After rebirth, I only date bad girls

Chapter 166 The Biggest Meets the Smallest
Liang Can thought Zhuang Zhichao's office was a truly auspicious place.

Before, when I came here, I had to bring some cigarettes and alcohol as a token of my respect. But ever since "Campus Diary" became popular, Liang Can has been taking the cigarettes and alcohol from Chao Zi.

We need to smooth things over with both sides; it's such a waste to always have to pay for gifts ourselves.

Anyway, Chaozi has money, so he'll take advantage of any opportunity to freeload.

What makes Liang Can most happy is that occasionally running the Chaozi office instance always yields some unexpected rewards.

For example, the cute raccoon dog.

'Every time I see a raccoon dog, I can't control the weird uncle personality inside me,' Liang Can thought to himself.

You can't blame Cancan for this; Tanuki is just too easily amused.

She blushes whenever you tease her.

That blush will spread; who do you think invented this thing?

"Are you here today to bring snacks to Chaozi too?" Liang Can asked.

Lili nodded slightly: "Yes, I just got off my tutoring class and went to the supermarket to buy some food. I'll bring it to my brother on the way."

Liang Can asked with a smile, "So, have you missed me lately?"

Tanuki: "."

How could I possibly say that? Even if I wanted to, I'd be too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Seeing Lili's dilemma, Liang Can burst into laughter.

That really satisfied my perverse sense of humor.

The sound of flushing water came from inside the bathroom.

Zhuang Zhichao strolled out leisurely while fastening the belt of his casual pants, and saw Liang Can and his younger sister sitting on a sofa.

"Why are you here?" Zhuang Zhichao immediately pulled up a chair. "Liang Can, sit here."

Liang Can glanced at the chair and shook his head, politely declining: "My butt has been hurting lately, so I can only sit on soft sofas. I can't sit on this kind of hard stool."

Does your butt hurt?
What did you do that made your butt hurt?

Zhuang Zhichao glanced at Liang Can, then said gently to Lili, "Sis, come sit here."

As he spoke, Chaozi patted the stool.

Lili blinked her eyes and whispered, "I sat on the hard bench for too long in the tutoring class, and my butt hurts. I want to sit on the sofa too."

Chaozi: “.”

So you just won't break up, right?

It seems like there's something going on between you two.

Zhuang Zhichao pondered for a moment, then simply sat down between Liang Can and Lili, and then laughed heartily: "That way there won't be any problem."

Liang Can thought to himself, "You're really annoying."

"Liang Can, what brings you to my office?" Zhuang Zhichao asked with a smile.

“Oh, it’s like this, Teacher Zhuang, I have some good news to share with you.” Liang Can puffed out his chest, “The startup park just called and asked me to send over the APP proposal as soon as possible. They’re having a meeting to discuss it, and if everything goes well, I can get a large sum of money.”

"Really!?" Zhuang Zhichao's eyes lit up.

Liang Can nodded: "Absolutely true."

Zhuang Zhichao was extremely excited. At this moment, Liang Can was no longer a person in his eyes, but a work achievement, a damn huge achievement.

I, Zhuang Zhichao, have personally nurtured a role model who has successfully started a business while still in school!
Damn it, Ye Hanyang, I'll take your place sooner or later.

Chaozi jumped up excitedly and asked, "Then what are you still doing here? Hurry up and send the proposal over!"

"Teacher, are you confused?"

What did you say about me??

Liang Can cleared his throat and said calmly, "I have at least a dozen or twenty people under me now. Do I need to do this kind of errand-running myself? My underlings have already delivered the things over at top speed."

"Brother Liang Can, you're amazing!" Lili, wearing white knee-high stockings, was genuinely happy for Liang Can and clapped her hands lightly.

Liang Can beamed with joy; the admiration from the beautiful girl was a major driving force for him to stride forward.

“Come on, give five!” Liang Can raised his hand to Lili.

After hesitating for a moment, Lili also raised her fair little hand and gave Liang Can a high five.

Pop, pop, pop.

Several times in a row.

Zhuang Zhichao stepped forward with a chuckle: "Alright, alright, that's enough. I think you still want to hold hands!"

Don't be so formal. If you weren't here, I would have already been holding your hand.

Seeing Zhuang Zhichao stop her from sharing her joy with Lili, Liang Can looked at him and said, "Director, if you keep doing this, I'm going to change my major."

Zhuang Zhichao: “.”

Dude, are you threatening me?
However, since Chaozi did not agree to Liang Can shaking hands with Lili, Liang Can did not force him.

He stood up and said to Zhuang Zhichao, "Teacher, now that the good news has been shared, I'll be leaving now."

Seeing that Liang Can was about to leave, Zhuang Zhichao immediately beamed and stood up as well: "Okay, okay, teacher will see you to the door."

"No need."

“It’s very necessary. I’m sure you’ve noticed that your teacher’s intention to see you off is very sincere.”

Liang Can glanced at Zhuang Zhichao and nodded in agreement: "That's true."

After seeing Liang Can off, Zhuang Zhichao returned to his office and clapped his hands excitedly: "Great! I didn't expect Liang Can to be so promising. I have to tell my uncle this news right away!"

Just then, Chaozi's phone rang; it was a work call.

"Sis, I'm off to work now, wait for me!" After finishing the phone call, Zhuang Zhichao tucked his laptop under his arm and rushed out the door.

He was beaming with joy, his face beaming with happiness.

Lili sat on the sofa for a while, then got a little bored, so she picked up her backpack and prepared to go home.

'My brother is really something. Why can't I just let Brother Liang Can keep me company?' she thought to herself, feeling a little disappointed as she walked out of the office.

Just as I reached the corner and was about to go downstairs, a voice suddenly came.

"Your brother is gone?"

The sea otter looked up and saw Liang Can leaning against the wall, smiling at it.

"Brother Liang Can!" Lili exclaimed in surprise, "You didn't leave?"

Liang Can snapped his fingers: "It's a tactic to cover things up. The more your brother tells me not to play with you, the more I'll insist on playing with you. I'm a very rebellious person."

After listening to Liang Can's words, Lili understood.

Brother Liang Can is here waiting for me, Lili thought happily to herself.

"I waited for you here specifically because I care about your studies."

Liang Can said in a serious tone, "When I visited Dean Ye last time, he said that your family had already planned your future development, and that you would apply to a prestigious foreign university for your undergraduate studies, right?"

Oh no, Liang Can found out.

Lili felt inexplicably flustered and could only tell the truth: "Well, actually, we should start preparing the application materials now. Before, I participated in a lot of extracurricular activities to enrich my resume in order to study abroad."

This is the difference between people. Zhuang Chenjin comes from a scholarly family, with learned and wealthy parents and an uncle who is the dean of a hospital.

As a high school student, she was able to attend various high-level academic conferences, have outstanding young scholars sit down and discuss with her, and visit and learn from laboratories where academicians were present.

Because Lili has a good father and a good mother.

"Then why don't you want to go abroad anymore? After all, you've already put in so much effort for it," Liang Can said.

Lili pursed her lips, her legs unconsciously tightening slightly. After hesitating for a long time, she whispered, "I... I want to stay with my mom and dad and keep them company."

Upon hearing this, Liang Can couldn't help but frown.

Where have I heard this kind of rhetoric before?
Oh right, a certain Miss Sheng also said she wanted to stay with her mother, which is why she didn't go abroad.

Liang Can looked at Lili and thought to himself, "You guys really do use the same reasons."

"Was this a decision you made after careful consideration?" Liang Can asked.

Lili's little face was tense, and her toes in her little leather shoes clicked slightly.

"kindness!"

The pretty young woman struggled to lift her head and meet Liang Can's gaze: "I've thought it over carefully. I like staying in China, and I want to study at Zhejiang University."

I find the truest things in the moment before words are spoken, and the best time to meet someone is when you are about to see them.

For Lili, Liang Can was like a thunderclap in the sky, a stunningly handsome man making a dazzling entrance. Amidst her heavy studies and the daily grind of classes, exams, and tutoring, Liang Can fulfilled all of Lili's fantasies about a bright future.

He is sunny and enthusiastic, and he is exceptionally capable. He absorbs his career and academic pursuits in the free university campus, becoming the most dazzling presence among his peers.

'To be honest, if I were in your shoes, I would also fall in love with myself,' Liang Can thought to himself.

"Then I won't try to persuade you anymore."

Liang Can smiled and said to Lili, "I respect and support your decision."

"I hope that after you get into Zhejiang University, you won't look down on me, your good older brother from a non-elite university."

The raccoon said shyly, "No way! Why would I look down on you? You're the best!"

The two slowly descended the stairs. Liang Can walked in front, then suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lili, who was two steps taller than him.

At this moment, the golden sunlight of late autumn shines on the two of them, creating a scene reminiscent of a youth campus idol drama.

"Were you worried that I would persuade you to go abroad?" Liang Can asked with a smile.

Lili's fair and delicate face was slightly flushed by the sunlight. She gently clutched the hem of her skirt and nodded in acknowledgment, "Yes, I was worried."

"I won't."

Liang Can shook his head: "Because I had a very similar question before, and I told her, do whatever you want to do. All the efforts people make in life are for the sake of happiness."

All the efforts people make in life are ultimately for the sake of happiness.

Lili pondered the words carefully, then gave Liang Can a bright smile: "After making this decision, thinking about the days to come, I can't help but feel happy and joyful."

"That's wonderful!" Liang Can said with a grin.

After going downstairs, Lili, carrying her schoolbag, quickened her pace to catch up with Liang Can.

She glanced at Liang Can furtively, took a deep breath, and mustered her courage to ask, "Um, Brother Liang Can, do you have something important to do later?"

"No."

"Then, I'll treat you to a meal."

Liang Can looked at Lili with some surprise and repeated her words: "You're going to treat me to dinner?"

"kindness!"

Lili nodded, a hint of longing flashing across her face: "I've wanted to have dinner with you for a long time."

Eating your favorite food with someone you love must be the happiest thing in the world.

To be honest, Liang Can felt a little guilty.

You're so young, your task right now is to study hard.

But you're telling me that as long as you're not hungover on the day of the college entrance exam, you can get into Zhejiang University by writing the exam paper with your left hand?

Well, there's no other way, I have to go and eat this meal.

The main thing is that it saved me the cost of a meal; otherwise, there's nothing special about it.

Liang Can is no longer alone. He has so many employees in his studio to support, and he also has to take care of Sheng Shuyi, Wen Xiying, and Xue Fu on a daily basis, which is very expensive.

Since the girls' high school is willing to treat me to a meal, why be so coy?

eat!
"Let's go, come with me to the parking lot, we'll drive there." Liang Can took out his car keys.

When Lili saw that Liang Can had agreed, she immediately beamed with joy.

The little girl's emotions were always written on her face.

“If you want to apply to Zhejiang University, I’ll invite a sister who also graduated from Zhejiang University to tell you about their campus life,” Liang Can said to Lili as they walked.

Upon hearing this, Lili immediately blurted out, "Is it that doctor who gave a health lecture at Hangzhou Dianzi University before?"

Liang Can looked at Lili with some surprise: "You know her?"

It turns out that Lili knows about Xue Fu.

Lili nodded: "Yes, I watched every single episode of the Campus Diary videos. That doctor sister is very outstanding and beautiful."

After a pause, Lili asked tentatively, "Brother Liang Can, are you and that doctor sister very close?"

"Great."

Liang Can replied without hesitation, "It's absolutely amazing."

"Yes, is that so?" The smile on Lili's face gradually faded, and she looked preoccupied.

Liang Can described his behavior as: open and honest.

As soon as they arrived at the parking lot near the administration building, Liang Can pressed the car key, and the headlights of a white A7 in the distance lit up.

"Hey, Xuanxuan's car is parked next to mine, what a coincidence." Liang Can saw that Peng Chenxuan's car was parked right next to his A7.

Opening the car door, Liang Canchong said to Lili, "Come on, get in the car."

"Ok."

Just as Lili responded, two young women came down from the administration building, chatting and laughing. The two women had very different styles, and one of them had top-notch looks and temperament.

Liang Can is the kind of person with a top-tier talent who, as long as there are beautiful women around, he can sense them even before he sees them with his own eyes.

Upon hearing a soft laugh, Liang Can immediately turned his head to look.

"Holy crap, why is Xue Fu here? The date wasn't today!" Liang Can exclaimed inwardly.

However, he quickly calmed down and, seeing Xue Fu chatting and laughing with Peng Chenxuan as they approached, Liang Can roughly guessed the conclusion.

Fufu must have come today specifically to find Peng Chenxuan for a date after get off work, not to check up on her.

After glancing at Lili and then at Xue Fu who was getting closer, Liang Can immediately made up his mind.

run?
Only those with a guilty conscience run away.

Me and Lili are perfectly legitimate.

So Liang Can immediately raised his hand and waved, calling out loudly, "Hey, Fufu!"

This "Fufu" startled Xue Fu, who hadn't noticed Liang Can.

To be honest, compared to Liang Can's unbridled behavior, Xue Fu was more worried about outsiders discovering her special relationship with Liang Can in public.

It wasn't that Xue Fu didn't like Liang Can enough, but rather that she wasn't mentally prepared.

Age gap is a boring thing, but it's also the easiest thing to talk about.

Upon seeing Liang Can, Xue Fu was first surprised, then somewhat delighted, and then quickly put her finger to her lips, anxiously telling him to shut up.

Being called by a nickname by Liang Can in public made me happy, but also quite shy!

Meanwhile, Lili, sitting next to the passenger seat, saw that Liang Can was not only happy to see Xue Fu, but also called her so affectionately. Her little hand, which was originally holding the car door handle, subconsciously let go.

"Why did you suddenly appear?" Xue Fu walked over and asked Liang Can, looking him up and down.

Liang Can put one hand on her hip and retorted, "I was just about to ask you that, why didn't you tell me you were coming to school?"

Xue Fu waved her hand: "I came to see Xuanxuan. We made plans to have dinner together and then go for a spa."

"Isn't spa treatment a man's activity?"

We're not talking about the same thing.

Okay, maybe our spas are really different from yours.

Liang Can smiled, glanced at the silent Lili, and took the initiative to introduce, "Lili, this is Xue Fu, Dr. Xue, and this is Peng Chenxuan, the deputy secretary of our college's Youth League Committee."

Leaning closer to the raccoon dog, Liang Can whispered, "Your brother tried to woo her, but he didn't succeed."

Lili glanced at Peng Chenxuan curiously, then nodded: "It's normal if you can't win her over."

"Oh my, this little girl is so interesting!"

Peng Chenxuan became interested and, looking at the exquisitely beautiful raccoon, asked Liang Can, "Who is this?"

Liang Can: "Her name is Zhuang Chenjin, and she is Zhuang Zhichao's younger sister."

Xue Fu: “.”

Peng Chenxuan: "."

Xue Fu had met Zhuang Zhichao before, and she couldn't understand how the same mother could give birth to completely different siblings.

Peng Chenxuan was also extremely shocked: "She's Zhuang Zhichao's younger sister?"

"Yup!"

"Then, how did you two end up together?"

Xue Fu looked at Liang Can and asked curiously.
