Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!-Chapter 69 - 64. Stop talking!
Chapter 69: 64. Stop talking!
"Turn right at Building 6, this way, this way, on the third floor."
After leaving the Student Union, Lu Jincheng had just received a message for help from Guan Yongyi on WeChat.
She had purposely skipped her Civil Law class in the afternoon, seizing the opportunity when her roommates were gone, to move out of the dorm in one fell swoop.
The two places weren’t far apart, and since she didn’t have much stuff as a new student, Mr. Lu called up his roommates Liu Yisheng and Zhang Gaoqiang, plus Luo Lang from the studio, and the four men headed to Finance University, disassembling and moving out all of Guan Yongyi’s luggage.
In Jiangnan Garden, Building 6, Unit 2, on the third floor to the left was Guan Yongyi’s new home.
The short-haired girl led the way as the four guys, each carrying bags of belongings, moved into her three-bedroom, one-living room, finely decorated nest, beads of sweat on their foreheads.
"Just put it in the living room, I’ll sort it out later."
"Come on, everyone has a drink, thank you for your hard work."
Guan Yongyi had bought a bunch of drinks in advance and took them out of the fridge, handing them to the panting boys.
"Don’t mention it, sister-in-law, Brother Lu doesn’t usually ask us for help."
"It means that this time, she’s really one of our own."
Luo Lang, sitting at the edge of the sofa, took a big gulp and continued the conversation with a cheerful laugh.
His personality was naturally bright and after spending a lot of time in the studio, he was inevitably influenced by Lu Jincheng’s wild and unrestrained traits.
Moreover, seeing the private messages from beautiful girls backstage every day created an effect where he became unaffected by pretty girls’ charms.
Although Guan Yongyi was both thankful and offered drinks in a very courteous manner, she naturally carried a distant air around her that made it hard for ordinary people to even think of a topic to talk about.
In contrast to the other two stammering roommates, he not only joked with Guan Yongyi but also mustered up the courage to act as a wingman.
Of course, he knew that Lu Jincheng no longer had a girlfriend.
After all, when the boss was hitting on the senior girl, he even told me to close the door!
"Don’t talk nonsense, kid, she’s one of our own, but not the sister-in-law."
Lu Jincheng usually didn’t explain unless he really couldn’t help but want to laugh.
He looked at Guan Yongyi, who had a flush of embarrassment on her pretty face and seemed about to speak but stopped herself, trying to alleviate the awkwardness by lifting her cup to drink, with her other hand not knowing where to rest other than toying with the stray hairs by her ear, and found it especially fresh.
She was always emotionally steady in front of strangers, so it was interesting to see her shy away from this kind of joke!
"Right, she’s not."
Guan Yongyi nodded, her gaze fluttering, stubbornly not looking in the direction of Lu Jincheng.
"How about I treat everyone to dinner later? Xiao Longkan sound good?"
To avoid Lu Jincheng’s friends from continuing to say strange things, she quickly changed the subject.
Liu Yisheng and Zhang Gaoqiang on the sofa exchanged a glance, and Luo Lang decisively spoke up.
"Um, I have something tonight, so I won’t go."
As he spoke, he stealthily nudged Liu Yisheng with his elbow, the movement barely perceptible.
"Oh, right, Lao Zhang and I were just saying we have to go to Light Valley, so let Jin Cheng go as our dormitory’s representative, let him eat for us."
Liu Yisheng finally caught on and politely declined.
"Alright... What about you?"
Guan Yongyi looked up at Lu Jincheng.
"Let’s skip Xiao Longkan."
Lu Jincheng waved his hand off, cutting her off just as she was about to speak.
"You can’t handle spicy food, so don’t overdo it. Let’s go for crayfish instead."
Seeing that everyone was so considerate, he certainly couldn’t miss the opportunity for a private dinner.
...
...
Right under the apartment building was a Bright Steamed Shrimp.
After sending off the three workhorses, Guan Yongyi and Lu Jincheng sat facing each other, one plate with garlic flavor, another with spicy flavor, and a few bottles of "Pink Elephant" set aside.
She had also seen that Weibo post.
"Congratulations, from today on, you have escaped the bitter sea of communal living."
Lu Jincheng raised his glass with a smile, clinking it with hers, full of ceremonious vibe.
"Thanks."
Guan Yongyi also raised her glass, smiling lightly, her lips forming a beautiful curve, obviously in a good mood.
"But are your parents okay with you living alone?"
When alone with a girl, Mr. Lu’s topics were always quick and on point.
It was all social intuition, honed little by little.
First, I resonated with Guan Guan’s joy, and then cleverly transitioned to the next topic, letting her reveal more about herself.
Those who appear aloof on the surface often have a passionate heart, the key is whether you can find the key to unlock her heart.
"Of course I don’t feel secure!"
And with that, Lu Jincheng had opened up the conversation, the short-haired girl took another big gulp and her lips puckered slightly: "Luckily my family trusts Si Si quite a bit."
"I told my mom that Si Si would come stay with me every now and then, and only then did she agree."
"So she’s your tool person, huh!"
Lu Jincheng laughed.
"Don’t make it sound so ugly! She’s clearly my shield, okay?"
Guan Yongyi, who was originally resting her cheek in her hand, gave him a sharp look upon hearing this and reached for the disposable gloves beside her.
"By the way, are you going to continue writing songs for the seniors?"
This was the first time the two of them had dined together, and the initially mild atmosphere was broken by Lu Jincheng, with the remaining conversation flowing naturally.
Guan Yongyi also brought up topics of her own interest, her beautiful eyes intently watching the man opposite her.
"I’ve looked at Pei Pei’s work recently, not bad, maybe they won’t need me anymore."
Lu Jincheng peels a spicy-tasting Xiao Longkan shrimp and places it into Guan Yongyi’s bowl.
"Here, try this, it’s not too spicy."
"I see."
Guan Yongyi purses her lips, as if she wants to say something, but then hesitates.
But these subtle changes in expression were caught by Mr. Lu.
The man’s eyebrows raise playfully, teasingly asking, "What’s up?"
"Do you like my... songs?"
After the first three words, he deliberately elongated the tone.
"Uh."
The short-haired girl’s voice falters: "Not really, they’re okay, I guess."
She’s such a tough-tsundere to crack!
Lu Jincheng almost laughed out loud in his heart, finding it particularly amusing.
"I’ve discovered that you are quite an interesting person."
"Why?"
Guan Yongyi looks down, her pale and slender fingers fluttering, seriously peeling the shrimp in her hands.
Her movements were slow, and despite wearing disposable gloves, she only used her thumb and index finger, with her other fingers elegantly lifted into the air.
"A bit tsundere, with some contrasting traits."
Lu Jincheng teased.
"You obviously really like my songs, why can’t you just admit it openly?"
"Who said I liked them?"
Guan Yongyi’s voice was soft, she dryly said: "They just happened to come up on my daily recommendations a few times."
"Oh, really?"
Lu Jincheng inquired.
"Yeah, what else would it be?"
Guan Yongyi kept a straight face, bending her hand to rub her nose.
"Some people are really stubborn."
"If I hadn’t visited your dorm, I might have been deceived by you."
Lu Jincheng’s lips curled into a half-smile as he looked at her and delivered a finishing blow.
"Last time when I helped you move the speakers, your computer screen happened to be on Cloud Music, and I remembered your ID."
Guan Yongyi’s eyes shone from the backlight, her eyelashes drooped, and her pupils suddenly dilated.
"In the past seven days, you’ve listened to my songs over and over 426 times, and you’re still saying you don’t like them?"
"Stop!"
She halted her peeling, her head shot up, and the blush on her cheeks spread rapidly.
"Don’t say anymore!"
The man’s question was actually an affirmation.
She found she couldn’t look directly into Lu Jincheng’s eyes, and at some point, the pincers of the shrimp in her hand had become misplaced,
piercing a drop of fresh blood from her fingertip.
