Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 176 - 87: Literature Club Freshmen Gathering, a Promise Across Lifetimes with Nanaz! (Part 3)

"Why do you want to take pictures of me?"

"Because you have the potential to be a model. The photos will surely be full of aura, practically an artwork. This will be Teacher Su's best piece in my life. I'll give you a free album then, how does that sound?"

"Well... okay."

Ding Linna hesitated for a moment but then nodded in agreement.

Even though she knew that hooligan was always full of sweet talk, Nanaz still felt happy being complimented like that.

"So it's settled, no backing out, but the weather's not good for shooting now. Let's wait until after winter, when spring comes, it's a date!"

Su Zelin extended his pinky finger.

"How old are you? Still doing pinky promises like a kid!"

Despite her teasing, Ding Linna still reached out her pinky to hook with his.

The hooligan thought to himself, this is a promise between us across lifetimes. How can it not be serious?

"I'm grown up, but I still have to keep some childlike innocence in my heart. Haven't you heard the phrase, 'A man remains a boy till he dies'?"

Su Zelin grinned mischievously.

"Tch, childlike innocence, huh? Who knows how many girls you've messed around with!"

Ding Linna looked disdainful.

"I can swear, never in this life have I messed with any girl. Otherwise, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

Su Zelin raised a hand to the sky, dead serious.

"Even if you're not messing around now, sooner or later, you will!"

Ding Linna saw right through him: "I don't care if you mess with other girls, but you're absolutely not allowed to mess with my roommates!"

"The way you say it makes me sound like a jerk, Nanaz, don't forget I'm your class president, a noble and righteous class president!"

"..."

While the two were casually bantering, not far from the classroom, two pairs of eyes also fell on Ding Linna.

Unlike Teacher Su's innocent gaze of capturing and appreciating beauty, those two eyes held more complex things.

The owner of the gaze was a pretty boy with a delicate face, handsome yet more soft than masculine, a completely different type from the roguishly handsome Su Zelin.

In the literature club, this girl was the most beautiful. This snowy goose down coat wasn't cheap, clearly she's rich, holding a pocket romance, obviously a romantic-minded, brainless girl.

Brainless and rich, practically a perfect prey, but unfortunately there's an annoying guy around.

The pretty boy secretly sized up Ding Linna, plotting something sinister while unknowingly, Su Zelin was also paying attention to him.

This guy was the one who cheated Nanaz of her money in a past life, his name is Di Sishao, but my reincarnation disrupted his plans.

After observing the two for a while, Di Sishao quickly drew conclusions.

It seemed the man and woman weren't a couple, perhaps they just met at the literature club's first gathering. However, the girl seemed to have a good impression of that guy, after all, he's handsome and fits the taste of such a brainless girl.

If this continues, that guy might beat me to the punch.

A prey this good is rare, I can't just let it go easily.

Though that guy looks good too, he's too green. I could find a way to easily steal that girl away.

Having thought this, Di Sishao made a move, sitting in the seat behind the two, sporting what he believed was his brightest smile: "Hi, are you both newcomers to the literature department?"

Even though Di Sishao came on a bit suddenly, they were all part of the same club, meeting people and communicating at gatherings was normal, and his poetic act appeared overly passionate and friendly. If you're not familiar, you might be deceived, thinking he just wants to make friends.

At least Ding Linna didn't notice, nodding, "Yes!"

"Di Sishao, second-year investment major, nice to meet you both!"

The pretty boy "sincerely" introduced himself, but his attention was entirely on Ding Linna, completely ignoring Su Zelin beside her.

Su Zelin wasn't bothered, instead narrowing his eyes.

No worries, you act, perform with all your heart!

If Nanaz still gets tricked by you this time, I'll admit defeat!

"Ding Linna!"

Sure enough, Nanaz only introduced herself briefly, then continued bantering with the hooligan.

In the previous timeline, Su Zelin hadn't joined the literature club. At their first gathering, she was bored, conveniently getting targeted by Di Sishao. The poetic guy knew how to speak and understand girls' psychology, making Nanaz quickly develop a good impression of him, leading to her being deceived later.

But this lifetime is different. With Su Zelin by her side, Nanaz's attention is all on the hooligan, not bothering to care about the poetic guy at all.

Di Sishao felt awkward but didn't give up. He thickened his skin and tried to flaunt his artsyness.

To become a jerk, and to have deceived so many girls in a past life, Di Sishao naturally had his methods. He had good speaking skills, and understood how to play the literary art trick. Romantic literary girls would easily fall for it.

However, Nanaz was unmoved, for no matter in terms of looks, smooth talking, or flaunting literary arts, the pretty boy couldn't compare to Su Zelin.

Without the hooligan as a comparison, it might have been fine. However, Su Zelin had just shown off in front of a few literary girls and Nanaz, like a pearl, making Di Sishao's artsy flaunting appear stiff and shallow, more like he was flaunting it for the sake of flaunting, without Su Zelin's smoothness.

Not only was Nanaz not attracted, but she found the pretty boy a bit verbose and rude, thinking this person was really impolite, interrupting their good conversation. If he just came by to say hi and acquaint himself, that would be okay, but disturbing them like a fly, what's that all about?
