Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 287. Repairing the plank road in the open, marching through Chencang in secret

"Happy New Year in advance~"

"Of course I miss you! I'll be back soon after I finish my work here, don't worry~"

"We bought a bunch of fireworks. Let's go down and count down together. I'll take a picture of you later!"

Mr. Lu has excellent time management skills.

Half an hour before twelve o'clock, he forced Zhong Ruixi to talk on the phone for half an hour.

Note, not WeChat.

When the countdown was just a few minutes away, he gave Zhong Ruixi an explanation in advance.

The photo of the brilliant fireworks at night was taken early in the morning when he and Guan Yongyi were shopping.

It's all in his phone.

As the New Year was approaching, he made another WeChat video call to Zhou Sining.

It is clear.

The first blessing of 2015 belongs to Zhou Sining.

"Happy New Year~"

“Our baby’s pajamas are so cute!”

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you to climb into bed and not look at anyone else."

Friends who have had romantic experiences with female college students will easily recall a scene.

That is, when I video chat with my girlfriend at night, there are always other people in the frame.

For example, roommates wearing cool clothes, female classmates who came in, and strange underwear
Whenever your lover accidentally discovers these things, he or she will always hum a few words coquettishly, or wink and lower the voice to let you know to be careful.

Looking at girls of all ages, this experience can only be had when dating female college students who live in the dormitory.

Green and sweet.

Although it is already twelve o'clock, tonight is a New Year's Eve with a full sense of ceremony.

According to holiday tradition, there is a three-day holiday after the New Year's Eve.

Therefore, the lights in the entire Finance Department dormitory building were still on, and several roommates in 601 had just returned.

Some were dating, some were shopping, and some were chatting non-stop.

Except for Zhou Sining, who spent the New Year’s Eve with her boyfriend via video call.

She put on Bluetooth headphones in both ears, threw the screen flashing with a man's face on the bed, climbed up the ladder, and returned to her own little world.

She leaned against the wall, hugged her legs, rested her chin on her knees, placed her cell phone in front of her, pursed her cherry lips, and her eyes seemed to hide a pool of autumn water, full of affection.

"I'm home?"

"I saw the fireworks you just sent me. They are so beautiful."

"I miss you too~"

"Can you switch to the mobile phone video? The resolution of the computer camera is so low that I can't even see your face clearly!"

"Wow, you live in such a big suite by yourself?"

“What a luxury.”

As she spoke one sentence at a time, the dimples at the corners of her mouth were faintly visible.

"Hate it, I won't show it to you, you rascal~"

Maybe it was because of what the man in the video said, Zhou Si Ning's pretty face flushed, and she gently pushed aside a bunch of brown hair, revealing a piece of white skin from her shoulders.

The coral fleece pajamas fit her slender and graceful body perfectly.

It’s not a suspender, it’s not lace, it’s not a deep V, and it’s not a lift.

It was just a solid pink cotton pajamas, the only decoration being a circle of edelweiss tattooed around the collar.

The delicate and soft fabric clung to her shoulders, wrapped around her arms, hooked around her waist, and kissed the heightened peaks of her breasts.

Instead, it exudes a charm and temptation that is hard to achieve with clothes that are deliberately sexy.

No wonder men are frustrated by it.

"There's a lot of noise over there, are you setting off fireworks?"

"Open the curtains a little, oh, I can see clearly!"

“You live so high up.”

"The scenery downstairs is so beautiful. Is that the Grand Canal over there?"

Zhou Si Ning still had a smiling face, and her soft voice seemed to tickle people's hearts.

As she asked the question, she quickly and quietly pressed the screenshot key several times.

"The downtown area is different! No one set off fireworks at the school today."

"I didn't go out all day. I just went out to do some yoga in the afternoon."

"What should I do? I don't want to go out without you now."

"Hahahaha, I know, I know. You must stay with me when you come back!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Sining went up the ladder again and sat back in her seat.

New Year, new atmosphere, the first New Year’s Eve for freshmen.

Tonight in dormitory 601, the roommates seem to be particularly excited.

"Listen, listen to Ning Bao's voice. Oh my god, it's so sweet that it's killing me."

"I'm away on business on New Year's Eve and I'm not with you. I'm going to give him a good meal when I get back!"

"Seeing you guys are so happy, I want to fall in love too"

In dormitory 601, a roommate named Jiang Fengting let out a long sigh.

She had been watching Song Wan fall in love since she entered college as a freshman. Now, the most outstanding little princess in the dormitory had found a partner, but she was still single.

Of course, it’s not like Jiang Fengting wasn’t pursued by anyone.

Although Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics does not assign dormitories based on appearance, Jiang Fengting can be considered a little beauty and her popularity can be said to be quite good.

Compared to Zhou Si Ning, who is too beautiful and outstanding, this type of beauty will have more suitors.

Over the past half semester, many suitors have come after her, but no one has won her heart.

not a single one.

"Tingting, please stop talking. Those boys who have been chasing you lately are really bad."

"Indeed, too childish!"

"I send you good morning and good night every day. Have you eaten? Did you sleep? Check in. Why don't I ask you to sign in?"

When a few girls get together, they can't help but gossip about each other's love lives.

Jiang Fengting spread out her hands, looking helpless.

"You keep saying this won't work and that won't work, so why don't you, the experienced ones, teach me what works?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Song Wan's bed.

Empty.

She went out for New Year's Eve with her boyfriend and didn't even go back to the dormitory.

Then, his eyes focused on Zhou Si Ning who was eating snacks in the middle of the stool.

"Ningbao, can you tell me?"

"what?"

Zhou Sining was looking at a map in front of the computer. When she was suddenly asked a question, she couldn't help but blink.

She thought for a few seconds and said.

"Well, regardless of the conditions, it will be much more comfortable to fall in love with someone who is a little smarter and on the same channel."

"how do I say this?"

Jiang Fengting put down her crossed legs and listened very attentively.

"Smart is the new sexy!"

Another roommate surfs the Internet intensively every day and watches American TV series, and he can immediately recite a classic line.

"I don't think this sentence means that a person should boast about his or her academic level, knowledge or even the accumulation of various vocabulary."

"Instead, you discover through subtle interactions that you don't have to put in too much effort."

Zhou Si Ning rubbed her eyes, turned around and explained seriously.

"Even if you've just met someone, you don't have to explain every single thing you say."

"He knows what Platform Nine and Three Quarters is, knows the full name of the illness the heroine in the popular TV series you're watching recently suffers from, and knows why being fourteen years old is the bottom line of a society ruled by law."

The brown-haired girl raised her chin slightly, recalling every little detail of her time with Lu Jincheng. A flower seemed to bloom between her eyebrows, and a smile bloomed. Jiang Fengting, who was sitting next to the chair, also took over the conversation.

"So, I can catch a lot of your bad jokes and throw them back?"

"Yes, before becoming lovers, we must first be friends who can talk to each other. Only when we get to know each other little by little can we get closer to each other's hearts."

Zhou Si Ning leaned on the stool in a lazy posture, with her snow-white and delicate left leg resting on the chair, without even a wrinkle at the knee.

The audience nodded.

"He should at least know why your mental state fluctuates, that some of your stress reactions come from childhood trauma, and the dark corners of your heart."

“Try not to touch on something you don’t want to talk about.”

As Zhou Si Ning spoke, she picked up another piece of fruit from the table and put it into her mouth.

Just like how Lu Jincheng behaved when he went to the video game arcade with me.

On the surface, he didn't seem to do anything, but only people who share the same sentiments will understand his thoughtfulness.

"Find someone who shares the same spiritual path. Is it that simple?"

Jiang Fengting seemed to understand but not quite.

"Yup!"

Zhou Sining nodded vigorously.

"These things may sound superficial, but the daily life of a relationship is not like playing tennis, where you go back and forth and the ball of topic keeps changing as it bounces."

She had discussed this "playing tennis" theory with Guan Yongyi as early as when she graduated from high school.

"Why do you think a long-term relationship can be evenly matched?"

“Because both sides are trying to control the power and avoid hitting the ball out of the court.

"But smarter people will silently adjust the strength according to your playing level."

Obviously, Zhou Si Ning had only been in love once, and the relationship hadn’t even lasted a year or so.

But at this moment, she is like a shining love mentor, answering questions and resolving doubts for several ignorant roommates.

"When I was young, of course I also dreamed of a prince charming and a princess, that kind of romantic and beautiful relationship."

Zhou Si Ning was speaking when she was interrupted by her roommate.

"You and the one from your family, isn't it?"

Jiang Fengting pointed to the empty cup of golden coffee on the table and protested quietly.

Almost the entire Finance Department knew that a startup star had emerged in the dormitory.

Nowadays, Dianjin Coffee can be found in every popular business district in the streets and alleys of Jiangcheng.

This is the work of the most beautiful lady in the Finance Department of our University of Finance and Economics!
Others may not know, but my roommate certainly knows it.

The Dianjin Coffee shops that can be found in every street and alley are the result of the hard work of Zhou Sining, a freshman in college, and her boyfriend who goes to a neighboring school.

From a deserted and bankrupt coffee shop to a popular coffee brand among young people in Jiangcheng, and then to a chain coffee brand spread all over the city.

In the eyes of most students, this is much more shocking than the illusory prince and princess charming.

Start a business together, share weal and woe, the ultimate romance and beauty.

"romantic."

Zhou Si Ning paused for a few seconds and suddenly smiled.

"I used to think romance was important, but after being with him, my thoughts have changed."

"How to say?"

Jiang Fengting asked.

"My definition of a good relationship now is that you don't have to feel that communication is difficult, you can trust each other wholeheartedly, and you don't have to spend a lot of time on suspicion, reasoning and doubt."

"Not communicating is hard, because it makes you know that you are seen and understood."

"But it's not easy to trust someone wholeheartedly."

"Although a smart lover will make you feel that everything is going smoothly, so you can relax."

Zhou Si Ning folded her arms, as if she remembered something.

She pursed her lips into a thin line and sighed slowly.

"In the game of tennis, the chances of being matched with a rookie or a professional player are both very low."

"All I can do is to advise you to be more discerning when choosing."

"Choose a smart one and hit the ball effortlessly. After all, this should be a happy thing."

Zhou Si Ning raised her wrist, pressed her neck, and looked at the computer screen in front of her again.

"If you can make yourself pick up fewer balls, try to pick up as few balls as possible."

Time——January 2015, 1.

Flight number—D2198.

Luggage - ready.

Makeup - impeccable.

It was six o'clock in the morning and it was still dark.

Zhou Sining tiptoed out of the dormitory, picked up the luggage that had been packed long ago, and headed straight for the high-speed rail station without hesitation.

That's right.

After video chatting with Lu Jincheng last night, she immediately bought a ticket to Hangzhou.

Answers to all questions, all suspicions and doubts, everything beyond intuition.

Why are Lu Jincheng and her best friend sitting together?
Where are the other people who attended the concert?
Zhou Si Ning thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision.

She wanted to go to Hangzhou to see it with her own eyes.

Give everyone a time difference and catch them by surprise.

This is also the reason why she appears to be cheerful and cheerful during video calls and daily interactions, just like usual.

She wanted to stabilize Lu Jincheng and Guan Yongyi.

Zhou Sining, a very smart woman, witnessed with her own eyes how Lu Jincheng forced Luo Yongfei to drop out of school.

Of course, she knew how scheming and resourceful her boyfriend was.

When Lu Jincheng returns to Jiangcheng, the concert incident will definitely be over.

The witnesses, evidence and testimonies had been aligned long ago, and she would probably never find any clues.

She was no stranger to the principle of being humble but proud in the art of war.

In the video in the early hours of the morning, she laid the groundwork again and again, advancing step by step.

Finally, through Lu Jincheng's camera, I saw the scene outside his hotel window.

By looking at the scenery outside the window, you can roughly determine where the man lives.

With the three elements of time, place and people gathered, Zhou Si Ning decisively bought a ticket and set off before dawn.

She slept for less than five hours.

Coincidentally, the high-speed rail from Jiangcheng to Hangzhou also takes about the same time.

A little after eleven o'clock, she was able to step onto the ground in Hangzhou.

Last night was New Year’s Eve, and so many of Lu Jincheng’s employees and friends definitely stayed up all night.

There's a chance he hasn't gotten up yet.

But how can we locate his room?

right!

suite!

A boyfriend who spends money like water will never treat himself badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

He stayed in an executive suite.

On the swaying high-speed train, Zhou Sining pressed down the brim of her hat and squinted her eyes slightly.

At eleven o'clock, Mr. Lu did not get up as expected.

There were a lot of New Year's Eve blessings, but the only one who stayed by his side and held his hand to spend the New Year was Guan Yongyi.

In addition, it was rainy and windy last night, and the two of them were sweating. Finally, they hugged each other and fell asleep exhausted.

Who wakes up early?
The smell of hormones lingered in the air for a long time, and the eyes were tightly closed.

In a corner beside the bed, a cell phone started vibrating wildly.

It keeps shaking.
