s.h.i.+ Yao stared at the screen for quite some time, gradually becoming more and more convinced that her deduction was true. Thus, she lifted her finger and began typing: [Did Sis Jiayi tell you about what happened with…]
Out of habit, s.h.i.+ Yao instinctively wanted to type the words “Mumu”, but she instantly realized that the other party was no longer ‘Mumu’ but ‘Liang Mumu’ to her.
[… Liang Mumu and me?]
…
Lin Jiage waited until s.h.i.+ Yao walked into the female dormitory before going back to the streetlamp they had stopped at earlier. Using a tissue paper, he slowly picked up the broken shards of gla.s.s on the floor and threw them into the nearest garbage bin.
The deep night had cast a silent spell over the entire school. A swift glance in the surroundings, but there was no one to be seen.
However, Lin Jiage didn’t rush back to his dormitory room. Instead, he fished out his phone, searched for ‘Liang Jiusi’s’ number, and called him.
The phone rang for quite some time before someone finally picked up on the other end.
Liang Jiusi had most likely been woken up from his sleep. When he spoke, there was a deep drowsiness to his grudging tone, “Bro, do you know that interrupting someone’s sleep is extremely immoral?”
Through the phone, Lin Jiage could hear the sound of Liang Jiusi getting off his bed to get a cup of water.
While Liang Jiusi moved, he didn’t neglect to utter complaints one after another, “And did you know that you didn’t just wake me up from just any sleep—I was having a sweet dream! My Little Miaoxue visited me in an extremely sweet-looking and adorable piece of lingerie, and the fabric was the thin kind!”
“Oh, right, you probably don’t know who my Little Miaoxue is. That’s the female lead of a manga I just bought recently. The manga is really interesting, do you want to try reading it? You know, I would never lend it to anyone else, but if it’s you, I can reluctantly share my Little Miaoxue with you—”
“Liang Jiusi.”
Lin Jiage was used to Liang Jiusi’s habit of introducing all kinds of erotic manga to him whenever he answered the phone, so he cut him off just as the other party was starting to get lost in his own world.
His tone was extremely serious, forming a stark contrast with his usual calm self when he hung out with Liang Jiusi.
Just like that, Liang Jiusi’s long rambling abruptly halted.
Lin Jiage then continued, “I’m calling to give you a reminder: keep that cousin living in your house in check.”
Liang Jiusi was silent for two seconds before asking doubtfully, “Cousin? You mean Mumu? What’s wrong with her?”
Before Lin Jiage could reply, Liang Jiusi added, “Did something happen?
“I’ve known Mumu for years. Other than her spoiled personality, there really isn’t anything particularly bad about her. You know that she’s liked you since she was a kid, so if she did something immature to you, I’ll apologize for her. Please don’t mind her actions too mu—”
Before Liang Jiusi could finish saying the last word “much”, Lin Jiage had already spat out with an utterly cold tone, “I mind it. A lot.”
Liang Jiusi: “Ah? Is it really that serious? What did she do?”
“You can ask her directly what she did. It’s because I view you as a brother that I’m making this clear to you right here. I hope that this is the first time she’s done something like this, and it should definitely be the last!” As the words left Lin Jiage’s mouth, his tone grew more and more chilling, to the point where even his expression had turned a little scary. “If this happens again, I can a.s.sure you that it won’t end with something as simple as a call!”
