Chapter 8: Why Is It You?
Zhou Yuwen knew he absolutely couldn't let Su Qing find out he was also reborn!
But the problem was that he had started a business selling phone cards, which was sure to make Su Qing suspicious. Sigh, he'd just have to take it one step at a time. Zhou Yuwen realized he could hide his rebirth from others, but definitely not from Su Qing; it was only a matter of time before she found out.
Thinking about Su Qing, Zhou Yuwen unknowingly found himself back at the dormitory. It was already dark, and at seven in the evening, he had to attend the first class meeting in the teaching building.
"Zhou Yuwen!"
Just as Zhou Yuwen reached the entrance of the dormitory building, a female voice called out to him.
Zhou Yuwen looked up.
He realized that some things couldn't be avoided.
Su Qing, having been reborn back to her university days, initially felt it was unbelievable, but soon thought that if she really was back in college, it meant she and Zhou Yuwen could start over! This time, she wouldn't be unreasonable like before! She would be obedient and supportive! Encourage him to write novels! Zhou Yuwen wasn’t as useless as he seemed. He had a talent for writing novels! As long as he worked hard, he could become a famous novelist in the future.
"It was my wife's encouragement and companionship that made me who I am today!"
Just thinking about that scene made Su Qing excited.
This time! She wouldn't break up with Zhou Yuwen again!
Zhou Yuwen, you can’t escape my grasp!
Accepting the fact of her rebirth, Su Qing decided she didn’t need to do anything special. In truth, she didn’t know what to do. Before rebirth, besides design and drawing, Su Qing was indifferent to other matters. So after rebirth, she had some foresight about the future, but it was limited.
Regarding design, Su Qing had a decade's worth of advanced knowledge in her mind, but as a freshman, she had no opportunity to showcase it.
So, her plan was to simply enjoy her university life. In her previous life, she only focused on studying and working, neglecting Zhou Yuwen's feelings. In this life, she wanted to have a happy relationship with Zhou Yuwen throughout university. After graduation, they would get married, and Zhou Yuwen would become a successful novelist, while she would be a distinguished designer. They would be the envy of countless people!
According to her past life trajectory, Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing first met at the cafeteria card game. So when her roommate Zheng Yanyan suggested, "Hey! I’ve made some friends. Let's go to the cafeteria to play cards?"
"Sure!" Su Qing agreed without thinking.
Her quick agreement left Zheng Yanyan stunned. Wasn’t she supposed to be aloof and reserved?
Su Qing realized she had responded too eagerly and awkwardly smiled, "It’s boring in the dorm, I just want to go out for a bit."
"Oh!"
Since it was her first meeting with her future husband, Su Qing dressed carefully. As a designer, she was skilled in makeup, but at nineteen, she only had a basic lipstick. Looking at her young face in the mirror, Su Qing felt that her natural beauty didn’t need makeup to look good! This would definitely captivate Zhou Yuwen!
Feeling pleased, Su Qing chose two simple outfits. A loose black T-shirt paired with a white pleated skirt, showing off her jade-like legs, and a pair of white sneakers. Admiring her youthful and beautiful long legs in the mirror, Su Qing felt increasingly happy about being young again.
But her thoughts were interrupted when Zheng Yanyan suddenly appeared in the mirror.
"Ready? Shall we go?"
In terms of actual height, Zheng Yanyan wasn’t much taller than Su Qing, but her legs looked longer. Even in college, Zheng Yanyan knew how to dress up better than Su Qing. Now, wearing a white sunscreen jacket over a black crop top and blue denim shorts, her slim waist exposed, snow-white long legs, and little feet in white socks, her simple attire showcased her tall and slender figure.
In her previous life, Su Qing was jealous of Zheng Yanyan’s figure. Every time they went out, Su Qing would complain about how many times Zhou Yuwen peeked at Zheng Yanyan’s legs.
Zhou Yuwen always denied it, saying she was overthinking.
But Su Qing would say, "Don’t lie to me."
"Tell the truth, who’s prettier, me or Zheng Yanyan? Tell the truth, I won’t get mad."
"..."
Su Qing, a possessive woman, was jealous of everyone, from Zheng Yanyan to Shen Yu.
Though envious of Zheng Yanyan’s long legs, Su Qing dismissed it, thinking Zhou Yuwen only liked her. She eagerly went to meet her future husband!
Seeing Su Qing’s joyful expression, Zheng Yanyan asked, "Hey, why do you look like you know who you’re meeting? Do you know Chang Hao?"
"Who’s Chang Hao? I don’t know him," Su Qing replied with a smile.
"Then you know the classmate Chang Hao is bringing? Oh right, I heard he’s from your hometown," Zheng Yanyan remembered.
At this, Su Qing’s expression changed slightly.
"Hmph! You do know him, right? Your boyfriend?" Zheng Yanyan keenly noticed Su Qing’s uncontrollable smile.
Su Qing blushed, "Oh, stop it, he’s not my boyfriend!"
"Don’t pretend! Your face says it all! Wow, Su Qing, you act like a good girl, but you already have a boyfriend!"
"Not yet, not yet!"
Though he was her future husband, he wasn’t her boyfriend yet.
However, Zheng Yanyan was convinced and became curious about the boy who attracted Su Qing.
In the cafeteria, they ordered drinks while waiting.
Chang Hao and Li Qiang arrived at the cafeteria entrance and quickly spotted Zheng Yanyan and Su Qing chatting by the window. Seeing Zheng Yanyan’s long legs, Chang Hao's eyes lit up.
"Damn! Brother Hao, is it really them!?" Li Qiang was also excited.
"Of course! Am I good or what?" Chang Hao boasted.
He led Li Qiang over to greet them.
"Uh, Zheng Yanyan, right?"
Chang Hao’s voice came from behind. Su Qing, facing away from them, got excited and stood up abruptly.
"Zhou Yu..."
The words didn’t come out. Turning around, she saw Li Qiang grinning at her.
"Why is it you?" Su Qing's face turned icy, her words harsh.
Li Qiang’s happy expression froze, feeling dejected. Why couldn’t it be him?
