Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?-Chapter 5: Why Did You Stop Pursuing Me?

TL: Etude

We were doing business!

Guo Zihang was one of those people who could smile warmly at everyone. If he had been more handsome, he could definitely be considered a heartthrob. Unfortunately, his looks were not up to par, making him just a passable charmer.

So, when Wang Huiru asked what they were up to, Guo Zihang readily spilled the beans about their day selling boxed lunches, speaking with pride as if it were a matter of great honor. freew ebnov el

In fact, Guo Zihang wasnt wrong in thinking this way. Such a feat would indeed seem quite impressive to others.

You see, high school students of this era were quite shy. Just asking a stranger for directions could make them nervous for half a day, let alone going out to make money.

Of course, there were some high school students who wanted to experience life and had the idea of earning money.

But at most, they would do part-time jobs like handing out flyers.

Yet, Jiang Qin managed to make a few hundred bucks through clever deals and playing middleman, buying low and selling high. Who wouldnt be confused hearing about this?

Wang Huirus father was an elementary school teacher with a monthly salary of just three thousand yuan. After deductions for various insurances and funds, it averaged to less than a hundred yuan per day.

Although the amount of money one makes shouldnt be measured in averages, the fact that Jiang Qin could earn two hundred and seventy yuan in a day was a massive shock to their worldview.

Especially when Wang Huiru heard Guo Zihang vividly describing how Jiang Qin coolly gave a cigarette to the internet caf manager and sold an address for two hundred yuan, Jiang Qins image grew significantly in her mind.

Jiang Qin, why did you suddenly start doing business?

To save money for a wife, Jiang Qin quipped.

Wang Huiru laughed at his remark: Youre starting to save from now? Just how precious a wife do you plan to marry?

Jiang Qins lips curled slightly: Depends on how many I marry. The more wives, the more money needed.

You want to marry several? Keep dreaming!

Then, Wang Huiru and Guo Zihang talked about college applications, their tone filled with longing for university life.

Jiang Qin, however, remained a silent observer, smiling without adding much to the conversation.

He had already experienced university life once, so he didnt yearn for it as much, nor did he feel the urge to interject.

Even though many of Guo Zihang and Wang Huirus fantasies about university life were far from reality, Jiang Qin didnt act like a know-it-all and correct them.

Life was something you needed to experience for yourself to find its meaning. Nobody has the right to arrogantly shatter someone elses dreams, even if they really did know a lot. Its important to consider whether the other person even wants to know.

During this time, Chu Siqi watched Jiang Qin with a cold gaze and a gloomy expression.

From the moment she rejected Jiang Qins confession, she felt as if he had become a different person.

He stopped reaching out to her on QQ, stopped sending good morning and good night messages, no longer left secret messages in her space, and even changed his profile picture and status.

It was as if they had become strangers.

What irritated her the most was that, just yesterday, while she was whimsically checking his space, she was suddenly forced out, only to find that he had locked his space.

This made her feel extremely agitated. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. So, she casually messaged him, asking why he locked his space and whether it was locked for everyone or just for her.

But until now, Jiang Qin hadnt replied to her, not even with a single character.

But why?

It was you who liked me, not the other way around. Why did you suddenly stop messaging me? Why did you kick me from your space!

I never explicitly said I disliked you, nor did I ask you to stop pursuing me. Why did you decide to give up on your own!

At this thought, Chu Siqi couldnt help but recall the afternoon she took the bus home. She had run into Jiang Qin and thought he had come to apologize.

At that time, she had thought that if Jiang Qin showed enough remorse and admitted his stubbornness, she might have given him a slight chance.

But to her surprise, he merely nodded slightly, then rode away on his bike.

Adolescent girls are often sensitive and prideful, and being treated this way by someone who once pursued her relentlessly would naturally fill anyone with a sense of grievance.

Thus, upon returning home, Chu Siqi threw a tantrum and swore never to speak to Jiang Qin again!

Even if Jiang Qin apologized or begged, she wouldnt soften her heart one bit.

However, just now, when she encountered Jiang Qin again on the street, Chu Siqi couldnt help but start fantasizing.

She secretly thought that if Jiang Qin greeted her first, admitting his mistake in a humble manner, she might respond coldly to him.

But to her astonishment, Jiang Qin remained calm throughout, only chatting briefly with Wang Huiru, and didnt even glance at her.

The more Chu Siqi thought about it, the angrier she became, her chest heaving with emotion. Holding Wang Huirus arm, she began to squeeze unconsciously.

Feeling the pain, Wang Huiru snapped back to reality. She glanced at her best friend and then at Jiang Qin, suddenly recalling the emotional entanglement between the two on the day of their college entrance examination.

No wonder they hadnt spoken to each other.

Perhaps Jiang Qin felt too inferior to speak to the goddess who had rejected him?

Actually, Wang Huiru had a pretty good impression of Jiang Qin.

Especially after hearing Guo Zihangs praises, she felt that Jiang Qin had a maturity not found in other boys.

So, she decided to give Jiang Qin a hand, perhaps even facilitate a good relationship. f(r)eenovelkiss.com

Jiang Qin!

Hmm?

With a sly look in her eyes, Wang Huiru teased, You mentioned earning money to marry a wife. Were you hinting at our Siqi?

Jiang Qins face turned pale, his right eyelid twitching, Big sister, please spare me.

Is that not the case?

The temple is too small to accommodate such fortune.

Hearing this, Chu Siqi couldnt hold back anymore. Her teeth clenched tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, Jiang Qin, what do you really mean?

Jiang Qin waved his hand dismissively, Nothing, Im heading off. You guys continue having fun.

You cant leave, I didnt permit you to leave!

Ignoring her, Jiang Qin cycled away, merging into the crowd on the street without looking back.

In his second life, he didnt feel the need to explain too much to someone he wouldnt be involved with anymore, so he didnt even bother speaking.

Staying true to ones original aspirations and remembering ones mission, did you think I was just playing around?

Chu Siqi stood there, watching his receding figure, feeling utterly aggrieved, tears uncontrollably spilling from her eyes.

She didnt suddenly realize she liked Jiang Qin like those clich novel heroines and regret her decision.

She just felt as if Jiang Qin looked down on her, as though she were something annoying, something he wanted to avoid at all costs.

Seeing her best friend speechless and choked with emotion, Wang Huiru was instantly panicked.

Wasnt it her best friend who rejected Jiang Qins confession?

Why was it that after Jiang Qin left, it was she who cried? What was this play about?
