Chapter 268: 199. Dinner for Three_2
Zhou Sinin giggled, revealing two cute dimples at the corners of her mouth, her voice carrying the distinct softness unique to the Yangtze River Delta Region.
"I really can’t be bothered with you."
Guan Yongyi’s lips quirked up, showing an utterly exasperated look.
"Before, you always sat next to me, and you’d give me the first bite of anything good. What now? You’re going to change that fast because you’ve got a man?"
"Always flaunting your love in front of me, making me envious. At least he’s aware enough to consider my feelings!"
"Zhou Sinin, you, I tell you, are even less conscientious than a scumbag."
...
Zhou Sinin blushed, involuntarily sticking out her tongue as she realized there might be some truth to the criticism.
"Guan Guan~ Where would I~"
Knowing she was at fault, she could only elongate her words in a coquettish drawl.
"Next time, next time I won’t."
"Next time? So you like feeling uncomfortable, huh? I really don’t want to eat with the two of you anymore."
Guan Yongyi, who always ate very little, wiped her mouth and crossed her arms.
"That won’t do, how can we be unfair! The Ran Dong Team can’t do without any of us!"
As Zhou Sinin said this, she flashed a charming crescent-moon smile.
"I think it doesn’t matter if I’m missing."
The short-haired girl sat up straight, taking out a small mirror and applying lipstick without regard for anyone else.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Oh, right..."
Zhou Sinin, completely oblivious to her best friend’s little action, just kept looking for topics to placate the friend she’d "neglected" during the meal.
"Didn’t you say it was annoying to be in the same group with Luo Yongfei? Thinking he might pester you again?"
"I talked it over with Lu Jincheng when I came. He agreed too. Waste not, want not. If Luo Yongfei pesters you again, just use him as a human shield."
"When did I..."
Lu Jincheng started to say something but was cut off by a glance from Zhou Sinin turning her head towards him.
He clearly understood the implication.
Have some sense of the big picture!
We’re all so close, what’s wrong with a little cooperation?
It’s not real, after all!
"Fine, fine. I didn’t want to bother him, it just never seemed right."
Guan Yongyi feigned reluctance.
She nodded hesitantly, managed a forced smile, her voice faint and resigned.
"What’s wrong with that? I’m telling you, Lu Jincheng is very resourceful. What bothers you might just be a simple gesture for him."
Zhou Sinin was the last one to put down her chopsticks.
Standing up, she earnestly said to her best friend,
In fact, from her perspective, Luo Yongfei was indeed an annoying fly.
Since the beginning of the semester, Luo Yongfei pursued Guan Yongyi, and as a supportive best friend, Zhou Sinin also invested a lot of effort.
Passing along messages, sending gifts, finding out the new address...
Despite Zhou Sinin’s tight lips and firm attitude, she still experienced Luo Yongfei’s tenacity to some extent.
With such a premise, other than her boyfriend who could employ a variety of tactics, she couldn’t think of a way to protect Guan Yongyi under the same roof.
Out of genuine concern, out of guilt for neglecting her friend, and out of trust in Lu Jincheng,
So, Zhou Sinin took it upon herself to make a decision.
After a hearty meal, the trio strolled down the campus path together towards the direction of the Finance Department dormitory.
They had planned to drop Zhou Sinin off for a rest on their way to the Law School building for their usual afternoon thesis group meeting.
"I’m so sleepy, I’m going to sleep until I wake up naturally!"
Zhou Sinin, holding the man with her left hand and her best friend with her right, was evenly attentive to both, all the way brimming with laughter.
It wasn’t until they reached the dormitory building that she turned around, waving at them.
"I’m off, okay?"
"Yeah, bye~"
Guan Yongyi smiled and waved back, but then she saw Zhou Sinin’s next move – she quickly took small steps, opened her arms wide and flung herself into Lu Jincheng’s embrace.
In the bright sunlight, the girl’s brown hair against her white skin, her chin tilted up, the angle was breathtakingly beautiful for a moment.
"Hey, you! Not even a hug before you leave!"
Zhou Sinin’s eyes sparkled with tender affection as she wrapped her arms around the man’s waist, inhaled deeply against his chest, and nuzzled like a little kitten.
"Now I’m really off, okay?"
She whispered, but her body didn’t move an inch.
"Yeah."
Lu Jincheng responded, close to her ear.
"How can you be so silly!"
Zhou Sinin huffed and pinched his waist, seemingly light but precise on the spot.
Alright, alright.
The hint failed.
The girl, frustrated with her passive demeanor, took it upon herself to act. She wrapped her arms around the man’s neck, rose on her tiptoes, and boldly moved her cherry lips toward his.
Smooch.
A light kiss landed on the left cheek. Zhou Sinin clearly wasn’t satisfied yet, so she symmetrically delivered one to the right cheek, and finally, the lips.
Like a dragonfly skimming the surface of water.
"Off we go~ bye-bye~"
She bounced away, her bell-like voice echoing through the dormitory hallway.
A girl in love, desperate to proclaim everything to the world, how could she resist showing off her affection?
A quick peck downstairs, without indulging in a French wet kiss, was already the most sincere respect to the audience.
"Still watching?"
A cold voice sounded from behind.
"Let’s go, let’s go."
Lu Jincheng withdrew his gaze and turned around.
The short-haired girl had her arms crossed over her chest, staring at him with pursed cherry lips and an expressionless face.
For some reason, Mr. Lu, who had been through countless ups and downs, felt a bit uneasy at that moment.
Guan Yongyi didn’t speak, simply taking out a wet wipe from her bag and handing it to him.
Wipe your mouth, wipe your face, clean off the lipstick marks.
Passing a trash can, Lu Jincheng carelessly threw the wet wipe away, only for the person beside him to hand him another.
"Wipe it again."
So, he meticulously wiped once more, and this time, the short-haired girl was somewhat satisfied.
Taking a turn from the Finance Department’s dormitory crossing to a less crowded fork in the road.
As soon as they reached the fork, Guan Yongyi also mimicked her friend’s earlier gesture, wrapping her arm around his.
"Mr. Lu, is it more comfortable to walk this way?"
"It’s fine, it’s fine."
Lu Jincheng almost laughed out loud, striving to control his facial muscles so as not to smile, pretending to be sincerely fearful.
That voice, that tone, the obvious implied meaning!
He nearly died of laughter.
Where did all this jealousy come from!
Unexpectedly, the usually cold Guan Yongyi became adorable when jealous, a sight he had never seen before.
Her makeup was clearly done with serious intent, her cherry lips slightly pouted, the rose color reflecting the pride and the conflict within her heart.
She was upset, the kind that needed consolation quickly.
Guan Yongyi could also be fiercely jealous!
"Look at you, are you jealous?"
Lu Jincheng quickly lowered his head, whispering into Guan Yongyi’s ear.
"Not at all. How can I be jealous when I’m not even entitled to a name at a dinner for three?"
"You both sat on the same side, what does that make me?"
Guan Yongyi shrugged her shoulders, her delicate eyebrows and eyes seemingly saying "Don’t even think about it," her lips forming a straight line.
"Please, cut out that green tea act."
Lu Jincheng raised an eyebrow, his gaze playful as he looked at her.
"Shameless!"
Struck by the term "green tea," Guan Yongyi’s defenses broke down, her arm pulled back, and her fist hammered into the man’s chest.
"You’re truly shameless! Must you show affection in my presence? Couldn’t you push her away?"
"So annoying!"
"Go away, don’t touch me!"
This is how a woman can be, persistently questioning while clinging to Lu Jincheng and then suddenly becoming unrecognizable when things turn sour.
Mr. Lu, of course, had his ways.
It was certain that reasoning was futile now.
After all, having kissed and hugged in front of his secret girlfriend, it would be strange if the sea of jealousy wasn’t churning.
So, he steered Guan Yongyi into a strange teaching building, wrapping his arm around her waist and pushing her through the door.
"What’s going on? Why come to the music classroom!"
"You’re going the wrong way, the Law School is up ahead, big brother."
The corridor was deserted and quiet.
"I miss you so much."
Lu Jincheng hugged the short-haired girl from the front, their eyes locked.
"How much do you miss me?"
In almost a second, Guan Yongyi’s face was flushed with deep red, forgetting her anger from moments before.
Lu Jincheng didn’t respond.
He grasped Guan Yongyi’s chin firmly and kissed her intensely.
A long, forceful, unyielding kiss.
A wet kiss.
