Chapter 214: Just Want to Be a Scoundrel
The Eldest Young Master is angry.
Lian Li looked at Jin Shi Yue without blinking, a dark and subtle emotion surfacing in her heart.
It seems that in TV series, after dating for a while, the male and female leads start discussing marriage, frantically planning to build a new home, never discussing their future plans, their understanding and expectations of marriage and children, or what kind of new home they want.
Lian Li didn’t want to continue with Jin Shi Yue in a muddled way.
Her life was like a math problem; one wrong step leads to many, so every step had to be taken clearly and firmly.
Perhaps she might make a mistake due to insufficient knowledge, but it was still better than knowing the correct answer and missing it due to carelessness.
She told him her true thoughts.
And then… they fell into some kind of vortex.
Sigh.
Lian Li let out a long sigh, feeling a bit annoyed. She ran her hand through her long hair again before speaking:
“Is there anything to eat? I’m hungry.”
Jin Shi Yue’s gaze slid over her with an unreadable expression. He slightly lifted his chin, gesturing to the pastries on the coffee table: “Help yourself.”
She only knows she’s hungry, but not that she misses her boyfriend.
The porcelain plates on the coffee table were meticulously arranged with Taiwanese pastries: butter shortbread, pineapple cakes, and brown sugar cakes, all her favorites.
Next to them was a porcelain dish filled with macadamia nuts.
“Crack.”
Jin Shi Yue easily cracked the shells and dropped the shelled macadamia nuts into the dish.
Lian Li sat on the sofa, tilting her head to look at him. The man was casually cracking shells, seemingly bored, picking at something to do. The blue veins on his pale white hands snaked, extending to his slender, bamboo-like knuckles.
Long and beautiful, impossibly expensive.
Lian Li chewed the brown sugar cake and asked him, “Why are you only cracking them and not eating them?”
The plate was piled high with macadamia nuts, almost overflowing.
Jin Shi Yue’s eyelids lifted slightly, his dark eyes glancing at her: “Why are you only making me angry and not comforting me?”
He mimicked her words, but his tone was completely different.
Light, indifferent, with a hint of mockery.
Lian Li: “…”
She told him the truth, and he was unhappy. What could she do?
She couldn’t lie to him, could she?
The girl wore a comfortable and cool literary plaid dress for summer. In the morning, her long hair was braided into a single side braid. Her delicate features were complemented by simple and elegant clothing, making her dazzlingly beautiful.
At this moment, she had just woken up. The braid was undone, her long hair slightly curled, casually draped over her shoulders. Her dark hair contrasted with her fair and tender skin, adding a touch of everyday charm to her perfectly structured beautiful face.
Her face showed hunger and sleepiness, making her look a bit dazed.
But her dazedness was unique, the kind that belonged to someone smart and cute.
Jin Shi Yue was not unaware of Lian Li’s concerns.
Like her, he didn’t want to disrupt her plans for further studies.
When he saw her vomiting, he felt an unusual panic. He was secretly relieved when he knew she wasn’t pregnant.
But before he could feel fortunate, he realized she hadn’t considered their future at all. Her future likely didn’t include him. Like a scummy girl, just playing around, no responsibility.
Was she planning to go to the United States for school and find a blonde, blue-eyed Western man?
One at home, one abroad?
Young Masters of their class could easily get anything they wanted. Many, just for fun, kept different types of lovers outside to pass the time.
Not just Young Masters.
Chen Wei Qi also kept them, but her taste was rather uniform. The pretty boys she kept were almost identical: 183-185 cm tall, with delicate features, able to cook and act cute.
It was like keeping a puppy.
Jin Shi Yue kept cracking macadamia nuts, not eating them, as if just for fun.
Lian Li looked at the dish full of nuts and, to prevent them from falling out, volunteered to finish them.
But she couldn’t eat them as fast as Jin Shi Yue cracked them, and he was getting more into it.
Lian Li had no choice. She turned to look at him, opening her mouth to stop his actions.
Jin Shi Yue suddenly grabbed her chin and stuffed a shelled macadamia nut into her mouth.
He spoke with a righteous and serious tone: “Eat less snacks, eat more meals.”
Lian Li gave Jin Shi Yue a questioning look. The man was aloof and tsundere, ignoring her, leaving her with only his handsome and noble back.
He was the one who put snacks in her mouth, and he was the one telling her to eat less snacks.
A man’s heart is the fifth ocean in the world.
Incomprehensible.
The private chef who came to the house prepared the meal and arranged the dishes beautifully on the dining table.
Lian Li and Jin Shi Yue sat at the dining table and ate slowly and silently, applying the principle of “eating without speaking” to the extreme.
After eating their fill, Lian Li checked the time. It was 5 PM.
In summer, it gets dark late, and the sky outside was still bright.
Even though she was lively and seemed fine, Jin Shi Yue still forced her to take medicine.
Lian Li succumbed to his ‘authority’ and swallowed the pill. Her taste buds were met with bitterness again, as if someone had poured a bottle of bitter melon juice into her mouth.
“I’m fine now, why are you still making me take medicine?” Lian Li gulped down half a cup of warm water, still feeling bitter. She turned and glared at him reproachfully.
“How are you fine?” Jin Shi Yue examined her face, a relaxed smile playing on his lips.
Lian Li was too nonchalant; she didn’t react much even when they had conflicts. Only changes in the details of daily life would unconsciously reveal other expressions on her face.
He asked knowingly, and Lian Li didn’t want to answer.
She picked up the porcelain cup and, disregarding ladylike etiquette, drank all the warm water in one go.
“I need to go out later,” Lian Li put down the cup and looked up at Jin Shi Yue, “Have you thought about it?”
Jin Shi Yue’s eyes lowered slightly: “Think about what.”
Lian Li wasn’t sure if he was asking knowingly this time. Her obsidian-like pupils swirled for a moment before she spoke:
“About what we discussed before, if you feel we have different paths and cannot work together, you don’t need to consider my feelings. Just tell me directly, I can handle it.”
How could Jin Shi Yue not know what she was referring to? He chuckled lightly, his tone sharp: “You just want to date and fool around with me?”
Lian Li’s pupils suddenly widened, doubting if she had heard correctly.
She wasn’t fooling around!
Wasn’t he the one fooling around?
“Lian Li.” Jin Shi Yue leaned down slightly, his gaze level with hers, his dark eyes looking directly into hers. “Is it fun to toy with my feelings?”
He was born with a strong aura. As he lowered his head, his thin eyelids drooped, making him look incredibly intimidating.
Lian Li asked, “When did I ever toy with your feelings?”
Their gazes met, their eyes intertwined, and a damp, sticky substance invisibly formed in the air between them.
Lian Li’s confidence wavered slightly. She tentatively asked, “How about I give you money?”
In recent days, the amount Jin Shi Yue had transferred to her was huge, enough to support many pretty boys.
Jin Shi Yue was so amused he laughed. He reached out and pinched her cheek. His grip was a bit strong, and Lian Li cried out in pain.
She slapped his hand: “Don’t pinch me, don’t pinch me.”
He let go.
The man’s profile was sharp, exuding a cold indifference. His thin lips were pressed together, clearly showing he was extremely displeased.
Lian Li’s clear almond eyes looked at him for a moment, then she softly asked, “Are you going out with me tonight?”
“Li Ye.” Jin Shi Yue dropped the two words indifferently, then stretched out his straight and sturdy legs and calmly went upstairs.
He was still angry with her, and getting more so.
Lian Li said “Oh” and, without asking Li Ye to drive her, asked him for some New Taiwan Dollar cash and left on her own.
Under orders, Li Ye was supposed to follow Lian Li closely, but Lian Li was resolute and had a way with words, so he couldn’t force her.
Miss Lian was sharp beneath her gentle exterior; she was quite fierce.
He wasn’t the Second Young Master.
Only the Second Young Master could be presumptuous in front of Miss Lian.
It’s just unclear why this couple suddenly had a conflict.
Did the honeymoon phase end, and they officially entered the arguing phase?
A friend studying geology said: The Fifth Ocean is already quite recognized, but it hasn’t been included in textbooks. So, let’s assume for now that there are only four oceans in the world, not five!
（ The current mainstream view in academic circles both domestically and internationally is four oceans: the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean. Some scholars also believe that the ocean surrounding the Antarctic continent should be recognized as a separate ocean （ the Southern Ocean/Antarctic Ocean ）, but for now, the four-ocean model is still the standard. ）
