“Since you don’t have feelings anymore, what’s the point of wasting time?” Lin Yi said.
“You’re not that old right now, and your job is good too. You have your own appeal if you want to get into another relationship.”
“I haven’t met a suitable candidate, have I?” Wang Ying said with a smile as she rested her face on her hands.
“If you have such thoughts, I can consider it.”
“There is saying that I’d rather destroy ten temples than destroy a marriage. I can’t do that.”
“Tsk, you don’t even cherish such a good chance.” Wang Ying said with a smile. She picked up a piece of shrimp and handed it to Lin Yi. “Try it. I ate it once before, and it was quite good.”
Lin Yi nodded. “Thank you, Sister Ying.”
The two chatted a lot after the meal.
It also gave Lin Yi a new understanding of Wang Ying.
No wonder she was always so close to him. It turned out that their marriage had come to an end, and they were just wasting time together.
After the meal, Lin Yi sent Wang Ying back.
“Driving is pretty tiring. Why don’t you stay here tonight?” Wang Ying said.
“I’d rather not, it’s not a good time right now.” Lin Yi said.
“I always thought you’d be brave, but I didn’t expect you to be so timid.” Wang Ying brushed aside her hair. “You’re too scared to eat it even when it’s right in front of your mouth, even when you don’t even have to take responsibility for it. What a coward.”
Lin Yi turned around, pinching Wang Ying’s chin as he smiled.
“One has to pay attention to their morals, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to keep you around until now.”
Wang Ying smiled sweetly. “I’m glad you said that.”
Wang Ying got out of the car and walked into her neighborhood.
Lin Yi then drove home. After swimming a few laps in the pool, he felt like something was missing.
He thought for a while before he figured out what was going on.
If Ji Qingyan was here, with the moonlight tonight, the scene would have been perfect.
Buzz, Buzz, Buzz.
A WeChat message came through his phone. He picked it up and saw that it was from the guy with smelly feet.
Pleated skirt, “God, let’s play a game together.”
Invisible chicken wings, “Don’t talk like that. Be normal.”
Pleated skirt, “I’m happy today. A person I hate has been fired. I’ll never see him again at work. Just thinking about it makes me happy.”
Pleated skirt, “I feel like I can surpass the gods today.”
Invisible chicken wings, “If you can even surpass the ghosts, that’s the greatest gift you can give me.”
Pleated skirt, “Don’t talk about me like that. At least I’m hardworking.”
Pleated skirt, “Hurry up and enter the game. I can’t wait any longer.”
He opened the game. The moment he entered, he received an invitation from the other party. With that, the two of them officially began their ranking journey.
(One hour later…)
Invisible chicken wings. “I’mf*cking convinced. I’ve played three rounds, and you’ve ranked bottom twice. I’m in my promotion series right now!”
Pleated skirt, “Don’t scold me. Maybe I’m too excited, and am playing a little too wild.”
Invisible chicken wings, “Can you be a little smarter when you play games? Has your IQ grown to become fierce?”
Invisible chicken wings, “F*ck, Ying Zheng is super godly. Why do you keep dying to him?”
Pleated skirt, “It’s because I’m using Jing Ke.”
Invisible chicken wings, “What does that have to do with Jing Ke?”
Pleated skirt, “Jing Ke always gets killed by Ying Zheng. This is fate.”
Invisible chicken wings, “Fate my *ss. Don’t invite me to play games in the future.”
Lin Yi was so angry that he immediately logged out of the game. He was supposed to rank up today, but she ruined everything.
Soon, he received a WeChat message on his phone.
Pleated skirt: “God, don’t be angry. I’ll treat you to a meal. You can pick any place you want as long as you don’t get angry.”
Invisible chicken wings, “Not interested.”
Pleated skirt, “Don’t! At least give me a chance to thank you. I beg you.”
Invisible chicken wings, “It won’t work even if you call me Daddy. Get lost.”
Pleated skirt, “Daddy.”
Lin Yi, “…”
Invisible chicken wings, “You’re awesome, book a place.”
Pleated skirt: “How about tomorrow night at 5:00? How about the restaurant known as People by the Sea?”
Invisible chicken wings, “That’s a western restaurant, right?”
Pleated skirt: “Isn’t the almighty used to Western Food?”
Invisible chicken wings, “I’m fine with anything.”
Pleated skirt, “Ok, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
After chatting on WeChat, Lin Yi returned to Villa Number Three, where he would stay for the day.
He woke up the next morning, washed up, and drove to the university.
“Hmm? Why is my desk gone?”
Seeing that his seat was empty, Lin Yi asked.
“Mr. Lin, have you forgotten? You’re already the vice-principal of the school. You can’t sit with us anymore.” Shi Li said.
“Miss Shi, you have to change your manner of speech. You can’t call him Mr. Lin anymore, you have to call him Vice-Principal Lin,” Li Xingbang said with a smile.
“Li Bro, don’t make fun of me,” Lin Yi said. “Just call me Little Lin.”
“No way, that’s the rule,” Li Xingbang said.
“We’ve already moved your desk into the inner office. Just go inside.”
“No way” Lin Yi said.
“I don’t want to sit with a female tiger in menopause. I still want to live a few more years. Help me move my desk out.”
“Who are you calling a female tiger?”
Sugar walked in from outside and rolled her eyes at Lin Yi.
The office was completely silent as everyone turned to look at Sugar.
Her current state was indeed a bit like a female tiger.
Ring, Ring, Ring…
Just as the atmosphere was in a stalemate, the school committee’s phone rang, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
“Hello, league committee’s office,” Song Jia said.
“Teacher, it’s bad. Xiaoyu is going to jump off a building. Come and take a look!”
“What? Jump off a building?!”
Song Jia’s voice was raised. She was obviously frightened.
The people in the office were also frightened.
They all looked at Song Jia, wanting to know what was going on.
“Well, there seems to be a problem with work. I can’t explain it over the phone. You and Teacher Su should come and take a look.”
“Okay, don’t worry. We’ll go over now!” Song Jia said, “Where are you now?”
“In the house we rented.”
“Alright, calm Xiaoyu down, we’ll go there now.”
“Jiajia, what happened?” Song Jia hung up and Sugar immediately asked. “Who called?”
“Liu Yang called, but he didn’t explain the situation. They are in the house they rented. He said that Xiaoyu wanted to jump off the building because of work.”
“Stop talking, Jiajia, Shi Li, let’s go first.” Sugar looked at Lin Yi. “You come too.”
“Okay!”
At this time, Lin Yi did not argue with Sugar anymore as the four of them rushed out of the door.
They ran to the parking lot and got into Lin Yi’s car together.
“Where’s the location?”
“People & Homes on Xuanqing Street,” Song Jia said.
“What’s going on? Who’s the one jumping off the building?” Lin Yi asked as he drove.
“The girl’s name is Sun Xiaoyu, and the person on the phone was Liu Yang. They were the top graduates of this year, and they rented a house after they left school. I didn’t think something like this would happen.” Song Jia explained.
Sun Xiaoyu had been the campus belle of the university, and her grades were excellent. She could be considered one of the pride of the university.
Sugar and Song Jia knew everything about her, including the house they shared. Sugar had had helped them find it, and the price was reasonable and cheap.
“You said just now that Sun Xiaoyu wanted to jump off a building because of work. Where does she work?”
“Director Lin should have heard of Sino-han Capital. It’s a very famous investment company,” Song Jia said.
“As an undergraduate, Xiaoyu was the first person in history to enter a company like Sino-han Capital.”
“Sino-han Capital?”Lin Yi muttered. Isn’t this Qin Han’s company?
“Alright, let’s not talk about anything else for now. Let’s go and see what’s going on.”
“Okay.”
When the three arrived at the house, they found that the area full of people. The police had set up a cordon around the perimeter, and an air bed had been laid down below to prevent any accidents from happening.
They looked up and could clearly see a figure standing on the roof. It was Sun Xiaoyu, whom Song Jia had previously mentioned.
“What are you doing? Get down!” The police officer shouted.
“Hello, Officer. The person on the roof is a student of our university. I’m her teacher. Can you let us go up?” Sugar said. “We want to go up and persuade her. This should be effective.”
After learning Sugar’s identity, the officer’s expression softened a lot.
“Wait a moment, I’ll talk to the chief about this.”
“Okay.”
“No need to talk, you guys want to come with me, right?”
While both sides were negotiating, a middle-aged man said.
Judging from his temperament and tone, this man should be the chief.
“Thank you.”
Under the lead of the police, Lin Yi and the others were led to the roof.
“Miss Su, Miss Song, Miss Shi.”
A girl with short hair ran over with tears in her eyes when she saw Sugar and the others.
Sugar’s heart was pounding as she looked at Xiaoyu.
“What’s going on? Xiaoyu was doing fine at work. Why would she want to commit suicide?”
“I’m not too sure about the details. I was on a break today and was sleeping at home when I saw Xiaoyu come back crying. I asked her what happened and she didn’t say anything. Then, she went back into her room. I think she had a fight with her boyfriend as they kept talking about work. I think this might be related to work.”
“Okay, I got it.”
With that, Sugar took a few steps forward.
“Xiaoyu, calm down. If you have something to say, say it slowly. Your teacher will make the decision for you!”
