Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!
Chapter 256 - Chapter 256 Chapter 222 You are the first

Chapter 256: Chapter 222: You are the first Chapter 256: Chapter 222: You are the first Hang City, Lingyin Temple.

Hu Yan and Yue Lingjing had just finished their prayers to Buddha.

As planned, she first prayed for her family’s health and prosperity, then for her boss to continue making money, and for the QQ online business to keep thriving.

She wasn’t really sure if Buddha would bless a QQ business?

Or maybe Buddha would just cover his eyes and avoid it?

Before coming to Lingyin Temple, the two had done some research.

It’s been said that praying for a romantic relationship at Lingyin Temple was particularly effective.

That’s also why many young girls could be seen here.

On the way here, the two had already discussed this topic.

“Don’t you want to take the opportunity during college to have a serious relationship?” Hu Yan asked.

But Yue Lingjing shook her head, “I never thought about dating in college.”

Hu Yan sighed, “Ah! I really do want to be in love! Being in love is so great, even if you’re just staying at home, you have someone with you.”

“Someone to watch TV with you, someone to play games with you, someone to watch anime with you…”

Of course, as a seasoned fujoshi, she was definitely more eager to experience something else.

Always being a craftsman isn’t a long-term plan, it’s time to look for a lasting ‘Ji’.

Yue Lingjing gave her a look and smiled, “Sister, that sounds like living together, not all relationships involve that.”

“Hiss–! Makes some sense!” Hu Yan nodded.

She couldn’t help but lament, “It’s just a pity that I’m such an introverted girl, there aren’t any guys around me to interact with.”

At that thought, Cheng Zhu’s image inexplicably appeared in her mind.

Helpless, as they often flirted online, it was like having an ambiguous online friend.

Sending him her self-portraits, wasn’t she also seeking thrills?

Ah! Initially, she really just wanted to be online friends!

Eventually, she still prayed for a romantic relationship in front of the famous Three-Life Stone.

After leaving the Three-Life Stone, Hu Yan remembered something very important she hadn’t mentioned to Yue Lingjing.

“Junior Sister, about the boss selling QQ lingerie, I hope you can keep it a secret,” she said seriously to the young girl before her.

Yue Lingjing blinked slightly, then whispered, “Sister, I wouldn’t talk about that with anyone anyway.”

Hu Yan thought about it and it made sense.

The junior sister had always been a very well-behaved person, probably the naughtiest thing she ever did was look at my “dirty drawings”.

Such a girl, how would she discuss QQ lingerie with others?

That’s good, that’s good!

Next, I just need to talk to the boss and pretend he doesn’t know that the junior sister is watching my drawings, then everyone can live peacefully!

“Sister, I need to use the restroom,” Yue Lingjing said to Hu Yan.

“Okay. Then I’ll… stand in that corner and wait for you,” Hu Yan found the least crowded spot.

“Hmm.”

This slightly plump and voluptuous woman stood under a tree, bowed her head, and took out her phone, ready to discuss this matter with the boss now.

“Boss, I’ve spoken with junior sister. She said she won’t tell anyone about you selling QQ lingerie. Could you also pretend not to know that I’ve been sending her my drawings?”

Just then, Cheng Zhu had parked his car at Xinhang Apartment and stepped out of his vehicle.

He opened WeChat and chuckled, “Tsk, playing this mutual silence game, huh?”

Indeed, he even thought that if both matters were exposed, Yue Lingjing would probably be socially doomed more than anyone.

He was selling QQ lingerie but had already become the top seller in that category on Taobao; you could say he was the QQ lingerie king of the Taobao platform!

In such a scenario, the items sold were indeed a bit sensitive and talked about a lot, but essentially, it was an impressive achievement.

Just like if the three guys from dormitory 309 knew about this, would they look down on Cheng Zhu?

Impossible.

Those three would probably worship him!

Holy shit, selling QQ lingerie, how badass is that?

And to have reached the top spot?

Brother Zhu, forever a legend!

But for a campus beauty like Yue Lingjing with such outstanding demeanor, if it came out that she was addicted to such manga, you could imagine what she would face.

Definitely, there would be some very nasty words.

So, from any perspective, Cheng Zhu would definitely help keep the secret.

For him, it might just be an extra word spoken. But the final outcome could affect a girl’s life.

Yet, he still picked up his phone and started typing: “You’ve exposed my identity, essentially leaking customer info, shouldn’t you compensate? Maybe invite me for a meal?”

Damn, wearing a mask and secretly scrutinizing my appearance in my store!

How could that be okay?

Under the trees at Lingyin Temple, Hu Yan saw the words ‘invite for a meal’ and suddenly felt a bit panicked.

Having a meal together meant a real face-to-face meeting offline with an online friend.

Yet, what scared her was that her feelings were complex; she was somewhat fearful but somewhat… expectant!

Ah, damn that sneaky curiosity!

Or perhaps, if the two of them hadn’t overlapped much in real life, it might have been better.

But once a door is opened, things immediately become different.

Yes, now that it has come to this, maybe a meal wasn’t such a big deal?

“So boss, when are you free?” Hu Yan asked.

“When are you leaving?” Cheng Zhu didn’t directly answer.

“The plan is to leave the day after tomorrow.”

“Then it has to be today because tomorrow our class is going on an autumn outing, and it’ll be an all day and night affair,” Cheng Zhu replied.

Hu Yan: “!!!”

Ah? Today?

What time is it now, can that even be called today?

That should be called dining soon!

Absolutely no time for mental preparation.

Yue Lingjing just came out of the restroom and walked towards Hu Yan.

“Junior Sister, what do I do, Cheng Zhu asked me to invite him for dinner today, do you want to come with me?” she looked at her like a lifesaver.

You two know each other, then it’s great for you to join us, and you can act as a buffer to ease the awkwardness.

“Ah? But I’m completely not familiar with him,” Yue Lingjing waved her hands continuously in refusal.

More so, she really didn’t want to see Cheng Zhu today.

The reason… all because of your drawings, Sister!

The autumn breeze blew, and Hu Yan’s thoughts wavered in the wind.

Most importantly, he was still her sugar daddy boss, someone she couldn’t afford to offend.

In the end, all she could reply to Cheng Zhu was, “Then… is late-night food okay?”

…

…

Under Xinhang Apartment, Cheng Zhu sat in the car and agreed to have late-night food with Hu Yan tonight.

He now sent a WeChat message to Lin Lu: “I’m downstairs.”

But he’s currently renting a room in Building B, and both he and Lin Lu have a key to the Land Rover.

Thus, Cheng Zhu could just park the car here and Lin Lu could drive it away when she wanted to go home.

So, this cheeky guy intentionally added: “Should I just leave it here?”

“Ah? But I’ve already put on my shoes!” Lin Lu replied instantly.

“Oh really, then come down,” he typed with a smile.

Cheng Zhu opened the car door and stepped out.

Before getting out, he took his cup of Black Sugar pearl milk tea with him but left Lin Lu’s cup in the car.

Shortly after, he saw Lin Lu walking out through the glass door.

She wore a TB cardigan on top and skinny jeans below.

Seeing Cheng Zhu, she first smiled, showing her cute dimples, and waved at him.

But upon seeing him drinking the milk tea alone, her smile immediately disappeared.

“You stingy, drinking milk tea and not even buying me one!”

“It’s not bought, I made it myself,” Cheng Zhu glanced at the Black Sugar pearl milk tea in his hand.

Of course, Lin Lu immediately became curious.

“Let me see! Show me!”

Cheng Zhu handed the cup over.

“Eh, why do these pearls look different from the regular ones?” Lin Lu wondered after inspecting.

“Yes, and they taste different too,” he smiled, “Made with black sugar, a texture that’s not available in the market right now.”

“Ah you’re really mean! Then you should’ve brought two cups to let me and Ningning try!” Lin Lu, being a level ten pearl enthusiast, was really curious about the taste of these black sugar pearls.

Cheng Zhu found it amusing; you’re a bubble tea fanatic yourself and yet so fond of drinking boba.

“Well, there’s still quite a bit in this cup. I’ve only had two sips, drink if you want,” he joked.

“Hah? You think I won’t?” Lin Lu tried to open the cup lid, “I’ll drink it directly like this!”

Cheng Zhu: “…”

“You won’t get much this way. Didn’t you notice these black sugar pearls are quite sticky? If you pour it like this without a straw, you won’t really get anything in your mouth,” he remarked.

“Then I’ll just take it upstairs. We have straw upstairs anyway.”

“Alright, alright, I made one for you, it’s in the car,” Cheng Zhu finally said.

“Really?”

Watching the changes in her facial expression, Cheng Zhu just felt that this young girl was really easy to please.

Her happiness always seemed so simple.

He opened the car door and handed her the milk tea.

“Am I the first one to taste the new product?” Lin Lu suddenly asked.

Girls, they always seem to hold special significance to certain things.

“You’re the first to drink the black sugar boba I’ve made,” Cheng Zhu smiled and answered honestly.

Earlier there, he hadn’t prepared any for the four female staff members to drink, instead, he asked them to try making it themselves based on his previous procedure.

“Then I must give it a good taste! Let me tell you, I really love drinking pearls.”

“I know,” Cheng Zhu watched her as he replied.

Lin Lu was currently inserting a straw into the cup, looking at the black sugar pearls inside while listening to Cheng Zhu’s words, a bit surprised.

Cheng Zhu naturally wouldn’t say I know you like pearls, so I specially made this for you.

He would definitely not say that.

A slight hint was just enough.

“Ah? You know?” Lin Lu looked up and asked.

He just looked her straight in the eye, very seriously, yet seemingly suggestively, and repeated, “I know.”
