Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again Chapter 38 - 27: High-Tier Trendsetter vs. Low-Tier Trendset

He’s seen lots of these edgy girls coming to internet cafes to play, most of them aren’t exactly what you’d call proper girls.

If you’re even slightly good-looking, a bit more generous, buy her a soda, and book a whole night in the cafe, you can quickly test the waters by dawn, seeing if she’d fancy a place to rest, and then just take her to a hotel.

Even if you take it slow, getting her QQ and chatting a few tis is usually enough.

"Not bad!"

Su Zelin responded indifferently.

This is the way to kill the conversation.

It ans he has no interest in this girl.

Otherwise, Su Zelin would be smooth-talking, hitting her with a barrage of flirty remarks.

Although the edgy girl isn’t ugly, she’s not particularly pretty either, her only advantage being her youth.

Moreover, they might be playing too wildly, making it easy to catch sothing.

"Hey handso, why don’t you teach how to type?"

The edgy girl didn’t notice his subtle refusal and once again hinted at sothing.

This ti, Su Zelin didn’t even take his eyes off the screen, responding noncommittally, "Busy here!"

Another way to kill the conversation.

The girl finally caught on and sulkily stopped trying to hook him, focusing on chatting on QQ.

"Doo, doo..."

The QQ notification sounded, indicating a friend was online.

Su Zelin glanced at the nickna and just thought "crap".

"Yin Wei Wo Tai Ai Ni", a typical edgy userna.

Its owner is Huang Panpan.

Su Zelin imdiately switched to invisible mode, otherwise, this girl would definitely cling to him.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Huang Panpan’s QQ icon quickly started flashing.

Yin Wei Wo Tai Ai Ni: "Senior, I saw you!"

Can’t reply, I’ll pretend I just went offline!

I endure!

"Senior, are you in invisible mode?"

I endure again!

"Senior, you finished the college entrance exam, you must have done well!"

I’m a ninja turtle, I won’t reply, lalalala!

"Senior, just chat with for a bit!"

I can’t see it, I can’t see it, I can’t see it...

The slacker hypnotized himself.

...

After a while, the notification sound finally stopped.

Huang Panpan’s QQ icon turned gray.

Su Zelin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, got past it.

Continued surfing, half an hour later.

"Phew, senior, finally found you!"

Hearing the voice from behind, Su Zelin turned around abruptly, as if he’d seen a ghost.

Because Huang Panpan was standing right behind him.

The junior girl had painted thick smokey eye makeup, wore colored contacts, vibrant red lips, and donned a dark gothic-style short dress, with intricate and complex patterns, looking like countless magical spells at first glance, sh cutouts at the shoulders, with wide sleeves connected with black ribbons, the waist cinched tightly, and an irregular hemline. The overall design emphasized unrestrained wildness, extrely bold and avant-garde.

Dark, gloomy, decadent, rebellious yet extrely glamorous, showcasing a different kind of noble romantic beauty. With her makeup, at this mont, the junior girl looked like a mysterious and sexy little witch.

Still an edgy look, but her dressing style had changed a lot compared to before.

The ripped jeans and offensive slogan T-shirts she used to like were gone, Huang Panpan had overhauled her wardrobe, her taste skyrocketing.

This dark gothic outfit belonged to the future of edgy fashion, far more high-end than the traditional 90s edginess.

Many people in the internet cafe couldn’t help but glance over.

Entering suddenly at night, such a dazzling and alluring cool little witch was truly attention-grabbing.

Even many guys indifferent to edgy styles suddenly found the girl remarkably pleasing to the eye.

Even Su Zelin couldn’t help but take another look or two.

In his previous life, he’d never seen Huang Panpan dress in this style, was her changing her image affecting her too?

Actually, Huang Panpan never wore ripped jeans and offensive slogan T-shirts; that was purely following your lead.

The girl beside Su Zelin couldn’t help but compare herself to Huang Panpan, realizing she was completely overshadowed.

The difference in looks was too significant, even the outfit was worlds apart.

It felt like she was on another level!

Jianglan, where can I find such clothes, I want a set too.

The little rebel thought secretly.

"What are you doing here?"

As long as Huang Panpan showed up, Su Zelin found it very frustrating.

"Senior, it’s been so long, I missed you!"

Huang Panpan sulked adorably, her flower-like smile dispersing the deliberately crafted coldness.

"I heard today’s the deadline for college applications, senior should have returned ho from school, so I was thinking maybe you’d be here tonight, just taking a chance."

"Before logging into QQ, I prayed to the heavens, hoping to see you, and my wish actually ca true!"

Su Zelin: "..."

Why does this sound so familiar?

It’s peak internet surfing ti now; not to ntion no machines near Su Zelin, the whole internet cafe was packed, but that didn’t deter Huang Panpan.

She glanced at the edgy girl beside Su Zelin.

Hmm, the senior wouldn’t care for this type, ugly and unfashionable, they must not be acquainted.

"This machine, it’s mine now!"

Huang Panpan raised her eyebrows arrogantly.

The edgy girl was imdiately annoyed.

With Huang Panpan overshadowing her, she felt uncomfortable and instinctively treated her as a rival.

She puffed out her chest: "Why should I, I was here first, who are you? Do you know who my big brother is, let tell you..."

"Smack!"

A pack of Red Bull slapped down in front of her, and Huang Panpan didn’t feel like wasting words.

"Coming or not?"

The non-mainstream girl was stunned.

This girl doesn’t play by the rules!

We’re all non-mainstream, so why are you a little rich girl?

In this day and age, a pack of Red Bull is still quite tempting, many people don’t even earn five hundred bucks a month.

The non-mainstream girl only had twenty bucks to her na.

After hesitating a bit, she picked up the Red Bull and stuffed it into her pocket, logged out of QQ, and left without a word.

Anyway, the handso guy next to her didn’t seem interested, and this money was enough for her to surf the internet for quite a while.

As for dignity.

What is dignity?

Can you eat it?

Su Zelin was speechless.

In so aspects, Huang Panpan and he were quite alike.

Doing whatever it takes to achieve one’s goals, acting ruthlessly with few words, liking the simplest and most direct ways.

In a previous life, she even tried drugging his drink just to sleep with him once, Su Zelin almost got forcefully taken, so he’s genuinely wary of this girl.

Huang Panpan sat next to him, even moved her chair closer, her legs crossed, letting a jade foot stretch out from under her skirt seemingly unintentionally in front of Su Zelin.

The junior’s legs looked good, long and slender, smooth and plump like autumn lotus roots.

"Senior, why didn’t you reply to my ssages?"

Huang Panpan mindlessly kicked around, her snow-white jade foot starkly contrasting with her dark outfit.

She rubbed her crossover strap sandals, each toe round and shiny like little pearls.

"Can’t you see I’m busy?"

Su Zelin deliberately flirted with other female netizens one by one.

"Senior, you have a lot of female netizens, don’t you?"

Huang Panpan frowned.

Su Zelin didn’t speak.

Scared yet?

Know I’m a scumbag now?

Then just scram!

"No wonder you’re the man I fancy, so charming!"

Huang Panpan’s tone suddenly shifted.

Damn...

Su Zelin felt torn.

She could tolerate even this, not only wasn’t she angry, but she seed quite proud!

Su Zelin was baffled, he was starting to question life.

Could it be that for a handso guy like , even what I poop is sweet?

"Senior, you’re amazing, typing so fast!"

Huang Panpan’s eyes sparkled with little stars.

Su Zelin: "..."

The little fangirl chattered incessantly at his side, those pure white jade feet swaying in his view, making Su Zelin restless, he couldn’t continue chatting and directly logged off QQ, irritably asking, "How did you know I was here?"

"Our first eting was in this internet cafe, so I thought the senior might be online here, it seems you still have in your heart!"

Huang Panpan smiled sweetly.

Their acquaintance was purely coincidental.

In second year, Su Zelin was surfing here, and happened to sit next to Huang Panpan.

Not long after starting up, a few hooligans ca over to hit on her, despite Huang Panpan’s annoyed refusal, they kept harassing her.

At that ti, Su Zelin couldn’t stand it, and he realized this girl was a junior from his school.

So Su Zelin slamd the table: "Damn it, you dare to hit on my girl, get lost!"

The hooligans who were initially angry got stunned seeing Su Zelin’s face.

They all knew the ruffian.

In this neighborhood, Su Zelin was akin to the street king.

He could fight, could take on several people, and was fierce, with a reckless fighting style.

As the saying goes, the weak fear the strong, the strong fear the ruthless, the ruthless fear those who are reckless, and the reckless fear fools.

Su Zelin was both strong and ruthless, and in the neighborhood pecking order, he was near the top of the pyramid, only a fool could hold him back.

These hooligans had fought Su Zelin before and were terrified of him.

Even though he retired from the streets after starting high school, his reputation lingered, so no one wanted to provoke him, and the hooligans left without saying a word.

However, that wasn’t the end, witnessing Su Zelin scare off those hooligans with just a few words, Huang Panpan was awestruck, imdiately crushing on her senior, and added him on QQ right then.

Back then, Su Zelin saw she was pretty and a junior, so he didn’t refuse, who knew he was inviting a clingy one, a single misstep becoming an eternal regret.

He considered deleting Huang Panpan’s QQ several tis, but never did.

Previously, he had blacklisted all contacts with the junior, but Huang Panpan still found ways to reach him, she was like his shadow, impossible to shake off.

Su Zelin rolled his eyes: "Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m here purely because it’s close to ho, the internet fee is cheap, and the place is alright!"

"Senior, you must like , just pretending to be cold because of Shiqing, I totally get it!"

Huang Panpan selectively ignored the words she didn’t want to hear and spoke to herself.

Su Zelin had no solution, without further ado, he logged out and left imdiately.

Huang Panpan followed right after.

"Stop following !"

Su Zelin said sternly.

"Alright then, since the senior despises , I’ll just continue surfing here alone,"

Huang Panpan pitifully fiddled with her skirt, adding, "If I encounter troublemakers again..."

Su Zelin stopped and gritted his teeth in frustration.

This girl has him cornered!

Damn!
