Chapter 112 Conflict
Xiao Hua Hua: [Host, when you lied to the male protagonist about your birthday, didn’t you swear to him that you could make him climb into your bed within half a year? Counting the days, there is only one and a half months left. Do you think he will really climb into your bed? 】
Lin Tian: "You can't remember other things, but you remember this clearly."
Xiaohuahua: [I’m just curious about how you would trick the male protagonist into coming to bed. 】
Lin Tian: "Guess~"
Xiaohuahua: [You idiot, can’t you just tell me? 】
"What do you know, little kid?"
Why don’t I understand? I am young, but I read a lot of novels. 】
"You know, guess~"
【……】
"How much is the male protagonist's favorability towards me?"
When Xiao Huahua heard this, she also started to sound mean, imitating Lin Tian's tone.
[Guess~~~]
Lin Tian: "..."
Why don’t you continue asking? 】
"No need to ask, I can guess, about 83 percent."
Xiao Huahua was shocked: [So accurate, exactly 83%. How did you guess it? 】
"Use your brain."
【……】
Xiao Huahua scratched her head and remembered a sentence: When you don't love someone, you can always stay calm. Lin Tian seemed to have never been panicked, except for the last time he saw the cut on Ji Beichi's wrist:
[Isn’t it said that when people like someone, their minds are least clear? You know him so well and are aware of his love for you. Could it be that you don't like the male protagonist at all? Otherwise, why can't I find your favorability towards the male protagonist here?]
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows: "Guess~"
Xiao Huahua was so angry that her teeth were itching and her heart was boiling with rage. She wished she could rush out of the space immediately and bite Lin Tian hard.
There was a knock on the door.
Lin Tian, who was sorting out the contracts, heard the voice, without even raising his head, but just put the integrated contracts aside.
"Come in."
The butler opened the door and walked to stand beside Lin Tian, very respectful.
A stack of investigation information was placed in front of Lin Tian.
Lin Tian lowered his head and began to look through the information.
The butler stood aside, leaning forward slightly, and carefully reported the company information.
Wait until the report is completed.
Lin Tian nodded slightly.
"Yes, I understand."
The butler bowed slightly, walked out, and closed the door gently.
After processing all the documents, Lin Tian leaned back and sank lazily into the soft leather seat.
Lift your head and look toward the ceiling.
After a moment.
He picked up the phone on the table, tapped the screen, clicked on He Qiubai's contact information, and dialed the number.
The beep of the phone being connected echoed in the quiet space.
After a few sounds, He Qiubai's cheerful voice came from the other side, with a smile:
"Hello? What's wrong with Lin Tian? Is there anything wrong?"
Lin Tian casually played with a pen in front of him:
"Have you had any conflicts with Yu Chen recently?"
He Qiubai: "Brother, can you expect me to order something good?"
Lin Tian continued to ask: "How far has it developed?"
He Qiubai was silent for a moment, then half-jokingly questioned:
"Lin Tian, tell the truth. You ask questions all day long. Are you investigating me?"
Lin Tian answered truthfully:
"I have already investigated it. Now I just want to know whether you are happy and well."
He Qiubai smiled and joked: "If I didn't know that you like boys, I would have mistakenly thought that you had a crush on me. Although it's narcissistic to say this, you are too concerned about my situation."
Lin Tian said calmly: "Well, I do care about you, and I hope you can be happy. After all, you are my good friend."
He Qiubai coughed lightly and suppressed his smile:
"Yu Chen and I are doing fine, don't worry, both sides have met each other's parents, and we will be engaged in the middle of next month, and should be married as soon as we graduate."
Lin Tian smiled:
"Are you sure you're going to get engaged so soon?"
He Qiubai had a happy expression, smiled, and spoke with a firm tone.
"Of course, I wouldn't be engaged if I wasn't sure."
Lin Tian: "That's fine."
He Qiubai changed the subject:
"How about you? How are things going with that handsome guy Ji Beichi? You haven't been to school recently. Are you having a conflict with him? I often see him studying alone in the library. Aren't you going to look for him?"
Lin Tian: “There was no conflict.”
He Qiubai deliberately frightened him: "I've met him several times recently, and I saw a lot of pretty girls looking for him. Are you sure you don't want to go back to school to check it out? Be careful that he gets kidnapped by some pretty girl."
Lin Tian: "He won't be kidnapped."
He Qiubai: "How can you be so sure that he won't be abducted?"
Lin Tian: "He likes me."
"..." He Qiubai was speechless for a moment, and then he said, "If I like you, won't he be abducted? How long have you not looked for him?"
"It should be about three months, right?"
"So long?"
He Qiubai kept in touch with Lin Tian from time to time. From their daily chats, he got to know Lin Tian a little better and knew that he loved to tease people.
She reminded:
"After not contacting each other for so long, do you still think he still likes you?"
Lin Tian was silent for a moment.
"meeting."
He Qiubai pursed his lips, hesitated for a while, and finally said what was in his mind:
"People's hearts won't always be warm, they will cool down sooner or later. Although I haven't had much contact with Ji Beichi, my intuition tells me that he is a very good person, so don't mess with it."
Lin Tian: “No.”
He Qiubai was choked by his firm attitude and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After sharing with Lin Tian her happy and sweet life with Yu Chen, she hung up the phone.
*
The school is on winter vacation.
Ji Beichi finally took Si Mojun's sister's car and started his journey home.
Leaning quietly against the car window, his eyes were cast faintly at the snowflakes falling outside the car. There was not much emotion on his face, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
While driving, Si Ya looked in the rearview mirror and handed over a bag of snacks. Si Mojun took it and quickly handed it to Ji Beichi, saying with a smile:
"Lao Chi, would you like some snacks? The journey home is quite long."
Ji Beichi lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on the bag of snacks, turned his head slightly, smiled politely and said:
"No, thank you."
Si Ya looked at Ji Beichi with concern through the rearview mirror:
"Bei Chi, are you unhappy?"
Ji Beichi shook his head with a smile on his face:
"No, I'm going home for the New Year, so of course I'm happy."
Si Ya was silent for a moment, as if considering her words, and then asked:
"Ji Beichi, do you have someone you like now?"
Hearing this question, Ji Beichi lowered his eyes.
He clenched his hands tightly, and after a long while, he whispered:
"there is none left."
Si Ya smiled, pursed her lips, and continued to ask:
"Are you thinking of falling in love now?"
Ji Beichi shook his head, "I have no plans at the moment."
Si Ya was a little nervous, looked in the rearview mirror and asked:
"When are you going to have a relationship?"
Ji Beichi pursed his lips with mixed emotions.
"I don't want to talk about it."
Si Mojun turned his head to look at Ji Beichi, and seeing that his expression was becoming increasingly cold, he knew that he didn't want to continue the conversation.
It looked like there was no hope for his sister.
Si Mojun quickly started talking to Si Ya.
When Si Ya heard Si Mojun talking about family matters, her attention was gradually diverted. She stopped talking to Ji Beichi and started chatting with Si Mojun about trivial matters at home.
Ji Beichi was still immersed in his own thoughts, quietly looking at the flying snowflakes outside the window.
