Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 69 - 66 Campus Encounter
Chapter 69: Chapter 66 Campus Encounter
Here’s the translation of the provided text:
"You’re really something! Forget it, pretend I didn’t say anything! But as a buddy, I have to remind you—Li Si is a good girl, don’t end up hurting her! Even if you want to pursue her, handle the situation with Weiwei first!"
"I get it! She’s back now, so let’s stop talking!" Yin Xian, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed Ye Duowei walking toward her seat.
"What are you guys talking about? So mysterious? Are you bad-mouthing someone?" Ye Duowei wiped her hands and casually mentioned, "Just now, when I walked over, you two stopped talking—and I heard the name ’Li Si’! Who’s Li Si?"
The two were caught off guard, but Jia Yuejing reacted quickly: "She’s my junior. We were just talking about school stuff! You haven’t been around for years—you’re getting prettier and prettier these days!"
"Brother Xian, see? Even Brother Jing says I’m pretty, but back home, Mom said you wouldn’t admit it! Hmph!"
"Wait, hold on a second—what am I hearing? Mom? Whose mom? Your mom or his mom?" Jia Yuejing was totally confused.
"My mom!" Yin Xian rubbed the spot between his eyebrows wearily.
"Weiwei, are you already calling her ’Mom’?" He looked utterly disbelieving.
"Of course! I just came back and went to Brother Xian’s house, and Mom told me I’m always her daughter-in-law, so I should keep calling her ’Mom’!" They had made a verbal engagement back then, and she had already started calling her that.
"Alright, why don’t we look at the menu and decide what to eat. We’ll talk more after we’ve eaten!" Jia Yuejing wiped away imaginary sweat from his forehead—if this conversation carried on, he might end up crying!
After the meal, Jia Yuejing took a sigh of relief only for Ye Duowei’s sweet and playful voice to reach him: "Brother Jing, can you take me to visit your school sometime? I really want to know what you were like during your school days! Brother Xian, you come along too, okay?"
Yin Xian frowned slightly: "We’ve got other matters to handle recently. We’ll take you some other day!"
"Alright then... but I really want to go! What should I do? If you’re busy with your stuff, I don’t have anywhere else to go. How about I visit the campus myself?"
"Yin Xian, here’s what we’ll do—you handle your business while I take Weiwei to have a look around. It works out; I have some stuff to take care of at school anyway!" Jia Yuejing figured it’d be better for him to take her—trouble would surely brew if they left her to wander around campus on her own!
As June began, the temperature in North City rose, and people began switching to summer clothes. Compared to southern cities, North City’s mornings and evenings were still fairly cool, with only the midday hours being truly scorching.
That day, after lunch at the cafeteria, Li Si and Bai Shasha strolled around the sports field, chatting while digesting their meal.
Li Si had been in a good mood lately—Leng Mochen was handling everything for her, leaving her free to relax. When people are happy, everything seems pleasing—such was the case on this sunny afternoon, as students bustled around, nodding and greeting familiar faces as they passed!
Even the aging dormitory with its weathered exterior, the cafeteria with its less-than-stellar food, and the somewhat untidy sports field couldn’t dampen the charm of university life.
"Shasha, you’ve seemed a bit down lately—what’s going on?" Li Si noticed Bai Shasha’s unusually somber mood, as she often sighed and frowned for no apparent reason.
"Si, I don’t even know myself. You know next semester we’ll be juniors, and soon it’ll be time to start looking for internships." Bai Shasha had been feeling a little troubled.
"Just follow your passions! You’re studying media—it’s best to find a job that matches your field, right?" Although Li Si currently had some financial assets, she still planned to find a position aligned with her major when the time came for internships.
Bai Shasha pouted: "Don’t even mention it! My dad wants me to take the civil service exam right after graduation—but I honestly don’t like that kind of work. It’s not that civil service jobs are bad; they just don’t suit the lifestyle I want!"
"Then what do you want? Have you really asked yourself what your heart desires?" In her past life, Bai Shasha had taken the civil service exam and begrudgingly worked while complaining about it. If she didn’t want to make the same choice this time, as her closest friend, Li Si would definitely support her wholeheartedly!
"Actually, I’ve had a recent idea, but it’s not fully formed yet."
"Oh? Let’s hear it!" freewēbnoveℓ.com
"I want to be a journalist—reporting on social issues, letting the public see sides of the world they might not normally understand." Bai Shasha had been entertaining this notion lately. She knew herself well—if she ended up in a desk job following set routines every day, her current positive, upbeat, and ambitious self would eventually fade away.
"That’s a great idea! Shasha, your personality totally fits that field—I fully support you!"
"Haha, it’s reassuring chatting with someone rich. If I ever struggle to make ends meet in this line of work, you’ll have to help your sister out!"
"Of course! Just give me a call anytime!"
"Hey, take a look—isn’t that Yuejing?"
Bai Shasha, still laughing, suddenly noticed a man and a woman walking diagonally across from them. His expression was unmistakably Yuejing’s!
"It’s really him! And who’s that with him? Could she be his girlfriend?" Bai Shasha fired off a series of questions—the girl next to him was like a delicate flower.
"Who knows?"
Li Si also glanced over. Their gazes met, and Jia Yuejing was the first to speak: "Shasha! Long time no see—I’ve missed you both! Where are you two headed?"
"Miss me? Who says I missed you? I was just going to ask—flirting like this in front of your girlfriend, aren’t you afraid she’ll dump you?" Bai Shasha shot him a teasing sharp look.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Let me formally introduce—this is my... uh... friend’s fiancée. Yup, that’s it!" Suddenly realizing he had no idea how to define their relationship.
"Hello, everyone! I’m Brother Jing’s friend’s fiancée. Nice to meet you both! You’re so pretty!" Ye Duowei, unhesitatingly forward, hooked her arm around Bai Shasha’s and purposely ignored Li Si.
At a glance, she immediately recognized Li Si from the photos—the real-life version was several times more stunning!
"Haha, you’re very pretty as well! I’m Bai Shasha. This is my best friend, Li Si!"
"Oh wow, you’re Li Si!" Ye Duowei laughed theatrically, leaving Jia Yuejing feeling exasperated inside—could someone please explain what was going on?
Li Si couldn’t decipher her odd laughter: "Yes, I’m Li Si. Is there something wrong?"
"Yesterday, Brother Xian and Brother Jing were talking about you! Who’d have thought I’d meet you in person today!"
"Oh really? What were they saying about me?" Li Si found her demeanor off-putting—she seemed overly affected. Although she didn’t look young, her babyish way of speaking felt out of place. Brother Xian? Could it be Yin Xian?
"Oh, nothing! By the way, I forgot to introduce myself—I’m Ye Duowei, just back from studying abroad."
"Ye Duowei? You said your name is Ye Duowei?" Li Si’s expression darkened halfway—ah, so this was Ye Duowei, now standing right in front of her.
