Three People Walk Together, There Must Be an Idiot

The request made by the boy truly made Yu Songsong feel a bit awkward.

She had only initiated a conversation with Jiang Linyuan to relax precisely because she didn't want to continue spending time with him.

After all, Jiang Linyuan spoke so pleasantly, was handsome, and was far more interesting.

However, she couldn't refuse him directly, so she could only offer a smile that was forced yet polite:

"Well then, Zhao, come along with us."

Jiang Linyuan could only shake his head as he watched.

This junior was still far too naive.

The three of them walked together toward the bubble tea shop, taking the opportunity to catch some fresh air along the way.

"Senior, have you ever been a host before?"

On the way, Yu Songsong walked beside Jiang Linyuan and asked with great interest.

"I have, which is why I thought the way you were reading and rehearsing your script earlier was very impressive."

Jiang Linyuan smiled, the lies rolling off his tongue with ease:

"When I was a host for the first time, I was incredibly nervous just during the rehearsals."

"Eh."

Yu Songsong's eyes lit up as she drew out the end of her sentence, asking curiously:

"Senior gets nervous too? I couldn't tell at all."

"How could anyone not get nervous?"

Jiang Linyuan looked at Yu Songsong:

"Actually, I'm quite nervous right now as well."

"Why is that?"

Yu Songsong asked.

"Because I'm talking to such a beautiful girl like you, and I'm afraid of saying something wrong and making you unhappy."

Jiang Linyuan replied with a smile.

"Hahaha."

Yu Songsong covered her mouth and laughed, the two pendants on her chest swaying like swings.

"Then Senior doesn't need to be nervous, because if I weren't happy, I wouldn't be walking with you."

Seeing the two of them laughing and chatting, the boy following behind them felt his face darken involuntarily.

When she was going over the script with him, Yu Songsong had barely smiled at all, yet she was so joyful while chatting with this Jiang Linyuan.

This massive disparity made him feel quite uncomfortable inside.

He held it in for a moment, then said:

"It seems like Senior's experience as a host isn't very extensive then."

The provocative intent in these words wasn't even hidden; it was full of gunpowder.

Trying to start a fight with me? What a joke.

Meek and submissive in front of Yu Songsong, but throwing heavy punches at me.

How did the Turtle Prime Minister from the East Sea Dragon Palace escape to cause trouble?

Jiang Linyuan glanced sideways at the boy behind him and said:

"Ah, excuse me, what should I call you, junior?"

The boy turned red instantly.

Jiang Linyuan's actions and tone made him feel slighted; he actually didn't even remember his name!

He said indignantly:

"Zhao Tongyu, my name is Zhao Tongyu."

Seeing this reaction, Jiang Linyuan just chuckled happily.

Insecure yet vain, sensitive yet reckless.

Having this personality isn't your fault, but since you dared to jump in my face, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Do you really take me for the Leshan Giant Buddha?

"Oh, I haven't paid much attention to Zhao, but I imagine that with such a great partner as Yu, your hosting ability must certainly be nothing short of excellent."

Jiang Linyuan's bland remark left Zhao Tongyu flushed with embarrassment.

Wasn't this just saying that if he weren't partners with Yu Songsong, he wouldn't even bother to glance at him!

The key was that he couldn't even refute it.

Refuting it would undoubtedly deny Yu Songsong's hosting ability, but not refuting it meant he had to admit he was just a tag-along.

Zhao Tongyu's expression shifted several times, looking quite unsightly. He had no choice but to swallow his pride and grit his teeth, forcing himself to endure the humiliation.

Big and small jokers on your ID, a clown in the circus.

You've really outdone yourself with the clowning, buddy.

Seeing that the two didn't end up in a fight, Yu Songsong smiled.

"Haha, I'm not as great as you say, senior."

She had been worried at first that Jiang Linyuan and Zhao Tongyu would clash, but seeing his calm and indifferent attitude, she couldn't help but feel a surge of affection for him.

Seniors are just more interesting, unlike that dull guy who has low emotional intelligence and is so childish.

Unconsciously, she compared the two again, and her impression of Jiang Linyuan improved even further.

Watching Yu Songsong's reaction, Jiang Linyuan couldn't help but sigh.

I had no intention of chasing the deer, yet the turtle helped me along.

Hehe, this junior Zhao has some decent wingman skills; keep it coming.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author; maybe it just changed its name!

Sure enough, a scumbag's thousand schemes are no match for a clown's sudden spark of wit.

Jiang Linyuan and Yu Songsong walked to the milk tea shop chatting and laughing, while Zhao Tongyu followed behind them, feeling stifled and aggrieved.

If he left, he'd feel like he'd lost face; if he stayed, he'd just have to watch the two of them being lovey-dovey.

Damn, this is so frustrating!

"Junior, what would you like to drink? My treat. You two have been working on the script for so long, you deserve it."

Jiang Linyuan turned to look at the two and asked.

"Thanks, senior. I'll have a Mango Pomelo Sago, 30% sugar, room temperature is fine."

Yu Songsong accepted the offer generously.

Zhao Tongyu, however, said stiffly:

"I don't need it. It's just a cup of milk tea; I can afford it."

Jiang Linyuan's mouth twitched.

This guy really knows how to talk.

Three people walking together, there must be an idiot among them—it's absolutely true.

It's just a cup of milk tea, who can't afford it?

And who actually takes this seriously? It's just a gesture of goodwill.

Besides, how does this make Yu Songsong feel?

According to your logic, does that mean she's agreeing to my treat because she can't afford it?

Jiang Linyuan looked at Yu Songsong as if watching a show.

Sure enough, there was already a hint of annoyance on her face.

"Senior, don't mind him. If he wants to drink, let him buy his own. Let's get ours."

With that, Yu Songsong grabbed Jiang Linyuan's arm and walked to the side.

Whoa!

Charging with the ball!

Jiang Linyuan was startled by the sensation.

Still not as good as Xiao Yilin's jelly-like hands, though.

Watching the two being so intimate, Zhao Tongyu felt another wave of irritation, but he couldn't help but blame himself for his clumsy tongue.

I shouldn't have followed them!

Why did the senior run off with that Yu Songsong?

Lin Yilin looked at the empty corner, puffing out her cheeks in a daze.

She wanted to take out her phone to ask Jiang Linyuan what he was doing, but she was afraid of disturbing him.

Forget it! I won't think about that dog of a senior anymore! I won't! What's so great about him anyway!

"Ahem, um, classmate, are you busy?"

Just as Lin Yilin was lost in her wild thoughts, a slightly ingratiating female voice rang in her ear.

She turned around to look.

It was the girl who had occupied the bathroom in the villa back then.

Lin Yilin's eyebrows rose involuntarily:

"You're that girl from the villa!"

The girl looked a bit awkward and gave a dry, forced smile:

"My name is Qiao Shan, from the Organization Department. I was in the wrong that day, and I've come to apologize."

"Apologize?"

Lin Yilin looked at the girl, noticing that her expression didn't seem fake, and frowned as she said:

"Then you should go apologize to Senior Jiang, not me."

"I don't really dare to."

Qiao Shan said timidly, unconsciously touching her own face.

Don't dare?

Did Senior do something that day?

While curious, Lin Yilin couldn't help but worry about Jiang Linyuan, so she asked:

"Why don't you dare?"

"Uh, anyway, I'm really sorry about that day. Let's add each other on WeChat, and I'll send you a red packet as an apology."

Qiao Shan didn't answer directly, pulling out her phone and looking at Lin Yilin ingratiatingly.

But Binary Sister was all about being straightforward, so she naturally wouldn't agree.

She raised her little eyebrows:

"No way. If it's about Senior, you have to tell him yourself!"

"Don't be like that, good sister, I'm begging you. If that really won't work, could you at least ask him for me?"

Qiao Shan pleaded.

Lin Yilin had wanted to refuse, but then she realized this would be a chance to initiate contact with Jiang Linyuan.

So, she put on a hesitant expression:

"Fine, I'll ask Senior."

I have legitimate business to discuss with Senior anyway, so it shouldn't matter if I disturb him.

Thinking this, Lin Yilin sent a message to Jiang Linyuan.
