Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Chapter 567 - 213: A Lesson Written in Blood! Another Big 3 Christmas Eve!

Su Zelin casually caught a leaf in his hand.

Autumn always brings a feeling of sadness and loneliness. In this season, it’s easy to lament about the passing of time, adding inexplicable melancholy and confusion to one’s heart.

Suddenly, a strong impulse surged in his heart, and he couldn’t help but take out his phone from his pocket.

"Beep beep beep..."

He dialed the number he could press with his eyes closed. Soon, a gentle and soft girl’s voice came through the receiver: "Hello, Xiaolinzi?"

The childhood friend’s tone carried a hint of surprise.

At this time, Su Zelin rarely called her.

"Accidentally dialed the wrong number, oh well, let’s chat a bit, Qin Shiqing, what color clothes are you wearing today?"

Su Zelin searched for a topic.

"Aren’t you boring? Orange!"

"I wasn’t asking about outerwear!"

"Go away, did you take the wrong medicine!"

"..."

The rascal didn’t know why he suddenly called Qin Shiqing, just that he wanted to hear her voice.

"That’s it then, bye-bye!"

After chatting for a bit, Su Zelin was about to hang up when Qin Shiqing stopped him: "Wait a minute!"

"Is there something else?"

The rascal asked lazily.

"Xiaolinzi, this Christmas Eve, why don’t you come to Zhejiang University?"

Qin Shiqing suddenly suggested.

It instantly startled the rascal.

In the last life, on Christmas Eve of junior year, he got careless, and the consequences were serious!

It’s a cursed and ominous day.

A bad omen!

And a bloody lesson!

He must keep a thousand eyes open to avoid repeating the mistakes.

Thinking of this, Su Banxian muttered to himself: "Dirty things all go away, dirty things all go away..."

"Xiaolinzi, what are you muttering over there, it sounds like chanting!"

Qin Shiqing on the other end didn’t hear clearly.

The rascal came back to his senses: "Ah, nothing, Qin Shiqing, what would I do over there on Christmas Eve?"

"That night you have to play my boyfriend!"

Qin Shiqing once again dropped a bombshell.

"Didn’t I act last time?"

Su Zelin frowned: "Your admirers know about it, right? I even checked on the Zhejiang University BBS. They all praised me as a tall, rich, and handsome man and said you’re not worthy!"

Qin Shiqing: "..."

You’re so confident, how dare you!

Don’t think I didn’t check the forum then.

Almost all the boys on BBS were criticizing you.

However, there was a peculiar one who seemed to be the harshest critic, but secretly, he was desperately supporting you, acting undercover in almost every post, preventing allied forces from launching attacks.

It’s weird, why would that guy secretly support Xiaolinzi?

Really suspect he has some abnormal tendencies!

Because of his steering, in the end, both male and female sides split into two factions and fought on BBS. I even logged in with a small account to argue with those who criticized my childhood friend.

Back then, Qin Shiqing even noticed her dormmates also logged in to support Su Zelin.

What shocked her the most was that even Yan Qiuwen supported her childhood friend several times.

You know, her genius roommate usually ignores external matters, focusing solely on studying.

I have to say, this guy has quite a few female supporters. He casually made an appearance at Zhejiang University, and almost all the girls praised him as a tall, rich, and handsome man... no, I mean tall, rich, and handsome.

High looks, young and wealthy, and romantic too.

The fuss on the Zhejiang University BBS went on for many days before it finally calmed down, and everyone at Zhejiang University knew by then that she had a boyfriend, a very outstanding guy.

Since then, even the most persistent pursuers vanished without a trace, and none have appeared until now.

However, Qin Shiqing was just hoping that Su Zelin could come over during the New Year’s Day.

Last time, playing the role of her childhood friend made her feel great, she had a very pleasant day, and the girl wanted to relive it again.

"It’s been a while, hasn’t it? You haven’t been to Zhejiang University, and recently there are posts on the Zhejiang University BBS saying I dumped you, so take advantage of Christmas Eve to come over and show those people that we’re still together!"

The girl’s tone was slightly tsundere.

Earlier, when Su Zelin mentioned someone on the Zhejiang University BBS saying she wasn’t worthy of him, Qin Shiqing felt a bit upset.

She had read those posts before, and no one made such comments.

It must have been a fabrication by her childhood friend.

The cheeky guy, it’s been a long time since she pinched him a few times, he’s forgotten how formidable I can be, right!

"What, they said you dumped me?"

Su Zelin almost jumped up like a big dog whose tail got stepped on.

"How could that be? Those idiots must be blind. I’m a tall, rich, and handsome guy. Even if we broke up, it would definitely be me dumping you!"

The rascal was stubborn as a dead duck.

Actually, in his previous life, it was indeed his childhood sweetheart who dumped him.

Qin Shiqing was also the only woman who ever dumped him.

All his other girlfriends either stayed with him or at most had an amicable breakup when they couldn’t tolerate him anymore. After all, Su Zelin was quite generous with separation payments, so no one parted on bad terms. Some even hooked up afterward for old times’ sake when they happened to meet.

"What’s impossible about that? No matter how handsome and rich you are, what good is it if others say you look like a slick playboy? I’m clearly the loyal type, so it was me who dumped you!"

Su Zelin fell silent.

He couldn’t deny being a playboy.

Besides, it was indeed the reason Qin Shiqing dumped him in his previous life.

The rascal awkwardly chatted with his childhood sweetheart for a bit, casually brushing over it.

"I can’t make it on Christmas night. I have to perform in the faculty show, and New Era is sponsoring the Christmas gala. Our company’s President Yang and President Kang will be there, plus there’s a visiting director. As the local host, I have to attend. How can I just run off?"

Su Zelin made up an excuse, though it wasn’t entirely a lie; there was some truth to it.

"President Su, you’re really busy as a bee. No worries. I’ll settle for seeing you after the gala!"

Qin Shiqing huffed.

"By the time the gala ends, how late will it be? What can we even do then?"

Su Zelin was at a loss.

"No problem, it’s Christmas break anyway, so we can stay out late. That night, Zhejiang University is having a Christmas Eve party after the gala, anyone can join. There’s bound to be a lot of people, and when they see us, the rumors will naturally be dispelled!"

The rascal thought, why don’t you suggest we get a room at the Romantic Coast Hotel by the back gate of Zhejiang University to really dispel the rumors?

"Xiaolinzi, listen to me. You have to show up on Christmas Eve. If such an important day passes without anyone seeing you by my side, does that sound okay? They’ll really start believing we’ve broken up, and everything we’ve done before would be for nothing!"

Qin Shiqing’s tone was non-negotiable.

Su Zelin thought she had a point.

If Qin Shiqing were alone on Christmas Eve, anyone would suspect whether she had already broken up.

Fine, he might as well go and make a brief appearance at that Christmas party.

This time he wouldn’t sneak in, and he bet nothing would go wrong!

"Alright then, but let’s agree that after the Christmas party, we each go back to our own homes and find our own mothers!"

Su Zelin laid down some ground rules.

"Fine, no problem, but you have to wear that Duck Down jacket and the scarf I knitted. That night, you must be fully engaged!"

Qin Shiqing agreed readily and added two conditions.

"Fine, fine, all according to you, you’re so nagging!"

"..."

A moment later, Qin Shiqing hung up the phone.

Back in her dorm room, she opened her computer, logged into Zhejiang University’s BBS, registered a small account, typed furiously, and quickly posted a thread.

Then she created another small account to continue posting.

...

At the School of Finance, Su Zelin was feeling a bit down.

Damn it, which bastard is so mean, uploading on Zhejiang University BBS about me being dumped by Qin Shiqing!

What about my reputation!

He grabbed lunch, skipped eating in the cafeteria with his five mischievous friends, and ate on the way back to the dorm. He needed to verify if this was really happening immediately.

On Zhejiang University’s BBS, there were indeed several such posts right on the homepage.

"Shocking! Tall, Rich, and Handsome Boyfriend Allegedly Dumped—Qin School Beauty is Single Again!"

"Why did Qin Shiqing Dump her Tall, Rich, and Handsome Boyfriend? The Reason Turns Out to be This!"

"..."

Goodness, even clickbait titles are here!

Su Zelin’s mindset exploded on the spot.

Looking at the posters, they were all from the same ID, surprisingly a woman.

No way!

How could there be a woman talking trash about me?

A guy like me, beloved by women from eight to eighty, and even all maternal creatures, there’s no reason a woman shouldn’t like me.

The other side must be a fat woman!

The kind with a confusing orientation!

Watch as I battle her for eight hundred rounds.

I’ll play her to death!

The rascal quickly entered Durant mode, using a small account to start flaming with that female netizen.
