Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

“Brother Jiang, let’s go get the admission notice together!”

The day after returning from the bar, Jiang Qin had just crawled out of bed when he suddenly received a QQ message from Guo Zihang.

He couldn’t help but look up at the calendar on the wall and realized that today was indeed the day to collect the admission notice. However, considering Guo Zihang’s grades, he could barely qualify for a second-tier university. Wouldn’t his notice take longer to arrive?

“Did you receive your notice too?”

“No, I’m just accompanying you, aren’t I?”

“Why are you so eager if it’s not yours?”

“You said you would take me to the foot massage place once the notices were sent out!”

Jiang Qin couldn’t help but spit at his phone in disgust, thinking to himself that this is what modern college students aspire to? Obsessing over foot massages day in and day out!

He put down his phone, got up to wash and dress, and left his house. By the time he reached the post office, Guo Zihang was already waiting at the entrance.

“Godfather, your admission notice is on the top shelf, number three, fifth from the left!”

“How do you know?”

“I already looked for it. If the staff hadn’t stopped me, I would have taken it out for you.”

“You’re really desperate to go to the foot massage city!”

Jiang Qin was impressed by Guo Zihang’s determination. If he had been this enthusiastic about his studies, or even half as much, wouldn’t Tsinghua or Peking University have been at his feet? Guo Zihang just chuckled sheepishly, not explaining himself, and followed Jiang Qin into the post office like a loyal sidekick.

The admission notice was an important document. Although there was no strict rule that it had to be collected in person, even for proxy collection, the collector had to present the identity card of the intended recipient.

Jiang Qin found his admission notice on the top shelf of rack three and then rummaged through a few more times before taking another package.

“Jiang Bro, why do you have two admission notices?”

“The other is for Feng Nanshu.”

“That’s not allowed. If it’s not for you, you need Feng Nanshu’s ID to take it.”

Jiang Qin didn’t say anything, pulling out two identity cards from his pocket and handing them to the postal worker. One was his own, and the other was Feng Nanshu’s.

Seeing this, Guo Zihang’s eyes widened like saucers, unable to believe it. Holding someone else’s ID card, how could they still be just friends?

“Jiang Bro, which university did Goddess Feng apply to?”

“The same as me, Linchuan.”

“Did she tell you?”

“No, I guessed.”

Guo Zihang wanted to ask more, but his attention was suddenly caught by a familiar figure.

She wore a denim skirt, her hair tied in a neat ponytail. It was Chu Siqi, the class beauty of Senior Year, Class 2.

“Jiang Qin, long time no see.”

Jiang Qin nodded slightly: “Long time no see.”

Chu Siqi bit her lip: “Did you also apply to Linchuan University? I’m in the Law Department. And you?”

“Who told you I applied to Linchuan University?”

“It was Wang Huiru, but don’t get me wrong. I didn’t deliberately inquire. It just came up in conversation yesterday, and I overheard it.”

Jiang Qin smiled faintly and walked out of the post office.

He actually didn’t care at all about what Chu Siqi said. He had only engaged in that brief conversation out of politeness. Being at the same university didn’t matter to him; after all, the Finance Department was in the main campus and the Law Department in the east campus. Unless they deliberately arranged to meet, there was hardly any chance of running into each other.

Seeing Jiang Qin stride away, Chu Siqi suddenly felt anxious.

She had actually arrived early, sitting in a milk tea shop across the post office. As soon as she saw Jiang Qin arrive, she immediately rushed over. All this effort was just to talk to him for a moment.

Aren’t you angry with me?

So, what if I take the initiative to talk to you?

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qin decisively turned and walked away.

So what if you have 300,000 yuan? You’re the one who likes me, not the other way around. I’ve given you a way out, yet you refuse to take it!

“Jiang Qin, do you really intend to become a stranger to me?”

“Yes, I’ve already told you the answer before.”

After hearing this, Chu Siqi clenched her teeth in anger: “Fine, then tell me, why did you choose the same university as me!”

Jiang Qin was slightly startled, suddenly remembering something he had forgotten.

Indeed, on the eve of the college entrance exam, before he had traveled back in time, his younger self had asked Chu Siqi which university she wanted to attend. She had answered Linchuan University because her father graduated from there.

After living his life again, he had forgotten many details. He only remembered Linchuan as a familiar city, completely forgetting that it was for Chu Siqi that he had chosen Linchuan University.

Damn, isn’t this just a bizarre coincidence? Crying in the middle of the night over this?

“My choice to attend Linchuan University has nothing to do with you.”

“Hmph, with your grades, you could have gone to the capital, right? You chose Linchuan University because you knew I would go there!”

Jiang Qin sighed and turned back to Chu Siqi: “The capital is too far. I didn’t want to be too far from home. Linchuan was a good choice.”

Chu Siqi’s eyes brimmed with tears, her lips bitten red: “Then let’s never contact each other again. Delete me from your QQ, right here, right now!”

“…”

“What’s wrong? Why are you silent? Don’t have the guts?” Chu Siqi said angrily, her chest heaving with emotion.

Jiang Qin took out his phone, looking somewhat guilty at Guo Zihang: “Old Guo, how do you delete a friend on the 2008 version of QQ?”

Guo Zihang was shocked, staring at him as if he were an idiot: “Godfather, you don’t know how?”

“I really don’t. Help me with it.”

“Leave it to me!”

So, Guo Zihang operated Jiang Qin’s phone and directly deleted Chu Siqi in front of her.

Seeing this, Chu Siqi burst into tears, cursing Guo Zihang as a bastard while sobbing and running away, even forgetting to pick up her admission notice.

Guo Zihang, who got scolded, was dumbfounded, thinking, how is this my fault? I just provided technical support!

Then he suddenly looked up at Jiang Qin, thinking, Godfather, you really have a ruthless heart. Did you intentionally shift the hatred onto me, playing the good guy yourself? Actually, Jiang Qin was innocent; he genuinely didn’t know how to use this old version of QQ!

“Old Jiang, you owe me a trip to the foot massage city after today!”

“Wash, I’ll wash your bare skin off!”

Jiang Qin got on his bike, taking Guo Zihang to Xinghai Road, then climbed the grand steps in front of Shuiyunjian.

However, before entering, Jiang Qin stopped, first explaining the rules and various industry jargons to Guo Zihang, so he wouldn’t embarrass himself inside.

Guo Zihang blushed and kept looking away, finally refusing to go in, raising his collar like a thief covering his face.

“Didn’t you want to go so badly?”

“Bro, I thought it was just a place for foot washing!”

“So what now?”

“Let’s not go, let’s go back!”

“Waste of space, you won’t amount to much.”

Guo Zihang looked down at his feet, full of grievance.

He really thought it was just a place for foot washing, the only difference being the service of young ladies. Before leaving, he had even scrubbed his feet three times with soap, fearing the girls would find his feet smelly. Who knew that the foot washing city was not actually about washing feet at all!
