Gu Nanqiang:
Thank you, brother-in-law.
The two calls of brother-in-law had left Lin Jiage’s heart in full bloom, and he felt as if he was walking on clouds. It was to the extent that even he, who had never praised a single person in his life before, didn’t even realize how sweet his mouth had become,
Nanqiang, I must say that you are really a good-looking person. You are tall with a good physique, your eyebrows are thick, your facial features are very distinctive, and even your dress-up is very fashionable too…
Those words made Shi Yao direct a very bizarre gaze toward Lin Jiage.
Why… is he so weird today? He is completely unlike how he is usually… For some reason, I am actually seeing traces of a bootlicker on him today… Not just that, I keep getting very weird and terrifying vibes from him today. Is he the one that is weird, or am I just thinking too much about it?
Catching Shi Yao’s gaze, Lin Jiage blinked his eyes questioningly. Could Soft Bun possibly be unhappy because he kept showering only her younger brother with praises?
With such a thought in mind, Lin Jiage added,
Yaoyao, as expected of your younger brother!
Ah… The bootlicking vibe that he is exuding has just gotten much stronger… At this point, it doesn’t seem like I’m just imagining things up anymore? Maybe, the pain in his stomach affected his head too?
In view that Lin Jiage was a patient, Shi Yao decided to let the matter drop.
I have to go and check on my porridge now. If you have any needs, feel free to order Nanqiang around…
As she spoke, Shi Yao turned to Gu Nanqiang and nagged,
And you, stop playing with your phone and reading comics; your exams are just next month! Have you finished doing the paper which Aunt Gu has instructed you to do today yet?
Alright, alright…
Seemingly irritated by Shi Yao’s nagging, Gu Nanqiang replied with a hint of impatience in his voice. Nevertheless, he still got to his desk and whipped out a paper from his bag.
Seeing this, Shi Yao turned around and left the bedroom.
Lin Jiage didn’t head to the washroom either. He lay idly on Shi Yao’s bed as he scanned every nook and cranny of her room to pass time.
He had to say that Soft Bun was a true glutton through and through. Her bedsheet was imprinted with strawberries, the hooks hanging on the walls were ice cream-shaped, her bolster was a corn, and even the mat beneath her study desk had sweets of all shapes and sizes printed on it… Speaking of which, her younger brother’s leg hair was really lush, but well, that only served to accentuate his masculinity!
Soft Bun’s bedsheet sure has a pleasant smell to it; it’s of the same smell as her, sweet and fluffy… With such a thought in mind, Lin Jiage couldn’t help but close his eyes and take in a deep breath. Then, he buried himself in Shi Yao’s pillow and secretly giggled.
How good it would be if he could dominate Soft Bun’s bed for his entire life and never have to leave…
As miscellaneous thoughts flitted across his mind, the young man, who hadn’t slept for an entire day, found himself overwhelmed by the exhaustion he had built up so far, and just like that, he really fell asleep.
…
It was already the afternoon by the time Lin Jiage opened his eyes once more.
Looking around, he found that there was no one else other than him in Shi Yao’s bedroom. Other than that, there was a blanket placed over his body—something that wasn’t there when he fell asleep.
Did Soft Bun put it on him?
Lin Jiage suddenly felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
After which, he carefully placed the blanket by the side, got off the bed, and headed out of the bedroom.
Shi Yao and Gu Nanqiang were seated at a dining table.
With her eyes fixated on the test paper on the dining table, Shi Yao was softly uttering some words that were inaudible from where he was standing.
For some reason, Lin Jiage found this scene exceptionally warm and wonderful. He looked by the side silently for a long while before finally making his way over.
It was only when he came closer did he realize that Shi Yao was deciphering the English paper for Gu Nanqiang.
The first one to notice the presence of another person near them was Gu Nanqiang. He turned his head over to look at Lin Jiage.
Do you get it?
After explaining the entire question, Shi Yao instinctively asked. Noting that there was no response, she turned her head over to look at Gu Nanqiang and saw that he wasn’t paying attention at all, just as she had expected. So, she asked
What are you looking at
while turning her gaze in the direction where his eyes were directed toward.
