Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!-Chapter 277 - 206. Cunning and Scheming Bestie

Jiangnan Garden, Building No. 6.

The large TV was playing the latest episode of "Strange Talk," and the coffee table was filled with fruits, snacks, and duck delicacies. Two distinctly styled beautiful young girls sat together, chatting and eating.

Happiness had never been so simple.

"I suddenly realized that watching debate programs is actually quite interesting," Zhou Sinin said, holding a duck neck with her left hand. Her cheeks were reddened from the spice, and beads of sweat occasionally appeared at the tip of her nose. She stuck out a bit of her tongue, fanning it back and forth with her hand.

"Indeed," replied the short-haired beauty Guan Guan, holding a box of cut dragon fruit. She picked up piece after piece with a small fork and fed them into her mouth.

"I used to think it was just a bunch of people arguing and boring, but after watching it, I realized that the world is diverse, with many perspectives intertwining and clashing with each other."

"The debaters all have their brilliant moments; after listening to the affirmative side, I feel they are impressive; after hearing the negative side, I think they are also excellent," Zhou Sinin said, narrowing her eyes earnestly.

"Right, they deconstruct the topic in their own way, bringing us into their sphere of thought, walking us through their logic. Such programs really have a lot to teach us law students," Guan Yongyi nodded, leaned over, and picked out a relatively mild duck neck from the snacks to eat.

"Eh? Didn’t Lu Jincheng say he’s going to participate in the White Horse Cup debate contest? I wonder if he can make it through. How about we go and watch his competition?" Zhou Sinin wiped her mouth, took off her gloves, and pulled open the Coke tab that was placed to the side, taking a big gulp.

"Oh~~~"

Guan Yongyi turned her head, giving her best friend a meaningful look.

"What’s the matter? Why are you looking at me with that kind of expression?" Zhou Sinin blinked her eyes, stretched lazily on the sofa, and casually placed a pair of slender, fair legs on the edge of the coffee table.

"Speaking of which, I have to give you a heads-up," Guan Yongyi cleared her throat, lowered her voice, and moved closer to Zhou Sinin.

"Warn me about what?"

"Did you notice a detail when Lu Jincheng was explaining tonight?"

"Huh?" Zhou Sinin stopped reaching for the snacks, straightened up, and shook her head.

"You, you are so love-struck that you didn’t catch the loophole in his words," Guan Yongyi crossed her arms, looking all too confident.

"Loophole?"

"Do you remember the question I asked on your behalf?" Guan Yongyi continued with an unmoved expression.

"You asked him if his teammate was a boy or a girl."

"Right, do you remember what he said? He said the other two weren’t certain yet, but the one he called was a girl," Guan Yongyi was like a detective observing from the sidelines, earnestly strategizing for her best friend, with her expression full of genuine concern.

"...Yeah, yeah."

Zhou Sinin, equally intelligent, got the point immediately.

She didn’t even need Guan Yongyi to spell it out too clearly; upon reflecting, she too spotted the inconsistency.

No wonder Guan Guan had to ask that specific question!

It indeed didn’t add up...

"See? But you just had to be soft, quickly changing the subject to things like nicknames in WeChat, all inconsequential stuff."

"He pulled you off-topic, didn’t he?" Guan Yongyi pursed her lips, pointing a finger through her silky nightgown and poking her best friend’s thigh with an exasperated look.

"Ah ah ah ah ah! Why didn’t you remind me!"

Zhou Sinin pouted her lips, annoyed, and slapped her thigh following her friend.

Even if Mr. Lu could react as smoothly as in a textbook, it was impossible for him to cover every single detail without slip-ups.

Coming up with a perfect plan in just a few seconds is impossible.

It’s practically inhuman.

Logically, it just doesn’t make sense!

After hanging up the phone, he made sure to say it so that the two girls in front of him could hear.

——The female member of the debate team had asked him when they would practice that evening.

This, stemming from concern for the competition, wasn’t inherently problematic.

But as a member of the team, he didn’t even know the personal information of the other two teammates!

With enough focus, under basic logical reasoning, it wasn’t hard to come to a conclusion.

This four-person debate team had never met each other, so Lu Jincheng and the female teammate must have known each other beforehand.

As everyone knows, training requires four people, and from an efficiency standpoint, it’s entirely possible to create a small group chat and coordinate specific times online.

So the significance of this late-night phone call...

Was it really just about training, as he said?

"How do I remind you? These are just guesses from a logical reasoning perspective. What if it is just as he said?"

Guan Yongyi also stretched out her legs, resting them on the right corner of the coffee table, maintaining a parallel position with her close friend beside her.

She added one more thing.

"Moreover, I think it’s best not to get jealous over such a small matter; misunderstanding someone could easily affect your relationship."

"But I feel like what you said makes sense..."

Zhou Sinin bit her lower lip, her watery eyes looking toward the short-haired girl.

"Making sense is useless. What can you do about it? It’s all speculation. Even if he and his female teammate have a bit of an affair, can you stop them from competing? Or are you going to watch their training every day?"

"Stop joking, that’s totally unreasonable."

Guan Yongyi became more animated as she spoke, eventually allowing her eyebrows and eyes to curve gently upwards in unison, drawing a soft arc.

"What are you laughing at! What if, like you said, there really is something ambiguous going on?"

"I’m not laughing. I’m thinking of a plan, and it seems kind of interesting."

The final round of the debate on "Strange Talk" ended, and Guan Yongyi pointed at the star debater dominating the screen on TV, signaling to her close friend beside her.

"Si si, don’t you think Zhan Qingyun is really handsome?"

"He is handsome, but focus! The plan? The plan!"

Zhou Sinin fluttered her long eyelashes, her voice filled with curiosity as she drew out the word.

"The plan is to ask Professor Li for help in forming a team within the Law School to also compete for the White Horse Cup."

Guan Yongyi put her arm around her friend’s shoulder, her eyes sparkling brilliantly under the incandescent light.

"Huh?"

"There’s no rush for the tri-school competition; I’ll take action."

"..."

Zhou Sinin fell into thought, understanding the implication of her words.

"Their fate is to be eliminated in the first round. When the time comes, I’ll ascertain what’s really going on. If there’s really a problem between him and his teammate, I’ll mercilessly mock them a few times during the competition to vent for you."

Guan Yongyi’s mouth clearly struggled to suppress a smile, her tone containing a hint of anticipation.

"Wow! This could actually work!"

Zhou Sinin’s eyes widened suddenly, contemplating her sister’s words. It was indeed feasible!

On the debate stage, opponents are judged by verbal jousting, where mutual taunting is pretty standard.

What caliber of a team could Guan Yongyi pull together?

They would be the elite of the Law School!

It can be said that there is almost no chance of losing.

Not only could they slap them hard in the competition, they could also snuff out that little flame right in the cradle.

"Then I’ll leave it to you! The perceptive Guan Yongyi with the golden eye!"
