” Pui pui pui ! Old Master, how can you speak such inauspicious words?”
Facing Auntie Sun’s criticism, Grandpa Lin didn’t fly into a rage. Instead, he clutched his chest and feigned a look of pain, “Look at this. Don’t I look like I’m very ill…?
“… Auntie Sun, you were rather smart to call just those two last night. The others are busy, and it would be best not to bother them whenever possible. Otherwise, I’d have to go through the trouble of faking it when they come to the hospital as well…”
Grandpa Lin continued muttering for some time, but after seeing Auntie Sun ignoring him entirely as she tidied up with a vexed expression, he chose to stop speaking.
Lying on the bed, he sipped on the goji tea which Auntie Sun had passed over earlier. A mystified look crossed his face, and he spoke up once more, “Say, it’s been so many years since that brat last kicked up a fuss over marrying Yaoyao, so why would he start something now?
“Yaoyao is such a good child, where else would he find another lady like her? Why won’t he just appreciate what he has?

“This won’t do, I have to find a solution. Staying in the hospital won’t work in the long-term. Should I go and hide in Hainan?”
…
Actually, it wasn’t like she’d said something wrong. Why did he suddenly get so irritated?
Besides, that was his family’s car. She was offering it to him, so why was he in such a hurry to walk away…?
Sitting at the back of a taxi, Lin Jiage recalled what Shi Yao had said to him back at the hospital, and an involuntary frown creased his forehead.
He solemnly mulled over the reason for some time, but the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. Eventually, he decided to just close his eyes and get some sleep since he hadn’t slept for the entire night anyway.
The condition on the road wasn’t too good. It was slightly congested.
The taxi moved and stopped intermittently, and the shaking kept Lin Jiage from falling asleep.
Some distance later, he slowly opened his eyes and gazed at the brilliant sunlight outside the window. A memory suddenly flashed across his mind—the beautiful smile that she’d given his grandfather back at the hospital…
What a youthful and lovely portrait it was…
This pleasant thought remained in Lin Jiage’s mind for just a few seconds before he suddenly recalled her angry words back at the little forest on the campus.
— or else you might starve to death!
He’d heard all kinds of criticisms and curses, but this line sure was refreshingly unique…

Heh, meaningless?
Lin Jiage thought mockingly as he took out his phone and tapped into Xia Shangzhou’s WeChat. [Why is someone else telling me that I have a girlfriend?]
They were both from the same university, so for her to say such words, she must have heard some kind of rumor.
Xia Shangzhou instantly replied: [Boss, I don’t know.]
Lin Jiage was thinking ‘ Are you sure? ‘ on the inside, but he lazily tapped once on the screen and sent a [?] over.
Xia Shangzhou immediately deleted his previous ‘Boss, I don’t know’ message and sent a new one over: [Boss, give me a moment. I’ll help you look into this asap!]
