Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!-Chapter 330 - 247. Couples on Christmas Eve
Chapter 330: 247. Couples on Christmas Eve
On Christmas Eve night, Nanhu University was enveloped in romantic lights, creating a festive atmosphere even in the most deserted corners.
"Merry Merry Christmas, Lonely Lonely Christmas
Wish to send my greetings but don’t know to whom
Love has become a dead knot for us~"
The campus radio station was no exception, looping a single song, Eason Chan’s "Christmas Knot."
It was incredibly fitting for the occasion, and no listener could complain.
"Teacher Guo said it’s okay, should we go back and change our clothes?"
Backstage, Lu Jincheng leaned against the door, smiling as he surveyed his teammates’ outfits.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! It’s weird taking photos in this! Jia Jia and I will go back to change first."
Zhong Ruixi’s eyes lit up, and she nodded, pulling Ni Jiayun away from backstage.
Everyone was dressed in suits and leather shoes for the competition, wearing old-fashioned uniforms.
It wouldn’t matter on a regular dinner outing, but on Christmas Eve, a night filled with ritual, it greatly affected the quality of photographs.
"Lao Lu, where are we going to eat?"
The boys changed much quicker, not even taking ten minutes.
Liu Yisheng, while fixing his hair in the mirror, asked cheerfully.
"Let’s head to Light Valley. It’s close, and after dinner, it won’t delay your date with Ni Jiayun."
Lu Jincheng put on a long thin down jacket, looking fresh, tall, and handsome.
He held his roommate back from the mirror, squeezing a gap to wrap a light beige wool scarf around him.
It was not the one Zhou Sinin had given him.
His awareness to avoid risks had long been ingrained in his blood.
Before they left, he patted his forehead, paused, and picked out two different shaped gift boxes from the table, as if he remembered something.
"Brother Lu, is this... the holiday gift you prepared for Zhong Ruixi?"
Liu Yisheng watched his roommate’s movements, glanced at the other gift boxes on the table, and blinked involuntarily.
The room was empty except for the two of them, and anyone with a bit of sense would guess that the other roommates had gone to celebrate.
Holiday gifts were naturally part of the holiday.
"Yeah."
Lu Jincheng affirmed.
"That’s a lot..."
Liu Yisheng couldn’t help but admire Mr. Lu’s generosity.
"Gifts should reciprocate, there are other friends too."
"Brother Lu, Christmas is tomorrow, should I also give Ni Jiayun a gift? But I’m really worried she might not accept it."
The two locked the door and walked out of the dormitory, Liu Yisheng asked quietly.
"Leaving aside whether she accepts it or not, I’ll ask you a simple question," Mr. Lu said with a smile.
He usually had little interest in other people’s romantic stories, but throughout the debate competition, Liu Yisheng really worked hard.
A couple of casual pieces of advice wouldn’t hurt.
"What do you mean?"
"If you were Ni Jiayun, and when you returned to your room, you saw everyone else’s desks filled with flowers and gifts and you stood there empty-handed and downcast, wouldn’t you feel a bit envious?"
"... I get it, Brother Lu, I should still give the gift!"
Liu Yisheng stayed silent for a few seconds, then his face lit up with sudden comprehension.
Everything is relative.
In a circle where everyone is happily showing off beautiful moments in nine squares on social media during a joyful and festive Christmas Eve, having nothing can indeed make one feel a bit left out.
"Just find a good excuse to give it generously, like appreciating the effort we’ve put in together, or acknowledging that training for the team is hard work; in any case, wish her a happy holiday," Lu Jincheng added.
"Don’t pick something too expensive or romantic; some things aren’t suitable for you yet."
"The key to giving gifts is to make the recipient feel your sincerity while also feeling comfortable. Remember not to pressure them if the relationship isn’t there yet, just gauge it yourself."
China has always been a country of etiquette, where reciprocating gifts is traditional.
Allowing someone to happily accept a gift and your good wishes is an art in itself.
"I learned something new again, Brother Lu really knows more."
"Let’s go, they should be almost done changing."
The two walked along the dorm path toward another direction, Liu Yisheng’s smile never faded.
"Damn? A Range Rover..."
His smile quickly froze.
Mr. Lu pulled him towards the parking lot, casually pressed the car key, and the lights of a black Range Rover lit up nearby. Liu Yisheng’s eyes widened in astonishment.
"Brother Lu, is this your new car?"
"Yeah, not exactly new, I’ve had it for quite a while."
Lu Jincheng unconcernedly opened the trunk, checked the things his assistant had prepared inside, placed the gift boxes in, and closed it with satisfaction.
"That must be worth millions, right?"
Liu Yisheng opened the passenger door and carefully got inside.
Coming from a well-to-do family and being a boy, although he couldn’t recite top luxury car brands by heart, he was aware of the price of a Range Rover.
"You usually park it here? That’s too damn low-profile..."
Once inside the car, Liu Yisheng was immediately overwhelmed by the aura of wealth.
As a roommate, he knew Mr. Lu was not short of money.
Not only did he have numerous beautiful and money-making subordinates, he was also generous, sponsoring the freshman welcome party and supporting the White Horse Cup.
But for a student, hearsay of company profits could never compare to the shock of seeing a boss drive a million-dollar luxury car.
Moreover...
In contrast, Qiang Zhihao, who typically flaunted his BMW Series 3 by hanging the keys on his waist, seemed like a clown.
An absolute clown.
You boast about your BMW worth a few hundred thousand parked downstairs every day while Lu Jincheng’s Range Rover worth over a million sits quietly in the parking lot without a word!
