Green Tea? She's Clearly a Hidden Gem!

After calming down the strangely agitated Haji Yao, Jiang Linyuan turned around and announced the three-person outing plan.

His sister needed comforting, and the Thief Saint needed comforting too.

When Haji Yao was upset, he could clown around to cheer her up.

But if the Thief Saint got mad, he'd better actually deliver.

"Wanna hang out this weekend?"

Jiang Linyuan asked casually.

"Going out with that Yu Songsong?"

Jiang Zhiyao let out a cold laugh.

"As expected of my sister, so smart!"

Jiang Linyuan gave her a thumbs up. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Do you think I want your praise?"

Jiang Zhiyao smacked his arm and said:

"She's chasing you, can't you just reject her harshly? Block her contacts and everything, wouldn't that free you up?"

In a way, Haji Yao was absolutely right.

One clean cut opens the path of life and death, both feet stepping into the grave of a coffin.

His days would be incredibly peaceful, only getting lively during holidays.

"Junior Songsong is way more persistent than you think."

Jiang Linyuan tried to defend himself.

"Then let me handle it for you?"

Jiang Zhiyao looked at him and said:

"If you just nod, I don't mind playing the villain."

You think you can take on the Thief Saint? She'd cut you down in no time.

Besides, if it really came to chasing off the Thief Saint, it wouldn't be up to a small fry like you.

If it ever came to that, I've got General Xiao Su on my side, ready to slay the Thief Saint!

"No need, I've got a plan. Just watch and see."

Jiang Linyuan smiled.

"I hope you really do have a plan."

Jiang Zhiyao stared at him for a moment before snorting and slowly saying:

"Call me when it's time."

Good sister, I owe you one. Working with someone strong, you've earned my respect.

They chatted a bit more before parting ways.

Jiang Linyuan sent the Thief Saint an invitation for the three-person outing.

The Thief Saint happily agreed.

"Going out with my senior and his sister? Sure, sounds great!"

In her dorm, Yu Songsong was thrilled, immediately sitting up straight and eagerly asking into the phone:

"I'll prepare seriously for this date!"

"It's not a date. What kind of date brings along a sister?"

Jiang Linyuan retorted.

"Mm, then it's meeting the family. I'll have to prepare even more carefully!"

Yu Songsong still refused to listen, muttering to herself.

Jiang Linyuan didn't know what else to say, so he hung up.

Putting down her phone, Yu Songsong's lips curled into a smile, the excitement on her face gradually fading.

The senior had finally made a concession.

Bringing along a sister-in-law who didn't have a good impression of her was probably meant to dampen her enthusiasm.

How cute, senior, going through all this trouble for me.

You're not truly cold-hearted after all. As long as there's even a tiny crack, I won't let it go.

She wasn't afraid of rejection. What she feared was that Jiang Linyuan's eyes held no trace of her at all.

If it ever came to that, she'd have no choice but to take the senior with her.

But for now, this was enough.

If the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain.

...

Weekend, at the school gate.

Jiang Linyuan and Jiang Zhiyao walked side by side. When Yu Songsong, who was waiting, spotted them, she waved and ran over, her face full of joy.

"Hello, senior. Hello, senior's sister."

Today, Yu Songsong was wearing a down jacket, hiding her explosive assets.

Jiang Zhiyao glanced at her and responded politely.

Jiang Linyuan gave a simple reply.

The three of them walked out of the school gate.

Maybe because she felt like she'd been dragged along as a third wheel, Jiang Zhiyao seemed a bit down, her mind wandering elsewhere.

Yu Songsong, on the other hand, was incredibly excited, her cheeks flushed as she looked at Jiang Linyuan:

"Senior, are your hands cold?"

"Not really."

The temperature wasn't too low today, and there was even some sunshine. It was a good day.

"Let me warm them up for you, senior."

Yu Songsong suddenly said this. Glancing at Jiang Zhiyao walking ahead, she unzipped her down jacket and wrapped Jiang Linyuan's hand inside.

Holy crap! What kind of play is this?!

"What are you doing?! My sister's right there in front!"

Feeling the warm, soft sensation against his arm, Jiang Linyuan hissed in a low voice.

It jiggled and bounced, soft and pillowy, like it could melt his bones to butter.

The harder he tried to pull his hand out, the more vigorously it jiggled inside.

Yu Songsong's face was flushed, her hands gripping the jacket tightly:

"Senior, do you like it? I'm wearing a fitted base layer underneath."

It's not about liking or not! Let go first!

Jiang Linyuan stared at the distracted Jiang Zhiyao ahead, frantically trying to yank his hand out.

But with that movement, Yu Songsong's face grew even redder. She let out a soft moan, her eyes looking moist as she stared at him and said coyly:

"Senior, you're so naughty."

You think I'm flirting with you?! Let go of my hand! If Haji Yao sees this, I'll be a pervert in her eyes forever!

"What are you two doing back there?"

Jiang Zhiyao suddenly turned around.

"Nothing, just chatting with the senior."

Yu Songsong said with a smile.

Jiang Linyuan pulled his hand back and shoved it into his pocket.

Good thing the Thief Saint reacted fast. No wait! She started this whole thing!

Using her big boobs to bully me! I'll remember this grudge!

"Aren't you cold leaving your jacket unzipped?"

Jiang Zhiyao noticed Yu Songsong clutching the sides of her down jacket together but not zipping it up.

What a weird person, can't tell if she's hot or cold?

"Mm."

Yu Songsong blushed, nodded, and zipped up her jacket, sneaking a glance at Jiang Linyuan.

What are you looking at! You little pervert!

Jiang Linyuan glared back.

"You, come walk next to me."

Jiang Zhiyao felt something was off between them and pulled Jiang Linyuan over.

As soon as she got close, she frowned:

"Did you put on cologne?"

I got sprayed by water!

Jiang Linyuan forced a smile:

"I never wear cologne. Maybe it's the new shampoo?"

Jiang Zhiyao felt something was wrong. She glanced at Yu Songsong, who was smiling innocently, looking perfectly normal.

"What kind of shampoo? It doesn't smell good. Next time, use the one I gave you."

Jiang Linyuan's mouth twitched.

No thanks. That shampoo wouldn't last long, and I don't want my legs broken.

Besides, yours might be a real menace.

Yu Songsong, seeing that Jiang Zhiyao hadn't noticed anything, breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a secret thrill.

Not long after the three of them left the school gate, they saw a large crowd gathered ahead.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Linyuan asked casually.

What's happening? A crowd at the school gate? Where are the security guards? Someone save us.

"Oh, they're checking out a fancy car."

A bystander replied, pointing to the center of the crowd where a luxurious sports car was parked.

Jiang Linyuan didn't recognize the brand, had no idea how much it cost, so he just asked:

"Why's it blocking the road here?"

"Probably trying to get into the school but can't. They're going through the registration process."

Someone said.

Xingnan security, tough! They'd even stop a car like that.

"Why can't I go in? Is it that complicated? What registration do you need?"

A woman in sunglasses was speaking impatiently to the security guard. She was probably the owner.

"We're just following procedure. Please understand. It won't take long."

The guard could only force a smile.

The woman clicked her tongue, picked up a pen, left her phone number and name, then looked up and turned to go back to her car.

Just then, she locked eyes with Jiang Linyuan.

"What a coincidence. I guess I don't need to go in after all."

The woman lowered her sunglasses and walked toward him.

"Remember me? We met at the banquet in Shanghai. My name is Qian Yan. And you're Jiang Linyuan, right?"
