Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 292 - 125: The Snowball Game—Advancing Toward 1 Million Yuan as a Dog Mogul!

A trip to Shang Qiu, back and forth, four days just slipped by.

When they returned to Lin'an, it was already the Lantern Festival.

Su Zelin and Luo Xi dragged their luggage out of the train station.

This rush there and back again was a bit tiring, but quite fulfilling.

Luo Xi felt that the camaraderie between her and Su Zelin was becoming stronger, and she herself had become more capable.

After all, she'd never undertaken such a feat of traveling a thousand miles for a classmate before, and her courage and insight had both been exercised, which could be considered a gain.

"I wonder when Wanyin will be back on campus, I really hope her dad gets better soon!"

As they walked out of the station, Luo Xi sighed softly.

"It's just a broken leg, he'll recover quickly!"

Su Zelin was quite optimistic about Liu's father's injury: "But her family does have a tough time!"

"Yeah, just a few old mud-brick houses, not a single decent appliance, and Wanyin's dad is the only breadwinner in the family. There's a grandmother to take care of, younger siblings to look after, that's too difficult! Under these conditions, for Wanyin to get into university is truly remarkable!"

Luo Xi previously only knew Liu Wanyin was a financially disadvantaged student but hadn't realized how hard her life really was.

If it were her, she simply couldn't survive.

Compared to Liu Wanyin, the class belle felt her own life was almost too happy.

"It's a good thing you found a way to help her get that financial aid approved, otherwise paying the tuition would have been really difficult for her!"

Luo Xi was convinced Su Zelin had connections at the financial college, and the financial aid approval was his behind-the-scenes work, because when she was preparing the application report, Su Zelin told her not to prepare too much, just submit whatever evidence she had, seeming quite confident. As expected, after she followed his simple advice, the application was approved shortly after.

However, every time the topic came up, Su Zelin would always remain noncommittal, and he coughed lightly: "Ah Xi, it wasn't me, Wanyin just met the criteria."

Luo Xi thought to herself, who are you kidding.

He probably doesn't want anyone knowing he has any connections with school officials, so he keeps denying it.

"Third Brother, Ah Xi!"

A surprised voice suddenly came from deep behind them.

They instinctively turned their heads to see Hu Xu standing behind them.

Lao Wu also happened to be returning to Lin'an today, arriving at about the same time as theirs.

Hu Xu's gaze flickered between the two of them with a knowing smirk: "You guys..."

Luo Xi was momentarily dumbfounded.

No way, officer, to even bump into this.

This guy must have misunderstood, maybe thinking I have some inappropriate relationship with the class monitor.

"There's nothing between me and the class monitor!"

She quickly explained.

Su Zelin was speechless.

Ah Xi, your words give a kind of air of "I protest too much", making something originally clear and innocent, now everyone would be suspicious.

"Oh wow, Lao Wu, the world is so small, I thought it was incredible enough to coincidentally run into Ah Xi at Lin'an station, and now running into you too!"

Su Zelin was instantly in a heightened emotional state, looking surprised, as if encountering both of them was a stroke of unbelievable coincidences.

Ah Xi, did you see?

That's how a top actor should act.

It's got to be convincing!

"Right, right, the world is indeed small!"

Luo Xi probably also felt that her earlier performance was too weak, so she quickly tried to make up for it.

Unfortunately, Hu Xu didn't buy it.

"Got it, got it..."

Lao Wu's face showed a meaningful smile.

He thought to himself that Nanaz was probably being cheated on.

But it's hard to say who's cheating who, Ah Xi and Nanaz often do gig stuff with Third Brother.

Su Zelin understood that any further explanation would be redundant, so he didn't bother clarifying, letting Lao Wu think as he pleased.

Right at the train station entrance, there was a bus to the university town passing by the finance college, and the three arrived at the stop, waited a bit, and the bus arrived.

After getting on the bus, Luo Xi deliberately distanced herself, sitting in front of Su Zelin, letting Hu Xu sit with him.

Thus, they returned to the finance college and went their separate ways to the male and female dormitories.

Once the class belle left, Hu Xu couldn't help being gossipy: "Third Brother, have you and Ah Xi gotten together?"

"How's that possible, where's your mind wandering, Ah Xi is just my little assistant!"

Without thinking, Su Zelin denied it outright.

"Right, little assistant for side gigs, didn't you save her contact that way on your phone?"

Hu Xu grinned knowingly.

"A capable little assistant!"

Su Zelin corrected him.

"Almost the same thing, hehe."

"How's that almost? It's worlds apart alright!"

"..."

While bantering, they returned to the dormitory. As the semester was about to start, many students had already returned. Upon entering, they found that Room 302 now had three people.

Feng Zhongliang, Zeng Kaiping, and Cai Wensheng were there, only Hou Yongjin and Hu Xu were missing.

Old Feng was the first to return, he worked diligently, just as when he first entered school, he had cleaned the dorm early on. The dusty windows were spotless after being wiped, and he had used oxalic acid to scrub the ceramic toilet clean of stains. The whole dormitory was spick-and-span, a commendable duty room leader indeed.

Zeng Kaiping had come back early to get online, though he could visit internet cafes at home, internet fees were still pretty expensive.

The spirited young lad spent whole days fishing on QQ, the expenses alone cost several dozen a day, and his family nagged too, so he returned to school early where there was a computer and campus network to play as much as he liked.

As for Cai Wensheng, it was mainly because of popcorn, these two missed each other over the break.

"Hey, Third Brother, Ah Xu, how'd you guys come back together?"
