Shi Yao pressed her lips together as she pushed the door even harder.
The door didn't budge in the slightest, so she couldn't see what was going on inside. However, through the door, she could hear curses, punches, and kicks coming from the other side … She could even vaguely hear a groan of pain.
Did that sound belong to Lin Jiage? Was he beaten up? Was it serious?
He had to block the door to prevent those people from coming out, and he was alone. How could he possibly defeat them?
Shi Yao knew that the most rational course of action right now was to leave.
However, it was as if someone had pinned her feet to the ground, and she couldn't move at all. She knocked on the door and shouted Lin Jiage's name, hoping that he would respond to her so that she could know whether he was fine or not …
But the person inside didn't respond to her.
This made her even more alarmed and flustered.
She shouted his name until her throat started to hurt. Then, after a few knocks on the door, a small gap finally opened up.
She saw the clean and elegant young man kneeling on the ground. His usually pristine white clothes were stained with footprints, and his beautiful hair was a little disheveled.
Shi Yao opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound despite calling out Lin Jiage's name.
When she was stopped by Qin Yiran and her men, she was clearly afraid. But at this moment, she didn't know where she found the courage to charge at him without any hesitation.
She wanted to ask him if he was in pain and if he was alright.
She wanted to beg Qin Yiran to stop beating him. If she was angry or indignant, she could just come at her.
But before she could say a single word, Lin Jiage had already charged at her like a ferocious beast, shouting, "Get the hell out of here!"
Ignoring his words, she ran up to him in an attempt to protect him.
But a second ago, he had been shouting at her to leave, but at this moment, he had already pulled her into his embrace.
With her in his embrace, he didn't even have the strength to retaliate, but Qin Yiran still refused to let him go.
Protected by him, she couldn't feel any pain or sorrow, but she could still feel the punches and kicks landing on her body.
Those people all drank a little and didn't hold back. Although she couldn't feel it, she knew it must be very painful.
However, he acted as though nothing had happened. His tone of voice was calm and deep that she was familiar with. "Shortie, are you stupid? I told you to run. Why did you come back?"
This was the first time that Shi Yao felt that the word 'shorty' didn't sound so annoying coming from his mouth.
She didn't reply, not knowing how to reply.
He spoke again, "Shortie, what time is it?"
What kind of situation was this? How could he still care about time?
"Forget it, you probably wouldn't know even if I asked you …" He didn't wait for her to speak and continued, "… But, it's definitely not past midnight …"
"Soft Bun, happy birthday."
"Happy birthday, Shi Yao."
Soft Bun, happy birthday, happy birthday, Shi Yao …
In that instant, tears began flowing down Shi Yao's cheeks without any warning.
Even though Qin Yiran couldn't hear their conversation, her eyes couldn't help but redden at the sight of them talking together.
All of a sudden, she lost her rationality. Grabbing a stick from the side, she swung it viciously at Lin Jiage's head —
But before the stick could land on the ground, a sports car with its blinding headlights screeched to a halt at the entrance of the courtyard house.
