Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 10. Casualness is the confidence of a great beauty

"This car is heading to Optics Valley Plaza."

After answering Lu Jincheng's question, the two were forced to remain silent for a while.

The space on the bus was cramped, so Lu Jincheng could only hold the railing with one hand and put his other hand around Zhong Ruixi's shoulders.

In this situation, as long as she raised her head, she could meet Lu Jincheng's eyes.

too close.

It's really too close.

Why can we only take the bus?

At this time, it is difficult to get an empty taxi to Optics Valley on Nanhu Avenue.

Zhong Ruixi had no idea how many times she had complained about Jiangcheng's terrible traffic in her heart.

The result of physically breaking the social distance was that Zhong Ruixi no longer had time to think about Lu Jincheng's secret hand holding just now.

Strictly speaking, it doesn't seem to be the case. It's just the wrist.

Zhong Ruixi had no time to speak. She held the railing and tensed her body to avoid accidentally falling into the man's arms. She kept her chin slightly retracted throughout the whole process, leaving Lu Jincheng's high ponytail and white neck in sight.

With every breath in and out of my nose, I could smell the scent of a young girl's shampoo.

Fresh scent of wild rose and four-leaf clover.

"There's a spot available, go ahead."

As the bus approached the terminal, Guanggu Square, passengers got off one after another and finally a seat was vacated.

Lu Jincheng took a step forward and helped Zhong Ruixi take it.

The setting sun was cut into geometric shapes by the glass of the bus, and the surroundings were filled with dim light from neon lights and car lights. Zhong Ruixi sat by the window of the bus, and from her perspective, it seemed like a beautiful backlit shot in a movie.

The boy stood straight, with a high nose bridge, a prominent Adam's apple, and a particularly good-looking profile.

She turned her head to look out the window, trying to use the night to hide the blush that was secretly spreading on her face.

"Come, come, this way!"

At a Cantonese hotpot restaurant in Jiangcheng, there were two empty stools at the six-person table in the middle of the hall.

Pan Xuan, who was sitting facing south, had sharp eyes. From a distance, she spotted Lu Jincheng and Zhong Ruixi who had just entered the room, and immediately stood up to greet them.

The two were the last to arrive, and naturally sat side by side in the two remaining empty seats.

"What's the matter, Lao Lu? I heard that you are not doing well?"

As soon as he sat down, Liu Zhe put his arm around Lu Jincheng's shoulders.

This kid is a real dark-skinned athlete, about 1.78 meters tall. His seemingly lean body is full of explosive power. He had a good relationship with Lu Jincheng in high school. In his second year of high school, he chose sports as his major and enrolled in Jiangcheng Sports College.

"You can't fucking do that."

Lu Jincheng smiled and patted the other person. All the people present were classmates who had known each other for a long time, so they were not ambiguous when teasing each other.

"You're still pretending! Someone has already sent a message saying that Lu Jincheng is not acclimatized and he didn't even participate in the military training."

"I also told the people who booked the restaurant to be careful not to eat spicy, raw, or cold food. If others don't know, they might think you're having your period."

The fat man who was speaking was called Wu Zizhi. His small eyes kept looking at Lu Jincheng and the other person who were sitting together, and there was a hint of yin and yang in his words.

During high school, the people who pursued Zhong Ruixi most enthusiastically were boys from other classes.

As classmates spent every day together, they all had a general understanding of Zhong Ruixi's personality and her determination not to fall in love.

Studying is the main theme of high school, and any boy who is a little bit smart understands this.

So what about college?
Zhong Ruixi's scores are there. Besides Nanhu University, there are many other schools of the same level in Jiangcheng.

Wu Zizhi feels that no matter how far away the beautiful girl is from his reach, it is time for him to fall in love.

But the guy next to me is really an eyesore.

"Did you send a message specifically to Pan Xuan?"

Lu Jincheng ignored Wu Zizhi, treating him as air, turned his head and asked in a low voice.

"Yes."

Zhong Ruixi took the disposable chopsticks, broke them open, scraped them carefully back and forth, and nodded slightly.

Cantonese hotpot, also known as hotpot.

Depending on the ingredients, the main flavor is light, with the sauce flavor as a supplement, and the original flavor of the ingredients is emphasized. The base of the pot is water with medicinal food or porridge water. If you are confident enough in the ingredients, you may even use only water as the base of the pot.

If someone hadn't suggested taking care of the patient's health, the northern children, who always have heavy tastes, would rarely compromise.

"Actually, I'm fine. You don't have to eat light food next time."

Lu Jincheng leaned close to the girl's ear and said.

"This is the first time for us to gather in Jiangcheng. It's quite a coincidence."

"How about a drink?"

Everyone was there, and steam was bubbling from the bottom of the pot. Pan Xuan put the ingredients in with a serving chopstick and suggested with a smile.

"No feast is complete without wine. Come on, have a drink!"

Among the six people, Kelly Tan, who loved drinking the most, immediately seconded the motion.

"It's all right."

The female classmate first suggested having a drink to cheer herself up, and the boys naturally had no objection at this time.

After graduating from high school, many people learn to act like adults and start to let themselves go.

Not only do people drink at dinner parties, but they also have to chat occasionally to show their maturity.

A box of local specialty beer - Jinlongquan was brought to the table by the waiter, and Wu Zizhi gave each person two bottles of beer.

"Come on, from high school to college, it's great to see you guys, cheers!"

"cheers!"

As the steam rolled in, everyone laughed and drank a whole glass of wine.

Next, it’s time for classmates to reminisce and chat.

Either they ask about how your school is, or they discuss which roommate is difficult to get along with.

Except for Lu Jincheng and Zhong Ruixi, everyone else is from different universities.

"Let me tell you, there are so many beautiful girls in our school!"

Pan Xuan, who is studying at Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music, put on full makeup today to have dinner with her classmates.

"I could be amazed all the way from the school gate to the dormitory without stopping to look."

"Can a girl from a music school be this pretty?"

After two bottles of wine, Wu Zizhi, who had just left his high school student status, was obviously a little drunk.

"Compared to our school beauty?"

As he said this, he pointed at Zhong Ruixi who was standing opposite him.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Zhong Ruixi waved her hand. Even though no one objected, she never admitted that she was the school belle of Liaocheng No. 1 Middle School.

Pan Xuan smiled and said, "They are not the same type as Ruirui."

"The seniors and teachers I see on the street are all very pretty, but they are probably more exquisite after dressing up."

"Too hard, you know?"

Wu Zizhi responded with a confused look.

"Don't you understand? Then I'll be more straightforward."

"Rui Rui looks pretty good even without makeup. If she spends an hour or two putting on makeup, she'll be the biggest star in our school."

"There is no harm without comparison."

Pan Xuan shrugged, feeling deeply moved.

No one wants to appear to be trying too hard in front of a real beauty.

Especially when the heavy nude makeup that she spent more than half an hour carefully drawing out suddenly pales in comparison to Zhong Ruixi who only casually applied sunscreen.

The efforts made due to one's inherent lack of appearance can really make people feel frustrated.

Therefore, Pan Xuan, who had superb skills, did not pick up magic again until after graduation.

Being casual is the confidence that only great beauties deserve to possess.
