Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?
Chapter 79: Does Your Family Buy a Store When Dating?

TL: Etude

Three minutes later, Zhang Xinyu, who had gone inside the store to place an order, returned to the table and began a harmonious Q&A session with Fan Shuling.

“Zhang Xinyu, how many points did you score in the college entrance exam?”

“I lost some points in math, only scoring 655,” Zhang Xinyu said with a slight smile.

Fan Shuling couldn’t help but sound a bit sarcastic: “Losing points and still scoring 655, that’s even two points higher than Jiang Qin.”

“Two points aren’t much,” Gao Wenhui said, pursing her lips.

“That’s not necessarily true, a miss is as good as a mile,” Fan Shuling said, clearly playing favorites, “By the way, Zhang Xinyu, I remember you scored full marks in your essay during the college entrance exam?”

Zhang Xinyu nodded: “I usually like making friends, and the essay topic just happened to be something I’m good at.”

“Our Nanshu is the worst at making friends. You should interact more with her.”

“That’s definitely not a problem.”

Fan Shuling continued to stir the pot: “Are you planning to find a partner in college?”

Zhang Xinyu smiled slightly: “If I find someone suitable, of course. Dating is also a part of college life. I really look forward to the transition from school uniforms to wedding attire.”

“Did you hear that? This is the right attitude towards dating!”

Gao Wenhui couldn’t help but frown: “What do you mean by the right attitude towards dating?”

“Enjoying the beauty of it, being unwavering, with marriage as the goal,” Fan Shuling laid out her ideal standards for a marriage.

“That’s too vague. Can you be more specific?” Sᴇaʀᴄh the NʘvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“You should often go out together, watch movies, shop, drink bubble tea. Oh right, Nanshu, has Jiang Qin ever bought you bubble tea?”

Feng Nanshu glanced at Fan Shuling with a wary look and pursed her lips, not saying a word.

“Not even buying bubble tea, what kind of sweet romance is that!”

Fan Shuling huffed, her opinion of Jiang Qin worsening. Of course, she deliberately mentioned bubble tea to raise Zhang Xinyu’s appeal, as he was treating them to bubble tea.

“I’ve never heard that buying a few cups of bubble tea counts as dating. Shuling, your view of love is too superficial,” Gao Wenhui couldn’t help but retort.

“I’m not saying bubble tea represents love, but if he doesn’t even buy bubble tea, what’s the point of such a relationship, right?”

While they were talking, Fang Xiaoxuan had already brought over four cups of bubble tea. When she saw Feng Nanshu, she was momentarily startled and then crisply called her “boss.” She knew Feng Nanshu was a college student and thought she must have brought her classmates to support her family’s business.

Fan Shuling’s voice abruptly stopped, a hint of confusion flickering in her eyes, her mind not quite catching up.

Boss?

What an old-fashioned title.

“Why does she call you boss?” Gao Wenhui asked in surprise.

Feng Nanshu spoke coldly: “Jiang Qin bought it for me.”

“???”

Zhang Xinyu felt awkward but still maintained a smiling face: “Feng classmate, I bought the bubble tea. Didn’t you see me when I went to order?”

“The bubble tea store was bought by Jiang Qin for me.” Feng Nanshu sat upright, aloof, and cold.

“…”

“Which bubble tea store?”

“This one.”

Fan Shuling and Gao Wenhui exchanged glances, then looked at Zhang Xinyu. Their three pairs of eyes widened simultaneously. The realization of the meaning behind that sentence took them five seconds, and their minds became even more muddled, feeling as if Feng Nanshu’s statement was like sleep talking.

Bubble tea, bubble tea store – just one additional word, but the meaning was worlds apart.

“This bubble tea store was bought by Jiang Qin for you? You’re the owner of this store now?” Gao Wenhui’s eyes lit up with excitement.

Feng Nanshu nodded expressionlessly: “It’s the best gift from a best friend.”

“Has your romance escalated to this level? Instead of giving bubble tea, he gave you a bubble tea store? Damn!”

“Nanshu, are you talking about this entire store?” Fan Shuling still found it hard to believe.

Gao Wenhui frowned involuntarily: “Didn’t you hear the employee just now calling her boss? It’s obvious, isn’t it? Speaking of which, if Nanshu is the boss, then what does that make Jiang Qin?”

Feng Nanshu continued emotionlessly: “Then he can only be the ‘lady boss.’”

“…”

Zhang Xinyu shifted uncomfortably, feeling out of place.

Strange, why do I suddenly feel like leaving?

He had always hoped for an opportunity to talk with Feng Nanshu and let her appreciate his merits. Now that he finally got the chance to sit with her, why did he suddenly feel like leaving?

Oh, it must be because it’s too hot. The sun has heated the seat. Black absorbs heat, especially in this kind of summer. I didn’t notice it at first, but now, sitting down, my buttocks feel uncomfortably warm.

Zhang Xinyu moistened his dry lips and, with his mind in a muddle, sipped his bubble tea, falling silent.

Of course, Fan Shuling also fell silent.

She looked at the Xixian store across from her, her expression growing increasingly complex.

She knew Feng Nanshu’s family was wealthy, but Jiang Qin…

She felt as though she had been splashed in the face, struggling to breathe.

You think love is about buying a cup of bubble tea, sweet and simple, but their love is about buying a whole bubble tea store. You boast about boys buying girls bubble tea, but in the end, the store itself belongs to them. That’s a lethal blow.

Fan Shuling suddenly realized that some things were really not within her purview to interfere.

If you’re not on that level, but you try to judge with your narrow view, the result you come to, apart from convincing yourself, might seem like a joke to others.

However, fortunately, the silence didn’t last long. Zhang Xinyu received a phone call, breaking the awkwardness.

“Uh… something suddenly came up in my dorm, and I need to go back. I’m the dorm head, and they can’t handle some things without me.”

“Hey, you haven’t finished your bubble tea!”

Zhang Xinyu, as if not hearing, picked up his phone and headed out, only to run into Jiang Qin, who had just finished class. He stiffened for a moment, then quickened his pace.

Jiang Qin touched his chin, thinking to himself that Zhang’s expression looked familiar.

Oh right, Cao Guangyu had the same expression when he was splashed in the face.

Gao Wenhui also saw Jiang Qin and waved her hand vigorously: “Jiang Qin, your Feng Nanshu is here!”

“Oh, came for bubble tea? Enjoy it, I won’t come over to show off. I’ve been showing off too much recently, it’s getting tiring. I’ve got something else to do over there, I’ll be going now.”

Jiang Qin waved in response but, preoccupied with monitoring the online launch of the school beauty contest, didn’t come over and headed to the Entrepreneurship Center on College Second Road.

Gao Wenhui frowned: “He’s always in such a rush, what is he doing all the time?”

“Earning money.” Feng Nanshu’s eyelashes quivered slightly.

“Earning money to support the family? But Nanshu, you’re a little rich girl. Does your family really need him to support it?”

Gao Wenhui, with her romantic notions, added “support the family” to earning money, then got carried away in her imagination, thinking that a real good man never shows weakness in front of a woman. Fan Shuling, you are still too young.

“Wenhui.”

“What is it?”

“You speak so nicely.”

Feng Nanshu sipped her bubble tea, squinting and smiling like a silly cat basking in the sun, her eyelashes tinted a soft golden hue by the brilliant sunlight.
