Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

TL: Etude Translations

Jiang Qin, out of kindness and friendship, personally applied nail polish for his good friend, not minding the hard work and fatigue, filled with sincerity and friendliness, and didn’t even expect anything in return. Yet, he was infuriated when his gesture was misconstrued as perverse.

This was because negative emotions do indeed affect the sympathetic nervous system, leading to slow gastric muscle contraction, resulting in insufficient gastric motility and thus a reduced appetite.

Fortunately, Jiang Qin’s soul was mature, and his self-regulation skills were strong. He didn’t stoop to the level of the little rich lady.

Eat and drink as usual, not harboring grudges to keep the mood pleasant, right?

If one couldn’t eat every time they were wronged, they would certainly suffer from malnutrition.

Half an hour later, Feng Nanshu, with puffed cheeks and her fair, snow-white feet curled up together, looked up with a whiny expression in her eyes.

“I want to call you ‘brother’ now,” the little rich lady said with a cold face.

Jiang Qin stood up, rubbing his knees, “No, you can’t call me ‘brother’ now. Let me calm down first.”

The little rich lady thought Jiang Qin was a bit silly, like a clumsy bear, and somewhat like herself when eating spicy peppers – clearly unable to handle it, yet unable to resist.

She even thought him foolish, not realizing he was just as naively adorable.

Feng Nanshu leaned back on the sofa, curling her long legs, rubbing her feet, her gaze constantly fixed on Jiang Qin, her eyes watery, her expression resembling a comfortably lying tabby cat.

“Are you hungry?”

“Hungry, my stomach’s empty, I want to eat with you.”

Jiang Qin gently unlocked the door, peeked outside to ensure no one was around, then opened it fully, taking the little rich lady, who kept her eyes glued on him, to the university’s second cafeteria.

Due to the influx of new students, the cafeteria was bustling, with long lines at every window, people curiously watching the cafeteria ladies’ skillful movements and their ability to make meat disappear from the spoon in the blink of an eye.

“Damn, I didn’t blink, where did that piece of meat go?”

The cafeteria lady, somewhat cultured, said: “There’s no other secret, only practiced hands.”

Jiang Qin, holding Feng Nanshu’s hand, looked inside from the doorway, feeling overwhelmed, “It’s too crowded inside, hold onto my clothes tightly so you don’t get lost and start crying.”

Feng Nanshu looked at him confidently and coldly, “Jiang Qin, I never cry.”

“Then will you hold on or not? If you’re brave, don’t hold on. Let me see how courageous you are.” Jiang Qin pulled out a piece of his clothing and waved it tantalizingly.

The little rich lady couldn’t resist, finally grabbing hold, “Jiang Qin, I have no spine at all.”

“Your self-awareness is quite clear, but your expression is too cute, it ruins our friendship. Don’t do this again next time.”

“Then please repeat the first half of that a few more times.” Feng Nanshu tugged at his clothes, following him with quick steps.

There wasn’t much change in the cafeteria for the new semester, still the same old things. Jiang Qin chose the least crowded window, handed over a Zhonghua cigarette, chatted with the boss, and asked him to get a beef brisket noodle and a pig’s feet rice from the back kitchen.

University cafeterias were mostly operated by contractors, and the chefs didn’t care much about selling their food. After smoking, the chef prepared two portions.

When Jiang Qin held the tray in his hand, he turned around and found that his little rich lady had disappeared, leaving only a crumpled part of his clothing.

“This girl, did she really get lost?”

Jiang Qin’s heart tightened. Carrying the tray, he squeezed through the crowd, searching everywhere.

But there were too many people in the cafeteria. It was difficult to find someone among the buzzing crowd.

Just as he was about to call for help, he saw Feng Nanshu at the corner.

The little rich lady’s eyes were clearly panicked, her pale fists clenched, her arms trembling slightly, her expression cold as ice.

Only when she saw Jiang Qin waving not far away did her protective icy expression instantly change to a pitiable look of grievance. She ran over in her little leather shoes.

“Jiang Qin, don’t run off again. I couldn’t find you and was about to cry.”

Jiang Qin, holding the tray, looked at her, “Didn’t I tell you to hold onto my clothes? Why did you let go?”

“There were too many people, I couldn’t hold on. Next time, I’ll tie you to me,” Feng Nanshu said with a pitiful yet serious expression.

“That’s quite an idea. So, am I your property now?”

Jiang Qin found a place to set the tray down. Seeing the tears in Feng Nanshu’s eyes, he felt extremely soft-hearted, kept feeding her until she was happily satisfied, hardly eating anything himself.

During the process of feeding the little rich lady, Jiang Qin’s gaze continuously swept across the cafeteria, noticing that about eighty percent of the people getting food were wearing camouflage uniforms for military training.

These people had clear yet naive eyes, unmistakably first-year students who had just attended class meetings and military training mobilization meetings, coming to experience the cafeteria at mealtime.

While observing, Jiang Qin spotted Ren Ziqiang amidst a group of young girls in military training uniforms, his every move oozing charm.

Am I seeing things?

Rubbing his temples, Jiang Qin took a closer look and indeed it was Ren Ziqiang, wearing a printed short-sleeved Adidas shirt that likely belonged to Cao Guangyu.

This young man was probably on the verge of a romantic streak, otherwise, how could he be mingling with so many young ladies?

“Jiang Qin, I want more to eat.” The little rich lady, having waited a while without receiving another bite, couldn’t help but tug at his sleeve.

Jiang Qin fed her a piece of beef brisket, “Little rich lady, do you know? My business is growing, and I’m going to be busier in the coming days.”

“I’ll behave myself,” she replied coldly and clearly.

“So understanding?”

After dinner, Jiang Qin returned to room 208 and called the person in charge of the Shanghai branch, instructing them to leave two employees to monitor the situation, while the rest moved to Beijing for the next phase of ground promotion.

As he had said before, his primary goal this time was not the number of registrations, but coverage area, without wasting any time.

The university town in Shanghai, having gone through a round of marketing, had likely seen most potential registrants sign up. Those who hadn’t registered probably wouldn’t be influenced by another wave of marketing, as some people are naturally insensitive to trends.

Thus, the marketing team members of the Shanghai branch began packing up, ready to move on and spread their spores to another city, letting them continue to float with the wind.

Of course, the promotion in Shanghai wouldn’t just end like that. After the branch staff retreated, the content team led by Dong Wenhao took over, launching an event called “The Most Beautiful Military Training Goddess.”

This event was similar to the campus beauty contest Jiang Qin had previously organized, with rules allowing users to vote and rank participants, exchanging places for prizes.

However, unlike the campus beauty contest, not only the military training goddesses but also the uploaders could win prizes, with the top prize being a highly expensive laptop. The main theme was creating an atmosphere of a nationwide search for goddesses.

You may not be beautiful, but you can discover beauty.

You may be a boy, but perhaps you have a great aesthetic sense.

You might not be a freshman, but surely you’d like to stroll around the sports field and check out the beauties.

Jiang Qin had two objectives in planning this event: first, to increase new users’ participation in the forum, encouraging them to post and enhancing the stickiness between users and the site.

Just like when you post a meaningful status on social media and check back every half minute to admire it again and see if anyone has complimented you.

When posting and replying become a habit, and users find a sense of belonging on the forum, stickiness naturally increases.

Secondly, as the competition heats up, encouraging people to invite others to vote would naturally occur, creating passive second-round publicity for Zhihu.

Of course, there wouldn’t be many participants at the start of the event, so Jiang Qin allocated funds to the remaining two employees, asking them to hire a few campus photographers to act as initial instigators, stirring up the topic’s heat.

Lu Feiyu also had a role to play, performing both the good and the bad cop, to spark the competitive spirit among students.

After setting up the subsequent tasks, Jiang Qin casually returned to the dormitory. Before he even entered, he heard Ren Ziqiang passionately discussing something.

“I’m telling the truth. Our college has a super beautiful junior. Her eyes are so bright, like they can speak, and her voice is so soft, it warms the heart.”

Entering the room, Jiang Qin found Cao Guangyu pointing at himself, “Is she prettier than the one at his place?”

Ren Ziqiang hesitated before shaking his head, “That’s impossible. The one at Jiang’s place is beyond ordinary beauty standards.”

“What are you guys talking about?” Jiang Qin was puzzled.

Cao Guangyu immediately spoke up, “Old Ren attended the military training mobilization meeting for the 09 Finance Class 2 today. He saw a super pretty junior but said she’s not as pretty as the one at your place.”

Jiang Qin frowned at him, “Feng Nanshu and I are just friends.”

“As soon as we mention yours, you know it’s Feng Nanshu. Just friends, my foot.”

Ignoring him, Jiang Qin turned to Ren Ziqiang, “You’ve got some skills, mingling with the freshmen on the first day of school?”

Ren Ziqiang smiled shyly, “It’s not my skill. Old Lu is leading a freshman class this time and appointed Jiang Tian as the person in charge. I volunteered to help Jiang Tian as an assistant, so I got the opportunity.”
