'I'm afraid she might fall down the stairs when she goes up.'
Zhao Yang thought.
Lai Jiayi shook her head and grinned innocently. "N-no, I'm alright, bowssshhh. I can...walk alone! Mm!" Lai Jiayi raised her fists, looking energetic.
Seeing the girl like that, Zhao Yang could only sigh. "Alright, get off." The man opened the car door and went out so Lai Jiayi could leave.
Lai Jiayi nodded. The girl was about to get off the car when Zhao Yun tugged her sleeves. "Good night, miss…" Zhao Yun grinned, squeezing his cutest smile to the girl.
Lai Jiayi felt like an arrow just stabbed her heart.
'You are so cute!!'
Lai Jiayi nodded and smiled sheepishly. "Mn, Gud nite Yunnieee~ " She hugged Zhao Yun without caring about his uncle watching from behind.
'I'm drunk anyway. I can use this as an excuse!'
The girl rubbed her cheek to Zhao Yun's cheek, treating him like a cute plushie doll.
Zhao Yun's face turned slightly red. The boy patted Lai Jiayi's back and suddenly felt a sharp gaze on him. He fearfully glanced at Zhao Yang and...
The man had a sour look as if he just ate sh*t. One wrong movement and Zhao Yang might drag Lai Jiayi to the sheep slaughterhouse.
"Uh, miss...you can let go now…" Zhao Yun laughed dryly as he pushed Lai Jiayi away from him.
'Uncle, you can't be jealous of me, right? Or are you jealous of miss instead? I don't know, ah!'
Lai Jiayi reluctantly let go of Zhao Yun. She wiped her fake tears and slowly went out of the car. "Byeh byehhh, Yunnie! See ya tomorrow– hic!" Lai Jiayi hiccuped.
The girl's acting already reached top-notch.
Zhao Yun simply waved his hand while trying to keep a smile, even though he knew Zhao Yang was staring dagger at a certain girl.
'If uncle drags miss witch by her collar, I won't be surprised.'
Thankfully, Lai Jiayi didn't dwindle for too long. The girl was now outside the car. She looked at Zhao Yang with red eyes and suddenly bowed.
"T-thank you for tonight– hic!" The girl wobbled a bit, startling Zhao Yang. The man immediately approached Lai Jiayi and was about to grab her body so she wouldn't fall when Lai Jiayi jerked off.
"G-gud night!!" The girl pushed Zhao Yang away and ran with all her might to the Internet café. She disappeared in a second, leaving Yaya behind.
'Jia...don't leave me!!'
Yaya cried in his heart while Zhao Yang shook his head.
'...why does she really like to run away from me?'
Zhao Yang suddenly gawked at Yaya, and the poor duck flinched. "T-thank you for today, quack!!" Yaya was also about to run away when Zhao Yang grabbed his neck. The man only used two fingers to do that.
! Keeekk JIAAAA! HELP ME–
"Make sure your mistress is fine." Zhao Yang warned Yaya with a flat poker face. His face was really dull, but Yaya took it differently.
In the duck's eyes, Zhao Yang's face was saying, 'if you don't take care of your mistress, I will roast you.'
'Waaaahhh scary!!'
Yaya nodded like a chicken as tears gathered in his eyes. "Y-yes, quack! I'll make sure Jia is healthy, quack!" Yaya saluted. Only then did Zhao Yang let go of the duck.
"Go."
"Y-yes!!" Yaya didn't waste the chance and immediately flew to the café. He went upstairs and disappeared from everyone's sight.
After making sure Yaya was gone, Zhao Yang headed back to the car. The car then departed in no time, followed by the silent Ji Zhuang behind them.
As the car went away, Yaya arrived at Lai Jiayi's room. He instantly barged in and was about to shout when he saw Lai Jiayi already plopped to the bed.
She changed her clothes from the summer outfit to a black t-shirt with Yaya's angry face on it.
'....where the hell Jia gets such clothes??'
Yaya pouted, and now his face looked exactly the same as the one on Lai Jiayi's t-shirt.
"Jia, why did you leave me, ah, quack?!" Yaya floated to Lai Jiayi's bed and stomped on the girl's belly. At this moment, Lai Jiayi was laying on the bed while covering her eyes with her right arm.
Yaya's sudden 'attack' made the girl almost puke all the food she digested tonight.
"Hey! Don't stomp my tummy– " Lai Jiayi paused. The girl suddenly lost the energy to bicker with the duck.
...uh...my body feels so heavy.
Seeing Lai Jiayi didn't fight back, Yaya felt immense guilt. The duck slowly floated to Lai Jiayi's forehead and touched it.
"You okay, quack? You look so tired– " Yaya abruptly stopped.
'Is it only my imagination or Jia is slightly warmer than usual? Her body temperature is higher than before…'
"...I'm okay. Just a slight headache." Lai Jiayi slowly raised and sat in a lotus position. The girl then looked at Yaya. "More importantly, do you have any idea how I can win tomorrow's event?"
Since Lai Jiayi asked, Yaya brushed off his worry about Lai Jiayi's health.
"For now, I don't have any idea, quack, but I think we will need something special to raise the barometer in one go, quack…"
Lai Jiayi touched her bed sheet and murmured, "Something special. Memorable...I can't show him my martial arts again, huh?"
'He already saw that, so this time, the barometer might not raise at all.'
"What's memorable and unique for guys, anyway?" Lai Jiayi sighed as she looked up to the glass ceiling. The dark sky without stars was precisely like her mind.
Blank and dark.
'Just what's the best way to impress Zhao Yang?'
