Volume 3 Chapter 63: Let’s Have Some Breakfast
“Anyway, don’t believe it, don’t believe it. If I had that kind of time, I would definitely use it to have fun instead. Yep, that’s it!”
Lin Lin said this with a guilty tone, but her explanation sounded reasonable enough to Gao Liang.
He nodded, then pointed at the soup dumplings on the table and tilted his head.
“Alright then… let’s eat some breakfast?”
“Mm…”
The girl looked at the dumplings and swallowed. She was… a little hungry.
But eating breakfast together with her rival…
Ah, forget it. They had already done so many things together. Eating breakfast was really nothing compared to that…
“Mainly because I didn’t eat much last night.”
The two of them sat across from each other and ate quietly. Compared to Gao Liang, who ate in a calm and polite way, Lin Lin looked more playful. While eating dumplings, she used her other hand to scroll on her phone.
After a while, she suddenly saw a message notification.
Gao… Gao Ye?
Lin Lin nervously looked up at the “little devil’s” older brother in front of her. After watching him for a moment and seeing nothing strange, she lowered her head again and stared at Gao Ye’s profile picture on the screen, thinking.
What does she want now?
To be safe, before opening the message, Lin Lin casually asked,
“By the way, why has your sister been so quiet lately? She seems very silent.”
“Hm? Quiet?” Gao Liang gave a bitter smile, then lowered his voice. “Last night, when I called your brother, she was the one who answered the phone.”
“Who?!”
Lin Lin almost dropped her chopsticks on the spot. Gao Liang seemed to expect her reaction. He calmly took a sip of tea and said,
“Gao Ye…”
“She…” Lin Lin almost choked in shock. So their relationship really wasn’t normal!
If Gao Ye answered the call made to Lin Yu, that could only mean they were together at that time.
They were already so close that she answered his phone. This… this development speed…
Wasn’t it too fast?
Lin Lin looked down at her phone again. At this moment, she couldn’t help but feel that Gao Ye’s message might be to show off that she had already “won over” her younger brother.
How was she supposed to accept that?
It wasn’t that she was overly attached to her brother. It was just that the younger brother she had watched grow up was suddenly taken away by that “little devil.” It gave her a strange feeling of loss and sadness.
“I knew something was going on between them!”
She slapped her forehead and said seriously, “I could already tell before! They were hugging and acting close. I didn’t expect this… They’ve only known each other for a short time, and they’re already being so close?”
Uh…
Seeing how angry she was, Gao Liang quickly waved his hands to explain for them.
“Ahem, calm down first, Lin Lin. Actually, when Gao Ye answered the phone last night, she was at your house.”
“M-my house?”
Lin Lin’s mouth twitched.
Isn’t that even worse? He already brought a girl home?!
This…
This kind of relationship!
How far have they gone already?!
Wait, last night, her parents should have been at home, right?
Hiss—
Did he bring her home and introduce her in person?
That’s scary!
No, no, that can’t be right. Lin Yu shouldn’t have that kind of courage, right?
Could it be… he brought her home earlier, but then their parents suddenly came back early? In panic, Lin Yu quickly pushed Gao Ye into the closet to hide?
Then Lin Yu was called away by their parents, leaving Gao Ye hiding inside the closet, shaking in fear. After waiting for a long time with no one coming back, and unable to open the door, she got more and more nervous, so she quickly sent a message?
Ahhh, this guess was starting to feel like a horror movie. Lin Lin quickly picked up her phone to check whether the message was sent last night or this morning.
Just then, Gao Liang added, “And she said she went to your house to visit Lin Yu because he was sick.”
“Ah… oh.”
Lin Lin was silent for a moment, then finally reacted. Right… her brother had been injured these past few days and hadn’t even gotten out of bed much. He usually just lay there. He… he couldn’t possibly bring someone home like that.
“Don’t pause like that when you talk! I—I have a very strong imagination, okay!”
Out of embarrassment, Lin Lin blamed Gao Liang. He went silent. He had just swallowed a dumpling. How could he know what she was imagining?
“It’s fine. She was just visiting him. Speaking of that, maybe I should also go visit Lin Yu?”
Gao Liang asked Lin Lin, as Lin Yu’s older sister. But Lin Lin waved her hand and said,
“He’s almost better. It’s not a big problem anymore. Hmph… he’s almost fine, and I still haven’t gotten revenge for him. That’s… that’s too bad.”
She lowered her head and felt upset for a short while, secretly deciding to act faster. But soon, she turned her attention back to Lin Yu and Gao Ye.
“Even so, I still think it’s strange. They’re not that close, and suddenly she’s visiting him like this. It’s almost like she’s his girlfriend. There must be something going on! Usually, only couples or people in a very close relationship would do that, right? Who would visit a normal friend of the opposite sex when they’re sick? Like… for example…”
Lin Lin looked at Gao Liang in front of her. She pointed at him, then at herself.
“For example… ahem, Gao Liang, if I got sick, would you come visit me?”
“Uh… of course I would!”
Gao Liang nodded firmly.
Lin Lin’s face instantly turned red.
This guy… why doesn’t he follow the script?!
After a moment, she pointed at herself again and said loudly,
“Listen carefully! I mean, if I—Lin Lin—just your normal friend of the opposite sex, got sick, would you come visit me? Not a girlfriend or someone you’re close with!”
“As long as it’s you, Lin Lin, I would definitely go.”
Gao Liang smiled and gave the same answer.
Mm…
This guy!
He must be doing this on purpose!
Embarrassed, Lin Lin turned her head away. After a moment, she comforted herself in her heart.
Well… maybe rivals also like to visit each other when sick. After all, they can see the other person suffering in person… and secretly enjoy it.
“Anyway, Gao Ye isn’t that simple. Even if something is really going on between them, it’s fine. At least they’re not bothering me. Whatever happens, happens.”
Gao Liang spoke calmly, as if he had already accepted it.
