Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Chapter 698: Chapter 251: Shenghai Journey, Su Zelin’s Divine Assist_3

Returning to the office, she grabbed the luggage bag she had prepared and hurried towards the school gate.

If nothing unexpected happened, Su Zelin and Lu Haoran should already be waiting for her outside the school.

Everywhere she looked were young, vibrant faces, giving her a sense of familiarity and making her steps feel much lighter.

Many people didn’t understand why Tang Yan wanted to be a teacher, but it was because she deeply loved the youthful atmosphere of a campus.

Her typically short temper would miraculously vanish in the presence of students, leaving only love and patience.

This was also why Su Zelin was trying so hard to matchmake Xiaoyanzi with his good buddy.

Tang Yan might be strong-willed, but overall, she was a decent woman.

If she were as explosive as a powder keg, a rascal wouldn’t push his buddy into the fire pit.

Walking out of the No. 4 High School gate, she spotted the black Passat parked by the roadside not far away.

Xiaoyanzi walked over, opened the door, and sat in the back seat.

"Sorry, after the trial lecture, the students were too enthusiastic. I chatted with them for a while before leaving, which made you wait a long time."

In the front, Su Zelin turned around: "Xiaoyanzi, what did you say?"

"After the trial lecture, the students were too enthusiastic. I chatted with them for a while before leaving, which made you wait a long time."

Tang Yan thought maybe the traffic noise on the street was too loud, and Su Zelin didn’t hear clearly, so she repeated herself.

"The sentence before that!"

"The sentence before that?" Xiaoyanzi paused slightly: "Sorry?"

"Wow, did I hear that right? You actually apologized to me. Has the sun risen from the west?"

Su Zelin exaggeratedly shouted.

"Su Zelin, listen to yourself. It’s like I’m someone who doesn’t know manners!"

Tang Yan snorted.

Fearing the two would start bickering again, Lu Haoran quickly changed the subject, half-jokingly saying, "Ms. Yan, it seems your trial lecture went well."

"What Ms. Yan, you’re not my student!"

Xiaoyanzi rolled her eyes at her boyfriend, though she quite enjoyed the title.

Moreover, Lu Haoran was concerned about her trial lecture, which was very important to her, and that was very considerate.

She then boasted, "If the trial lecture was worth 100, I’d give myself a 90. You probably can’t imagine how popular I am at No. 4. All the students like me, the observers thought I was great at engaging the class, and the school needs energetic teachers like me. Looks like my stay is promising!"

"That’s great, Xiaoyanzi, congratulations!"

Lu Haoran was genuinely happy for her.

Xiaoyanzi didn’t have any lofty ambitions; her dream was to be a good teacher.

The Passat started.

The couple initially chatted about Xiaoyanzi’s internship, but once on the highway, the tone changed to affectionate exchanges and light flirtation, with even some little moves.

The honest guy wasn’t so honest anymore, occasionally sneaking a kiss on his girlfriend, making Xiaoyanzi blush like a little girl.

If Tang Yan’s character turning point was the internship, then Lu Haoran’s was the image makeover, making the honest guy more confident, sometimes even joking with familiar people, which was unimaginable for an introverted, shy boy in high school.

The honest guy from before wouldn’t dare have fun in the car, he’d just stick to being well-behaved.

Of course, the new look was just a turning point; more importantly, it was the growth and experience from actively participating in extracurricular activities at university.

Xiaoyanzi preferred him this way.

Lu Haoran was good before, just lacked a bit of fun.

However, this level was just right, wouldn’t want him to turn into someone like Su Zelin.

Men too fun to be around aren’t necessarily good, because they attract many girls.

The two flirting openly in the car caught the rascal’s eye.

He adjusted the rearview mirror and handed a roll of tissue from the Passat’s storage compartment to the back: "Here, I think you’ll need this now."

"Pfft, Su Zelin, do you think we’re as shameless as you!"

Xiaoyanzi spat, but didn’t dare get involved with the honest guy any further.

"Zelin, we were just chatting."

Lu Haoran quickly tried denying it unconvincingly.

"Alright, I get it, gentlemen talk, not act!"

Su Zelin implied something deeper.

He had just seen through the rearview that the honest guy had stolen three kisses from Xiaoyanzi.

"So what if you’ve met the parents? Can you not flaunt your romance in front of me? Have you considered my feelings as the third wheel?"

The rascal began his rant mode, firing off three questions.

"Yes, meeting the parents is indeed a big deal, what can you do about it?"

Xiaoyanzi raised an eyebrow.

"Ha, why don’t you guys share a room tonight if you dare!"

The rascal used reverse psychology.

"You..."

This person was so shameless, Xiaoyanzi didn’t know how to respond.

The honest guy was a bit embarrassed.

Zelin, really, how could you make such a reasonable suggestion?

"Didn’t you say meeting the parents is a big deal? Just this?"

The rascal shook his head with disdain.

"I can book you the best hotel in Shenghai, doubt you would dare, Xiaoyanzi, I’ve seen through you. You just have a tough mouth!"

The rascal’s cheeky tone was annoying, and Xiaoyanzi was provoked, blurting out: "Who says I wouldn’t dare!"

"Oh ho, you said it!"

Su Zelin’s lips curled into a mischievous smile.

According to him, although Xiaoyanzi and Lu Haoran had long confirmed their relationship, they hadn’t taken the ultimate step yet, only reaching second base, with no home runs.

The emperor isn’t in a hurry, but the eunuch is anxious, so he feels the need to assist his good buddy. Taking this trip to Shenghai as an opportunity, he wonders if he can help the honest guy become a true man.
