Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 218 - 100: Maybe It’s That Mysterious Girl (Part 2)

Vice President of the Student Union of Zhejiang University's Public Administration Department: "Hehe, sure, when you arrive, give me a call and I'll bring the ticket out to you. By the way, the venue is over at the South District's Cultural Center. If you don't know where it is, just ask someone!"

So Handsome Since One Year Old: "Mm-hmm, got it!"

They chatted for a while longer and ended the conversation.

Su Zelin let out a long sigh.

For the first Christmas in college, just watch Qin Shiqing from afar like this.

No more next time.

Christmas Eve came in the blink of an eye.

In the evening, Zeng Kaiping took a shower early, applied mousse, and dressed up smartly, even spraying some cologne.

The energetic young man was as excited as a rooster in heat.

The female online friend "Yi Ye Zhi Qiu" was coming to Lin'an to celebrate with him.

On such a special day, even a fool could guess that this was a thousand-mile trip for a romantic encounter.

If this doesn't work out, I'll write my name backwards!

Thinking about ending his single life tonight and saying goodbye to the miserable days accompanied by Five Fingers and banana peels, Zeng Kaiping was filled with anticipation.

"Ah Ping, don't you think you're being too flamboyant, even wearing perfume!"

Hu Xu couldn't bear to watch.

Applying mousse is one thing, but a big guy wearing perfume!

"Ah Xu, what do you know? Cologne is a great tool for picking up chicks; it can stimulate female hormones and double your results!"

Zeng Kaiping was dismissive: "Don't say I didn't teach you. Learn a bit; maybe if you wear some, you might hit a home run with that girl from the Community Service Club tonight!"

"No thanks!"

Hu Xu declined without hesitation.

He wasn't like Zeng Kaiping, thinking about those things the first time he met someone.

Lao Si thought that since it's called dating, you have to talk first, fall in love gradually, and finally get intimate; a process needs to be followed.

Besides, the girl from the Community Service Club isn't as open as the young guy's "Yi Ye Zhi Qiu," who made a thousand-mile trip for this. She's a very traditional woman; things can't be rushed. If you're too hasty, you might scare her away.

So Hu Xu was ready for a long battle. In fact, in their previous life, until senior year, that girl was moved by his sincerity and agreed to be Lao Si's girlfriend, and she even became his wife later on.

"Fifth Brother, I wish you a great victory!"

Cai Wensheng offered his blessings.

"Hehe, of course, Ah Sheng. I have to tell you, your progress with Popcorn is too slow! Studying all the time is useless; you should learn from me!"

Zeng Kaiping, with the demeanor of an experienced elder, pompously lectured the young guy.

Su Zelin spoke up: "Ah Ping, remember my words, no matter what happens, you must hold your ground!"

This was the second time he'd said something like this. The young guy was a bit confused.

The Third Brother's words always carried a mysterious undertone.

What does 'hold your ground' mean?

Could it be that the Third Brother is worried that I'll be a three-second man and wants me to last a few more minutes?

But he was overthinking it. After so much practice with banana peels, five minutes should be no problem!

"Got it, Third Brother, I won't!"

Zeng Kaiping was full of confidence as he pulled out a long parka from the bed.

Ever since he saw Su Zelin wearing that cool long parka, the young guy quickly got one but hadn't yet dared to wear it, saving it for tonight's encounter with "Yi Ye Zhi Qiu" as his battle outfit.

He even imitated Su Zelin's move of flicking it into the air before quickly sliding his arms into the sleeves. However, he failed; the move didn't succeed, and the parka almost fell to the ground.

Zeng Kaiping felt a bit embarrassed.

The Third Brother's signature move was not something anyone could easily imitate.

He honestly put on the parka. Even though it was the same long parka, since Zeng Kaiping was less than 1.7 meters tall, it didn't have the same presence as on Su Zelin; instead, it looked a bit awkward on him.

However, the young guy felt good about himself. After putting on the outfit, he seemed to hear background music playing in his ears.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way..."

The Christmas BGM was indeed charming!

Taking out a box of condoms that he had bought earlier from a drawer and putting it in his pocket, Zeng Kaiping proudly announced: "Guys, I'm off. Sorry, but I can't accompany you all tonight. Oh, and don't wait up for me!"

"Damn, just hurry up and leave!"

Everyone couldn't stand his smugness and cursed at him.

His intention to brag accomplished, the young guy laughed heartily as he left.

After Zeng Kaiping left, Hou Yongjin suddenly spoke: "Third Brother, do you think this date of Ah Ping's might not go smoothly?"

He sensed that Su Zelin was implying something but didn't want to ask while Zeng Kaiping was there, fearing it would dampen his spirits.

After all, the young guy had been waiting for this Christmas Eve for so long and constantly talked to everyone about that female online friend.

"It's not that it won't go smoothly, just that it may not be as he wishes."

Su Zelin said lightly.

"Oh!"

Hou Yongjin was thoughtful.

Not going smoothly and not going as wished still have some differences.

If it doesn't go smoothly, it means he won't succeed.

If it doesn't go as wished, it means something else.

An hour later, at a commercial street in downtown Lin'an City, at the entrance of McDonald's.

Zeng Kaiping stood holding a bright red apple, eagerly waiting.

"Yi Ye Zhi Qiu" had already arrived in Lin'an and settled into a hotel, and they agreed to meet here at six o'clock.

She even got the hotel for me, saving me that expense; she's truly thoughtful and considerate.

Mm, we'll first have some McDonald's, then stroll around, catch a late movie, and everything will naturally fall into place, hehe!

Just as Zeng Kaiping was thinking this, he heard a female voice suddenly from behind: "Hello, are you 'So Handsome Since One Year Old'?"

"Yi Ye Zhi Qiu?"

It was his online friend's voice; they had talked many times over the phone, and Zeng Kaiping could recognize it.

He turned around happily, but upon seeing the figure behind him, the young guy froze, his eyes widened, and he seemed to turn into a stone statue.

With shoulder-length hair, a jeweled hairpin, and a bright red parka...

Yes, it matched exactly with the online friend's description.

However, Zeng Kaiping discovered that this "Yi Ye Zhi Qiu" was much larger than he imagined.

How to put it—even without a parka, she was about two sizes larger than most girls wearing one!

Damn, this is Yi Ye Zhi Qiu!

Zeng Kaiping finally understood what Su Zelin's words meant.

The young guy trembled, his limbs went weak, and the apple in his hand dropped to the ground, shattering into pieces.

...

As night fell, in the boys' dormitory of the Finance Institute.

Only three people were left in 302.

Cai Wensheng went to dinner with Popcorn from 501.

Although Hu Xu didn't dare to ask the girl from the Community Service Club out to play, he planned to run downstairs and give her an apple.

So it was just Feng Zhongliang, Hou Yongjin, and Su Zelin.

Seeing Su Zelin still leisurely browsing the Finance Institute's BBS, Feng Zhongliang couldn't help but ask: "Third Brother, aren't you going to watch your sister host the Christmas gala? Why haven't you left yet?"

"No rush, plenty of time!"

Su Zelin didn't even lift his head.

In winter, it got dark early. It was only about six-thirty.

The gala over at Zhejiang University didn't start until eight.

After posting another message on the forum, Su Zelin finally stood up, putting on a baseball cap and a pair of sunglasses.

"Third Brother, why are you wearing a hat and sunglasses to watch a gala?"

Feng Zhongliang was puzzled.

Su Zelin casually replied: "There are quite a few single girls at my sister's school, especially on Christmas Eve, and their hearts are filled with longing. I'm so handsome; I'm afraid they'll fall for me, so I thought it would be better to slightly hide my looks."

Old Feng wiped off some sweat. Oh, Third Brother, must you show off every single day?

"By the way, what university is your sister at?"

"Zhejiang University!"

Old Feng: "..."

Worried that girls from Zhejiang University would go crazy for you, a finance student – are you overthinking things?

The loafer leisurely left the dormitory.

At this point, Hou Yongjin, clutching a copy of "Thick and Black Theory," adjusted his glasses and slowly voiced: "I dare say, Third Brother may not be going to watch his sister host the Christmas gala."

Old Feng was taken aback: "Uh, then what's he going to do?"

"Watch a gala."

"Didn't you say Third Brother isn't going to watch a gala?"

"It's a gala, but it might not be the one hosted by his sister. Maybe there's a mysterious girl."

"Then why did he say it's his sister?"

"Hehe, that I don't know."

"..."
