Chapter 103: 94. A group photo of him and them

Zhou Sinin and Guan Yongyi slept until the broad daylight.

Breakfast turned into lunch, and after getting dressed and putting on makeup, the two chose The boots, a western restaurant with muddy boots at Light Valley Square.

They only ordered one pan-fried salmon, one baked egg, one salad, two cups of fresh-squeezed fruit juice, and one chestnut cake.

"Guan Guan, it’s always so comfortable to eat with you~"

After placing their order, Zhou Sinin said to her best friend, quite relaxed.

"Do you know why?"

Guan Yongyi turned her head, "What, because we eat less together?"

"Exactly!"

Zhou Sinin laughed cheerfully, revealing two shallow dimples.

"Us girls only need drinks, desserts, salad, and protein when dining, always feeling so fresh and clean, no need for mains!"

Guan Yongyi nodded in agreement, "That’s true."

Girlfriends getting together for a meal is never about eating their fill, but for chatting.

"It’s just not the same with guys, they always want to eat their fill, wolfing down meat and noodles, you end up feeling like you have indigestion after just one meal."

Zhou Sinin shrugged her shoulders.

"Looks like you’ve been eating quite a lot lately."

Guan Yongyi teased.

"Not really... just thinking about how I might have to eat a lot tonight and couldn’t help comparing."

Zhou Sinin stuck out her tongue, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Speaking of which, the restaurant tonight is so far away, how is he going to get there later?"

"Should we go pick him up?"

Guan Yongyi asked.

"He said it’s not necessary, I’ve sent him the location, he can just take a taxi when the time comes."

"That’s really inconvenient."

...

...

When Lu Jincheng reached the designated location, the evening glow still hung in the summer sky, not yet dispersed.

As dusk fell in Jiang City, sparse neon lights came to life, and the red taillights of vehicles strung together like a chain of blood-red beads during rush hour.

[Top floor of the building, don’t get it wrong~]

The windows of the skyscraper are the eyes of this city, and the more eyes it owns, the more views one can see from within the city.

But more often than not, these eyes are either open or shut.

Quietly observing, are just the vehicles shuttling through the steel, concrete, and urban jungle, and the harried ants with nothing to their name.

Lu Jincheng pressed the elevator button, ascending slowly.

This was a Cantonese restaurant with an average spending in the four digits, reserved in advance by Guan Yongyi.

"I tell you, that guy’s husband... simply an eyesore!"

The private room door wasn’t closed, and the sound of gossip could just barely be heard from outside.

He walked into the room, and two stunning beauties, each with their unique charm, came into view.

For girls, the birthday is destined to be a day filled with a sense of ceremony.

Guan Yongyi, exceptionally, did her makeup fully, with an exquisitely beautiful face.

She’s naturally a type of beauty with a strong presence, and today, in a break from her norm, her short hair was meticulously styled, without her usual black-framed glasses that obscured her aura, replaced with a pair of dark contact lenses.

One look and you could see her delicate, well-defined nose and prominent lips, especially those spirited eyebrows that added several degrees of sharp handsomeness to her, not falling short of any Hong Kong actress.

Zhou Sinin, on the other hand, had a different style.

Today, she wore a white blouse with a bow tied just right at the collar, paired with a dark pleated skirt and a pair of British-style leather shoes.

With her best friend setting the bar, her makeup was also more exquisite than usual.

Light base eyeshadow, long lashes curled to perfection, lips lined above the delicate nose, and brown hair cascaded by her ears, alluringly hazy in the evening sun.

The two of them sitting on the same side, chatting about gossip, were quite a sight.

"Ah? Isn’t that poor sister in a terrible situation then?"

"Nothing can be done, it just shows she was too eager to get into a relationship and saw the wrong man."

Upon seeing Lu Jincheng enter, the two stopped their conversation.

"You’re here, want to take a look and see what you’d like to eat?"

Guan Yongyi pushed the menu towards Lu Jincheng, her gaze immediately landing on the pink cube hanging from his neck.

"Polaroid?"

Zhou Sinin also noticed the little item Mr. Lu brought, reaching out with curiosity.

She took a look, and it indeed was.

"You see, he’s always so attentive."

Girls generally aren’t strangers to instant cameras.

But it’s rare for a guy to bring something like this to a meal when it’s not a travel outing.

"I’ll take a few pictures for you later, since it’s a birthday."

Lu Jincheng smiled and placed the camera on an empty chair nearby.

"To have a keepsake."

This pink instant camera was actually a little prop he had casually found in Mou Keyan’s bag.

He had the bright idea to bring it along when they left, making good use of it.

Whoever’s birthday it was footed the bill and Lu Jincheng didn’t hesitate to order a few dishes he wanted to eat, smoothly joining in their new conversation topic.

"What are you talking about?"

"..."

"Guan Guan, check out this Kevin on my WeChat, is it the same person you were just talking about?"

The man handed over his phone screen, and Guan Yongyi leaned forward to look, her eyes showing surprise.

It’s a perfect match!

"Yes, that’s him! You know him?"

"No wonder... no wonder he doesn’t want to get a divorce."

Lu Jincheng suddenly understood.

"He’s a youth league leader at our school, the perfect husband in the eyes of his colleagues. If this got out, how would he survive at school?"

"That doesn’t mean you can sacrifice someone else’s happiness though."

Zhou Sinin twirled the straw in her juice and chimed in.

"Alright, alright, the dishes are ready, let’s not talk about work while eating."

Soon, dish after dish was brought to the table, and Guan Yongyi waved her hands as she spoke.

"Da-da-da-da! The cake is coming!"

Zhou Sinin quickly ran to the other side of the private room and placed the 8-inch birthday cake she had prepared early right in the center of the table.

Lu Jincheng and she worked together to arrange the small plates, inserting two candles that represented age into the cake and setting it before Guan Yongyi, the numbers ’19’ basking in her beaming smile.

"Come over here, I’ll take a picture of you two."

Lu Jincheng lifted the instant camera and nodded towards Zhou Sinin, signaling her.

The sisters sat together, one tilting her head left, the other right, with matching curved smiles and scissors hands perfectly aligned.

"Okay, hold that pose, don’t move, and smile~"

"I’m talking to you, Guan Yongyi! Smile for me!"

Click!

Mr. Lu captured a most beautiful shot and pressed the shutter.

The instant camera whirred, dispensing a snapshot of a girl’s night out.

"That’s pretty! No wonder everyone asks you to take photos."

"Guan Guan, you just don’t like to smile, you look so good when you do!"

The thick photo paper gradually revealed its colors as the two leaned in together, chattering away, clearly very satisfied with Lu Jincheng’s skills.

"Can I use your lighter to light the candles?"

Zhou Sinin remembered the next step and reached out to Lu Jincheng with a smile.

"Wait a second..."

Guan Yongyi hesitated, then turned to press the call button for service, gently tapping it.

"Excuse me, could you please take a picture of the three of us?"

"Of course, madam, no problem."

The waiter at the high-end restaurant responded very quickly, immediately taking the camera from Lu Jincheng.

"Come on over!"

Lu Jincheng watched the girl wave him over, pondered for a few seconds, not choosing to sit next to either one, and finally found the perfect spot.

—Behind the two of them.

He placed his left hand on Zhou Sinin’s shoulder and wrapped his right arm around Guan Yongyi, bending his knees slightly, and brought his head close to the two seated girls, forming a stable triangle.

"The lady with the short hair, tilt your head a little, good, good."

"Smile, say ’eggplant’~"

"3, 2, 1!"

Click!

Another photo took shape.

The food was exquisite, the cake tempting.

The three of them huddled close together, their smiles radiant.
