‘You already like Little Junior?’
Like Soft Bun?
I like Soft Bun?
As these three lines of doubt flashed across Lin Jiage’s head, an entire line of question marks appeared before his eyes: ??????
It took a while before Lin Jiage finally processed what Xia Shangzhou just said.
Is there something wrong with Xia Shangzhou? To actually say that I like Shi Yao…
Without thinking too deeply about it, he instinctively replied to Xia Shangzhou, “What kind of—”
But halfway through his sentence, Lin Jiage abruptly halted. He didn’t know what was wrong with him, but for some reason, he felt a little unsure on the inside, which made the following words sound greatly unconvincing, “… nonsense are you spouting?”
“I’m not spouting nonsense, everything that I said is based on facts!” Xia Shangzhou insisted. He pointed to Lu Benlai, who was currently reading on his bed and said, “Boss, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Little Lailai. Ask him if he agrees with what I just said!”
Being yanked into the conflict all of a sudden, Lu Benlai nearly dropped the book in his hands out of fright.
The heck… If you want to argue with Boss, so be it. Why do you have to drag me into it too?
Lu Benlai decided that he couldn’t hear anything at all, choosing to focus on his book instead.
“Little Lailai? Lu Benlai?” Unfortunately, Xia Shangzhou didn’t plan on letting Lu Benlai off the hook so easily. He called his name again and again, and after seeing that Lu Benlai wasn’t responding at all, he even tugged at his pants, nearly yanking them down.
Lu Benlai hurriedly secured his pants in place before sitting up with a confused expression, “What’s wrong?”
Xia Shangzhou: “Little Lailai, do you think what I said makes sense?”
“Ah?” Lu Benlai blinked his eyes in confusion; it seemed like he didn’t understand what they were talking about. “What did you say just now? I was reading my novel, so I didn’t catch it…”
“Lies! Don’t think that I didn’t see you sneaking peeks at me and Boss!” Xia Shangzhou mercilessly tore apart Lu Benlai’s excuse.
Lu Benlai was still about to feign ignorance, but before he could say anything, Lin Jiage had already turned a composed gaze to him and said, “Say what’s on your mind.”
Lu Benlai secretly gritted his teeth in anger. Left with no choice, he could only swallow the excuses he had prepared back into his stomach while ‘greeting’ the many ancestors of Xia Shangzhou’s family.
The heck! He never thinks of me when good things happen, but in times of adversity, he never forgets to drag me down…
Lu Benlai swiftly scrambled through his mind for a moment before speaking up with a smile. In order to prevent the flames from touching him, he intentionally made his words as roundabout as they could get, “Each man is unique and different. Take me for example; after finding my fiancée, I’ve never private messaged any other girls, and ‘other girls’ include Sis Yao as well. Of course, I still try to take care of her in the game. After all, of the four of us, she’s the only girl in our group, so it’s only right to show her care and concern. But I do that solely out of friendship; there are no other emotions in play here, so I think my fiancée should be able to understand…”
A second after Lu Benlai finished speaking, Xia Shangzhou immediately added, “So Boss, since you already have Little Junior, you should learn from Little Lailai. You shouldn’t have any inappropriate thoughts toward my Sis Yao!”
“Boss, you already snatched away my goddess, so don’t snatch Sis Yao away from me too!”
My goddess?
A deep crease appeared on Lin Jiage’s forehead.
Sensing an air of danger, Xia Shangzhou instantly changed his words, “Sorry, I misspoke. What I meant is that Boss, since you’ve already snatched away my mommy, don’t snatch Sis Yao away from me too!”
