It Seems I’m Not The Only One Who Reincarnated

Why? How did he figure it out? How did he come to this conclusion?

Jian Sichun felt her mind go blank.

Although she had stared at Shi Hai’s face in the classroom out of excitement, she hadn’t said anything about being reborn.

Sichun knew she might have seemed overly familiar, but Tian Shui had already used the “stalker” excuse to cover for her.

At most, Shi Hai would think, “Maybe she investigated me beforehand.”

Being considered a stalker was annoying, but it was better than Shi Hai knowing the truth…

But he still asked.

Where? Where did he get the idea of reincarnation?

In her panic, Sichun forgot that her best response would have been to calmly pretend she didn’t understand. This allowed Shi Hai to draw his conclusion directly.

“Well… judging by your expression, it looks like my guess was spot on.”

“W-wait! It’s not like that!”

Shi Hai continued, “If it isn’t, can you explain how you knew my exact address?”

“Ugh—!”

The details of returning home flashed through Sichun’s mind. The subway station they entered, the line they took, the road they walked after getting off the subway, the residential complex they entered, the building, the unit, the floor…

All of it! She had shown with her actions that she “knew in advance,” even before Shi Hai had mentioned it.

The familiarity of walking with him and the eagerness to get home had made Sichun forget that this should have been her “first time going to Shi Hai’s house.”

Now she realized she had been careless, but it was too late.

Should she just admit to being a stalker?

Sichun fell into deep thought.

If she admitted to being a stalker, she might be kicked out immediately…

And Shi Hai would avoid her completely in the future. That would be a disaster.

But she couldn’t admit to being reborn; if Shi Hai questioned her further, she might have to tell him about his future death.

No… she couldn’t reveal this.

Sichun resolved that, even if she had to be considered a stalker, she couldn’t admit to being reborn.

“I’m a stalker—”

“If you were going to admit to being a stalker, you don’t need to. I already know you aren’t.”

This was also within Shi Hai’s predictions.

“Huh?”

Sichun was completely stunned.

“The reason is simple: why were you so shocked when you saw me in class?”

“Ah!”

Exactly, this was contradictory. If Sichun had “already investigated Shi Hai,” she wouldn’t have shown such a surprised expression upon seeing him.

At least, for Sichun, it shouldn’t have been the first time seeing Shi Hai.

“When you saw me, the shock on your face didn’t look like an act.”

Shi Hai had locked eyes with Sichun for a long time, and her expression was etched in his memory.

“If that was acting, then I have to say, your performance was too convincing. You could go into acting.”

Shi Hai continued, “However, because you wear an eye patch, I considered that you might be a ‘late-stage chuunibyou patient.'”

“Do you think I might have taken my delusions as reality?”

“Yes, at that time I wasn’t completely sure. There was a possibility that you had investigated everything about me and then created a ‘past life connection’ setting, immersing yourself so deeply in this chuunibyou setting that your performance seemed real.”

Jian Sichun realized that Shi Hai had intentionally guided the conversation towards the eye patch she was wearing.

She had even sworn in front of him that she wasn’t a chuunibyou patient…

“But you just ruled out that possibility yourself.”

“……”

“You seem normal, able to converse with me naturally, without any chaotic chuunibyou settings.”
