Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

TL: Etude Translations

The beginning of the story is an inner monologue of a little rich lady, describing her zero social skills and her longing and yearning for friendship.

Adolescence is an inherently extroverted stage of life, and precious friendships are like sparkling gems. No girl dislikes gems, just as no one wants to live in a world alone forever.

But for something completely unfamiliar and even somewhat feared, few can successfully take the first step.

The timid girl thus always secretly hoped for a big, good friend to fall from the sky, someone who would like her and be kind to her.

That year, in the midst of a buzzing summer filled with cicada songs, due to the end of the college entrance exams, the cool but timid celestial beauty completely left the school and started living a more monotonous and lonely life, only immersing herself in the library to read about others’ adventures.

She envied the magical-eyed girl Peggy Sue, who had a loyal blue dog as a companion, friends who could turn into sand, and the courage to travel across various galaxies.

She didn’t want so much; she just wanted one good friend, someone to take her to the small commodity city her classmates had been to, for just one adventure, and she would be satisfied.

This wish continued until one scorching noon, when she was reading the third volume of the magical-eyed girl’s story and suddenly felt someone watching her. She turned her head in confusion and unexpectedly made eye contact with an “ordinary-looking” boy.

[A bit panicked, seems like a classmate, better pretend I didn’t see.]

The girl silently lifted her book to cover her face, thinking this was the end of the story, but unexpectedly, the boy sat down opposite her.

After finishing the first chapter, Jiang Qin silently turned his head to look at the little rich lady eating ice cream in his living room.

The next second, Feng Nanshu seemed to notice something, turned her head to look at him, thought for a moment, and then tightened her little face: “Can I have just one more, is that okay?”

“How many have you had?”

“This is the second one, but this one is in place of tomorrow’s. I won’t eat any tomorrow.”

Jiang Qin reluctantly agreed to her overdraft and turned his head to scroll the mouse, moving on to the second chapter.

This chapter was different from the first, as the sugar-loving Huihuizi started revealing the names of the male and female protagonists from this chapter. The female lead’s name was crudely chosen, called Feng Tianxian, and the male lead’s name was even more awesome, called Jiang Qin.

Mofo, this name must have been chosen with personal grudges, right, money-pinching Huihuizi?

Using my story to earn the support bonus from me, I didn’t expect you to have some skills, damn it.

And this isn’t even the worst part. If you’re using my story to make money, at least you should write according to the truth. How can you just make things up??

Feng Nanshu is indeed like a celestial girl. But am I just an ordinary-looking boy? This is not realistic at all!

Adaptation is not fabrication, dramatization is not fabrication!

Jiang Qin was so angry that his mouth was crooked, but he couldn’t resist continuing to scroll down to read.

Since the whole novel was written from the girl’s perspective, the content of the first chapter was somewhat unfamiliar to him, but from this chapter onwards, the story after the male lead sat down was all too familiar.

The celestial girl accidentally got kicked by the boy opposite her and received a bottle of drink. She then secretly considered the “ordinary-looking boy” as a friend, and the happiest thing every day was sharing snacks with him.

Surprisingly, she found that she always got the last piece and thought it was a coincidence, but later realized that the “ordinary-looking boy” always stopped eating when there was almost none left.

[He kind of spoils me.]

The celestial-like girl thought coldly, feeling a whoosh in her heart.

However, as the timeline progressed, the male lead’s life became busier and busier, and he worriedly asked the female lead if she would be lonely. She shook her head gently, saying she was already used to loneliness and had nothing to fear.

But it was only when the male lead really disappeared that she realized she couldn’t go back to her previous life anymore.

Yes, she missed him a bit.

“Good read, so addictive, please update more!”

“I think there’s something wrong with this story. How about this, send me the rest of the drafts, and I’ll check them for you.”

“The female lead is too cute, where can I find one like her?”

“Adapted from a true story? Damn, what did this beast do in his past life, save the Earth or what!”

“Bookmarked, please make sure I get diabetes!”

“The author’s conscience is so damn bad, can’t you save up ten or twenty chapters before publishing? There are only five chapters, and it cuts off halfway, how am I supposed to live?”

“Please, just one more chapter, I swear I’ll never touch this stuff again…”

Jiang Qin read all the comments below and then picked up the phone with a serious expression, calling Huihuizi, who would rather have her salary deducted for the sake of sugar.

Ordinary college students are usually bored during the summer vacation, and Gao Wenhui was no exception. Plus, not being able to see Feng Nanshu and Jiang Qin or get her favorite sugar fix, she could only pour all her energy into writing.

Today, the first five chapters of her book officially went online, causing an unprecedented stir.

She was excited, indeed. How could there be anyone in the world who didn’t like sugar? That would be so bizarre.

But deep down, she was a little timid, because she knew that Jiang Qin was most resistant to the idea of falling in love. Even though everyone could see that his friendship with Feng Nanshu had definitely gone sour, he still stubbornly claimed it was a new type of friendship!

Miss Gao felt that no matter what happened between them, Jiang Qin, with his stubbornness, would still say it was the manifestation of friendship taken to the extreme.

So, just the title of her book should be enough to infuriate Jiang Qin.

“Loving You in the Name of Friendship” essentially punctures all of Jiang’s pretenses, laying bare all the ambiguity under the sun. Damn, it’s thrilling.

However, when Huihuizi saw the caller ID, her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat, thinking she was done for. This must be him coming to reprimand her.

Without a doubt, Jiang Qin would ban her novel and even deduct her part-time wages for the next year. Perhaps after graduation, she really would have to work as a nanny in his house to pay off her debt.

The emotions he himself dared not admit were exposed nakedly by me for the whole internet to see. I’m really courting death.

As expected, when Huihuizi answered the call, a roar came from the other end, sounding almost cannibalistic.

“The serialized novel on the forum is written by you, right? Is this polite? Is this polite?!”

Gao Wenhui shrank her head in front of the computer: “No, it’s not polite, but it’s thrilling.”

Jiang Qin’s face darkened: “I’m informing you now, your wages for the next year are all deducted!”

“No!”

Gao Wenhui also got angry, thinking how unlucky she was that he found it just after she uploaded it: “Aren’t you a busy boss with endless tasks? Instead of doing business, how do you have time to read posts in the forum!”

Jiang Qin laughed coldly: “I’ve been doing market research for half a month, then ran back to Linchuan for a three-day seminar. I was just planning to rest at home when I saw the surprise you prepared for me!”

“If you’re resting at home, then sleep more. Why are you looking at the computer? Your eyes need rest too, you black-hearted capitalist.”

“Don’t change the subject. Hurry up and change the adjectives back, or I’ll delete your post and ban your account.”

“Change it back? Change what?”

Gao Wenhui was a bit confused when she heard the word ‘change’, thinking Jiang Qin wanted to delete her post.

“The male lead is described as ordinary-looking, you wrote this, right? Do you respect objective facts? Do you respect scientific principles? Your 0.0x vision?”

Gao Wenhui was stunned: “Are you angry about this?”

“What else? I’m the Daniel Wu of Jizhou, and you describe me so plain and ordinary. Don’t you feel guilty?” Jiang Qin’s voice was ferociously angry.

“If I change it, will you still delete my post?”

“If it’s changed, I won’t delete it. Zhihu is about to enter the promotion phase, we need good content to attract the audience. So far, your serialization seems quite effective.”

Gao Wenhui was surprised because Jiang Qin had always avoided anything to do with love, forbidding anyone to mention it. Could it be that he agreed because the story was good and captivating? Or is it that he’s not afraid of everyone knowing how much he likes Feng Nanshu?

Just then, Jiang Qin’s door was pushed open, revealing a stunning but serious face.

“Jiang Qin, I thought I heard another girl talking.”

“It’s Gao Wenhui.”

“Oh.”

Feng Nanshu showed a relieved expression and returned to the living room to continue watching her TV.

“Aren’t you resting at home? Why do I hear Feng Nanshu’s voice? Are you living together?” Gao Wenhui exclaimed over the phone.

“Nonsense, she’s just visiting my house.”

“What are you playing? Oh, I get it. Then I won’t disturb you. I don’t have a boyfriend, I can’t stand hearing those sounds!”

“?”

After hanging up, Jiang Qin cursed for a while, thinking that sugar addicts are really becoming more frightening, only hearing what they want to hear, right? But…

Jiang Qin didn’t expect that Feng Nanshu had such a dramatic side, with so much going on in her mind. Looking at the story from her perspective, it was quite interesting.

He casually grabbed the mouse, habitually refreshing the webpage a couple of times, and noticed the comments on the post were still increasing.

“Is this really adapted from a true story? How are the two protagonists now? A rich heiress and an ordinary boy, such combinations usually end badly. If that’s the case, I won’t read it. My heart is fragile, I can’t handle it.”

Author reply: “Don’t worry, the two of them are currently living together, and their relationship is very stable.”

AN: After finishing the wedding and driving for three hours on the highway, I slept like dead yesterday. Life is always full of surprises. Sorry, I really couldn’t hold on…
