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

Shen Xinyi walked straight up to Lu Qian and stopped, her tall and graceful figure casting a long shadow in the setting sun.

The girl had a beautiful face and gentle eyes. As she walked over, she seemed to cut a cool and refreshing scene out of the sweltering summer.

"Wow, this girl is really hot. She's in a completely different league from the ones I had saved in my cloud drive before I was reborn..."

Lu Qian was also taken aback when he saw the girl who suddenly blocked his way.

The tight-fitting sports vest accentuated her graceful curves during her prime, and her long, straight legs were exceptionally fair. Her high ponytail swayed gently with her movements.

Her hair swept across the beautifully contoured nape of her neck, complementing her cool and refined face, making her resemble a drawn blade, sharp and valiant.

But it looks quite moisturized.

In terms of looks and temperament, the beautiful girl in front of me is just as good as my childhood sweetheart, only our styles are very different.

One, like a clear mountain spring.

The other one is like a rose under the blazing sun.

"If I remember correctly, this girl was quite popular at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School..."

Looking at that stunningly beautiful face, Lu Qian's memories gradually became clearer.

Although Shen Xinyi has a cold personality and never gives a second glance to her suitors, and although her popularity is slightly less than Lin Shuyue's, she is still the white moonlight in the hearts of countless boys in Jiangcheng No.1 High School.

More importantly, this girl seems to come from a very wealthy family. Rumor has it that the school building where Lu Qian and his classmates are currently studying was donated by her family, which has made many suitors hesitate.

After all, a financial gap can really make a man feel inferior.

In Lu Qian's memory, his only interaction with this goddess in his previous life was after his high school graduation ceremony.

He happened to be on duty that day, staying behind to clean the auditorium. The reason he was so impressed by this girl was because at that time, the huge venue was empty except for him and Shen Xinyi, who was sitting in a corner seat.

This campus goddess seemed to have stayed until the very end, just sitting there quietly, doing nothing.

Lu Qian found it strange at the time, but didn't think much of it and just kept cleaning.

When he was about to close the door, I went over and asked, "Are you leaving, classmate? I'm about to close the door."

As a result, Shen Xinyi raised her head, gave him a deep look, and without saying a word, got up and left.

That look left a deep impression on him for a long time.

"Thinking back now, was she perhaps trying to get to know me?"

This thought made Lu Qian feel a little strange, but he didn't delve into it.

Suppressing his doubts, he asked, "Excuse me, is there something you need?"

"Yes, something is indeed happening."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xinyi's gaze lingered on his face for two seconds, and something seemed to flash in her clear, cold eyes.

"Lu, I just saw you playing basketball. You're really good."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Actually, I'm quite interested in badminton too. Could you teach me how to play?"

After saying that, he seemed to feel that it wasn't sincere enough, so he quickly added, "I can treat you to milk tea for a month."

Her tone remained icy and cold, but it was clear that the girl was deliberately trying to appear gentler.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Qian, who had been standing next to Shen Xinyi and curiously observing Lu Qian, widened her eyes in surprise.

"Shen Xinyi, do you even want to listen to what you're saying? You're a former city youth badminton girls' singles champion, for crying out loud!"

"You need someone to teach you?! Your coach would be furious if he heard that!!"

"You're not actually trying to learn badminton from him, you're clearly just trying to flirt with him!!!"

Zhang Qian's mind was racing with thoughts, but she tried her best to maintain a natural expression on her face.

It's just that I can't control the corners of my mouth; it's even harder to suppress than an AK.

The ice queen Shen Xinyi took the initiative to strike up a conversation with a boy—this was the first time ever!

What exactly is it about Lu Qian that makes her best friend, who always has a cold face towards any man, treat him so differently?

"Tell me, woman, did you secretly go out with this man behind my back and do something shady?" Zhang Qian thought to herself.

It has to be said that my best friend's favoritism towards this handsome guy is quite inexplicable.

Lu Qian was also taken aback by Shen Xinyi's words and instinctively wanted to refuse.

Although the girl in front of me is quite pleasing to the eye, I have a lot of things to do after being reborn, so I don't have time to play ball with her.

And trying to get rid of him with just a cup of milk tea is a bit too disrespectful...

"Well, actually, I usually..."

"Hey hey hey!"

Just as Lu Qian was about to politely decline, Chen Yufei, who was standing next to him, nudged him hard with his elbow.

He lowered his voice, frantically hinting, "Hey, Qianzi, this is Shen Xinyi! Do you know how many people in our school like her?"

"They're doing you a favor by offering to buy you milk tea and teach you how to play ball, aren't you going to say yes?"

"Maybe you'll have an unforgettable memory with them someday, and if you're lucky, you might even get to eat meat... Hehe, that's how it's always shown in movies!"

Chen Yufei winked and gave him a knowing look.

"No, how come playing ball with someone makes you think about eating meat?" Lu Qian was both amused and exasperated by Chen Yufei's words.

The most fatal mistake for teenage boys in relationships is mistaking a girl's initiative for affection. In the end, when they try to win her over, they end up being won over instead.

Master Hongyi once said, "The more you try to control something, the more you are controlled by it."

Many people get caught in the whirlpool of emotions in this way.

Lu Qian wouldn't be so presumptuous.

So he said to Chen Yufei, "Dude, save your breath. Stop fantasizing about a toad wanting to eat swan meat. Girls like that aren't so easy to get."

"What? You're calling me a toad?" Chen Yufei immediately protested. "Then who are you? You're a bullfrog!"

"Who do you think you are? At least I'm a golden toad!"

"??"

Chen Yufei was caught off guard by Lu Qian's move and almost lost his composure, giving a manly 6.

Suddenly, without warning, a familiar blue panel popped up in front of Lu Qian's eyes.

[Ding—Medical research shows that engaging in healthy and enjoyable interactions with high-quality members of the opposite sex can effectively alleviate loneliness in the elderly, significantly improve mental well-being and life satisfaction, and is an excellent way to delay psychological aging!]

[Shen Xinyi, a woman with a beauty score of 95, has invited me to exercise!]

[Accept Shen Xinyi's invitation, and your appearance will be subtly and permanently enhanced, granting you an aura of charm. Embrace your youth and enjoy healthy social interactions!]

"..."

Lu Qian's words of refusal caught in his throat.

"No, how can I refuse?"

"It gave us way too much!"

Humans are visual creatures, so who wouldn't be happy to upgrade their hardware?

Besides, it's just playing ball with a pretty girl, so it's a win for me no matter how you look at it!

He immediately changed his mind, his gaze returning to Shen Xinyi's cool yet expectant face.

This girl is, after all, a hidden rich woman, and hugging her beautiful legs does indeed align with my desire to lie down...

"Looks like I'll have to borrow a copy of 'The Third Generation Tang Monk Training Plan' from the library when I have time..." Lu Qian immediately jotted it down in his notebook.

When he was young and didn't understand things, he felt sorry for this guy, thinking that with his popularity and good looks, he could have made a name for himself.

It wasn't until I got older that I realized that he was the real master.

After all, the gap between him and the second generation is obvious, which speaks volumes.

"Can."

He smiled and said to Shen Xinyi, "But Shen, I remember you're on the school's girls' basketball team, right? I might need your help with something later. Could you lend me a hand then?"

Lu Qian thought of the marketing plan he had just mentioned to Chen Yufei. If he could get Shen Xinyi, a classmate with a lot of influence among girls, to help with the promotion, the effect would definitely be twice as good.

Of course, there was another reason why he said that, which was related to a loss he had suffered in the past.

When interacting with others, it's best not to unconditionally agree to their requests. If you do this frequently, your efforts may be taken for granted by others.

The best way to get along is to make a small request in exchange for what the other person asks for, thus maintaining a balance in interpersonal relationships.

In his previous life, Lu Qian had failed to understand this point and was forced to resign from a company after less than two months due to tense workplace relationships.

People may not listen to what others teach, but they will understand after being taught something once. That's the principle.

Shen Xinyi, who had never been refused a request since childhood, was somewhat surprised that Lu Qian would make conditions for her.

Her cool eyes lit up: "Of course, you can come find me anytime."

A slight smile, yet her gaze is captivating.

Like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg, it exudes a touch of warmth amidst its coolness.

Then, as if she had discovered something, she lowered her head shyly.

Her long black hair fell down, obscuring her pretty face.

Zhang Qian, who was standing to the side, was somewhat stunned.

She's known Shen Xinyi for so long, and she's never seen her smile at any boy on her own initiative!

And she even got shy...

"Is Lu Qian cursed?!"

Zhang Qian secretly glanced at Lu Qian, wondering why her usually aloof best friend had suddenly become shy.

She was fine until she looked, and then something terrible happened; her little face immediately turned red.

It seems she accidentally... bumped into Lu Qian's eyes.

"Wow! Lu Qian seems to have suddenly become a lot more handsome..." The sweet girl almost couldn't help but cover her mouth.

Good heavens, what sins have I committed to allow such a monstrous modeler to tempt me!

The girl, obsessed with good looks, was instantly smitten and shyly pulled out her phone...
