The Male Lead, the Number-One Guy Who Does Not Like to Eat (34)

That day, Si Jiu received a call from Lin Yang, who said he wanted to meet her. Seeing the mention of “Mao.Xian, Chinese, and the internet,” they agreed to meet at a café near her residential complex.

The matter seemed rather formal, so Si Jiu guessed he had something important to say.

She agreed.

When Si Jiu saw Lin Yang, she was somewhat surprised.

Lin Yang looked a bit haggard, his entire demeanor drooping with discouragement.

Seeing Si Jiu, he forced a smile, which only made him appear even more pitiful.

“Wanwan, how have you been these past few days? Has your sister or anyone else bothered you?”

Si Jiu shook her head.

“That’s good,” Lin Yang said. “Wanwan, have you thought about what I said a few days ago?”

Si Jiu lowered her eyelashes and whispered, “I’m sorry.”

Those three words chilled Lin Yang’s heart, and his voice involuntarily raised, “You’re going to reject me? Why?”

The other customers in the café glanced over. Lin Yang looked embarrassed and quickly lowered his voice, “Why, Wanwan? You clearly still have feelings for me. You can’t forget me. Why won’t you get back together with me?”

“There’s no why. We broke up, and we’re not right for each other.”

“What’s not right? We were together for five years, and you never said that before. What, is it because I was once engaged to your sister?”

“We already talked about that. If you care about what others think, I can explain everything to our friends and family one by one. Wanwan, I have nothing else. I only have you left. You can’t reject me.”

[How did Lin Yang and Xu Weilai resolve this?]

The system clicked its tongue: [Resolved? Not at all! Xu Weilai never accepted it. She and Li Ying went to Lin Yang’s house to make a scene, to the point that Lin Yang’s parents wanted to disown him. Then they went to his workplace and caused a fuss. Now, in the eyes of his friends, family, and company leaders and colleagues, he’s just an irresponsible, unfaithful scoundrel. He even lost his job. He was right to say that now he has almost nothing left.]

The system added gleefully: [Serves him right!]

[Host, let me tell you, don’t believe him. Someone like Xu Weilai won’t give up easily. Just watch, they’re going to keep entangling each other. You better not get involved. Cherish your life and stay far away from scoundrels.]

“Wanwan, say something.”

Si Jiu looked up at him and shook her head firmly.

Lin Yang’s expression instantly crumbled. He grabbed Si Jiu’s hand roughly. “Why? Are you still sulking with me?”

Si Jiu felt sick from the coldness of his grip and tried to pull away, but he only held on tighter.

“Let go.”

“Is it because of that man?” His gaze darkened. “Is it because of that man, the one you slept with?”

Suddenly, he clamped Si Jiu’s chin, stood up, leaned over the table, and approached her. “He gave you a taste of something good, didn’t he? Something you can’t forget?”

“Yes,” Si Jiu said, unable to free herself, but she smiled.

At that moment, Lin Yang saw all the weakness and timidity vanish from her face; instead, she smiled with a seductive, intoxicating charm.

“The taste really is exquisite.”

Lin Yang stared at her vivid, alluring smile and the disdainful look she cast back at him. In his mind, something exploded.

“Then I’ll give you an even better taste.”

As he spoke, he lunged at Si Jiu and kissed her recklessly.

Meanwhile, across the street from the café, a man dressed in black and wearing a mask suddenly shifted his gaze away and said to the person beside him, “Let’s go.”

“Brother Xie, what’s wrong? Did you see someone you know?”

Xie Yu said nothing, turned, and quickly walked away.

What he didn’t see was that inside the café, Lin Yang, just moments away from kissing Si Jiu, suddenly convulsed as if struck by electricity, collapsed, and soon began foaming at the mouth.
