After rebirth, I only date bad girls

Chapter 344 Qi Mingyue and Zhuang Chenjin

The campus bus slowly drove away.

Tanuki, carrying her schoolbag, thanked Qi Mingyue: "Thank you, classmate. If you hadn't called me, I would have missed my stop."

Qi Mingyue waved her hand, indicating that it was not worth mentioning.

"My name is Zhuang Chenjin, nice to meet you," Lili introduced herself.

Qi Mingyue also extended her hand: "My name is Qi Mingyue. I saw your name on Tieba during the summer vacation. You clearly had the score to study a good major at Tsinghua or Peking University, but you came to Zhejiang University instead. You are the one, right?"

The raccoon stuck out its tongue: "Yes, it's me."

The two, one elegant and the other charming, walked side by side toward the teaching building.

After a brief conversation, it was discovered that Qi Mingyue, who was half a head taller than Lili, was three months younger than Lili.

"I just noticed you were watching Liang Can's interview video, you were completely engrossed in it."

Qi Mingyue asked curiously, "Are you very interested in him?"

Lili, being rather naive, simply said, "I know Brother Liang Can."

Liang Can, brother?
Qi Mingyue thought to herself, "If I call Liang Can 'Uncle,' then Lili's seniority is quite high."

"So you two know each other."

"Yes, my older brother is Liang Can's counselor, my uncle is Liang Can's mentor, and he is the vice president of Hangzhou Dianzi University," Lili answered truthfully.

Qi Mingyue suddenly realized.

It seems that Lili and Liang Can have a very close relationship.

Thinking of this, Qi Mingyue became curious and wondered which of the three—Lili, Sheng Shuyi, and Wen Xiying—was closer.

I've discovered another girl who's close to Liang Can!

How many girls has he been involved with?
Qi Mingyue looked Fan Lili up and down and said sincerely, "Zhuang Chenjin, you are so cute, just like a high school girl in a comic book."

Lili was embarrassed by the compliment: "You're so pretty too, like the kind of beautiful senior in idol dramas who's known throughout the school."

This is why Qi Mingyue admires Liang Can.

The girls surrounding him were all so sophisticated.

Leaving aside Sheng Shuyi and Wen Xiying, even Lili is a woman of both talent and beauty.

It's truly baffling.

Holding her book, Qi Mingyue asked directly, "Zhuang Chenjin?"

"Just call me Tanuki."

"Okay, Lili, you can call me Mingyue from now on." Qi Mingyue asked curiously, "Lili, do you like Liang Can?"

Tanuki: "?"

Why would a friend I just met ask such a provocative question right off the bat?

The raccoon suddenly felt as if it had been pierced through.

She stammered, "Is it...is it that obvious?"

“It’s quite obvious. Rather than saying she likes him,” Qi Mingyue recalled Lili’s infatuated look when she watched the interview video, “it’s more like a fan chasing after a star.”

Lili scratched her head sheepishly: "It's alright, but Liang Can is really charming. You'll know once you meet him."

"I've seen him."

"Hmm?" The raccoon became alert.

Qi Mingyue laughed: "Don't misunderstand, neither of us has any other feelings for him. On the contrary, we're somewhat competitive because he's currently playing a game with my father. My father wants to invest in him, but Liang Can doesn't want to be controlled by my father. How should I describe their relationship..."

Lili interjected, "Liang Can wants both."

Qi Mingyue's eyes lit up and she immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, that description is so apt, it's like having both, Lili, your language talent is amazing."

Lili smiled shyly again: "That's what Liang Can said himself. He often uses that to describe himself."

"He has a pretty clear understanding of himself."

"Yes, Brother Liang Can has always been shamelessly honest."

The two found their conversation increasingly interesting, and when they were almost at the classroom door, they simply stood in the corridor and didn't go in.

So Qi Mingyue suggested, "Why don't we skip class and go shopping? I'll treat you to milk tea."

Lili was a little worried: "Isn't that a bit too arrogant to skip classes in the first semester of freshman year?"

"It's an easy course anyway, so it doesn't matter whether I attend it or not."

"Mingyue, you are so mature. I'm so envious."

"Let's go."

So the two turned back, took a bus to the school gate, and then hailed a taxi to the bustling area.

The two were walking down the street when Qi Mingyue spotted a newly opened trendy milk tea shop. She dragged Lili into the queue, and when it was their turn, the shop assistant proactively introduced, "Qingning APP and our shop have a promotion: the second cup is half price. Would you like to join us?"

"Yes, I need to." Lili nodded with a smile.

The two accepted the milk tea and chatted as they strolled around.

Qi Mingyue took a sip of milk tea and asked Lili, "Why do you like Liang Can?"

Tanuki countered, "Don't you like him?"

"I don't like it."

The raccoon breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Mingyue continued, "He is the type of guy I hate the most. He is arrogant and proud of himself. I am also the type of girl he hates the most because I am not under his control."

Tanuki was even happier after hearing that.

You'd better be out of control, preferably the kind that wants to fly to the heavens. As your friend, I'll definitely support you in flying to the heavens.

Ever since that day at her uncle's house, when she and Liang Can kissed on the sofa behind her aunt's back, Lili felt like she was showing signs of going astray.

Lately, she has been having frequent dreams about Liang Can at night, dreaming about doing dirty things with him.

Perhaps it's because she's in college now, but the level of her lewd behavior in her dreams has increased significantly. "If you have to give a reason for liking someone, it's a bit unreasonable," Lili said to Qi Mingyue. "Liking someone isn't like blind dating. Blind dating involves stating your needs and then finding a partner who matches your social standing, but liking someone is much freer."

"So, there's something about Liang Can that attracts you."

"Yes, for example, he is very free."

Lili chuckled and said, "Originally, I should be at Tsinghua or Peking University now, or I should apply directly to Ivy League schools abroad, but this time I made my own decision. I want to stay with my parents and study at Zhejiang University."

"I originally thought this choice would be very difficult and that my parents would strongly oppose it, but after actually taking this step, I found that the hardest part was actually making this decision."

Qi Mingyue tilted her head: "Did Liang Can teach you this?"

“I learned it from him.”

Lili said to Qi Mingyue, "People have to be responsible for themselves. I think I can be responsible for my choices, so I made this decision without hesitation."

Qi Mingyue was puzzled.

Is Liang Can really that awesome?
He could be a life mentor.

It's unbelievable, but this only fueled Qi Mingyue's interest in Liang Can.

His interview gave Qi Mingyue a deeper understanding of Liang Can, and the outstanding girl of the same age beside her spoke highly of Liang Can.

It was hard for Qi Mingyue not to feel a strong thirst for knowledge.

"Lili, what would you like to eat for lunch? It's my treat."

"There's a grilled fish restaurant nearby that's really popular on Qingning's local recommendations. Let's go eat there, it's on me."

"Let's split the bill (AA) then; it'll make our friendship last."

"no problem."

Grilled fish restaurant

Many girls who care about their appearance enjoy eating foods like grilled fish and hot pot, but they eat them very infrequently.

These things are really delicious, but the flavor is too strong.

After a hot pot or grilled fish meal, your fragrant hair and clothes will be covered in the strong smell of hot pot, and you won't be able to get rid of the smell unless you take a shower.

Therefore, many girls will leave eating strong-smelling foods as the last activity when they go on a date.

The waiter brought over the menu, glanced at Qi Mingyue and Lili, and immediately said, "Ladies, we have a promotion at Qingning. If you take a photo, check in, and share it, you'll get a 20% discount on all dishes!"

"Why?" Qi Mingyue asked.

The waiter smiled and replied, "The promotion staff from Qingning told us that this is called the 'beauty effect.' When beautiful young women like you take photos and check in, it subtly elevates the image of our store. To be honest, the effect is really significant!"

Qi Mingyue looked at Lili: "Then, shall we take a picture together?"

"I was prepared all along!"

Lili took the initiative to sit next to Qi Mingyue and started taking a photo together with her phone.

No matter how proud or aloof you are, as long as you are a woman, you will make all sorts of gestures and expressions when you're in a group.

After taking the photos, Lili lowered her head and started working: "I've sent you the photos. Let's each edit a few, and then pick the best ones to post on Lime."

"Ah."

Qi Mingyue is also very cautious about photo editing.

For women of their looks, who could make a living off their appearance, photo editing is very convenient. But the more beautiful they are, the more meticulous they become.

Once the grilled fish started bubbling away, the two of them were finally satisfied and sent the notifications to their respective Lime accounts. Then, notifications kept ringing out: likes, comments, and even more private messages.

The nature of private messages is quite complex.

There are many men who are obsessed with shrimp heads, and there are just as many women who are obsessed with shrimp heads.

In order to eat in peace, Qi Mingyue and Lili both chose to mute their messages.

"Mingyue, you just said that your dad wants to invest in Liang Can. Do you think it will be successful?" Lili asked curiously after taking a bite of grilled fish.

The two girls now know that they both come from very well-off families.

So it seems like they quickly became close.

Qi Mingyue placed a piece of fish on her rice and ate it, answering truthfully: "There will definitely be many obstacles before, but after this interview video is released, I estimate that the probability of success is very high."

After saying that, Qi Mingyue looked at Lili: "This interview has a lot of meaning. How much of it did you figure out?"

Tanuki: "."

Qi Mingyue also: "."

A moment later, Lili looked a little embarrassed and said shyly, "I'm sorry, I was a bit silly, I was too busy looking at Liang Can."

Qi Mingyue said that was not the case: "No, it's because I'm too scheming."

Then, Qi Mingyue told Lili about her discovery: "Liang Can showed a keen sense of the market and complete control over the entire company. His decisions can be implemented down to the lowest level of the sales staff. For example, when the waiter asked us to post, I knew it was Liang Can who said it. His personal style is too strong."

"What's most frightening is that his words can be relayed down the chain of command and still reach the waiters accurately."

Lili immediately understood: "So this interview video is actually Liang Can's investment advertisement?"

“Yes, yes!” Qi Mingyue laughed, “That’s exactly what I thought.”

Tanuki rested her chin on her hand, suddenly looking troubled.

Qi Mingyue blinked and asked with concern, "Why are you unhappy? Didn't you like the grilled fish?"

"The grilled fish is delicious."

Lili looked troubled and said with a bitter expression, "I can't see things that you can see at a glance. I'm much worse than you."

"Mingyue, you are really amazing. You know Liang Can so well. I really thought that this interview was just Liang Can trying to show off online."

Qi Mingyue chuckled dryly a few times and answered truthfully, "Um, I didn't see the part where he was showing off..."

Besides, I have no interest in getting to know Liang Can!

I was just satisfying my own curiosity.
