Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets! Chapter 399 - 298. Excellent men are like stars

The doorbell went unanswered.

Mom was indeed not at ho.

Zhou Sinin fished out her keys from her backpack, unlocked the door, crouched down to find her slippers in the shoe cabinet, and tossed her bag into the sofa.

The sun was setting as she returned to her own room and changed into a light blue silk pajama set.

Finally, she could find a corner to space out in.

She exhaled deeply and sprawled across the huge Boll & Branch mattress, staring blankly at the vast expanse of the white ceiling.

Below the hem of her pajama top, her slender and delicate ankles were exposed, revealing only the alluring curves of her insteps.

When she was alone, her emotions truly couldn’t be restrained and surged tumultuously.

She lay on the side of the bed wanting to cry but couldn’t, finding it funny yet unable to laugh.

Blocking him...

Did that an she had broken up with Lu Jincheng?

It was her first-ever relationship; she hardly had any concept of a breakup.

Taking out her phone again, she saw the bold, pinned chat disappear from WeChat and couldn’t help feeling dazzled.

Just yesterday, she was happily snuggling in her lover’s arms, imagining where to go on their last day together.

How did it co to this?

Wasn’t all this just a dream?

But the faint ache in her palms told her it was indeed not a dream.

Zhou Sinin couldn’t help but recall the conversation in the elevator.

Yes, she should have known earlier.

Guan Yongyi, who was always hard to approach and aloof, how could she have gotten so close to a boy?

Her best friend had been deceiving her all along.

When did her boyfriend start going out on dates with her best friend, start embracing her best friend’s happiness and sorrows, start becoming soul partners with her best friend?

Was it the birthday party that hadn’t turned into music yet?

Or was it the debate competition with that superpower of love the?

Or perhaps, the romantic Yang Qianhua concert?

There were too many details worth pondering, and Zhou Sinin couldn’t co up with an answer no matter how hard she tried.

She suddenly rembered those heart-fluttering monts when she first t Lu Jincheng.

Outside the exchange, the sun lit up the sharp angles of the young man’s face as he smiled at her, his teeth dazzlingly white.

In the small alley of Beiyuan, he and she opened their first Golden Stone Coffee shop.

Business was booming, and the neighboring shop owner ca over for small talk every now and then, jesting that the young couple was very capable.

He never refuted it.

Since childhood, Zhou Sinin had fantasized about those romantic and surprising scenes of romance.

With Lu Jincheng, one by one, they ca true.

Despite his flirtatiousness, he was essentially her ideal type.

"The key isn’t urgent, but the sentint is."

Zhou Sinin still can’t forget her feelings at that mont.

She also will never forget that day that hardly counted as half a holiday, Singles’ Day.

Lu Jincheng took her through streets and alleys, swinging on swings, releasing hydrogen balloons together.

In the deserted Nanhu Industrial Park, under the witness of stars and the moon, she wrote down her wish.

To be with him forever.

Forever?

Reflecting on every little mont they spent together, Lu Jincheng had always been good to her.

Even though he and her best friend had crossed forbidden boundaries, the man was still as good to her as ever.

Zhou Sinin just couldn’t understand.

Clearly, nothing had happened, their feelings hadn’t soured, and everything had been progressing steadily and happily towards the future.

A clear future was laid out before them, just waiting for them to walk towards it for a happy ending.

Why did he suddenly stop halfway to hold soone else’s hand?

Actually, looking back, there were clues.

Everyone was just friends when they first t, hence the creation of the Ran Dong WeChat group.

At first, he and Guan Yongyi would occasionally share so obscure Cantonese songs, saying they sounded good.

Later on, he and Guan Yongyi’s interactions grew more and more frequent.

Moving houses, going to restaurants, picking up parcels, writing papers...

Until one day she herself found it strange.

For example, Guan Yongyi hadn’t ntioned Lu Jincheng’s na in front of her for a long ti.

For example, why did Guan Yongyi have such a deep understanding of love?

And again, how Guan Yongyi always subtly reminded her.

To be more magnanimous, more reserved.

Yes.

More magnanimous, to ignore the flirtations around him?

More reserved, to allow herself to overtake in a bend?

Guan Yongyi, oh Guan Yongyi, you’re truly a top-grade green tea!

Thinking this, Zhou Sinin couldn’t help clenching her fists, instinctively taking a deep breath.

So foolish.

She had been so foolish.

Too naive, overconfident in her personal charm, and overestimating Lu Jincheng’s self-control.

That’s why, when the incontrovertible proof was finally exposed, she was shocked to realize the dark truth beneath the world’s surface.

The bedroom’s blackout curtains were highly effective, and silence was the night sky’s main lody.

In the pitch darkness, no one could see Zhou Sinin’s swollen eyes.

One drop, two drops, three drops...

Tears fell like sparkling pearls, sliding down her soft eyelashes onto the cheeks of the brown-haired girl and were softly embraced by the pillow.

She remained silent throughout, but her shoulders shook gently, as if trying to release the complex emotions in her heart all at once.

Her heart felt tightly clenched by a pair of hands.

One was a friend as close as a sister, the other was a boyfriend with whom she shared mutual feelings.

How could these two people?

How could you and she?

If it were anyone else, perhaps she wouldn’t be so angry.

But why did it have to be her?

Zhou Sinin turned off her phone’s screen and reverted to lying on her back, her arms crossed behind her head.

Without turning on the light, in the prolonged darkness, the girl gently closed her eyes.

...

Around 8:30 p.m., there was a soft click from the entrance hall.
