Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 222 - 102: Oppa, Merry Christmas Eve

Leaving the sports center, Su Zelin slowly walked along the campus path.

He was extremely familiar with this main campus road of Zhejiang University.

In his previous life, he had walked it countless times with Qin Shiqing, and even in the distant future, it hadn't changed much.

His thoughts suddenly drifted back to the distant past.

That Christmas Eve during our junior year, after Qin Shiqing finished hosting the party, I whisked her away in front of everyone.

I held her hand, passing through the sports center under the envious and jealous gazes of countless male students from Zhejiang University.

The conversation between us remains vivid in my mind.

"Zelin, where are we going?"

"How about watching a movie?"

"It's so late, and you want to watch a movie?"

"It's fine, I'll get you back, I promise."

"Well... okay, but don't lie to me, okay!"

"If I lie to you, I'm a puppy, woof woof woof!"

"You're annoying!"

"..."

After a long time, Su Zelin snapped back to reality.

In this life, Qin Shiqing and I are just good friends.

It's hard to like someone.

It's even harder to give up on someone you like!

A gust of wind blew by, and I seemed to hear the silvery laughter of a childhood companion in the wind, as if she was right beside me at that moment.

Breathing the air you breathed, does that count as embracing?

Walking the path you walked, does that count as a reunion?

He walked on silently, his head lowered.

Until he heard someone calling.

"Zelin!"

Su Zelin chuckled to himself.

I can't believe I'm hearing things.

"Zelin!"

Once again, the voice came closer.

This isn't an illusion!

He quickly turned his head and saw that familiar face behind him.

"Qin Shiqing!"

Su Zelin's pupils contracted.

The girl was still wearing that thin long gown and had just thrown on the down jacket that Granny Su gave her.

After hearing that Su Zelin had been here tonight, and realizing that the person she saw on stage was likely him, Qin Shiqing rushed over, makeup still on, without even changing her performance outfit.

She was holding a pair of shoes in her hand.

Due to the nature of the performance and the long gown, she had worn a pair of high heels.

These shoes didn't allow for running fast; afraid of missing Su Zelin, she simply took them off and, in the cold, chased him barefoot on the icy path.

"It really is you!"

Arriving in front of Su Zelin, the girl was a bit breathless, her chest heaving, but her crescent moon-like eyes showed undeniable excitement.

"What are you doing, running around barefoot in this dress? Are you trying to get sick?"

Even though he didn't understand how Qin Shiqing knew he was at Zhejiang University, seeing his childhood friend's state made Su Zelin frown.

"Didn't someone say they wouldn't come watch my performance tonight? And yet secretly sent someone a ticket and sneaked in!"

Qin Shiqing deliberately put on a stern face.

Hearing her words, Su Zelin realized that Xie Tianyu had sold him out.

Damn it, I knew that guy was unreliable; you can't trust a player!

Su Zelin silently cursed in his heart.

Swearing and breaking it, he deserves to be struck by lightning! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"I couldn't help it, I didn't want to, but Xie Tianyu insisted I come!"

He made up an excuse.

Though he originally intended to ask Xie Tianyu for tickets, the latter had offered them before he had to ask.

"But I invited you to come too, so why didn't you come?"

The girl furrowed her brows, clearly displeased.

"It's different; he's the vice president of the department's student council, have to give face. We're so familiar, why should I give you face? Besides, Xie Tianyu was more sincere; he gave me a VIP ticket, the best kind. Yours was just an ordinary ticket, not sincere enough, so after much thought, I squeezed in a visit despite being busy!"

Su Zelin argued confidently.

"Then why were you wearing a hat, sneaking around?"

Qin Shiqing questioned with her hands on her hips.

"In such cold weather, isn't wearing a hat normal? I'm not the only one with a hat in the sports center! Plus, if I don't hide my looks, the girls from your Zhejiang University would swarm me, and it'd be quite troublesome to get away."

Qin Shiqing: "..."

This childhood friend sure was a smooth talker. Even though she knew he was lying with a straight face, she couldn't do much about it.

But regardless, seeing Su Zelin appear tonight made her quite happy.

"Okay, stop nagging all the time, you're getting more and more like my mother. It's not like our family sells '100,000 Whys,' why ask so many questions? Instead of nagging, why not just put on your shoes sooner!"

Seeing Qin Shiqing still barefoot, standing on the cold ground, Su Zelin couldn't bear it and had to remind her.

Only then did the girl remember to squat down and put on those high heels.

Hmm, very fair...

Su Zelin quickly averted his gaze.

"You're already an adult, haven't fully grown up, and you're learning to wear high heels? Don't twist your ankle!"

Though Qin Shiqing looked great in high heels and they enhanced her figure and aura, Su Zelin couldn't help but make a few remarks.

"I had to go on stage to host; it's required by the planners, what could I do!"

Qin Shiqing pouted.

"Alright, alright, you should hurry back and change!"

Su Zelin couldn't let Qin Shiqing stay in the cold wind for too long; the only warm thing she had was that down jacket.

"I kind of twisted my ankle, it's inconvenient in these shoes, help me!"

"Twisted your ankle? How come I didn't notice? Weren't you running pretty fast?"
