Chapter 342: 256. Generously accept gifts

Jiangnan Garden.

Zhou Sinin dove into the bathroom early in the morning and spent a good hour until her fair skin turned a rosy hue from the steam before she wrapped her hair up and came out.

There were many benefits to not living on campus.

One of the most important was being able to do whatever she wanted at home without having to worry about a roommate’s gaze or living habits.

Before she came to Jiang City to study, Zhou Sinin loved walking around her room naked, showing off her graceful, elongated body after a bath.

Since her parents were divorced, there were no males at home, and she could be as unrestrained and carefree as she wanted.

She watched television, played on the computer, and read books all while naked.

It wasn’t clear why she enjoyed it so much, it wasn’t to attract anyone’s gaze—her mother was mostly not at home anyhow—it was just a particularly relaxing and languid feeling she liked.

Occasionally, while leaning on the sofa and looking at her two long legs crossed together, so white, delicate, and straight like two long icicles, not even a wrinkle at the knees, she couldn’t help but feel happy.

This kind of freedom to do as one pleased was a luxury in the collective living environment of Jiang City.

Only in her best friend’s little world could Zhou Sinin feel a bit free to spread her wings.

After her bath, she dried off the water droplets from her body with a towel, walked back to the bedroom barefoot, and found Guan Yongyi still sleeping.

The short-haired girl’s sleeping face was adorable, with long lashes fluttering slightly, and her legs were crossed, one over the other, tightly holding her down quilt.

Zhou Sinin tiptoed and picked up the clothes piled on one side without disturbing her, then returned to the living room to start dressing up and putting on makeup.

Only after she was almost done did she raise her voice to greet her best friend.

"Guan Guan, I’m leaving now, okay?"

"What time is it..."

Guan Yongyi rubbed her eyes, awakened from her dreams by the clanking of her best friend’s bottles and jars, and covered her yawn with her left hand.

"I need to go back early and change clothes, I came over yesterday without bringing anything."

Zhou Sinin sat in front of the vanity mirror on a small stool, just having applied toner, and turned her head with a smile towards her.

Today was Christmas.

She was filled with anticipation for the date later on.

Of course, there was another reason she was leaving her best friend’s house so early—a subtle reason she couldn’t quite express.

She didn’t really want Lu Jincheng to come and pick her up from Guan Yongyi’s house for a date.

Although Zhou Sinin considered herself open-minded and substantial, believing her best friend would have a basic sense of boundaries and wouldn’t want to be a third wheel on such a ceremonious day.

But what if?

She didn’t want there to be a "what if."

"It’s only nine o’clock, sis. Can’t you sleep a little more? Who goes out on a date this early?"

Guan Yongyi walked to the living room in slippers, glanced at the quartz clock with her chin raised, and couldn’t help but complain.

Please, I know you’re going out with a man for Christmas.

But do you need to be this eager?

"Hahaha, you’ve never been in love, you don’t understand."

Zhou Sinin patted her cheeks in front of the mirror, her eyes curved with joy, quite pleased with her complexion today.

She stood up, pulled her coat off the rack with one hand, picked up her purse, and didn’t forget to tease her best friend.

"Fresh love is more important than anything else~"

"Didn’t you used to love this song? Now I’m dedicating it to you!"

Zhou Sinin stepped into her shoes with high spirits, singing an awkward but emotive Cantonese song, smiling and waving at Guan Yongyi.

"Hehe, I’m off~"

"Get lost, get lost, get lost."

Guan Yongyi glared at her fiercely, grumpily said.

This was a tit-for-tat response.

Back when neither of the girls has been in love, Zhou Sinin often listened to Guan Yongyi’s theories on understanding.

The sisters would often sit in a café or some quiet place, sharing one pair of headphones.

During those times, Guan Yongyi would play songs, narrating the stories behind the music.

She would say that most of Twins’ songs were all about love, like "I Really Want to Love Him" or "Secret Love for Tutoring."

And "Love is More Important Than Anything Else," the very song Zhou Sinin had just sung a few lines from.

In the end, Guan Guan brought up that Yang Qianhua’s songs were actually right for her.

Because she wanted to become the Heroine, stepping onto Fenli Road, embarking on a reckless and daring venture.

And Zhou Sinin would always listen attentively.

Until she herself fell deeply in love she realized Guan Guan was nothing but an armchair strategist.

...

"Here, your Christmas present!"

Although Zhou Sinin had an early start, by the time she met up with her boyfriend, it was already noon.

As soon as the girl appeared at the gate of Finance University, less than a hundred meters away, she once again deeply captivated Lu Jincheng.

Christmas outfits inevitably included the festive color red.

Zhou Sinin today wore a trench coat over a purple-red long skirt, paired with flesh-tone stockings and silver mid-heel shoes, tightly hugging her slender figure, her pale cheeks doing a shy dance of pink in the cold wind.

"Don’t open it, okay? Wait until you get back."

She opened the car door, stuffed a small box in the empty space of the back seat, her face brimming with smiles.

"Why do you always give me presents?"

At a glance, Mr. Lu was also quite dashing.

With a deliberately messy hairstyle, and a camel-colored British style turtleneck, he sat in the driver’s seat squinting his eyes, one hand propped near the car window, supporting his cheek, and watched her with interest.

"I just got a scarf from you, and now a present, I feel so embarrassed."

"What is there to be embarrassed about? Giving gifts for the holidays is very normal, who keeps score when in love!"
