Chapter 195: 157. How could my remaining affection be for someone else_2

Her mind was in complete disarray.

She didn’t want to think about it anymore, it didn’t make sense.

Guan Yongyi narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to clear a heavy sigh from her chest, seeking something to distract her attention.

She stretched her arm and picked up her phone lying not far away.

She could count her friends on one hand, and the only active ones on her message page were just those few.

Just then, a message popped up from the Ran Dong WeChat group, penned by Zhou Sinin.

[Look, Mr. Lu is speaking!]

She sneakily snapped a photo of Lu Jincheng, adding a cute emoticon, and sent it to the group with giggles.

In the photo, Lu Jincheng was in formal attire, his shirt pressed neatly, presenting only a cold, hard profile to anyone not physically present.

Guan Yongyi clicked to download the original image, then used two finger to zoom in for a closer look.

Her initial impression of Lu Jincheng had always been summed up by the words "jerk."

But the true feelings, she had never shared with anyone, including her best friend.

The first time they met at the bar, she had found Lu Jincheng’s profile extremely handsome.

From the forehead to the nose bridge, then down to the lips, chin, and the Adam’s apple—a tortuous yet distinct line.

He was tall with a small face that made his profile even more sculpted.

Lu Jincheng’s features weren’t perfect, but even his flaws were tantalizing.

Perhaps because he was speaking in public, the shape of his lips was like a little exquisite hook, making one want to touch the tip with a fingertip.

Guan Yongyi couldn’t help but lightly tap the screen, causing the image to shrink back to a thumbnail, blurring the edges.

Just as she was about to reopen the image, Lu Jincheng also sent a photo.

Of course, it was Zhou Sinin with her delicate makeup and beaming smile.

[Ninin looks so beautiful.]

The man added a teasing comment after.

In fact, this kind of flattery was all too common in the Ran Dong group.

Whenever Guan Yongyi or Zhou Sinin posted a selfie, he was always generous with his compliments.

As usual.

But Guan Yongyi just felt a sudden, nameless rage, an inexplicable irritation.

Thud.

Another muted response.

She flung her phone aside, thankful that the couch was big and soft enough to cushion her impulsiveness.

Even Mian Mian seemed to sense something was amiss. It lay quietly on top of Guan Yongyi, cutely turning its head and nuzzling her palm with its cheek.

After a while, Guan Yongyi bent over and picked up her phone from beside her, opening WeChat.

Everything was normal, nothing amiss.

It’s just a photo, all very normal.

Guan Yongyi, what are you doing?

What are you angry about?

Her chest heaved as she tried to convince herself not to have any strange reactions.

But her fingers acted on their own, pressing and holding on the contact named Lu Jincheng, and then...

— Hide this chat, unpin from the top.

The operation flowed like water, done in one breath.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Then, she accessed the Ran Dong WeChat group, tapped the three dots in the upper right corner, scrolling down to the bottom.

She stared at the bold red [Exit Group] and spaced out for a while.

No, exiting the group would be too weird.

Everything’s fine, why would I want to leave the group?

She suppressed the impulse in her heart, swiped the screen to exit the WeChat interface, huffed, and opened Cloud Music, randomly playing a song to soothe her mood.

A few seconds later, the guitar strummed lightly.

"The empty streets, seeking someone to pour my feelings into~"

It was Ah Sang’s "Always Quiet," perfectly fitting for times of solitude.

Guan Yongyi’s eyelashes drooped as she exhaled longingly, sinking into the gentle music, her emotions sinking deep like an ocean.

"Clearly a movie for three, yet I’m never credited with a name~"

Humming along with the tune, she had just settled and closed her eyes.

Suddenly, the lyrics struck her, and her voice stopped abruptly.

The short-haired girl jolted up, tossing Mian Mian aside, and stormed over to the Bluetooth speaker, angrily turning off the still-flowing music.

Damn it!

What, is this song implying something?

Does the daily recommend even understand random?

So annoying, so annoying, so annoying!

The living room returned to silence, and Guan Yongyi buried herself in the sofa like an ostrich.

It took a full half-hour before she managed to regain a bit of clarity from her tangled thoughts.

One distinctive trait of law students is that through long-term training and practice, they can quickly detach from emotions to look at the facts.

Guan Yongyi stood up, picked up a teacup, and patiently brewed herself a pot of tea, staring blankly at the steam rising in front of her.

Back to the facts, back to logic.

In the foreseeable future, the change in Zhou Sinin’s relationship with him was almost a certainty.

Would the two of them start dating?

Guan Yongyi knew.

Liking to ambiguity, and then from ambiguity to being together, were two different things.

Zhou Sinin liked him, but it was unclear whether he liked Zhou Sinin, and it wasn’t certain they would get together quickly.

But...

With Zhou Sinin’s personality, after spending so much time together, how many could resist falling for her?

The little princess, pampered from childhood, had not only been graced by heaven with stunning beauty but was also clever and full of emotional intelligence.

Zhou Sinin was one of the rare friends who understood her past and could tolerate her whims today.

Her grasp on interpersonal relations was nearly impeccable, and she was attentive to others’ emotions.

She was truly great, flawless even under a magnifying glass.

Guan Yongyi had to admit, if she were in Lu Jincheng’s shoes and faced with a girl like Zhou Sinin, she too would have no resistance.
