Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 157. The moonlight is quiet, and I wake up at midnight

"Oh my god, a lot of official media are publishing this. He is really amazing."

Jiangnan Home, Building 6.

Sisters Guan Yongyi and Zhou Sining had just finished eating Japanese food and were curled up on the sofa watching the latest Korean drama.

[Douyu’s Ambition: Gold Medal Anchor and the Real World are All Dreams! ]

The short-haired girl's cell phone suddenly vibrated.

She leaned over to unlock her phone, then lowered her head and saw an automatic push notification from the public accounts she followed.

Although most of the content described the grand occasion of Douyu Carnival, the headlines of major official media were similar, which actually gave Lu Jincheng an advertisement.

I have to admit that the name of his new product is full of atmosphere and perfectly fits the theme of Douyu’s carnival this time.

Even when writing press releases, it feels great to use it.

Guan Yongyi nudged her best friend with her elbow, handed her the phone screen and showed her the big headline on it.

But for some reason, the other party looked absent-minded when mentioning Lu Jincheng.

"Wonderful."

Zhou Si Ning was wearing a floral dress, with her legs bent and her delicate feet resting on the edge of the sofa. Her arms were wrapped around her knees, and her knees were supporting her head.

"His store is going to be a big seller this time, seriously."

"How to say?"

"I just checked Taobao and the pre-orders for Xianshijiemeng have exceeded 5."

"5?"

"Yes, the price of one piece is over 100 yuan, and this is only the first day on the shelves! The guaranteed sales volume is over 5 million yuan."

"Yeah, that's amazing."

"Baby, why do you seem unhappy?"

Guan Yongyi blinked, moved towards her, and spoke softly.

Since childhood, the two have developed a good understanding of each other.

Zhou Si Ning had this absent-minded expression, there must be something on her mind.

"Yeah, a little bit."

Zhou Si was staring at the flickering TV screen in a daze, when she suddenly felt something nudging her calf. When she looked sideways, she saw it was a cute little kitten.

Mianmian is almost two months old. She has grown a lot bigger than when she was first brought home. Her soft fur is shiny and feels great to the touch.

It seemed that it had also sensed the low pressure from the aunt beside it. It just opened its round blue eyes and looked around curiously without saying a word.

"Why?"

Guan Yongyi turned his head, his eyes full of curiosity.

"What happened in the past two days?"

"I"

Zhou Si Ning pinched the hem of her skirt, using her fingers to create wrinkles on the floral pattern on the fabric, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

She also felt that her current state was a little strange.

But if she was asked to tell the reason openly, it would be difficult for her to do so.

So annoying!

"Uncle Zhou has returned to Shanghai. Are you reluctant to let him go?"

Guan Yongyi put her arm around her best friend’s shoulders, moved closer, and speculated quietly.

"No."

Zhou Si Ning bit her upper lip lightly and shook her head so slightly that the movement was barely noticeable.

"Well, the relatives are coming soon. Are you feeling down?"

"No, there's still a while."

The girl put her hand on Mianmian's head and rubbed it, then slid down to scratch its chin. The ragdoll cat purred comfortably.

If it is not due to physical reasons and the family of origin is ruled out, then what is left is...
"Before we went to the carnival, you were fine, right? So that's what happened during the event, right?"

Guan Yongyi is worthy of being a law student. His reasoning is cautious and meticulous.

Now, Zhou Si Ning pursed her lips, turned her head away and stopped talking.

Keeping silent means admitting it, the short-haired detective continues to investigate the case!

"We don't have a place to sit, do you think you've gotten a tan?"

Halfway through her words, Guan Guan looked at her bestie's enviable fair skin, which was so smooth that there was not a single blemish on it.

She shook her head again, denying herself.

"Impossible, you can't get a tan."

"Could it be that Lu Jincheng invited us to the carnival, but then didn't go to eat with us after it was over, and you were angry?"

"No, am I that stingy?"

Zhou Si Ning pouted and turned her head to retort.

"Then just tell me, is it because you are angry with this guy Lu Jincheng?"

Guan Yongyi explained everything clearly and concisely.

If you deny the thing but not the person, then the scope is almost right.

"Ah."

This is true.

Zhou Si Ning finally nodded, and her white onion-like fingertips drew circles along the sofa, and a mosquito-like sound rang out softly.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? How did that scumbag offend you?"

Guan Yongyi crossed his arms and spoke in a relaxed tone, just like the countless times the two of them had talked about Lu Jincheng before.

"It's not that he provokes me, it's just..."

Zhou Si Ning raised her head and looked at her bestie with her watery peach blossom eyes, as if she was born with a rosy blush on her face.

I kept replaying that moment and that emotion in my mind.

The more she thought about it, the clearer it became.

But it was precisely because of this that she didn't know how to say it.

Will it make me look weird and petty?

Even now that the carnival is over, Zhou Si Ning still remembers the complex emotions she felt at that moment.

It was like a drizzle in the autumn, dampening all her good mood.

The last part of the Douyu Carnival is walking the red carpet.

The extremely popular Miao Keyan looked even more radiant after changing out of her JK uniform. She was invited to appear on the same stage with her boss, and she was as beautiful as a blooming rose.

The blue strapless dress paired with a big bun is sexy and gorgeous, and she is carrying a classic LV bag.

At the age of twenty, she can actually carry off the color crimson with ease.

The moment she took Lu Jincheng's arm, she seemed like the concubine of a general in the Republic of China who was invited to play cards. She was extremely charming, and exuded generosity and confidence from the bottom of her heart.

He raised his eyes, gazed, smiled, looked around, then looked straight ahead and walked slowly. The whole process was done in one go.

Including Lu Jincheng who was beside her, no one deliberately designed any movements for her.

But her steps were very steady, and she didn't seem hurried like some anchors who didn't have a strong sense of camera.

By the third day, there were actually not as many spectators as on the first day.

Because it was a weekday, people like Deng Yuan and his group, as well as Zhong Ruixi and her roommate of four, all went back to school obediently and went to class.

After the initial novelty, the local audience in Jiangcheng just came to watch the fun, and then most of them left.

It just so happened that this day was the day when Zhou Yuanxin and Douyu finalized the investment contract.

The two juniors got seats in the inner field this time and watched Mu Keyan walking on the flower path with great clarity.

Look at her holding the man's arm tightly, and see the smile on her lips.

Look at their prosperous journey and their promising future.

"This guy looks pretty handsome in a suit!"

"Yeah, it's OK."

"Did you hear what the audience said? The man is handsome and the woman is pretty, they are all obsessed with the best couple of the show!"

"Well, it does look like a good match."

At that time, Zhou Si Ning could still control her emotions, chatting and laughing with her best friend, and accompanying her in making comments.

That guy Lu Jincheng was really dazzling when he was walking on the red carpet with the female guest on his arm.

Even Guan Guan, who rarely praises others, couldn't help but give a very high evaluation of his handsomeness, and took several photos and sent them to the group.

[Your Miaomiao is so pretty! Someone looks pretty handsome today too. ]

Guan Yongyi was joking as usual, and she knew it very well.

But she put her hands on the keyboard and couldn't come up with a single word of praise.

Staring at the three words "your home", although it's just a joke, I still feel it's extremely irritating.

Not right.

Zhou Si Ning, how come you can't even take a joke!
Something is wrong!
Never mind, there's nothing wrong with it.

Admit it.

Your reaction is simply jealousy.

Isn't it just jealousy? What's the big deal!

So, after she sorted out her inexplicable emotions, she finally began to try to review it.

But when she was alone, Zhou Si Ning found that she couldn't be happy at all.

After seeing her father off, she drove around the huge city casually.

See how people in different areas live and try to dilute the strange emotions.

Take some time to relax.

She saw the young man squatting in front of the Guanggu Duomo Cathedral, gesticulating and posing for a photo for his girlfriend, and he was smiling.

So she couldn't help but think of Lu Jincheng.

He had taught himself the same pose.

She saw people sitting on plastic stools waiting for their seats at the entrance of Xiaolongkan.

So she couldn't help but think of Lu Jincheng.

He and I were eager to go eat hotpot, but the restaurant happened to be closed that day.

She saw an old man selling cotton candy on Beiyuan Street. For only five yuan, he could buy a big handful of sweetness that looked like white clouds.

So she couldn't help but think of Lu Jincheng.

He complained that he was childish, then ran over and spent ten yuan to buy two, and they ate one each and enjoyed it happily.

She saw couples holding an umbrella and walking side by side in silence on Nanhu Avenue on a rainy day.

So, she couldn't help but think of
Jiangcheng is a huge city, but no matter where she drives or walks, she can still go there.

It seemed that the long memory of Lu Jincheng was like a torrential rain pouring into a calm lake.

I just pressed a small bubble and stopped thinking about it, but the rest of the content, with its sound, is bubbling in my heart and causing ripples again.

It can't be torn cleanly no matter what.

Yes, she didn't realize it until she was lost in her memories.

This isn't the first time I've felt jealous.

But last time, it was far from being as impactful and obvious as this time.

Zhou Sining thought about the afternoon when she went to Nanhu Industrial Park to find him, and the two minutes that Miao Keyan borrowed from her.

This seems to be a very ordinary daily job.

But if you pay a little more careful, you will find that the act of calling Lu Jincheng away in front of you itself has more than ten thousand undercurrents behind it.

She couldn't lie to herself.

During those two minutes, I was unhappy.

But when did you start to care about him?

Even she couldn't figure this out.

"Since they didn't provoke you, why are you angry?"

Guan Yongyi's next words brought Zhou Si Ning back to reality from her reverie.

"Well you're right, I'm not angry anymore."

Zhou Si Ning nodded, but didn't say the rest of the sentence, looking like she had figured it out.

"It's not like anyone did anything wrong. There's nothing to be angry about."

"That's right."

Guan Yongyi turned his neck, stretched his body, casually put his feet on the coffee table, and turned up the TV volume a little bit.

It sounds like my bestie’s bad mood has dissipated, so let’s continue watching the show.

"I'm just jealous."

After a long silence, Zhou Si Ning suddenly blurted out these words.

".ha?"

Guan Yongyi's originally relaxed expression seemed to be frozen. Thinking that he had heard it wrong, he quickly pressed the pause button and turned his head away.

"What did you say?"

"I said, I'm unhappy because I'm jealous."

Zhou Si Ning said with certainty.

"Who are you jealous of? Lu Jincheng?"

Guan Yongyi vaguely realized that something seemed to be wrong.

"Ah."

Zhou Si Ning nodded.

"No, so... are you jealous of him and Miao Keyan? Ah? It's just work."

The clear-minded law student stood there in a daze. Although she quickly figured out the object of her jealousy, her expression lacked basic logic.

"I know that the red carpet is just a formality, but I just can't help it."

With her worries exposed to the sun, Zhou Si Ning finally felt less depressed.

She shrugged, the corners of her mouth rising again, trying to find a little smile.

"Are you jealous because you like him?"

Guan Yongyi looked serious. He sat up straight, put his legs down from the coffee table, and put them together tightly.

This is asking knowingly.

If a girl uses the word "jealous", what else could it be if it's not love?

Sure enough, Zhou Sining nodded again.

"Like. Lu Jincheng?"

Guan Yongyi couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his temples, trying to tuck the loose hair back behind his ears, even though the place was obviously delicate and neat.

Her heart was in turmoil, her mouth was dry, and she tried to keep her voice calm.

"seems like it."

Zhou Si Ning raised her chin, and a soft voice rang out in the living room.

She is such a decisive person at heart, and the internal friction only lasted for a short while.

She was decisive and began to face her feelings openly and correctly.

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop, and silence permeated the living room.

The TV was silent and the living room was quiet.

Even the lively and cute Guan Mianmian was wagging her tail boredly by the side, without making any noise.

Guan Yongyi opened her mouth subconsciously. She had a lot to say in an instant, but she remained silent again.

She likes Lv Jincheng
Well, what about me?
"He's such a scumbag. He's so close to other girls. You're already jealous before you're even together. It's so tiring."

"So, what is it about him that you like?"

After thinking it over again and again, the short-haired girl broke the silence and spoke again.

"Does there have to be a reason to like someone?"

Zhou Si Ning asked back with a burning gaze.

"Do not want?"

Guan Yongyi tried to convince himself.

"Want it?"

"I don't know either. Looking back, it seems that liking someone was just a matter of a moment."

Zhou Si Ning leaned back on the sofa, looking up at the white ceiling, and murmured.

"If you ask me what conditions must be met to trigger a crush, I can't answer you at all."

"I'm going to go wash up first, we'll talk later!"

Now, it was Guan Yongyi's turn to be absent-minded.

She walked towards the bathroom in her slippers, taking one step deep and one step shallow, and quickly ended the topic.

"So, this is the moment you realized you liked him?"

During the long night, the two sisters, close as sisters, lay on the bed and had a long talk.

A beam of moonlight shone obliquely into the bedroom. Guan Yongyi stared at Zhou Sining's profile. Her long brown hair seemed to be wrapped in a layer of light, and she looked extremely beautiful as she told her thoughts.

In an invisible position, the short-haired girl tightly grasped a corner of the bed sheet with one hand, and the blue veins from the exertion could be faintly seen.

Although the moon was not full for her, the clear moonlight did shine on her.

"so good."

Guan Yongyi forced a smile, turned around and drew the curtains, blocking out the last ray of light in the night.

This way, no one would notice her red eyes and clenched palms.

She suddenly felt dazed.

"Yeah, I just realized that yesterday."

"just like"

Zhou Si Ning continued speaking.

"I woke up in the middle of the night, and he was a star falling from the eaves."
