Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!-Chapter 291 - 217. Who says it’s winter now?

Winter, milk tea shop, young couple.

College romance for most students revolves around their immediate surroundings.

Especially the freshmen.

Having just been liberated from the exhausting life of their senior year in high school, everything seems fresh, as their threshold is quite low.

They often indulge in simple pleasures, happy to immerse themselves in new experiences.

Queuing up for canteen fast food, holding hands while strolling by the lake, watching stars side by side on the sports field...

What might seem trivial to adults, even though it doesn’t cost much money.

Lu Jincheng was just a companion, filling a small part of her daily life with his time, and Zhong Ruixi was just as thrilled.

But it was also precisely because of this.

The steady stream of small dates, little surprises, laid a solid foundation for a close relationship.

After all, for Mr. Lu, his most precious gift was time.

Perhaps many people believe that making money is the bottom line.

But for someone reborn, wealth is the least important thing on the value ladder.

It was bound to come sooner or later.

Instead of focusing his energy on his career in the short term, making money rapidly, earning a social status even more dazzling than in his previous life, surrounded by luxury cars and beautiful women, with flowers blooming all along the way...

He enjoyed everything at the moment even more.

He’d rather squander his eighteen-year-old life, frivolously spending time with the girls around him.

Isn’t youth meant to be spent recklessly?

Soon, the bottoms of both milk tea cups were visible, and the two walked out of the milk tea shop hand in hand.

"Hey."

As soon as they stepped out, Zhong Ruixi turned around, her eyes ablaze with the fierce fire of gossip.

"Do you think they went back to their dorm just now?"

"...Probably?"

Lu Jincheng blinked.

"Otherwise, could Liu Yisheng be pulling your roommate out for a date?"

"What if?"

Zhong Ruixi’s lips curled slightly as she whispered in his ear.

"I really think Liu Yisheng likes Jia Jia."

"Oh, really?"

Lu Jincheng continued with the topic.

His body had returned to his freshman year, and he was trying his best to integrate into that youthful mindset.

However, in this regard, Mr. Lu was still unable to conform, to think on the same level as other naive college students.

Even though he and Liu Yisheng had gotten along well in his past life, and he even shared some chat-up tips during the first month of school in the dormitory...

He actually had no interest whatsoever in his roommate’s romantic progress.

Scenarios like returning reborn to bond with roommates as brothers, cheerfully calling each other "father and son," and becoming an advisor in romantic pursuits, weren’t exactly realistic.

At least Mr. Lu couldn’t do such things.

Whether it was Liu Yisheng and Ni Jiayun or Qiang Zhihao and Jiang Yu, no matter how much the other roommates gossiped, Mr. Lu would just pretend to listen, mostly staying silent.

What do your pursuits have to do with me?

Why should I teach you when you can’t even open your mouth without help?

Even the most commonplace love lessons cost money!

Moreover, Mr. Lu was a top-notch practitioner through and through. An occasional theoretical chat didn’t bother him, but he truly had no interest in wasting time coaching novices.

Even if he saw Qiang Zhihao being taken for a ride by the high-maintenance ’green tea’ senior Jiang Yu, he wouldn’t take the initiative to warn him.

Some things can only be understood through personal experience.

A fool for love only wakes up after being heartbroken.

Let go of the savior complex, respect others’ destinies.

Those immersed in their own rose-tinted bubbles, if a bystander can’t stand it and reaches out to burst it, they might even get scolded for their trouble!

Mature adults focus on themselves and certainly don’t waste energy on others’ emotional troubles.

"Right, they got along pretty well at the start of the school year, Jia Jia had a good impression of him too, just recently I don’t know why..."

The cool evening breeze gently swept past as Zhong Ruixi clasped Lu Jincheng’s large hand and tucked it into his windbreaker pocket together.

"So seeing your roommate signed up for the debate competition, he also registered?"

"Maybe, I don’t know."

Zhong Ruixi stuck out her tongue, quickening her steps, her fragmented hair rippling through the night.

"Well, that really... has something."

Lu Jincheng was momentarily at a loss for words.

"We all talk about it in the dorm, we feel that the two of them are quite a match."

Zhong Ruixi inquired.

"What good is being suitable?"

Lu Jincheng dismissed it with a scoff.

"I bet not a single guy in our class thinks we’re suitable together, what do you think?"

"Hahahaha... you’re right, liking each other is what matters most, being suitable can’t compare to me being willing."

Zhong Ruixi’s voice rippled up and down, high and low, as she trod on the soft pebbles on the lakeside path, as if immersed in joy.

"But you’re not being entirely fair, aside from Pan Xuan, Tan Huilin also secretly messaged me several times, saying we’re suitable!"

"They’ve received the company’s bonus."

"You’re so annoying!"

Zhong Ruixi pouted, squeezing her hand in her pocket.

Winter wasn’t suitable for long walks.

The two only walked a few laps around the path before heading towards the direction of the dormitory.

Beneath the familiar Management College girls’ dormitory building, the leaves had already fallen clean, and the branches swayed uncertainly.

"I’m going back~"

Zhong Ruixi stood at the entrance of the corridor, pulled her hand out, turned around, and opened her arms.

She plunged into Lu Jincheng’s embrace.

"Okay."

"You remember what you promised me, right?"

Zhong Ruixi whispered into the man’s ear, her breath fragrance.

"Practice hard, guarantee to make it through, strive for first place."

"Nothing but smooth talk!"

"And do you remember what you promised me?"

Lu Jincheng lifted the hands that hugged him from behind, shaking Zhong Ruixi’s ponytail.

"Eh? Did I promise you anything?"

Zhong Ruixi tilted her head, her watery eyes blinking.

"Then I won’t practice."

"No, no, no, I was just teasing you, I’ll send you an old photo later, okay?"

"Fine, I’ll forgive you reluctantly."

Lu Jincheng took his chance to step down.

"It has to be meaningful."

"Meaningful? I know! I’ll send you a selfie from our Chinese class."

"Oh... that was the day you got punished to stand, and you were playing with your phone, weren’t you?"

"You remember that?"

The night sky was clear and bright, Zhong Ruixi’s eyes wide with surprise.

"Yeah, I also remember that day he was recommending us the must-read books, he had just mentioned ’Jane Eyre’, and you were called out."

"Only you would remember so well! Okay, okay, I’m going back now."

Zhong Ruixi pursed her lips, they had embraced for too long, and many fellow students were casting glances, their faces smiling as she gently pushed him.

"Alright, have a good night."

Lu Jincheng gently pecked her cheek, releasing his arms from around her and turned his head, whispering softly with reluctance.

"Who says it’s winter now?"

Unexpectedly, Zhong Ruixi pulled him back, burying herself into the man’s embrace once more.

She lifted her chin, her starry eyes lighting up.

In a clear voice that echoed among the evening stars, she said,

"When you are by my side, I feel as if flowers are blooming everywhere, and birds are singing and cicadas are chirping."

...

All this time, she had been listening in that class.
