Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

Chapter 269: She Took Her Man Away

TL: Etude Translations

The night on the pedestrian street grew increasingly dense, yet the visual effect was not much different from daytime, thanks to the brightly lit shops on both sides.

At the scene, everyone except Wang Huiru and Chu Siqi was almost stunned the moment the car stopped.

Feng Nanshu gave them the impression of a character stepping out of a painting, with her skin like frost and snow, her plump, rosy lips, and delicately curled eyelashes. The artist must have given her the most beautiful features in the world, for there was not a single flaw in her appearance.

Her most striking feature was her eyes: lively, colorful, clear, and pure.

One glance, two glances, three glances – her aloof expression made it difficult to stare directly, but even a hurried glance was enough to dazzle.

“Jiang Qin, they look so silly,” Feng Nanshu said softly with a cool face.

Jiang Qin couldn’t help but laugh at her serious demeanor, “You, being so silly yourself, dare to call others silly?”

The little rich lady immediately pouted, “Hurry up and come here. I’m taking you back. Look, it’s getting dark.”

“No, can you ride the bike and lead me?” Feng Nanshu’s eyelashes trembled slightly.

Jiang Qin, wanting the little rich lady to practice, shook his head: “There are so many people on this pedestrian street, and I’ve been drinking. Riding a bike is not safe, let alone with a passenger. Have you forgotten how Jian Chun crashed into an old lady?”

“Then you shouldn’t drink next time.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Heh, now you’re starting to control your friend’s drinking habits. Why do you only learn the bad things, you little devil?”

Jiang Qin lifted his pant leg and sat on the back seat of the electric bike, wrapping his arms around Feng Nanshu’s slender waist. His slightly muscular abdomen gently pressed against her backside as he waved goodbye to the people behind them.

Although the electric bike was bought for the little rich lady, when the two were together, it was usually Jiang Qin who rode with her. So, this was a new posture for them.

The suddenly embraced little rich lady was stunned for a moment, then spoke with some delight, “Jiang Qin, you should drink more when you go out.”

“?”

As the pink electric bike wobbled away, the celestial girl who had appeared so suddenly, with her cool and lively demeanor, disappeared down the street, taking her man in a suit with her, leaving behind a fleeting illusion.

However, less than a minute later, the pink electric bike wobbled back, and everyone heard Jiang Qin mutter, “Went the wrong way.”

“Jiang Qin, stop giving wrong directions. We’re back where we started.”

“You’re the one who got confused and went the wrong way. If I hadn’t stopped you from turning around, who knows where we would have ended up.”

“But the Earth is round.”

Feng Nanshu, cool as a ruthless assassin, slightly raised her eyes to glance at Chu Siqi standing in the crowd, then twisted the handle of the electric scooter, and whooshed off in the opposite direction.

After this back and forth, those standing in front of Nanshan Restaurant finally snapped out of their trance, their eyes filled with amazement.

Director Gu was the most astounded. She had been working at Broadcasting Education Center for four years, seen all sorts of beautiful university girls, and even had the chance to meet some female celebrities. She thought she had a good grasp of peak beauty, but it wasn’t until this moment that she realized what it meant to meet a moon goddess atop a mountain of jade.

Don’t think girls don’t like looking at beautiful women. As long as they are aesthetically pleasing, there’s no such thing as same-sex repulsion.

[The unnamed celestial girl, like a dazzling pearl, appeared in full view and took away her man.]

Out of professional habit, Gu Chunlei silently named that iconic scene in her heart.

“Who… is that?” Si Huiying broke the silence at the restaurant’s entrance.

Wang Huiru came to her senses: “Feng Nanshu, she went to our high school.”

Si Huiying’s mouth fell open slightly: “That name sounds familiar. Oh, I remember now, isn’t she the ‘Human Ideal’ you mentioned before?”

“Yes, that’s her.”

“She’s too aloof, isn’t she? I felt pressured without even getting close.”

“She was even colder in high school. Apart from answering questions in class, she didn’t talk to anyone. But who would have thought she liked Jiang Qin so much, to the point of riding a bike to pick him up. It’s unbelievable.”

Gu Chunlei also turned back: “So, Feng Nanshu is his girlfriend? The one who left love bites on his neck?”

Wang Huiru pondered for a moment and then nodded: “Probably. Jiang Qin has already taken her home for the New Year. I guess she’s been accepted by his family. Back in high school, the boys collectively cursed Jiang Qin on social media, as if they had all been dumped at once.”

“Is she also a student at Linchuan University?”

“Yes, she and Jiang Qin are both in the Finance Department.”

“That’s not right. She’s so beautiful and has such a presence. If she’s a student at Linchuan University, how could she not be in the campus beauty contest?”

Yao Junjie asked incredulously, expressing the bafflement of everyone there.

The Linchuan University beauty contest was the hottest and most fiercely contested among the four major universities. With her stunning beauty, how could she possibly hide in the contest?

With such a girl, wouldn’t the Finance Department be clamoring for who could compete with her?

At the time of the campus beauty contest, Yao Junjie watched it repeatedly every day. He clearly remembered that none of the eight candidates from the Finance Department made it to the finals, and they were even mocked by other departments. It just didn’t make sense.

In other words, even without the beauty contest, a girl with such extraordinary beauty couldn’t possibly remain unknown.

“What’s there to wonder about? You all know who organized the contest. Is it strange that she didn’t participate?”

With Wang Huiru’s casual remark, it was like lightning tearing through the night sky, clarifying everyone’s doubts.

Yes, the campus beauty contest was orchestrated by Jiang Qin, and he also managed the Zhihu forum. Who got selected and who didn’t was entirely up to him. In other words, Jiang Qin deliberately kept the most beautiful girl in Linchuan University out of sight, away from everyone else.

“Damn, that guy is really cunning!” Yao Junjie suddenly remembered the idiom he used earlier, “settling for the next best,” and couldn’t help feeling a bit embarrassed by his own words, remaining silent for a long time.

“No wonder Jiang Qin organized a beauty contest for four universities and never got involved in any scandals with any of the contestants.”

“Yeah, it seemed strange before, but now it all makes sense.”

Hearing the others’ discussions, Chu Siqi bit her lip, her courage shattering in an instant.

It had been too long since she faced Feng Nanshu directly. She thought she was ready, even confident with the aura of a first love. But upon seeing her again, Chu Siqi realized that no matter what aura she carried, she stood no chance against Feng Nanshu.

The logic was simple. If one were to put oneself in Jiang Qin’s shoes and ask whom they would choose, the answer would be crystal clear.

That beautiful, aloof girl, always snuggling in Jiang Qin’s arms and leaving love bites on him – who could resist that?

Everyone exhaled softly, not continuing the topic, but having satisfied their curiosity, they dispersed into the night.

Under the same night sky, the pink electric bike hummed forward, growing steadier as it entered Linchuan University.

Jiang Qin, finding that Feng Nanshu had a surprising talent for riding, relaxed and started checking his work group on his phone, dealing with business matters delayed by the interview, such as ground promotions and advertising.

When he looked up again, he found himself in pitch darkness, only able to see the surroundings by the light of his phone.

Goodness, had Feng Nanshu taken him into the maple forest on her bike?

“Little rich lady, why did you bring me here?” Jiang Qin asked, confused.

Feng Nanshu pursed her lips, her eyes shining brightly, “Jiang Qin, I don’t know what I want to do.”

“Is that so? You’d better really not know what to do…”

“I’m clueless and silly. Maybe I got lost.”

Jiang Qin got off the bike, walked around to the front, and looked at her: “I’m now convinced that you’re just pretending to be silly to trick me, and I can find evidence.”

Feng Nanshu, cool yet timid, narrowed her eyes: “Jiang Qin, I would never lie to you, so you have no evidence.”

“Then sit down, and I’ll show you the evidence.”

“I can listen while standing.”

Jiang Qin patted her head: “If you’re not obedient, don’t expect me to hold you again.”

The little rich lady reluctantly parked the bike and sat on the bench, watching as Jiang Qin crouched down, swiftly untied her left shoe’s laces, and gently slipped off her shoe, revealing her tender little foot in a white lace sock.

“See, this is the evidence.”

Feng Nanshu was stunned for a moment: “Jiang Qin, this is my foot.”

“You washed your feet before coming to meet me, clearly prepared. So, you planned to lure me into the maple forest from the start.” Jiang Qin looked at her with a cool expression.

The little rich lady pursed her lips: “Jiang Qin, I would wash my feet even if I didn’t come to see you.”

“So, you really are silly?”

“Don’t be scared. I really don’t understand anything.”

Jiang Qin lifted her onto his lap, thinking to himself that he would trust her this one more time, his sweet, soft friend.

Feng Nanshu squinted her eyes, leaning on his shoulder, then quietly took out her phone from her pocket, opened the WAP browser, and secretly searched for what else ‘good friends’ could do.
