158: I’ll Crush Every Flower I See (2)

I’ll Crush Every Flower I See (2)

It wasn't their imagination that Lin Jiage's tapping on the keyboard was growing louder with each second...0

Just as Xia Shangzhou and Lu Benlai thought that their hearts would stop from fright, the sound of the keyboard finally halted. Lin Jiage turned around to gaze at Xia Shangzhou, "What did you just say?"

Xia Shangzhou's legs immediately caved in from fear, and he nearly slid off his chair. "Boss, I didn't say anything at all."

"You said that Little Junior has a little too many peach blossoms?" Other than his tone being slightly colder, there didn't seem to be any discernible emotions that could be heard from Lin Jiage's voice.

But it was still a voice that left a shiver running down Xia Shangzhou's spine. He quickly shook his head, "Boss, you heard it wrong! I really didn't say anything like that. Boss, I'll give you 8,000 bucks, no, 16,000 bucks…"

Lin Jiage showed no particular response to Xia Shangzhou's words. Instead, he stared at Xia Shangzhou for a little while longer before remarking, "It doesn't matter how many peach blossoms she has, I'll snip off every single one of them. Even if she comes at me with a Peach Blossom Island[1], I'll raze down the entire place!"

And with that statement, Lin Jiage picked up his phone and began tapping on it.

By the time he finally placed his phone back down, the commotion outside had already been hyped up to a new peak.

"Those people outside are really too noisy! I'll go close the doors!" With his back drenched with cold sweat, Xia Shangzhou rushed over to the balcony.

But he'd barely reached the balcony doors when Han Jing's earnest confession suddenly came to a halt.

Curious, he walked out to the balcony to take a peek below, and a moment later, he exclaimed in astonishment, "Boss, Little Junior has gone down there too!"

"What?" Astounded, Lu Benlai rushed to the balcony and gazed down as well. A moment later, he turned to Lin Jiage and said, "Boss, Little Junior is really down there!"

Lin Jiage paused for two seconds before rising to his feet to join them.

Barely after he arrived, Han Jing's voice called out once more, "Shi Yao, happy birthday! I know that you've already rejected my confession, but I don't want to give up just like that!"

"Shi Yao, I really, really like you. Won't you consider me?"

At this point, an enthusiastic member from the crowd shouted, "I'll consider you!"

Shi Yao fell silent. Perhaps she was embarrassed, but she walked forward to grab Han Jing's sleeves, as if she wanted to pull him away from the crowd.

However, Han Jing wouldn't budge. Instead, he stared at Shi Yao intently and said, "Shi Yao, I know that the rumors on the school forum are all fake, and I also know that you're single right now. I hope that you can seriously consider me.

"Shi Yao, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

On the other hand, Shi Yao was unable to pull away Han Jing no matter how hard she tugged. She stood on the spot silently, not knowing what to do.

There was a brief moment of silence in the area when someone suddenly started chanting, "Accept him!"

It didn't take long for other people to join in as well, "Accept him! Accept him! Accept him!"

Back on the balcony, upon hearing this deafening commotion, Lin Jiage turned around and returned to the room.

Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou traded glances for a moment before deciding that their lives were more important than participating in the commotion. They were about to go back to the room when Lin Jiage suddenly appeared once more.

Before the duo could process what was going on, Lin Jiage suddenly raised his hand, and a bucket of water abruptly fell from the sky, splashing Han Jing and Shi Yao with unbelievable accuracy. At the same time, half of the candles on the field were extinguished by the gust of wind accompanying the water.

"What the heck? What's going on?"

"Who the hell is so inconsiderate?"

Amidst the complaints, the sirens of a police car abruptly pierced the night sky.

"Hm? What's going on? Why would there be a police car at this hour?"

"Did something happen?"

The complaints gradually fell to silent whispers as a man dressed in a police uniform walked over to Han Jing.

[1] Peach Blossom Island is a reference to Legend of Condor Heroes and Return of the Condor Heroes, the beautiful island headed by the East Heretic Huang Yaoshi.
