Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Liuu Wanyin: "..."

It sounds logical, but somehow feels a bit off.

Maybe I’m just overthinking it.

...

With the small peak of device configuration and the stimulation from New Year promotions, sure enough, the digital store was immediately flooded with customers as soon as it opened.

Some came to pick up computers, some for inquiries, some to buy MP3 players and other accessories, and even some were just here to try their luck at the lottery. After all, anyone visiting today qualifies for the lottery, without even needing to make a purchase.

Not only inside the store, but there are also stalls set up outside.

The advantage of this location not being a prime commercial area was evident.

Nobody managed the impromptu stalls on the open spaces around the digital store, as long as it wasn’t too excessive.

Even people from far away along the campus path could see the lively scene here at a glance.

With outdoor space, it’s easier to make things exciting.

A comical live-action cartoon mascot wandered around creating a scene, occasionally falling over and causing laughter all around.

The mascot of New Era, Xiaoxin.

In this day and age, stores with mascots are rare, let alone a digital store. It’s quite innovative.

Busy both inside and outside the store, but everything is orderly.

Store manager Liuu Wanyin is meticulous, the old employees are capable, the new employees aren’t panicking, and the store’s order and operations are smooth.

Su Zelin lingered for a while, feeling confident that things wouldn’t go wrong, so he left relieved.

The busy ones today aren’t just the Finance College store but also the Zhejiang University store, especially the three newly opened branches which were the major focus.

The branch employees were experiencing New Year’s Day promotions for the first time, not only dealing with a large number of guests but also expecting visits from newspapers and TV stations, making it extremely busy.

The good news is with Brother Xiao Yang’s joining, his team has several capable subordinates. They’re experienced and efficient, and Brother Xiao Yang and Kang Baohong are overseeing one branch each, so handling things won’t be a problem.

Su Zelin first headed to the University of Technology branch, which is one of three universities in Lin’an with considerable numbers, but the University of Technology has the most people, the largest market, and it’s where Brother Xiao Yang is stationed. The media interview main event is here today.

Upon arrival, he saw Brother Xiao Yang in a suit, smiling as he accepted interviews from reporters armed with cameras, while TV station personnel were filming, surrounded by onlookers, and the popularity rivaled the Finance College store.

He watched the interview amid the crowd until the newspaper and TV station reporters left.

Su Zelin’s mouth curled into a slight smile.

This wave is really taking New Era out of the circle, not just hyping it within the campus.

"Zelin!"

A familiar male voice reached his ears, and upon looking, it was Lu Haoran, with Tang Yan following behind.

What a coincidence, bumping into a good buddy!

However, today’s official opening event at the University of Technology branch, with a big activity ongoing and TV personnel present, it’s only natural for honest people to come and join the fun.

"Why are you here? Didn’t you say promotions today would be busy?"

Xiaoyanzi asked curiously.

"I came to adjust some stock."

Su Zelin found a random excuse, his gaze falling on the honest person and Xiaoyanzi, shifting back and forth, and asked with a smirk: "Xiaoyanzi, I wanted to ask why you’re at the University of Technology; are you and the mouse secretly building a bridge while hiding in plain sight?"

"What secretive work! No way!"

Xiaoyanzi’s face turned red instantly, and she denied it: "Can’t I just come over for fun?"

Lu Haoran smiled shyly, neither confirming nor denying.

The honest fellow was in a good mood.

Previously, he always had to run to the Normal University to find Tang Yan.

However, today Xiaoyanzi unexpectedly took the initiative to come find him.

Lu Haoran was surprised to hear she was coming to the University of Technology, hardly believing his ears.

Is Xiaoyanzi my girlfriend?

Hmm, maybe not yet; she hasn’t admitted it.

But things are pretty good as they are now.

The honest guy isn’t like some other guys who think about that thing once involved with a girl; he’s content with spiritual connection, mainly seeking mental happiness.

Xiaoyanzi saw this and pinched him hard, punishing him for not covering up for her.

"Hehe, little guy can do it, the future looks promising! Which base?"

Su Zelin nudged his good buddy’s shoulder, smiling ambiguously.

In the eyes of an idler, it’s obvious that Tang Yan is acting suspiciously, and their interaction seems more intimate.

Previously, Xiaoyanzi would have never pinched the mouse.

It’s a detail showing a significant breakthrough in their relationship.

"What base, you guys only think about such things, dirty!"

Tang Yan glared with big eyes, staring angrily.

First base!

The honest person really wanted to share this good news with Su Zelin, but dared only say it in his heart.

Because Xiaoyanzi warned him not to spread it, especially not to tell Su Zelin, as this guy would surely tease him.

Not long ago on Christmas Eve, Lu Haoran mustered the courage to hold Tang Yan’s hand, having prepared himself mentally to be shaken off or even slapped at worst.

Unexpectedly, the always fierce Xiaoyanzi didn’t struggle, and a few days later, she actively came to find him, seeming a bit more gentle.

It seems Su Zelin’s advice on pursuing girls was really spot-on.

Be bold, meticulous, and thick-skinned!

This lifetime of Lu Haoran, he is no longer the honest guy he was in the previous life.

First, experiencing the baptism of following the idler to mysterious websites early, then encouraging the cute one to actively participate in extracurricular activities in college, made him bolder. The honest guy isn’t as honest anymore.

In the past life, he wouldn’t have dared do such a audacious thing even on Christmas Eve.

Although a good buddy didn’t reveal it, he couldn’t hide from the idler’s sharp eyes.

At least a first base, and without surprise, it’s probably temporarily just a first base!

Xiaoyanzi reacted so intensely, it’s impossible that she and the good buddy haven’t had any intimate contact.

Su Zelin thought to himself.

Goodness, even the mouse went silently to first base with Xiaoyanzi.

If things keep progressing like this, damn, the mouse might end up eating meat before me...
