Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Chapter 547 - 206: How About Letting Qin Shiqing Get Along Peacefully with the Other Girls? (Part 4)

As soon as Huang Panpan got in the car, the honest guy was so nervous that he kept breaking out in a cold sweat.

Of course, Xiaoyanzi didn’t know about the time he accompanied Su Zelin and Huang Panpan for milk tea during the summer vacation, but the honest guy himself felt guilty.

Next time, he couldn’t go with Zelin to meet up; secrets would eventually come out, and Xiaoyanzi would definitely be very angry then.

But if he did that, it seemed a bit like prioritizing romance over friendship, which wasn’t fair to Zelin.

The honest guy was torn, caught in a dilemma.

Tang Yan quickly noticed something.

For some reason, the atmosphere between Qin Shiqing and Huang Panpan was subtle.

It wasn’t explosive, but it was hard to describe, just very awkward overall.

Tang Yan found it strange.

Halfway through, the sedan stopped at a gas station; it was running low on gas.

Su Zelin refueled the Santana while the others went to the restroom.

On the way, Xiaoyanzi pulled the honest guy aside: "Haoran, let me ask you something, don’t you think Shiqing and that little vixen seem weird?"

"Weird?"

Lu Haoran was taken aback.

He was sitting in the front row and hadn’t noticed anything.

"Yeah, I always feel like they’re constantly making small talk for no reason!"

Xiaoyanzi deliberated for a moment and felt this description fit the subtle atmosphere better.

"Making small talk for no reason, why would they do that?"

The honest guy was completely at a loss.

"If I knew, would I still need to ask you?"

Xiaoyanzi gave him a disgruntled glare.

"I always feel like there’s some unknown secret between Shiqing and the little vixen?"

Tang Yan murmured to herself.

"You’re overthinking it; what secret could there possibly be between them?"

Lu Haoran shook his head.

He thought it was impossible.

No matter how magnanimous Qin Shiqing was, not competing with the underclassman, they were still rivals in love; what secret could there really be!

...

It is often said that university is a makeover haven, and that’s not entirely untrue.

When they first started in their freshman year, the guys were still quite naive, wearing baggy pants and T-shirts, with their faces full of youthful recklessness, while the girls’ backpacks contained only books and stationery.

By their sophomore year, the guys had become much more mature and composed, no longer getting out of bed with disheveled hair, occasionally styling with mousse, and starting to pay attention to their appearance. The girls’ backpacks usually included a mirror, and they left the house looking well-dressed.

By their junior year, the guys had turned completely slick, with some of their aesthetics subtly changing, like Old Feng and Hou Yongjin already wearing trousers, shirts, and leather shoes, blending into society. Even the once shy Wen Sheng had become more outspoken, flirting boldly with Popcorn.

But there were also those who stayed true to themselves, like Zeng Kaiping, who remained youthful at heart; though the weather wasn’t very cold yet, every day the spirited guy would be in the dorm with shorts and slippers, only playing games and fishing on QQ, living the carefree university life.

"Bros, I’m heading out, no need to leave the door open tonight!"

Guo Fucheng from Hed tossed his luscious hair and took a box of condoms from a cardboard box under the bed, slipping it into his pocket.

He had been chatting intensely with a girl from Lin’an during the holiday at home, just waiting for the chance to meet up after returning to school.

While speaking, he pulled up the system panel for a look.

Mission progress — 13/20!

The revolution has not yet succeeded; comrades, continue your efforts!

But the system mission was more than halfway done; it wouldn’t take much longer!

The spirited guy clenched his fist.

"Ah Ping, we’re already juniors; in two years, we’ll have to step into society. How come you don’t feel any sense of urgency?"

Knowing full well it wouldn’t change Zeng Kaiping’s mind, as the dorm leader and big brother, Feng Zhongliang still good-naturedly nagged a bit.

He originally thought Zeng Kaiping was just eager to play during his freshman year for novelty, but he didn’t expect that this online dating habit would continue even into his junior year, which had Old Feng worried about his future.

Ah Ping’s grades were somewhat poor; if this continued, it would be hard to find a job after graduation!

"No worries, when the car reaches the mountain, there’ll be a way; when the boat reaches the bridge, it’ll go straight! If I really can’t get into a job, I’ll just go back to Guangzhou and work in a factory screwing bolts every day, living just fine with two beers and a plate of peanuts!"

Zeng Kaiping chuckled, forever the optimist just like he was in a past life.

But the spirited guy was truly blessed. Although his grades were lousy in his past life and he constantly had to retake courses, when he went back to Guangzhou, his family found someone to help him get into the national tax office. A few years later, when Hed was demolished, he didn’t even bother with the very good-paying iron rice bowl. The day after the news came out, he immediately submitted his resignation letter to the leadership and went on to live a carefree life.

Compared to Su Zelin, Zeng Kaiping could truly be considered the real carefree guy.

Because in the future, the tycoon from Hed only talked about money and not emotions with women, so he had no guilt or psychological burden.

Eventually, when the pressure from the family became too much, he spent money to find a girl with good conditions and a gene for twins for surrogacy, had a pair of twin sons, and handed over five million to the other party. After having these grandsons, his parents stopped bothering him, leaving the spirited guy free to play around, spending time in nightlife or flying off to meet friends.

Of course, among the six rogues of the dormitory, he looked up Su Zelin the most, after all being his mentor and idol.

"Alright then, suit yourself!"

Feng Zhongliang shook his head; as the dorm leader, he gave his advice, but if Zeng Kaiping didn’t listen, there was nothing he could do.

This kid really had guts, thinking of going back to his hometown to work in a factory screwing bolts, wasn’t college a waste then?

Let’s just hope Ah Ping has the good fortune that Old Three mentioned.

Feng Zhongliang slung his canvas bag over his shoulder and went off to self-study.
