Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!-Chapter 72 - 67. Other people’s things are better

In the same community, some are happy, others are troubled.

Yongyi had moved to a new house, and as her best friend, of course, I couldn’t miss it.

When Zhou Sinin arrived, Yongyi was applying a face mask, sitting on the living room carpet, blow-drying her half-dry hair.

Half of the room was lit by moonlight, the other half dimly lit by unlit main lights.

The hairdryer roared, lifting her short hair and blowing the mixed fragrance of shampoo, conditioner, and essential oils toward Zhou Sinin’s nose.

"I’m so tired, so tired! These past two days have truly killed me!"

The moment she stepped through the door, Zhou Sinin let out a heavy sigh, kicked off her shoes, and let herself collapse on the sofa.

The coffee shop had just launched its delivery service, and even with two new staff members, they were still not efficient enough, often overwhelmed.

"The coffee shop has broken even, right? Why push so hard?"

Yongyi put down the hairdryer and glanced at her.

Her voice sounded muffled because of the mask.

"The number of orders is increasing, the supplier wants to raise prices, and lately, I’ve been dealing with all sorts of strange inspections..."

Zhou Sinin covered her eyes with her hands, feeling tired from talking about work, and listlessly gossiped,

"Eh, how come you’re in the mood to do a face mask today?"

"Lu Jincheng brought some friends over to help me move this afternoon, and I treated them to spicy crayfish as a thank-you dinner. It was a bit spicy." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Yongyi smiled and sat down next to her best friend on the sofa, opening the tablet on the coffee table.

"Did you also drink with them?"

Despite having taken a shower, Zhou Sinin could still smell a faint trace of alcohol on Guan Guan.

"Just a little bit, just a little bit."

Yongyi squinted, making a cute gesture with her long, slender index finger and thumb pinched together.

"You, oh you!"

Zhou Sinin blinked, her tone becoming more earnest, "I’ve noticed that ever since you went to college, you’ve really let yourself go."

"Why do you have to drink with boys? You’ve become a total lush, drinking with every meal!"

"That’s an exaggeration..."

Yongyi protested softly.

"Look! I knew it! What’s all this in your fridge!"

Zhou Sinin jumped off the sofa, her bare feet pattering as she ran toward the nearby fridge and yanked open its side door.

Yongyi couldn’t cook, so her fridge lacked vegetables and meat.

Instead, it contained two chilled colas and was filled with a dazzling variety of craft beers.

Baileys Sweet Sea Salt Caramel, Ubru Holiday Beer, Buzz Osmanthus Honey Wheat...

Colorful little bottles packed the first three shelves of the fridge.

"Ah, living on your own is nice, right? A little drink cheers you up."

Caught red-handed by her best friend, Yongyi stuck out her tongue and walked over with a smile, linking arms with her.

"You know it! Aunt Lin even called me today and went on and on about a bunch of stuff."

Zhou Sinin raised her eyebrows as she spoke.

"My mom just can’t stop worrying about me, she’s too controlling."

Yongyi hummed lightly, sitting back down on the nearby sofa, leaning on the armrest with her legs crossed and her bare toes pointing up and down.

"Guess what, darling, besides calling me, she did something even more outrageous!"

The short-haired girl continued to complain.

"She’s even worried I’m not paying attention in class! Yesterday, she messaged saying she had already spoken to the college leaders and asked me to intern at Professor Li’s law firm."

"Oh?"

Zhou Sinin’s beautiful peach-blossom eyes widened, slightly baffled.

"That really sounds a bit..."

"Right? You think so too, right? She’s just a control freak; it’s so annoying."

Yongyi pouted, grabbed a chilled cola from the table, and took a big slurp.

Top Eight Law Firms, the ceiling of the domestic legal services industry.

As the head of Junhe Law Firm in Yangcheng, Yongyi’s mother Lin Lifeng graduated from Law University and had cultivated deep connections in the legal circle over many years.

Arranging her daughter’s internship had long been planned.

"Although Aunt Lin is strict, she’s still better than my mom who completely ignores me, right?"

Zhou Sinin propped her cheek with one hand, looking towards Guan Yongyi.

"Don’t even! You don’t know how much I envy your freedom."

People often project their own desires and expectations onto others, thinking that what others possess is exactly the part they lack.

This psychological projection can create the illusion that "others have it better."

By the time Zhou Sinin had finished washing up, it was already late, and time to rest.

Guan Yongyi’s master bedroom had a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

The cool-toned window symbolized melancholy, and the silent night, with the ginkgo trees in the neighborhood a shade of orange-yellow, moonlight filtering through the dense ginkgo leaves creating speckled patches of light.

Dimly visible through the curtains, which cast a faint glow on the big king-sized bed over two meters wide.

The evening breeze passed through, causing the girls’ nightgowns to flutter as if whispering secrets to the air.

The two girls lay side by side, continuing their night chat as best friends.

"That boy who was chasing after you last time, is he still sending you messages?"

Their figures differed by several centimeters, Zhou Sinin had brought a simple silk camisole nightgown.

"Yes, but I’ve ignored him, and returned his gifts too."

Guan Yongyi looked out the window, expressionless.

"He’s been pursuing you since the start of school, he must be really patient, probably really likes you, huh?"

Zhou Sinin blinked, curiously.

"I don’t know."

Guan Yongyi shook her head.

"Guan Guan, what do you think makes a boy fall for someone?"

Zhou Sinin turned her head to let her brown hair flow to one side, revealing half of her side face.

Illuminated by the soft moonlight, her eyes sparkled, her delicate jawline sleek as the horizon meeting the sea.

"You’d have to ask him, the reasons a man falls in love are strange and myriad."

Guan Yongyi shrugged.

"What about you? Are you curious about what a man likes in you?"

Zhou Sinin pursued the topic.

"Not curious."

Guan Yongyi pursed her lips, looking deeply contemplative: "90% of the time, there’s just one reason."

"What?"

"I’m pretty good-looking."

Guan Yongyi spread her hands out frankly.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha~ that’s true."

Zhou Sinin nodded, giggling, her voice like silver bells.

"Because 99% of boys are just naked visual animals, shallow and lacking substance."

"Do you expect them to see through your skin and understand your heart?"

Guan Yongyi sneered slightly. "Better not think about it."

"Guan Guan, sometimes I really admire you~"

Zhou Sinin’s mouth curled into a smile as she patted her best friend’s arm: "You seem to think things through very clearly."

"But I just can’t."

"Why?"

Guan Yongi turned her head, meeting her gaze.

"If I were like you, knowing that what he loves is my face, I’d still hope he’d deceive me."

"Deceive me saying, ’I want your whole heart.’"
