The Beautiful Time With You

“But even though Qin Yiran did something wrong, Lin Jiage shouldn’t have done that to her. After all, as a guy, he should at least act like a gentleman towards the ladies. Isn’t this too painful for Qin Yiran’s pride? No matter what, he should have at least spared her some dignity!”

“That’s right! Even though Qin Yiran made a mistake, she did it because she likes him. To treat someone who likes him so horribly, he really went overboard…”

Upon hearing those words, Lin Jiage’s quick-paced footsteps out of the hall suddenly came to a halt.

There were many students inside the hall, but his hearing was truly good to a frightening extent. He was able to accurately identify where the voices had come from, and he walked straight up towards the duo who had just spoken those words.

The room fell silent once more upon seeing his actions.

Lin Jiage’s voice wasn’t loud, but those around him could hear his words clearly.

“Pride is something that you give yourself, not something that others give you. The same applies to dignity as well. Dignity obtained through begging is not dignity but pity.”

“Also, you said that a man should act like a gentleman towards the ladies? If a man were to act gentlemanly to everyone, he wouldn’t be a gentleman but acentral heater ¹ !”

“Also, I hate those people who use my name to cause trouble for others. That’s not what it means to like someone; that’s just being unethical.”

“If you feel like I went overboard with my actions today, let me just tell you this: the only person I won’t go overboard with is the girl I like!”

…

“AHHHHH, what do I do? I feel like my Adonis is deadly cool today!”

“What deadly cool? More like coolness beyond measure!”

” ‘If you feel like I went overboard with my actions today, let me just tell you this: the only person I won’t go overboard with is the girl I like!’ His boyfriend meter has hit MAX levels…”

“I really didn’t expect Adonis Lin to have such a venomous tongue. He went a little too far, but I like that! But speaking of which, Adonis Lin can’t be blamed for this matter either. Belle Qin is simply too calculating. As the saying goes, you reap what you sow!”

He Tiantian and Jiang Yue’s agitated voices filled Shi Yao’s ears, but as she was immersed in her own thoughts, she didn’t speak a word.

So, Lin Jiage and Qin Yiran weren’t a couple…

Did that mean that she’d misunderstood him when she used that dating rumor to diss him?

…

“Do you feel that there’s something weird about our boss today?”

“I feel the same too. A lot of girls have tried to ask out our boss, and quite a few of them resorted to little schemes to make people assume that they were dating him. But usually, our boss has never been bothered about it. While Qin Yiran did go a little farther than the previous girls, it’s not like she committed some unpardonable crime. Truthfully speaking, our boss feels frighteningly on edge today. It’s as if he’s a completely different person!”

“As the only person in Room 501 with a girlfriend, I should have the most say about all this. In my opinion, our boss isn’t on edge. He’s doing this to clear up the rumors. Or should I say, he’s afraid of being misunderstood by someone…”

Xia Shangzhou, Lu Benlai, and Song Chaoxi quietly discussed the issue as they walked behind Lin Jiage, keeping a distance of around a half meter from him.

However, shortly after they started walking, Lin Jiage abruptly stopped without warning in front of them.

The trio quickly shut their mouths as they glanced ahead with confused expressions. Following which, they saw a young lady rushing towards them with her head lowered, not paying attention to the road ahead of her—

…

“Yaoyao, you’re about to bump into someone!”
