ahaha~”

However, Shi Hai rudely interrupted Jian Sichun’s daydreaming.

“Sichun, stop grinning like a fool. No inappropriate thoughts, okay?”

“What?!”

To Jian Sichun, Shi Hai’s words were a thunderbolt out of a clear sky!

She immediately bristled, slammed the table, and demanded, “Why not?! We’re in a three-person relationship now!”

“Precisely because there are three of us, we need to maintain a healthy dynamic,” Shi Hai replied.

“What kind of nonsense is that?!”

“Think about it. I have limited energy. If we don’t show some restraint, do you know what kind of terrifying thing might happen?”

Shi Hai narrowed his eyes and directed his words at her with subtle pressure.

Jian Sichun gulped and asked hesitantly, “What… what would happen?”

“I’d die of exhaustion.”

“—Seriously?! That’s it?!”

Jian Sichun rolled her eyes on the spot. She had thought Shi Hai was going to say something profound, but it turned out he was just worried about his stamina?

Shi Hai shrugged and said, “I’m joking, honestly, I just think it’s not the right time yet.”

“What’s not the right time? We’ve already decided to be together!”

“Even love has steps, doesn’t it? I haven’t even confessed to you two yet.”

“A confession…”

That sounded kind of nice to hear…

Wait, no! She couldn’t let him sidetrack her!

“That’s why we need to get closer quickly, isn’t it?”

Jian Sichun went full throttle, turning to seek backup from her ally.

“Lingling, you think so too, right?”

“Um…”

Zhu Lingjie gave an awkward smile.

To say she didn’t want to get closer would be a lie, but she was someone who could be easily satisfied.

After all, her main desire was to take care of Shi Hai, and nighttime “care” was just one aspect of that.

For example, feeding Shi Hai his meal right now already brought her a lot of joy.

“As long as I can stay by his side, I’m happy…”

“Ugh—!”

Her reliable ally had betrayed her!

Jian Sichun had been hoping that after dinner, their next stop would be a hotel.

She’d planned to go straight to the “main course,” sealing the deal and celebrating with champagne tonight.

But now, there would be no fun.

Why couldn’t they have some fun?

Come on, just a little fun!
