The Beautiful Time With You

If this was before, as long as Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou rephrased their words immediately, Lin Jiage’s expression would immediately relax.

But this time, despite Xia Shangzhou’s swift reaction, Lin Jiage’s frown still firmly persisted on his forehead.

Sensing that something was wrong, Lu Benlai quickly took up his book and flipped it open, and then lay back in bed, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll just go back to reading my book…”

On the other hand, Xia Shangzhou chose not to be like Lu Benlai and run away. Instead, standing resolutely on the spot, he stared at Lin Jiage intently for a moment before asking warily, “Boss, you aren’t going to snatch Sis Yao from me, are you?”

It was impossible to tell what was going on through Lin Jiage’s mind, but after Xia Shangzhou said those words, he suddenly strode over to the door to switch off the lights. With a particularly irritated “Goodnight”, he climbed onto his bed, pulled his blanket over his head, and stayed motionless.

In an instant, the dormitory room was plunged into silent darkness.

Having yet to receive a response, Xia Shangzhou was unwilling to let the matter slip just like that. He was about to approach Lin Jiage to continue their discussion, but barely after the word “Boss” slipped out from his mouth, Lu Benlai had already grabbed his hand.

Xia Shangzhou instinctively turned over to ask Lu Benlai what he was up to.

And on the other end, Lu Benlai seemed to know what Xia Shangzhou was going to do as well, and he forcefully tugged the latter onto his bed and muffled his mouth.

Completely paying no heed to the struggling Xia Shangzhou, Lu Benlai reached out for his phone, typed out a line of words, and flashed it to Xia Shangzhou:[Are you dumb? Can’t you tell that Boss isn’t in the right state of mind?]

Lu Benlai waited for a while for Xia Shangzhou to finish reading the message before continuing: [You really couldn’t tell that our boss hasn’t realized that he’s fallen in love with Little Junior? Trust me, this is the worst timing possible for you to pester our boss…]

Xia Shangzhou widened his eyes as he instinctively tried to speak, only to have Lu Benlai muffle his mouth once more.

Xia Shangzhou was suddenly struck with a realization, and he anxiously pointed to Lu Benlai’s phone, gesturing for the latter to lend it to him.

Understanding Xia Shangzhou’s intention, Lu Benlai handed over his phone.

Imitating Lu Benlai actions, Xia Shangzhou swiftly typed on the notepad before flipping the screen over to show his message: [How is that possible? It’s not like our boss is a fool. How could he not know that he likes Little Junior?]

After reading his words, Lu Benlai snatched the phone over and typed: [The eyes of the bystanders are usually the sharpest, can you really not understand that logic?!]

[Besides, our boss isn’t the type to play around. He definitely has his own reasons for doing this. Just give him a bit of time. If you push it too far, it’ll only affect your relationship…]

[So, Grandson, you should go back to your bed and sleep right now…]

Before Lu Benlai could finish his message, Xia Shangzhou had already snatched the phone away to type: [You’re the one who’s my grandson. You’d better show some respect to your grandfather over here!]

In the blink of an eye, the phone had switched hands back to Lu Benlai: [If only I knew how unfilial you were, I wouldn’t have stopped you just now. I should’ve just watched you leap to your death!]

“…”

The two men snatched the phone over and over again, arguing vehemently with one another for quite a long time before they finally returned to their own beds.

Without the slight hint of light from Lu Benlai’s phone, the dormitory became much darker, and the silence grew even more pronounced.

Such an atmosphere seemed better to lull one’s self to sleep.

Before long, Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou drifted off to dreamland.

And shortly afterward, the unmoving Lin Jiage abruptly tore the blanket off his head and opened his eyes.
