Chapter 527: Lin Jiali, The Tsundere
The reason why Lin Jiali wanted to slap Su Yang was because she felt too embarrassed, nothing more
‘Su Yang’s actions just now were too ambiguous and intimate, it’s completely not something a friend should do.
‘Furthermore, I didn’t notice it just now. But now that I think about it, it’s obvious that Su Yang did it on purpose. He was flirting with me on purpose.
‘Moreover, I’m fine with him flirting, but he was so good at it…
‘I’m a normal adult woman and at that moment, I felt like I had completely lost my ability to resist. My body had gone soft and I even secreted some unspeakable liquid.
‘If Su Yang had pushed me down earlier on, I probably wouldn’t have been able to resist and would have exploded due to the sweet moment…’
Hence, when Lin Jiali suddenly regained her senses, she was both embarrassed and angry. She wanted to slap Su Yang. She felt that Su Yang had gone overboard. Whether it was hugging her waist, drawing her eyebrows, or the hot air that was coming out of his mouth, Su Yang’s deep voice had already surpassed the boundaries of just friends.
However… Halfway through her slap, Lin Jiali looked at Su Yang’s face, which she initially did not find handsome, but was at that moment and could not bring herself to follow through.
Lin Jiali shouted in her heart, ‘Jiali! You’ve got to do it! The guy has so shamelessly flirted with you, hit him!’
Even though she was hinting to herself, Lin Jiali could not bring herself to do it.
Her hand stopped midair. After struggling for a while, she was so angry that tears started to fall from her eyes.
Lin Jiali wiped her tears and glared at Su Yang with reddened eyes. She stomped on Su Yang’s feet and ran downstairs as she continued to wipe her tears due to how weak she thought she was.
Su Yang cried out in pain after being stomped on by Lin Jiali. He had no idea what was going on.
Only the [Space Traversing Eyes] in front of him kept flashing notifications. [Shame], [Anger], [Shame]…
Su Yang was confused.
‘What did I do?’
He covered his feet and grimaced as he looked downstairs. He saw Han Yi opening the door and walking in happily with the fruit tea, looking like an innocent fool…
When Han Yi saw Lin Jiali running towards her, she thought that Lin Jiali was there to welcome her. She raised her hand happily and showed her fruit tea. “Sister Jiali, look what I bought?”
And then…
Lin Jiali walked past her and rushed into the toilet. With a “Bang”, she closed the door, leaving Han Yi in a daze.
Su Yang rubbed his painful foot that was stepped on by Lin Jiali and walked downstairs.
Han Yi looked at her fan and asked softly, “What happened to Sister Jiali again? Why do I feel like she’s crying…”
Su Yang felt extremely awkward.
Even though he had no idea why Lin Jiali had such a big reaction, he believed that there was nothing wrong with his “brainwashing”, so it was most likely because he drew her eyebrow.
‘I’m guessing she’s angry because I had been too intimate with her…’
Of course, Su Yang could not tell the truth. Hence, he could only say awkwardly, “It’s fine, it’s fine. I think she’s just in a foul mood.”
Han Yi replied with an “Oh…” and then threw the question to the back of her mind. ‘I’ll wait for Sister Jiali to come out and ask her what exactly happened…’
With that thought in mind, she took out a cup of fruit tea from the beverage bag she was carrying and passed it to Su Yang. “Here, try this shop’s fruit tea. It’s delicious.”
Su Yang took it and opened it. He took a sip and it tasted sweet and sour. ‘Not bad indeed.
‘However… Han Yi isn’t like Lin Jiali who’s a C-ranked celebrity, so not many people would recognize her if she went out for a walk. But Han Yi is a quasi A-ranked celebrity, wouldn’t she be surrounded if she went to buy this fruit tea?’
At that thought, Su Yang could not help but ask, “Did you buy it yourself?”
Han Yi nodded nonchalantly. She opened her fruit tea and took a sip. Then she took out a black mask, sunglasses, hat and so on from her pocket.
Su Yang was speechless.
Alright, a necessary equipment for celebrities.
They chatted and drank fruit tea for half an hour before Lin Jiali walked out of the toilet.
When Lin Jiali came out of the toilet, she had a bright smile on her face. It was as if she was not the one who was crying earlier. She smiled and greeted Han Yi before rolling her eyes at Su Yang.
Han Yi asked Lin Jiali curiously, “Sister Jiali, are you alright? Why did you cry just now?”
Hearing Han Yi’s question, Su Yang looked at Lin Jiali curiously and nervously.
He was curious as to why Lin Jiali had such a big reaction.
And he was nervous because… He was afraid that Lin Jiali would tell Han Yi about him “teasing” his employees. Han Yi was not back at his agency yet, so if she found out about it, she might not return.
At that time, not only would his management agency miss out on a great general, even his Bronze-ranked Advanced Random Mission would fail too!
After all, apart from coaxing Lin Jiali, the mission also required Han Yi to return and the both of them had to coexist peacefully.
In the end, Lin Jiali only smiled and said, “It’s fine. It’s just that you guys came too early today, causing my morning temper to flare up again.”
Then, she glanced at Su Yang and said, “After all, a certain someone was very annoying.”
Su Yang looked down and refused to refute Lin Jiali. However, he did not forget to retaliate in his heart. ‘You’re the one who’s annoying, you’re the most annoying person and you’re extremely infuriating when you’re annoying…’
Han Yi blinked. She looked at Lin Jiali and then at Su Yang. She felt that the atmosphere between the both of them was a little weird, but she could not put her finger on it.
However, she had always been a happy-go-lucky person. She would not think about things that she could not understand, so she did not mind. Instead, she said, “That’s good. I thought Sister Jiali was unhappy because I’m returning to the agency.”
With that, the apartment fell silent.
Lin Jiali’s expression did not change. Su Yang, on the other hand, looked at Han Yi in surprise. ‘She’s actually being so forthcoming with it?’
‘Is this a matter that can be said outright?
‘Is she too naive, or is she just smart?’
Su Yang looked at Han Yi’s bright eyes and regarded her as the latter without hesitation.
‘She should be a smart person, shouldn’t she?
‘If she’s a smart person… then… As expected, to be able to become an A-ranked in such a complicated area like the entertainment industry, other than luck and ability, her IQ and EQ are definitely high…
‘Han Yi has obviously guessed something from Lin Jiali’s attitude this morning, so she decided to take the opportunity while her “boss isn’t around” to lay her cards on the table with Lin Jiali.’
Su Yang did not guess wrongly. Han Yi and Lin Jiali had known each other for a few years and she was very familiar with Lin Jiali. ‘If it was just her morning temper, she would not have had such a bad temper. There must be something wrong with her.’
Therefore, as soon as Han Yi left the house, she wondered if there was anything that could affect her relationship with Lin Jiali.
She thought about it for a long time and felt like the only possibility left was her return.
With that clue, Han Yi had more or less sorted out everything when she was buying fruit tea.
She was a sentimental person. When Tan Mei went to look for her, she told her everything about what Chu Hong had done back then. Tan Mei said that she hoped that Han Yi would return to the company and the latter agreed without hesitation.
However, when she thought about it at that moment, she realized she had simplified the matter. The agency was not a whole, she thought that New Arts Culture wanted her to go back because everyone in the agency wanted her to go back, but she did not think about whether her return would affect others.
If she went back, who would it affect?
Without a doubt, Lin Jiali.
She had actually thought about Lin Jiali’s attitude before, but she thought Tan Mei must have talked to Lin Jiali already.
However, after that morning, it was obvious that they had not talked.
‘So Lin Jiali is angry about my return…
‘I don’t care about others, but Lin Jiali has been my sister ever since I entered the industry. She’s also her best friend, so I’ve got to be wary. I don’t want to ruin our relationship because of this.’
That was why she had brought it up so directly. She wanted to have a frank discussion with Lin Jiali. ‘If Lin Jiali doesn’t wish for me to return, I won’t.
‘If she doesn’t mind, I’ll consider returning to New Arts Culture.’
Su Yang did not know how important Lin Jiali was to Han Yi, but he was worried that Lin Jiali would go back on her words after going to the toilet for half an hour. He was worried that she would say that she did not want Han Yi to return.
Hence, he looked at Lin Jiali nervously.
To her surprise, Lin Jiali only smiled and said, “Little Yi, don’t think too much about it. Of course I want you to come back. I hope you can bring me around more when you come back. After all, I want to be famous too.”
Han Yi said, “Then you’re not…”
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Jiali shook her head. “Don’t worry, I’m not. We’re best friends, so there’s no need for us to compare against each other. Besides, you’re stronger than me, so you’ll be the company’s mascot in the future, the most popular girl. In the meantime, I’ll have to rely on you to develop my career.”
Han Yi was surprised.
Su Yang was even more surprised. That was because [Space Traversing Eyes] kept flashing notifications as Lin Jiali spoke. [Sincerity], [Sincerity], [Extreme Sincerity]…
Su Yang was confused.
‘What the h*ll?
‘Is [Advanced Verbal Cannon] this powerful?
‘Am I able to completely alter a person’s attitude on a certain matter?
‘Why do I find it hard to believe?
‘It’s got to be fake.
‘If I really have that ability, I could hypnotize Mei Di’s boss and the world will regain peace.’
Su Yang pondered for a moment and felt that it might have different effects based on the person.
‘Perhaps some of my actions and words of persuasion happened to match Lin Jiali’s thoughts, resulting in such an effect…’
At the very least, Su Yang had some clues as to why Lin Jiali had changed.
Han Yi, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded. She had no idea what had caused Lin Jiali’s attitude to change so drastically.
She could not help but ask, “Sister Jiali, why did you suddenly…”
Lin Jiali added, “Why did I suddenly have such a drastic change, is it?”
She did not even look at Su Yang and said deliberately, “It’s nothing. I just had a chat with the boss and felt that I’ve made a decision. Me, I’m just an ordinary artiste in the agency. I can’t always be overconfident with myself.”
[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Tsundere], [Tsundere]…
Su Yang was speechless.
