Chapter 106: 96. Buy him something

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, replaced by the roaring noise of the Dyson hair dryer.

Zhou Sinin had long hair that reached her waist, and drying it often took more than ten minutes, much longer than her own.

Guan Yongyi calculated the time in her mind, carried Mian Mian over to one side, and walked barefoot to the living room.

She didn’t know why...

Perhaps it was the heat from tonight’s Cantonese food, perhaps it was the exertion from singing, or perhaps it was for some reason she couldn’t quite fathom.

She always felt a dry mouth, a heavy heart, and an indescribable emotion.

She opened the refrigerator, cola on the left, and the craft beer she had seen on Xiaohongshu on the right.

Without any hesitation, she reached for a bottle of Lost Coast Whale from the right, stood on tiptoes to grab the bottle opener, and with a muted pop.

It was a classic craft beer, poured into the glass with thick clouds of bubbles, the aroma of hops wafting elegantly, and a refreshing fragrance assailing the senses.

Glug, glug.

The cold sensation slid down her throat, Guan Yongyi took a big gulp, the full-bodied aroma rushed to her head.

So bitter!

Completely different from the beers at the KTV.

Why is it so bitter?

But, it’s quite invigorating...

Guan Yongyi finally found some sensation.

"Guan Guan! What are you doing?"

The bathroom door opened and Zhou Sinin leaned her head to one side, combing her brown hair with one hand, surprised to see her friend drinking alone.

"Haven’t you had enough to drink while singing?"

"Ah... I’m a bit thirsty."

Guan Yongyi stammered.

"No more drinking for you, your face is all red already, go take a shower!"

Zhou Sinin snatched the beer glass from in front of Guan Yongyi and pointed to the steamy bathroom.

Just a bottom of Triple IPA was left, and to prevent the drunkenness from continuing, Zhou Sinin first sniffed the hoppy scent from the glass, found it fragrant, then tipped her head back and downed the remaining amber liquid.

So bitter, so bitter!

What kind of beer is this!

Guan Yongyi went through all the routine, dried her hair, changed into pajamas, and found Zhou Sinin already playing with her phone on the bed.

"Guan Guan! Come here, help me choose some photos."

Zhou Sinin called out with a smile.

She propped her face in her hands, lay on the big bed, the black sleeping dress draping naturally, a pair of slender, fair legs raised in the air, tight and smooth skin on the thighs, and cherry red dots between her toes all visible under the moonlight.

Guan Yongyi climbed onto the bed, snuggled up to her, their heads touching.

"This one, and this one, how about I post them on my Moments?"

The two had been together since daytime, having a big meal at noon, shopping in the afternoon, and a birthday party at night, they had taken who knows how many photos.

"Looks good! I don’t think you need to edit them, the original pictures are fine as is."

Guan Yongyi affirmed.

On the screen, were the a grid of photos Zhou Sinin had chosen, documenting the whole day’s scenes.

There were landscapes, gourmet dishes, and Guan Yongyi’s beautiful angles in the evening breeze.

The last photo was more whimsical, with the three of them with cream smeared on their faces, grinning and making peace signs in a group shot.

"Shall I post it?"

"Go ahead."

Guan Yongyi was used to her friend’s exuberant vitality and desire to express herself.

In fact, given her personality, if Zhou Sinin wasn’t this type of girl, it would have been difficult for them to become close friends.

People with exuberant vitality seemed to share one common trait.

They are tireless in their pursuit of life.

The seriousness when investing in stocks, the screams when receiving their first income, stopping to admire wildflowers while biking, the satisfied smiles when eating barbeque, and the naive look of having no anxiety about the future.

Always bright and cute.

Having known her friend for so long, it seemed like Guan Yongyi lived a clearer life, but in fact, she was the one who got looked after more.

Zhou Sinin would come up with whimsical ideas, dragging her on trips to unfamiliar cities, feeding seagulls with bread bought for ten yuan for three bags, discussing future ideals after getting tipsy, or buying an Ultraman mask to joyfully prance around at home.

She had been dragged into all sorts of silly things by Zhou Sinin and then promptly forgot about them.

Like wind rushing through the evening glow, as if nothing had happened.

"Done! It’s sent!"

Zhou Sinin happily edited the text, arranged the pictures, and clicked send.

After updating her Moments, she habitually scrolled down, refreshing the screen.

"Huh? The sun must be rising from the west because you’re actually posting on Moments!"

Following the refresh, Guan Yongyi’s name and status update stood out.

But unlike the carefully selected grid of nine that she used, Guan Yongyi had posted just one photo.

No caption, no editing, no additional setting.

The photo was a candid moment, a Polaroid next to a petite cat.

"...I’m happy today."

Guan Yongyi responded with pursed lips.

Her family’s control was airtight; she hardly ever shared anything on social media, fearing it might get twisted, blown out of proportion, analyzed.

Despite similar family backgrounds, she was the exact opposite of the freely raised Zhou Sinin.

"Aren’t you worried Aunt Lin will see it and start asking a bunch of questions?"

Zhou Sinin raised an eyebrow.

"I’ve already blocked her from the group."

"Ha-ha-ha-ha, didn’t you say before that it wasn’t necessary?"

"Zhou Sinin, you talk too much."

In the dark, someone blushed.

"By the way, Guan Guan, let me tell you!"

Zhou Sinin seemed to remember something, turned her head, and leaned close to her best friend.

"Mm?"

"I didn’t get a chance to tell you yesterday, but Golden Stone Cafe’s settlement from last month is out!"

"And?"

"A total of xxxx, and in my hands, I got about xxxx..."

Zhou Sinin whispered into her ear.

"That much?"

Guan Yongyi blinked.

Though she had started to trust Lu Jincheng’s capabilities after spending so much time together, ...

The figure was definitely unexpected.

How much does a golden lawyer from Le Ying Law Firm make in a month without worrying about cases?

Her best friend, just starting her freshman year, could almost compete with such a person!

And she remembered that Lu Jincheng had only signed a contract with the landlord, with no written promises to Zhou Sinin.

Was he really playing by the rules?

She grew curious.

"Also, don’t you think, it’s very inconvenient for him to keep coming and going?"

Zhou Sinin smoothly changed the subject.

"What do you mean?"

"Like, when we go out together, he has to hitch a ride with us, or if he suddenly has something to do, he comes over to borrow one."

Zhou Sinin curled her legs, arms wrapped around her knees, her eyes sparkling.

"Aren’t you always telling me about those weird cases, saying never to lend your car to someone!"

"So..."

Guan Yongyi had a vague, almost incredulous idea.

"Look, I didn’t really contribute much to the shop, and the investment was recouped a while ago."

"But he’s still abiding by the verbal agreement, a six-figure income, split as soon as said, right?"

The short-haired girl nodded, listening to the girl in the dark continue.

"So, I want to buy him a car!"

"...Huh?"
