Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!-Chapter 132 - 114 Just a Mere Asura Battlefield

Chapter 132: Chapter 114 Just a Mere Asura Battlefield

Inside the claw machine arcade, Zhang Qiqi held her phone and looked at Cheng Zhu with a smile in her eyes.

——It’s like her gaze could spin silk!

She could compete with those women on TikTok known for their “silky gazes.”

Cheng Zhu pretended to be stunned for a moment, but in reality, he fell into a long reverie.

“How many women like her have I met in my past life?”

“Yiyi was definitely one of them.”

“And that Mei Xiao was another.”

“Then there was that girl I only knew as Little Meng.”

“Even Liu Ziting to a certain extent.”

“Good grief! Too many to count! Girls nowadays have such complicated names, I can’t remember them all!”

In his memories, women of this type, if younger than him, would act very innocent and ignorant, always giving exaggerated compliments as if everything you said or did was impressive.

They would have sparkling starry eyes, and when praising you, it seemed as if little stars twinkled in them.

If they were older, they’d talk and act very softly, always unhurried, definitely not the queen bee type.

But occasionally, they would throw in a little tease.

That was exactly how Senior Sister Zhang Qiqi was behaving at the moment.

Any younger guy would have probably turned beet red, heart racing, and utterly infatuated by now after such a conversation.

Dammit, she’s got me hook, line, and sinker!

Who wouldn’t be confused by this kind of older girl? Just look at the reactions of the men around.

Dong Dong was already cursing Cheng Zhu in his mind.

His mentality was like: Worried about his bro living a tough life yet envious if his bro drives a Land Rover.

Motherfucker! I could’ve lived a confident university life!

Flirting with a pretty girl like Zhu Yingying and getting five thousand yuan a month for living expenses, isn’t that blissful?

But motherfucking Cheng Zhu is my roommate, always making me crazily jealous!

The same old saying—”Your life, my dream!”

As for Lin Lu and Shen Qingning, they were staring straight over there.

The cool beauty glanced out of the corner of her eye at her close friend, noting Lin Lu frowning deeply, fixated on Cheng Zhu’s phone, moving her lips without a sound, murmuring something incomprehensible.

“In reality, I’m pretty curious about them too,” Shen Qingning was always clear-headed.

At first, she paid special attention to the interactions between Lin Lu and Cheng Zhu; after all, Lin Lu was her best friend.

But now?

Is it because Cheng Zhu has become a good friend, and I’m somehow indifferent to Zhang Qiqi?

She pursed her lips, but her eyes were on Cheng Zhu’s expressions.

Upon hearing Zhang Qiqi say “Thank you for giving me the chance to add you on WeChat,” his face did indeed reveal a smile.

But not the foolish grin of a man hit on by a pretty girl.

He picked up his phone and said directly, “Since Senior Sister said so, I definitely should be the one to take the initiative to add you on WeChat, can’t wait for you to scan mine.”

“Respect the elders”, let your junior brother take care of it!

Zhang Qiqi immediately opened her QR code for Cheng Zhu to scan, whispering a reminder, “When you send me the photo later, remember to select ‘original image.'”

“OK,” Cheng Zhu nodded.

While Zhang Qiqi lowered her head to accept the friend request, he glanced towards Lin Lu and the others.

Seeing him look over, Lin Lu immediately glared at him.

Cheng Zhu then overacted, squeezing out a puzzled expression and blinking his eyes in confusion.

Acting has always been a required course for playboys.

At this moment, after Zhang Qiqi accepted the friend request, she raised her head and looked at Cheng Zhu with a hint of surprise and a touch of disappointment in her eyes.

This was her genuine emotion, as she hadn’t expected this outcome after adding him.

Cheng Zhu had added her using his work account for “Youu Come to Play!”

Not his personal WeChat!

This gave her a sense of defeat and set her mind racing, “Is it because Shen Qingning is here? Or because Lin Lu is watching?”

No matter the reason, it made her uncomfortable, even awakening a competitive spirit within her.

The smoother her earlier moves had been, the more proactive she was, the more awkward and defeated she felt now.

Her inner desire began to grow stronger.

A complex emotion was spreading within her heart.

Indeed, Cheng Zhu had used the “Push and Pull Technique” on her.

“I’ve sent you all the photos, I need to head over to the cashier; there seems to be an issue, the clerk messaged me on WeChat,” Cheng Zhu told Zhang Qiqi.

Actually, there was one photo he hadn’t sent, the one he had snapped when she flipped her hair earlier.

“Sure, you go ahead and take care of it, junior brother,” Zhang Qiqi clenched her teeth inwardly, but her tone remained gentle.

She didn’t linger in the store, greeted some alumni she knew one by one, and deliberately waved at Cheng Zhu at the cashier before leaving “Youu Come to Play” and riding away on her bicycle parked outside.

Cheng Zhu walked outside, acting as if to smoke, but in reality, he watched from a distance as she rode away, appreciating the rhythm of a beautiful woman’s hips and legs as she cycled.

“Stop looking, she’s gone far away now,” Lin Lu’s voice came from beside him, as she had followed him out.

A few seconds later, Shen Qingning also came out of the store and stood next to them.

“I wasn’t looking,” Cheng Zhu said.

“Bullshit! You were!” Lin Lu was furious, unable to believe that this jerk wouldn’t admit it.

“Why are you so inexplicably angry?” Cheng Zhu looked down at her round doe eyes.

“Because I feel like you’re really happy and smug about it!” Lin Lu couldn’t help but retort.

“Hmm? My shop is doing so well, of course, I’m happy, of course, I’m proud. Aren’t you happy for me?”

“That’s not what I’m talking about!” Lin Lu grew even more irate at his response: “When you were adding her as a friend, you were grinning from ear to ear!”

“No, no, what’s there to be mad about? This is utterly baffling. Do you really dislike Zhang Qiqi that much?” He looked at Lin Lu and said, “I merely used the shop’s work account to add her, you’re being unreasonable!”

“Who is being unreasonable! Who is acting inexplicably!” Lin Lu herself started to feel that she was being somewhat irrational, but she had to stand her ground!

She quickly grasped the main point again and reacted, “Work account?”

Shen Qingning also looked at Cheng Zhu in surprise.

“Obviously, she’s just a customer, so of course, I used the work account to send her photos,” Cheng Zhu said matter-of-factly.

But the words “just a customer” fell into Lin Lu’s ears, making her heart skip in delight and her face clear up, bouncing back to her lively self, even blurting out naively, “Really?”

“Of course! Do you want to check my WeChat? I think you definitely dislike Zhang Qiqi. Do you two actually have some grudge?” Cheng Zhu said.

“Not at all!” Lin Lu mumbled, kicking at the air as if to strike at an invisible stone on the ground.

Cheng Zhu watched her with amusement, and after teasing her, he thought to himself, “Ah, Baby Lu is quite cute.”

Shen Qingning, looking at Cheng Zhu with a curious tone, asked a question that she was quite concerned about:

“Why was the way you took photos of Zhang Qiqi different from when you took photos of us?”

She added quickly, showing she was merely curious, not bothered: “Is there a particular reason?”

Hearing this, Cheng Zhu thought: “Not bad, after the little dummy had her say, it’s the smarty’s turn to question, huh?”

Smart move, Ning Bao.

Indeed, Lin Lu began her naive onslaught: “Right! You treated us differently!”

“Yes, I did treat you differently!” Cheng Zhu took a big sip of the milk tea Lin Lu had bought him.

Then he continued, “Let’s be honest, not to inflate your egos, but Zhang Qiqi, in my view, is just a tiny bit less attractive than you both…”

“My photography skills are so top-notch that I’ve captured you both looking stunning, causing quite the stir!”

“This time, with the same photography technique, but with Zhang Qiqi as the subject, I don’t think the promotional effect would be as good.”

“So I thought of trying a different approach.”

“You know nothing, I’m a business genius!” Cheng Zhu gave off the air of someone purely considering the business perspective.

In truth, he knew that to create campus buzz, if three campus goddesses were photographed in exactly the same style, it would actually provoke discussions, with countless onlookers comparing their photos.

It would be like a beauty pageant, guaranteed to explode across campus!

But “Youu Come to Play” didn’t need more campus buzz.

Not to mention Technology University, even students from Measurement College across the street had been flocking here.

The fame was already reaching across University City!

So, Cheng Zhu was actually more focused on the internet influence now.

Hang City was not lacking internet celebrities, with small influencers abounding and plenty of big ones too.

A truly impressive internet celebrity hotspot is not made by paying influencers to check in, but when influencers, eager to stay trendy and relevant, come on their own initiative.

His actions were always well-thought-out and based on business strategy.

Teasing Zhang Qiqi, using her as a pawn to stimulate the other two ladies, and taking this opportunity to come out smelling like a rose were just incidental.

What girl doesn’t love to be praised?

Cheng Zhu’s message was clear: you two are the real gems, Zhang Qiqi can’t compare.

This made the two women, who were already quite preoccupied with Zhang Qiqi, shift their mindset.

The three of them chatted for a while at the corner outside the shop, and then Shen Qingning and Lin Lu rode away together as they had classes to attend.

Cheng Zhu re-entered the store, feeling that the customers’ gazes towards him had changed somewhat.

Of course, different people have different thoughts, which leads to different kinds of looks.

He could even sense that some people wished they could stab him with their eyes!

Rebirth of the “Damn it, he really deserved it!”

Dong Dong and the others sneakily approached him, pulling him outside the store like they had agreed, saying, “Brother Zhu, show us Zhang Qiqi’s WeChat moments.”

Damn, you’ve got my utmost respect this time!

After all, Cheng Zhu had known Lin Lu and Shen Qingning before school started, but this time, they witnessed Zhang Qiqi actively asking for Cheng Zhu’s WeChat.

“Checking her WeChat moments? Look at you guys, embarrassed!” Cheng Zhu scoffed, scolding the three sworn brothers.

“Hehe, that’s right, I’m shameless!” Dong Dong started to resign himself to his fate, his principles now utterly collapsed.

Clearly, his will had been shattered, Cheng Zhu ruined him!

Cheng Zhu impatiently handed over his phone, saying, “Fine, fine, take a look.”

Damn, staying in the same room with me and still being so shameless!

“What? Brother Zhu, you used a work account to add Senior Sister Zhang?” Liu Feng spoke first, his eyes sparking.

I’m shipping it! This is the unyielding love between Brother Zhu and Senior Sister Lin Lu!

Do you realize the value of him keeping his distance for your sake?

“What do you know? I would never add her WeChat on my own account,” Cheng Zhu said, raising an eyebrow.

In the store, he had just politely mentioned that he took the initiative to scan her code, although it was Zhang Qiqi who brought up the idea of adding each other as friends.

I never actively added Baby Lu or Ning Bao either; my signature move is treating everyone equally!

But the bait was set, wasn’t it?

“Damn, you win! Brother Zhu, from now on, I’ll call you only ‘brother,'” Dong Dong was thoroughly awed by Cheng Zhu’s performance, conceding defeat with unmatched admiration.

He decided to follow in Liu Feng’s footsteps, addressing Cheng Zhu as Brother Zhu instead of Cheng.

After the three sworn brothers respectfully returned the phone with both hands, Cheng Zhu walked alone to the trash can and lit a cigarette.

He took a drag and used the shop’s work account to message Zhang Qiqi.

He sent over the candid photo he had deliberately withheld earlier and typed:

“Missed sending one photo earlier.”
