151: Where’s Your Peppa? (1)

Where’s Your Peppa? (1)

"I think the reason why I love G University is because G University has you."2

Xia Shangzhou and Lu Benlai were dumbfounded. They quickly turned their gazes towards Lin Jiage.

Around three seconds later, Xia Shangzhou finally spoke up, "My gosh, did I hear him wrong? Were those words really from our boss?"

Lu Benlai dug a finger in his ear as he replied, "You didn't hear it wrong, those words were really from our boss. And they're so much better than whatever you came up with just now!"

"Scram! I don't have any time to waste on you, my precious grandson. The only thing on my mind right now is our boss…" As Xia Shangzhou spoke, he began circling leisurely around Lin Jiage. "Boss, you're from the Chinese Faculty, not the Math Faculty, right?"

Is that letter really so good for these two fools to praise it so much?

An inexplicable feeling of displeasure welled up within Lin Jiage's chest as he replied impatiently, "Do you want me to continue or not? If not, I'll just leave now…"

"Yes yes yes, please continue!" Lu Benlai clasped his hands together and pleaded earnestly. "Boss, I entrust my happiness in your hands! For this, I'm even willing to forsake Golden Resplendence. No, not only that, I'll even treat you tomorrow night, Boss! I'll treat you to... to... malatang[1]!"

After saying those words, Lu Benlai turned his head towards Lin Jiage as he smiled in embarrassment, "Boss, I just spent this month's allowance on clothes... Next month, I'll definitely make it up to you with some hot pot, so just make do with malatang tomorrow…"

But before Lu Benlai could finish his words, Lin Jiage started moving his lips once more, "I don't know when I fell in love with you—"

"Wait wait wait!" A thought suddenly came to Lu Benlai as he abruptly interrupted Lin Jiage's words. He swiftly grabbed his phone from the table and tapped on the record function. "Boss, can you repeat what you just said? I'll record it…"

Perhaps fearful that Lin Jiage would disagree to it, Lu Benlai didn't forget to fawn all over him, "Boss, I'm different from you. You're blessed with a photographic memory, and you can remember everything you've seen and heard, but for me, words just seem to enter from one ear and out the other…"

Lin Jiage had an expression that said 'how troublesome', but he still repeated his earlier words.

"Someone once said that he loved an entire city because a certain someone lived in it.

I think the reason why I love G University is because G University has you.

I don't know when I fell in love with you, but loving you has been the most beautiful and amazing thing that life has given me.

There are no other words I can speak of that can fully express my feelings for you other than a simple wish to spend my life by your side."

"A simple wish to spend my life by your side... It's as if those words were made just for me and Leng Nuan!" Lu Benlai repeated the sentence, and he couldn't help remarking in awe. "Boss, if you were born in the ancient times, you'd surely be one of the Four Scholars! There's really no questioning your talent!"

No questioning my talent? Hmph, I'm not interested in writing this kind of lousy and cringy stuff!

Lin Jiage glanced sideways at Lu Benlai and replied, "I didn't write the poem. I picked it up by the road."

"Ah…" Hearing those words, Lu Benlai realized that he might have fawned in the wrong direction.

It took him a mere second to quickly cover it up, "Boss, you sure are incredible. You can pick up such a good love letter even while walking on a road. If I weren't already engaged to Leng Nuan... If you don't mind, why don't we get engaged in our next life?"

With a look full of disdain, Lin Jiage threw back these words "You aren't complimenting me, you're repaying kindness with evil" before heading back to his desk.

After pulling out his chair and sitting down, he fell into deep thought.

While that 'beast' should no longer stand a chance with Soft Bun in this lifetime, he did help forward that guy's poem to someone who needed it. Could this be considered as a conservation of resources too?
