Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

TL: Etude

In mid-September, the military training finally came to an end. All the freshmen of Linchuan University gathered at the school’s playground for the final review and drill.

The scene was a sea of people, bustling and enormous.

Among them, one-fifth participated in the review, while the other four-fifths acted as spectators in the stands. However, the audience was more interested in the contest for the campus belle than the military training review. They were all engrossed in their phones, murmuring to themselves.

Jiang Qin, the instigator of the campus belle contest, sat at the back of the spectator stands, being interrogated by Gao Wenhui.

“Why is Feng Nanshu a banned word on your forum?” she asked.

“I can’t help it. She’s too pretty, it’s almost against the rules,” Jiang Qin spread his hands.

Gao Wenhui’s jealousy was palpable. “Your way of complimenting people is flawless, no wonder Nanshu sticks to you all the time. But I protest, a contest without Feng Nanshu is unfair!”

“Big sister, the point of the campus belle theme was to stir up everyone’s enthusiasm for discussion. Controversy is necessary. Now, the goddesses from various faculties are evenly matched. Under these circumstances, no forum user accepts another’s superiority. It’s easy to get heated, keeping the buzz going. But if Feng Nanshu enters, it’s all over. Who would dare to overestimate themselves as the campus belle? That would just end the competition.”

“Are you using all these idioms to prepare for a postgraduate exam?” Gao Wenhui said, unconvinced.

This feeling is actually quite normal. I have a fairy-like roommate, but I can’t boast about it. That’s really frustrating.

Gao Wenhui’s face screamed, “I want to brag, I want to brag, I want to brag.”

“Xiao Gao, you’re not seeing the big picture. If the forum ultimately declares someone the number one campus belle, but she’s not as pretty as your roommate, wouldn’t you feel even more thrilled?”

Gao Wenhui thought about it and then frowned, “That’s a hidden thrill. It’s not satisfying if no one knows about it!”

At this moment, Fan Shuling suddenly turned around. “Jiang Qin, that top candidate for campus belle, Chu Siqi, is your ex-girlfriend, right?”

“Huh?”

“I saw her on South Street the other day, arguing with Hong Yan, who ranks third, over you. You were there too.”

Fan Shuling’s voice was a bit loud, or perhaps she did it on purpose. It drew the attention of the boys from the finance class who turned to look at Jiang Qin, making him feel a chill on his scalp and his molars grinding.

The most beautiful girl in the university sticks to him every day, and now the two most popular goddesses from the law faculty are also related to him?

What the hell is this guy doing? Is he playing some new kind of character collection game?

Why does he deserve this?

Ever since Feng Nanshu asked him to open a bottle cap, all the boys had been pondering this question.

Jiang Qin is indeed a bit handsome, but there are others more handsome than him. Why do these aloof beauties change their demeanor as soon as they see him?

At this time, Jiang Qin finally understood why Fan Shuling had a bad face and a lot of hostility when they had dinner that day.

“It was just a simple gathering of friends.”

“Playboy!”

While they were talking, a sudden commotion erupted from the right side of the stands. A mineral water bottle was thrown, hitting the protective board behind the stands with a loud bang.

Seeing this, everyone in the stands turned their heads to look. They saw four boys fighting, with a girl shouting nearby. The boys sitting next to them also seemed eager to join in.

The student union staff responsible for maintaining order were shouting “Stop!” while rushing over anxiously.

“What’s going on?”

“A guy from the design department took a seat in our department’s area, and there was a scuffle. A girl from our department hit too hard and scratched a guy from the design department.”

Jiang Qin stood up to leave, but Fan Shuling glanced at him. “Where are you going? We haven’t finished talking about earlier!”

“I’m going to the bathroom. You coming too?”

“Get lost!”

Jiang Qin grinned and walked along the aisle beside the stands towards the exit. The entrance to the bathroom was right behind the scene of the fight. He tried to squeeze through twice but couldn’t, so he had no choice but to wait on the side.

Meanwhile, a girl from the design department with a ponytail stood in the middle, furiously demanding an apology from the finance department. Zhu Feng and several student union members argued back, but their voices were not as loud as hers.

But clearly, neither the design department nor the finance department was willing to apologize.

It was a joke, after all. This was the review assembly, and all the freshmen were watching. If the student union cadres bowed to another department, what authority would they have left? How could they carry out student work in the future?

“You guys from your department came to ours to take seats first. You should apologize first!”

“Taking seats is wrong, but your department hit someone first. There’s no way we’re apologizing first!”

“Does the design department have any sense of reason?”

Just as the two sides were about to clash again, Jiang Qin couldn’t hold back any longer: “Enough, can you stop arguing? I’m about to pee my pants here. Is this petty issue really worth all this fuss?”

Hearing this voice, the two student union members turned to look at him.

“A grown man going to another department to take seats? Are you that big? Aren’t the seats in the Design Department enough for you? Show some dignity, you guys apologize first!”

Hearing this, the student cadres from the finance department all frowned. What Jiang Qin said made sense, but the other party was clearly clinging to the point of “who acted first” and was being unreasonably stubborn, so they definitely wouldn’t apologize first.

As expected, the scratched guy showed no intention of apologizing and even seemed ready to continue the argument.

Jiang Qin frowned and looked at the design department’s student cadre with a ponytail: “Xuemei, you have to admit fault when you’re wrong, whether it’s work or study.”

“Alright, since you’re the boss,” Lu Xuemei bit her lip and glanced at the guy beside her, “Apologize to them.”

“I…” The scratched guy gritted his teeth, clearly unwilling, but finally muttered an apology.

Jiang Qin looked towards the finance department: “The person who scratched should also apologize. Also, someone from the finance department should take him to the medical office to get a plaster or something, so as not to affect his dating prospects.”

“I’ll go then.”

Xu Junli, the head of PR of the finance department, recognized Jiang Qin as the young master with the Bentley from the other day. He had been looking for an opportunity to make friends with Jiang Qin, and this was a chance to give him face.

Seeing the finance department’s student cadre taking the initiative, Lu Xuemei’s anger dissipated a lot, and she didn’t say much more.

Just like that, a conflict that looked set to escalate abruptly came to an end. Jiang Qin quickly went to the bathroom, and when he came out, he looked much more relaxed.

“Isn’t that Feng Nanshu’s boyfriend?” Zhu Feng, the chair of the finance department union, was confused, “We argued for so long, and it wasn’t as effective as his single sentence?”

The vice-chair, Ma Jiangming, scratched his head, “Maybe it’s because what he said made more sense? The design department was persuaded?”

“Have you been drinking? Didn’t I say the same things? More than once!”

“Then I don’t know.” Ma Jiangming shook his head.

Zhu Feng was even more puzzled, “The design department is one thing. Why would Xu Junli, a cadre, listen to a freshman?”

“Then I know even less.”

“Who is the chairperson of our department?”

“Of course, it’s you, Sister Zhu.”

“Then what is Jiang Qin?”

“Just an ordinary freshman.”

“But why do I feel like I’m less of a chair than him?”

“It’s an illusion, all an illusion.”

Zhu Feng thought for a moment, “Ma Jiangming, go ask him later if he wants to join the student union.”

“He definitely will, I’ve never seen anyone who doesn’t want to join the student union.” Ma Jiangming patted his chest and assured.
