Chapter 165: Chapter 139: It’s… Me Taken Down by Fu Yisi

Lin Jiao finished speaking, and this time she didn’t reach for Ji Sang’s hand but lightly patted her on the shoulder.

“You need to recover quickly, otherwise Fu Yisi, the wife slave, will stick to you every day.”

Ji Sang looked up at Fu Yisi before asking,

“What were you all chatting about just now?”

She was standing far away and hadn’t heard clearly.

Lin Jiao waved her hand,

“Nothing, they were just talking nonsense.”

Yan Jin, who was walking towards them, paused when he heard what she said, and frowned as he looked toward the woman chatting and laughing with them.

As Yan Jin approached Lin Jiao, the smile on her face suddenly turned cold. Yan Jin’s frown deepened.

Between them, she had always been the initiator, and although she’d been teased about it before, she would acknowledge it every time with a silent smile.

But today, in front of his closest siblings, she denied it.

Even Yan Jin, who could be rather obtuse, realized that something was off.

He had always been cautious about acknowledging his feelings due to the nature of his job and hesitant to accept Lin Jiao’s feelings.

It was only seeing Fourth being so attentive to Ji Sang that he had gathered the courage to be honest.

But now, something different was starting to appear with Lin Jiao.

Yan Jin suddenly felt anxious, his posture stiffened, his expression, usually stern, now looked even more fierce.

The atmosphere suddenly felt discordant, interrupting the ongoing conversation.

Ji Sang, who was particularly sensitive to changes in people’s moods, immediately sensed that something was amiss between the two.

It was fine just this morning, how could it have changed so drastically in one day?

Ji Sang subtly gestured as she patted Fu Yisi’s waist, the man expressionless as he held her hand tightly in his palm with a grip slightly too strong.

Hadn’t he reminded her numerous times? Men’s waists should not be touched or pinched.

Why couldn’t she remember that?

Ji Sang hadn’t thought much about it and blinked a few times.

Fu Yisi, managing to maintain his composure, let go of her hand and walked over to Yan Jin, giving him a pat on the back.

“Let’s talk over there.”

…

As the two men left, Lin Jiao pulled Ji Sang into the tent. She wasn’t foolish; she saw all the little movements between Ji Sang and Fu Yisi and knew they wanted to help her and Yan Jin.

“Have you and Big Brother… had a quarrel?”

Ji Sang asked cautiously.

She wasn’t very familiar with Lin Jiao, and it was a personal matter between them.

Lin Jiao chuckled,

“No fight.”

“No fight?”

Ji Sang frowned, their behavior didn’t seem to match that. Especially Lin Jiao’s attitude, compared to this morning, was completely different.

“So did Big Brother make you angry?”

“Not that either,”

Lin Jiao shook her head,

“I don’t know how to say it, he didn’t do anything to upset me today, I just came to a realization on my own.”

Lin Jiao’s words were vague, leading Ji Sang to mistakenly think she was considering giving up, just as a hint of worry started to show in her eyes, Lin Jiao suddenly kicked the table,

“…….”

Ji Sang: ??????

“It’s always been me chasing after him, accommodating him. For years he’s been the most stubborn rock in the cesspit, unenlightened, really thinking I can’t live without him? Talking about going back to S city for a day, why should I?”

Ji Sang: ?????????

Lin Jiao drank half a glass of water and continued to vent about the inhuman things Yan Jin had done over the years. She didn’t even know what had gotten into her. This morning, when she had heard what Yan Jin had said, she felt so happy, so blissful.

It was as if her years of persistence were finally going to bear fruit.

Yet, seeing Ji Sang freely make subtle gestures in front of a stoic person like Fu Yisi, and even get responses, she felt somewhat imbalanced.

If it was that easy for her to be with Yan Jin, she always felt she was getting too much of a bargain with that hard rock.

“You tell me, Yan Jin just casually saved my life once, and I’ve spent nearly a decade of my youth on him.”

“All these years, it’s been me following his steps, for every hundred steps, I walked at least ninety-nine and a half.”

“Even if I love him, he should give me some sweetness, right? Every time it’s like eating Enoki mushrooms, stuck in my throat, neither up nor down.”

“I’ve been dangling this long, I’m not in a rush.”

“I need to give him a sense of crisis, otherwise, it’s always me chasing, I’ll die of exhaustion.”

At this point, Lin Jiao let out a cold snort and finished the rest of her water.

“I need to give him a taste of his own medicine, let him feel the urgency, what do you think?”

Ji Sang: …

What could she think?

She really didn’t understand matters of the heart, her current mutual affection with Fu Yisi was totally thanks to Fu Yisi always leading her, with Su Ge constantly encouraging her.

“Cough, if you… think it makes you happy, then good.”

Listening to all this, it seems like Big Brother… is indeed a bit too much to Lin Jiao.

Love is a matter between two people, both need to rush towards each other to prevent either from getting too tired.

Hearing Ji Sang’s response, Lin Jiao contentedly squinted her eyes.

“I knew it, we definitely get along, I have some questions to ask your advice on.”

“Hmm?”

Lin Jiao moved her chair next to Ji Sang and leaned in, whispering in her ear,

“How did you manage to win over such a tough person like Fu Yisi? Teach me.”

Ji Sang, still not quite comfortable with someone being so close, subtly shifted her head and raised her hand to scratch her hair.

“Um… it seems like it was Fu Yisi who won me over.”

Lin Jiao: …

Can’t talk anymore.

Really can’t talk anymore.

How can we even talk about this?

It’s simply infuriating to compare!

She had never imagined that between Ji Sang and Fu Yisi, it was Fu Yisi who fell first!

…

On the other side, although Fu Yisi called Yan Jin over, he didn’t speak.

Honestly, he didn’t really want to meddle in matters of the heart, he had just managed to make Ji Sang fall for him, and he had no extra energy to deal with someone else’s issues.

Even if that person was Yan Jin.

However, now, it was Yan Jin who couldn’t sit still.

Lin Jiao’s sudden change really caught him off guard, not knowing what to do.

He told Fu Yisi everything he had said to Lin Jiao that morning.

“I know I’ve wronged her all these years, and I was planning to settle things this time when I return.”

Fu Yisi, amused, raised an eyebrow at him,

“What are you planning to talk about? Open up, admit your feelings for her, and then get together?”

Yan Jin: …

“Isn’t that right?”

Fu Yisi clicked his tongue, suddenly understanding what Lin Jiao wanted. And knowing her stubborn nature, she was likely not going to let Big Brother succeed so easily.

Fu Yisi turned his head towards the direction of the tent, as if they had just finished talking, Ji Sang walked out alone.

“How long do you need to prepare for a live combat exercise?”

“The preparations start a month ahead, and the three days prior are spent day and night preparing defensive and offensive strategies.”

“Hmm, love is also a battle, Big Brother, you’ve been too lazy before.”

So, the only one suffering now will be him.

Having said that, Fu Yisi didn’t care whether Yan Jin understood or not, he took a stride and followed right behind Ji Sang.
