Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards

The focus was lost afterwards.

What Xia Yu could find out was nothing more than relatively public information.

Pei Shuyu, born in 1996, from Cong Province, 1.72 meters tall, with unknown measurements and weight.

Since her freshman year, she had been avidly pursued by many talented people but had yet to have a boyfriend. It seemed she was flirtatious, but in reality, she was pure and self-respecting—this sentence was something Xia Yu repeatedly emphasized.

Her family background seemed average, and she had done part-time work as a ceremonial hostess, runway model, and auto show model.

She had few friends and was very wary of strangers, never accepting gifts from boys.

Blah blah blah, when it came to this point, even Xia Yu himself lost steam.

“Hey! The senior is particularly aloof. She ignores anyone who rushes up to ask for her WeChat. You’re not from our department, how can you make contact with her?”

Su Huai had anticipated this, so he wasn’t disappointed at all.

In his memory, Pei Shuyu had always been someone very hardworking, stubborn, and independent. Rumor had it that she had earned an apartment in Imperial Capital even before graduating from college.

Whether true or not, she was seldom seen on campus, which left many of her admirers without recourse.

There were even rumors she was either gynophobic or androphobic, anyway, after becoming an internet sensation, it was revealed that all her assistants, secretaries, operators, and even drivers were women.

By the time her MCN agency grew larger, there was little news of her online, but Su Huai, who was in the same industry for a while, knew her company was thriving and had a high valuation.

Women who were strong in later years weren’t necessarily so now, but certain traits never change.

Like the tenacity in one’s character, the perseverance in the face of hardship, the resolve after setting a clear direction…

Way too difficult to handle.

At his core, Su Huai just wanted to trigger the reward. No matter how brilliant her future was, it was not as important as the current 60 points of favorability, so he didn’t care much about her.

If it weren’t for the high standard of 90 points for comprehensive scores, and the alternatives being even harder to come by, Su Huai would have chosen someone randomly to pursue, instead of idly listening to Xia Yu getting heated over nothing.

“Forget it.”

Su Huai gently persuaded Xia Yu, “I can’t possibly squat below your building every day to offer her water and flowers. If it’s not suitable, let’s not force it.”

“Ah…” Xia Yu sighed sorrowfully, “How cute is the senior? I’m telling you, you’ll really regret it if you miss out on her…”

Then he babbled on about some anecdote he had heard from who knows where.

When Pei Shuyu was a freshman, she had participated in the college dance group. She went there excitedly, but within a couple of days, she was stripped of the right to perform because her run caused her to jiggle DuangDuang uncontrollably.

The group leader’s exact words were, “I asked you to perform ‘White Deer Plain’, not ‘Plain Earthquake’! Get off the stage! From now on, just keep dancing as a hobby!”

At this point, Xia Yu was indignantly defending her: “Actually, the senior’s dance foundation isn’t bad at all!”

Yes, yes, her split leaps are quite slick…

But her sinful figure really doesn’t mesh with art, does it? Where’s the logic in that?

Su Huai even doubted whether she could still perform a front flip now, or whether she would just somersault forward and face-plant, which would be quite the spectacle…

“All right, all right, I’ll keep looking and see if there’s a chance to make contact, okay?”

Su Huai placated Yu Yangyang again, just as someone knocked on the dormitory door, and he swiftly excused himself: “Let’s go, take a look.”

Someone called come in, and Gao and Er Gao pushed the door open and entered.

“Huai!”

As soon as the two brothers entered the room, they excitedly shouted, “Your childhood sweetheart has hit the hot posts on the forum!”

“Calm down, what are you so excited about!”

Su Huai waved his hand and introduced Gao and Er Gao to Xia Yu and Sao Ji, with Gao being Gao Yunxiang and Er Gao being Gao Yuxiang, both pretty high fliers.

Since they were all freshmen this year, communication between them was bound to be smooth, and they hit it off after a few sentences.

After some pleasantries, Sao Ji asked eagerly, “What were you two just asking about? Huai’s childhood sweetheart? What’s that about?”

Gao immediately beamed with excitement, “Haven’t you seen the forum? That hot topic pinned at the top of the page is about Huai’s childhood sweetheart!”

Sao Ji and Xia Yu were immediately confused, “Hot post? There’s only one campus belle post today, right?”

“That’s right!”

Er Gao nodded forcefully as if it had everything to do with him.

“The newly crowned campus belle, Chen Nuanhan! She’s Huai’s childhood sweetheart, didn’t you know?”

Clang!

Pitter-patter…

Just as Chu Changkuo, who had just doused himself with cold water to soothe his fevered state, pushed open the door to return to his room, he heard such disastrous news.

Like a bolt from the blue, it struck him dumb on the spot.

With a tremble of his hand, his basin dropped, and things scattered all over the floor.

The soap skidded around on the floor before finally coming to a stop in front of the tall and imposing Er Gao.

Er Gao looked at Chu Changkuo, who was pale, dripping wet, wearing only underwear, with a confused look in his eyes staring intently at him, then down at the soap by his feet…

He shivered all over suddenly.

Without a word, he stepped back two paces, keeping his distance from that soap, and stealthily hid behind Gao, feeling weak at the knees.

“Huai… Huai, your dorm?”

“`

Stuttering, hesitating, a mind as chaotic as a tangled ball of yarn… In short, indescribable.

Su Huai didn’t even realize what he was fretting about and casually introduced, “That’s our roommate, Chu Changkuo, Mr. Chu, from an insanely wealthy family. Becoming good friends with him, you definitely won’t have to worry about the future.”

It was a joke, but not entirely untrue.

Chu Changkuo had previously offered to help arrange internships, and it wouldn’t hurt to crack a joke about it, right?

The result wasn’t Chu Changkuo getting angry, but scaring Er Gao stiff.

I don’t want to make friends like that!

Just as he thought this, Chu Changkuo suddenly pointed to Su Huai and asked with a quivering voice, “Chen Nuanhan is… um, your classmate?”

“Yeah, high school classmate, what about it?”

Su Huai flashed a particularly brilliant smile and then watched as Chu Changkuo’s expression went from shocked to twisted—eyebrows raised, eyes bulging, pupils dilating, and cheeks puffing up furiously…

It was that kind of extreme anger, like gnashing one’s teeth in half rage, half madness.

“You, you, you…”

Chu Changkuo suddenly started stuttering, unable to continue.

Just thinking about how he had been drooling over Chen Nuanhan’s posts made his face feel like it was burning.

So freaking embarrassing!

If no one knew Chen Nuanhan, it wouldn’t really matter.

What guy doesn’t fantasize about a beautiful girl when bored in the dorms?

It’s perfectly normal!

But Chen Nuanhan turns out to be that Gou Dongxi Su Huai’s childhood friend, and that’s freaking like being caught with your pants down in public!

Damn it, there must be something toxic about this freaking dorm!

“You… I… Damn it!”

Chu Changkuo lost his composure again, kicking the washbasin under the desk and grabbing his phone to leave.

Tired of it all, let it all be destroyed!

Gao and Er Gao watched the scene in stunned silence, feeling that their class leader lived in an extremely challenging and treacherous environment. Just look at the company he keeps!

“He…”

“Is somewhat seriously ill.”

Sao Ji interjected discontentedly, his complaints reaching the heavens, “It’s only been two days since the start of school, and he’s throwing tantrums all the time, acting like a spoiled brat?”

Xia Yu considered Chu Changkuo’s experiences over the past two days and suddenly shivered.

Let’s be fair for a second…

Is there a chance…

It’s not that Kuokuo is fragile, but that he’s indeed quite miserable?!

What kind of good soul can endure such daily slaps to the face?!

Thinking about it, I’m starting to feel uneasy for him…

Xia Yu observed a moment of silence for Chu Changkuo. Having done his duty, he immediately put it out of his mind.

Looking grievously at Su Huai, he said with a face full of sorrow, “Huai, you already have a school beauty as a childhood friend…”

“Stop, stop, stop!”@@novelbin@@

Su Huai hurriedly waved his hands, clarifying seriously, “We are just high school classmates. The childhood friend bit is a rumor, and I really don’t think of her that way.”

Have you learned yet?

As long as there’s a student from their class present, Gou Huai and Chen Nuanhan will always be purely classmates.

“Exactly!”

Gao kept nodding, eager to bolster Gou Huai’s image, “Huai doesn’t give a damn. We saw it with our own eyes at noon today. Chen approached Huai, and he sent her packing in just two sentences!”

There was a gasp of disbelief from Sao Ji and Xia Yu.

“No way!”

“You must have gotten it wrong!”

Their instinctive denial came out without a second thought.

In fact, Sao Ji and the others had found out the truth, but Er Gao, who had suddenly turned into Sherlock Holmes, was reasoning away:

“We didn’t believe it at first either, but then we analyzed, and quickly found evidence! It’s clear that Chen Nuanhan wanted to go to the cafeteria with Huai, but Huai didn’t give her the chance to speak, and then Chen looked a little upset… How do you explain that?”

The problem was too difficult, the young greenhorns, not savvy in the ways of the world, couldn’t explain it at all.

“Dizzy, that’s too far-fetched, isn’t it?”

The two of them clutched their heads, unable to believe it, but under the emphatic description by Gao and Er Gao, they had no choice but to believe it.

That’s so outrageous…

No, seriously, what on earth does Huai have?!
