Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

TL: Etude

In Dormitory 302, after receiving the invitation to the gathering, Zhou Chao took out his khaki trench coat, which he had kept at the bottom of his wardrobe. After putting it on and flipping up the collar, he looked as if he was ready for a high-stakes gambling showdown. However, he couldn’t stand the heat after half a day in it and obediently switched to a short-sleeve shirt.

“Damn, none of my clothes look good. Old Jiang, do you have any nice clothes I can borrow?”

Ren Ziqiang couldn’t help but laugh after hearing this: “Jiang is 1.8 meters tall. Even the best clothes would look like they’re worn by an underfed refugee on you.”

“Get lost, it’s the concentrated ones that are the essence. Don’t you understand?” Zhou Chao wasn’t insecure about his height, but he couldn’t stand others mentioning it.

Ren Ziqiang pursed his lips, then turned to the calm and collected Cao Guangyu: “Old Cao, aren’t you going to dress up?”

“Deliberately dressing up would be too pretentious. The real art of understatement is to remain unchanged in the face of changes. I always pay attention to my appearance, so there’s no need for gilding the lily now.”

Cao Guangyu spoke with a boastful air.

He had learned the phrase “the art of understatement” from Jiang Qin.

He believed that the reason Jiang Qin was so popular with girls was due to his carefree attitude and his boldness in breaking conventions.

You all dress up, hey, I don’t!

You all brag about being wealthy, hey, I just say I’m ordinary!

It was this strong contrast that always made him stand out among ordinary people.

“A load of grand principles. You lectured us at the start of the term, and in the end, you’re nothing. Till now, not to mention a girlfriend, you don’t even have a boyfriend!”

Ren Ziqiang’s words punctured Cao Guangyu’s facade of calm.

“When you guys tease each other, you’re pretty witty. But why do you become silent when you see girls?” Jiang Qin came out from the balcony, having changed into clean clothes and casually rolled up his trousers.

Zhou Chao pondered for a moment: “It’s not that we dare not speak, but that we don’t know what to say. Old Jiang, what do you talk about with Feng Nanshu?”

“Nothing much, just normal conversation.”

“What else if not conversation?”

“Pressing the Yongquan point, massaging the Neiting.” (Foot acupoints lmao)

“?????”

Cao Guangyu rolled his eyes at them: “Asking Old Jiang is pointless. If a girl likes you, she’ll enjoy listening to you talk about international affairs. If she doesn’t, even if you’re eloquent, she won’t give you a hum.”

“Old Cao, sometimes you are really clear-headed, but when it comes to yourself, you’re a mess.” Jiang Qin gave his assessment.

“Don’t worry about it. As long as you don’t show off tonight, Jian Chun is mine.”

“But as a brother, I have to break it to you. Jian Chun seems to have someone, that Zhuang Chen who skipped military training with her.”

Cao Guangyu didn’t care at all: “Old Jiang, apart from you and me, everyone else is trash. I fear no one.”

“Fine, consider what I just said as nothing.” Jiang Qin put on his shoes and opened the door. “I’m going out to run some errands. We’ll meet up at Shiwei Tian tonight.”

After hearing this, Cao Guangyu’s eyes lit up: “Don’t come too early tonight. Wait until I’ve caught Jian Chun’s eye. I’m afraid she might like you.”

“Oh, then I might as well not fucking go.”

“??????”

Jiang Qin left the dormitory and went to the Cui Zhu Garden community opposite the school to borrow a car key from Uncle Gong. He also took the opportunity to chat with Uncle Gong about Feng Nanshu.

Jiang Qin had always been curious about how the little rich lady developed her personality. So he took the chance to ask Uncle Gong, but Uncle Gong, adhering to his professional ethics as a driver, refused to discuss his employer’s family affairs. However, he asked Jiang Qin to take the young mistress out more often.

As the sun set, bathing everything in its afterglow, Jiang Qin, with Bentley car keys in hand, arrived at Shiwei Tian and met up with the students from the Finance Class 3.

Actually, university gatherings weren’t very interesting. The main activities were gossiping and talking about studies. Jiang Qin wasn’t interested in either, so he just focused on eating, ignoring the subtle hints from Song Qingsheng.

However, Jiang Qin’s silence inadvertently caught the attention of Jian Chun, sitting opposite him.

Before arriving, both Song Qingsheng and Jiang Tian had spent time dressing him up. Even if Jian Chun’s initial impression of him wasn’t great, she couldn’t help but pay more attention to him now.

The more she observed, the more she felt something was off.

Jiang Qin’s demeanor was composed; he didn’t interrupt or show off. Even when Song Qingsheng’s glances seemed to soar sky-high, he remained cool and indifferent.

Additionally, he occasionally frowned and gazed into the distance, deep in thought, appearing profound.

Would such a person frivolously pass notes to a girl he just met?

Jian Chun began to doubt her judgment. Compared to Jiang Qin, Cao Guangyu, who kept winking at her from various angles, seemed more like the flamboyant type.

At that moment, the rotund owner of Shiwei Tian walked over. Business was so good that even the owner had to step in as a waiter.

“All dishes are served. Enjoy your meal.”

“Wait a minute, boss, don’t leave just yet.”

“?”

With a slap, Jiang Qin pulled out the Bentley car keys and casually tossed them onto the table, startling the owner who thought he had knocked over a teapot. When he realized it was car keys…

“Bentley?”

“It’s been parked in the garage for too long. I rarely get a chance to drive it, so I thought I’d take it out for a spin.” Jiang Qin boasted.

The owner skeptically glanced at him: “A lighter, right?”

“Don’t you understand the difference between ‘machine’ and ‘bar’? After working near a university for so many years, how is your cultural level still so low? With that attitude, you’ll only ever drive a second-hand BMW in your life!”

The owner picked up the key and after examining it, realized it wasn’t a lighter, feeling a tinge of envy.

“Damn, driving a Bentley to school. Are university students nowadays this extravagant?”

Jiang Qin, seeing his reaction, felt smug. Since his rebirth, he had been the one to make others envious, never the other way around!

Meanwhile, Jian Chun couldn’t help but snort coldly, thinking that this man truly epitomized frivolity. Flaunting his car, was he trying to let the whole world know his family was rich? That note must have been from him.

Her fondness for Zhuang Chen, initially not strong, grew as she compared him with Jiang Qin, realizing Zhuang Chen was far better.

After the meal, Jiang Qin stood up, burped, and noticed Jian Chun coldly staring at him, puzzled.

“What are you looking at?”

Jian Chun switched to a smiling expression: “Young Master Jiang’s is so rich. With your generosity, you should treat us tonight, right?”

“Generous? I haven’t eaten your family’s rice. How can you just ask someone to treat? That’s really low.” Jiang Qin looked disgusted.

Jian Chun didn’t understand what he meant by ‘low’, but she sensed the sarcasm and her cheeks flushed red: “How about this? If you treat tonight, I’ll add you as a friend!”

“?????”

“What do you say?”

“Heh, crazy. Got drunk over a few dishes?”
