Chapter 18.2: Best Friends
“Isn’t this already a change? Although examples like this are not enough to draw complete conclusions.”
“What conclusion do you want to reach?”
“I want to know if ‘fate’ as a ‘rule’ truly exists.”
“Fate…”
Besides that, Shi Hai had other concerns.
The most crucial one was that letter.
It was clearly sent by someone who ‘knew something.’
That person might have even anticipated Shi Hai’s actions, which is why both Jian Sichun and Tian Shui saw the contents of the letter.
And Tian Shui was another source of curiosity for Shi Hai.
Was she also a reincarnator like Jian Sichun?
After all, she seemed to know quite a bit about him as well…
With more mysteries and few clues, Shi Hai temporarily set aside his questions.
He woke up the daydreaming Jian Sichun and said,
“But these are not things you need to worry about.”
“Huh? Why?”
“As I said earlier, these aren’t the main points for you. You’re the protagonist of a reincarnation novel now, so just enjoy this rare second chance at life.”
As a reincarnator, not only did she quickly expose her secret, but she also created a new embarrassing incident of wetting herself and then ran to the bathroom to hand-wash the carpet.
How should he put it… she was a bit pitiful.
Shi Hai felt it was necessary to remind this naive girl.
“Although it’s only been nine years, a lot should have changed in these nine years.”
“Even if you don’t remember the lottery numbers or stock rises, as long as you remember some important events, you should be able to ride the wave of the times and achieve financial freedom quickly.”
“With money, you can do many things, whether it’s making up for regrets, enjoying your youth, or achieving great things…”
Starting a reverse harem, becoming a powerful female protagonist…
Living a carefree life is what makes a reincarnator’s story ‘enjoyable.’
Jian Sichun seemed to take Shi Hai’s advice to heart.
After some deep thought, she looked up and asked,
“Then… can I stay here?”
Cough, cough, cough!
Why!
Is this what you want to do?! What’s so good about my place? Why are you so persistent! Shi Hai rolled his eyes and mentally ranted.
He scratched his head in confusion and decided to ask the question.
“Alright… although I said I wouldn’t ask you about the future, there’s still one thing I want to confirm…”
Shi Hai pointed at Jian Sichun, then at himself, and asked,
“What is our relationship?”
“Um…”
Jian Sichun hesitated.
She couldn’t reveal that she was his girlfriend.
Besides, she didn’t know how Shi Hai would react if she admitted it.
As Shi Hai mentioned, their encounter had already undergone a significant change.
The trajectory after reincarnation was different from before.
Shi Hai pressed further.
“Are we in a romantic relationship?”
“Uh, are we…?”
Seeing her ambiguous attitude, Shi Hai understood.
“It seems this is a difficult thing for you to say.”
“No…”
Jian Sichun felt she couldn’t stay silent here.
This question would determine whether she would be ‘ordinary friends’ or ‘close friends’ with Shi Hai in the future.
Given her overly intimate behavior, there weren’t many plausible identity options.
This time, Jian Sichun didn’t panic.
After calmly considering all the reasonable options, she chose the most suitable one.
“Actually… you are my best guy friend.”
