Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!-Chapter 264 - 196. Find a way

"We’re signing up together, you won’t blame me if we get eliminated in the first round, right?"

"Rest assured, with me here, there’s no way we’ll be out in the first round."

"You wish! We’ve been classmates for so many years, and I’ve never heard... that you know how to debate."

Zhong Ruixi chuckled, her clear and crisp voice echoing in the small room.

"I might not understand debate, but I understand something else."

Lu Jincheng straightened his back, confidently looking at Zhong Ruixi.

"What?"

"Sponsorship, of course. I can’t speak for other schools, but this year’s White Horse Cup is hosted by our school. Isn’t getting an inside sponsorship a piece of cake for me?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, okay, okay, you’re the best."

Zhong Ruixi pursed her lips slightly, an expression of speechlessness on her face, but her eyes were filled with an intense laughter that couldn’t be dissolved.

"To tell you the truth, we certainly aren’t as professional as the others. Do you know why the White Horse Cup is set for freshmen?"

"I don’t know."

"Because freshmen haven’t learned much yet. Take players from journalism, philosophy, or law, they have either a glib tongue or hardcore logical arguments, how can we compete?"

"That makes sense..."

"You need to change your mindset, it’s the participation that counts."

Just playing along with her, having a bit of fun – could he really expect the makeshift team of Lu Zhong to advance to the finals?

After filling their stomachs, Lu Jincheng put his arm around the girl’s waist, playfully slapped her pert little butt, and also stopped eating with his chopsticks.

After all, hot springs weren’t really a place to have a proper meal. If you soak for too long, you’d inevitably feel dizzy.

Nibbling a few fancy dishes and downing several cups of wine was enough for enjoyment.

In a few minutes, the effects of the alcohol surged.

Zhong Ruixi’s thoughts floated with the water, and for some reason, she could no longer pay attention to her favorite variety show right in front of her.

It felt as if something was missing.

What... was it?

The steaming mist and the babbling spring water had long blown away the girl’s modesty.

Being intimate with her boyfriend was, after all, something that came naturally.

So, Zhong Ruixi turned around, her fingers not forgetting to press pause, and wrapped herself around him.

She didn’t need to tiptoe like most girls; she just pulled the man’s neck close, tilted her chin up, and delivered a passionate underwater kiss.

A long, private, and utterly secure kiss.

And with a faint sweetness of alcohol.

In the past, Lu Jincheng’s hands wouldn’t have been so well-behaved, but having just eaten two spicy meals the day before, he now resembled a gentleman of utmost restraint.

He was exceptionally patient, slowly unraveling Zhong Ruixi.

He wasn’t in a rush.

Until a thin silver thread was left, the girl could no longer suppress her desires.

With Zhong Ruixi’s forthright personality, she wouldn’t play any games of pretense or hard-to-get with him.

After sensing Lu Jincheng’s deliberate teasing, she snorted, pushed his hand, and arched her waist upward.

"If you want to touch, then touch! You had the nerve the first time, so why pretend now? What a lecher!"

"Do you want me to touch?"

Lu Jincheng couldn’t help but curve his lips upward, whispering into her ear as his palm caressed her back, occasionally hooking the barely-there bikini.

"What, isn’t it okay?"

Zhong Ruixi tilted her head, having been blocked for a few minutes, and quickly gasped for air.

When the beauty invited, Lu Jincheng certainly wouldn’t disappoint.

He slid his hand beneath the colorful thin fabric covering her upper body, gently squeezing and pinching, eliciting an unprecedented moan.

Most tall girls are unlikely to have overly exaggerated chests.

That’s common knowledge according to statistics.

The physique of Yu Qingyue, nearly 170 cm tall with ample fruit, was beyond common knowledge, a lucky gift from heaven.

Zhong Ruixi was just enough to be covered by one hand, not too much, not too little, just right.

She didn’t refuse Mr. Lu’s evaluation, just blushed, continued to kiss him, and closed her eyes.

She followed a policy of non-resistance, so Mr. Lu could only continue to advance.

He rubbed the back of his hand on her lower abdomen, inching closer to the area around her hips.

But the man didn’t reach inside; he always stopped at the edge of the fabric.

"Hey! You..."

"That’s about... right."

Of course, it wasn’t really enough.

Lu Jincheng kept silent, quickly covered by a slippery layer in the bubbling spring water.

"Ah!"

Zhong Ruixi’s breaths grew more urgent by his ear, and the strength in the arms around his neck gradually faded as her focus moved entirely toward herself.

Lu Jincheng thoroughly enjoyed the intimacy of the moment.

Bai Yueguang’s healthy, tight body, filled with intense love, clung tight to his side, not to mention the tingling relief provided by the hot spring.

He leaned lazily against the edge of the pool, listening to the girl’s sweet voice occasionally resounding in his ear.

"Does it feel good?"

The man hooked Zhong Ruixi’s head with his hand, asking her with a smiling gaze.

"Mhm... it feels good."

Zhong Ruixi finished her sentence with a bright blush, her long eyelashes fluttering ceaselessly, tilting her head to catch the man’s lips.

But Lu Jincheng deliberately teased her, turning his head away to dodge.

This provoked Zhong Ruixi’s rebellious streak, and she reached out with both arms, only to grasp at air.

When she reached out again, she pressed right on the dark Summoning Bell at the edge of the pool.

A faint ding sound left Zhong Ruixi frozen.

After a few seconds, a waiter outside pushed the door and came in.

"No worries, no worries."

Lu Jincheng found himself caught between laughter and tears, turned around, and waved off the puzzled waiter, indicating that he’d hit the wrong button.

Looking back, Zhong Ruixi had turned away, her entire back flushed with embarrassment, stubbornly refusing to turn back around.

The man leaned closer and wrapped his arms around her waist, forcibly twisting her back to face him.

Zhong Ruixi buried her face in his chest, her little fists pounding him in a venting manner.

"Hmph!"

The girl wrapped her arms around his neck, her voice tearful as she complained, "What a crappy bell, so annoying!"

"It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s not appropriate here either."

Lu Jincheng smiled, letting her wriggle in his arms for quite a while before she calmed down, the impulsive feelings already largely faded.

"Let’s go back, no more soaking."

"Let’s go, let’s go, this is mortifying!"

Zhong Ruixi pushed away from his embrace and darted into the changing room.

Lu Jincheng also turned around to head back inside, getting dressed properly.

Ten minutes later, they were back on the electric bike, heading back to school.

On the way back, Zhong Ruixi didn’t say much, instead turning her head to gaze at the scenery.

Lu Jincheng knew very well that the situation just now had been a bit over the line for both of them.

It was an environment completely unsuitable for advancing bases, yet they’d almost taken it that far.

Even if Zhong Ruixi was forthright, she was still a girl new to dating.

If it hadn’t been for that little accident, if they hadn’t kept control...

The breeze blew, and she became much clearer-headed. On looking back, she couldn’t help but feel extremely embarrassed.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing."

Zhong Ruixi’s voice came from behind him, sounding a bit muffled.

"Not happy today?"

Upon hearing Lu Jincheng’s question, Zhong Ruixi snuggled closer, her hands wrapped around his waist gripping a little tighter.

"I’m very happy today. But..."

"But what?"

"But it feels a bit of a letdown."

"..."

Before Lu Jincheng could reply, she playfully asked another question.

"Does it feel bad?"

...

...

Maybe this is just human nature.

Despite having had a sumptuous meal, the next day one would still be hungry and want to eat again.

At eighteen, Mr. Lu was certainly a powerhouse of youthful energy.

He was indeed feeling rough.

So, he delivered Zhong Ruixi safely back to her dormitory and topped it off with a fervent kiss goodbye, promising to immediately contact the counselor, Guo Minjie, to sign up for the White Horse Cup inter-school debate competition as soon as possible.

Mr. Lu didn’t procrastinate; he was always swift and decisive in his actions.

Thus, he rode his electric bike against the wind, heading straight towards Shuguang Garden.

He was going to see the counselor.

"Drinking again?"

With three knocks on the door, Guo Minjie opened the door, frowning and looking disapprovingly at Lu Jincheng.

"Sake isn’t really alcohol."

Lu Jincheng stuck out his tongue, like an innocent sunshiny young man, put on a pair of oversized slippers, and walked into the room.

Guo Minjie verbally criticized his bad habits but didn’t stop moving, turning to pull a bottle of yogurt from the fridge in the kitchen and handing it to Lu Jincheng.

"See, wasn’t I right to come?"

"Right about what?"

"You don’t drink yogurt normally; isn’t it just for me to sober up?"

The young man teased, eyebrows raised, his expression smug as if he’d seen through the counselor’s little schemes.

"It’s great when I come slightly tipsy, saves you from wasting it."

"How did you know I don’t drink it; did you see it?"

Guo Minjie pursed her lips, utterly unconvinced.

"Of course, I know. You’re lactose intolerant; I tried to get you to drink yogurt last time and you wouldn’t agree no matter what."

"..."

Guo Minjie felt a tightness in her chest and couldn’t help but take a deep breath to calm herself, turning her head away.

"Oh right, I want to sign up for the White Horse Cup."

"It’s rare for you to participate in such activities. Are you signing up on your own?"

"Hmm... I’m teaming up with Zhong Ruixi from class two."

"I knew it, you’re not an early bird without a reason; it’s not due to any real interest."

Guo Minjie had an ’I knew it’ look, and reached up to tidy the hair at her temples.

At home, the counselor was dressed casually, in a floral two-piece pajama set, with only three buttons fastened on the top, and the parting of the garment faintly revealed her voluptuous shape.

The neckline was open, revealing a glimpse of snow-white skin, while the hem of the short sleeping dress couldn’t hide her smooth, fair legs.

"Xiao Jie, do you think I’d have a chance if I want to sponsor the White Horse Cup?"

Lu Jincheng blatantly scoped out the older sister figure while discussing the main topic.

"Sponsorship?"

Guo Minjie let out a stifled laugh, "The competition has just started registration, and you’re already thinking about using underhanded tactics?"

Having seen his methods and how he dealt with his ex-husband’s associates, Guo Minjie was rather familiar with the other side of Lu Jincheng.

"You really get me."

"Currently, there are a few sponsors in talks, but if you’re looking to get involved, you probably could."
