Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!-Chapter 289 - 216. The Lethality of Memories

The meal didn’t last too long.

After refilling a pot of tea twice, it seemed that all the topics of conversation had been exhausted. Guo Minjie picked up the tab and left the small restaurant with everyone.

"Well, I’ll head home first, you all should rest early too. Developing rapport is important, but don’t stay up too late."

Shuguang Garden was not far away.

Before leaving, Guo Minjie gave Lu Jincheng a meaningful glance.

...

"Jia Jia, I’ll take a walk with him, I won’t return to the dormitory just yet."

After the group walked back to the South Gate, Lu Jincheng tugged at Zhong Ruixi’s sleeve and gave her a knowing look, to which she immediately understood and said,

"Why don’t you let Liu Yisheng walk you back?"

"Alright, alright, we are aware of our manners, so we won’t play the third wheel for you~"

It was only around seven o’clock, so heading straight back to the dormitory did seem a bit early.

Ni Jiayun pouted her lips and checked the time, but didn’t insist and, together with Liu Yisheng, took a turn and walked down the path.

"It’s really cold!"

After the teammates left, Zhong Ruixi shrunk her neck, crossing her hands and tucking them into her sleeves, involuntarily stamping her feet on the ground.

"Next time wear more, look at others, if not a scarf then a hat."

Lu Jincheng said with a smile as he pulled over her hand, transferring warmth to her.

"Layering and wearing a scarf doesn’t look good!"

Autumn and winter are the best seasons for tall girls to showcase their fashion sense.

This December, Zhong Ruixi was no exception.

Today, she wore a long black trench coat with a basic knit sweater underneath, paired with same-hue high-waisted straight-leg pants.

She had not only specifically chosen a monochrome outfit, but the tailoring was also an overall H shape, which made her legs look even slimmer and longer, elongating her vertical proportions, and with a pair of long boots, her presence was impressive.

"Then, how about we go to the store ahead and have something warm?"

"Sure!"

Zhong Ruixi nodded enthusiastically with high spirits.

...

Winter in Jiang City had its romantic side.

Inside the school’s Bubble Tea place with light music playing, couples holding all kinds of drinks sat together, and no matter how much sugar was in their beverages, the air seemed sweet.

"Mmm... this is what you need in winter, so comforting."

After being called, Lu Jincheng brought over two cups of hot milk tea.

Zhong Ruixi took a sip and felt a warm current surround her body, blissfully squinting her eyes.

The milk tea shop was brightly lit, casting a slanted light on her side profile. Her ponytail didn’t hold back all the hair strands, leaving two locks dangling down both sides of her face, swaying now and then with the evening breeze coming in from the door.

As soon as she sat down, she unbuttoned her coat, so it wouldn’t wrinkle, and the black knit sweater in a slim-fit cut was clean and sharp looking, not bulky at all.

"Hey."

Zhong Ruixi moved her arm, nudging Lu Jincheng, who was well-behaved and sipping milk tea.

"What’s up?"

"What were you up to this afternoon, showing up so late?"

"It’s just ten minutes. I came earlier than Teacher Guo..."

Mr. Lu said with a nonchalant face, spreading his hands openly.

As for this, he had planned it in advance.

He deliberately had Guo Minjie go back to the office to fetch a thermos and prepare hot tea, making sure to enter the classroom five minutes late.

Although not many people would stretch their imagination to associate a teacher and student arriving late together with anything romantic, it was better to be safe than sorry.

"What are you comparing with the teacher for? It’s already good enough that Teacher Guo can take time out of her schedule to guide us. Really."

Zhong Ruixi lifted her chin, pursed her lips, and gave him a white-eyed look of exasperation.

"I overslept during my nap."

Lu Jincheng made up an excuse.

"Can you be a little more serious! All of us are practicing so hard behind the scenes, and yet here you are with this attitude."

"Hey, wait, what do you mean behind the scenes?"

The man turned his head and looked at Zhong Ruixi, a picture of seriousness.

Did he walk onto the wrong set?

Hadn’t they just begun training not long ago?

"Jia Jia and I also practice in the dorm! Look..."

As she spoke, Zhong Ruixi put her milk tea down on the table and pulled out her phone, swiping open the video interface.

Lu Jincheng leaned in with his shoulder, his upper body moving closer.

The screen was filled with the chattering voices of girls, and after a few seconds, the camera flicked around to show Zhong Ruixi and Ni Jiayun dressed in cotton pajamas, barefaced.

It was definitely a girls’ dormitory.

The single wide-angle shot captured the desks of four girls, stickers, intimate clothing hanging on a small ladder, and numerous feminine products everywhere.

[May I ask the debater from the affirmative side...]

He suddenly became interested.

"Wait, I can’t see clearly, can I hold it myself?"

Lu Jincheng easily took the screen from Zhong Ruixi’s hand, carefully examining the room’s interior.

Hmm... the two seats near the door can’t be hers, too messy. frёeωebɳovel.com

The ones near the window don’t seem like her style either, too cartoonish, not in line with Zhong Ruixi’s style.

It must be this seat.

Right, it looks familiar.

He instantly recognized a white hoodie with a hood that Zhong Ruixi had worn during her high school days.

Memories suddenly flooded his mind.

It seems... back in high school, she was good at layering as well.

She’d slip a hoodie under the plain autumn school uniform, flipping the hood to hang at the back of her neck, with her ponytail flicking to one side as she walked.

Back then, he loved sneaking glances at Zhong Ruixi from the back row or the corridor.

The sun beaming through the windows, the vivacious beauty of the young girl blooming with a smile, the scene could be eternally etched in one’s heart.

"How did I do with my practice?"

"Huh?"

His memory was interrupted, and Lu Jincheng was taken aback.

"I said! Do you think our practice method is okay?"

Zhong Ruixi turned to face him, eyes brimming with a smile.

"Yeah, it looks quite professional."
