Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 67 67. Others’ things are better

In the same community, some people are happy while others are sad.

Guan Yongyi has moved into a new house. As a close friend, I naturally cannot miss such a happy event.

When Zhou Si Ning came to the house, Guan Yongyi was wearing a facial mask, sitting on the carpet in the living room, and blowing his half-dried hair with a hair dryer.

Half of the room was filled with moonlight, and the other half was filled with slightly dim light due to the lack of a main lamp.

The hair dryer whirred, blowing up her short hair and also blowing the plant-mixed aroma of shampoo, conditioner, and essential oils into Zhou Si Ning's nose.

"I'm so tired! I'm really exhausted these past two days!"

The moment he stepped into the door, Zhou Si Ning let out a long breath, kicked off his shoes, and let himself collapse on the sofa.

The coffee shop has just launched a takeaway service. Even though two new employees have been hired, they are not yet proficient in the business and often are simply too busy to handle the work.

"Hasn't the coffee shop already made back its investment? Why are you still working so hard?"

Guan Yongyi put down the hair dryer and glanced at her.

She was wearing a facial mask and her voice sounded stuffy.

"The orders are increasing, suppliers are raising prices, and recently I have to deal with all kinds of strange inspections."

Zhou Si Ning covered her eyes with her hands. She felt tired when talking about work and gossiped weakly.

"Hey, why are you in the mood to apply a facial mask today?"

"Lu Jincheng called a few friends to help me move this afternoon. I treated them to a crayfish dinner in the evening as a thank you. It was a little spicy."

Guan Yongyi smiled and sat on the sofa next to her best friend, turning on the tablet on the coffee table.

"Did you drink with them?"

Even though she had taken a shower, Zhou Si Ning could still smell a faint scent of alcohol on Guan Guan.

"Just a little bit."

Guan Yongyi narrowed his eyes, put his slender index finger and thumb together, and made a cute gesture.

"You!"

Zhou Si Ning blinked her eyes, and her tone became more serious: "I found that after you came out to school, you really let yourself go."

"Why do you drink with boys? I see you've become a drunkard now. You have to drink at every meal!"

"It's not as exaggerated as you said."

Guan Yongyi protested quietly.

"Look! I knew it! What's in your refrigerator!"

Zhou Si Ning jumped off the sofa, ran barefoot to the nearby refrigerator, and opened the side door.

Guan Yongyi doesn't know how to cook, and there are no vegetables or meat in her refrigerator.

There were only two bottles of ice-cold Coke, and the rest were a wide variety of craft beers.

Baileys Sea Salt Caramel, Uble Holiday Beer, Buzz Osmanthus Honey Wheat Beer.
The first three shelves of the refrigerator are filled with colorful small bottles.

"Oh, isn't this just for fun? Have a drink to relax yourself."

The little collection was revealed by her best friend on the spot. Guan Yongyi stuck out her tongue, pursed her cherry lips, smiled and walked over to hold her arm.

"You still know! Aunt Lin called me today and told me a lot of things."

Zhou Si Ning raised her eyebrows and said.

"My mother just doesn't trust me and controls me too much."

Guan Yongyi snorted lightly, turned around and sat on the sofa beside him, leaning against the armrest, with his legs crossed in front of him, one white toe higher than the other.

"You know what! Baby, besides calling you, she did something even worse!"

The short-haired girl continued to complain.

"She was even worried that I wasn't taking classes seriously! Yesterday she sent me a message saying that she had already contacted the college leaders and asked me to intern at Professor Li's law firm."

"what?"

Zhou Si Ning's beautiful peach blossom eyes widened and looked a little dazed.

“That does seem to be a bit…”

"Really? You think so too, right? She's just a control freak. It's so annoying."

Guan Yongyi pursed his lips, picked up the iced cola on the table, and took a big sip.

The eight red-circle law firms are the ceiling of the domestic legal services industry.

As the head of Yangcheng Junhe Law Firm, Guan Yongyi's mother Lin Lifen graduated from China University of Political Science and Law, has been working in the legal circle for many years, and has a strong network of contacts.

Arranging an internship for her daughter was something she had planned long ago. "Although Auntie Lin is a bit strict, it's better than my mom who doesn't care about me at all."

Zhou Si Ning held her chin with one hand and looked at Guan Yongyi.

"Don't give me that! You don't know how much I envy your freedom."

People tend to project their own wishes and expectations onto others, thinking that what others have is exactly what they lack.

This kind of psychological projection will make people have the illusion that "other people's things are better."

By the time Zhou Si Ning finished washing up, it was already late and it was time to rest.

Guan Yongyi's master bedroom has a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

The cold-toned floor-to-ceiling windows represent melancholy. It is quiet late at night, and the ginkgo trees in the community are orange and yellow. The moonlight shines through the dense ginkgo leaves, forming colorful spots of light.

The dim curtains cast a faint light on the Simmons bed that was more than two meters long.

The evening breeze passed through the middle, and the girls' nightgowns swayed, as if they were telling their thoughts to the air.

The two of them lay side by side, continuing their nighttime chat between best friends.

"Is the boy who pursued you last time still sending you messages?"

The two of them had a few centimeters difference in body shape, so Zhou Si Ning specially brought a nightgown with her, a simple silk suspender.

"Yeah, but I ignored him and returned the gift the same way."

Guan Yongyi looked out the window with an expressionless face.

"He has been pursuing you since the beginning of the school year. He is so patient. He must really like you, right?"

Zhou Si Ning blinked and asked curiously.

"do not know."

Guan Yongyi shook his head.

"Guan Guan, why do you think a boy would fall in love with someone?"

Zhou Si Ning turned her head to the side, letting her long brown hair flow down to one side, revealing half of her face.

In the faint moonlight, her eyes sparkled, and her delicate jaw was like the arc where the sea and the sky kissed each other.

"You should ask him. There are many reasons why men fall in love with someone."

Guan Yongyi shrugged.

"What about you? Are you curious about what a man likes about you?"

Zhou Sining asked.

"Not curious."

Guan Yongyi pursed his lips, his eyes looking as if he was thinking deeply: "90% of the time, there is only one reason."

"what?"

"I'm better looking."

Guan Yongyi spread his hands bluntly.

“Hahahahahaha~That’s true.”

Zhou Si Ning nodded and chuckled, the sound like a silver bell.

"Because 99% of boys are naked visual animals, superficial and without substance."

"Do you expect them to see through your skin and see your heart?"

Guan Yongyi curled his lips: "Don't even think about it."

"Guan Guan, sometimes I still admire you~"

Zhou Si Ning raised the corner of her mouth and patted her best friend's arm: "You seem to be able to think very clearly about many things."

"But I just can't do it."

"why?"

Guan Yongyi turned his head and met her gaze.

"If I were like you, even though I knew someone loved my face, I would still hope he would lie to me."

"Lie to me, I want your whole heart."
