Chapter 1348 - 771: Quietly Flirty with a Little Sunshine, Come Over Tonight

"So what do you do together?"

"She usually makes clothes, so I just keep her company, have meals together, watch movies, take walks..."

"Where do you sleep at night?"

"I sleep in the living room. She has a sofa bed at home, which is quite nice. You can even listen to music on it; it’s got a lot of functions."

Jiang Chengsi was afraid his brother would misunderstand, so he explained it very clearly. Things that didn’t happen, he definitely would not admit to.

"You’re living together, and you’re playing with the sofa at night? No wonder you’re up in the middle of the night looking at the moon."

"..."

"Chengsi, is your health okay? Staying up late harms your kidneys, can lead to kidney deficiency, causing hormonal imbalances and decreasing some abilities, not to mention early..."

Jiang Chengsi’s scalp tingled, and he hurriedly interrupted him, "Bro, bro, I beg you, stop talking! I’ll adjust my schedule, I’ll adjust it, is that okay?"

"I suggest you go to the hospital for a full-body check-up."

"..."

Jiang Chengsi was already in despair, wondering if he studied chemistry or biology.

At this time, Jiang Shiyi looked at his watch, patted his shoulder, "I need to go back and report to the director. Don’t tell the family about my situation just yet, I’ll bring her back to meet Grandma in a while. I’m heading out."

"Hey, bro, what’s going on with you two? Arguing or what? Is everything okay?" Jiang Chengsi really couldn’t figure it out.

Last night they were publicly squabbling, what’s up with them today?

"Just the little quirks of a romantic relationship, with your IQ, you might not understand."

"..."

Quirks?

Being in love is supposed to be sweet and lovely, why create so much drama?

Jiang Chengsi was always straightforward; he said what he thought. During his time with Si Qingxiao, they never had any disputes or conflicts. If he felt uncomfortable or sensed something off with Si Qingxiao, he would immediately ask her about it, and if it was his fault, he would immediately admit it.

He never cared about saving face, unlike some people who are quite chauvinistic and hate apologizing. For him, as long as his girlfriend is happy, it’s fine.

So the idea of fighting to spice up a relationship was something he truly didn’t understand.

It’s just being in love, why make it so complicated?

Jiang Chengsi stood there for a long while before he came to his senses!

Oh man—

He forgot the main thing, he came to consult his brother about a problem.

When he hurried back out, Jiang Shiyi and his group of three had already driven out of the police yard. Frustrated, he tugged at his hair and turned back.

As he thought back, he couldn’t help but feel that the earlier conversation was odd.

Clearly, he overheard his brother’s secret, and the initiative should have been his. He should have been the one asking questions about how his brother and Lin Luyou developed to this stage.

He didn’t get any information, and he exposed his situation in Pingjiang...

Not only did he not get any gossip, but he also got himself involved.

Jiang Chengsi took a deep breath, things shouldn’t have turned out this way.

**

At this moment, Jiang Shiyi was sitting in the car, recalling how someone tried to get information out of him just now but ended up revealing too much about himself, and couldn’t help but laugh.

He really didn’t understand how with that IQ, his brother managed to pursue Si Qingxiao.

That girl’s skill was truly something else.

He seriously suspected it was not his silly brother who pursued her, but that someone conned him.

"Third brother, can I gossip a bit?" The little assistant driving turned his head to look back, seeing Jiang Shiyi and Lin Luyou sitting in the back, looking like they had reconciled.

These two, honestly...

Every day in the lab, there are all sorts of subtle hints, especially with their leader, always thinking no one knows about their affair, sneaking around. She thought they were maintaining a low-profile relationship, but actually...

Everyone in the lab knew already!

"Gossip about what?" Jiang Shiyi seemed in a good mood.

"Your brother, is Fourth Master really with Miss Si? Last night in the hall, were you meeting the parents?"

"Something like that."

"Have you been to the Si Family’s place? Is it particularly large, especially luxurious..." The Si Family was usually so low-key, the little assistant was really curious.

Jiang Shiyi chuckled, but his eyes glanced to the side where Lin Luyou was quietly flipping through a document.

"Third brother, Fourth Master has already met the parents, when are they getting engaged or married? Can I crash the party, or can you take more photos for me? I’m really curious..." The little assistant continued rambling, "Today, people from the Si Family were also at the police station, and they seemed to get along well with Fourth Master."

While Jiang Shiyi chatted with the little assistant, Lin Luyou’s phone vibrated in her pocket. She thought it was a work message and quickly took it out to check.

It was from Jiang Shiyi:

[When are you planning to take me home?]

He was, of course, talking about meeting her parents.

Lin Luyou coughed and didn’t reply, but another message from him soon followed, [How about this weekend? I think it’s a good day.]

[Or you could prepare, and I could take you home.]

Lin Luyou couldn’t be bothered with him, and just as she was putting her phone away, Jiang Shiyi suddenly shuffled closer, his arm brushing against hers, closing the distance between them.

"You..." Seeing her assistant was still there, Lin Luyou wondered if he was crazy. What was he doing?

"Everything okay with the materials?" Jiang Shiyi feigned nonchalance, looking at the documents she was holding, "Was it an aphrodisiac you detected in the room yesterday?"

"Yes, but the person didn’t dare use too much; otherwise, something could have happened yesterday. The police will investigate the source of the drug, and recently the Beijing entertainment venues will be going through a clean-up process. Your brother’s bar is not involved, is it..."

"His place is very legitimate, no illegal activity. Are you worried about my brother?" Jiang Shiyi explained.

"I was just asking."

The little assistant could no longer bear it. These two acted like this in the lab all the time. People who are dating really shouldn’t work together, especially in academics. It often leads to conflicts, leaving him in a difficult position.

When they fight, he’s unlucky; when they’re lovey-dovey, he has to endure their public displays of affection.

Life was really hard to bear.

He turned on the car radio, and a rather upbeat dance track started playing.

Then through the rearview mirror, he saw Jiang Shiyi lean over slightly and say something into his boss’s ear.

He couldn’t hear exactly, but apparently, their boss’s face seemed a bit red.

How could Lin Luyou not blush? Their relationship had barely begun to mellow, yet here he was, speaking sweet nonsense despite having someone else in the car:

"Do you want to come to my place tonight?"

In broad daylight, what kind of nonsense is that?

"Move over a bit." Lin Luyou was pressed against the door because of him.

"My brother’s issue has been handled; you don’t have to worry."

The way he said it made it sound like he was dealing with a crime scene.

"What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll make it for you."

Lin Luyou couldn’t take it anymore. Some people really take that saying about shining in the sunlight to the extreme. When they first met, it was during her graduate exams abroad, and he gave her a hard time, like a devil!

Then he started putting her down in various ways, deliberately teasing her, one minute criticizing her flaws, the next softly calling her junior or little junior sister...

Yet he lacked emotional awareness, causing her a period of insomnia and restlessness because of his antics.

This person could really be described as a scoundrel.

Like right now, even though she didn’t want to deal with him, he still had the nerve to say:

"This time I’ll be careful, I won’t be like before."

Lin Luyou’s mind exploded; she kicked his calf, and Jiang Shiyi just laughed as he sat up straight and started talking to her about an upcoming experiment.

The little assistant was already used to this sort of thing, immune to the boss flirting with his leader.

Even doing experiments, he could make things interesting, this man...

Too cheeky.
