After berating Lu Benlai, Lin Jiage turned to Xia Shangzhou and said, "Old Xia, ignore him . His foul mouth is incapable of saying anything nice . "
Xia Shangzhou couldn't help giving a grateful look toward Lin Jiage . Putting aside everything that had happened, it seemed like Boss would still side with him when it came to something that truly mattered . . .
But unfortunately, his illusion didn't even last for three seconds before it was heartlessly shattered by the 'gentle-sounding' Lin Jiage, "Old Xia, I thought about it, and I think you're right . I come from a good background, and I'm good at academics too . Even without working hard, I can easily reach heights that other people struggle to climb to . More importantly, I was blessed with my other half even before I was born . Indeed, it does seem like the heavens do favor me, and a great deal at that, or else how could Sis Yao possibly turn out to be Yaoyao?"
Xia Shangzhou suddenly felt that he'd been cheated of his emotions .

On the other hand, Lin Jiage was still oblivious that he'd completely gone off on a tangent, "Say, do you think that I'm the legendary 'chosen one'?"
"Actually, my life isn't as easy as you think . Even when I was invigilating, someone still tried to hit on me…" At this point, Lin Jiage heaved a deep sigh before continuing, " . . . Sigh! Thinking of it now, I think that I'll have a really difficult life ahead of me . Not only do I have to fend off admirers, I'll also have to keep Yaoyao's suitors at bay too…"
Xia Shangzhou could clearly feel a surge of blood gushing up his throat, threatening to spew out, " . . . "
Boss, are you sure that you're consoling me and not showing off?

Lin Jiage shot a glance at Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou, and with a deeply troubled frown between his brows, he spoke deeply untroubling words, "I guess there's no point telling you all of that . After all, it's the kind of trouble that you'd never understand . After all, many roads lead to Rome, but not everyone is born in Rome like me!"
Xia Shangzhou clutched desperately at his severely wounded heart, thinking that the spurt of blood in his throat wasn't going to burst out but suffocate him .
Lin Jiage said that nothing nice could come out of Lu Benlai's foul mouth, but had he bothered looking in the mirror yet? His mouth was like a trapdoor, shooting out hidden weapons one after another until everyone within range was dead through and through!
At the same time, the innocent Lu Benlai who was suddenly insulted while watching the drama as a bystander blinked his eyes again and again . . .

He suddenly felt that he shouldn't have been so nosey . . . As the adage of the old sages goes, how could those who skirt by the riverbank possibly avoid getting wet themselves? Those who spent their time watching the jokes of others would one day find the joke being on them .
After saying his piece, Lin Jiage was about to go back to his bed, but after a moment of thought, he felt that since Xia Shangzhou wanted to have a good talk with him, it wouldn't do to leave this matter hanging just like that . At the very least, he shouldn't leave so abruptly in the middle of the conversation . So, he asked, "Is our talk over yet?"
Without the slightest bit of hesitation, Xia Shangzhou nodded his head vehemently and said, "Over! Our talk is definitely over! In fact, it should've been over five minutes ago!"
Then you should've said so earlier! What a waste of my breath . . . With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage climbed onto his bed, and while hugging his pillow tightly, he picked up his phone, ready to look for Shi Yao .
As he unlocked his phone screen, a smile unwittingly crept onto his lips .
Instead of looking at the unread messages on , he tapped straight into his chat with and tapped out a [?] . However, just as he was about to hit send, he looked at the message once more and felt that it wasn't intimate enough . Thus, he added another three words to it: [Are you sleep?]
He checked it carefully, and after confirming that there were no problems whatsoever, he tapped on the send button .
But soon after, a red exclamation mark appeared in front of his message .
Following which, a small gray box filled with words appeared: [The message has been successfully sent but rejected by the receiver . ]
