Rebirth System: Learning makes me happy - Chapter 55

Yu Xingye’s timing was perfect. Su Qingqing had just entered the classroom when she heard the preparatory bell.

Tian Tian was the first to see her and waved, “Qingqing, over here.”

Su Qingqing quickly went over after hearing the voice. The students on both sides secretly glanced at her, and when she got there, they seemed to see something, their eyes shining and their cheeks blushing.

Su Qingqing didn’t notice them. She quickly sat down, took the textbook Lin Xiaoyan handed her, and thanked her roommates with a smile.

“It’s good that you’re here.”

Tian Tian said, “Don’t mention it, it was just a small favor.”

Su Qingqing hadn’t planned to ask Zheng Yinqiu to bring her books. She had texted her roommates on the bus to ask them to help her.

She took a lot of candy and chocolate from the bus, calling it—thanking her roommates.

Yu Xingye turned a blind eye to Su Qingqing’s little scheme, only helplessly telling her to eat less.

Su Qingqing was handing out candy to her roommates when Wang Qian blushed slightly. While taking the candy, she whispered, “Qingqing, you…you have something behind your ear.”

Su Qingqing touched it in confusion, but found nothing unusual. “What?”

Wang Qian carefully took out her phone and snapped a picture, sending it to Su Qingqing.

Su Qingqing looked down and instantly blushed.

The photo was quite clear; a noticeable red mark was prominently displayed on Su Qingqing’s fair and delicate skin behind her ear. It was so obvious that it made it difficult to spot the small birthmark there.

No wonder Yu Xingye, who clearly couldn’t comb his hair, insisted she teach him how to do a ponytail this morning.

Su Qingqing bombarded Yu Xingye with messages.

Qing: [Yu Xingye!]

Qing: [Look what you’ve done!]

Qing: [Photo.jpg]

Qing: [Ahhhhhh]

Qing: [Yu Xingye, you just wait this afternoon!]

Just then, the bell rang, and the professor announced the start of class.

Su Qingqing wanted to continue her harsh words, but could only put down her phone in embarrassment and anger, listening attentively to the lesson with a flushed face.

Yu Xingye was driving when he heard his phone ringing incessantly, knowing that Su Qingqing had discovered his masterpiece. He smirked and, while waiting at a traffic light, picked up his phone to check Su Qingqing’s messages one by one. When he saw the photo, Yu Xingye clicked “save” with satisfaction.

Xingxing: [Very beautiful.]

Xingxing: [Save.]

Su Qingqing saw these two messages during the break and laughed in anger, but still couldn’t bear to let her hair down.

Tian Tian was browsing the forum and patted Su Qingqing after seeing this: “Qingqing, look.”

Su Qingqing looked down and saw the exaggerated title on the forum: “Which shameless person stole our school beauty!”

The poster wrote: “Here’s what happened. This morning, I had the same long class as Su Qingqing. I came to the classroom early to wait, but when I saw that her roommates had all arrived, she hadn’t. I was disappointed because I thought she had taken leave, but after a while, I saw her arrive as the bell rang.”

(100 words of flattery omitted here.)

I was sitting on the aisle side when Su, the school beauty, passed by me. I faintly smelled a slightly bitter sandalwood scent, and then I discovered something incredible—it was men’s perfume!

Then, out of curiosity, I turned around and looked. Classmates, do you know what I saw?! What?! What?!

Out of IQ Service Area: OP, don’t keep us in suspense!

A University’s Brightest Star: Ahhh, no way, she has a boyfriend!

Anonymous: OP, are you male or female? How do you know it’s men’s perfume? What if she likes this scent?

OP: Sorry, I just looked up a photo I took of the school beauty’s back. @Upstairs, I’m a girl, and without being immodest, I’m quite knowledgeable about perfumes. I’m absolutely certain that no girl would use that perfume, and it’s not any fragrance on the market!

Classmates, look! Look behind her ear, there’s a red mark there! Look at the shape and color, it’s not just my imagination!

Study to Death: Ahhh, it’s a hickey!

School Beauty, look at my ID: Waaaaah, I’m heartbroken.

Shrimp Doesn’t Blink: Who is it?!

Famous Tea Appraisal Expert: I just tried it on my boyfriend, and it’s definitely a hickey.

Naming Until My Head Goes Bald: Get out of here, you dog abuser!

…

Su Qingqing scrolled for ages but didn’t see anyone reveal that she was picked up by luxury cars every day. She and Yu Xingye didn’t hide anything at all; Yu Xingye’s car was always parked openly at the school gate waiting for her, and yet no one noticed.

Seeing that she wasn’t angry, Tian Tian finally got gossipy: “Qingqing, you two finally confirmed your relationship?”

Lin Xiaoyan and Wang Qian also looked curious.

Su Qingqing smiled frankly, “Yeah, let’s find a chance to have a meal together sometime.”

Tian Tian exclaimed, “Yay!”

Lin Xiaoyan laughed, “As the first person in our 608 class to find a partner, Qingqing, one candy isn’t enough to quell the anger of the three of us single dogs.”

Wang Qian even joined in the teasing, “At least two!”

Tian Tian laughed heartily, “Exactly, at least two.”

Su Qingqing generously gave them all the candies, “Take as many as you want, I’ll bring you more tonight if you need more.”

Seeing her roommates’ overflowing blessings, Su Qingqing felt incredibly lucky to have met them.

After class in the afternoon, Su Qingqing said goodbye to her roommates at the entrance of the teaching building, then turned and headed towards the library.

Although she had never studied in the library, she often borrowed books there, and the teachers working there already knew her.

“Little Su’s here!”

“You’ve gotten even prettier, Little Su, after the holiday!” “Exactly! It’s a pity my son is so useless; I don’t even dare introduce him to anyone.”

Su Qingqing greeted everyone, then handed the books she had just chosen from upstairs to the teacher handling the borrowing procedures.

“Little Su, you’ve already finished that book so quickly?”

Su Qingqing: “Not yet, I’m planning to read something else to relax.”

The teacher looked at the three or four psychology books in her hand, remaining noncommittal about her “relaxation.”

After completing the borrowing procedures, Su Qingqing said goodbye to the teachers and walked briskly out of the school.

She saw Jiang Nian and the Zheng siblings waiting for her under the shade of a tree. They ran over as soon as they saw Su Qingqing.

Zheng Yinqiu said in a clear voice, “Auntie!”

Zheng Boqiu followed suit, “Auntie!”

Su Qingqing helplessly tapped their heads.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Su Qingqing hadn’t been affected by the forum.

Jiang Nian chuckled, “Qingqing, you two have finally confirmed your relationship! That was so hard-won.”

Su Qingqing blinked. Actually, it happened very quickly for them, after all, it had only been a little over three months since they met.

Zheng Yinqiu agreed with Jiang Nian’s statement: “My mom asks me every day when you two will get together, and it’s always so hard for me to lie to her.”

Su Qingqing wasn’t surprised that Zheng’s mother knew about their relationship, but she was curious how she knew, since Yu Xingye didn’t seem like the type to bring it up.

“How did Aunt Yu know?”

Zheng Yinqiu corrected her: “You should call her sister.”

Su Qingqing ignored her and looked at Zheng Boqiu.

“Xiao Qiu definitely doesn’t know,” Zheng Boqiu smiled mysteriously, “Even my dad doesn’t know.”

Su Qingqing knew he knew because he was being so mysterious, so she didn’t indulge him and asked Jiang Nian directly: “Nian Nian, are you curious?”

Jiang Nian couldn’t see the tension between them and nodded: “I’m quite curious. Although you two haven’t hidden it, it doesn’t seem like Yu Xingye would bring it up on his own initiative.”

Jiang Nian recalled the cufflinks he wore when she went to sign the house purchase contract last time and thought: ‘He’ll definitely be secretly showing them off.’ Zheng

Boqiu gave Su Qingqing a resentful look before honestly answering, “My mom really likes you. The day after you left, she kept mentioning you to my uncle, trying to set you two up.”

This time, not only were Su Qingqing and Jiang Nian surprised, but Zheng Yinqiu was also shocked.

Then Zheng Yinqiu suddenly realized, “I was wondering why Mom kept urging us to come to school early; it turns out she had planned for us to be her tour guides.”

One for each of them, a very reasonable arrangement.

Zheng Boqiu shrugged; he had come willingly, going along with the flow, after all, he had his own selfish motives.

He continued, “I didn’t know any of this at first. Later, my mom kept asking me about those days at sea, and then one night I saw her pulling my uncle around asking him all sorts of questions. My uncle seemed a bit annoyed by the questions and just said ‘I’m pursuing him’ before going back to his room.”

Zheng Yinqiu winked, “Pursuing him, huh?”

Jiang Nian chimed in, “Pursuing him, huh?”

Zheng Boqiu, feeling they shouldn’t break up the group, added, “Pursuing him, huh?”

Su Qingqing was both amused and exasperated. She pretended to call Yu Xingye, but they all grabbed her and held her down. The four of them burst into laughter, full of lively and unrestrained joy.
