Born again who will fall in love?

Chapter 5: Why Aren't You Chasing Me Anymore?

"We're doing business!"

Guo Zihang was the kind of person who could smile warmly at anyone. If he looked a bit better, he could definitely be considered a handsome guy, but unfortunately, his looks didn't quite make the cut, so he could only be reluctantly classified as a passionate young man.

So when Wang Huiru asked what they were doing, Guo Zihang directly revealed their business of selling boxed lunches today, speaking with pride as if it were something to be proud of.

In fact, Guo Zihang wasn't wrong. This matter did sound quite impressive when spoken out loud.

You see, high school students in this era were still quite shy. They could get nervous for half a day if a stranger asked them for directions, let alone going out to make money.

Of course, there were some high school students who wanted to experience life and had thoughts of making money.

But at most, they would just do part-time jobs or distribute flyers.

However, Jiang Qin managed to use the tricks of a white wolf without gloves, earning a few hundred bucks, and engaging in arbitrage, buying and selling to make a profit. Who wouldn't be amazed by this?

Wang Huiru's father was a primary school teacher, earning only three thousand yuan a month, and after deducting five insurances and one housing fund, it didn't even amount to a hundred yuan a day.

Although the amount of money earned couldn't be measured by the average, the fact that Jiang Qin could make two hundred and seventy yuan in a day was already a huge shock to their worldview.

Especially when they heard Guo Zihang vividly describe how Jiang Qin casually tossed a cigarette to the network manager and made two hundred yuan with just an address, Jiang Qin's image in Wang Huiru's heart grew significantly.

"Jiang Qin, why did you suddenly start learning to do business?"

"Saving money to get married," Jiang Qin casually fabricated.

Wang Huiru burst into laughter at his words, "Start saving from now? How expensive of a wife do you plan to marry?"

Jiang Qin lifted the corner of his mouth slightly, "That depends on how many I plan to marry. The more I marry, the more money I'll need."

"You want to marry several? You're quite ambitious!"

Subsequently, Wang Huiru chatted with Guo Zihang about filling out their college applications, her tone filled with longing for college life.

Meanwhile, Jiang Qin remained in the role of an observer, wearing a smile on his face and not speaking further.

He had already experienced university life once, so he didn't have much longing for it and didn't feel the urge to interject. Even though Guo Zihang and Wang Huiru's fantasies about college life were often far from reality, Jiang Qin didn't correct them like an all-knowing elder.

Life is something that needs to be experienced personally to be meaningful, and no one has the right to arrogantly shatter someone else's dreams, even if you really know a lot. You have to consider whether they want to know.

During this process, Chu Siqi's gaze turned slightly cold, and she looked at Jiang Qin with a depressed expression.

Since the moment she rejected Jiang Qin's confession, she felt like he had become a different person.

He didn't message her on QQ anymore, didn't send morning or night greetings, didn't secretly leave messages in her space, changed his profile picture, and updated his signature.

It was as if they had become strangers.

What was even more infuriating was that yesterday, while she was in the mood to check his space, she was suddenly forcibly logged out, and when she logged back in, she found that his space was locked.

This made her feel increasingly irritated, and the more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. So, she acted as if nothing had happened and sent him a message, asking why he had locked his space, whether it was locked for everyone or just for her.

But up until now, Jiang Qin hadn't replied to her, not even a single symbol.

But why?

It's you who likes me, not the other way around. Why did you suddenly stop messaging me? Why did you stop letting me into your space?

I never explicitly said I disliked you, nor did I tell you to stop pursuing me. Why did you decide to give up on your own?

At this thought, Chu Siqi couldn't help but remember that afternoon when she was taking the bus home. She had encountered Jiang Qin on the roadside and thought he had come to apologize.

She had already planned that if Jiang Qin had a good attitude, admitted that she was just being stubborn, she might give him a little chance.

But she didn't expect that he just nodded slightly and then rode away.

Teenage girls in their adolescence have sensitive hearts and a strong sense of pride. Being treated like this by someone who had once pursued them would make anyone feel deeply wronged.

So, when Chu Siqi returned home, she threw a fit and swore she would never speak to Jiang Qin again!

Even if Jiang Qin apologized again and begged, she wouldn't have a single bit of mercy.

But until just now, when she once again encountered Jiang Qin on the street, Chu Siqi couldn't help but start imagining things again.

She secretly thought that as long as Jiang Qin could greet her proactively, admit his mistake in a humble manner, she might respond with a cold attitude.

However, what she didn't expect was that from beginning to end, Jiang Qin just stood there calmly. Besides exchanging a few words with Wang Huiru, he didn't even glance at her.

The more Chu Siqi thought about it, the angrier she became. Her full chest heaved up and down, and she unconsciously began to exert force on Wang Huiru's arm.

Feeling the pain, Wang Huiru snapped out of it and looked at her best friend, then at Jiang Qin. Suddenly, she remembered the emotional entanglements between the two on the day of the college entrance exam.

No wonder these two haven't been talking.

Jiang Qin must be too self-conscious to speak to the goddess who rejected him, right?

Actually, Wang Huiru had a favorable impression of Jiang Qin.

Especially after hearing Guo Zihang's praise of Jiang Qin, she felt that Jiang Qin had a maturity that other boys didn't possess.

So she planned to help Jiang Qin. Who knows, maybe she could facilitate a good relationship between them?

"Jiang Qin!"

"Yes?"

Wang Huiru's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning. "When you just mentioned making money to get married, were you implying something about our Siqi?"

Jiang Qin's face turned pale, and his right eyelid began to twitch. "Big sister, spare me, please."

"Isn't it?"

"A small temple, not destined for blessings."

Upon hearing these words, Chu Siqi couldn't hold back anymore. She clenched her silver teeth together, and a layer of mist welled up in her eyes. "Jiang Qin, what do you mean by that?"

Jiang Qin waved his hand dismissively. "It's nothing. I'll take my leave. You guys continue to have fun."

"You're not allowed to leave. I didn't say you could leave!"

Jiang Qin pretended not to hear and waved his hand, then rode his bicycle to the roadside, merging into the crowd on the street without looking back.

In this second chance at life, there was no need to explain too much to people who wouldn't be relevant in the future, so he couldn't be bothered to say more.

Stay true to the original intention, remember the mission. Did you think I was just kidding?

Chu Siqi stood in place, watching his retreating figure, feeling extremely wronged as tears uncontrollably filled her eyes.

She wasn't like those cliché novel heroines who suddenly realized they liked someone and regretted it. It was just that she felt like Jiang Qin was looking down on her, as if she were an annoying presence that he wanted to avoid.

Seeing her speechless and choked up, her friend Wang Huiru panicked instantly.

Wasn't it her friend who rejected Jiang Qin's confession? Why was it now that Jiang Qin had left, her friend was crying? What kind of drama was this?
