Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!
Chapter 543 - 428: The Humble Contracted Artist (Two-in-One!)

Chapter 543: Chapter 428: The Humble Contracted Artist (Two-in-One!)

Tai City is located in Zhejiang Province, and the drive there from Hang City is not considered far.

Cheng Zhu had his own plans, wielding his own strategies to win hearts.

So, he quickly paid for the two concert tickets.

The scalper was actually quite baffled, feeling that he had encountered a very strange customer.

He provided free shipping, yet this person insisted on free shipping only for the ticket sent to himself, and the other ticket to be sent to someone else must be delivered cash on delivery.

And then, this preferably free shipping cost would be deducted at the time of payment!

Good grief, you’d call him stingy, but he’s taking a girl to see Zhou Jielun perform twice, and buying infield tickets to boot.

But call him generous, and he’s here haggling over a delivery fee.

"Really can’t figure out these young people these days," thought the scalper uncle.

In the midst of a halftime break with Hu Yan, Cheng Zhu opened the scalper’s social media to check out the upcoming Zhou Jielun concert dates.

As an excellent time management master, he was ready to start planning and staging.

Back in elementary school, the class teacher had said, students should learn to plan their time wisely.

Cheng Zhu: Got it!

I’m planning right now, planning right now!

Thank you, teacher, a lifetime worth of benefits!

Of course, he had to also conveniently plan his work schedule.

Fortunately, Zhou Jielun’s tour mostly took place in first, second, and third-tier cities, all which were locations where Youu Tea would set up shop, so the locations overlapped with his work.

Aside from that, Cheng Zhu had another thought in mind.

"I’m familiar with Tai City!"

He distinctly remembered visiting this prefecture-level city more than ten times.

But exactly how many times, his memory was a bit hazy.

And the reason he frequently visited this city in his past life was simple.

—Yiyi was from Tai City.

Another reason was that Cheng Zhu personally really enjoyed Taizhou cuisine.

Places like the famous and expensive Xinrong Restaurant, he personally found quite delicious.

In recent months, Cheng Zhu would occasionally chat with high school student Yiyi.

Of course, it was always Yiyi finding various reasons to initiate conversation with him.

He wouldn’t be too perfunctory, nor would he chat too enthusiastically, maintaining a... fishy indifference.

No choice, this life’s [Yiyi·Youth Version] came with enhanced features!

The high school student Yiyi of today was in her strongest phase.

The appearance of this underage version of the Innocent Little White Flower immediately made her cousin, the green tea Zhang Qiqi, lose some of her luster.

Cheng Zhu found it quite funny how fate could be such a miraculous thing.

"To have entanglements with Yiyi in my past life is one thing, but to encounter her again due to her cousin in this life!"

In fact, the internet-famous school beauty Zhang Qiqi was also from Tai City.

However, it seemed her current plan was to stay in Hang City after graduating from university this year.

Hang City’s appeal for internet celebrities was definitely stronger than that of Tai City.

"Speaking of which, Yiyi never mentioned in my past life that she had an internet-famous cousin."

"To be precise, aside from her mother, she didn’t bring up any other relatives to me."

Cheng Zhu had a good idea why.

It simply had to do with her unique family situation.

While others followed in their fathers’ footsteps, she seemed to be... following in her mother’s?

Aside from that, Cheng Zhu was absolutely certain in his heart: "Yiyi definitely did not like her cousin."

I can’t figure Yiyi out?

I’ve seen right through her!

It’s a common sight for one green tea to dislike another.

Moreover, Cheng Zhu personally felt Yiyi was of a higher tier than Qiqi.

Honestly, Zhang Qiqi might be considered crafty with ordinary men.

But in front of Cheng Zhu, he even thought Qiqi was a bit simple...

This could be seen from how she was always used by him as a tool, and discarded right after each use.

Just goes to show, the old saying is right: big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.

Men and women too, have their own food chain.

After a while, Hu Yan, who had changed back into her pajamas, came out from the bathroom.

Her face was flushed, looking as if she had applied blush.

The hot shower had not contributed much to this, the main culprits were undoubtedly Cheng Zhu and the massive floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom.

This huge one-way glass window gave Hu Yan, the introverted artist, a different experience.

For her, it felt a bit like being [semi-outdoors].

Cheng Zhu, holding his phone, glanced up at her, then... patted the bed.

Hu Yan lay down beside him and was immediately hugged by Cheng Zhu.

He continued to chat with the ticket-selling scalper in front of the slightly chubby vixen.

"Do you still have adjacent seats for Tai City?" a thought flashed through his mind, prompting him to type and ask.

"Yes, there are still 4 adjacent seats, how many do you want?" the scalper asked.

Wow, quite capable, with an ample supply of tickets!

"Just one is fine, and send another one to me at the Xinhang Apartment address," Cheng Zhu typed.

Throughout this process, he still leisurely chatted with Hu Yan, asking, "Would you dare to go to such a concert?"

Hu Yan tilted her head to look at him then quickly shook her head.

A concert with tens of thousands of people, that’s just too scary!

Seeing her reaction, Cheng Zhu laughed and patted her plump butt, squeezing it afterwards, and asked, "So you’re that scared of crowds?"

"It just feels very uncomfortable and tense around so many people, and I feel like I can’t breathe comfortably if there are too many," Hu Yan murmured softly.
