"Welcome!"

"A cup of coffee, um... and another serving of roasted cookies, please."

"Sure, please wait a moment."

It's nice to watch the rain outside through the glass. The items on the menu are not too expensive. I open my wallet, take a deep breath, and wait for my afternoon tea.

Rain is the most beautiful weather in summer, sweeping away troubles and bringing a touch of sadness.

The bustling and noisy streets are a lifeless place for those who don't have a girlfriend. I am already sixteen years old, don't I have any familiar friends to play with?

In the eyes of others, I may be an ordinary person, but in the eyes of my close friends, I am a child pretending to be mature in a vest (obviously handsome), and occasionally girls smile at me.

How did I not notice this before? It seems I need to reassess my style. The baggy pants and generic short-sleeved shirts don't have any outstanding features, do they?

"Am I really that charming?"

At this moment, a little boy holding his mother's hand looked at me in astonishment and turned his head to loudly say to his mother, "Mom, Mom! Look at that big sister, she looks so strange, wearing boys' baggy pants!"

Big sister?

I was slow to react. With a forced smile, I said to the child, "Look carefully, little brother, I am a boy!"

"Ah~ my goddess, your unusual dress fascinates me. Could you do me the honor of drinking the coffee I offer to you?"

A somewhat lecherous but still decent-looking handsome guy bends over backwards to please me.

He even kneels on one knee, confessing regardless of everything... How did I only just recognize him? It's Yuanhui!

"Don't make a fool of yourself, Yuanhui!"

"My goddess has personally investigated my information. It is truly destined to be a love of fate!"

No, I didn't just find out, but this coincidence fully corresponds to the misunderstanding that happened when we first met. Our personalities haven't changed much, but we have lost contact.

"My queen, please graciously reward me! Muah muah muah~"

"Snap out of it!"

"No! Let me give a kiss first... muah!"

He approached me with a disgusting face.

In a hurry, I punched him hard in the face and said, "Open your eyes wide and see clearly, I am a boy!"

"Huh?"

Yuanhui opened his mouth wide in an exaggerated manner and exclaimed in surprise.

As an apology, I let him pay for this afternoon tea.

"Sorry, bro. I mistook you for a girl. Come, come! Consider this afternoon tea as my apology."

"It's not a big deal. By the way, judging from your accent, you are not from the Kansai region, right?"

"Hehe, you're right! Little brother, we Kansai people are naturally gifted when it comes to picking up girls!"

Um... a tribe of naturally gifted "conquerors of love"?

"Oh, is that so?"

"Don't underestimate me, little bro. I'm only sixteen, but I've had quite a few girlfriends in middle school, usually five at the same time..."

Not only is he a pervert, but he's also a playboy. Even reincarnation won't change this.

He talks too much, so I have to interrupt his enjoyment. "That's enough. Would you believe it if I said we've met in a past life?"

"Of course I would!"

Seeing his naturally accepting expression, I was suddenly shocked in my heart!
