The Beautiful Time With You Chapter 152 - Where’s Your Peppa? (2)

Chapter 152: Where’s Your Peppa? (2)

Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Milkbiscuit
Actually, after giving the matter some thought, Lin Jiage felt that his actions were indeed quite despicable. However, he couldn’t be blamed for doing it either. Who asked that beast to send a love letter to Soft Bun? And also, it was one thing for him to send it to Soft Bun, but how could that guy do it right in front of him?!
Do I, Lin Jiage, look like an easy-going man?
But speaking of which, that love letter sure was written… written… well, my head!
Irritated, Lin Jiage stood up and headed to the bathroom. However, on his way over, Xia Shangzhou—who was still giving his input on the love letter—suddenly turned his head to ask, “Boss, where’s your Peppa? When are you going to bring her over so that we can meet her?”
Peppa?
Lin Jiage frowned in confusion, not knowing what Xia Shangzhou was talking about.
Lu Benlai, who was in the middle of listening to Lin Jiage’s voice recording to write his love letter, raised his head and explained, “Boss, Xia Shangzhou is referring to that pet you mentioned raising a few days ago, the one that eats a lot. He gave your pet a nickname—Peppa, the character from Peppa Pig…”
In the end, that fellow is still treating Soft Bun as a pig, huh?
Lin Jiage paused for a second before slowly turning a nonchalant gaze towards Xia Shangzhou.
Xia Shangzhou found himself shuddering beneath Lin Jiage’s gaze, and he slowly backed up to the door while saying, “I just remembered that Li Qin was looking for me. I’ll make a quick trip to his room…”
He then opened the door and dashed off.
…
Lin Jiage didn’t feel remotely tired after taking a bath. He lay on his bed for a moment, and for some reason, he couldn’t help but recall what Shi Yao said to him over the phone last night: “I didn’t do it on purpose. Your previous messages didn’t seem like something you would send. After all, you’re usually quite reserved and proud, and you treat people coldly like they owe you two hundred bucks. T-that’s why I thought that you were Grandpa Lin…”
Am I really as bad as she said?
Lin Jiage flipped over on his bed.
Is Soft Bun’s impression of me really that poor?
Lin Jiage flipped over on his bed again.
He then fell silent for half a minute before sitting up once more.
…
Xia Shangzhou, who learned that Lin Jiage was asleep from Lu Benlai’s message, finally mustered his courage to return to the dormitory. However, when he pushed open the door, he was met with a seated up Lin Jiage. A shudder ran through his body as his instincts immediately prompted him to flee as fast as he could. But before he could move, Lin Jiage had already caught sight of him. “Come here. I have a question for you.”
Xia Shangzhou meekly replied, “Boss, ask anything you want.” But his feet were already instinctively shuffling backward.
“Come over…” Lin Jiage halted for a moment before giving a guarantee, “… As long as you answer me honestly, I’ll overlook the Peppa Pig incident.”
As if an angel had reached out her hands to him, Xia Shangzhou swiftly jumped over to Lin Jiage’s bed and said, “Boss, ask me anything you want! I promise that I’ll answer your question as honestly as I can. If there’s the slightest falsehood in my words, may the heavens strike me so!”
Lin Jiage nodded in satisfaction before asking, “Do I appear to you as someone proud and reserved, and that I treat people coldly?”
The smile on Xia Shangzhou’s face immediately froze.
Isn’t that a killer question!
“Boss, I know that I’ve done wrong. I’ll never do it again, so please forgive me.”
Lin Jiage stared at Xia Shangzhou with a frown after hearing those words, but seeing that the latter was unwilling to reply to his question, he could only say, “I promise that this isn’t a killer question. I won’t get angry no matter what you say.”
Xia Shangzhou: “Is that true?”
Lin Jiage nodded patiently.
Seeing that, Xia Shangzhou finally loosened his lips, “You do appear rather reserved…”
Halfway through his sentence, Xia Shangzhou secretly peeked at Lin Jiage, and seeing that the latter’s expression still looked normal, he finally relaxed his heart and added, “… and you often treat people coldly as well.”
Lin Jiage: “Other than appearing reserved, do I seem very proud to you too?”
Earnestly thinking that Lin Jiage wouldn’t get angry at his words, Xia Shangzhou replied bluntly, “Yes, you do appear very proud!”
Lin Jiage: “Do I look as if everyone owes me two hundred bucks?”
Xia Shangzhou replied without any hesitation, “More like two thousand bucks!”
