Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time-Chapter 98: A Chance Encounter While Buying a Computer

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: A Chance Encounter While Buying a Computer

From the expression on Ge Erdan’s young face, Wan Chu’er quickly understood his meaning. She wasn’t the clingy type, so she said:

"You’re too weak right now, exercising with me twice a week is enough."

Seeing Ge Erdan’s shoulders droop, Wan Chu’er shook her head, wondering why he had no masculinity at all.

She took another look at his frail frame and said:

"You need to get a good sleep, eat well, and exercise properly, strive to become stronger, and then we can increase the frequency."

Ge Erdan blinked and immediately nodded enthusiastically.

Old Man Ge couldn’t help but grin at the side, it’s good as long as his grandson is obedient, heh heh.

"Remember to keep your word," Wan Chu’er said, extending her fist and gently thumping Ge Erdan. Then she added, "If you talk instead of just nodding, I might consider liking you."

Such a sticky boy, Wan Chu’er really wanted to give up.

But having said her piece and made a promise, she wouldn’t go back on her word easily.

"Sure, I’ll eat well, sleep well, and exercise properly to become a strong man!"

Ge Erdan immediately rambled on like a machine gun.

Wan Chu’er nodded, gave him a thumbs up, and inspired Ge Erdan even more.

As they were about to part ways, Ge Erdan started to dawdle again. He suddenly remembered that Sister Chu’er preferred him speaking, so he gathered his courage and asked:

"Sister Chu’er, can I come to see you after breakfast? I won’t disturb you, I’ll just do my homework at your place."

Ge Erdan knew that Sister Chu’er lived just behind their building.

Although Sister Chu’er was not very talkative, he knew that she truly cared for him.

Wan Chu’er had already planned to visit the electronic mall today, so she said to Ge Erdan, "I have errands to run today, let’s make it tomorrow."

Ge Erdan was about to nod, but then he remembered to speak instead, "Okay. Sister Chu’er, what are you going out to do? Do you need my help?"

Still a helpful child, but Wan Chu’er only patted his head and said:

"When you’re a bit stronger, I might ask for your help."

After hearing this, Ge Erdan wished he could become stronger right away, but for now, he could only feel regret that he was powerless.

However, as soon as the grandfather and grandson returned home, Ge Erdan started clamoring for food. He devoured a pile of food before stopping, much to the delight of Old Man Ge, who used to see the young boy peck at his food like a chick.

He decided to increase the tuition fee he gave to Wan Chu’er.

Upon returning home, Wan Chu’er washed up, made herself a simple breakfast, read for a while, and then packed her backpack and headed to the electronic mall.

She planned to buy a computer as soon as possible to facilitate self-learning computer programming. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

In recent days, she had garnered a rough understanding of computer hardware from reading books. Worrying about being all theory and no practice, she decided to go take a look at the electronic mall.

Professionals buying desktop computers usually purchase the parts separately and assemble them themselves. It’s necessary to inspect and buy each component separately from different vendors, as few offer a complete set, making buying a computer no simple task.

The electronic mall was very large, and although it had just opened in the morning, it was already bustling with people.

She strolled slowly, stopping to listen whenever she saw a vendor explaining their products to customers.

At noon, she casually ate a piece of bread, then went to the internet cafe on the top floor of the electronic mall, planning to combine her observations from the morning and browse online hardware forums to decide on assembling her computer in the afternoon and take it home.

The forums were bustling, with many experts and even more beginners. She quickly gathered the information she needed, taking notes in her notebook from time to time.

When she left the internet cafe, two or three people came out from the glass door opposite, and Wan Chu’er instinctively stepped aside.

"Wan Chu’er?"

A surprised female voice came from the other side. Wan Chu’er looked up and saw, well, what a small world.

Jiang Kechu and his sister Jiang Xiaoxiao were there with a young man in a white shirt and jeans accompanying them.

It was Jiang Xiaoxiao who first recognized Wan Chu’er. She called out uncertainly, after all, they had met just over a month ago.

Last time, Wan Chu’er left a good impression on her, and she was quite surprised and happy to encounter her today.

But she didn’t know if Wan Chu’er still remembered her.

Jiang Kechu, who was talking to the young man beside him, turned his head when he heard his sister’s voice and saw Wan Chu’er with a backpack.

He glanced at the internet cafe behind Wan Chu’er, his brows slightly furrowed; it was a smoky and miasmic place, not exactly savory.

Wan Chu’er still had a good feeling about Jiang Xiaoxiao, and she showed a smile and nodded in response: "Jiang Xiaoxiao, hello."

As for Jiang Kechu, she had seen the way he looked at the internet cafe behind her; he clearly disapproved of her going to such a place, so she simply ignored Jiang Kechu.

Jiang Xiaoxiao also showed a bright smile and said:

"Yeah, what a coincidence. Are you here to buy a computer in the electronic mall? I heard from Qiqi that you are in the same class as her, and since you study computer science, you must need your own computer."

Look how smart and considerate Xiaoxiao is, to guess the reason for her visit right away. You, Jiang Kechu, blind to see, only noticed her going to the internet cafe, huh!

Wan Chu’er immediately decided to completely ignore Jiang Kechu and smiled at Jiang Xiaoxiao: "Yes, I browsed for half a day this morning and then checked the forums just now. I’m planning to go make the purchase soon."

Apparently sensing Wan Chu’er’s disdain, it seemed he had misunderstood; Jiang Kechu looked somewhat sheepish.

Jiang Xiaoxiao very naturally put her arm around Wan Chu’er and laughed:

"Chuchu, I can call you Chuchu, right? I think it sounds nice. This is my brother and his friend, they are boring people, you don’t have to mind them."

Hearing her words, Wan Chu’er couldn’t help but curl her lips and decided to follow suit.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was always friendly, but this friendliness was only for the people she liked.

Wan Chu’er didn’t expect to gain Jiang Xiaoxiao’s fondness so quickly this time. It had taken her more than a year in her past life.

"I also plan to buy a computer, but I’m an art major and don’t understand computers at all, so I dragged my brother out today. If I knew I would meet you, I wouldn’t have brought my brother along, he gave me quite a bit of trouble."

Then she leaned in close to Wan Chu’er and said with a giggle: "My brother’s friend works here, we’ll let him guide us later, we’ll definitely be able to get some good stuff."

Wan Chu’er’s eyes fell, intending to keep her distance from Jiang Kechu, so it was better to interact less with them.

So, she smiled apologetically at Jiang Xiaoxiao and said: "I’ve already chosen the components this morning, so I’ll go straight down and pay."

She didn’t finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear, and everyone present, being astute, immediately understood.

Wan Chu’er was refusing them.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was taken aback for a moment and looked back at her brother.
