“Forget about the two of us.”
Lin Yi sipped his tea and didn’t say anything else.
“Have you set him as your goal to surpass?”
“Not quite. After all these years, I don’t think we have much to talk about.”
Lin Yi’s tone was calm, without revealing much emotion.
His curiosity about matters on the island was solely due to the system.
Because it said that he himself came from that civilization.
Just thinking about a system like that being developed made Lin Yi feel a bit terrified.
It seemed that humans were nothing more than humble mosquitoes in the face of that civilization.
Buzz buzz buzz!
At that moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang.
He picked it up and saw it was a WeChat video from Liang Ruoxu.
Lin Yi’s expression changed for a moment. He hadn’t expected her to send a video call at this time.
“Go ahead and answer. If it’s inconvenient, I can step out.”
“No need, no need. We’re not going to say much.” Lin Yi casually accepted the video call.
On the screen, Liang Ruoxu looked a bit casual, not as meticulously dressed as she usually was at work.
From the surroundings, she seemed to be in a car, with dim streetlights flashing by quickly.
“What are you up to?” Liang Ruoxu asked casually in the video.
“Having dinner.”
Lin Yi then pointed the camera at his plate to show his innocence.
“This doesn’t look like your house. Are you eating out?”
“Smart.”
“Looks like you’re almost done. I’ve arrived in Yanjing. I’ll give you a chance to ask me out tonight.”
“Back in Yanjing?”
“Yeah, I’m almost at the Third Ring Road.”
“Can you wait a bit?”
“Wait a bit?” Liang Ruoxu’s face changed. “Who are you having dinner with? Making me wait.”
Lin Yi, “…”
Shen Shuyi, “…”
“Don’t say that. Watch your words.”
“Fine, fine, go accompany your vixen. I’m heading home.”
“I’m having dinner with your mom.”
“Huh? My mom?”
Lin Yi turned the camera toward Shen Shuyi, showing a face devoid of expression.
Uh…
Liang Ruoxu’s expression froze immediately.
“Mom…”
Shen Shuyi gave her a stern look. “We’re dining at Jiangnan Delicacies. If you haven’t eaten, come join us.”
“Got it.”
Liang Ruoxu awkwardly hung up the video call. The atmosphere in the room felt a bit tense, but it soon returned to normal.
Shen Shuyi just felt slightly embarrassed. How did she end up with a daughter whose brain seemed like mush?
Not long after, Liang Ruoxu came in from outside, smiling.
“Mom, why are you two having dinner together?”
“He’s in Yanjing. Isn’t it normal to have a meal with me?”
Shen Shuyi tidied up her things. “I’m pretty much done. You two continue.”
“Mom, don’t go. I wasn’t trying to kick you out.”
“I don’t want to be a third wheel. Your dad’s waiting for me at home.”
Shen Shuyi didn’t linger long. If she didn’t have something to discuss with Lin Yi, she probably wouldn’t have even waited for Liang Ruoxu to arrive before leaving.
After Shen Shuyi left, Liang Ruoxu sat down next to Lin Yi and pinched the soft flesh on his waist.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were having dinner with my mom? I’m so embarrassed.”
“I didn’t know you’d suddenly return to Yanjing,” Lin Yi said helplessly.
“Great, now my mom knows I’m back. I have to go home tonight.”
“Huh? You had other plans?”
Lin Yi smiled slyly. “That’s easy to solve. I’ll just tell her you went back to Zhonghai, and then you can do whatever you want.”
“Stop messing around. If my dad finds out I didn’t go home tonight, he’ll probably break my legs.” Liang Ruoxu said angrily.
“All your fault.”
“Fine, fine, it’s all my fault.” Lin Yi didn’t argue further. “You haven’t eaten yet, right? There’s plenty left. Just have something quick.”
Liang Ruoxu nodded, not minding too much.
People like her, who grew up in military families, were much more resilient than the average rich second generation.
If it were someone like Qin Han, he would have already asked for a fresh meal to be made.
“So, why did you come back?”
“Work, and since you’re also in Yanjing, I thought I’d drop by.” Liang Ruoxu said while eating.
“Is the case with Wei Jianlong resolved? Why haven’t you gone back yet? Something going on with the Central Guards Brigade?”
Lin Yi nodded. “I’m leaving tomorrow afternoon, heading to Lundun.”
Liang Ruoxu paused and asked instinctively.
“A mission for the Central Guards Brigade? Is it dangerous?”
“Don’t worry, there’s no danger at all.”
“That’s good.” Liang Ruoxu said. “Oh, by the way, book two movie tickets. We’ll watch a movie tonight, and then I have to go home.”
“Time is tight, and there’s a lot to do. Why watch a movie? Shouldn’t we be doing something more productive?”
“More productive? Like what?”
“Stop eating. Big bro will take you to relive old memories.”
“Relive old memories?” Liang Ruoxu was puzzled. “What memories? I think you just want to take me to a hotel.”
“The dressing room works too.”
“Get lost, I’m not going. I’m heading home tonight.”
Lin Yi waved his phone in front of her. “I already told Aunt Shen. You’re not going home tonight.”
“Screw you, I’ll kill you!”
Liang Ruoxu cursed. “Are you trying to ruin me?”
“Keeping secrets just makes things complicated.” Lin Yi said.
“Fooling Uncle Liang is one thing, but doing it in front of your mom? That’s just trying too hard. She already sees right through it, so let’s not pretend anymore.”
Liang Ruoxu pouted. Her mom was not so easy to fool.
“Let me tell you, just this once. If you pull this again, I’ll strangle you.”
“Then stop eating. Let’s head to the hotel. I’ll feed you something better.”
“Pervert.”
Lin Yi took Liang Ruoxu to a hotel.
Then came a wave of passion, which lasted until after 2 a.m.
The next morning, Lin Yi slept until after 8, while Liang Ruoxu showed no signs of getting up.
Knowing her habit of sleeping in, Lin Yi didn’t bother her and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
Just after brushing his teeth, he received a call from Qiu Yuluo.
“Are you ready? We’re meeting at the airport at 11 a.m. No issues, right?”
“OK.”
After a brief exchange, Lin Yi checked the time. Leaving at 10 should be fine, so he had about an hour left.
After finishing up in the bathroom, Lin Yi returned to the bedroom.
He patted Liang Ruoxu on the butt. “It’s almost 10. You should get up. I have to leave soon.”
“You go ahead. Don’t worry about me.”
Liang Ruoxu rolled over, showing no interest in getting up.
Lin Yi sighed. Was she part pig?
She was nothing like Aunt Shen. It looked like if he ever had kids with her, they should have a daughter who would be more like him.
