Where there are women, there are rivaries.
Who doesn’t have little tricks up their sleeve!
"I certainly don’t mean that."
Zhong Ruixi pouted and shook her head.
She wasn’t a princess with a temperament nor was she an unreasonable girl.
When Lu Jincheng said that, she felt a bit guilty and wrapped her arm around his again, pursing her lips tightly.
"Forget it, just keep your distance, I trust you."
She knew that Mou Keyan was a pillar of Golden Stone.
How could he just be fired on a whim?
As for flaunting their love in front of her with Lu Jincheng...
In that regard, Zhong Ruixi had no objections.
The couple used to walk arm in arm and hold hands at school, just like any other couple, without any hesitation about body contact. For more chapters visit novel fire.net
Now both their dorm mates knew, and they would often jest and tease in the WeChat group of eight.
But after all, Zhong Ruixi was not the type to show off their love in front of others.
That would be trying too hard!
But a chance encounter would be okay.
She just hadn’t run into Mou Keyan at school with Lu Jincheng before, otherwise...
Mr. Lu was indeed exceptional at charming girls.
The quick recovery of Zhong Ruixi’s smile wasn’t only because of her straightforward personality and her tendency to speak her mind.
He was always quick to identify underlying emotions in others’ words and reacted appropriately, blocking moves and covering tracks.
After enjoying a small hotpot meal with Zhong Ruixi and taking a stroll to help digest, Lu Jincheng walked her back to her dorm.
Wandering through the college campus with a girl he liked was the most youthful thing to do.
If one could have two doses of youth like Mr. Lu, it would be even better.
He had just taken a walk around Nanhu University and felt somewhat reluctant to leave.
So he took a turn and went next door.
"Wait, you ask for gifts back after you give them out?"
On the Finance University campus, downstairs from the dorms of the freshman finance majors.
Zhou Sinin stood in front of a man, a beam of light slanting across her face from the ceiling, casting a soft glow on her fair skin.
She crossed her arms, smiling yet not smiling, her eyes brimming with emotion as she looked at Lu Jincheng.
"The staff made a mistake, I’ve already scolded them harshly..."
Lu Jincheng reiterated the excuse he had prepared, his gaze sincere.
"Okay, okay, I’ll go get it. Wait for me, yeah!"
Zhou Sinin spread her hands and clattered back upstairs in her sneakers.
Minutes later, Lu Jincheng had an unopened uniform in his hands.
Luckily, the little princess had too many clothes and often struggled to choose an outfit. This set from All Dreams was still in the wardrobe, unworn.
Now he could explain himself.
"Did you receive the email I sent back?"
They strolled around the Finance University campus, stepping with an uneven gait, the noon breeze gentle.
The earthly beauty was autumnal, November in Jiang City thick with autumn spirit, plane leaves yellow, and reeds also yellow.
In the chilly autumn wind, a touch of sunlight made one feel entirely relaxed.
"Yes, I received it. I’ve already arranged for someone to discuss the position you suggested."
Lu Jincheng turned his head, admiring her closely while praising.
She wore a youthfully styled solid-colored sweatshirt and form-fitting trousers, with a pair of versatile Air Force 1s on her feet.
The off-white and red matched well with her upper body.
It was a typical college girl outfit, yet it perfectly showcased her impeccable figure, waist-to-hip ratio, long legs, highlighting all the flattering parts, both coquettish and sweet.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Noticing the boy beside her slowing down, his gaze fixed on her, Zhou Sinin’s pretty face flushed, stopping in her tracks.
"There is something."
Lu Jincheng said earnestly.
She had checked herself in the mirror before leaving.
She instinctively reached for a small mirror in her handbag, only then remembering she hadn’t brought her bag.
"It’s a bit beautiful."
Zhou Sinin paused, then realized what he meant, turning her head embarrassedly.
Such a cheesy pickup line!
"Come on, can’t you learn some new tricks?"
Though she said this, strangely, she still felt delighted inside.
"Should I try another?"
Usually, if a girl pointed out cheesy pickup lines face to face, a guy would either be embarrassed or awkward, and probably wouldn’t use them anymore.
Lu Jincheng seemed totally unfazed, just smiling as he responded.
"This is the back of my hand."
Lu Jincheng stepped closer and pointed to his right hand near Zhou Sinin.
"This is the back of my foot."
Following that, he pointed downwards at his shoes.
Pausing rhythmically, Zhou Sinin’s peach blossom eyes blinked nonstop, waiting for his next words.
In the next second, Lu Jincheng patted her shoulder, smiling.
She lifted her chin, her brown hair cascading beside her face, complementing her exquisite features.
Her complaint was quiet, but the dimples by her mouth lightly rippled.
