Chapter 267: 199. A dinner for three people

Lu Jincheng was caught off guard.

He had planned to go out for lunch with Zhou Sinin, delay until the afternoon to head over to Finance University, then seamlessly ask Guan Yongyi out for a date.

But life is just like that, plans never keep up with changes.

"Sure."

He could only play it by ear, nodding and smiling in agreement.

On their way, Zhou Sinin linked arms with him, chattering nonstop.

"You know, the roast goose rice at our school’s cafeteria is really delicious—you’ve got to try it later!"

"Didn’t you say last time that the clay pot rice was also a specialty? Which should I eat?"

"Eh? How about both, eat more."

"Zhou Sinin, do you think I’m a pig?"

"Yes, hehe~"

Even in the Finance University of Jiang City, where good-looking men and women abound, today’s Zhou Sinin stood out, attracting much attention.

The sunlight fell evenly on her pale skin, so delicate it seemed it could be broken with a mere touch. Many male students passing by couldn’t help but give her their focused attention.

Their gazes ended on her back, and the arm of the man she was holding.

And then their expressions darkened.

She’s taken, damn it!

It was the peak lunch hour at the Xiao Lake Garden cafeteria, and the place was bustling with people.

Yet Lu Jincheng only needed one glance to spot Guan Yongyi standing amid the crowd.

"Guan Guan!"

A few seconds later, Zhou Sinin also saw her. She tiptoed and waved with a joyful smile.

The chill of late November had already hidden itself in the gusts of wind.

Guan Yongyi had tidied up her short hair. From a distance, her features were hard to make out, but as she came closer, what caught the eye first was the heroic spirit that lingered between her brows.

She wore a simple turtleneck knit dress with a coffee-colored trench coat over it, and on her legs thin beige velvet stockings, stepping in a pair of season-appropriate flats.

The typical Southern girl’s winter attire.

Looking sharp.

"How long have you been waiting for us?"

"Just a few minutes; I’ve only just arrived at school myself."

Guan Yongyi pursed her lips, her gaze lingering on the arm Lu Jincheng was having held, her exquisite face still without much expression.

"Let’s go; I’ve snagged us a spot."

She took the opportunity when Zhou Sinin wasn’t paying attention to shoot Lu Jincheng a meaningful glance.

Upon arriving at Finance University, he was the guest.

There was no need for Mr. Lu to intervene during the food-picking process; Lu Jincheng sat obediently at the table, assuming the role of Sentinel.

Soon, the table was filled with an assortment of dishes.

"Here, got you an ice-cold Coke."

Guan Yongyi approached with a tray containing a bottle of his favorite Coca-Cola, and two cups of lemon black tea.

She bent slightly, placing the tray on the table. She glanced at Zhou Sinin’s location, used her body to shield her left hand, and created an angle that nobody else could see, pinching hard on Lu Jincheng’s waist.

"So you can’t walk on your own, need to hold onto someone else, do you!"

The short-haired girl lowered her voice, full of jealousy.

"No, I..."

Lu Jincheng started to explain but stopped short, noticing Zhou Sinin’s figure out of the corner of his eye and promptly blinked.

Guan Yongyi immediately got the hint.

She took two steps back, pondered for a few seconds, and chose to sit opposite Lu Jincheng at the four-person table.

"So many people were lining up for the roast goose rice today, I’m glad I finally got some~"

Zhou Sinin put the last plate in front of Lu Jincheng, habitually moving toward the empty seat next to Guan Yongyi, but halfway there, she turned around.

Things had changed.

No longer sitting side-by-side with her bestie, she instead sat beside Lu Jincheng, just like any other couple seen throughout the cafeteria.

Guan Yongyi’s expression was as usual, unwrapping her chopsticks indifferently, lashes cast down as she sipped her lemon black tea.

Even amidst the clamor of the cafeteria, that deliberate sip was audible.

"How was business on your opening day today?"

The short-haired girl quickly brought up a topic, and the three of them started to chat while eating.

"Not bad, met our expectations, everything went smoothly!"

"Good to hear! So does that mean we can enjoy Golden Stone Coffee when we hang out in Light Valley from now on?"

"Of course, no problem!"

As the conversation went on, Zhou Sinin suddenly seemed to remember something.

She picked up a piece of sausage from her clay pot rice with her chopsticks, held it aloft, and said to Lu Jincheng with a smile, "Open up; try this, it’s super delicious, the best in Xiao Lake Garden!"

With that, she leaned forward, moving her forearm, looking as though she was about to feed him herself.

"Umm, umm... just put it here."

Lu Jincheng, pretending not to have finished his current bite, pushed down Zhou Sinin’s arm, placing the sausage into his bowl.

This really wouldn’t do!

Handing over food was one thing, but trying to feed someone directly was out of line!

Fortunately, Guan Yongyi still maintained her above-standard emotional stability; perhaps she was just naturally composed.

She sat there quietly, watching the display of affection across the table while nibbling her food.

Noiseless, and with no change in her expression.

"Delicious, you should try my roast goose too."

Lu Jincheng quickly changed the subject, first eating the piece of roast meat, then mimicking the gesture to select a piece of goose, placing it on Zhou Sinin’s side.

Then, he carefully picked another piece for Guan Yongyi.

"Guan Guan, try this so you don’t complain about your sister being partial to love."

The lustrous, well-sized piece of roast goose found its way into Guan Yongyi’s bowl.

"Hmph."

The short-haired girl didn’t refuse. She twirled her chopsticks around the goose, pursed her lips, and said, "I never noticed before that she’s such a love-struck fool." freёweɓnovel_com

"I am not! How am I a love-struck fool?"
