Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!-Chapter 67 - 62. Late and Not Late

Mou Keyan was late.

She slowly opened her eyes, only to feel a spreading soreness from her waist to her back and the inner thighs, as if she had run a full marathon the night before.

So tired, both mentally and physically, so exhausted.

Mou Keyan struggled to sit up from the bed, looked around, and the empty bedroom was exceptionally quiet, making her feel suddenly missing something.

No sound from the bathroom, nor from the living room.

Where was Lu Jincheng?

Where had he gone?

Had he... already left?

She reached for the wristwatch on the bedside table, turned it over, and it showed almost nine-thirty.

Maybe he went to class.

After all, freshman year has the most early morning classes.

She automatically made excuses for Lu Jincheng’s disappearance, clenched the hair behind her ears, tied it high, picked up the long skirt and clothing from the corner, and frowned as she put them on.

Oh... it hurts!

In the corner of her eye, the newly bought four-piece set was incredibly messy, much like her mixed feelings.

The long night was still fresh in Mou Keyan’s memory.

To transform and dance with the wind invariably comes with pain.

This, every girl knows all too well.

But she had been dancing for over a decade, with top physical fitness, flexibility, and stress resistance, yet she nearly couldn’t endure.

The completion of this dance was thanks to the coach who guided her hand by hand.

She stood still, stretched her leg high towards the sky in a vertical pose, the coach’s expression one of surprise.

She was held by the arms, performing an elegant butterfly, the coach applying pressure on his hands.

She clenched her teeth, took a deep breath of cold air, the coach left two words.

Endure.

Tears in her eyes wanted to give up, but the coach just shook his head.

The dance wasn’t over.

The music hadn’t ended.

....

No matter her reaction, the man remained unmoved, patiently polishing the raw jade in his hands.

Finally, she managed to dance till the end, seeing the other side of the sea.

What did that feel like?

It was as if fireworks rose in her mind simultaneously, a moment of brilliant stars;

Or as if a flash flood erupted from level ground, overwhelmed by a row of giant waves;

Or maybe like a sudden burst of white light at night, leaving her crying, sneezing, and laughing all at once.

A top-notch expert with a meticulous artisan spirit, offering an exquisite peak experience, brought extreme joy and pleasure.

So, when she woke up and found no one around, she felt such a loss.

The quiet after the frenzy magnified her current loneliness.

The air still brimmed with fresh intimacy, and she eagerly looked towards the living room like a cat waiting for its owner to pet her.

It wasn’t until she had put on all her clothes, picked up her phone, and shuffled out of the bedroom in slippers that she confirmed Lu Jincheng wasn’t there.

"Huh?"

On the living room dining table, a small bag with an M logo was truly eye-catching.

Inside was a cup of soy milk, a pack of hash browns, and a ham burger.

Mou Keyan seemed to realize something.

She picked up her phone, scrolled through a pile of unread WeChats, found Lu Jincheng’s name, long pressed it to pin to the top, then opened the message.

[Didn’t want to wake you, left breakfast on the table.]

After breakfast, she cleaned the room, changed the bedsheets.

Even as she walked out of the Jiangnan Garden, Mou Keyan’s smile still hung on her lips.

The wind gently nibbled at the arteries of summer, peering into her eyes to see a sea of lush green.

....

....

"Miao Miao, not feeling well today?"

In the dance studio, the professional teacher looked at her dearest student with concern.

Mou Keyan was more than an hour late, unprecedented for her passion for dancing.

"Yeah."

The girl nodded her head, her face showing a bit of bashfulness.

"Okay, then take it easy today, don’t lead the dance, Xiao Jiang! Your turn."

The female teacher waved at Jiang Yu, took a sip of hot water from her thermos.

Jiang Yu moved to the front row, placed her right leg on the bar, left arm touching her face, pushing her cheek toward her thigh.

"Let’s start with leg stretching."

"One, two, three, four!"

When Jiang Yu counted to two, Mou Keyan couldn’t help but inhale sharply, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.

Ss!

The tingling sensation in the inner thigh almost burrowed into her heart, not to mention the accompanying back pain. How was she supposed to keep dancing?

Her movements shrank in scale as she tried to sneak around.

"Miao Miao! What are you doing, follow along~"

Jiang Yu raised her eyebrows at her, meaningful.

"...."

Mou Keyan bit her teeth, bowed her head, and tried to stretch forward, but she, who was usually the best at basics, found her legs wouldn’t obey her.

She had to take a leave.

She couldn’t continue the class.

She walked toward the nearby dance teacher, arm in arm, acting coquettishly.

"Okay, you go back and rest first; no need to force yourself."

The teacher cheerfully approved her leave.

However, before leaving, the looks from her roommates and classmates almost made Mou Keyan want to dig a hole and bury herself.

Many students in the dance department were experienced in studying physiques.

With a bit of experience, it wasn’t hard to see that today’s Mou Keyan looked nourished, her cheeks were rosy, her complexion radiant, and even her walk carried a hint of allure.

Was she comfortable at all?

Perhaps she knew best herself.

....

....

Early eight o’clock, at building 10, in the tiered lecture hall.

Lu Jincheng wasn’t late.

But he arrived just in time for class.

In a crowded "Principles of Management" course, the only available seat was in the last row.

University was unlike high school; attendance was all that mattered, no one cared if you listened or not.

At that moment, a few guys huddled in the last row were whispering.

"What do you think, Lao Lu was up to last night?"

The three brothers from dorm 603 sat together, and Zhang Gaoqiang leaned in and whispered softly.

"Definitely not an all-nighter at the internet cafe."

Qiang Zhihao sat in the middle, sizing up Lu Jincheng through the reflection on the window.

"How do you know?"

Zhang Gaoqiang was curious.

"Use your brain, Lao Zhang! Look at him, does he look like he spent all night at an internet cafe, all greasy with messy hair?"

Liu Yisheng patted Zhang Gaoqiang on the back and said.

"Fuck, could he have been with some girl...?"

It took a moment for Zhang Gaoqiang to realize, and together with the other two, they plunged into long, absurd musings.

On the way back to the dormitory after class, Lu Jincheng was surrounded by his roommates.

"Lao Lu, what were you up to last night?"

"You were dead to the dorm chat, weren’t you?"

"Don’t even try to fool us into thinking you went to the internet cafe all night; we’ve already analyzed it!"

The three brothers interrogated Lu Jincheng like a machine gun.

"Fuck me?"

Lu Jincheng laughed and punched each of them lightly: "Are you guys losing it? You’re questioning me now?"

"Last night I had some work stuff to plan with Senior Sister, I didn’t have time to come back."

He spread his hands, symbolically answering his roommates’ questions.

"Senior Sister?"

"Work?"

Liu Yisheng and Zhang Gaoqiang asked simultaneously.

"Yeah, the studio signed her, planning to make her some money, let her contribute."

Lu Jincheng spoke lightly, but his roommates were swept away by his casual confidence.

What do you mean by arranging for her to make some money?

Was it really possible for someone to just make money because you arranged it?

No, the main issue was, Mou Keyan didn’t return all night!

"You two... neither of you went back last night?"

Hearing about the goddess Senior Sister Mou, even Qiang Zhihao couldn’t help but ask.

"You guys look fucking sleazy right now!"

"It’s all for work; don’t act like you’ve never seen the world."

Lu Jincheng laughed and scolded. freewёbnoνel.com

"Fuck, Lao Lu, you’re buying at the cafeteria today!"

"Absolutely, it’s your treat."
