Chapter 136: It Was Common Knowledge

The atmosphere fell into an inexplicable awkwardness again. Xia Qinghuan quickly blinked at Yan Tian and gave him a hint.

Seeing this, Yan Tian hurriedly called out to everyone, “The food is cold. Everyone, quickly sit down and eat.”

Everyone felt the atmosphere was subtle, so they all sat back in their seats. Jian Ai didn’t react much from the beginning to the end. Even when she saw that Jian Yiyi gave Lin Yi a fountain pen, she was just a little surprised and didn’t have any other emotions.

Jian Ai knew that it was purely an accident that Jian Yiyi bought the same gift as her. The other party didn’t know that she gave a fountain pen as well, so no one was at fault in this matter.

Everyone else’s reaction was exaggerated. Jian Ai was only Lin Yi’s classmate in the first place. Everyone looked as if they were going to reveal what they intended to hide.

A fountain pen instantly made Jian Yiyi the main character at the dining table. Based on her familiarity with Lin Yi, everything she had arranged for Lin Yi tonight and the expensive birthday gift she had given him—it had exceeded the boundaries of their relationship.

Jian Yiyi’s motive was obvious.

Lin Yi was no fool. He also felt that Jian Yiyi’s excessive enthusiasm for him was not groundless. However, he could not give any response because he knew he had fallen for Jian Ai.

Everyone had different emotions in their hearts, and they ate their meal in silence. It was as if Jian Ai was the only one who was seriously tasting the delicious food.

After living for two lifetimes, Jian Ai couldn’t help but praise the dinner Jian Yiyi had arranged for tonight. The dishes were the best in the world.

After leaving the restaurant, Lin Yi deliberately fell behind and went to Jian Ai’s side. He opened his mouth but said nothing.

Jian Ai looked at him and chuckled in amusement. “Why do you have such an expression? Speak.”

Lin Yi looked up at Jian Yiyi, who was explaining the hot spring to everyone. He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “I still like the pen you gave me.”

Jian Ai couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. But Lin Yi looked away shyly.

“I think so too. Although the gift I gave wasn’t as expensive as Jian Yiyi’s, it’s more suitable for you,” Jian Ai said softly.

Lin Yi frowned and turned to look at Jian Ai. His words were ambiguous enough. Did she not understand or did she do it on purpose?

“I didn’t mean that. I mean—”

Jian Ai interrupted Lin Yi mid-sentence. Jian Ai suddenly sped up and turned to Lin Yi. “Let’s go. Everyone is waiting for us.”

Lin Yi looked up and saw that everyone was already on the bus.

He sighed and swallowed his confession.

Baiyun Mountain Hot Springs was not a natural hot spring, they artificially developed it. However, in this day and age where entertainment projects were scarce, such artificial hot springs were only accessible to rich people.

They divided the hot springs by gender, so they split into two teams outside the changing room.

In the changing room, Lin Yi took off his shirt. There was no doubt about his well-defined chest muscles and six-pack abs. He grabbed his shirt and threw it into the closet in frustration.

Yan Tian and Gao Yang couldn’t help but look at each other. They didn’t know what was wrong with Lin Yi.

He was fine just now.

Yan Tian gave Gao Yang a look. Seeing this, Gao Yang took off his glasses and walked to Lin Yi bare-chested. However, before he could say anything, Lin Yi locked the closet and walked towards the entrance of the hot spring.
