Lin Jiage’s eyebrows shot up. While his words were directed toward Lin Jiayi, his gaze remained fixated on Shi Yao, “Are you afraid?”

Lin Jiayi: “Me? Afraid? You should know, Lin Jiage, if Grandpa hadn’t forbidden me from learning taekwondo when I was six, with all his talk about how ladies should strive to be dignified and demure, I would’ve knocked you out right now!”

The edges of Lin Jiage’s lips twitched.

On any other day, I wouldn’t expose your lies, but today is an exception. I can’t let Soft Bun think that I can’t do it…

With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage coldly sneered a “Hehe” before refuting, “Did Grandpa refuse to let you learn taekwondo really because he wanted you to be demure? It’s obviously because of that incident when you first entered primary school. You know, when the teacher invited the students up to introduce themselves and display their talents? You walked up to the blackboard and said, ‘Nice to meet you all. I’m Lin Jiayi, and my talent is—’, and then you lifted your leg and broke the teacher’s table into two. You made an entire room full of children burst into tears that day, remember? For half a month, all the students were too scared to talk about you. Grandpa only stopped you from learning taekwondo because he was afraid you’d end up isolated and eccentric!”

Lin Jiayi immediately grabbed a nearby pillow and threw it at Lin Jiage, “Would you die if you couldn’t say a word?”

Lin Jiage calmly leaned back, dodging the flying pillow.

The flying pillow flew past him and landed squarely on Xia Shangzhou’s face.

Without the slightest sincerity in her voice, Lin Jiayi said, “My fault, Navigator.”

Xia Shangzhou rubbed his aching nose, but he didn’t dare to vent his indignation. “It’s fine, it’s fine, Big Sis Lin.”

Upon seeing this sight, Shi Yao shot Xia Shangzhou an ‘I’ll pity you for a second’ look before turning her undivided attention back to her fruit platter.

When she finally emptied out the fruit platter, she quickly recalled the official matter at hand. She called out, “Sis Jiayi!” before passing the fresh flowers on the table to Lin Jiayi. “This is for you.”

A brilliant gleam immediately twinkled in Lin Jiayi’s eyes, and a rare gentleness softened her facial features, “Yaoyao, is this a gift you prepared for me? But, how did you know that I’d be returning today? Oh, I love the present you got me, these flowers are really gorgeous…”

“That’s not it, Sis Jiayi. These flowers aren’t from me…” Shi Yao quickly shook her head to explain. “… they’re from Lin Jiage…”

“Oh, is that so…” The gentleness on Lin Jiayi’s face vanished into coldness the instant she heard that the flowers were from Lin Jiage.

However, considering that it was Shi Yao who was passing the flowers to her, she still chose to take them.

“Sis Jiayi, this too…” Shi Yao took out the accessory packages from the bag and pushed them over to Lin Jiayi. “… These are the gifts that Lin Jiage prepared for you. He said that you managed to clinch a big project recently, so he got these just to congratulate you on your success. He was going to have them shipped over to you, but your phone happened to be switched off at the time—”

“You said that Jiage called me?” Lin Jiayi asked doubtfully.

She did switch off her phone on the plane ride back home, but she didn’t receive any missed calls from Lin Jiage when she switched it back on after arriving.

Lin Jiayi was just about to continue probing when a certain young man, who had been sitting perfectly fine on the sofa a moment ago, suddenly groaned loudly as he bent forward with a pained expression.

Noticing his state, Xia Shangzhou immediately tensed up. “Boss! Boss! What’s wrong?”

Lin Jiage didn’t speak a word, but internally, he was thinking how glad he was that his roommate could still be reliable at a critical juncture such as this. On the surface, however, the furrows between his brows were deepening by the moment, as if he was in excruciating pain.
