296: The Copper That Destroyed A Conqueror (2)

The Copper That Destroyed A Conqueror (2)

Shi Yao thought that she was seeing things, so she raised her hand and roughly rubbed at her eyes, but the gray box of words was still there.0

Did this mean that she'd been blacklisted by Mister Numbers?

But she hadn't offended him at all! Why would he suddenly blacklist her? Was it because... she'd blocked him from her Moments page?

But she'd already set him free from the little black house... and besides, he didn't blacklist her the day she'd blocked him from her Moments page! Was he settling the score from back then? Or was he angry that she'd killed him with a headshot?

Could that even be blamed on her? He was the one who was standing there motionlessly like a bot...

So, on top of being venomous-tongued, vindictive, and arrogant, he was also a narrow-minded person too?

At this point, Shi Yao humphed coldly in her heart.

Blacklist me all you want then!

As if I give a damn!

With this thought in mind, Shi Yao unhesitatingly tapped on <111111

's profile picture and added him into her blacklist too.

After hearing <Yao Loves Ice Cream

's words, Lu Benlai took off his earphones and turned to look at Lin Jiage, "Boss, I think Sis Yao headed off to WeChat to brag about her achievement to you."

As those words drifted to his ears, Lin Jiage tilted his head ever so slightly, looking unblinkingly at his phone.

Not a word came from his mouth, but he knew full well that Yao Loves Ice Cream's bragging would never arrive on his end. He had already blacklisted her—not just from WeChat but from his entire life.

Xia Shangzhou was more concerned with what Sis Yao was going to text to Lin Jiage, so he asked, "Boss, what did Sis Yao send you?"

Lin Jiage didn't say a word.

Lu Benlai saw that Lin Jiage's phone screen was still on the game and thought that the latter was going to continue playing, so he asked, "Boss. Since you're going to play the game anyway, why don't you just join us?"

Xia Shangzhou: "That's right, Boss. Everything is fine as long as you don't speak to my Sis Yao!"

Did Sis Yao say that she's yours?

Lin Jiage lowered his gaze slightly, and with a resolute tone, he replied, "I'm a human, one with a backbone!"

Xia Shangzhou: "Boss. Even if you go back on your words and are no longer a human, you'll still be a god to me!"

Lu Benlai: "That's right, that's right. You're still our daddy!"

Lin Jiage wasn't really in the mood to play along with those two, so he tossed them an "I'll go running" before dashing out of the dormitory room with his phone in hand.

While he was changing into his sports shoes, the free-minded Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou had already leaped onto the next topic.

Xia Shangzhou: "How likely do you think our boss will stick to his vow of never playing with Sis Yao ever again?"

Lu Benlai: "Honestly speaking, I think it's quite unlikely."

Xia Shangzhou: "I think it should be quite likely."

Lu Benlai: "Bet on it?"

Xia Shangzhou: "You're on!"

Lu Benlai: "If our boss plays with Sis Yao again, you have to tattoo a Peppa Pig on your body!"

Xia Shangzhou: "If Boss never plays with Sis Yao ever again, you have to tattoo a Pleasant Goat[1] on your body!"

Lu Benlai: "Deal!"

Xia Shangzhou: "Okay!"

Taking the conversation into his ears, Lin Jiage's lips twitched as he thought: Those two really are a pair of lunatics!

After which, he pushed open the door and walked out of the dormitory.

Night runs were part of Lin Jiage's usual schedule, and he normally ran 1.5 km before turning in for the night.

But on this very night, perhaps it was due to the feelings of irritation he felt inside, but he ran lap after lap without rest.

[1] Pleasant Goat and Big Bad Wolf (Xi Yang Yang & Hui Tai Lang) is a Chinese cartoon that's well-known amongst the younger generation in China. I haven't really watched it before, but I think it's similar to the Road Runner and the Coyote.
