Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Chapter 592 - 220: Class President, I Don’t Want to Go Home Tonight_4

Su Zelin reciprocated with a lick.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, everything was understood without words.

"Get in the car, you’ll be driving tonight, just take it easy on the speed, alright? My little heart can’t handle it!"

"Class leader, don’t worry, I’ll start slow and speed up once I get the hang of it."

They both got into the driver’s and passenger’s seats and fastened their seatbelts.

Turning the key, the car engine gave a low rumble as Ding Linna gently released the clutch and pressed the accelerator, the Santana 2000 began to move.

Nanaz was now very steady, unlike the first time she learned to drive when she would stall after a few jerks.

Su Zelin focused intently on the road ahead.

After all, it was Ding Linna’s first time officially driving on the road, so he needed to keep an eye on her.

Leaving the campus, they reached Academy Road, which wasn’t too congested since it wasn’t in the city center.

He quickly realized he had been overly worried.

Even with other vehicles around, Ding Linna showed no signs of a newbie’s nerves, maneuvering the Santana down the highway; she relished the thrill of galloping freely, her heart brimmed with excitement.

Seeing her handle it with ease, after a few turns on Academy Road, Su Zelin suggested she try heading into the city center.

The traffic gradually became heavier, yet Ding Linna remained calm and composed. Although not yet at Su Zelin’s veteran level of watching in all directions, she was quite good for a novice driver.

Su Zelin’s tense body began to relax.

Just like himself, Nanaz was a bold and meticulous driver, also yearning for speed and excitement.

He still remembered when she regained her freedom and came to Shenghai to find him, the first thing she said was, "Su Zelin, I want to race cars!"

At that time, Su Zelin was a member of a supercar club in Shenghai, owning three supercars worth over ten million each, and he’d occasionally play on the club’s exclusive track.

However, when Nanaz asked to borrow a car, he hesitated.

It wasn’t that he was stingy; no matter how expensive a supercar, it’s just a possession.

In comparison, he was more worried about something happening to Nanaz.

But back then, Ding Linna was in a terrible state, and Su Zelin knew she was in pain and confusion, even suffering a mild depression. The best way to release all that mental pressure was through some intense activity.

After careful consideration, he nodded, but insisted on sitting in the passenger seat to watch over Nanaz.

At that time, he took a huge risk doing so.

Although Nanaz had been driving for some time, it was her first time driving a supercar on a track, which was vastly different from ordinary road conditions, plus given her state at the time, anything could happen.

But precisely because of this, Su Zelin had to sit beside her—it wasn’t just to remind her, but also because Nanaz would definitely be cautious, as she valued his safety.

The race ended without any mishaps. Of course, in her first time on the track, she couldn’t compete with the veterans, not to mention having Su Zelin alongside her; even if not for herself, she’d consider him.

After the race, Su Zelin accompanied her to bungee jump and skydive, both daring activities that most people wouldn’t attempt.

A few days later, after dancing on the edge of life and death multiple times, Nanaz came to terms, and was no longer depressed.

She felt she was still young, with a long life ahead of her, and that there were people in this world worth staying for, like Su Zelin, who was willing to risk his life to join her in venting her feelings.

That night, she deliberately pretended to be drunk.

Because Ding Linna dared not confess directly to Su Zelin, feeling unworthy and fearing rejection, she wanted to test if there might be a chance to be with this guy who she had liked since college.

Yet, Su Zelin didn’t take advantage of her in the end; he just stayed by her side, guarding her like a gentleman all night.

They drove around the city center for who knows how long, finally returning to the empty lot where they used to practice driving.

By now, Nanaz was already a competent driver; there was no need to practice here anymore.

But she deliberately chose to drive here, and naturally had her reasons.

Once the Santana stalled, Ding Linna turned her head directly, planting a big kiss.

Nanaz wasn’t the type to play coy; she was bold and free-spirited. Even after reaching second and nearly third base with Su Zelin, she was all out in the open.

But Su Zelin was still a bit startled by her.

He had originally intended to take the plunge, but Nanaz had taken the initiative instead.

"Nanaz, wait a minute!"

Although his mind was in turmoil, Su Zelin still managed to gently push her away.

"Class leader, don’t you like me?"

Ding Linna was very nervous.

Although Su Zelin’s actions towards her proved his feelings, she was still worried.

"No, I like you a lot, but precisely because of that, I need to make it clear, I’m not a good guy, and if we continue like this, it might not turn out well. I’m really worried we won’t even be friends in the end!"

Su Zelin took a deep breath.

This had to be laid out clearly.

It was either moving forward or pulling back completely.

He had to admit he liked Nanaz, and had for two lifetimes.

This girl was enchanting and glamorous, lively and spicy, with a romantic flair, sharing many common interests and languages with himself—what guy wouldn’t like her, especially given her initiative.

In his past life, he only barely managed to control himself and refused her affection, choosing to be confidants instead.

After all, lovers are easy to find, but true confidants are rare.
