Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

Chapter 195: A Little Rich Lady Surrounded by Her Family

The next day at noon, the sun shone brightly.

The two of them checked out of their hotel and, after a bumpy journey, finally arrived in Jizhou. They parted ways on Pinghu Street, each heading back to their respective homes.

However, before getting out of the car, Guo Zihang felt a bit conflicted, his face creasing with worry.

Im definitely going to get scolded when I get home. Its all because of that dragon yesterday.

Jiang Qin couldnt help but laugh after hearing this: Just tell your mom the truth. You were supposed to return yesterday afternoon, but you got entangled by a dragon in a cheongsam on the road. You struggled all night to escape back to Jizhou. Maybe your mom will spare your life.

Guo Zihang chuckled emotionlessly: Im just puzzled, Brother Jiang. Your mom is about to give your room to the dog, and youre not even a bit scared?

Its because I brought back a little treasure that will make my parents happy. Jiang Qin patted his Star of Learning trophy.

Guo Zihang immediately understood and felt a bit envious: I should have bought one yesterday. Do you think its still possible to get one at the small commodities market now?

?

Jiang Qin raised an eyebrow and spat in disgust: This trophy is an official award from the school, recognized across the entire school. If you cant speak properly, better not to speak at all.

Guo Zihang didnt care about its authenticity, just looking for an excuse: Brother Jiang, what do you think I should do to avoid getting scolded?

Without a trophy, the only way is to bring a daughter-in-law home for the New Year, otherwise its useless.

How about you bring Feng Nanshu home, and I use your trophy instead?

Get lost. Just seeing you pisses me off.

Jiang Qin drove off from Pinghu Street, trembling with anger at the thought of bringing Feng Nanshu home until he reached his front door.

Since it was a weekday, his parents hadnt returned from work yet. He deftly lifted the doormat, found the key, and opened the door.

Familiar surroundings, familiar scents. The return of a wanderer always brought immense comfort.

Jiang Qin tossed his backpack on the sofa, meandered around the house with his trophy, and finally placed it on the dining table, tilting its base at a 52-degree angle towards the door.

Hmm, this spot is quite nice.

He went out and re-entered the house to check the visibility of the trophy and its inscription from the doorway, feeling very satisfied.

Finding prominent places to display the trophy so his parents would accidentally see it might seem childish for a university student, but for a 38-year-old adult, it was just right.

With this trophy, his and Guo Zihangs homecoming would surely be treated differently.

For dinner, there would be at least six dishes, maybe even a soup.

Jiang Qin turned back to his bedroom, tidied up a bit, and finally lay down on his familiar bed, feeling instantly relaxed.

Golden nest, silver nest, none as good as ones own dog nest.

He sighed in admiration, reached for his phone charger, and his gaze lingered on the cool and cute image on the screen for a long time.

Feng Nanshu had returned home yesterday morning, reaching Jizhou by noon. She had sent him many messages, asking when he would return and when they would go for a walk.

But Jiang Qins phone had run out of battery along the way, and he hadnt seen a single message.

The old version of QQ required manual login to receive messages, unlike those audacious apps of the future that sneakily ran in the background.

Probably seeing no response from Jiang Qin, she sent many messages to herself, mainly being silly.

Jiang Qin, Im going to eat.

Jiang Qin, Im at the library reading.

Jiang Qin, I finished reading. Its getting dark.

Jiang Qin, Im home. Ill wake up at seven tomorrow.

Jiang Qin, Im up.

In short, the little rich lady, whether changing places or doing something different, always sent a string of messages to him, as if what she was doing was just incidental, and what she really was doing was waiting for him to come find her.

Jiang Qin read the messages and sent a reply.

Something came up yesterday, couldnt return to Jizhou, had to stay overnight in Linchuan. My phone died in between, just got home, resting a bit, will go out later.

Jiang Qin waited for a reply, but as he waited, he grew increasingly sleepy. Intending to nap briefly, he didnt realize the sky outside had already darkened when he next opened his eyes.

Laughter and chatter continuously drifted into the living room, indicating the presence of several people.

Getting out of bed, Jiang Qin ruffled his birds nest-like hair and walked into the living room, finding his uncle Yuan Youfeng seated on the sofa, alongside his cousins, and his aunts, Yuan Youmei and Yuan Youlan, who were cracking sunflower seeds.

The family was gathered, chatting away with the TV showing Country Love 2. His trophy, initially on the dining table, was now on the coffee table.

No need to ask the entire family must have already admired the trophy.

Oh, our Star of Learning is up?

A university student and yet bringing back a trophy after half a year of studies, your mom is thrilled. She said shes cooking ribs for you tonight.

By the way, Jiang Qin, I heard in college you get money for winning awards, is that true?

Big brother, youre too materialistic. Its not about the money, its the honor Jiang Qin received!

Thats right, your second aunt is correct, its all about the honor!

Jiang Qin smiled modestly, listening to the flattery from his uncle and aunts, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Weird, this award was earned through my own efforts, not bought in a small commodities market. Why do I feel so guilty?

He scratched his head and quickly left the living room, turning towards the kitchen: Mom, wheres dad? Hasnt he gotten off work yet?

Yuan Youqin, busy cooking, replied: He went to buy some wine, just woke up?

Yeah, Im up. Why did my uncle and aunts come over?

They heard youre on break, came to see if youve gained or lost weight. Youre just in time, help bring these dishes to the dining table.

Jiang Qin carried the dishes out of the kitchen, bumping into his father Jiang Zhenghong, who had returned with the wine: Youre so tanned. Go, call your uncle and the others for dinner.

Ive been running around campus all day, how could I not be?

Jiang Qin returned to the living room, calling his uncle, aunts, and cousins for dinner.

Since everyone was there for Jiang Qin, he naturally became the center of the conversation.

The uncle was decent, asking about studies and life, but the aunts were more gossipy, with every question about love life.

Jiang Qin, got a girlfriend yet? I heard there are many girls in your major.

No, Auntie, Ive been busy studying, Jiang Qin replied nonchalantly.

Yuan Youqin didnt believe a word: Jiang Qin, if you have a girlfriend, bring her home for us to meet. Ive always wanted a daughter, but since you were the firstborn, having a daughter-in-law would fulfill my dream.

Aunt Yuan Youmei chimed in: If you bring her home for the New Year, Ill give you a red envelope. Name your price, and your second aunt and uncle will give you three times that. How about it?

Jiang Qins eyes lit up: Any amount I name? Really?

The uncle immediately waved his hand: Better not include me, Im so poor I cant even afford cigarettes.

Big brother, what are you afraid of? Jiang Qin said he doesnt have one. He cant possibly rent one just to get a red envelope from you, right?

He just got excited, what if he actually brings one home for you?

Jiang Qin gave a thumbs up, thinking the uncle was spot-on.

The next second, the uncle passed a phone to Jiang Qin nonchalantly: Your cousin was playing Snake on it. That girl on the wallpaper looks pretty.

Jiang Qin: ??????

What girl? Yuan Youqin turned to look at Jiang Qin.

The girl on his phone wallpaper looks like his girlfriend. This kids not telling the truth, his uncle sold him out in a single sentence.

Aunt Yuan Youmei was taken aback for a moment: Really, Jiang Qin? You actually have a girlfriend? Forget what I said earlier, Im broke too. The red envelope is capped at 500 yuan, no more!

I dont have a girlfriend, Auntie. Dont listen to my uncles nonsense. The girl on my phone wallpaper is a celebrity.

Nonsense, show us!

Jiang Qin, with no other option, reluctantly showed everyone the wallpaper featuring Feng Nanshu.

The photo, taken last time in the maple forest, wasnt of high resolution, but the lower pixel quality only made the person in the photo look even more stunning.

In the image, amidst the pure white snowfall, stood a cool and cute girl with her nose red from the cold. Her eyes were clear and bright. She was making a scissor hand gesture with her left hand on her right cheek, the whole action looking silly and endearing.

Actually, after taking this photo, they had also taken a selfie together, but thankfully, he hadnt used that as his wallpaper. Otherwise, it would have been really hard to explain the just friends concept, which was way ahead of its time.

See, shes so beautiful, how could she possibly be my girlfriend? What would she see in me? My lack of bathing?

She really is beautiful

The family gathered around Feng Nanshus photo, indeed finding it hard to believe that Jiang Qin could land such a gorgeous girlfriend.

Yuan Youqin also looked at Feng Nanshus photo for a long time, finding the girls eyes, though cold, revealing an enchanting and charming innocence. The more she looked, the more she liked her.

A good feeling?

Liking her?

Then she definitely cant be Jiang Qins girlfriend.

According to what neighbor Li said, the one you get annoyed with at first glance is supposed to be the daughter-in-law.

Yuan Youqin returned the phone to Jiang Qin, feeling slightly disappointed but also finding this disappointment strange.

When Jiang Qin was in high school, she was always worried he would fall in love early and not focus on his studies. But now, just half a year into university, she found herself longing for a daughter-in-law.

Especially considering neighbor Li, only five or six years older than her, already doting on her little grandson, strolling around the neighborhood, truly enviable.
