Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

TL: Etude

“Senior, what exactly does the publicity department do?”

“Do you have a girlfriend, Senior?”

“Senior, you’re from the same hometown as me, right? Which neighborhood?”

During the walk from the comprehensive building to the second cafeteria, the girls from the finance department surrounded Senior Xu, bombarding him with questions, giving him the star treatment.

At that moment, a black Bentley drove past them, slowly proceeding along College Second Road and eventually stopping at the main entrance of the cafeteria, drawing everyone’s attention.

This car, with its unfamiliar out-of-town license plate, technically shouldn’t have been allowed in, but the gatekeeper didn’t dare stop it, nor did the patrolling security guards dare to inquire, allowing it to enter unabashedly.

“Wow, that black car looks so imposing. I didn’t see the brand; what kind of car is it?”

“Just look at the hubcaps and you’ll know. It’s Bentley, a top-tier luxury car brand from England,” Xu Junli casually remarked.

Pan Xiu’s eyes lit up when she heard ‘luxury car’: “Senior, what kind of car does your family have? Is it also a top-tier luxury car?”

Xu Junli couldn’t help but touch his nose: “A car like that would probably cost several million. Ordinary families can’t afford it. Though my family could buy one, there’s no need to spend all our money on a car. After all, it’s just a means of transportation.”

“Being able to afford it is already impressive. Not many families can afford a Bentley nowadays,” Song Qingsong couldn’t help but play along.

“There’s nothing impressive about it. I usually keep a low profile at school and don’t reveal much about my family. I don’t want to put pressure on my friends.”

Hearing this, Ren Ziqiang, Cao Guangyu, and Zhou Chao behind him were so infuriated they almost drew knives.

You’re calling yourself low-key?

You’ve been bragging the whole way, and we’re sick of hearing it!

And your wrist, always showing off that watch, don’t you ever put it down? Doesn’t holding it up like that make your arm sore?

You flaunt and pretend to be humble, trying to act like a saint when you’re anything but.

But, Xu Junli’s skills are indeed superior to Cao Guangyu’s, and many girls genuinely fell for this act, eliciting several wows from the crowd, making Xu Junli quite pleased, his smile growing wider.

“See, that’s a real rich and handsome guy, much more elegant than those who pretend to be aloof when they have nothing,” Song Qingsong couldn’t resist another jab at Jiang Tian.

As soon as she finished speaking, the left rear door of the black Bentley suddenly opened.

Under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Qin emerged from the car, his left hand on the door frame and his right hand holding a promotional fan casually taken from a printing shop.

Feng Nanshu wanted to follow him, but he gently pushed her back into the car.

“It’s too hot at noon, let Uncle Gong drive you back to the dorm. Come out and play when it’s cooler in the evening.”

“Oh.”

Feng Nanshu responded softly, casting a longing glance through the car window before the car drove away.

Meanwhile, the group preparing to cross the road froze, staring bewilderedly at the figure fanning himself.

What’s going on…

Is that Jiang Qin from their class, brought in by a Bentley?

“What a coincidence, are you guys here too?”

Hearing Jiang Qin’s voice, Song Qingsong suddenly felt suffocated, the humiliation of being splashed in the face a few days ago resurfacing. She instinctively clung to Jiang Tian’s arm, seemingly seeking some sense of reality.

Jiang Qin walked over, first addressing Cao Guangyu: “You just had surgery on Monday, and you’re already out of bed today?”

Cao Guangyu was almost tearful: “It’s fantastic, really damn fantastic.”

“Does it really feel good after a circumcision? Is it true? I thought the doctor said you needed to rest in bed for half a month.”

“No, no, I meant your arrival is just fantastic!”

Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao strongly agreed, nodding fervently along with Cao Guangyu.

They had just endured a whole journey of pretense from Xu Junli, bottling up their frustration, only to turn around and see Jiang Qin arriving in a Bentley, overshadowing everything effortlessly. They were thrilled inside.

What did a 15,000-yuan Longines watch or owning three supermarkets and a hotel matter in front of a Bentley?

It was genuinely satisfying; they had never thought that witnessing their roommate show off could be so enjoyable.

Jiang Qin’s arrival was subtly elegant and impeccable.

Jiang Qin looked at his roommates’ teary-eyed expressions, somewhat baffled: “What exactly are you finding so satisfying?”

“That Bentley is yours, isn’t it? Why don’t you tell everyone about your family? How many supermarkets and hotels do you own?” Cao Guangyu deliberately raised his voice, glancing at Xu Junli nearby.

Jiang Qin was momentarily stunned but quickly caught on.

Damn, Cao’s old habit of showing off in front of others was kicking in again, hinting for him to play along.

He wasn’t a bad person, just had this peculiar hobby. If Jiang didn’t go along with it, Cao would be miserable all day.

“Alright, no more pretending. Let’s be clear: I am the unremarkable Young Master Jiang.”

Cao Guangyu was delighted, thinking, ‘This is the understanding between brothers!’

Meanwhile, Zhou Chao and Ren Ziqiang felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.

Young Master Jiang, indeed, but adding ‘unremarkable’ to it was too much!

“Old Jiang, with your wealth, if you joined the student union, you should be the president. A ministerial position doesn’t suit you,” Cao Guangyu hinted, his words aimed at Xu Junli.

Jiang Qin missed the sarcasm and instead responded: “So, you got out of bed just to attend the student union interview? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t go? How did it go?”

Xu Junli suddenly spoke up: “It went well, there’s a high chance I’ll pass.”

“Who are you? Are you in our class?” Jiang Qin found the man before him unfamiliar.

“Let me introduce myself. I’m Xu Junli, a junior, your upperclassman. I’m currently the head of the publicity department in the student union.”

Xu Junli introduced himself politely and with ease. After all, someone who arrives in a Bentley is worth befriending. Connections like these are invaluable, even after graduating.

Jiang Qin suddenly realized: “Oh, so you’re that Senior Xu. You seem quite nice.”

“No, no, just offering some help. After all, new students like you might not be familiar with the school. It’s my duty as a student leader.”

Jiang Qin nodded in understanding, then turned to Cao Guangyu, Ren Ziqiang, and Zhou Chao: “Are you guys heading to the cafeteria or back to the dorm?”

“Let’s eat. I’ve been starving after the morning’s interview.”

Jiang Qin nodded at his roommate’s response: “Okay, then you guys eat slowly. I’m leaving now. Senior Xu, we’ll meet again when we have time.”

Xu Junli nodded gracefully: “No problem. If you encounter any issues in the department, just come to me. I can solve them all for you!”

“Jiang Qin, have you eaten yet?” Song Qingsong, seeing him about to leave, couldn’t help but speak up, “Why don’t you join us for lunch? My treat!”

“Forget it. The food in the cafeteria is too cheap. Eating it might spoil my mood for riding in the Bentley.”

“Oh, okay then…”

Song Qingsong looked at the fan in his hand, reading “Professional Men’s Health, Restoring Your Happiness,” yet she found him so imposing and hard to face.

“Qingsong, so this is your comparison? It’s indeed effective. Now I finally understand what an ordinary family is,” Jiang Tian couldn’t help but return her earlier sarcasm.

Song Qingsong’s face turned pale: “But he listed himself as from an ordinary family, I saw it clearly.”

“Forget it, I won’t believe you anymore.”

“…”

Song Qingsong sighed, glancing at her senior, who suddenly lowered his wrist that had been raised all this time, hiding the 15,000-yuan Longines watch in his pocket.

Indeed, the real wealthy are those who don’t leave a trace.
