Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!-Chapter 36 - 35: Senior Sister and Junior Brother

Chapter 36: Chapter 35: Senior Sister and Junior Brother

Shen Qingning watched Cheng Zhu from a distance until Lin Lu returned from the restroom and sat next to him, only then did she divert her gaze.

But she still observed Cheng Zhu and Lin Lu’s interactions from the shadows.

Lin Lu patted her own cheeks with her cold hands and said to Cheng Zhu, “I just looked in the mirror, and my face is so red!”

“You don’t drink pure alcohol often, do you?” Cheng Zhu looked at Lin Lu, her cheeks indeed flushed.

But the reddest part of her was actually her ears. The translucent, fair earlobes now felt hot to the touch.

Lin Lu replied, “I actually have a very low alcohol tolerance. Thankfully our team didn’t lose much today, otherwise I would have sneaked back home after two rounds to avoid throwing up in the private room and embarrassing myself.”

...

After she finished, she checked the time on her phone and said, “Oh! It’s almost midnight! I’ll probably leave after we eat the birthday cake.”

Hearing this, Cheng Zhu nodded slightly and said, “Wanzhou and I agreed on the way here that we’d leave at midnight too.”

Sitting nearby and eating fruit, Jiang Wanzhou couldn’t help but sneer and said, “Yeah, we had agreed on that a long time ago.”

Little President Jiang felt that he had been worried for nothing before.

“I was afraid he might be heartbroken after breaking up with Li Xinyue and wouldn’t be able to move on,” thought Jiang Wanzhou.

“Now, it seems like he’s moved on too well!” Jiang Wanzhou thought annoyedly.

But honestly, he really admired people with Cheng Zhu’s personality.

Carefree, unrestrained, generous, and quite gutsy.

Damn, he had advanced quickly! Complete ultimate evolution!

A typical high school student, even upon encountering a goddess like Lin Lu, wouldn’t dare to do anything.

Let alone Cheng Zhu, who comes from an ordinary background, while Lin Lu obviously comes from better circumstances.

Then, everyone in the private room sang a birthday song for Shen Minglang and shared the birthday cake.

After midnight, Shen Qingning and Lin Lu prepared to leave.

Cheng Zhu and Jiang Wanzhou also stood up to say goodbye.

Seeing this, Shen Minglang rallied everyone to leave the private room together.

These people were planning to go drink at a third venue and were preparing to hit a nightclub.

With Shen Qingning not around, he could really let loose.

For Shen Minglang, external girlfriends couldn’t control him, but a single look from his sister scared him; it was a form of bloodline suppression.

As everyone was leaving the private room, Shen Minglang draped an arm around Cheng Zhu’s shoulder, warmly saying, “Cousin, coming to the club?”

“No, thanks,” Cheng Zhu declined.

“What’s the matter, you’re finally on summer break and you’re not busy every day,” said Shen Minglang.

“I actually have some things to keep me busy; I’ve opened a shop on Taobao and there’s quite a bit of miscellaneous stuff to do these days,” Cheng Zhu replied with a smile.

He purposely talked about this with Shen Minglang because he wanted to see if Ye Zi had mentioned to Shen Minglang that she had come to his place to work part-time as a model.

Indeed, Shen Minglang had no idea Cheng Zhu was running an e-commerce shop, exhaling alcohol fumes, he said, “Is that so? Let me know later, and I’ll rally everyone to order from you!”

“Alright,” Cheng Zhu smiled, thinking to himself, “You do seem like a major customer, buying a large number of items each year, right?”

Lin Lu and Shen Qingning, standing nearby, glanced over at Cheng Zhu.

Shen Qingning was cool and aloof, not one to initiate questions. To put it bluntly—she was somewhat aloof.

But this little deer in the forest was different; she tilted her head towards Cheng Zhu and asked directly, “Cheng Zhu, what do you sell?”

And believe it or not, Liu Hongjing and Wang Wei among others were eavesdropping earnestly.

These two owed their predicament to Cheng Zhu, having both thrown up once in the restroom.

Of course, the main reason was that they were intimidated, lacking even the courage to challenge others to drinking games at the table.

Moreover, Shen Minglang had previously mentioned that Wang Wei was in charge of handling his family’s e-commerce, which made him the most curious of all.

Cheng Zhu looked at Lin Lu, smiling, and said, “Women’s clothing.”

Strictly speaking, he wasn’t lying.

QQ women’s clothing is still women’s clothing!

Liu Hongjing, smelling of alcohol, said, “A big guy like you selling women’s clothing?”

After speaking, he slapped Wang Wei on the shoulder and said, “Little Cheng, Wang Wei handles the e-commerce for his family and they make sports pants, you should ask him for some advice.”

Wang Wei wouldn’t miss such an opportunity. Having been suppressed heavily at the drinking table just earlier, he immediately smiled and said, “Little Cheng, leave your WeChat contact later, if you don’t understand anything just ask your Brother Wang.”

People often talk more when they drink.

Wang Wei started to ramble, discussing how much money he had initially wasted on “Direct Car” until he figured out the trick to it.

Cheng Zhu wasn’t really listening.

—Are you teaching me how to do business?

Liu Hongjing, the plump one, even seemed to notice Cheng Zhu’s distracted demeanor and immediately, leveraging the fact that he was a few years older, took on an experienced tone to boost Wang Wei.

“Little Cheng, when we were your age, we also couldn’t listen to others. When you fall into a pit, you’ll realize how stubborn you’ve been.”

Wang Wei followed up, saying, “What style of women’s clothing are you targeting? I can give you some advice.”

Seeing that he insisted on being a know-it-all, Cheng Zhu couldn’t help but smirk and said, “Sporty style, I also sell sports pants.”

It wasn’t a lie, just that this sports pants is not the same as those sports pants, and this sporty style is different from that sporty style.

Shen Minglang immediately got energized and said, “Wow! Same category, huh? A competitor! Then you shouldn’t teach him, I’m afraid you might sabotage on purpose. Cousin, we shouldn’t listen to him; this guy is tricky!”

Wang Wei: “…”

Lin Lu stood by listening to everyone’s conversation, wanting to show some support for Cheng Zhu, and said, “Send me the link when you have time, I’ll definitely buy some.”

Shen Qingning did not speak; for some reason, she felt that Cheng Zhu was just talking nonsense.

Cheng Zhu looked at Lin Lu, smiled, and waved his hands, saying, “No need, no need, if there’s a chance in the future, I’ll gift you a few sets.”

“Gifting me? Your shop is just starting out, so don’t worry about it. Wait until you make big money, I’ll come asking for it myself! Hehe!”

After a bit of alcohol, Lin Lu became even more lively, walking backward with her hands behind her and smiling brightly at Cheng Zhu.

…

…

After calling for a designated driver, the group parted ways at the entrance.

Shen Minglang was still a bit worried as he saw Shen Qingning had drunk quite a bit.

Lin Lu immediately jumped in to say she hadn’t drunk much tonight and would be staying with Shen Qingning, so there was no need to worry.

Shen Minglang then felt relieved and even found a female designated driver specifically at the KTV entrance.

As for Cheng Zhu, he was too lazy to have the designated driver take a detour in Jiang Wanzhou’s car to drop him home.

He directly hailed a taxi.

Inside the white Land Rover Range Rover, Lin Lu and Shen Qingning sat together in the back seat.

On the way, the tipsy Lin Lu was still excited, chatting away, even saying how she had called Cheng Zhu “master” a couple of times, and he had taught her quite a few tricks!

“Didn’t you find this kind of event boring last time?” In the dimly lit car, Shen Qingning’s beautiful eyes stared at her.

“Yeah, maybe it was because the people we played with last time… weren’t fun?” Lin Lu said.

“Last time it was just us, you, me, my brother, Jiang Wanzhou, and my cousin who has already gone to work in Beijing,” Shen Qingning continued to stare at her.

“No wonder then, that lineup does sound boring,” Lin Lu said with a giggly smile.

Shen Qingning: “…”

Why don’t you just say outright that you find Cheng Zhu fun?

She couldn’t help but say sardonically, “Let me tell you, Jiang Wanzhou told me that Cheng Zhu is also attending Technology University in Hang City, and will be our junior when the semester starts. And there you are, calling him ‘master’ all the time.”

“Really?” Upon hearing that, Lin Lu’s spirited eyes brightened even more, as if gleaming with light.

“That’s great! Later on, I can call him ‘master’, and he can call me ‘senior’, and we can mind our own business, hehe!” the cheerful voice actress said jovially.

Shen Qingning was speechless; your calling him ‘master’ really rolls off your tongue conveniently.

At that moment, Lin Lu suddenly said, “How come he never told us that he’s going to the same university as us? That’s not okay—I’m going to talk to him about it now!”

Shen Qingning: “…”
