“Did she really go overboard?” There was a clear hint of incredulity to Liang Jiusi’s voice. “I admit that she’s a little too reckless, but I didn’t expect that something would actually happen. Anyway, you know how I am. Since you’ve already said this much, I’ll definitely keep an eye on her. How about this? Why don’t we find some time to have dinner together, and I’ll make her give you a formal apology?”
Without a second thought, Lin Jiage immediately rejected the proposal with a resolute tone, “There’s no need for that.”
“Ah? Is the matter that serious? You won’t even forgive her for my sake?” The surprise in Liang Jiusi’s tone deepened. “Just how did she offend you?”
“The person she offended isn’t me…” Lin Jiage paused for a moment before continuing, “The person she offended is Yaoyao.”
“Yaoyao? Which Yaoyao? Why don’t I know anyone called Yaoyao among the people you know?” Liang Jiusi muttered to himself for a moment before ing to a realization. “Oh oh oh! Is this Yaoyao that fiancée your grandfather betrothed you to?”
“It can’t be? You’re slighting me over a person you don’t even want to marry? No matter what, Mumu did grow up with us. Do you need to go that far?”
A person who you don’t even want to marry…
As those eight words reached Lin Jiage’s ears, his brows furrowed deeply together, and his tone became slower but far more severe, “Liang Jiusi, I’m warning you here. When you speak about her in the future, you’d better show her some respect!”
The voice on the other side of the phone fell silent.
Some time later, Liang Jiusi’s voice finally sounded once more, “Are you serious?”
“Yes, I’m serious,” Lin Jiage replied without any hesitation. “On account of our relationship, I called to only have you keep your cousin in check. Otherwise, there’s no way she would’ve gotten off that easily. I’ll just make it clear to you today: she’s my bottom line, and your cousin is challenging my bottom line. Do you get it?”
After saying those words, Lin Jiage unhesitatingly took his phone away from his ear and hung up.
Perhaps he was angered by Liang Jiusi’s words, but even after taking a few deep breaths, Lin Jiage still felt extremely irritated.
A person who you don’t even want to marry… What the heck does he know? Is he me? What gave him the right to say that?
Isn’t he clearly trying to insult me?
Just you wait! I’ll burn down that Little Miaoxue of yours the next time we meet!
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage stomped off angrily toward the male dormitory while checking the time on his phone.
In the end, before he could check the time, he saw Shi Yao’s message instead.
[Did Sis Jiayi tell you about what happened with Liang Mumu and me?]
So, she understood what he was hinting at under the streetlamp earlier?
Unlike before, Lin Jiage didn’t find an excuse to cover up his actions this time around. Instead, he replied with a direct [Mm] .
…
After sending her message, Shi Yao waited for quite some time but didn’t receive Lin Jiage’s response. It took a while before she remembered that his phone had run out of battery during their dinner. He would have to return to his dormitory room to charge it first, and he might even go straight to sleep without turning on his phone. Thus, she put her phone down and shut her eyes, preparing to go to sleep.
But just as she was about to drift off, her phone suddenly vibrated, and her screen lit up.
