Chapter 40 - Thirty-Five: He Has a Girlfriend Now

The post had been up for less than an hour and didn’t have a huge impact, but Zhou Yuwen’s acquaintances would definitely share it amongst each other. Take for example the classmates who just got to know him, who were already curious about how someone the same age could already be the college town’s general agent. As soon as this post came out, everyone suddenly understood. Chang Hao only saw the post because another classmate had sent it to him. After reading it, Chang Hao was shocked and immediately forwarded it to Zheng Yanyan. It was around nine o’clock in the evening, and Zheng Yanyan and her roommates had just gotten back to the dorm after their showers. In their dorm room, the topic of conversation often revolved around Zhou Yuwen, not because Su Qing was infatuated with him, but because there were indeed many things about him to discuss. For instance, how could a freshman like him become the general agent for campus cards? How much money was he making from this campus card business? And why had he lied to Shen Yu, claiming to be an upperclassman? Shen Yu was smart. She felt that was how Zhou Yuwen first got close to his classmates, pretending to be a senior, and then built up a customer base to negotiate with the business hall afterward. Zheng Yanyan said, "If that’s really the case, then he’s incredibly capable, isn’t he? It doesn’t seem like the behavior of a first-year student. Right, Su Qing?" Su Qing kept a straight face, not uttering a word. She had a hunch that Zhou Yuwen, like herself, had been reborn. But she had no proof. She needed to find an opportunity to confront Zhou Yuwen. Moreover, there was Li Shiqi, someone who Su Qing had never even heard of in her previous life. Why suddenly bring up a childhood sweetheart? The world before her felt both unfamiliar and familiar to Su Qing. Zheng Yanyan called out to Su Qing several times without getting a response, which made Zheng Yanyan pout slightly in displeasure. Shen Yu, however, chuckled. Truth be told, it was common for Su Qing to be lost in thought in the dorm, and the others were used to it. Back in the dorm, several girls were applying skincare products and drying their hair. Zheng Yanyan, wearing a black tank top and light blue denim shorts, was the tallest in their dorm and naturally had the longest legs. She stood in front of the mirror, tying her hair up. At that moment, her phone kept ringing non-stop. Shen Yu, dressed in a light-colored pajama set, said to Zheng Yanyan, "Go check your messages. Chang Hao is looking for you again." Zheng Yanyan pouted, "How do you know it’s him? It could be someone else, right?" Shen Yu let out a small giggle upon hearing this, "Come on, besides him, who else would send you messages so frequently?" Zheng Yanyan glanced at Su Qing, who was still in a daze, and with a crafty smile teased, "Maybe it’s Zhou Yuwen?" "?" As soon as these words fell, Su Qing indeed turned her head around. Seeing Su Qing’s anxious expression, Zheng Yanyan laughed out loud. It was only then that Su Qing realized she’d been pranked and raised her eyebrows, "Zheng Yanyan! Are you sick?" With that, she threw a pillow at her. "It was just a joke. I really don’t get it—what’s so great about Zhou Yuwen that you like him so much?" Zheng Yanyan caught the pillow Su Qing threw and also turned on her phone’s screen. She saw the message from Chang Hao. "Yanyan! Yanyan! Are you there!?" "Huge news! Huge news!" "Are you Zhou Yuwen?" "Huh?" "You’re sure you’re Zhou Yuwen?" "No. Look, Su, I think there’s something wrong with your head. If I’m not Zhou Yuwen, then who am I?" "Zhou Yuwen, are you free this weekend? Can we meet up?" Su Qing thought it over and decided to confront Zhou Yuwen. He was definitely the reincarnated person. "I might not have time." "No time?" "Yeah, I’m going to the movies with my girlfriend." When the words "my girlfriend" echoed in Su Qing’s ears, she felt a pain in her arm. As she was about to speak, her nose suddenly felt sour, "You said, girlfriend?" Even through the phone, Zhou Yuwen could feel the changes in Su Qing’s emotions. It was mid-September, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was just a week away. At this time, the moon was unusually round. Looking up at the moon in the sky, Zhou Yuwen understood Su Qing. He knew her obsessiveness, but the two had already graduated from wearing school uniforms to wedding dresses. After all the trouble of being reborn, there was no need to walk the same path as in the previous life. And when they married, didn’t Su Qing also say it? She said he’d held her back, that she stayed in the country for him, otherwise she’d have gone abroad to study long ago and become a well-known designer both at home and abroad. This time, he’d give her that chance. "Yeah, you’ve met her, the one from today. We’ve been together since high school." "Hey, are you listening?" "Hello?" "Beep...beep...beep..." Zhou Yuwen had thought Su Qing would argue with him, would make a scene like in their previous life, but she did nothing and just silently hung up the phone. Unfortunately, Zhou Yuwen wasn’t there by her side. He didn’t see how, when he uttered the words "my girlfriend," Su Qing felt as if her soul had left her body, as though she had been hollowed out in an instant. He had a girlfriend in high school? Su Qing hung up the phone and returned to her dorm like a walking corpse. At that moment, Zheng Yanyan and Shen Yu were still joking around about that post. Initially, the post shocked them. But after reading and analyzing it, they found it somewhat exaggerated. At that moment, Su Qing walked in, looking as lifeless as dead wood. Her state startled both Zheng Yanyan and Shen Yu. Shen Yu asked, "Su Qing, what’s wrong?" Su Qing turned her head and looked at Shen Yu. Shen Yu was wearing a sapphire blue silk pajama set, her lustrous black hair exuding the grace and gentility of a young lady. Looking at the gentle Shen Yu before her, Su Qing’s eyes reddened: "He, he has a girlfriend now!" After she spoke, Su Qing couldn’t hold back any longer and started crying.
