Chapter 233: 177. Their relationship households

Although the WeChat group had become quieter, the affection between close friends remained unchanged.

Two days later, the two made lunch plans at the school’s Tenth Canteen, also known as Huanhu Garden.

The third-floor restaurant had the nicest ambiance and was aptly named Follow Your Destiny.

They offered a wide variety of dishes and beverages, suitable for gatherings as well as individual selections.

"Guan Guan! Over here, over here~"

Zhou Sinin had finished picking her meal and, having secured a spot with her purse, waved cheerfully at the short-haired girl.

"I haven’t had roast goose rice in so long, I’ve actually been craving it."

Guan Yongyi walked over with her tray, set down her roast goose rice on the table, pulled out a tissue to wipe the chair, and sat down across from her while smoothing out the hem of her skirt.

"Hey, you look amazing in that outfit!"

Zhou Sinin sipped her milk tea and scrutinized the entirely new style of Guan Yongyi, her eyes unwittingly widening.

On Guan Guan was the JK uniform skirt that had sold out across the internet from Tanhua Customization.

All Dreams.

A shirt on top, a pleated skirt on the bottom, with 24 neat, sharp pleats on the hemline, the milky yellow base bright and clean.

At the same time, she wore a scarf around her neck and over-the-knee socks in the same color, with matching accessories that clearly showed it was a well-crafted custom piece.

Different from Guan Yongyi’s usual Hong Kong fashion sense, this uniform seemed to transport her back to her youthful campus days in high school.

From a cool beauty with a sporty short haircut, she had transformed into the girl-next-door, jade-like and delicate.

"So gorgeous... Oh my god, that’s a custom piece, isn’t it? That scarf looks familiar."

Zhou Sinin couldn’t stop staring at her, her gaze filled with admiration.

Who knew a JK uniform could look this good when worn?

If she had known, she would have given it a try herself.

And there were so many items that could be matched with a little skirt like that, both sweet and sassy, a real versatile outfit.

"Yeah, that’s right, didn’t he mention one piece per person in the group? You have a custom piece too."

Guan Yongyi said calmly.

Of course it looks familiar, sis, it’s the one you’ve kept unopened in your closet.

"Ah... mine was sent to the wrong address, it’s still on its way."

Zhou Sinin seemed to notice something else and, forgetting her meal for a moment, exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Guan Yongyi! You actually did your eyebrows and eyeshadow!"

Guan Yongyi was a naturally striking beauty, with thick, dense eyebrows and large double eyelids that seemed to be the handiwork of a master creator.

As a result, her makeup routine was usually quite casual, rarely focusing on what were already her most prominent features.

"What’s it to you! Eat your food, can’t a girl put on some makeup?"

Guan Yongyi shot her a look and took a sip of her oolong tea.

"Recently, some new interns came to the law firm, and they really put effort into their makeup. I need to keep up!"

"I never thought someone as indifferent to others’ opinions as you would ever get caught up in the hustle..."

Zhou Sinin giggled, her laughter chiming like bells.

"One has to learn and progress, right?"

Guan Yongyi shrugged.

"Hold on, what are you doing at the university today?"

The sharp Zhou Sinin finally remembered the main topic.

Usually, even if Guan Yongyi had classes at the university, she wouldn’t bother with lunch there.

She had to go home to be with Mian Mian and never missed her afternoon nap.

The Law School rarely had afternoon classes, and after the early morning ones, she generally had little to do, which was one of the reasons she could comfortably intern at a law firm outside.

"Professor Li from our Law School has formed a research group to guide us in writing a paper."

"Writing a paper?"

"Yeah, it’s about intellectual property."

Guan Yongyi nodded.

"So it is... that’s a good thing, can you not always stay at home then? You can come to school more often!"

"Ah, it’s annoying, my course load is already heavy enough."

Guan Yongyi complained.

"Is everyone in the research group elite? You were able to join a research group formed by a professor in your first year, that’s really impressive!"

Zhou Sinin wasn’t academically oriented, so she didn’t quite grasp all the intricacies.

She had only heard bits and pieces when older students shared their experiences, and knew that the finance major was even more difficult than law to produce results in.

Thus, as a fellow freshman, she always felt her best friend was somewhat amazing.

"Elites? Uh, sort of..."

Guan Yongyi put down her chopsticks, thinking of a certain someone who stubbornly refused to be the first author and couldn’t help but smile.

"Not everyone is elite, there’s a connected person that a teacher brought in, and there’s my own connected person."

"Your connected person?"

Zhou Sinin asked curiously.

"It’s Lu Jincheng. Isn’t he working on JK uniforms? Now there are knockoffs of this design on the market, so he can provide some data support."

Guan Yongyi pointed to her own clothes with her left hand, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

"If it’s really accepted by the journal, it can add some honor for him since he skips class every day and it’ll be tough to pass the final exams."

"That makes sense..."

Zhou Sinin nodded in agreement.

"So you just said there’s a meeting for the research group, will he come too?"

"Yeah, at two o’clock. We can eat slowly, no rush."

Guan Yongyi lifted her wrist and leisurely placed a small piece of roast goose into her mouth.

"..."

Zhou Sinin felt something was off.

But looking at the clearly good mood of Guan Yongyi, she couldn’t quite figure it out.

...

"Professor Li, this is Lu Jincheng from neighboring Nanhu University, who is responsible for providing data and case studies."

In room 302 of the Law School building, in an empty classroom, four people sat.

The first to arrive was a short-haired girl, a tall and large boy, and a middle-aged woman with an elegant demeanor.

"Hello, Professor Li, I look forward to your guidance."

After being introduced by Guan Yongyi, Lu Jincheng stood up and gestured to the supervising teacher.

Two minutes later, another male student pushed open the classroom door, nodded at everyone, and his gaze locked firmly on Guan Yongyi.

The latter turned her face coldly and immediately turned her head away.

"This is Luo Yongfei, also a fresher from the Law School this year, he will complete the project with us."

Li Suying tapped on the whiteboard and briefly introduced the newcomer, then started to explain the approach and the basic framework to everyone.

"...So, as I just said, if we’re aiming for a core journal, then it’s a big project and we must not take it lightly."

"Everyone should clearly divide up the work for each part, now that the theme has been determined..."

Li Suying, as a senior professor at the Law School, was quite professional in guiding theses.

Not only the two law students, but even Lu Jincheng was listening attentively.

"Alright, let’s proceed with the division of work I just mentioned. At our next meeting, I want to see a literature review with clear logic."

Li Suying was busy.

"Luo Yongfei, come with me for a moment."

She didn’t have much time to explain the basics to undergraduates, especially in the absence of results, and after instructing them in basic methods, she left the classroom.

"Who is that guy? Why do you look so displeased when you see him?"

Lu Jincheng, being very observant, immediately noticed Guan Yongyi’s discomfort.
