This Is the Life

This place was relatively remote, and barely anyone passed by. The street lamps on the street were no longer lit, and only the neon sign of a KTV diagonally opposite still flickered weakly.

The three of them leaned against the car with light flickering on their faces.

Lu Ning held the cigarette between her fingers; she puffed it once and never touched it again.

Gu Chen looked at the messy graffiti plastering the wall opposite them and asked, “Unhappy?”

He was one of those who had met Lu Ning earlier; they had known each other when Lu Ning was still Lù Ning.

Lu Ning had learned how to smoke from them.

She was disciplined and did not smoke often after picking it up. Every time she smoked, it was mostly when she had something on her mind.

Lu Ning did not hide anything. “Yes.”

Gu Zi looked at her. It was rare for him to be so quiet, standing to the side without uttering a word and waiting silently.

His voice was chilly, but it was also rather soothing.

“Tell me about it.”

Hearing this, Lu Ning glanced at the cigarette in her hand. Its tip was still glowing.

She chuckled. “I just find people’s hearts to be unpredictable; human nature, too.”

The two of them looked at her at the same time without saying anything.

The hardest things to discern in this world were the human heart, and human nature.

…

In a corner at the road’s end, a black car was hidden in the night, observing their every move.

Spotting Lu Ning with a cigarette between her fingers, Huo Jinyan’s lips curled up slightly.

This Miss Lu certainly isn’t a simple person.

Before Lu Ning left, she ordered the two of them to head back quickly and left on her bicycle.

Gu Zi looked at her back worriedly. “Do you think the Boss is being bullied at her new home?”

Gu Chen shook his head. “Have you ever seen her so eager to go home for dinner?”

In the past, her parents rarely went home. Lu Ning was not very enthusiastic about going home for dinner, and sometimes she would deliberately drag it out until it was late at night.

Now she was in a hurry to go back, so someone must be waiting for her to eat together. This meant that the people at her new home treated her well.

“Then why’s she upset?”

“No matter why, she’ll come around on her own. Don’t worry.”

Gu Zi nodded. Although he knew that Lu Ning was very resilient, he could not help but worry.

He turned around and saw Gu Chen staring at the corner of the street.

“What are you looking at?”

Gu Chen narrowed his eyes. “Nothing. Let’s go.”

“Man, you’re acting weird.”

He mumbled and followed Gu Chen into the car, and the two left.

Lu Ning arrived home just in time for dinner.

“Ning’ning, school starts the day after tomorrow. Is there anything else you need to prepare?”

“No, I’m all set.”

“Then can Mom and Dad send you there together?”

Shen Yunci looked at her and asked expectantly.

Lu Ning did not like trouble, nor did she like troubling others. However, looking at Shen Yunci, she could not say no.

“Okay.”

Shen Yunci was instantly happy.

“I want to go too.”

Lu Jingzhi suddenly spoke up.

Lu Ning could not help but laugh. “Okay.”

This was the first time her family had sent her to school. In the past, Old Zhu had always sent her alone.

Shen Yunci happily went to the closet to pick out clothes without even touching her food. She even picked out a few sets for Lu Jingzhi to try on, and Lu Jingzhi patiently accompanied her to try them on.

Lu Ning sat on the sofa and watched them getting excited. Occasionally, Shen Yunci asked for her opinion, and she would give her suggestions.

Lu Zhi even asked her to help him see which tie looked better.

Looking at them getting all worked up for her sake, she sat on the sofa, hugged a cushion and broke into a smile.

This is the life.
