Rebirth: My Home Has Become a Gathering Place for Young Women with a "Crazy" Spirit

Qin Lang stretched, feeling that he had gained a lot today, and even though he had been using his brain all day, he was still full of energy.

My body, which feels ten years younger, is like it's on steroids. I can stay up for three days and three nights without blinking, unlike myself ten years later. I can't stay up all night without smoking, and I rarely give the middle finger to the sky when I wake up in the morning.

It really proves the saying that when you reach middle age, you feel powerless to do anything.

For example, a student sitting on the playground at this moment, his lonely figure is just like a middle-aged man who is powerless.

However, Qin Lang recognized the look; it was from a close friend of his before he became withdrawn. The friend had comforted him quite a bit back then, but because he ignored everyone in his withdrawn state, his friend could only sigh with regret countless times.

"Qiangzi, what are you doing?"

"Lang, Brother Lang?"

Huang Ziqiang seemed startled, and suddenly raised his head, looking at Qin Lang with a hint of surprise and uncertainty.

After all, Lang Ge was really scary today. He was just as withdrawn and like a walking corpse before today, but suddenly he was like a completely different person.

Look at how enthusiastically they're studying in that classroom; it's making those students who're getting scholarships feel a bit threatened.

Huang Ziqiang was both happy and puzzled, but because he had gotten himself into some trouble, he hesitated to muster the courage to greet Qin Lang and could only stay here alone in his solitude.

"Hey, what are you doing here all by yourself? You look like you've been dumped by a woman."

As Qin Lang spoke, he walked over and sat down next to Huang Ziqiang. After all, Huang Ziqiang was his best friend from the past, so it wasn't too much to show some concern.

Huang Ziqiang opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopped, his expression a mixture of shame and frustration.

It wasn't until Qin Lang gently punched his chest and said, "Just say what you want to say, stop beating around the bush like a girl."

This made Huang Ziqiang feel a little dazed—the old Lang Ge really came back. He was such a sunny and cheerful person before he became withdrawn!

Huang Ziqiang felt a long-lost warmth and finally sighed, "My girlfriend dumped me."

Qin Lang asked incredulously, "You actually have a girlfriend?"

Huang Ziqiang: "..."

For a fleeting moment, he genuinely wished that Brother Lang could withdraw into himself again.

Unable to suppress another sigh, Huang Ziqiang continued, "Have you forgotten that I'm dating Ruan Zhihuan?"

"It's her birthday today, and I transferred 1314 to her. After she received it, she said she still felt it was better to be friends with me and wanted to break up with me."

"That money was something I had painstakingly saved up. I was planning to make her happy for her birthday, but it seems like she just wanted to play with me. What should I do, Lang-ge...?"

He's a grown man, and although he didn't cry, he's acting like a wronged child.

Qin Lang, who was standing to the side, was also dumbfounded.

Wow, our school even has this kind of premium green tea?

They're already forming cliques on university campuses; what will they be like when they enter the workforce?

Wait a minute, Ruan Zhihuan, that name sounds familiar...

Qin Lang thought for a moment, then took out his phone and sent Xu Han a WeChat message.

Qin Lang: "Is there someone named Ruan Zhihuan in your trio?"

After sending the WeChat message, Qin Lang glanced at Huang Ziqiang, who was sighing and looking aggrieved beside him. This guy was of average appearance and family background. His grades in his major courses were average, and his emotional intelligence, IQ, and AQ were all above average. To put it bluntly, he had no strengths whatsoever.

He was able to win over Ruan Zhihuan entirely through his sincere heart and relentless pursuit, but in the end, his sincerity was wasted on a scheming woman.

"Have you had your fun?" Qin Lang patted Huang Ziqiang on the shoulder, a hint of mockery on his face.

"What did you play? What did you play?" Huang Ziqiang looked a little confused, not understanding what Lang Ge meant.

"Didn't you say she just wanted to play with you, and that besides feelings and money, she'd used you for anything else?"

Huang Ziqiang was stunned for a moment, and it took him three seconds to understand what Lang Ge meant. His head slumped down to his crotch, like a wilted eggplant, and he said in a muffled voice, "No. I haven't even held her hand yet."

Qin Lang scoffed, "So you spent 1314 and didn't get a single penny."

At that moment, a reply from Xu Han popped up on his phone screen. When he opened it, there was only one word.

Xu Han: "Mm."

Qin Lang raised an eyebrow, a playful smile playing on his lips. He turned to look at the half-dead Huang Ziqiang beside him and said, "Alright, stop crying here. Just go find Ruan Zhihuan and get the money back, that's all."

"Want...want it back?" Huang Ziqiang suddenly looked up, his small eyes wide open, but then deflated: "But, you know what kind of person she is. If we give it to her, she definitely won't give it back."

Qin Lang chuckled: "What's there to be afraid of? She's just a 'cheeky' girl!"

He lived for nearly thirty years in his previous life, and spent ten years navigating the complexities of society. He'd seen all sorts of monsters and demons; a mere green tea college student was nothing to him.

Give me your phone.

Taking Huang Ziqiang's phone, Qin Lang opened his chat history with Ruan Zhihuan. He raised an eyebrow, surprised at how experienced Ruan Zhihuan was in handling things. When transferring money, she had guided Huang Ziqiang to add a note saying "voluntary gift".

If you have these four words, just go to her and ask for the money. As long as she sends you the screenshot, Huang Ziqiang definitely won't be able to pay her back.

Moreover, even if someone uses a fake account to impersonate a parent and add her on WeChat, given the person's intelligence, they will definitely call back to verify. If they are exposed then, the money will be completely wasted.

Qin Lang smiled knowingly and said, "Watch closely now."

Exit the chat window, find Director Wang from the Academic Affairs Office in the class group, and take a screenshot of his profile picture. Qin Lang then changed his contact name in Huang Ziqiang's phone to "Director Wang from the Academic Affairs Office" and changed his profile picture to the same one as Director Wang's.

After doing this, Qin Lang took out his phone and made two voice calls to Huang Ziqiang, deliberately ignoring both calls. The screen displayed two red missed call icons.

He typed another message and sent it over.

Director Wang of the Academic Affairs Office: "Huang Ziqiang, your father just called the school to inquire about the 1,300 yuan exam fee for the CET-4, but the actual exam fee is only 32 yuan, and it's paid by the student themselves. Your father is on his way to the school. You need to go to the Academic Affairs Office immediately to explain the situation. This matter must be dealt with seriously!"

Qin Lang took a screenshot using Huang Ziqiang's phone, sent it to Ruan Zhihuan, and then edited a text message.

Huang Ziqiang: "Oh no! My dad checked my phone and found you. He took pictures of our chat history and is investigating with Director Wang from the Academic Affairs Office. You'd better block me right away, or you'll get dragged into this."

Watching Qin Lang's actions, Huang Ziqiang stared blankly, his mind a little slow to process what he was seeing.

Ten seconds after the message was sent, Ruan Zhihuan's profile picture on Huang Ziqiang's phone turned gray, a remarkably swift and decisive action.

Qin Lang switched his WeChat account to a different one, changed his profile picture to a landscape image that middle-aged men are fond of, and changed his nickname to "Mountains and Seas".

Send a friend request to Ruan Zhihuan with the verification message: Huang Ziqiang's father.

"Will she accept?" Huang Ziqiang looked at the friend request, feeling a little apprehensive.

"Yes, I will." Qin Lang held his phone in one hand, while rhythmically tapping his knee with the tips of his index and middle fingers with the other.
