Rebirth: I Want to Be a Hot Heroine

He Aiyuan let Qin Shi and Yu Zilin in, but the two were still marveling at the giant Barbie at the door.

"Who bought it?"

"Is this used to ward off evil spirits?"

"What role does it play at the door?"

Qin Shi kept talking, and Yu Zilin sat down and continued, "It's probably for the shape."

He Aiyuan was too lazy to argue with the two boys, "If you don't understand aesthetics, then don't talk."

Lin Tong and Ye Su raised their eyes and stared at the two of them, meaning: If you say anything else, you're done for.

Qin Shi touched his nose guiltily and changed the subject, "I brought you gifts before the New Year. I bought some fruit desserts."

"I also bought some snacks, gifts and so on." Yu Zilin responded, standing up and putting the large and small bags of things the two people brought into the kitchen from the door.

Qin Shi looked at Yu Zilin's actions and said, "I was busy during the New Year and didn't have time to come and party with you, so I brought some things casually. I don't know what you need, so I bought some perfumes and lipsticks that you girls like. You can pick whatever you like."

Ye Su joked: "You even know to buy these."

When He Aiyuan heard about perfume, her eyes lit up and she opened the perfume gift box without hesitation.

"Brother Qin Shi, why is your perfume for men?"

He Aiyuan sprayed a little bit and asked with a frown. It’s not that the smell is bad, but the fragrance is obviously a woody scent for boys.

She sprayed a little more and smelled it. "Hmm, it's mainly woody, with bergamot as the top note, cedar as the middle note, and a hint of jasmine. If I'm not mistaken, there's also a hint of tobacco."

He Aiyuan was lost in thought. She murmured, "I seem to have smelled this scent somewhere before. It's so familiar."

"Men's? I don't know. I saw an unopened bottle in my brother's bedroom. The packaging looked like women's, so I took it. I was thinking of giving it to someone else, so I asked him to buy another bottle."

Qin Shi explained, and Lin Tong's heart skipped a beat. When she returned home that night, He Aiyuan said that she smelled of men's perfume.

I just hope this girl doesn't continue thinking about it.

"Yuanyuan, let's go..." Let's cook...

Before Lin Tong finished speaking, He Aiyuan snapped her fingers and suddenly realized, "Sister, this is the smell you had when you came back that night. I was wondering why it was so familiar."

Lin Tong's eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself: Not good.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she met Ye Su's inquiring eyes. She immediately smiled and said, "I go in and out of those occasions every day now. It's normal to have this kind of perfume mixed on my body. Nowadays, no matter whether it's a girl or a boy, they are very particular when they go out."

He Aiyuan nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, this scent is actually quite common among boys."

Lin Tong breathed a sigh of relief and grinned, "I told you, it's normal."

He Aiyuan continued to tease, "But this tobacco smell is not common..."

Before He Aiyuan could finish her words, Lin Tong pulled her to the kitchen.

"You, what are you doing?"

"Nothing. It's getting late, so I'm preparing dinner." Lin Tong blinked at her.

He Aiyuan felt a little regretful. "This tobacco scent is quite nice. It's not common. It should be very expensive. It's specially blended. I feel like there's something else I haven't smelled."

"Okay, Huggies, come and help me wash the vegetables."

He Aiyuan's attention was diverted, and she finally stopped worrying about this matter.

An Anxin accompanied Lin Tong in cooking. Although the two boys could not cook, they also came to help. Ye Su kept saying that he could cook, but he did not move.

Four people were squeezed in the kitchen, it was so crowded.

Lin Tong and He Aiyuan were forcibly expelled from the kitchen at the request of two boys.

Half an hour later, Yu Zilin poked his head out and asked, "I think it's also nice to go out for dinner. I know a restaurant that's pretty good! I'll treat you."

Lin Tong put on a fake smile and said, "Haha, I'm really sorry for bothering you. We can go out to eat, but please help me clean up the kitchen."

"Order!"

Lin Tong sighed helplessly. If I had known earlier why I would go through so much trouble, I would have just gone out to eat.

"Hey, Susu, why don't you talk to Yu Zilin?"

Ye Su paused, his eyes concealing his words: "What is there to say?"

"Ok."

Lin Tong smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

It’s just that Ye Su’s awkward look is a little cute.

The two older boys cleaned up the kitchen.

The five people changed their clothes and went out. Yu Zilin took them to the restaurant he mentioned. He called to reserve a private room before they went.

As soon as they sat down, the waiter started serving the food.

"Come, I wish you a happy new year in advance. This is the first new year we spend together. We will get together and have a meal every new year in the future."

Qin Shi raised his glass and looked at Lin Tong with eyes full of young man's preference.

Ye Su also raised his glass and said, "Happy New Year."

Yu Zilin and Lin Tong raised their glasses and said, "Happy New Year."

He Aiyuan was moved by the atmosphere, poured herself a glass of wine, stood up suddenly and said: "Happy New Year to my brothers and sisters! I'll drink this first as a sign of respect."

Qin Shi knocked her head and said, "Fuwa is not allowed to drink alcohol. Change it to milk for me."

He Aiyuan looked at Lin Tong aggrievedly, and Lin Tong smiled and said, "Minors are not allowed to drink."

He Aiyuan curled her lips, changed the cup, and smiled again.

Cheers to them.

"Happy New Year!"

A Happy New Year, and a happy year ahead.

Halfway through the meal, Lin Tong drank a little too much, and her face was flushed. "I can't take it anymore. I'm going to the balcony to get some fresh air."

Lin Tong lay on the balcony railing, looking at the endless flow of people on the street downstairs, the red lanterns lit up on the tall buildings on all sides, and billboards with slogans such as "Happy New Year" and "Go Home for the New Year" placed everywhere.

She has no home, her home is here.

A gust of cold wind made Lin Tong shiver a little.

Suddenly, she felt a warm sensation on her back. Lin Tong turned around and saw Qin Shi putting his coat on her.

Lin Tong pulled his coat closer and asked, "Why don't you continue drinking with them?"

"Come out and see you."

"What do I have to see?"

“It’s always been pretty.”

Lin Tong rolled his eyes at him, and Qin Shi joked, "I've been studying for almost two months, and I'm almost dying of exhaustion."

"By the way, why are you suddenly so obsessed with studying? This is not your style, Young Master Qin."

"Then why did you suddenly start a business? I watched your video the day before yesterday, Lin Tong, you are now..."

Qin Shi hesitated to speak, he looked at Lin Tong with a serious gaze.

He wanted to say: Lin Tong, you are making it increasingly difficult for me to catch up with you.

"Isn't the video forbidden to be circulated?"

Qin Shi smiled and said, "I am considered an insider anyway, so I am not considered an outsider."

Lin Tong laughed a few times.

"Lin Tong, are you the real you now?"

Lin Tong nodded, looking into the distance, "This is the real me. I originally thought that I could live in peace by giving in blindly, but later I found that I can only live in peace if I become stronger."
