After Liu Nian saw Jing Baisen off, he returned to the room and picked up the ring.
Liu Nian looked at the ring, put it in his pocket, and then left.
The butler found it strange, thinking, "Master Sen only left not long ago, so why is he back already?"
Although the room was very well soundproofed, the servants outside could still hear the sounds of people rummaging through drawers and cabinets inside.
But no one dared to ask, so they could only talk about it among themselves.
When the room finally quieted down, Jing Baisen came out and called a few servants to clean the room.
As soon as they entered, all the servants were stunned.
Not only were all the cabinets opened, but even the bed in the room was stood up.
Jing Baisen left with the words, "If you see a ring, send it down to me."
After saying that, Jing Baisen went downstairs and sat down in the living room.
He was puzzled. If the ring had really been lost in that moment, there was no way he could have lost it.
If it's truly gone, then it can only be...
Someone has been in his room again.
No one, except Liu Nian, is allowed to enter his room without permission.
The servants tidied up again, but still couldn't find the so-called ring.
Jing Baisen sat on the sofa, his hands on the armrests clenching tighter and tighter.
Liu Nian took that ring again.
What was Liu Nianhui thinking?
Do you think you threw the ring away?
So... does the proposal still count?
Although Jing Baisen would never accept Liu Nian's marriage proposal, the fact that Liu Nian took the ring means he might be misunderstood by Liu Nian, which are two different things.
At this moment, Liu Nian was playing with the ring as he filled out the application form for his exchange program abroad.
Xiao Guai: "...Liu Nian, are you really leaving?"
“Let’s go,” Liu Nian filled in the date and name. “We’ve already come this far. If I stay, wouldn’t that be too undignified? If I don’t even have my own dignity, how can I talk about changing him?”
Xiao Guai: "So, are you going to break up with Jing Baisen?"
Liu Nian: "We'll talk when we get back."
Fang Xiao was very happy for Liu Nian when he learned that Liu Nian had agreed to go abroad on an exchange program, and even treated him to a meal outside the school.
These past few days, Jing Bolin has been sending people to keep an eye on Fang Xiao whenever he has a spare moment, fearing that this person might steal his older brother's girlfriend.
Good heavens!
He actually invited Liu Nian to dinner alone! What is he up to?!
Jing Bolin took a picture of the two of them, but hesitated a little when it came time to send it to his older brother.
In the end, he only told his older brother that Liu Nian had already submitted an exchange application.
After finishing his meal, Liu Nian returned to the Jing family home.
Jing Baisen hadn't returned yet, so he sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and watched the cartoons he always liked, which required absolutely no brainpower.
When Jing Baisen returned, he immediately saw Liu Nian, grabbed his tie, and went over to sit down next to him.
Liu Nian leaned on his knees without looking at him, and said directly, "My professor gave me an opportunity to go abroad on exchange, and I should be going for a year."
"..." Jing Baisen was preoccupied with the ring, so he swallowed his anger and said, "Do you want to go?"
“I want to go,” Liu Nian sighed, then said sarcastically, “If I go, you’ll probably just break up with me.”
Jing Baisen: "...You found out again?"
Liu Nian rolled over, propped herself up with her hands, and rested her head on his lap. Looking at him, she asked, "If I go, will you break up with me?"
Jing Baisen just looked at him with his eyes lowered.
He's already submitted the application, why is he still asking himself this?
What, if I dump him because of this, will he agree?
“Why should we break up?” Jing Baisen looked at him and said, “You think I’m just driven by lust and can’t live without you, right?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Nian's eyes lit up immediately.
Even Xiao Guai was stunned.
He actually... couldn't tell the difference.
And judging from his tone, it seems he agrees to Liu Nian going abroad for an exchange program.
After saying that, Jing Baisen pulled Liu Nian off his lap and said, "Now that you're gone, I'll have some peace and quiet. It'll save me from your constant slutty behavior, every single day..."
Jing Baisen choked for a moment.
In that case, it seems like he wanted more.
Liu Nian, who had been pulled down, immediately pounced on him again, laughing but saying with great dissatisfaction, "Master Sen, I didn't expect you to be so annoying to me all the time?"
Jing Baisen pushed his face away, telling him to get further away.
Liu Nian insisted on rushing towards him, and before long, the two started getting all lovey-dovey.
Jing Baisen then realized he was concerned about Liu Nian's exchange program abroad and asked him, "Are you going by yourself?"
“No,” Liu Nian said, “there’s another senior student. We’ll each get one spot, and we’ll go together.”
Upon hearing that it was a senior, Jing Baisen narrowed his eyes and asked, "Senior? What senior?"
Liu Nian then seemed to suddenly remember something and said somewhat awkwardly, "He's just... a senior, just an ordinary senior, what kind of senior could he be?"
"Could it be that senior you booked a room with last time?" Jing Baisen asked him ominously.
“What do you mean by booking a room? I already said it wasn’t booking a room…” Liu Nian’s voice trailed off after he finished speaking. Facing Jing Baisen’s gaze, he said, “You, you shouldn’t overthink it.”
Jing Baisen simply scoffed.
Liu Nian continued to explain: "...just an ordinary friend."
“A regular friend?” Jing Baisen squinted at him. “Since he’s just a regular friend, then let’s invite him over to our home and have him be our guest.”
Liu Nian's eyes darted around. "Huh? Okay, okay."
Xiao Guai was so excited she was almost incoherent, "Liu Nian, he wants to announce your relationship with him, right?! He actually wants to meet your friends!"
Liu Nian: "...I really didn't expect it to turn out like this."
But to his dismay, the data hadn't changed.
Seeing that Liu Nian didn't seem very happy, Jing Baisen was even more puzzled.
He likes me, and by meeting his friends, I've essentially acknowledged his relationship with me. Why isn't he happy?
Did he already intend to have his cake and eat it too?
Jing Baisen felt that it was absolutely necessary for him to meet his senior.
