CHAPTER 533: CHAPTER 534: STRIKING THE SOFT SPOT

"Just because they’re not gay, they must be a couple though, hehehe!"

Tang Jingming ran fast, with the wind passing by his ears, but he could still hear the surrounding sounds crystal clear.

A couple?

Haha!

"God damn couple, being a couple with this kind of person is just an insult!" Tang Jingming muttered as he ran.

But when he said it, that weird feeling inside him grew even stronger.

Thinking back on his words, the corners of his lips unwittingly curled upward.

Inside... he actually felt somewhat... happy?

Realizing this, Tang Jingming felt a moment of extreme panic in his heart!

Pah pah pah!

It must be because he’s been single too long that he had this illusion!

No, he needed to get his mom to set up some blind dates!

Ye Tiao returned home and discovered something unbelievable.

Tang Jingming, for some unknown reason, was sulking; he cooked when it was time to cook, washed dishes when it was time to wash up, cleaned when it was time to clean, and from beginning to end, he didn’t speak a single word to her.

Ye Tiao thought, "???"

This is so weird!

-

Shi Mei woke up and reached out, touching the warm big pillow beside her.

She hugged it contentedly and snuggled into it, murmuring drowsily, "What time is it?"

"A little after one."

Shi Mei suddenly woke up fully and looked up at him, quickly noticing the little "strawberries" she’d left on his chest, blinking, "Why didn’t you wake me!"

"Got something today?"

"Waking up this late, I’ll have trouble sleeping tonight, and I need to report to the school tomorrow." Shi Mei grabbed the blankets to sit up, tousled her messy long hair, casually pulled over a large men’s shirt from beside her, and hazily got out of bed.

The moment her feet touched the floor, Shi Mei felt her legs aching badly.

Looking down, she saw Shi Lingyan’s phone on the floor, bent down to pick it up, and immediately saw a bunch of missed calls.

Several from Yun Du, a few from unknown numbers, and a few from Bai Yuejie.

Besides that, there were tons of messages.

Emails, text messages, WeChat messages, all there.

Shi Mei glanced at them, too lazy to continue looking, and casually tossed the phone to Shi Lingyan, "A lot of people are looking for you."

Then, she went into the washroom.

Shi Lingyan took the phone, saw the various messages, his eyebrows twitching slightly.

He opened an email, it was about work in the company, not very important, so Shi Lingyan just glanced over it and didn’t bother about it, next, he saw Yun Du’s messages.

[Yun Du]: Boss, Bai Yuejie had an accident, it’s not looking good, they say it was right after she took your call that she had a heart attack.

[Yun Du]: She hasn’t woken up yet, call back when you see this!

Shi Lingyan then opened other texts and WeChat messages, finding out his grandma was also looking for him because of this.

It seemed, the call from Shi Mei last night had a big impact on Bai Yuejie.

Just didn’t know whether it was because of her scolding, or because of her last sentence: "The biggest thing Tang Wu and I have in common is being healthy, not needing to kill someone to transplant their heart into ourselves. I hope the next time we meet, you’re still alive."

That statement hit where it hurts, just hearing it, Shi Lingyan felt its damaging force.

He then made a call to Yun Du, who answered quickly.

Yun Du’s voice came through swiftly, "Hey, my dear big brother, you finally called!"
