Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 248 246. Etiquette of Affair

After the debate, Guan Yongyi came out from the backstage holding certificates, trophies, red envelopes and gifts, met with Zhou Si Ning and Lin Lifen, and the group walked out of the auditorium.

Nanhu University specially reserved parking spaces for the contestants and guests. The three of them did not have to walk far and soon got into Guan Yongyi's Mercedes-Benz.

“The game was played well.”

As soon as he fastened his passenger seat belt and adjusted himself to the most comfortable position, Lin Lifen seemed to remember something and started to praise him.

"not bad."

Guan Yongyi's pretty face turned red, and she felt like ants were crawling all over her body. For a moment, she was a little uncomfortable with this compliment coming from her mother.

"Are you in love?"

It is difficult for a mother to say that she does not understand her daughter.

As a former debater and mother, she made almost the same judgment as the opposing team members and the spectators.

Guan Yongyi's performance in the White Horse Cup not only amazed and conquered countless audiences, but also made Lin Lifen express her rare affirmation to her.

She knew that it was not easy to make such profound and wonderful expressions that reflected her own thoughts and reflections.

Including Guan Yongyi's fluent and relaxed tone and manner during his closing argument, it seemed like he had some experience.

Just sitting in front of a computer and looking up information to write an article won’t produce something that can evoke deep empathy.

"Ah? Mom, don't talk nonsense. No."

The person in question was still in the back row, listening attentively. Guan Yongyi immediately waved his hand to refuse, keeping his expression calm and maintaining his emotions stable.

"The manuscript was written by my teammates, but I was the one who summarized it. Maybe they are more experienced, so it sounds more empathetic."

"so."

Lin Lifen didn't ask any further questions. She just smiled and continued to reply to the messages on her phone with her head down.

In fact, Zhou Si Ning was much more curious than Lin Lifen, but in the car with elders around, it was not convenient for her to ask too many questions or too detailed questions.

So no one spoke, and the car moved slowly forward on Nanhu Avenue, and the enclosed space fell into silence.

Only the automatically playing music remained, flowing non-stop from the moment the Bluetooth connection was turned on.

"Slowly wipe, tenth time, twenty times

Lipstick that crosses the line leaves a very cruel reminder

If you just want to do what you love, please don’t be too suspicious~"

At first listen, this Cantonese song sounds so innocent that one might think it was just a female singer practicing her voice.

It was not until the third sentence that I remembered the need for accompaniment, and the sound of the piano was added.

"When asked, where were you yesterday?
Once loved, remember to be the best liar

Thoroughly cleaning up clues is called professionalism, please always pay attention~"

The following accompaniment was only the sound of the piano, which seemed extremely clean.

In the second half, other instruments come into play.

"You have a three-school debate competition. There's prize money?"

Lin Lifen raised her head and inadvertently glanced at the red envelope her daughter had placed on the center console armrest, and asked curiously.

"Auntie Lin, you don't know this, right? The sponsors of this competition are very wealthy. The best debater award alone gets 5,000 yuan, and the champion gets a full 30,000 yuan!"

Zhou Si Ning, who was sitting in the back row, smiled and whispered something for her boyfriend who was not present.

"That's quite valuable."

Lin Lifen nodded, secretly sighing that the sponsor was rich and stupid, while at the same time she thought highly of her daughter's performance.

You know, the debate hall-level competition - the New National Debate has a prize of 10,000 yuan!

It's just a spontaneous regional shoddy competition, only a fool would give so much money to the sponsor.

But this is the truth in the world. If the boss is willing, no one else can say anything.

"Eat as much as you can. I'll treat you later."

Guan Yongyi gripped the steering wheel tightly with one hand and spoke with a smile, obviously in a very good mood.

The restaurant Zhou Si Ning chose was a high-end private restaurant with a budget almost as high as the prize money for the best debater tonight.

She knew Guan Yongyi's family very well. For every picky daughter, there was a difficult mother to deal with.

I’m afraid Lin Lifen wouldn’t be satisfied with an ordinary roadside stall.

After the elders ordered their food, everyone started chatting.

The dinner parties between mother and daughter are mostly about a few old topics.

Study hard, listen carefully in class, and work harder.

It’s just that Lin Lifen’s desire for control is really excessive. Sometimes even Zhou Sining can’t listen to what is said in front of her.

Not to mention, under the influence of someone, Guan Yongyi began to develop a rebellious mentality.

Having tasted the sweetness of darkness and rebellion, and starting to gradually take control of one's own life, one will naturally sneer at one's original life.

So, before the meal was even over, Guan Yongyi was already a little impatient.

"Mom, I'm grown up now. Balancing classes and internships is my own business. You don't need to worry about whether my paper can be published in a core journal. I have my own life. Can you please stop interfering?"

"Why do you talk to your mother like that?"

Lin Lifen was stunned, her surprise was beyond words.

It is not clear that her mother is busy with work. After entering university life, Guan Yongyi is free to do whatever she wants.

She and the good girl before gradually began to go in opposite directions and could not see each other's backs clearly.

"No, don't you think you're being too much?"

Guan Yongyi's chest kept rising and falling, but she was not that angry at first.

"I won't say anything else. I have a cat at home, and you want to control that?"

What ignited her emotions was just a casual remark from her mother, with a somewhat accusatory tone.

Lin Lifen complained that the cat was raised without her family's knowledge, which was a move made without her consent.

Not only is cat hair difficult to take care of, it also takes twice as much time to clean. Caring for a kitten on a daily basis will inevitably affect her work and studies. I asked my daughter to consider giving the cat to someone else.

"I want to raise it! I can't give it to someone else. You'd better give up on it as soon as possible."

Guan Yongyi threw the chopsticks on the table, turned his head, and his eyes turned red with grievance. "Well, Aunt Lin, Guan Guan and I often live together on weekends. Her cat is very obedient and cute, and I have raised it for so long that I have feelings for it. It would be a shame to give it away."

As a good sister, Zhou Sining did not let the situation become awkward and responded in time.

"I just suggested that you consider it, but I didn't say it's absolutely impossible."

Seeing that her daughter had not even eaten, Lin Lifen followed her down the stairs.

It was the first time she saw Guan Yongyi lose his temper with her, and she raised her voice to protest, which was unusual for her.

In fact, Lin Lifen is very busy with her work.

No matter how much she claims to care about everything, it is impossible for her to go to Jiangnan Home every day to check in person whether her daughter has a cat or not.

She was going to fly back to Guangzhou the next day, taking an early morning flight.

In order to sleep longer, we booked a hotel near Tianhe Airport.

In silence all the way, the two juniors sent Lin Lifen to the hotel.

When I got home, it was almost early morning.

The first thing the short-haired girl did when she entered the door was to change into slippers, hang up her clothes, squat down, and hug Mianmian tightly in her arms.

Rub your cheek against the soft fur.

"What are you doing? Didn't Auntie give in? You still look so bitter and resentful."

Zhou Si Ning couldn't help laughing. She sat in the middle of the sofa to rest and teased her best friend who had her back to her.

"I just feel a little aggrieved. Today she can oppose me raising Mianmian, but what if she opposes other things in the future?"

Guan Yongyi sniffed. Although he didn't cry at this moment, his tone was still full of grievance.

"others?"

After all, it was someone else's family affair, so Zhou Sining didn't ask any further questions.

She stretched herself, glanced at her phone, and yawned lazily.

"It's over. This is so unceremonial. Today is Christmas Eve and we didn't even eat apples."

"During the holidays, my mother and I will accompany you to have a big meal, with candlelight and dinner. Isn't this a sense of ceremony?"

Guan Yongyi turned around and pursed her lips and said, "How about I order you an apple from takeout?"

"Forget it. What's the point of talking about a sense of ceremony between us sisters? The key is Lu Jincheng! He didn't even mention it."

Zhou Si Ning folded her arms, pouted her lips slightly, and spoke in a sweet voice.

"Hasn't he been playing all day?"

Guan Yongyi laughed dumbly: "Little princess, you should at least be considerate of him. Do you want him to run out in the middle of the game to give you a sense of ceremony?"

"I'm just complaining to you. I don't really blame him."

Zhou Si Ning stuck out her tongue, looking innocent and cute.

Although it was Christmas Eve when couples reunited, she ran out first to have dinner with her elders, and naturally understood that Lu Jincheng had his own things to do in the evening.

What's more, the instructor Guo Minjie organized a dinner for the debate team, which was obviously a reason that was hard to refuse.

"And I think he's not the kind of straight man who doesn't have a sense of ritual."

"How to say?"

Zhou Si Ning blinked.

"Tomorrow is Christmas, he will definitely accompany you."

My best friend’s tone was flat and her face expressionless.

"Of course! How dare he not spend Christmas with me? I'll be angry right away!"

Speaking of this, the girl's delicate peach blossom eyes suddenly curved into two attractive arcs, and her clear dimples seemed to be overflowing with anticipation and joy.

Guan Yongyi didn't respond. He just turned his back to her and fiddled with the speaker in the middle of the living room.

"That's right, Guan Guan."

"Ok?"

Guan Yongyi turned sideways and looked into her eyes.

"What's the name of that song you played in the car today?"

When Zhou Sining saw the square box next to her best friend, she inexplicably thought of a melody.

"Which song? I played this song all night long."

The short-haired girl picked up her phone, subconsciously opened the cloud music interface, and rubbed her eyes.

"Yes."

Zhou Si Ning pondered for a few seconds.

"It was the Cantonese song you played in the car when we set out. The prelude seemed to be a cappella, and then there was the sound of musical accompaniment at the end!"

"Oh"

Guan Yongyi pretended to swipe the interface to search for it, but after a few seconds he looked up, indicating that he had given up.

"I can't find it. I haven't heard that song either. It was a random daily recommendation."

"Okay, then why don't you just play a song?"

Zhou Si Ning yawned again, stood up, walked towards the bathroom in her slippers, looking tired.

"I'm going to go wash up and go to bed, otherwise I'll have dark circles under my eyes tomorrow and I'll have to put on makeup carefully, which is so annoying."

"go quickly."

Guan Yongyi pursed her lips and calmly deleted one of the songs from the playlist.

Of course she did not forget the name of the song, the singer was her favorite singer, Karen Mok.

But I was afraid that if I told my best friend exactly what I said, I would be misunderstood.

Because it's called.
