Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 277 - 120: Xiaoxian, Don’t Tell Me You Like Senior Too?

At this moment, Huang Panpan's gaze drifted over.

Lu Haoran quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet her eyes.

The young junior looked at the honest guy a few times, feeling puzzled inside.

The more she looked at the senior's good friend, the more dazed he seemed, like someone who can't say a word after thinking for a long time. Can a guy like this really find a girlfriend at university?

Su Zelin briefly introduced both sides, and Huang Panpan couldn't resist asking, "Senior Lu, which university did you attend?"

She thought the only possibility for an honest guy to quickly find a girlfriend and get dumped as soon as he started school would be attending a university with a high female-to-male ratio, where guys are as precious as pandas, such as some foreign language or teachers' universities.

"The Polytechnic within the province!"

Lu Haoran replied truthfully.

"Polytechnic?"

Huang Panpan was instantly dumbfounded.

Isn't that a school where female students are pitifully few?

If it were the senior, it wouldn't be surprising for him to find a girlfriend at the Polytechnic in his freshman year.

But for his friend, that's a miracle of the New Era!

Oh right, the senior only mentioned that his good friend got dumped, not whether he broke up with a girl or a guy.

It's likely that the other party was a guy!

That's definitely it!

In a place like the Polytechnic, guys pairing up isn't unusual.

Even guys don't want him; that really is quite pitiable.

Thinking of this, the young junior couldn't help but feel a bit more understanding.

She initially resented this person for ruining her date with the senior, but she quickly let it go.

Lu Haoran felt a bit uneasy.

He kept feeling that the young junior's gaze was rather odd.

How should he put it, it seemed mixed with sympathy and pity.

But aside from being a bit poor, Lu Haoran felt there wasn't much about him worth pitying.

Wei Xian also glanced at Su Zelin intentionally or unintentionally.

She had seen Su Zelin a few times at Secondary School No. 2, though usually by chance on campus or accompanying Huang Panpan to watch his games.

Sitting together and having drinks like this was indeed the first time.

This Senior Su was indeed ruggedly handsome, with an inexplicable charm beyond the pure good looks some boys have.

He somewhat resembled the new generation idol from Xiangjiang, Huang Zongze, that she and Huang Panpan had previously discussed. Even when playing a bad boy in a drama, he won great audience favor and popularity; very hard to dislike or hate.

His hairstyle and attire were trendy, not as outdated as ordinary students.

If he didn't smoke or fight and had slightly better grades, he could be considered the top guy at Secondary School No. 2.

Just because he had a pleasing face, Panpan fell head over heels for him from the first year to the third, even changing herself completely for him, which Wei Xian couldn't understand.

At least she wouldn't become infatuated just because a guy had good looks; character and other qualities are still very important.

For a moment, each person harbored their own thoughts.

Su Zelin coughed lightly, "Why don't we order something first, what do you guys want to drink?"

"I want wheat flavor!"

Wei Xian was the first to order.

"I'll go with red bean!"

Lu Haoran followed closely behind.

"Panpan, what about you?"

Su Zelin asked again.

"I'll have the same as the senior!"

Huang Panpan had asked Su Zelin what milk tea he liked to drink, yet he said he didn't have a fixed preference, so the young junior simply followed suit in the most direct way.

Wei Xian was speechless listening to this.

Even when drinking milk tea, you have to match with Senior Su.

You must be really into him, like a diehard fan...

"Alright, so one wheat flavor and one red bean each, and two Thai milk teas!"

Lu Haoran thought to himself that Xiaoyanzi's zodiac sign theory was really spot on. He and Su Zelin had drunk milk tea numerous times, yet he had never seen his buddy order the same milk tea, always choosing something new every time.

However, when it comes to soda, he only drinks Beibingyang and nothing else.

So Gemini is really strange; if you say he's loyal, he wants to try everything; if you say he's fickle, sometimes he's actually quite nostalgic.

The honest guy is different, it's either red bean or taro, cycling through the two or three most common flavors at milk tea shops.

Besides milk tea, Su Zelin also ordered a few snacks.

Pistachios, sunflower seeds, and cold mixed cucumbers.

Even though it's winter break, there aren't many people at the milk tea shop during winter.

After a short while, the waiter brought over a few cups of milk tea.

Everyone chatted while sipping their milk tea.

During this time, Wei Xian noticed another trait of Su Zelin aside from his face—his mouth!

This Senior Su had an eloquent mouth, always stirring up conversation, knowledgeable and articulate, the kind that can really talk.

Simply put, he was excellent at boasting.

No matter what the topic, he could always connect with you, and he always managed to say something witty and interesting.

However, his boasting style was different from others who just babble on endlessly.

Actually, he didn't talk much, occasionally interjecting, but he always went straight to the point with piercing insights.

It was hard to ignore him, and his strong presence was in stark contrast to the other senior, Lu Haoran, next to him.

Wherever he was, the place would never be dull.

Being able to boast was also a skill that reflected his excellent eloquence and inner confidence. Someone like Su Zelin, who could boast about everything from history to current affairs, needed a broad and profound knowledge base. Otherwise, it would be dull and tasteless.

Wei Xian just couldn't understand it.

This Senior Su was pretty lazy with his studies, but he astonishingly knew so much beyond the textbooks.

No wonder when Su was chatting with Panpan, he could effortlessly switch topics to satellite launches, life sciences, new missiles, road and bridge construction...

Now that she thought about it, it's not easy. Without sufficient depth, not everyone could switch topics this seamlessly.

Chatting like this in the milk tea café, time flew by, and soon it was ten o'clock.

Wei Xian originally thought being a third wheel would be unbearable, but time passed especially quickly.

Now she somewhat understood why her deskmate was infatuated with Su Zelin, even to the point of admiration.

A guy who looks roguishly handsome generally doesn't have bad luck with girls. Add in the fact that he's great at boasting, and his charm to girls becomes even greater.

But this was exactly what Wei Xian was worried about.

This kind of guy would attract a lot of attention.

If Panpan really got together with him, she might end up getting hurt.

"Panpan, Wei Xian, it's getting late, and there are a lot of people and commotion outside during this time of the year. Recently, there have been gangs targeting girls for robbery. It's not safe to stay out too late, you should head back early."

"It's only ten o'clock, it's still early. Why not stay a bit longer!"

Huang Panpan was a bit reluctant.

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should consider Wei Xian. Staying out so late might worry her parents."

Su Zelin brought up the topic of her friend's parents, leaving the junior girl with no choice but to say, "Alright then, senior, we'll meet up another day!"

"I won't be free for the next few days. Didn't I tell you before? I've got reunions with my middle school classmates, elementary school classmates, and even kindergarten classmates lined up. Besides that, I need to visit my hometown, so it'll have to wait until after the New Year!"

Su Zelin was still making excuses.

Wei Xian was speechless.

Kindergarten reunions too? Do you even remember the people you went to kindergarten with?

That excuse is just ridiculous!

"Then during the day!"

Huang Panpan was persistent.

"Let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later..."

Su Zelin could only stall with a procrastination tactic.

The slacker went to pay the bill, while Huang Panpan and Wei Xian waited outside.

"So, Xiaoxian, isn't the senior amazing and such a nice person?"

The junior girl asked with a smile.

She could see that tonight her good friend had changed her opinion of Su Zelin.

"Okay, I admit that Senior Su is indeed different from what I imagined. He's not as aloof as I thought, especially since he's quite good at talking, but..."

Wei Xian's tone changed: "Panpan, there are some things I have to say, even if you might not like it!"

"Alright, go ahead!"

"Guys like Senior Su will probably have many girls liking them, so if you really became his girlfriend, you might have a lot to worry about in the future!"

Wei Xian cautiously advised.

"Oh, I thought it was something serious!" Huang Panpan pouted, dismissing it: "Isn't it normal for an excellent person like the senior to be liked by many girls? Not to mention, didn't Senior Qin Shiqing also get attracted to him? I can't control that stuff. As long as the senior likes me the most, that's all that matters!"

Wei Xian: "..."

You really have a big heart, being able to put up with that.

Huang Panpan said warily: "Xiaoxian, you wouldn't also fall for the senior, would you? That can't happen. I can ignore other women around the senior, but you are my best friend, and I don't want our relationship to break because of this!"

Wei Xian was embarrassed: "You can be rest assured, I can swear it, there's absolutely no such thing!"

What's this even about? I just had a cup of milk tea with Senior Su because you asked me to tag along, and now it turns into me liking him.

No matter how great Senior Su is, he's not my type. Do you think everyone is as hopelessly infatuated as you are!
