Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 219 - 101: That Person Looks Just Like Zelin

Taking the bus all the way to Zhejiang University, Su Zelin was very familiar with this place, so he didn't need to ask anyone and went straight to the cultural center.

The art gala was about to start, and the entrance was bustling with people everywhere.

Su Zelin stopped dead in his tracks from a distance, and even lowered his baseball cap.

If nothing unexpected happens, Qin Shiqing should be preparing backstage now, but he was worried about running into his childhood friend's roommate.

Taking out his Nokia 8210, he dialed a call: "Hey, Brother Xie, I'm here, under the locust tree to the right of the cultural center entrance!"

Xie Tianyu's voice came from the other end: "Okay, Brother Qin, hang tight, I'll be out in a moment!"

Su Zelin didn't hesitate and hung up directly.

Before long, he saw the figure of the Vice President of the Student Union.

Xie Tianyu came to the locust tree, stared for a while, and then recognized Su Zelin, as he was the only one there.

"Brother Qin, why are you wearing this cap and sunglasses?"

"I'm too handsome, gotta seal my looks to avoid being swarmed by the girls at Zhejiang University."

Su Zelin used the same excuse again.

Xie Tianyu: "..."

I admit you're handsome, but you're really narcissistic.

Can't a finance student have some self-awareness?

If a pretty girl from Zhejiang University really likes you, I'll eat three pounds of crap!

Thinking this inwardly, Xie Tianyu still wore a flattering smile: "Brother Qin, here's your ticket!"

Su Zelin took the ticket and casually stuffed it into his pocket, chuckling: "Thanks, Brother Xie!"

"Haha, no need to be polite, we're all in this together."

Xie Tianyu laughed gleefully, feeling he was getting closer to the junior he was after.

After chatting briefly with Su Zelin, he added, "Bro, we can enter the venue soon. I'll head back first; there's a lot going on with the gala and those folks are slacking. I need to personally oversee it, or it'll turn into chaos!"

"Alright, Brother Xie, you go ahead and do your thing, don't worry about me!"

Xie Tianyu hurried off.

Su Zelin waited under the locust tree for a bit, and around eight o'clock, the cultural center doors opened.

The students waiting at the door filed in, and he joined the crowd to get his ticket checked and entered the venue.

Elsewhere in the cultural center, before the gala began, several girls were chattering, including Xiao Yue and others.

"Shiqing is really amazing, she's been chosen as the host just two months after starting school!"

"Right, only two hosts were picked from the entire department!"

"Haha, well, Shiqing looks good and had a lot of hosting experience from high school!"

"..."

The girls were excitedly chatting, except for Yan Qiuwen, who kept her head buried in a book, seemingly indifferent to what's happening around her.

Suddenly, sharp-eyed Shen Jia made a discovery, pointing to the distant corridor: "Hey, look over there, that guy with the cap and sunglasses looks like Su Zelin!"

"Su Zelin, where?"

The others instinctively looked in that direction, but the boy Shen Jia mentioned was soon swallowed by the rushing crowd entering the corridor, leaving only a back view.

"The back does look a bit like Su Zelin's, also quite tall."

"Probably just resembles him. Shiqing had a friend ticket and said Su Zelin didn't want to come, so she gave it to a senior from another department!"

"Haha, these two seem to have a rocky road ahead, let's enjoy the show!"

"..."

Xiao Yue and the others just thought they had mistaken someone for him, but none noticed the slight surprise on Yan Qiuwen's face. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Indeed, it's him.

Moreover, the genius girl quickly figured out why Su Zelin declined Qin Shiqing's ticket but showed up at the cultural center tonight.

Human nature is really complicated.

Yan Qiuwen shook her head and continued reading.

...

The venue for the departmental gala at Zhejiang University isn't particularly large.

If it were an event for the whole university, it would be held in the gymnasium.

Soon he found his seat by the numbers on the ticket, and to his surprise, it was quite good, really close to the stage and right in the center.

However, for Su Zelin, this wasn't good news. If Qin Shiqing was sharp-eyed, she might spot him.

He was a bit puzzled. Didn't Xie Tianyu say the seat wasn't so good? He had expected it to be in the corner or further back.

His phone vibrated then, a message had arrived, and it was from the Vice President.

"Brother Qin, you entered the venue, right? Found your seat yet?"

"Yes, but why is it so up-front and in the middle?"

"It was originally just an ordinary ticket, but I went the extra mile to get you this VIP seat! Surprised?"

Xie Tianyu's message carried a bit of a triumphant tone.

This ticket was actually left over by a sponsor who couldn't make it to the gala last minute. He initially planned to use it to curry favor with another girl but ultimately decided to curry favor with Qin Shiqing's brother first.

Perhaps, by showing my sincerity through this, he'll help match me with Shiqing in the future.

Oh my... what a surprise! Seriously?

Su Zelin chuckled in disbelief.

You're really making decisions for me, sucking up to me, aren't you!

"Can I switch to a less ideal seat, preferably in the corner?"

"Uh, why switch seats? This ticket is highly sought after by everyone, and I'm giving it to you because we hit it off so well. Besides, now that the venue is full, there are no other empty seats to switch to!"
