Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

In less than three days, he had saved the contact information of more than a dozen girls on his phone.

If someone's appearance or figure doesn't suit his taste, he deletes them cleanly with just a couple of clicks.

It's called a blind date, but to put it bluntly, it's about finding a suitable person to spend your life with.

"Zhou Xuan, slightly chubby, a little over 1.7 meters tall, okay."

She was one of them, a saleswoman at a jewelry store in the county town.

According to her original trajectory, she should still be a sophomore in college right now.

But twenty years ago, many students who should have been in school didn't go... Schools were deserted, and training classes were even less popular.

I already knew everything taught in university before I was reborn; I'm just going to study for another four years to get a diploma.

Two years ago, schools opened green channels: students could apply for the corresponding academic certificates by presenting proof of their former teachers or friends.

Of course, those who wish to continue attending classes can still enter the school.

High school students, college students, master's students, and doctoral students who failed the college entrance exam back then have now received supplementary admission notices.

Teachers always need to be busy... mentoring more high-achieving students is also beneficial to the country.

With nothing else to do, Lin Quan drove into the county town.

I bought a bouquet of roses and went into the jewelry store where Zhou Xuan worked.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Xuan asked, looking up.

"I was just passing by and thought I'd drop by," he replied casually.

"I don't get off work until five o'clock."

"No rush. Are you free tonight? How about we grab a bite to eat together?" he smiled.

"Okay." She nodded. At twenty years old, having just been given a second chance at life, she didn't want to suffer the same pain she had in her previous life. In this life, she was determined to live life to the fullest.

"How about this necklace?" he asked, pointing to a diamond pendant.

"It looks pretty," she replied with a smile.

"I bought it." He took out his phone, scanned the QR code to pay, and handed the box over.

Romantic moments under the moon are not as meaningful as reality; when sleepless nights are long, having someone who cares for you makes the days less empty.

Even with items costing less than 30,000, you can still save several thousand after paying a month's rent.

A fixed deposit of 30 million yuan would yield 300,000 yuan in interest every month.

There are quite a few young women in the shop, and they are all very pretty.

Perhaps it was because the uniform was tailored so neatly that it accentuated her waist and leg lines, and made her look radiant.

Lin Quan knew perfectly well that investment requires making choices; you can't cut down an entire forest for one tree unless that tree is truly worth the price.

Zhou Xuan did not refuse, but generously opened the packaging and put on the pendant.

"It looks really good," he complimented.

"Thank you." She smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners.

"I'll go first, I'll pick you up at five." After saying that, he turned and left, his back steady, his steps neither hurried nor slow.

"Xiaoxuan, who is this?" Zhang Rong asked, leaning closer.

"Sister Zhang, this is my blind date." She was straightforward.

"How long have you known each other?"

"Our second meeting."

"You gave her a necklace worth over 20,000 yuan after only meeting her twice?" Zhang Rong couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

"Now that Xiaoxuan has made it big, don't forget about us!" Xu Li joked.

"Sister Xu, even if the King of Heaven forgets, I will never forget you," she replied with a smile.

"What does he do?" Zhang Rong asked again.

"I used to run a braised food shop in another city, and I just returned to the village before the Lunar New Year."

"They don't look like they're short of money," Xu Li interjected.

"He lives alone. The old house is under construction, so I don't really know much else," Zhou Xuan said truthfully.

"Be careful, don't believe things too easily or too quickly," Xu Li warned in a low voice.

After leaving the jewelry store, Lin Quan drove around the county town a few times, spotted a model villa, and placed an order on the spot.

It has one basement level and two above-ground levels, covering an area of ​​over 200 square meters, with each floor approximately 120 square meters.

"Buying a house in the county town that you can move into right away for two million, it's hard to say whether it's a loss or a gain."

More than a decade later, in a villa area a few kilometers away from the county seat, even detached houses were hard to sell for 500,000 yuan.

After tidying up the house, Lin Quan stopped by the mall to buy some daily necessities.

"It's almost five o'clock, let's go to Zhou Dahei Jewelry Store."

He sells gold and silver jewelry by the piece, and the boss is so ruthless that everyone in the industry calls him Zhou Dahei (Big Black Zhou).

The car was parked on the side of the road, and Lin Quan got out and went straight into the store.

"Coming, wait two minutes." Zhou Xuan didn't even look up, she was busy tidying up the counter.

"Handsome, can you give us a ride?" Xu Li asked with a grin.

"If you want to go, can I stop you?" Lin Quan raised his eyebrows.

"Are you coming or not? Give me a straight answer." Zhang Rong slung her bag over her shoulder.

"Let's go." Lin Quan didn't waste any more words.

A few minutes later, he drove Zhou Xuan, Zhang Rong, Xu Li, and Chen Xue to their usual hot pot restaurant.

"How long have you had this car?" Zhang Rong asked while fastening her seatbelt.

"It's been more than two years."

"You bought a car two years ago?" Zhang Rong was taken aback.

"It's just a car? Why are you so surprised? I've heard of people who are reborn and can scrape together a down payment in three days; and others who can borrow money just by talking about their looks and get billions..." Lin Quan shook his head with a smile.

"Even those of us without skills can still work nine to five," Chen Xue said, picking up a piece of tripe with a tone as indifferent as plain water.

"Why not just marry a rich man and have a stable life?" Lin Quan joked.

"People who are reborn rarely get married. Those who are really rich are even less inclined to get a marriage certificate." Chen Xue paused with her chopsticks.

Zhou Xuan wore a blue blazer with fitted trousers and a neatly tailored waistline.

The girls in the jewelry store all stood straight, smiled confidently, and their looks and figures could withstand close scrutiny.

Lin Quan was a little confused when ordering food... Each person ordered three items, and he got confused just by hearing the names.

When there are many women, they can't keep quiet; one after another, they talk without stopping.

Although they are only in their early twenties, they are living a completely different life.

They speak frankly, make jokes without reservation, and say whatever they think.

When a man pursues a woman, it's like climbing a mountain; when a woman pursues a man, it's like being made of thin paper.

Lin Quan was tall, clean-cut, and had plenty of money in his pocket—a real hot commodity.

During the meal, several of Zhang Rong's colleagues subtly glanced at him, pursed their lips, and crossed their legs, their eyes constantly drifting towards him.

Under the table, his calf was lightly brushed twice, and his ankle was touched.

The thought had been brewing in his mind for a while, but he was only focused on Zhou Xuan... He would only feel at ease if he won her over first.

Zhou Xuan wasn't unaware of it. Her fingers, gripping the chopsticks, were slightly white at the knuckles.

They haven't even gotten engaged yet, so who knows what the future holds? Even if they get married, many couples still break up.

After paying the bill, we went to a karaoke bar and sang for two hours.

Around nine o'clock, Zhang Rong and the others left one after another, leaving only Zhou Xuan standing at the store entrance, the wind gently blowing the ends of her hair.

Lin Quan reached out and took her hand, his palm warm and dry. She didn't pull her hand away, so he naturally put his arm around her waist, his palm resting firmly on the fabric of her trousers.

She lowered her eyes and breathed very softly.

There aren't many men who catch your eye; if you miss this one, who knows where the next one will come from.

But if I agree, what will happen next? It's obvious without even thinking about it.

"Where do you live? I'll give you a ride."

"Over there on the pedestrian street..."

"Sharing an apartment?"

"Mm." She nodded.

"Come to my place," he said in a low voice, as if it were just a casual remark.

"Your house back home, hasn't it been built yet?" She looked up, her brows furrowing slightly.

I just bought it this afternoon.

"Oh," she replied very softly, like a feather falling to the ground.

We had hot pot and a few bottles of beer, then two glasses of fruit wine at the karaoke bar.

Lin Quan didn't drive; he hailed a taxi.
