Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 359 - 145: Qin Shiqing’s 18th Birthday Wish
The next morning, Huang Panpan went to school to fill out her college application. Just as she had told Su Zelin, she directly put her first choice as the Finance Academy in the second-tier universities, without filling out any others.
With a mindset of "succeed or perish trying," even if it meant repeating a year, the little junior was just that stubborn and spirited.
However, she did fill out several major options.
Her first choice was financial management, the same as Su Zelin’s, but she also included other majors from the School of Economics and Management and two expensive majors, to be safe in case her scores fell short and she needed to pay to get in.
Because they felt guilty, Huang Hongbo and Li Juan didn’t dare to speak up about their daughter’s college choice, letting her choose the Finance Academy.
But after submitting her application, Huang Panpan didn’t contact Su Zelin for a while. Although Su Zelin bore no grudge against her parents, the little junior felt embarrassed and ashamed, so she only stayed in touch via mobile for the time being.
New Heaven and Earth Internet Cafe.
A buddy was unavailable today, busy helping his parents.
So Su Zelin had to come to surf the internet alone.
Following his normal routine, he began by checking stocks after booting up.
There were steady rises; the momentum was actually good. However, after buying Shenghai Mei Lin and the ’flashback’ B-shares, any other stocks with less return seemed mundane, leaving Su Zelin unimpressed.
Then he browsed the news to see if he could find any quick money-making opportunities, only to be disappointed once again. Apparently, in the past couple of months, there wasn’t any significant high-profit investment. It seemed that was just how it was going to be.
With nothing else to do, he logged into QQ, finding a few friends online.
"Ding ding ding!"
New messages came swiftly.
Dawn Breaking: "Hey, are you online, big bro?"
In fact, Luo Xi’s online name was similar to Zeng Kaiping’s collection of poetic epithets like "The Fall in a Leaf" and "Ethereal Ink Like Smoke," and "Blossom at Midnight."
That’s why there’s a saying that these artsy screen names usually don’t belong to beauties, but the beauty ratio is so low, probably only about one percent, making them hard to come by.
Also, Su Zelin’s precise target audience chitchat tactic tends to scare away such beauties, leaving only those who bring good fortune and prosperity.
Su Zelin thought to himself that Ah Xi was truly bored; if it were a man, he’d be a sad case getting blocked after chatting with female netizens less than three times.
Handsomely One-Year-Old: "No, I’m riding a bike!"
Dawn Breaking: "Hahaha, you’re so funny, who rides a bike in an internet cafe?"
Handsomely One-Year-Old: "You know it, who asks someone if they’re online when they see them appear on QQ?"
Dawn Breaking: "What do you know? It’s called courtesy, just like when you visit someone’s home and see them eating, you’d ask ’Just having a meal?’ It’s the same principle. [Kitchen knife emoji]"
Handsomely One-Year-Old: "Is it comparable? Asking if someone’s eating is usually between less close friends, or when juniors see seniors. What is our relationship? Do I ever ask such dull questions when I’m online looking for you?"
Dawn Breaking: "That’s true. Every time you find me online, it’s either ’There’s a meeting in the department tonight, each class needs a representative, Ah Xi, you go,’ or ’The finals are coming, write a summary quickly,’ or ’The digital store has a promotion tomorrow morning, come help out.’ Big bro, I feel like I’ve become your tool person, free to use for public or private matters. [Pleading emoji]"
Handsomely One-Year-Old: "As they say, when a great responsibility is placed on someone, it first frustrates their spirit, exhausts their muscles and bones, starves their body, and puts them through adversity to hone their mind, strengthen their character, and increase their abilities. Ah Xi, I have you do so much to toughen you up. Even if others wanted to do it, I wouldn’t let them. [Smirk emoji]"
Dawn Breaking: "Yes, yes, you’re right about everything, but can you occasionally care for me too? Even as a tool person, I long to feel some warmth, even if it’s just a tiny bit of charity. [Anticipation emoji]"
Handsomely One-Year-Old: "Alright then, Ah Xi, did you have breakfast?"
Dawn Breaking: "It’s already 3 PM, your perfunctory... Forget it, I’ll just continue being the tool person, freely used as you wish, I’m so happy about it. [Crying emoji]"
Handsomely One-Year-Old: "Ah Xi, I didn’t know you had such special interests. In that case, I won’t hold back!"
Dawn Breaking: "..."
This bastard, I really want to bite him!
Gusu Province, Jinling City Center, Feiteng Internet Cafe.
Luo Xi looked at the chat window, grinding her teeth.
The girl next to her noticed her demeanor and couldn’t help but be curious, "Big sister, who are you so deeply at odds with?"
The girl was Luo Xi’s high school classmate. Luo Xi had served as class president all three years of high school, and many people were used to calling her ’big sister,’ which remained even after graduation.
"Who else could it be? My big bro!"
Luo Xi replied, frustrated.
"Oh, that’s your class president!"
The girl was instantly intrigued, "Big sister, when you said you only became the vice class president at the university, we were all so surprised!"
Though Luo Xi’s high school grades weren’t the top, she was assertive and capable, bringing an aura of a gifted prodigy. From elementary to high school, the class president position never slipped away from her.
"How did you lose to him? Does he have some extraordinary skills?"
The girl asked with a gossiping tone.
"Of course he has talents, and quite a few!"
"This guy is truly popular and highly charismatic. Once we started freshman year, within less than a month, he was warm with everyone!"
