Chapter 241: Lend me a shield for a moment.
Gazing into each other’s eyes at close range set hearts racing.
So what about taking it one step further?
If you were to ask Guan Yongyi what kissing felt like,
it would probably be...
a complete blank in the mind.
Touching fleetingly yet retreating after a brief taste, the sweetness connected and then receded, a dizzying shock that electrified the entire body.
So sweet.
He was cool to the touch, yet so gentle.
The boy even carried the slightest hint of lemon; the alcohol scent was nowhere to be found, it had unwittingly transformed into the most enjoyable and comfortable fragrance in her mind.
Soft and fluffy, fragrant and steaming, soaking wet.
All in all, it was quite marvelous.
Her heart rate had already hit its maximum threshold, a single kiss, like releasing the gates of emotion, preparing for the onrush of a breaking dam.
Guan Yongyi’s arms around the man had long shifted up to his neck; she squeezed her eyes shut, her expressions sweet amidst her inexperienced cooperation.
Buzz, buzz...
Lu Jincheng’s phone began to ring.
Meaning, the final three-minute countdown had officially begun.
He loosened the arm that was holding Guan Yongyi, reaching into his own pocket, trying to pull out his phone.
"emmmm~"
Unexpectedly, Guan Guan felt his movement too, humming a descending scale from her nostrils.
The message was clear; at this time, you’re not allowed to move.
Not even for the most important matters.
She had unexpectedly unleashed an unforeseen clinginess.
"Mhm."
Mr. Lu, upon seeing this, could only respond in kind with a nasal murmur.
He silenced the phone through his trousers and covertly timed the duration in his mind.
The two were still locked in a fervent kiss, their communication relying entirely on the hums and murmurs of their nasal breaths to maintain an unspoken understanding.
It was as if she could see everything even with her eyes closed, grabbing at thin air and patting down, firmly placing the man’s arm back around her.
Eyes opened, she was aloof; eyes closed, she was passionate.
Guan Yongyi was maddeningly contradictory.
It was this unique charm that made her worth Mr. Lu taking so much time and patience.
He planned carefully, gauging the time and his exertion, each step thoroughly calculated.
To conquer Guan Yongyi at just the right moment, he had purposefully left some things at her place, then arranged to meet up.
Although Zhou Sinin’s call was an unforeseen event, Lu Jincheng still made the most rational plans and reactions.
He dealt with the guard, orchestrated the timing, and counted down to build the ambiance.
Up to this moment, he considered all his responses to be within his control.
That included Zhou Sinin, who was about to arrive upstairs.
Three minutes, two minutes, one minute.
That’s not right...
She...she’s getting addicted to kissing?
Lu Jincheng gently pushed Guan Yongyi, but she hugged him even tighter.
He patted her back, the short-haired girl acting as if she felt nothing.
Forty seconds, thirty seconds, twenty...
Now Mr. Lu was finding it difficult to maintain his composure; he slightly withdrew his head and pressed Guan Yongyi’s shoulders, forcibly separating them.
"Go remove your makeup, you only have twenty seconds left."
"Ah ah ah!"
Shock hit Guan Yongyi like electricity, snapping back to reality.
She immediately turned her head, not even glancing at Lu Jincheng, and, barefoot, ran straight to the bathroom.
Despite Mr. Lu possessing a stalwart heart that stood unflinching in all situations, his words remained calm, but facing such a scenario could still give him the sensation of dancing on a knife’s edge.
He picked up the purse, put away the phone, and turned it to silent mode.
Then he focused intently, pressing close to the security door, listening for sounds from outside.
OK, she hadn’t come up yet.
He let out a long breath.
But the next second he opened the door, the sound of footsteps approaching from below reached his ears, and his heart plummeted.
Guan Yongyi’s place was on the third floor, and there was no need for an elevator.
The person coming up the stairs had to be Zhou Sinin.
In a flash of decision-making, he made the most rational move again.
Lu Jincheng gently closed the door behind him, dashed towards the stairwell, and climbed to the fourth floor.
He would wait for Zhou Sinin to enter the apartment before going back downstairs; this was the safest plan.
And true to expectations.
A few seconds later, a brown-haired girl with a backpack appeared at the door of 301 and rang the doorbell.
"Babe, why did you only just get here?"
"The road was jammed today, it’s so weird..."
Zhou Sinin laughed gleefully, followed by a dull thud.
The door closed.
...
...
"Why are you drinking again?"
As soon as she entered, Zhou Sinin sniffed an unfamiliar scent of alcohol.
She wasn’t a die-hard drinker who could distinguish between beer and cocktails by smell. Seeing the two empty craft beer cans on the table and then looking at Guan Yongyi’s flushed cheeks,
she knew the answer.
"Just a little drink, a little cheer..."
Guan Yongyi was still lost in the dreamy three minutes she had just experienced, unable to pull herself out of it.
Luckily, she had just washed her face with cold water and, faster than lightning, removed her makeup, which helped sober her up a bit.
But just a bit.
"I’m telling you, don’t always drink; it’s bad for your health."
Zhou Sinin crouched near the sofa and rubbed the little head of the ragdoll cat, flipping its entire body over, her fingertips sinking into the fluffy fur of Mian Mian’s belly.
"Why is Mian Mian so lazy today? Just like her mom."
"Maybe she’s had enough play..."
Guan Yongyi nestled on the sofa, drawing circles while rubbing her eyes.
Of course, today someone had already played with her.
Played until even seeing the cat toy left her without any energy.
"Hey, weren’t you going to participate in the research group discussion today? How did it go?"
There was no difference between a best friend’s home and her own.
Zhou Sinin, in slippers, went to the master bedroom to change into pajamas, then sat next to Guan Yongyi stretching lazily like always.
"Oh! I forgot to gossip with you, guess who I met at the research group?"
"Who?"
Zhou Sinin’s eyes widened with curiosity.
"Luo Yongfei! Professor Li actually squeezed him in. To protect him, he really stops at nothing."
"Hahaha, I can understand. Did he join the research group to chase after you?"
"Not likely... It must have been Professor Li who decided on his own. He probably didn’t know I was in it beforehand. Anyway, it’s not important."
Guan Yongyi shrugged her shoulders slightly, pursing her lips.
"So now with him in there, won’t discussions and sharing work like drafting the paper be annoying?"
"Exactly."
Guan Yongyi bowed her head, let out a long sigh, leaned back on the couch with a vacant gaze.
"Just thinking about it is annoying. I don’t know if anyone can save me..."
"Look at you, being so negative, why?"
Zhou Sinin hugged her friend’s arm, her eyes brimming with mirth: "There’s another guy in the research group, right?"
"Just use him as a shield! Anyway, you all know each other so well."
"Huh?"
Guan Yongyi shook her head, feeling like she was drunk and hadn’t sobered up yet.
"Are you talking about Lu Jincheng?"
"What’s wrong? With his character, he’d be definitely willing."
"Better not, it’s not really appropriate, just in case someone misunderstands..."
Guan Yongyi lowered her voice.
"Misunderstand what? Isn’t it exactly so that Luo Yongfei misunderstands that you’re finding him? Who else would misunderstand?"
Zhou Sinin blinked.
Luo Yongfei, she knew him.
An unscrupulous scion, ever since school started, had been pestering Guan Yongyi.
Having finally moved out of school, they ended up entangled again due to the thesis through some stroke of misfortune.
Under such circumstances, apart from Lu Jincheng, the devil-may-care character, she couldn’t think of anyone else who could lend a hand and give Guan Yongyi a breather.
"...No, it’s a bit weird."
"What’s so weird about it?"
"Who uses a best friend’s boyfriend as a shield!"
"It hasn’t gotten to that step yet..."
Zhou Sinin’s face turned red, she stuck out her tongue playfully, looking very adorable.
"Eh, so how far have you two gone?"
Guan Yongyi sat up straight, her bright eyes fixated on Zhou Sinin.
"qi..."
"Hm?"
"Kiss."
Zhou Sinin grabbed her friend’s hand and gently kissed the back of it.
