Jiang Linyuan and Yu Songsong were eating desserts in the dessert shop, while on the other side, Jiang Zhiyao caught up to Su Muzhi.
"Wait a mont."
Jiang Zhiyao stepped in front of Su Muzhi and blocked her path.
"Hmm? Little sister, do you need sothing from ?"
Su Muzhi stopped and sized her up.
How surprising. If she had strong possessiveness, shouldn’t she be putting more effort into staying with Yu Songsong, who spends ti with Jiang Linyuan?
"Do you like my brother?"
Jiang Zhiyao asked directly.
Su Muzhi narrowed her eyes and smiled:
"What is this? Your little sister's test?"
"I'm not your little sister. Don't call that. Call Jiang Zhiyao."
Jiang Zhiyao said coolly.
"I want you to answer my question directly."
"Do you like Jiang Linyuan?"
"I do, very much."
Su Muzhi answered plainly.
"...How can you say that so easily?"
Jiang Zhiyao glanced at Su Muzhi:
"You just find him interesting, right? You think he's fun and amusing. After that playful feeling fades, will you still like him?"
"We've barely t a few tis. How can you so hastily conclude a person's feelings?"
Su Muzhi stared at Jiang Zhiyao and countered.
At first she thought the girl was just soone who liked to make a fuss, but now, she had a few of his traits.
Sure enough, even if not blood-related, growing up together still leaves so influence.
"I've seen people like you before. You just want to play. You don't really care about his inner feelings, do you?"
Jiang Zhiyao deliberately said sothing derogatory, waiting to see how Su Muzhi would react.
Suddenly Su Muzhi reached out and lightly placed her hand on Jiang Zhiyao's shoulder, smiling:
"You should feel lucky you're Jiang Linyuan's sister."
"This ti, I'll forgive you."
Prideful but not overly possessive? Seeing Jiang Linyuan with Yu Songsong, she didn't show strong reactions.
No, it felt more like she simply looked down on her.
Jiang Zhiyao watched Su Muzhi's deanor and sketched a rough profile of her.
She was the most troubleso and most annoying kind of person.
Because Jiang Zhiyao knew clearly that soone like this would get along very well with Jiang Linyuan — not suitable as a lover, but overly suitable as a friend.
"You won't turn around and badmouth to Jiang Linyuan, will you?"
Jiang Zhiyao asked again.
Pfft, where did this sister learn the little "green tea" tricks?
So cute.
Su Muzhi waved her hand casually:
"Hehe, I wouldn't do sothing like that. It's too low-class. Besides, with Jiang-classmate's personality, it would be weird if he believed whoever said bad things about you."
"...You surprisingly understand him."
Jiang Zhiyao said.
"But I still dislike you."
"Doesn't matter. You don't have many reasons to ddle between Jiang-classmate and ."
Su Muzhi said lightly:
"Hehe, or are you planning to keep sabotaging his romantic life? As a sister?"
She said this while looking at Jiang Zhiyao.
Maybe she was overthinking it, but... it was worth testing.
"Mind your own business about matters between us."
Jiang Zhiyao retorted stubbornly.
No way.
Su Muzhi was a little stunned by that reaction.
No way?
Even if not blood-related...
Hehe, if that's the case, this is really interesting.
Jiang Linyuan, you and your sister are both very amusing.
She suddenly looked at Jiang Zhiyao and said unexpectedly:
"Do you know Shen Wanyu?"
"I've heard of her. She's the Departnt Head of External Liaison for Jiang Linyuan, right?"
"Hehe, she's more than that. Do you want to et her? I can help set it up."
"...Okay, thank you."
Hehe, so cute.
...
As January approached, the university's atmosphere grew progressively colder.
Christmas and New Year's were all swallowed up by the ruthless final exams.
Jiang Linyuan didn't wear a Santa hat during Christmas because none fit his size.
Valentine's Day could maybe be made up for with a consolation "lucky charm" hat.
During this period, the library and study rooms beca the most crowded places.
Jiang Linyuan had been enjoying his "Overclocked Brain," finals were nothing, he easily sliced through them!
With free ti on his hands, he shifted focus to the AI model Zhang Shuo had ntioned.
Seeing the prototype, he could only say, the future looked bright!
He founded a studio, bought the AI outright, increased funding, and waited for the hen to lay golden eggs!
Then he'd be a big boss too!
The External Liaison Departnt's final eting of the term ended with the cold, rciless line, "See you next sester."
The staff rose to leave.
Lin Yilin glanced at the room and saw Shen Wanyu and Jiang Linyuan still sitting, so she didn’t leave imdiately and asked:
"Senior and Departnt Head, aren't you leaving?"
Shen Wanyu glanced at her and said:
"I'll be here for a bit to sort the sester's outstanding staff awards and compile everyone's comprehensive evaluation scores for External Liaison."
"Oh, okay."
Lin Yilin nodded and looked at Jiang Linyuan:
"Senior, you'll definitely help with the work, right?"
Jiang Linyuan snorted:
"Wrong! The Departnt Head is helping !"
"Mm, so the senior is responsible for even more then."
Lin Yilin had long learned Jiang Linyuan's personality and didn't believe his words for a second.
She didn't bother them then, picked up her bag, and left.
At the door she seed to rember sothing and poked her head back, waving at Jiang Linyuan:
"Senior, see you next year."
"Xiao Yilin wants to see ? She can video call anyti."
Jiang Linyuan said.
Lin Yilin nodded, then noticed Shen Wanyu sitting there and shyly added:
"Departnt Head, see you next year too."
Shen Wanyu nodded:
"See you next year."
With Xiao Yilin gone, only Jiang Linyuan and Shen Wanyu remained in the room.
"Lin Yilin is a nice girl."
Shen Wanyu typed on her keyboard, eyes fixed on the screen, and said without looking up.
"She really is."
Jiang Linyuan nodded.
"Good that you think so."
Shen Wanyu said, then paused her typing:
"A few days ago, Su Muzhi brought your sister to see ."
Jiang Linyuan froze for a mont:
"When was that?"
"Last weekend, I think."
Shen Wanyu slowly raised her head and looked at him:
"Your sister is far more polite than you."
"Don't flatter and insult at the sa ti; Departnt Head."
"Fine, I just ant you're impolite."
Shen Wanyu said.
"What did you two talk about?"
Jiang Linyuan sat beside Shen Wanyu, automatically filtering out the Departnt Head's snarky criticisms.
"Probably about what kind of relationship you and I have, or sothing like that."
Shen Wanyu turned her face toward him:
"Your sister is excessively clingy."
"Isn't Guoguo also clingy toward you?"
"Guoguo is only in middle school, your sister is already twenty."
"Being clingy in middle school is also a problem, right?"
Jiang Linyuan said.
"Is it? As long as you know how it is in your heart."
Shen Wanyu sighed and brought up another matter:
"Have you recently started a company?"
Being judged again, speechless.
"I'm not following those things. Shen Pingyan told ."
Shen Wanyu said:
"He asked to pass along a ssage: this voice cloning AI will be heavily regulated by the state in the future, since it involves personal privacy and such."
Jiang Linyuan asked.
"Why would you think that?"
Shen Wanyu said indifferently:
"This kind of thing is hard to regulate. Developnt is inevitable, but it shouldn't be wild. The industry needs a benchmark."
"Oh, so they want to recruit ?"
"You could say it's more like cooperation. Soone will co to you later. You just need to ensure the AI doesn't go out of control."
Future father-in-law is pretty supportive.
Vice Principal, look at him! Then look at you! Your spot as second father-in-law might not be safe in the future!
"Departnt Head, what are your plans for winter break?"
"Take my mother back to our ancestral ho for a visit."
"What about your uncle's side?"
Jiang Linyuan asked again.
"I don't want to go, but it's hard to refuse."
Shen Wanyu pinched the bridge of her nose, clearly annoyed:
"My mother keeps hoping I will return to my ancestral roots. Yanjing cares about these things."
"Do you want to accompany you?"
"You should first take good care of your sister."
Shen Wanyu put away her computer and stepped outside, leaving one sentence behind:
"See you next year."
Jiang Linyuan watched her walk away, then slowly tidied up the room.
For winter break he'd definitely return ho with Haji Yao for New Year.
Just the two of them; that was a little headache-inducing.
