Chapter 362: 271. Let’s talk about tomorrow’s matters tomorrow.

"Hello, I’m about to go to bed, what’s up, baby?"

Once the man had hidden himself away, Guan Yongyi had switched to a languorous, sleepy voice the moment she answered the call.

Among sisters, of course, there was no such thing as a roll call.

As long as there were no traces of a man in her room, Guan Guan felt no guilt.

Sure enough, Zhou Sinin had a reason for her call.

"Take a look, is it okay to feed Mian Mian this much of its little treats?"

On the screen, the brunette girl was holding three cat sticks and waved at Guan Yongyi with a smile.

Before leaving on her business trip, Guan Yongyi entrusted her precious pet to her.

Zhou Sinin wasn’t sloppy either, settling into her best friend’s home that very night, taking over feeding and watering duties, and even playing with Mian Mian for a good while with a cat toy.

"Just feed one, don’t give so many, you’re such a spoiling auntie with no limits..."

Guan Yongyi had already shifted to a position leaning against the headboard, her eyes curving up, her lips breaking into a smile.

"Who can resist when someone else’s baby is so cute! Totally irresistible!"

Zhou Sinin put two of the cat sticks back into the box and showed a pair of delicate dimples to the camera.

She set the phone on the table, squatted next to Mian Mian, and carefully squeezed out the treat to feed it.

"In the future, if you really have a baby, I’ll definitely be the same."

"What way?"

Guan Yongyi asked subconsciously.

"You’re so pretty, the baby you have will definitely be super cute, I’ll hug and kiss them every day!"

"Cut it out, I haven’t got a shadow of who I would have a baby with, and you should be the first, right?"

...

The two of them chatted casually for three to five minutes before hanging up the phone.

"All done with the check-in?"

Hearing they said goodnight to each other, and then the room fell silent, Lu Jincheng tiptoed out of the bathroom, teasing her.

"Don’t use that term with me."

Guan Yongyi immediately frowned and glared at him fiercely.

"It was about what to feed Mian Mian."

"Why should she check on me? If anyone’s being checked, it should be you!"

"Hurry back, or she might call back for a video chat, see how you’ll explain then."

Lu Jincheng heard this but showed no intention of returning to his own room, shamelessly getting closer instead.

"I, Lu Jincheng, always act upright, why should I explain anything to her?"

"I won’t encourage this bad habit of checking in!"

"Yo~"

Guan Yongyi, leaning against the headboard, slightly pursed her lips, looking at him with a mockingly smile.

"So tough?"

She extended her right hand with the palm facing up and her two fingers hooked in an inviting gesture.

"If you’re not afraid of heaven or earth, why not stay tonight and not go back?"

"What else?"

Lu Jincheng picked up on the conversation, decisively.

"I’ve found that you’re just all talk, go back now, to save the trouble later."

"I’m going to take a bath, don’t say I didn’t remind you, it’s impossible to make it silent."

Guan Yongyi pulled back the covers, got up from the bed, shrugged her shoulders, and said.

She bent down to pick out two sets of new pajamas from her suitcase, threw the navy blue one to the man, and strode confidently toward the bathroom.

"Suit yourself."

...

Suit yourself, then.

Naturally, the bathing time for girls can’t be compared to that of men.

Taking advantage of the moment Guan Yongyi stepped into the bathroom, Lu Jincheng quickly took the pajamas back to his room, showered, brushed his teeth, changed clothes, all in one go.

In between, he also seamlessly replied to two girls’ WeChat messages.

Bai Yueguang had been going to bed quite early lately, with Christmas just passing by, exams week was right around the corner.

The tense and thrilling final exams were looming, and reviewing lessons was the most critical thing.

Zhong Ruixi was unlike Lu Jincheng, who could devote all his energy to his startup.

As for academia...

It didn’t matter.

There were learned scholars to argue for him.

And as for Zhou Sinin, he replied even less.

Even if he was perfectly confident and aboveboard, he couldn’t take any calls or videos.

It’s just as he had just said.

He couldn’t let her develop the bad habit of checking in!

This wasn’t just Mr. Lu being stubborn or boasting.

It was the fundamental logic in an intimate relationship.

Often, setting the tone at the beginning of a relationship is key, so the partner doesn’t take many things for granted.

Such as roll calls.

At the start of a romance, one might be eager to please and compliant, but this inadvertently raises the other person’s expectation threshold.

This isn’t a long-term strategy.

If it could be maintained, that would be one thing, but the majority can’t keep it up.

To report every little thing to the other during the honeymoon phase, and to be a cold, indifferent responder during the lull, that contrast alone is enough to provoke anxiety and irritation.

Mr. Lu knew this all too well.

Hence, his boundaries were pretty clear.

Messaging could always be responsive, but not voice or video calls.

Sometimes, even when he clearly wasn’t busy, he wouldn’t pick up his partner’s calls or video chats.

He wanted to keep control firmly in his hands.

In fact, maintaining one’s boundaries and not compromising too easily helps a relationship last longer.

When the other person gets used to this, they’ll start looking for excuses to convince themselves.

Maybe they’re busy?

Maybe they didn’t see it?

Only in intimate relationships does the spoiled party get angry over an unanswered call.

[The call you have dialed is not answered]

See, Luo Lang had left Zhou Sinin’s earlier call hanging on purpose without any response.

[Just in a meeting.]

He left Zhou Sinin hanging for a good half hour before finally sending over the pre-arranged picture of the meeting room.
