Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

Chapter 2: The Mission of Rebirth is to Make Money

The object that had fallen was a steel plate used for construction.

Jiang Qin considered for a moment and came up with a reliable answer.

Then he encountered a key question, why was he reborn?

The answer was actually quite simple. Probably because his heart was full of regret, which moved the heavens and earth, giving him another chance.

So, what was Jiang Qins regret?

Nothing, just that he hadnt made any money.

Therefore, his purpose in being reborn was to make money. Romance was something not even a dog would bother with!

Especially since he was a spare tire, which was the most energy-consuming. It was better to spend that time helping his parents wash dishes and clean chopsticks.

When young, people always think too much, and its understandable to appreciate beautiful things. But, as a man nearing forty, if his mind was still filled with thoughts of breasts and thighs after rebirth, that would be ridiculous.

Having been reborn, who the hell would bother with romance!

Jiang Qin folded the paper he had written on and put it in his pocket. When he looked up, he saw Chu Siqi standing there in shock, a hint of disbelief in her eyes.

Thats the love letter you wrote for me. How How can you ask for it back?

If you dont want it, then it shouldnt go to waste. Ill just change the name and give it to someone else.

Chu Siqi was taken aback and quickly changed her tune: Jiang Qin, its not like you have no chance at all. I just dont want to fall in love right now, but it might be different when I get to university. When the time comes, Ill consider you first!

Jiang Qin couldnt help but glance at her, feeling goosebumps all over.

If this were his teenage self, he might indeed continue down this path because of this faint hope.

But from his current perspective, his taste in youth was really not that great.

Consider me first? Is that even something a human would say?

What I said is true, but theres one thing, you mustnt write love letters to anyone else, you mustnt like anyone else. If you do, therell be no chance for us!

But I think I dont really like you. Lets part on good terms.

Chu Siqis eyes widened slightly, her proud heart deeply wounded.

How could it end just like that, as if she was the one being dumped? Im so kind, encouraging you not to give up, and this is your attitude?

Jiang Qin, dont you know that love needs to be tested? If you cant even withstand a little setback, how can I consider being with you? I havent seen your determination, you know?

Then find someone else to test it with. I have more important things to do now. Jiang Qins mind was preoccupied with making money, and he really didnt want to get entangled in anything unnecessary.

After hearing this, Chu Siqi exploded: Jiang Qin, you bastard, I swear Ill never bother with you again!

Wait a minute!

Just as Chu Siqi was about to run away, Jiang Qin suddenly stopped her, apprehension present on his face.

Seeing his expression, Chu Siqi felt slightly happy for a moment, a trace of smugness returning to her face.

Hes obviously still afraid of me ignoring him. All that talk about parting on good terms was just stubbornness.

Whats up? Is there anything else? But I have to tell you in advance, you wont have another chance!

Jiang Qin, as if he hadnt heard her, glanced at the stationery bag in his hand: Have we finished the college entrance exams? Is it over yet? Which subject are we at?

Chu Siqi was slightly startled: Its over. The last subject ended this morning!

Thats great, if I had to take it again, I wouldnt even enter Lanxiang Technical School. (TL: Im assuming its a bad school)

Chu Siqi, looking at his radiant smile, suddenly felt a bit dazed: You You stopped me just to tell me this?

Jiang Qin took a deep breath: One more thing, does it mean were on vacation since the exams are over?

I dont know, go ask someone else!

Chu Siqi, infuriated, trotted back to the school building.

Rejected and then pretending not to care, what kind of person is he? Does he think acting this way will soften my heart? I dont know where he learned this, pretending to be indifferent. Well, I wont bother with you for a week, lets see who will be anxious to apologize!

Jiang Qin packed up his things and turned towards the school building, but he hadnt walked far when he was surrounded by a group of classmates who had come to watch the excitement.

I always said youd definitely fail. Is Chu Siqi someone you could just like if you wanted? Youre overestimating yourself!

The speaker was Qin Ziang, a famous second-generation rich kid from Class 2, Year 3, whose father was the biggest property developer in the area.

This guy once made a grand gesture in the school cafeteria by loudly declaring he would pay for everyones meal, an act of sheer arrogance.

Old Jiang, no need to be sad. Theres been at least 80-100 people whove been rejected by Chu Siqi. Ill buy you a soda later.

The second speaker was a small, black, chubby guy with glasses, Jiang Qins close friend during high school, named Guo Zihang.

Jiang Qin ignored Qin Ziangs mocking words, instead looking at Guo Zihang with some emotion, patting him on the shoulder with one hand.

Old Guo, your legs still there, huh? Its rare to see you standing up.

???????

After packing his things and leaving the school, Jiang Qin rode his bike heading south.

Truthfully, a young body is really great, no fatigue or soreness. Youd know if you tried it.

Before his rebirth, let alone riding a bike, he might have been panting just walking a few steps.

But now its different. With such a physique, if he went to a factory to screw bolts, he could probably earn enough for a house.

He pedaled faster and faster, looking at the banners welcoming the Olympics, thoroughly enjoying his youthful body.

Wow, even his hair could flutter in the wind, a feeling he hadnt experienced in a long time!

Half an hour later, he arrived at the Fanhuali community in the north of the city.

The buildings here were already darkening, the paint on the walls peeling off like scabs, and the entire complex didnt even have a proper entrance, just a bar to restrict vehicle entry. Looking in from the entrance, the first thing youd see wasnt the doors to the units but a haphazardly built storage room.

If he remembered correctly, this should be the first community in the old district to be demolished, with the official demolition notice set to be issued in July this year. To demonstrate the determination for the reconstruction project, the government had even distributed all compensation funds by October.

His uncles family lived here. Once the money was in hand, his entire demeanor changed, even switching to smoking Zhonghua cigarettes and talking about buying a Mercedes.

But later, he never got the Mercedes. Instead, his two sons started fighting over the money. The younger son, about to marry a new bride, wanted half, and the older son, marrying someone elses bride, also demanded half.

At that time, both of them had come to blows. The younger one accused the older, Youre marrying a second-hand wife and still want half, is that reasonable?

The older brother, infuriated, retorted, Im marrying a big one and even bringing in a small one, arent I better than you?!

Thinking about it.

Jiang Qin looked at the old community and couldnt help but drool.

But now there was a serious problem: he had no money.

What money could a student who just finished the college entrance exams have? Maybe enough for an ice cream, but certainly not for buying a house.

Jiang Qin felt a tinge of regret, feeling as if countless little money slipped past him, vanishing without a trace.

He indeed didnt have the ability to gather a significant initial capital in a short time, so his options were limited.

Buying houses or land was unrealistic, and he didnt have the capital for stock market investments.

This is the downside of not having a system. Even if you have many great ideas in your head, without money, its hard to take the first step.

Is my rebirth just for show?

Just then, Jiang Qin suddenly saw a bus stopping by the road ahead. Chu Siqi got off the bus, her floral dress fluttering in the wind.

She saw Jiang Qin as soon as she got off, surprised. She then huffed as she lifted her head, seemingly waiting for something.

Unexpectedly for her, Jiang Qin merely nodded politely, gazed wistfully once more at the community across the street, and then rode away from the street.

The breeze lifted a corner of her skirt. Under the bus stop sign, only endless astonishment and confusion remained.
