Chapter 190: 155. The moonlight is serene, waking up from a dream in the dead of night

"Oh my god, so many official media outlets are broadcasting it. He really is... quite something."

Jiangnan Garden, Building 6.

Guan Yongyi and Zhou Sinin, two sisters, had just finished eating Japanese food and were nestled on the sofa watching the latest Korean drama series.

[Douyu’s Ambition: Ace Broadcaster and All Dreams!]

The short-haired girl’s phone suddenly started vibrating.

She leaned over to unlock her phone, bowed her head, and it was an automated push notification from a subscribed public account.

Although most of the content described the grandeur of the Douyu Carnival, the headlines from various official media were more or less the same, but they definitively gave Lu Jincheng a free advertisement.

It had to be admitted that the name of his new product was full of atmospheric vibes and, coincidentally, perfectly matched the theme of this year’s Douyu Carnival.

Even when writing press releases, the name felt incredibly impactful.

Guan Yongyi nudged her best friend with her elbow and handed over the phone screen to show her the headline.

But for some reason, the other party seemed rather distracted when Lu Jincheng was mentioned.

"Pretty amazing, huh."

Zhou Sinin, wearing a floral dress with her legs tucked under, her delicate feet resting on the edge of the sofa, and her arms wrapped around her knees supporting her head.

"His store’s going to make a killing this time, for real."

"What do you mean?"

"I just casually glanced at Taobao, and All Dreams already has over 50,000 pre-orders."

"50,000?"

"Yeah, priced at over a hundred a piece, and this is just the first day on the shelf! The sales are at least five million already."

"Mhm, that is impressive."

"Baby, why do I feel... like you’re not happy?"

Guan Yongyi blinked, shifting her body towards her, and whispered tenderly.

From childhood, the two had developed quite an understanding.

Zhou Sinin’s absent-minded expression was a clear sign that something was on her mind.

"Yeah... a little bit."

Zhou Sinin gazed blankly at the flickering TV screen when she suddenly felt something nudging her calf. Turning her face, she saw the adorable little kitten.

Mian Mian was almost two months old now, having grown considerably since they first brought it home. The fur was soft, shiny, and very pleasant to the touch.

It seemed to pick up on the low pressure from Auntie beside it, just opening its round, blue eyes curiously without making a sound.

"Why is that?"

Guan Yongyi turned her head, full of curiosity.

"What’s happened these past couple of days?"

"I..."

Zhou Sinin played with the hem of her dress, twisting the fabric’s floral pattern into creases, hesitant to speak.

Even she found her own mood odd.

But asking her to speak her reasons outright would be too embarrassing to even contemplate.

So annoying!

"Uncle Zhou returned to Shanghai, and you’re missing him?"

Guan Yongyi wrapped an arm around her best friend’s shoulder, leaning in closer to guess in a low voice.

"It’s not that."

Zhou Sinin bit her upper lip, shaking her head so slightly it was almost imperceptible.

"Hmm... are you feeling down because your period is about to start?"

"No, it’s not that. It’s still a while away."

The girl rubbed the kitten’s head and continued scratching its chin. The ragdoll cat purred contentedly.

So, it wasn’t a physical reason, nor did it have to do with her family. That left...

"Before we went to the Carnival, you were fine, so it must be something that happened at the event, right?"

Guan Yongyi, true to her law student training, dissected the issue with strategic logic and meticulous deduction.

At this, Zhou Sinin pursed her lips, turned her head away, and stopped talking.

Her silence was an admission. The short-haired detective continued her investigation!

"We didn’t have a place to sit, do you think you got tan?"

Mid-sentence, Guan Guan examined her friend’s envy-inducing pale skin, flawless to the touch, and couldn’t see any imperfections.

She shook her head, negating her own suggestion.

"Impossible, you don’t get tan at all."

"Is it because... Lu Jincheng invited us to the Carnival, but then didn’t go out to eat with us afterward, and you’re angry about that?"

"Not at all, am I that petty?"

Zhou Sinin pouted, turning her head to retort.

"Then tell me, it must be because of that guy, Lu Jincheng, that you’re upset!"

Guan Yongyi logically connected the dots.

She had negated the events but not the person, narrowing down the possibilities significantly.

"Mhm."

That was indeed the case.

Zhou Sinin finally nodded, her pale fingers tracing circles on the sofa, her quiet voice almost like a mosquito’s hum.

"You should have said something earlier. What did that jerk do to upset you?"

Guan Yongyi crossed her arms, adopting the same light tone they often used when discussing Lu Jincheng.

"It’s not that he upset me, it’s just..."

Zhou Sinin lifted her head, her watery peach blossom eyes looking to her friend as if naturally blushing.

Her mind replayed that moment and the emotion accompanying it.

The more she thought about it, the clearer and more evident it became.

But it was precisely because of this that she didn’t know how to voice it out.

Would it make her seem strange and petty?

Even now, after the Carnival had ended, Zhou Sinin could still recall that moment’s complex emotions.

It was like a persistent drizzle in the autumn, extinguishing all her good mood.

The last segment of the Douyu Carnival was a red carpet walk.

Mou Keyan, who had become a sensation, became even more stunning after changing out of her JK uniform, appearing alongside her boss by invitation, beautiful as a blooming rose.

She wore a blue strapless gown with a grand updo, exuding sexiness and glamour, and accessorized with a classic LV handbag.

At just twenty, she managed to wear deep red with effortless grace.

The moment she hooked her arm around Lu Jincheng’s, it was as if a marshal’s mistress from the Republican era was invited to a card game, exuding charm and projecting an air of generous confidence.

She looked up, their gazes met, she smiled lightly, glanced around, and then faced forward, walking slowly through. The whole process was executed seamlessly.
