Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!-Chapter 61 - 56. Arsonist of the Heart

"Nope, she won’t spill your little secret, just teasing her."

Lu Jincheng’s attention was immediately drawn over.

"That thing, it’s not really a secret."

Guan Yongyi stood elegantly with her slender waist, standing tall, flicking off the water droplets from her fingertips after washing her hands, a slight smile hanging from the corner of her lips.

Her lips were very attractive, full and luscious, with lipstick that shone brilliantly, and not a single wrinkle.

Mr. Lu stared, a bit mesmerized.

"I can’t be bothered to tell it again, if you want the gossip, have her tell you."

So, Zhou Sinin went on to recount her best friend’s story once more.

Guan Yongyi’s relationship with her roommates was already not ideal, and in the past few days, there happened to be a boy chasing after her.

That boy turned out to be the secret crush of one of her roommates, with flowers and gifts arriving on schedule at Law School’s Room 501.

With Guan Yongyi’s personality, she wouldn’t handle such matters with subtlety or fake pleasantries, returning all flowers and gifts, outright rejecting the suitor’s advances and affections.

But in her roommate’s eyes, her actions were tantamount to a double slap in the face, escalating the conflict once again.

The boy I can’t have, you disdain?

When Guan Yongyi was around, the atmosphere in the dormitory was like a solidified tar road, the three girls huddled together, laughing and chatting, leaving her feeling distinctly isolated.

"I’ve said it before, there’s no need for jade to clash with pottery, it’s a waste of time."

Lu Jincheng shrugged after hearing the story: "So, are you planning to move out?"

"Yep, I’ve been looking at apartments for two days now."

Guan Yongyi nodded, her face still expressionless, as though listening to someone else’s story.

"Did you talk to Aunt Lin about it?"

Zhou Sinin linked her arm through hers and asked.

"I did, Mom just transferred the money over."

"Renting an apartment in the neighborhood complex next door?"

Lu Jincheng asked casually.

"She said it’s too much of a hassle for a girl to rent, told me to buy one near school to save trouble."

Guan Yongyi raised her phone slightly, her voice tinged with a bit more color.

"Hmm... that makes sense."

Mr. Lu was slightly taken aback, for the first time at a loss for words by Guan Yongyi.

Shit!

Although for her, buying an apartment was about as common as a normal family buying a new appliance.

Lu Jincheng was indeed amazed!

He suddenly understood how ordinary people must feel in her presence.

I came back to life, took out loans, played the stock market, dabbled in industry and the internet, to make just how much money?

You merely open your mouth to your family, and you can get a seven-figure sum for a house?

In September 2014, the housing prices in Jiangcheng East Lake High-tech District were around 8000-9000, and for the type of apartments most people needed, that was close to a million.

No wonder her roommate didn’t get past military training before starting to form a tight-knit group.

Not of the same world, one simply cannot blend in.

"Remember to come help me move, to the Jiangnan Garden Complex nearby."

Guan Yongyi’s eyes sparkled with a smile as she told Lu Jincheng, "You’ve promised me."

She didn’t have many male friends, and moving without a boy around was indeed quite troublesome, even with moving companies.

"Sure."

"Once I get the paperwork done, it won’t take long."

...

...

The evening breeze was gentle as the trio left the Western bar and headed to the underground parking lot.

Both girls had drunk quite a bit of red wine, leaning on each other’s arms, following behind Lu Jincheng, chattering nonstop.

"Tonight, we shall trouble him to be our driver."

"He can drive?"

"Man, his mouth sure can! Whenever he sits in the passenger seat, he complains I’m too slow. Today, I’m going to see if he’s really an expert driver."

"Here, the keys!"

Lu Jincheng caught the keys that Zhou Sinin tossed over and seated himself in the driver’s seat.

He engaged the electronic parking brake, pressed the accelerator, letting the car idle as the vents naturally blew out cool air.

From the Mini’s Harman Kardon sound system, a light and comfortable folk melody began to play.

"Next stop, the final destination, Nanhu Avenue Chashan Liu."

As the intro played, Guan Yongyi perked up her ears and instantly recognized the name of the song.

A new indie musician on Cloud Music, The Landlord’s Cat’s original work.

— "Next Stop, Chashan Liu."

"Wow, are you listening to this song too?"

"Yeah, it’s so good! And I think the lyrics are very well written, they have such a... such a youthful vibe to them."

Zhou Sinin smiled and drew a circle in the air with her hand.

The song begins with the public bus 538’s announcement, and Chashan Liu is the station name for Finance University and Nanhu University.

If the world is really that big, then let’s set out from here, from campus.

Even though the days of youth may fade with time, we can still go on living passionately, with tears or laughter.

Chashan Liu will always be there; it is not the final stop, the next stop is somewhere in the distance.

Since the two senior sisters gained fame, Pei Pei dedicated herself to studying songwriting while Xinyi focused on polishing her singing. They came less and less to perform at the coffee shop.

"Are the lyrics written by a senior sister? It’s like every line is about our school."

"Not by a senior sister."

Guan Yongyi, who knew the truth having assisted with the legal advisory for the contract signing that day, pursed her lips and shook her head.

"Alright, I’m going to check it out."

Zhou Sinin shook her head, pulled out her phone, and opened Cloud Music to look for the lyricist’s name.

"Golden Stone Studio..."

On the screen, instead of a specific author behind the lyrics, there was a familiar studio name.

Zhou Sinin looked suspiciously ahead, her large pupils filled with curiosity.

"Hey! These lyrics... You didn’t write them, did you?"

The astute Zhou Sinin leaned forward and poked the focused driver in the driver’s seat with her finger.

"Yeah, so what?"

Mr. Lu nodded.

"You can write lyrics too?"

Zhou Sinin looked toward the front, her bright eyes held a hint of something unusual, and she couldn’t help but ask further.

"You’re not from Finance University, how did you manage to write these details?"

"I drive you to Finance University every day, the school motto is right at the gate, and we pass by the Wentai Building every day, we’ve even eaten together at the Bridge Building, what’s so difficult about that?"

Lu Jincheng maintained his nonchalant demeanor.

"Wow... that’s so impressive!"

The song she had been listening to on repeat was actually a casual creation by the boy sitting next to her.

Zhou Sinin stared, wide-eyed, the dim light of the car interior tracing from his mouth to his chin and then to his adam’s apple, which bobbed when he spoke.

Her cheeks flushed with color, and her heart started to thump with excitement.

"Wait, Guan Guan, how come you’re not reacting?"

Zhou Sinin tugged at her best friend’s sleeve, blinking, "You listen to music every day, don’t you think the lyricist is talented and impressive?"

"...Hmm, indeed, a bit impressive."

Guan Yongyi’s lips were pressed tightly, her expression unchanged, her voice steady.

The light hidden in her eyes started to shine from that day, and when the song hit the charts, it became a sky full of stars.

The girl, who adored style and inflection, felt as if she was experiencing an illusion.

Talent and taste were presented in a just-right manner, to the point where she felt...

Her own heart was about to be stolen as well.
