Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

Chapter 113: No One Can Sleep

Chapter 113: No One Can Sleep

TL: Etude

Goodnight, Jiang Qin.

In the dead of night, the smartphone screen illuminated the delicate face of the little rich lady. She was lying on her stomach, her left arm draped across the pillow, chin resting on her arm, holding her phone in her right hand. She gazed quietly at Jiang Qins profile picturea shaggy, bespectacled dog with black fur and tufts of yellow hair above its eyes resembling eyebrows.

Its gaze was fierce, its expression as if saying, Lets go for a walk!

Feng Nanshu put down her phone and buried her face into the pillow, then turned over to stare blankly at the empty wall, seemingly soulless.

However, before she could get lost in her thoughts for long, the phone screen suddenly lit up again. It was a message from the stern-looking dog.

Tomorrow, Ill pick you up for the team-building activity at seven in the morning. Dont be late.

I dont have a boss lady badge, Feng Nanshu quickly typed back.

Thats a problem. After all, this is a team-building event, and its more atmospheric to have a work card and badge. So, anyone without them is not allowed on the bus tomorrow.

After reading the message, Feng Nanshu was silent for a moment. Her fair and smooth fingers hesitated over the keyboard. Just as she was about to reply, another message from Jiang Qin popped up.

But you can choose not to take the bus. Ride with me in the passenger seat.

Jiang Qin, youre such a good person.

After reading Feng Nanshus message, Jiang Qin lay in bed unable to sleep, staring blankly at the ceiling. After a while, he sat up, leaning against the wall, continuing to stare blankly. Glancing sideways, he noticed that Cao Guangyu, across from him, was in a similar state, having been in this position for quite a while.

Jiang Qin felt a chill on his scalp: Why arent you sleeping yet? You scared me with your silence.

Cao Guangyu gave him a glance and spoke dully: Arent you also awake?

Im just a bit excited about tomorrows team-building, Jiang Qin pulled the blanket over himself, wrapping it around. What about you, Brother Cao? Share your thoughts.

Ive been pondering life, thinking too deeply, cant seem to sleep.

Have you set your sights on some girl again?

Cao Guangyu suddenly shifted, finding a comfortable position. I can tell you, but this must stay between us. You have to swear not to tell anyone else.

Dont beat around the bush. If you dont tell me, Im going to sleep. You probably cant come up with anything deep anyway, Jiang Qin provocatively responded.

Hey, hey, dont go. Ill tell you, Im about to say it.

Jiang Qin knew he couldnt resist: Go on, Ill try to stay awake and listen.

Old Jiang, what does it feel like to be in love? Are there specific signs? And how do you know if a girl likes you or not?

Jiang Qin was rendered speechless in an instant: Youve been sitting here all night just to ponder this question? Is there something going on?

Ive never been in a relationship before; Im not quite sure, Cao Guangyu began to confess.

What about when you bragged about having five girlfriends at the start of the semester?

We werent close back then. I had to pretend a bit. What if I was the only one whod never been in a relationship? That would be embarrassing.

Jiang Qin chuckled: Not having been in a relationship is nothing to be ashamed of. Pretending you have is whats truly embarrassing.

Alright, the truth is, I think I might have fallen for a girl, Cao Guangyu suddenly spoke up, his eyes burning with intensity.

Jiang Qin wasnt overly surprised: Normal for you. You fall for every girl you see.

But this time, its serious. Havent you noticed Ive been leaving early and returning late recently? Ive been meeting her, but for some reason, Ive become very cautious.

Hearing this, Jiang Qin became slightly more interested: Which department is she from? How did you meet her?

Were discussing life, not drifting off-topic. Im asking you, Jiang, how do you really know if you like someone? Cao Guangyu redirected the question back to Jiang Qin.

Heh, youre basically asking a bald man how to take care of his hair.

Just then, a creaking sound came from the neighboring bed. Zhou Chao sat up: To like someone is to long to see her, to make her happy, to stick close to her. Its an absent-minded yearning, a reckless impulse, a joy that comes from deep within.

Why are you still awake? Jiang Qin was incredulous.

Zhou Chao also sat up: Please, at this age and time, how can you sleep?

Cao Guangyu waved his hand dismissively: Its fine, as long as Ren Ziqiang that bastard is asleep, its okay. This matter is known only to heaven, earth, and us here. Absolutely no fourth person must know.

Agreed.

Okay.

No problem.

As soon as they finished speaking, everyone incredulously turned towards the southwest corner, only to find Ren Ziqiang also sitting up, smiling. The No problem they just heard was from him.

Cao Guangyus face turned green upon seeing him: Damn, youre awake too? Now that you know, the whole school will find out.

Jiang Qin shrugged: Why fear him? He chased Pan Xiu for a month and ended up friendzoned. Hell be laughed at for a lifetime. Are you still afraid of him laughing at you?

Ren Ziqiang turned and lay back down on his bed, thinking it might be better to just sleep to death.

Convinced by Jiang Qins logic, Cao Guangyu let go of his concerns: I think shes a nice person, just a bit short-tempered. Should I pursue her?

If you have the courage to like someone, go for it. Dont wait until you lose that courage and regret it later. Also, make sure shes the right person. A good girl will help you grow, a bad one will only lead you astray, Jiang Qin offered sound advice.

Zhou Chao couldnt help but lean forward: Old Cao, is she from our class?

No, you wouldnt know her even if I told you. Lets sleep! Cao Guangyu lay back down abruptly.

Jiang Qin turned to Zhou Chao: What did you say about liking someone again?

To like someone is to long to see her, to make her happy, to stick close to her. Its an absent-minded yearning, a reckless impulse, a joy that comes from deep within.

Jiang Qin fell silent for a moment: Where did you hear that answer? Its so profound.

I was just reading a novel in bed, and I came across this line. Since you were discussing it, I recited it.

A web novel? I thought it was real. Almost took it personally. Web novels are all about deceiving people. You should read less of those.

Jiang Qin pulled the blanket over himself and was about to close his eyes to sleep when his phone suddenly lit up. It was a message from Guo Zihang on QQ.

Bro Jiang, I heard that theres a milk tea shop in our school looking for a transfer. Do you want to come and see?

Speak of the devil. Where is it? Its not in the small square of the male dormitory, is it? Jiang Qin typed swiftly on his physical keyboard.

Guo Zihang replied immediately: Its right below the girls dormitory.

Ill come over and take a look tomorrow morning. Wait for me at the school gate at 7:30. Dont come too early, I might have to pick someone up.

AN: Recently, I havent been feeling well, very tired, and my head hurts. Im struggling to recapture the feelings I had before. These past few days, Ive been persevering thanks to everyones encouragement. After much contemplation, Ive decided to slow down the update pace a bit, to revise some inconsistencies in earlier chapters, and to organize the upcoming outline. I hope for your support.
