Chapter 17.1: Recollections
After a while, Jian Sichun returned to the living room, her face still flushed.
She walked with a slightly awkward gait, her hands pressed against her skirt.
It seemed like she was in a very embarrassing state…
Shi Hai sat up, wanting to continue their conversation about reincarnation, but Jian Sichun was fixated on the spot where he had just been sitting.
In truth, the carpet in Shi Hai’s house was dark, so unless one looked closely, it was hard to notice.
Even if one did, there was only a small stain the size of half a fist.
Jian Sichun didn’t know why she felt so ashamed.
She had done more embarrassing things before… but now, in front of Shi Hai from the past, she felt a resurgence of her long-lost girlish shame.
“We need to clean the carpet!” she exclaimed.
With that, Jian Sichun knelt down and started to pull at the edge of the carpet.
But given her current state, it was difficult to exert force without risking exposure.
She urged Shi Hai to help her.
“Don’t just stand there! Help me!”
“It’s just a little wet. We can wipe it clean; there’s no need to wash the whole carpet…”
It was mainly because Shi Hai found it troublesome.
He hated dealing with such bothersome tasks and preferred to avoid unnecessary effort.
“Besides, you said it didn’t have a smell, right? I didn’t smell anything either.”
Jian Sichun glared at him.
“That doesn’t matter! I’ll keep thinking about it! We have to clean it right away!”
The timid demeanor she had shown earlier vanished.
It seemed that when it came to her dignity as a girl, Jian Sichun could become quite forceful.
In the end, Shi Hai helped her move the coffee table and the low table.
Jian Sichun expertly rolled up the carpet and took it to the bathroom.
However, the washing machine at Shi Hai’s house couldn’t handle such a large item.
“So we have to wash it by hand…”
Without hesitation, Jian Sichun started filling a basin with water.
Shi Hai followed her to the bathroom door, finding it amusing that Jian Sichun was seriously about to wash the carpet on the spot.
“Hahaha~~”
“What’s so funny! This is more embarrassing than wetting the bed as a kid!”
Jian Sichun was annoyed.
Shi Hai laughed even harder.
“Hahahaha~~ Isn’t it funny?”
Shi Hai leaned against the door frame, arms crossed.
“Generally, when people come back to life, they try to erase their embarrassing histories. But you, on your first day back, created a brand new embarrassing history…”
“I didn’t want to! Who told you to scare me…”
Jian Sichun was genuinely frightened.
After all, she had planned to keep the fact that she was reborn a secret until her death…
But it was exposed on the first day.
How was the plot supposed to progress now?
“Think positively. At least you don’t have to take this secret to your grave, right?”
“Is that really a good thing…”
“Of course. Having a secret you can’t tell anyone is a heavy burden.”
“Ah…”
Indeed, keeping a secret is difficult.
Especially when it means hiding something from the most important person in your life…
In her previous life, she had never hidden anything from him, but in this life, a barrier had arisen because of her reincarnation.
This felt like a regression.
Thinking this, Jian Sichun blinked and murmured.
“It is a good thing…”
Her mood shifted, and she smiled warmly at Shi Hai.
“So, in the end, I still can’t keep any secrets from you…”
This girl is really adorable.
Shi Hai spread his hands and asked.
“So, are you going to tell me everything?”
“No…”
Although Shi Hai now knew about her reincarnation, Jian Sichun still couldn’t speak about his future fate.
