Chapter 382: 286. The Season of White Album
Mr. Lu had a long dream.
In it, he returned to that morning.
He lowered his head, profoundly exhausted.
The last time he had awoken felt as distant as the primeval age.
As the weather turned from summer to winter, the old man’s passion gradually cooled.
On the subway to the Xierqi station, packed like sardines in a can, every static sound from the friction between the girls’ down jackets and coats sounded to him like the shattering of dreams.
From then on, he began to understand a principle.
The office was merely a ridiculous theater for pretending to be respectable.
But it was the bed where the true battleground of male competition lay.
For his thirty-fifth birthday, he gave himself tequila.
Two bottles, certainly not because the second bottle was half off, but because he wanted to feel more of that surging vitality.
He even managed to rationalize it, often telling himself so.
Young people always aim for the climax.
But life, precisely, is an endless foreplay.
The TB shirt he once wore, the Made in Italy horse-buttock leather shoes, the Darjeeling perfume were nothing more than laughable and expensive substitutes for a good physique.
Those pompous rituals of the wealthy, in front of the raw vigor of boys, would shatter upon a single touch.
When he opened his eyes, he simply adored his younger self.
Back to 2015, he was like a young calf, rediscovering the wild energy and original intention to charge everywhere.
The whole world seemed to pour towards him, his vitality teetering on the brink of chaos.
His body was a feast of free will going its own ways.
So wild, rendering adversaries helpless.
Teacher Guo helpless, Senior Sister Miao helpless, and now, Guan Guan too.
It turned out there really was a thief of time, stealing unceasing energy from time itself; these days, he was very happy.
Desiring to eat, to love, and to become, in a moment, the half-bright, half-dark cloud in the sky.
The clouds in his mind gradually dispersed.
In their stead was a vibrating cell phone.
"Mr. Lu, Zhou Sinin is here."
...
Eleven fifty.
Hang City, Overseas Kempinski Hotel.
This five-star hotel located at the southern end of the Jinghang Grand Canal has 344 rooms of various types, all quite pricey.
New Year’s Day was a peak season for people on the move, and from the airport to the hotel, the inevitable traffic jam delayed her significantly.
Zhou Sinin, carrying a backpack, pushed open the thick hotel doors, greeted by the spacious, well-lit lobby.
Passing by the front desk, the lobby lounge caught her eye, with its metallic floor lamps and stands complementing the modern style sofas and chairs.
A plaque hung on the wall indicated executive suites were located on floors 10-13.
After exiting the elevator on the tenth floor, she glanced at the empty corridor, suddenly feeling a little lost.
Should she call him to open the door?
Or wait a bit longer?
What if he wasn’t on this floor?
As Zhou Sinin lowered her head to look at her phone, vacillating over these thoughts, a door in the hallway suddenly slid open and a figure flashed by before the door quickly shut again.
Two minutes later, she unexpectedly encountered a familiar face near the elevator.
"Sister Ying! Happy New Year!"
It was Zhou Sinin who spoke first, greeting her with a smile.
This was Lu Jincheng’s assistant, with whom Sinin had frequently interacted for work.
"Ah, Si si, happy New Year to you!"
"You’re here to see Mr. Lu, aren’t you?"
He Ying too seemed happy, casually assessing the young girl’s attire and gossiped with a wink.
"Didn’t you tell him?"
"Planning to give him a surprise?"
"But Mr. Lu isn’t staying on this floor, let me show you the way, he’s on the 13th floor."
He Ying pulled Zhou Sinin into the elevator, pressing the button for the first floor for herself before warmly pressing the 13th floor.
The elevator began to slowly descend.
"1308, right at the end of the corridor, want me to take you there? Haven’t eaten yet, have you? The restaurant downstairs starts serving at noon."
"No need, Sister Ying, you go ahead and eat, I can manage on my own."
...
Thump, thump, thump.
At the door of 1308, Zhou Sinin adjusted her hair and knocked.
"Who is it?"
A lethargic and familiar male voice came from inside.
"Your takeaway is here!"
Zhou Sinin cleared her throat and tried to lower her voice.
"I didn’t order any takeaway..."
The sound of slippers accompanied by muttering drew closer.
Seconds later, the door to room 1308 opened to reveal a face the girl had been daydreaming about.
The man’s hair was a mess, his sleepy eyes rubbed half-awake, his pajama top all wrinkled – it was clear he hadn’t woken up yet.
But the next second, seeing Zhou Sinin, his eyes narrowed to slits suddenly widened, filled with surprise and affection.
"Eh?"
"Baby, how did you get here!"
Immediately following was a bear hug, engulfing Zhou Sinin’s body.
His breath, warmth, and strength enveloped her.
"I... I missed you so much."
Zhou Sinin, held in the man’s embrace, was lifted off her feet, feeling like she was wrapped in a giant cotton candy, a warm current flooding into her heart, making her feel light and joyous.
She was carried into the room by Lu Jincheng.
"How could you sleep until now? Such a sleepyhead."
While tossing her backpack onto the sofa, Zhou Sinin looked around the room intently.
Only the man was there.
Everywhere she looked was spotless and clean.
"How could I sleep soundly in my room, how to innocently welcome your sudden attack?"
Lu Jincheng yawned, rubbed his tousled hair, and said.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Sinin pouted her lips and folded her arms, smiling as she tilted up her chin.
"So, are you happy with my sudden visit?"
