Chapter 426: 314. None of your business!

Memories are the most lethal weapons.

They dominate the past, forcing nostalgia, and can instantly soften a person’s heart.

The moment the voice sounded, Zhou Sinin was dealing with a crayfish.

She skillfully twisted off the head and peeled the shell from the tails when she suddenly heard an all too familiar voice.

As the shell peeled off, so did the shell of her memories.

It seemed that in the moment she turned her head, she saw Lu Jincheng.

Time seemed to fly in an instant, the stars shifted, and Zhou Sinin thought she was hallucinating.

Was she seeing things?

No, she wasn’t.

How could it be Lu Jincheng?

Why would he come here to eat?

There he was behind her, with his hair neatly styled, wearing a simple linen shirt and khaki trousers.

Not just behind her, even in a crowd, she could instantly recognize him.

"Hi~ We meet again, do you want to come and join us?"

It was Song Wan who spoke first, enthusiastically greeting Lu Jincheng.

"You guys eat, I’m not very welcome, and I have roommates here, so I won’t disturb you."

The man smiled and waved his hand decisively, then turned to sit at another table.

Even though he said he wouldn’t disturb them, he chose a spot not far behind Zhou Sinin and her companions.

"..."

Everyone looked at each other and then at Zhou Sinin, who remained silent.

The three roommates opted to keep their heads down and eat, their expressions betraying an understanding.

Zhou Sinin suddenly found it hard to describe her feelings upon seeing him again after a week.

A mix of familiarity, reflection, and an inexplicable desire to scold him harshly.

After all, he was still her unresolved issue, vividly reminding her of her once shattered past.

She didn’t know how to handle it.

Fortunately, from where Zhou Sinin was sitting, she could just see Lu Jincheng’s table.

She could even covertly admire the sharply defined profile of the man.

He seemed to have gotten even more handsome.

Damn it.

Just looking at him, why was she still emotionally affected?

Why did he just leave like that?

Didn’t he have any reaction at all?

Zhou Sinin originally thought that when she met Lu Jincheng again, she would be calm and unmoved.

But she found she was completely wrong.

The phrase "not willing to give up" was the trap that tempted men and women to demean themselves in the war of love.

Even when they recognized it, they couldn’t help but willingly step into it.

Of course, she was not willing to give up.

Her wholeheartedly loving boyfriend had gotten together with her best friend, who was like a sister, without offering any explanation.

Not a single explanation?

Although she was angry and blocked him, which was partly why she didn’t give him a chance.

But couldn’t he have tried to find her somehow?

Phone numbers can be changed if blocked, new accounts can be made on social media.

Yet, he didn’t even make a superficial effort.

It was like her persistence met the placid surface of a lake, merely causing a ripple and then returning to silence.

The other part of her reluctance stemmed from herself.

The rival she had unwittingly created, the oversight right under her nose, the trusted friend who had betrayed her.

Guan Yongyi.

Thinking about it made sense; an excellent man is like the sun, and even the most discerning girl couldn’t find fault with a "Hexagonal Warrior" like Lu Jincheng.

Why was she so confident at the time?

Memories surged, and Zhou Sinin shook her head imperceptibly, a bitter smile on her face.

Throughout the rest of the meal, everyone chatted about harmless topics, inevitably making it less flavorful.

...

The mechanism of the buffet was to pay first and eat to your satisfaction. Zhou Sinin and her roommates walked directly out of the restaurant.

For some reason, Lu Jincheng’s table finished around the same time as theirs.

As they walked, they realized that Lu Jincheng’s group had also just appeared behind them.

"Sinin, you’re walking a bit slowly today. We’re going ahead without waiting for you," said Song Wan.

Song Wan had naturally noticed this detail; she tugged at the sleeves of the other two roommates and quickened her pace dramatically.

One slowed down, the other deliberately chased after.

A few steps felt like a chasm.

Zhou Sinin crossed her arms and finally spoke as she glanced at Lu Jincheng, who was half a meter away.

"It’s been a long time."

The air carried the scent of winter. Jiang City was much drier than the south, almost like the air wanted to be baked, fluffing up at noon.

All unrelated individuals automatically vanished.

They walked shoulder to shoulder in such sunlight.

"It has been quite a while since you blocked me, over a week."

Lu Jincheng smiled and nodded in response.

Between lovers, there’s always a familiar feeling, a tacit understanding formed over long periods of being together.

This understanding would adjust the air between them to the most suitable temperature and density at the moment they met.

Not too thin, nor too bleak.

Compatible with their body temperatures and preferences, it fitted them like tailor-made clothes.

Thus, Zhou Sinin clearly sensed the resentment.

"So what."

"It doesn’t stop you from running over to have a ’chance’ meeting with me."

She turned her head, striving to keep her expression and tone uniform, showing an icy demeanor.

"Ha, that’s true."

Lu Jincheng spread his hands openly, admitting it.

"Missing someone, whether you have contact information or not, will lead you to find them."

Intelligent as Zhou Sinin was, she could easily guess this simple logic.

Her card payment records had exposed the time and location of her meal.

"Oh, should I thank you then?"

Zhou Sinin turned her face to look at him closely.

Under the sunlight, he wore a beige sports jacket and baggy pants, which at first glance appeared quite ordinary but were actually custom-made from a particular brand.

The mesh fabric was not only breathable and comfortable but also had a sharp, wrinkle-free effect that made him look very handsome and upright.

Why did Zhou Sinin know this?

Because it was her who had bought it for Lu Jincheng.

"You’re welcome."

The man smiled, eyes curving as he faced her.

Zhou Sinin turned her face away, no longer looking at him.

The two continued walking quietly, stepping occasionally on the neatly aligned tiles.

Between her and him, there rarely had been such silence.

"Mr. Zhou seemed in the mood yesterday, running off to KTV in the dead of night."

Lu Jincheng suddenly broke the silence.

He asked with a teasing tone, his eyes squinting with mischief.

"..."

Zhou Sinin was momentarily at a loss for words.

Before figuring out how to respond, his next remark broke all her emotional control, igniting her anger.

"I was upset all night long. If it weren’t only a little over a thousand, I’d really have thought you went to request male models."

"That certainly cannot happen."

Her ex-boyfriend was babbling nonsense right in front of her with a cheeky smile.

Zhou Sinin immediately clenched her fists, her anger transforming into a direct action.

"Mind your own business?!"
