Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 175 - 87: Literature Club Freshmen Gathering, a Promise Across Lifetimes with Nanaz! (Part 2)

Ding Linna was taken aback. She had intended to casually tease Su Zelin, but unexpectedly, the loafer started spouting a whole bunch of stuff.

Even though she knew he was boasting, she couldn't help but admire the fact that he could boast with such style—it was truly impressive!

"What you said is just too wonderful, it really touched the depths of my soul!"

The first literary girl could only lament that her ability to express herself wasn't as powerful as his. 'The depths of my soul' sounded somewhat poetic, but the word 'touched' was a bit crude.

"Your literary knowledge is amazing; you casually referenced so many famous quotes. Aside from Shakespeare's 'Without books, life is like without sunlight,' I haven't heard of the others!"

The second literary girl was equally full of admiration.

"It's so fortunate to meet someone as talented as you in the literature club. I'm glad I came to the right place. By the way, we don't know your name yet."

The third literary girl asked proactively.

"My surname is Su, given name Zelin. Actually, my dad is a literature enthusiast too; he gave me this name!"

The loafer immediately embellished his steelworker father with a literary hat.

The girl curiously asked, "Your name sounds nice, is there a story behind it?"

Having a literary dad, there should be some meaningful story behind the name, right? The girls automatically filled in the blanks.

"Speaking of meanings, there are indeed some."

The loafer smiled slightly and casually explained.

"Firstly, the character 'Ze' belongs to the water element, derived from the idiom 'think of the source when drinking water'. My dad hoped I would be a grateful person."

"Additionally, 'Ze' implies auspiciousness, carrying the wish for healthy growth and peaceful success."

"In terms of personality, it also symbolizes a boy with a generous heart, kindness, integrity, and understanding."

"As for the character 'Lin', naturally it belongs to the wood element. Two woods make a forest, symbolizing perpetual life and prosperity. In terms of personality, this character symbolizes a boy's strength, resilience, and courage!"

"My dad liked the meanings of these two characters, and he agreed with a line from Song Dynasty poet Pan Lianggui in 『A Verse』—'Fine woods grace the hills, even the valleys are seen in a hundred years', so he gave me this name!"

Su Zelin's words left several literary girls amazed.

They had never heard the meanings behind 'Ze' and 'Lin'.

Nor the poet's name, let alone his poem.

The more it was like this, the more it seemed mysterious and profound.

There was a feeling of unrecognizable brilliance.

Everyone has a name; at most, ours just sounds nice, but how come others have so much significance behind theirs?

In comparison, our names seemed so ordinary, far from being as high-class.

The literary girls were envious, secretly lamenting why they didn't have such a talented dad to give them a name that sounded good and was meaningful, beautiful, and related to ancient poetry—a name that would give them face when explaining its origins!

Ding Linna was also stumped by Su Zelin; she thought this guy was bluffing, but he really had something, not just blowing hot air.

If you got the president of the literature club here, he might not be able to boast as eloquently and beautifully as Su Zelin—it sounded so high-class, his style was fully maxed out.

The literary girls chatted with Su Zelin for a while longer, got his QQ number, and borrowed a magazine from each of them before reluctantly turning away.

Su Zelin's attention returned to Ding Linna.

The weather was getting colder, and Nanaz wore a raccoon-fur collared mid-length hooded snow goose down jacket today, the kind that would later sell for a high price domestically, often costing over ten thousand per piece, with a condescending attitude toward consumers, criticized as the "Maple Country Goose".

However, in 2000, the brand's reputation was still acceptable, considered a symbol of affordable luxury, indicating that Nanaz's family was quite well-off, and she also had her own small treasury.

The down jacket reached her knees, paired with a pair of leg-enhancing artifacts, quite fashionable and trendy for this era, with a taste of a modern girl.

Ding Linna was tall, at least 1.75 meters, with great leg proportions, long and slender calves, perfectly round and well-shaped, unusually impressive. If she encountered some devoted leg enthusiasts, it would be hard for them to tear their gaze away at first sight, so in the future she became an online store model, specializing in advertising stockings.

Seeing those calves, distant memories surfaced, and Su Zelin could vaguely remember the evening he took pictures of her, the setting sun spilling through the windows onto her, Nanaz lazily leaning on the sofa, casually stretching out those smooth, fair, slender beauty legs with such allure.

What a beautiful evening that was; the future's DSLR pixels were far superior than today's, Su Zelin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

In her past life, Nanaz was quite satisfied with that photo set, Teacher Su was adept at capturing her beauty, emphasizing her proud legs from various angles and poses.

The same day, she even asked Teacher Su to arrange a time to take an art photo set of her, but sadly, before that wish could be realized, Teacher Su was struck by lightning and reborn, leaving the world without an insanely talented photographer, a future artist—what a pity and regret.

Thinking of this, the loafer casually said, "Nanaz, I'll take an art photo set of you sometime. I swear under Teacher Su's name that they'll be beautifully done!"

Ding Linna: "???"

This was not the first time Su Zelin brought up taking photos of her, leaving Nanaz puzzled.
