Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Milkbiscuit

Shi Yao was in the middle of speaking to Lin Jiayi when she noticed Lin Jiage’s abnormal state as well. She quickly rushed over to his side and asked, “What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?”

However, Lin Jiage seemed to be in too much pain that he couldn’t even speak. Seeing this, Shi Yao’s tone became a little flustered, “Why don’t we head to the hospital and have the doctors do some scans or something?”

Xia Shangzhou was also alarmed by Lin Jiage’s condition, “You’re right! Boss, let’s head to the hospital right now…”

Lin Jiage strenuously raised his hand and shook it twice, gesturing that there was no need for that.

Not too far away, Lin Jiayi was looking at this scene unfold with a perfectly composed face. As she watched how Lin Jiage was acting, a disdainful smile slowly crept up her lips. She inwardly criticized the latter, ‘That troublesome lunatic.’ Then she said, “Navigator, carry him upstairs. Little Yang, there’s still some dit da jow ¹ at home, right? Bring a bottle over…”

At Lin Jiayi’s instructions, a servant immediately ran off. A moment later, he returned and said, “Young Miss, the dit da jow has run out.”

Shi Yao immediately spoke up, “I’ll go out and get some.”

“That won’t do. It’s already late at night; it won’t be safe…” Lin Jiayi rejected Shi Yao’s proposal without any hesitation.

Xia Shangzhou raised his hand and said, “Big Sis Lin, why don’t I go with Little Junior?”

Lin Jiayi instinctively wanted to reject Xia Shangzhou’s proposal too, but as the words lingered on the tip of her tongue, she suddenly remembered something and nodded. “Alright then. Make sure to protect Yaoyao well.”

After which, Lin Jiayi glanced at the nearby servant and said, “Help him upstairs.”

…

When Shi Yao and Xia Shangzhou were finally out the door, Lin Jiayi took the fresh flowers and accessories that Shi Yao had passed to her and headed upstairs.

At this moment, the servant supporting Lin Jiage up the stairs happened to walk out of the bedroom, and he respectfully addressed her, “Young Miss.”

Lin Jiayi nodded slightly. She waited for the servant to head downstairs before pushing open the door to Lin Jiage’s bedroom and walked in.

She glanced at the groaning Lin Jiage sprawled over the bed, then lifted the bouquet of fresh flowers in her hand and remarked disdainfully, “Lin Jiage, it’s not like you don’t know that I like roses. The more exquisite the bloom, the more I like them. When have I ever been interested in something as simple and bland as these?”

As she spoke, Lin Jiayi placed the bouquet on the table and began opening one of the accessory boxes. “Hm? Why does it have a strawberry? Don’t you know this doesn’t fit my personality at all?”

The more Lin Jiayi spoke, the deeper the disdain on her face. “This bracelet also has one too. The same goes for the earrings and anklet as well…

“Lin Jiage, does your family sell strawberries?”

Lin Jiayi secretly shot a glance at Lin Jiage, and she saw a hint of exasperation and displeasure on the young man’s face.

Lin Jiayi chuckled softly as she placed the items neatly back into their boxes, just as they were when she first took them out. She walked over to the bedside to gaze down at Lin Jiage, who was squeezing a pillow into a deformed shape. She said bluntly, “Alright, there’s no need to put on an act anymore.”

Lin Jiage ignored Lin Jiayi.

Lin Jiayi didn’t get mad. Sitting on the side of the bed, she gleefully said, “Your little act could only fool that dim-witted Navigator and my innocent, beautiful, adorable, obedient Little Yaoyao.

“I bathed you when you were a kid, and I even know how much hair you have from top to bottom! There’s no way that act of yours could fool me!”

“Can you even call that thing you did bathing?!” Unable to take it any longer, Lin Jiage finally snapped.
