Chapter 490: Chapter 490: The eting Chapter 490: Chapter 490: The eting The crowd didn’t speak, instead waiting for Lin Jingshen’s reaction.
With a smile, Lin Jingshen said, “Of course, I don’t mind.”
After Lin Jingshen had spoken, the others began to chi in.
“Lu Youbang, is this also your cousin?”
“She’s my own sister.” Lu Youbang replied with a smile, taking a seat with Lu Youzhen at the very end, not directly seeking out Lin Jingshen.
“Your family’s looks are really sothing,” soone sighed.
Lu Youxi was indeed the pinnacle of beauty; they thought that she must be a genetic mutation in her family.
Although Lu Youbang was slightly less handso than Lu Youxi, they hadn’t expected that even his sister would be so attractive, and so similar-looking to Lu Youxi.
“Seriously, if you hadn’t said so, we would have never guessed you ca from a village,” soone comnted.
The last thing Lu Youzhen wanted to talk about was her village origins.
But these people kept bringing it up, so Lu Youzhen said with a smile, “What do you think the countryside is like? Our place isn’t that backward.”
Lu Youbang let out a laugh, saying, “It’s probably because our family’s genes are all pretty good.”
Then, inevitably, soone said, “Lu Youbang, your sisters sure have a temper. Your sister shares a bit of Lu Youxi’s temper too.”
The thing Lu Youzhen hated most was being compared to Lu Youxi.
Back in the village, from ti to ti, she would hear people saying how pretty she was, but that Lu Youxi was just a bit prettier.
She and Lu Youxi both had fair complexions, but Lu Youxi’s seed just a bit fairer.
They said Lu Youxi was better at studying than her.
In every aspect, she was inferior to Lu Youxi.
Lu Youzhen was sick to death of being compared to Lu Youxi.
“Are you close with Lu Youxi?” Lu Youzhen asked coldly.
Everyone quickly picked up on the fact that Lu Youzhen’s tone suggested she didn’t get along too well with Lu Youxi.
But even after picking up on it, they showed no intention of holding back, not caring at all about Lu Youzhen’s feelings.
“Haha, at Jing University, who doesn’t know about Lu Youxi? She’s quite famous,” that person said with a laugh.
Lin Jingshen, on the other hand, was drawn to Lu Youzhen because of the temperant she displayed.
“Co on, stop teasing her,” Lu Youbang said with a wry smile, “My sister and Lu Youxi have been at odds since they were young. If you keep comparing her to Lu Youxi, she might really lose her temper.”
With Lu Youbang putting it this way, it beca difficult for the others to feign ignorance any longer.
“Oh, is that so? Then we won’t ntion it anymore.”
Moreover, Lin Jingshen took further notice.
Instead of seeking out Lu Youzhen right away, he waited until people started singing and the seating arrangent gradually beca disordered.
So were microphone hogs, while others were continuously scrolling through the song selection on the screen.
Under the intentional adjustnts by both Lin Jingshen and Lu Youzhen, the two of them ended up sitting together unknowingly.
Initially, with so people between them in the darkened room, Lin Jingshen almost felt as if he were sitting with Lu Youxi when he looked at Lu Youzhen.
But now, sitting together and looking more closely, he could tell she was different from Lu Youxi.
Not as pretty as Lu Youxi.
But having about half of Lu Youxi’s appearance was enough to make Jingshen itch with a sowhat uncontrollable urge.
*
Lu Youxi was engaged in a team-building activity with the staff from Little Pink Book, Hexing Rice, and Youshu Real Estate.
Although the number of people in each company wasn’t huge, when combined, the crowd was quite sizable.
Therefore, Lu Youxi had specifically booked the largest room in the karaoke establishnt.
Initially, the staff from Little Pink Book and Hexing Rice were quite familiar with each other due to their adjacent offices.
Now that Little Pink Book had moved to a new location, they happened to be next to Youshu Real Estate.
Therefore, the employees of Little Pink Book beca more familiar with those from Youshu Real Estate.
That evening, during the team-building, it didn’t take long for the staff from Hexing Rice to get to know the staff from Youshu Real Estate as well.
Together, they all cajoled Lu Youxi into singing a song.
The songs that left a strong impression on Lu Youxi were all from the future, and she particularly liked the songs from one pop king.
But at that mont, none of those songs existed yet.
Thus, Lu Youxi could only recall so old songs she rembered and chose “Sweet Honey.”
The employees from Little Red Book and Hexing Rice were more familiar with Lu Youxi.
So an employee joked, “Boss, you’re so young, why sing such an old song?”
With familiarity, Lu Youxi responded, “Our village used to be very poor, with few channels available on our TV, and we didn’t have cable. We could only watch five or six channels over and over. We just watched whatever was broadcasted on those few channels.”
“The songs I heard and can sing are all from those channels,” Lu Youxi said with a shrug, expressing her helplessness.
The crowd: “…”
They had forgotten that their boss had co up the hard way.
Soone wiped their face, “Boss, stop it, saying that makes us all feel down.”
However, Lu Youxi simply smiled, “True, my playlist needs an update. I’ll listen to so of the recent popular songs when I have ti. Next ti we co here for a team-building session, I’ll sing sothing new.”
Since everyone from the boss to the employees were young, they all got along quite comfortably.
The group sang until 10:30 PM, and Lu Youxi felt it was about ti.
Everyone still needed their own space.
So the group packed up and left the private room.
As they walked down the hallway, the door to an adjacent private room suddenly opened, and a group of people erged.
The people from the nearby room only casually glanced at them.
But unexpectedly, soone paused and called out, “Lu Youxi?”
Hearing her na, Lu Youxi looked over.
She did not recognize these people, finding them quite unfamiliar.
But after a few seconds, she recognized three faces among these strangers.
Lu Youbang, Lu Youzhen, and Lin Jingshen.
Lu Youxi was surprised to see Lu Youzhen among them.
She had heard from Aunt Lin that Lu Youzhen was coming to the Imperial Capital to study flight service.
She just hadn’t expected Lu Youzhen to arrive so soon.
It seed that selling Hexing Rice had indeed improved the lives of the residents of Hexing Village, so much so that even Ge Guifen could afford to send Lu Youzhen to the Imperial Capital so far in advance.
Lu Youbang certainly didn’t have much money.
Unable to move into the school dormitory imdiately upon arriving in the Imperial Capital, Lu Youzhen had no choice but to rent a place outside.
Rent in the Imperial Capital was not cheap.
Lu Youzhen was also montarily stunned, not expecting to see Lu Youxi so soon.
She had not planned on eting Lu Youxi so quickly.
Seeing Lu Youzhen standing with Lin Jingshen, and even the sowhat ambiguous distance between them, Lu Youxi couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
Lin Jingshen, for so reason, subconsciously moved slightly to the side under Lu Youxi’s gaze, putting a bit of distance between himself and Lu Youzhen.
Lu Youzhen, standing nearby, stiffened and couldn’t help but grit her teeth.
What was Lin Jingshen’s aning!
Subconsciously, Lu Youzhen felt that Lin Jingshen’s move had sothing to do with Lu Youxi.
