Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 345 - 141: Finally Meeting the Legendary Mysterious Girl!
Granny Su almost choked.
Having a son like this, there’s no hope.
Why not just marry him off to Lu Haoran and adopt a grandson.
Or maybe have a second child, see if the old tree can bloom again, might not be too late.
In the future, when making a will, leave the house and savings to the second child...
Just then, Su Zelin added, "Mom, it doesn’t really matter how I spend my birthday. What matters is that you gave birth to me after carrying me for ten months. As they say, ’A child’s birth is a mother’s day of pain.’ So, on my birthday, I need to wish you health and happiness. Your son is now a man of responsibility; you don’t have to worry about me all the time!"
His heartfelt words made Zhao Lixia’s eyes instantly misty.
Although this cheeky kid has been a trouble for eighteen years, he’s finally becoming mature and understanding. He even remembers the hardships his mother went through to bring him into this world.
Oh well, forget about the second child. The family estate will just go to him...
Just hope he doesn’t end up marrying Lu Haoran, leaving the Su family without descendants.
...
The summer sky darkened a bit later than usual; by half-past six, the sun reluctantly set, finally easing the sultry heat.
At this moment, the phone rang again, showing a local Lin’an number.
Su Zelin found it odd at first glance.
It wasn’t the landline from Haoran’s dorm room, and although Lu Haoran knew it was his birthday, he had called at noon, congratulating him. He also told him he’d be having dinner with his dorm mates. Huang Panpan had also called.
As for others, no one really knew about his birthday. Even in the class records, only the year and month were noted, and he had listed down all the dorm’s landline numbers in his phonebook.
Could it be someone else needing something, or did they dial the wrong number?
Filled with curiosity, Su Zelin answered.
"Zelin, happy birthday!"
"Qin Shiqing?"
Su Zelin was puzzled. It wasn’t strange for his childhood friend to call. What was odd was why she didn’t use the dorm’s landline?
"Thanks, but where’s this number from?"
Su Zelin asked casually.
"From near the bus stop. I’m waiting for the bus to the finance college!"
Qin Shiqing said with a laugh.
"What? Why are you coming to the finance college? Didn’t I say I was having dinner with my dorm tonight?"
Qin Shiqing’s sudden decision to come left the rascal a bit caught off guard.
"I know. I just wanted to meet your dorm mates. After all, you know all my roommates!"
Her reasoning was impeccable.
"That’s unfortunate; we’ve already left."
The rascal quickly devised a plan.
"So early? In summer, don’t you guys usually have dinner quite late?"
"It’s my birthday today, it’s different from usual."
"I don’t believe you. Are you lying to me? I’ll have to come check. See you later, click!"
With that, Qin Shiqing hung up.
Damn, this woman is causing trouble again!
Time to make a quick escape!
With that thought, Su Zelin stopped playing on the computer: "Brothers, let’s head out!"
"Third Brother, so soon? Didn’t we say seven o’clock?"
Cai Wensheng asked, puzzled.
In such hot weather, going for dinner too early could ruin the appetite. Plus, Su Zelin often went for basketball or jogging in the evenings, so dinners were usually scheduled after dark. Tonight’s was also set for seven.
"I’m hungry, let’s go earlier."
Su Zelin made up a random excuse.
"Alright then."
No one thought much of it.
Just as they were stepping out of the men’s dorm district gate, a figure standing not far away caught everyone’s attention simultaneously.
She was like a girl stepping right out of a comic book.
With delicate features and picturesque eyebrows, her balanced and full oval face held a pair of clear, bright eyes like precious gems.
Her skin was as white as jade, radiating an ivory sheen, with rosy cheeks and soft, rosy lips like two vivid pink petals.
Standing there quietly, the girl’s demeanor was pleasant and natural as if she were a beautiful painting.
A goddess!
Everyone thought the same word. How could such a goddess exist in the real world? She should only exist in the animated realm!
The girl approached and spoke to the stunned rascal: "Hi, Zelin."
Her gentle smile revealed neat, white teeth like jade.
Her voice was so enchanting, it was like a cool breeze on a scorching summer day, instantly refreshing everyone.
The five rascals were in shock,
This goddess, knows the Third Brother?
Qin Shiqing’s lips curled into a proud smile.
In fact, the phone call earlier was made from the IC card phone booth just outside the men’s dorm district gate.
She only knew her childhood friend lived in the East dorm district, not the exact building or room, but for a clever Zhejiang University student, this wasn’t a problem.
Zelin, how about my little ploy to lure you out?
With just a small trick, I’ve caught you out, hehe~~
"Didn’t you just say you were at the bus stop outside the Zhejiang University gate?"
The rascal finally came to his senses.
"Yes, and that bus sure was fast. In no time, I was at the finance college."
Qin Shiqing scoffed. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
The rascal thought she was just bluffing. The fabled city bus 521 in Jiangcheng City, known to make even dogs throw up, wasn’t even that fast. It had only been a few minutes since she hung up.
No doubt, Qin Shiqing had made the call from the phone booth right by the gate.
