Reborn to prepare for the college entrance exam, you're letting me retire and make a comeback?

Upon hearing this, Chen Yufei's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

The moonlight seemed to linger on her fair cheeks, and her clear eyes instantly focused on Lu Qian's face, with a hint of astonishment.

What did he mean by that?

"Does he like someone?"

"Could it be...?"

Thinking about it, Chen Yufei's face suddenly turned red.

When a lone man and woman are alone under the moon, it's hard for Lu Qian not to misunderstand when he says such a thing.

A thought, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, rippled through her heart, causing her heart to skip a beat.

The girl could even feel a slight warmth creeping up to the tips of her ears.

However, upon closer reflection, I realized something was amiss.

"No, he said 'like someone,' not 'like a person.'"

"A person" can refer to either "a specific person" or "being alone." He is probably referring to his own state of "liking to be alone."

Alright, you little brat, trying to play word games with me, huh?

She looked at the boy in front of her and laughed.

She gently shook her head, and the enchanting atmosphere vanished instantly with a flicker of her eye.

"Alright, alright."

She smiled and said, "Stop playing word games with me. Let's go, get in the car."

As he spoke, he deftly opened the driver's side door.

This time, Chen Yufei wasn't driving the slightly Maybach she'd driven before, but rather a low-key, understated dark green sports car.

The car body has no ostentatious logos, but its smooth lines and exquisite craftsmanship silently tell of its high price, clearly indicating that it is her private car.

"Okay, you give me a ride."

Lu Qian shrugged, opened the passenger door, and got in.

Although he is an adult, he hasn't gotten his driver's license yet, so he can't have the chance to drive. He can only sit obediently in the passenger seat and fasten his seatbelt.

He skillfully pulled over the seatbelt and fastened it, glancing out of the corner of his eye to see Chen Yufei beside him also bending down to fasten her seatbelt.

The seatbelt was pulled diagonally across her chest from her left shoulder and finally locked into the buckle on her right waist.

But this seemingly ordinary action took on a breathtaking quality when performed by her.

The seatbelt perfectly outlined the magnificent view of the undulating peaks, creating a striking contrast between the plump and full figure and the slender waist, which was especially noticeable inside the enclosed car.

Lu Qian's gaze paused for a second subconsciously, then he casually looked away.

"No wonder she's a pampered young lady; her nutrition is truly top-notch..."

His gaze swept across the car interior.

The interior features premium off-white leather with a delicate touch. The center console is adorned with exquisite and adorable small crystal snowflake ornaments, a bottle of lightly scented car perfume, and a fluffy cartoon pendant.

Seeing this, he smiled and said, "Senior, you're so pretty and your family is so rich, how come your car is full of girls' things? Haven't you ever had a boyfriend?"

"There really isn't..."

At this moment, Chen Yufei had already started the car.

The dark green sports car smoothly glided into the traffic in the night.

Hearing Lu Qian's question, she smiled slightly: "They probably all think I already have a boyfriend. Anyway, the ones who actively pursued me are either too ulterior-motives, or... well, not quite appropriate."

Her tone was relaxed, and there was little hint of regret in her voice.

"Of course, I feel the same way."

Lu Qian chuckled and replied, "The female classmates at school all think I already have a girlfriend. It's lonely at the top, I understand."

"Ha ha……"

Chen Yufei was amused again by his unashamed and narcissistic remarks.

She glanced quickly at Lu Qian, her usually cool eyes now brimming with amusement: "You really know how to make girls happy..."

This little guy has a thick skin, and it's quite... interesting.

Lu Qian smiled but didn't say anything.

If you don't really have any good topics to talk about with a cool girl like Chen Yufei, just follow her lead and show that you understand her point of view. This will quickly help you connect with her.

For example, that little joke just now broke the ice between the two of them instantly.

There are certain rules to follow when chatting with girls.

Just then, a familiar melody began to play from the car stereo.

It was Hu Xia's clear and pure voice singing "Those Years".

"Back to where we started, your youthful face in my memory..."

"Standing blankly in front of the mirror, awkwardly tying the knot of a red tie..."

The melody of the song instantly struck Lu Qian.

In his youth before his rebirth, the movie "You Are the Apple of My Eye" had moved him a lot.

Those stories about innocent love and regretful missed opportunities were a projection of his teenage feelings. In fact, it could be said that these kinds of stories about "missed opportunities" indirectly inspired his later idea of ​​writing a rebirth script.

He didn't like the ending because it had too much of a sentimental, melancholic feel to it.

When the song reached its climax.

When Lu Qian hummed along to "The heavy rain we missed in those years, the love we missed in those years," he almost subconsciously started singing along.

The voice was calm, but not off-key, and still very pleasant to listen to.

Chen Yufei didn't interrupt him or say anything. She just drove quietly, her eyes fixed on the road ahead, listening quietly to the boy humming beside her.

When the music ended, only the low rumble of the engine and the background noise of the city remained inside the car.

"You sang very well," Chen Yufei said softly, her tone full of sincere appreciation.

"Haha, that's right, after all, you know how good I am at singing."

At this moment, Lu Qian reverted to his carefree personality: "To be honest, I recorded two songs yesterday, and you might be able to hear them online in a few days."

"Oh?" Chen Yufei raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised.

But she quickly smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll remember that, I'll definitely go listen then."

She didn't ask for details, as if it were just a trivial matter.

Before long, the dark green sports car smoothly pulled up in front of a café called "Neighbor".

This shop is located in a quiet area amidst the hustle and bustle, with a minimalist Nordic style decor, soft lighting, and a tranquil atmosphere.

After parking the car, the two pushed open the door and entered.

The wind chimes on the door made a crisp tinkling sound.

The café wasn't crowded; people sat in twos and threes, their conversations hushed tones.

Lu Qian quickly glanced at it and said to Chen Yufei, "Senior, you have a good eye for picking places. The price range here must be quite high."

"Hmm? How did you figure that out?" Chen Yufei asked curiously.

She chose this place because of its pleasant environment, privacy, and suitability for business discussions. She also dislikes noisy or ostentatious places and is used to upscale cafes like this.

However, from the outside, the coffee shop is not decorated in a luxurious way, and the people sitting there are dressed very simply. Ordinary people would not be able to see any trace of "heavenly palace".

It was quite surprising that Lu Qian could see it.

"How did you figure that out?" she asked.

"Of course, it's to see the customers here."

As Lu Qian followed the waiter to the booth, he lowered his voice and explained, "Most wealthy people who do business don't wear big logos on their clothes. Look at their clothes, the cut is good and the fabric quality is obviously very good, but you can't tell what brand they are. They are mostly custom-made."

He slightly raised his chin, gesturing to a woman watching a tablet not far away: "Take this woman for example, her hair is meticulously maintained, with excellent shine and smoothness. This is not an effect that ordinary hair care products can achieve. These details can reveal their status."

Having worked in sales before, he had once glimpsed a corner of the Heavenly Palace from afar.

In sales, you can't do without a keen eye.

"..."

Chen Yufei followed his gaze and, after thinking about the circles she usually interacted with, couldn't help but smile: "You're quite observant. It seems you know quite a lot."

"Of course." Lu Qian said matter-of-factly, "I usually enjoy observing life."

The two sat in a booth by the window. Lu Qian ordered a latte, and Chen Yufei ordered a fruit and herbal tea.

The location is excellent, with a quiet courtyard outside the window and a comfortable space inside.

They had barely sat down when new customers arrived at the booth next to them; they looked like a young couple on their first date or a blind date.

The two were not speaking loudly, but their conversation could still be faintly heard in the relatively quiet environment.

"I'm sorry, I didn't actually want to come today."

The woman's voice was a little down: "I haven't been in a good mood lately. My mother passed away last week, but I promised you, so I couldn't break my promise and came."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately expressed sympathy: "Oh, is that so? If you're feeling down, how about I keep you company for a walk tonight to cheer you up?"

"No need, thank you. I have my boyfriend with me."

"Uh, okay, I have a mom."

After saying that, the man stood up abruptly, and with the woman looking completely bewildered, he left with a single sentence and strode out of the coffee shop.

Lu Qian and Chen Yufei: "..."

Good grief, so she's run into a jerk. Who's playing whom here?
