Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 297 295. A slap that resounded throughout the lobby
To be or not to be.
There is a famous philosophical line in Shakespeare's play "Hamlet".

It penetrates deep into life and bothers people for a long time.

Between existence and destruction, everyone is Hamlet.

The same goes for Lu Jincheng.

In the box, the moment he was kissed by the short-haired girl, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Push her away?
Still not pushing?

But no matter whether the man put force on Guan Yongyi's back with his hands or not, the other party seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and would not let go.

You are not allowed to push me away.

No matter what, it's not possible.

The perception of time seems to be stretched several times or even dozens of times in an instant.

A string gradually becomes tighter, then tighter, and the seconds are ticking.

No one knew when Zhou Sining, who was in the bathroom, would come back.

Will she appear behind their backs the next moment? Will she find her boyfriend kissing her best friend the next second?

One minute, two minutes, three minutes.

When Zhou Si Ning returned to the box, shaking her wet hands, she suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle.

You could even say it seems a bit weird.

In the box, Lu Jincheng sat opposite Guan Yongyi, remaining silent, looking down and fiddling with his phone.

My best friend had a rosy complexion, and although it was obvious that she was not wearing any makeup, her complexion seemed to have suddenly improved.

Especially the lips, which seem to be coated with a layer of transparent lip glaze, plump and charming.

"came back?"

Guan Yongyi raised his head with a smile and greeted Zhou Sining.

"There are so many people in the restroom and the queue is so long."

This restaurant is a popular internet restaurant in Hangzhou. During the New Year's Day holiday, it was packed with people and extremely popular.

Zhou Si Ning looked at her best friend and always felt that the way she looked at her was strange.

Wasn’t it me who was showing off my affection just now?
Guan Yongyi seemed to have no envy at all, and there was even some
Um.
Can't express it.

With Zhou Si Ning's emotional experience, she is currently unable to interpret this complexity.

To elaborate, this look is truly filled with mixed emotions.

Including the guilt of cheating on a best friend, the excitement of having sex with someone else's boyfriend, the courage to prove one's love, and the joy of the other party responding.
And the determination to just be discovered.

Pity.

If Zhou Si Ning hadn't spent too much time in the bathroom and her lung capacity hadn't allowed it,

Guan Yongyi really wanted to just lift the table.

Otherwise, she was just too angry to control herself.

She couldn't imagine that her best friend would show off in front of her like this every day after that.

Is it still possible?
Fortunately, Lu Jincheng took on the role of sponge pad and gave himself the final buffer zone for his emotions.

He didn't hide at all.

He just held himself like that and accepted the kiss tenderly.

He doesn't seem to be afraid to face everything.

In fact, when the girl thought of this, her original reckless impulse cooled down.

"After lunch, I'll go back."

Guan Yongyi took a tissue and wiped his mouth lightly.

"Eh?"

Zhou Si Ning was stunned when he heard this.

"We still have one day off. Are we going back to Jiangcheng now?"

"Do you really think I'm here on vacation?"

Guan Yongyi snorted coldly and said with his arms folded.

"The presiding judge told us that the verdict will be announced on the first day after the holiday. Sister Lingzhi can just wait in Hangzhou for it to be delivered."

"There's nothing to do in Hangzhou, so I might as well go back early."

"Besides, Mianmian is alone at home, so lonely."

She sighed imperceptibly.

"That's it"

Zhou Si Ning blinked and asked again out of habit.

"Why not spend one more day in Hangzhou? We can go back together."

"What's so fun?"

Unexpectedly, Guan Yongyi raised his eyebrows with an aggressive expression.

"Seeing you two showing affection?"

"Forget it. Some people quietly left the group. I think it's meaningless to always be a light bulb."

She curled her lips and finally blurted out the fact.

Everyone reached a tacit understanding at the dinner table and was deliberately avoiding this fact.

Lu Jincheng left the group.

After all, Zhou Sining is his girlfriend in public.

He was willing to take a step back and create some distance.

Kempinski Hotel, Hangzhou.

After returning to the room, Guan Yongyi began to pack his luggage as he had just said.

Zhou Si Ning sat on the sofa near the coffee table, supporting her chin with one hand, watching her best friend stuff one thing after another into the suitcase.

"You're really not bothered by bringing so many curling irons."

"This pajamas is quite nice. When did you buy it?"

"Wow baby, isn't it?"

Although it was not her first time going out with Guan Yongyi, Zhou Sining was still surprised by the completeness of her bestie's luggage.

Why isn't she usually so delicate?
Are all future lawyers required to do this?

"Are you annoying me by asking so many questions?"

Guan Yongyi pursed her lips, her tone as impatient as ever.

"I'll send you the link later if you like it."

"Curling iron, I like that curling iron, please send it to me later~"

As a guest, Zhou Sining looked around the room carefully and found everything was clean.

The two chatted with each other while watching Guan Yongyi pack all the luggage.

"Lv Jincheng and I will take you to the station later~"

"Don't bother. I can just call a taxi myself."

Hangzhou and Jiangcheng are both new first-tier cities. Whether it is high-speed rail or plane, there are always available services that allow you to leave at any time.

"Doesn't he have a partner here?"

Zhou Sining pouted, feeling that something was not quite right with her best friend today.

Of course, she could vaguely guess the reason.

But she wasn't sure.

"It's hard to get a taxi during the New Year's Day holiday, so ask him to lend you a car and be your driver."

"Forget it, it's too much trouble. It's too far. It's not necessary."

Guan Yongyi shook his head to refuse.

"This is your first time traveling, so make the most of your time. Besides..."

She stretched out her index finger, pointed it at Zhou Si Ning's chest in the air, with a meaningful expression.

"You just exhausted your body. You should take this opportunity to rest and replenish your energy."

"Oh, never mind, I'll send him a message!"

Zhou Si Ning was very excited and insisted on sending Guan Yongyi to the station.

"Look, it's too late. Don't wait. I can just call a taxi myself."

A few minutes later, Lu Jincheng seemed to contact Xie Yujia to borrow a car, but there was no news.

Guan Yongyi waved his hand, pulled up his suitcase, walked towards the elevator, and took out his cell phone to call a taxi.

"I don't know what he's doing, so slow."

Zhou Sining also stood up, helped her best friend take out the room card, and entered the elevator together.

First floor, Kempinski Hotel lobby.

Xiao Li, the female front desk employee, frequently operates the computer and greets customer after customer.

It is the New Year's Day holiday and the hotel is quite busy. Answering a variety of customer questions requires a considerable degree of patience.

The queue was neither too short nor too long and soon two new customers came to check out, which made Xiao Li's eyes light up.

The girl with short hair and the girl with long hair stood side by side, one helped to pull the suitcase, and the other handed over the room card. Both were stunning beauties.

"1302, right, Miss Guan?"

"Correct."

The short-haired beauty nodded, raised her wrist to check the time, her face expressionless.

"Ms. Guan, there is a charge of 1,300 yuan for your room. Should it be deducted from the deposit or paid separately?"

After swiping the room card, Xiao Li turned his attention to the computer screen and asked with a smile.

".Ah?" Guan Yongyi seemed to suddenly remember something, his expression suddenly became very nervous, and he immediately lowered his voice and continued.

"Just deduct it from the deposit."

As a front desk receptionist, having a loud voice is a compulsory course and also a basic skill.

Xiao Li's question was heard clearly by Zhou Sining, who was bored next to him.

She was also a gossiper, so she stood next to Guan Yongyi and asked with a smile.

"Eh?"

"Is there a mistake in the bill? What cost 1,300 yuan?"

"."

Guan Yongyi's heart tightened, and he hadn't yet considered how to answer.

Only the voice of the front desk was heard.

Deafening.

"Yes, it is Room 1302."

Seeing someone questioning his professionalism, Xiao Li couldn't help but look at the room number and bill again and continued to explain.

"One of the sheets was damaged. Since our sheets are all imported, the compensation is 1,300 yuan."

"Alright, alright, let's go ahead and let's go."

Guan Yongyi tugged at her best friend's sleeve, her palms slightly sweating.

I had planned everything, but I didn't expect something to go wrong at the last step, check-out.

But after hearing these words, Zhou Sining had no intention of moving at all.

The brown-haired girl took two steps forward, rushed in front of Guan Yongyi, and looked straight at Xiao Li at the front desk.

"Hello, let me ask you one more thing. If the sheets are damaged, can't they be fixed by washing them?"

"Why do you want full compensation?"

The previously soft voice now sounded trembling.

"Wait a moment, let me take a look at the details."

Mr. Li at the front desk still had a professional smile on his face, with eight snow-white teeth and a beaming smile.

"The cleaning staff reported that the consumption occurred on December 12th, when you used scissors to cut off a whole piece in the middle of the bed sheet."

"I'm really sorry, but according to the regulations, full compensation is indeed required in this case."

Zhou Si Ning suddenly fell silent.

She turned her head and looked at Guan Yongyi beside her.

Guan Yongyi also looked at her.

Their eyes met.

The lobby was filled with noise, but the two best friends who grew up together suddenly lost their voices.

It is said that smart women have the best life, but also the most miserable life.

Being too sensitive is actually a kind of pain.

Getting your hotel sheets dirty is something that happens to everyone.

This is not uncommon.

But it was strange that the sheet was cut in the middle with scissors.

It's so strange that it's impossible for a normal person to do such a thing.

This is not reasonable.

Why cut the sheets?

What's the use of cutting off such a piece?
unless
Something monumental happened on this sheet.

For the first time, Guan Yongyi knew what it meant to feel like every second felt like an eternity.

Until Zhou Si Ning spoke again.

"Guan Guan, why are you cutting the sheets?"

She spoke in a hoarse voice, clenched her fists, and her expression was almost twisted.

"I was in a bad mood, so I cut it."

Guan Yongyi answered.

"not in a good mood?"

Zhou Sining suddenly smiled.

"There's a concert on December 12th, right? I just watched my idol's concert, why are you in a bad mood?"

"Do you need a reason to be in a bad mood?"

Guan Yongyi spoke in a cold voice, his brows furrowed.

It's hard to explain.

She couldn't explain it.

“Is it because I’m in a good mood because I have someone to accompany me to the concert, or is it because I’m in a bad mood?”

Near the front desk, people waiting in line at the back had already started to grumble.

Zhou Si Ning had no reaction at all.

At this moment, she seemed to be unable to see anyone else, but her eyes were fixed on Guan Yongyi.

"."

Guan Yongyi bit her lip and said nothing.

"Guan Yongyi, tell me!"

Zhou Si Ning suddenly raised her voice and asked again in a voice that completely disregarded social comments.

“Why cut the sheets?”

"If you want to cut it, just cut it. Why do you care?"

Guan Yongyi also had a blank expression on his face. He turned his head and grabbed the suitcase.

"I have to go now. The taxi is almost here."

"Guan Yongyi, do you sleep alone?"

"The sheets are stained, aren't they?"

"It's bleeding, isn't it?"

"You wanted to keep it as a souvenir, so you cut a piece into pieces, right in the middle, right?"

Zhou Si Ning's voice started out in a very low tone, then gradually rose, like the sea level rising in the sunset.

She asked questions one after another like a machine gun, and her voice was like an awl, piercing people's hearts.

"Tell me! Is it right?"

"Think whatever you like."

Guan Yongyi turned around and left.

But Zhou Si Ning grabbed her arm with such force that she couldn't move.

"right?"

"Guan Yongyi, right?"

Sentence after sentence, as if there was no answer and he would not let go today.

"Correct."

Guan Yongyi let go of the box and simply nodded, with an unprecedented smile on his face.

"That's it."

"Why are you asking if you already know that?"

"."

Zhou Si Ning's eyes widened for a moment, and her chest suddenly stiffened.

She admitted it.

Guan Yongyi actually admitted it?

That is
Is this the answer to my constant uneasiness, suspicion and doubt?
Are Lu Jincheng and Guan Yongyi really related?
Really?

Are these all true?

Are the sheets really the spoils of the first time?
This is actually true?!
Two people really slept together?
Her first time, first hug, first kiss, first sleepover.

She and Lu Jincheng.
Have you experienced all of them?

but I
Her mind went blank, and the only thing left was her instinctive reaction.

Amid the whispers of the onlookers, she fiercely pulled the short-haired girl over and swung her right arm towards her bestie's delicate profile.

Snapped!
The sound of a slap echoed throughout the hall.

Louder than their conversation.

The short-haired girl's black-framed glasses were blown into some corner, and her face immediately turned deep red.

The slap was so hard that it almost exhausted all the girl's strength.

All the strength of the past eighteen years.

But Guan Yongyi was actually laughing.

She squinted her eyes and looked directly at Zhou Sining and Lu Jincheng who had just appeared in the lobby, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"You are so fucking shameless!"

Zhou Si Ning burst into tears.

Give me ten minutes. I haven't finished writing yet.
