Chapter 217: Lin Zhu’s Plan |
“Brother Jiang, are you really just going to stand here and watch your girlfriend and Linlin talk together?”
Lin Zhu looked at Lin Yilin and Su Muzhi strolling on the beach not far away and spoke.
Miss Su had deep skills—she handled her easily—wouldn’t Linlin get bullied badly by her?
Tsk, this Brother Jiang was really just forgetting his roots once he got what he wanted! Linlin had treated him well enough! If you couldn’t be lovers, couldn’t you still be friends?
“It’s fine.”
Jiang Linyuan crouched on the sand, watching the waves crash against the rocks.
Xiao Su was an angel, light itself. Standing by her side, he’d only turn into a burden.
So he’d better stay out of their conversation.
You say it’s fine, so it’s fine? Why can’t you listen to others? Only listening to her, right?
Linlin, big sister is here to help you!
“Sister Bamboo, let the two of them talk alone. Don’t go causing trouble.”
Jiang Linyuan said.
Hearing this, Lin Zhu looked at him in surprise and asked:
“Brother Jiang, can you give me a straight answer? What do you really think about Linlin?”
“I don’t want our relationship to become strained because of romantic entanglements.”
Becoming closer because of romantic entanglements was fine.
“Ah, so you really don’t like Linlin?”
Hearing this, Lin Zhu felt she understood Jiang Linyuan’s meaning.
They were friends, but he didn’t want love to ruin their friendship.
“Sister Bamboo, I’ll handle these matters myself. Don’t worry about things here.”
Jiang Linyuan pointed at Zhang Juntang, who was off to the side clicking photos of Lin Lan with her camera:
“Go keep them company and take some pictures.”
Lin Zhu squinted her eyes and looked at Zhang Juntang, then asked in a probing tone:
“That Zhang Juntang, she’s single too, right?”
“Probably.”
Jiang Linyuan glanced at her. What was she up to?
Why was she asking about someone else’s romantic situation?
Lin Zhu smiled faintly.
At this point, she finally realized she’d been blind.
She had a thing for Brother Jiang—why not stir the pot?
Haha, that’s right, Miss Su had indeed outmaneuvered her, but…
What about Zhang Juntang? Get her to make a move, have her clash with Miss Su, and let Linlin fish in troubled waters!
I’m a genius!
“Brother Jiang, aren’t you going to get a picture taken? You’re so photogenic?”
Lin Zhu asked with a smile.
“I’ll go later.”
Jiang Linyuan watched Lin Yilin and Su Muzhi not far away, ignoring her.
Forget it, she couldn’t get him—time to push Little Sister Zhang to be more proactive.
Thinking this, Lin Zhu walked directly over to Zhang Juntang, patted her on the shoulder, and asked with a sweet smile:
“Little sister Juntang, don’t you want to take some pictures of your Senior Jiang?”
Just now… she had secretly taken a few shots… had she been caught?
Zhang Juntang’s heart pounded wildly. She looked at Lin Zhu and said:
“I don’t have a problem with that.”
Hmph, I knew you were up to no good!
“But wait a bit… for now… Senior isn’t mine yet… hehe…”
“?”
“No—I meant he’s not my model yet!”
Noticing Lin Zhu’s stunned expression, Zhang Juntang blushed and quickly added.
This girl… something’s off.
Lin Zhu looked at Zhang Juntang, a bit baffled.
She’d thought Little Sister Zhang was a conservative type, but apparently, she was more like Louis XVI—not conservative at all.
…
“Did you not understand what I meant? What I’m saying is, Jiang Linyuan has a place in his heart for you.”
“So, Senior Su, you mean your boyfriend has another girl in his heart, and you, as his official girlfriend, have to explain to the object of his affair that he loves you?”
Damn! Senior Su! Damn!
You’re treating me like a kid! If I nodded, you’d definitely use that to make sure Senior never contacts me again!
Lin Yilin looked at Su Muzhi and shook her head like a rattle-drum:
“Senior doesn’t have me in his heart. Senior doesn’t like me. It’s me who likes Senior.”
Su Muzhi smiled—out of anger.
She’d never noticed this Xiao Yilin could be so infuriating.
“I’m telling you, he likes you, got it? Why don’t you try confessing? Say, ‘I want to be your girlfriend,’ and guess what he’ll do?”
“…He’d definitely say no.”
“No, he’d say yes.”
Su Muzhi replied with a smile.
That was too absolute. If it were Jiang Linyuan, he’d be more vague.
Lin Yilin looked at Su Muzhi, her face reddening, and asked tentatively:
“A… a mission from the master?”
“Hehe…”
Su Muzhi smiled without warmth and looked at Lin Yilin, retorting:
“Do you want in?”
“No, no… I’ll pass.”
Lin Yilin said this, her face growing even redder.
Wow, Senior Su and Senior play such wild games.
“Then I’ll go find someone else.”
Su Muzhi looked at her like this and was honestly irritated.
It was like seeing a puppy staring at the meat in your bowl with big, pleading eyes.
You tell it to come get it if it wants, but it doesn’t dare, thinking you’re just setting a trap.
Did she really have to shove the meat into its mouth? Even she wasn’t that generous!
“Senior Jiang… doesn’t have a problem with it?”
Lin Yilin glanced at Jiang Linyuan, who was crouching in the distance, and asked.
“Hehe, he plays way wilder than I do. When he’s in bed…”
Lin Yilin listened to Su Muzhi’s words and couldn’t help but imagine it. Her face turned bright red. What was going on? Senior… had that much of a contrast?
“What, you want to see?”
Su Muzhi looked at Lin Yilin like this and asked with a cold laugh.
“No!! Not at all!”
Lin Yilin waved her hands frantically, panicking.
“Fine, just stay as you are.”
Su Muzhi felt there was nothing more to say.
This was fine too. Just stand by and watch from the sidelines.
I’d bet that even if the meat jumped into your mouth, you’d spit it back out to me.
Lin Yilin was sulky. What did she mean, “stay as you are”? Senior Su sounded so unsatisfied.
She hadn’t done anything wrong.
“Done talking?”
Jiang Linyuan walked over when he saw they’d stopped.
“Hehe, all done.”
Su Muzhi looked at Lin Yilin, then turned to Jiang Linyuan and kissed him square on the lips.
Lin Yilin’s jaw dropped.
“Xiao Su, what are you doing?”
Jiang Linyuan patted Su Muzhi on the back.
“Kissing my boyfriend.”
Su Muzhi looked at the stunned Lin Yilin and said with a smile.
Watching this scene, Lin Yilin felt a mess of emotions.
She knew Senior and Senior Su were a couple, but… seeing them do that right in front of her—it stung. It hurt.
“Oh, by the way, Xiao Yilin, there’s something I haven’t told you.”
Su Muzhi looked at Lin Yilin and said with a sweet smile:
“Actually, strictly speaking, Jiang-classmate and I aren’t really boyfriend and girlfriend. We’re just in the ambiguous stage.”
“Xiao Su…”
“Shut up!”
Su Muzhi covered Jiang Linyuan’s mouth and looked at Lin Yilin again:
“Hehe, so, do you get it now?”
If you make a move, I’ll finally let out all this pent-up frustration.
Hehe, thinking you’re amusing and not caring at all are two different things. I’ve been uncomfortable for a long time.
Here’s a chance—fight me, and I’ll teach you a lesson, so you’ll never dare to have this thought again.
You think you’re special? Aren’t I?
Jiang Linyuan, you want to build a harem, don’t you?
Then handle these relationships well. Let’s see what you do!
If you manage it, that’s your skill.
