Lin Jiage: "Then I'll beat you up until you can't sit still!"
Amidst Lu Benlai's mocking laughter, Xia Shangzhou spoke up pitifully, "Boss, you can't do this to me! Little Junior isn't under my control! If she doesn't sit still, there's no use beating me to death! Besides, I'm just saying 'what if'! What if you lose the bet? "
Compared to Xia Shangzhou, Lu Benlai had always been more determined to live. "What 'what if'? Boss is so outstanding, how could he possibly lose? He'll definitely win! "
Hearing Lu Benlai's words, Xia Shangzhou finally recovered from his daze. He was just about to hug Lu Benlai's thigh, but before he could say a word, Lin Jiage had already spoken up, "Do you think that winning or losing is important to me?"
Xia Shangzhou was taken aback by Lin Jiage's question.
A moment later, Lin Jiage spoke up once more, "Even if I lose, it's still a win to me."
There could only be two possible outcomes to this gamble.
First: His bold guess was right. She liked him and got together with him. As a result, he would be happy, and she would be happy.
The second one: His bold guess was just his wishful thinking. In the end, she still didn't like him. But even so, at most, he would be sad, but she would still be happy to be able to live the life she wanted to live.
Thus, winning or losing this gamble really didn't matter to him. Regardless of whether he won or lost, she would still be happy … At least, he wouldn't have any regrets.
In the end, Lu Benlai reacted faster than Xia Shangzhou, "What will you do if you really lose?"
What would he do if he really lost?
Lin Jiage didn't respond to Lu Benlai's question. Instead, he silently tightened his grip around the mineral water bottle in his hand.
If he really lost … what would he do? He didn't know. He had never thought about himself, only her … But there was one thing he was certain of — if he really lost, he would accompany her silently … He still had the identity of [111111]. Just like that time at the clubhouse, when they parted on bad terms, when he realized that he had wronged her, he could use this identity to quietly protect her …
Even if he couldn't accompany her till they grew old, he could at least protect her for the rest of her life.
Actually, this was enough, wasn't it?
But, there is something that he said wrong on the mountain top. He said, Yao Yao, I like you, actually it should be, Yao Yao, I love you …
…
This time, Lin Jiage's actions were far faster than when he had announced the 'annulment of the engagement' to Shi Yao at the clubhouse.
Early the next morning, Shi Yao received quite a few calls. Some were from Grandpa Lin, some were from her parents … In any case, regardless of who it was, the first thing they asked her was: What's going on between her and Lin Jiage? Why did Lin Jiage suddenly say that he wanted to call off the engagement?
Shi Yao sent Lin Jiage a message asking him if he had come clean with his family.
Lin Jiage only replied to her two messages.
The first one was, "Yes."
The second message was, "Did they look for you?"
Shi Yao honestly told Lin Jiage about the phone call between Grandpa Lin and her parents, and after that, Lin Jiage stopped replying to her messages.
Speaking of which, it was rather strange. Other than the first day when Grandpa Lin had called her a few times, no one from the Lin Family other than her parents had come looking for her.
