"Snap!"
Lin Baici flicked Li Yintong on the forehead, grabbed the back of her collar, and pulled her off him.
"I treated you like a friend, and you wanted to sleep with me?"
Lin Baici feigned shock.
He couldn't accept Li Yintong, so to ease the awkwardness, he could only joke around and distract the Taimai.
Seeing the usually serious Lin Baici start cracking jokes, Li Yintong couldn't hold it in. She burst out laughing.
"Brother Lin, from now on, you're my brother!"
Tears glistened at the corners of Li Yintong's eyes as she reached up to wipe them away.
At that moment, warmth filled her heart.
Lin Baici had helped her without expecting anything in return. He treated her as a friend.
"Hurry up. Don't keep Mrs. Oliver waiting!"
Lin Baici ruffled the Taimai's hair, then walked a few steps away and watched the surroundings, making sure no one came over and caught her absorbing Divine Grace.
"Okay!"
Li Yintong clutched the Parrot Doll, calmed herself, and began absorbing the Divine Grace within it.
Profound, mysterious knowledge beyond the power of words poured into her mind, making her head feel as if it were splitting apart. But the pain was worth it.
A minute later, the Taimai finished absorbing it. She raised an arm to wipe the sweat from her forehead, then ran over and handed the Parrot Doll back to Lin Baici.
"I'm done!"
Li Yintong wrapped her arms around Lin Baici's.
"Let's go!"
When the two returned to the dining room, they saw Mrs. Oliver sitting with a gloomy expression, her right index finger tapping the table impatiently. She had clearly grown tired of waiting.
Lin Baici said nothing. He sat down, activated Sanskrit Chants and Buddhist Sounds, and began to pray.
