Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again Chapter 284 123: It Really Feels Safe Next to the Slacker Cl

After the Spring Festival, Su Zelin's winter vacation life was quite leisurely. Apart from being taken back to his hotown to visit his grandparents with his parents, he spent every day either surfing the internet or reading comics, occasionally texting and chatting with Nanaz.

During this ti, Huang Panpan visited with gifts to pay a New Year's greeting once, and they also went out for milk tea once. However, Su Zelin always brought along the "toolman" Lu Haoran, saying that the honest guy was still not over his breakup.

Every week, he would also call Kang Baohong to ask about the situation at the electronics store and learn that there were no thefts.

Soon, it was the eleventh day of the lunar calendar.

After the Lantern Festival, the Finance Academy would resu classes, and within a few days, students had to return to school.

When Su Zelin first got ho, Zhao Lixia was delighted, serving a grand feast that evening, almost like a full Manchu-Han banquet.

The second evening was also quite lavish.

By the third evening, it was back to the usual ho-cooked al.

By the fourth evening, it was more of a casual bite.

By the fifth evening, she was busy outside, leaving her son to make do with whatever he could find to eat, as long as he didn't starve.

Within less than a week of vacation, she was already in a state of letting him fend for himself, sotis even finding her son an eyesore, worrying about him all day, wanting to send him back to the Finance Academy.

However, just as Su Zelin was about to return to school, Granny Su began to feel reluctant to part with her son again, serving lavish als every night once more.

This is indeed common for many parents with college kids returning ho for vacation, very conflicting emotions.

At dusk, his mom was cooking in the kitchen while Su Zelin lay lifelessly on the bed, engrossed in a copy of "Fla of Recca", with a few volus of "Dragon Lore" and "The Holy Child Arrives" stacked around him.

Just as he was reading with great interest, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, and it was from Yu Province.

The loafer was a bit surprised.

At this ti, telecom scams were rare, and you wouldn't receive nurous spam loan calls. After all, big data hadn't beco prevalent, and personal information wasn't as easily leaked.

Was it a wrong number?

With curiosity and doubt, Su Zelin answered, "Hello?"

"Hello, class monitor."

A soft female voice ca through the handset.

"Wanyin?"

The loafer imdiately recognized it.

Because of their colleagueship at the electronics store, he and Liu Wanyin were already quite familiar, and her voice was quite distinctive, giving a Lin Daiyu-like frail impression.

Long-distance phone charges aren't cheap, especially for soone from a poor family like Wanyin. She wouldn't call for sothing unimportant, and it's probably hard to explain in just a few sentences.

"Wanyin, I'll hang up and call you back!"

Without waiting for a response, Su Zelin hung up and redialed the number.

Liu Wanyin picked up in an instant.

"Thank you, class monitor."

The girl's tone was full of gratitude.

She knew Su Zelin was doing this to save her so money.

"Okay, go ahead, Wanyin, what do you need?"

Su Zelin didn't beat around the bush.

"Well, class monitor, I might need to delay returning to school by ten days or half a month. Could you help get a leave of absence from the electronics store?"

Liu Wanyin's voice was timid.

The school side was fine, but the part-ti job at the electronics store was the big issue.

She had just started working there a month before the New Year, and now she needed to take a long leave just after the sester started. She was worried that Manager Kang might get mad and even fire her.

But she really needed this part-ti job, so she could only ask Su Zelin for help, knowing that the manager seed to trust him as the store lead.

Su Zelin frowned.

In his previous life, Liu Wanyin never returned to school after the winter break and disappeared from then on.

Now, as the vacation ended, she was asking for leave, making people have to wonder what was going on with her.

"Wanyin, why do you need to take leave? Can you tell the reason? Maybe I can help you."

"Class monitor, sothing happened at ho, so I can't return to school on ti. I'm really sorry and really appreciate your concern, but I can handle it."

Liu Wanyin didn't tell him the specific reason, but from her tone, the loafer sensed helplessness and worry.

After a few more questions, she still insisted she was fine, leaving Su Zelin helpless.

After chatting for a while, he heard other people's voices through the handset, speaking the local dialect, sounding like they were impatiently urging her.

Liu Wanyin said, "Class monitor, soone else needs the phone, so let's leave it at that."

"Wait a minute!" Su Zelin quickly said, "Can I reach you at this number?"

"I'm afraid not. This is the village office's phone, and it's quite far from my ho. Others won't relay ssages, class monitor, goodbye!"

With those words, Liu Wanyin hung up.

Now, Su Zelin couldn't focus on his comics anymore.

This girl didn't return to school after winter break in his previous life, and now she's asking for leave again…

At that mont, his Nokia 8210 rang again.

Su Zelin perked up, but it wasn't Liu Wanyin calling back.

The caller was "The Capable Assistant".

No doubt, it was Luo Xi.

During the winter break, the class belle also kept in touch with him, but at most, it was just sending ssages. This was the first ti she called.

Looks like Liu Wanyin had called Ah Xi as well!

"Hey, class monitor, Wanyin just called asking if I could request a leave for her with Counselor Teacher Wu and Horoom Teacher Yao. She said she would return to school ten days or half a month late!"

Luo Xi got straight to the point.

Just as Su Zelin had predicted.

She needed Su Zelin's help with the electronics store, and asking the school for leave was a separate task she didn't feel comfortable troubling the class monitor with, so she split the tasks between Luo Xi and Su Zelin.

Actually, she called Luo Xi first and then called Su Zelin.
