Seeing how foolish the girl was, Wang Yue figured that if he didn't stick with her, he might not get another chance. So he could only keep trying to fool her. "Is time really an issue? You've known Zhan Yu for so long, and you still ended up breaking up. We've only just met, but we could get married tomorrow!"
Lin Beixing grew annoyed at that. "Who said I'd marry you? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Seeing that Lin Beixing was getting worked up, Wang Yue casually remarked, "I bet you haven't told your family that your engagement was called off. All your relatives and friends are waiting to attend your wedding. Now that it's suddenly off, your whole family's going to be embarrassed."
Lin Beixing didn't appreciate the sarcasm. "You're no different from me. Let's see how you explain things to your family!"
Wang Yue shrugged and replied nonchalantly, "I don't have any family in this world, so, you know."
Lin Beixing was furious. What was she supposed to know? Wasn't he just mocking her?
She hadn't expected someone who looked so decent to have such a vicious tongue. As she walked away, she snapped, "With a mouth like that, no wonder you're destined to be single forever!"
Wang Yue shook his head helplessly. He couldn't pursue her too aggressively, so he watched Lin Beixing walk away.
He had assumed the old man would show up again after Lin Beixing left, but to his surprise, the old man didn't appear.
Wang Yue hesitated. Since the old man wanted him to help Lin Beixing uncover the truth about this world, he'd need to live near her. At the very least, he had to become her friend.
So he followed Lin Beixing from a distance to the area around her
