YM778.TV Chapter 349 - Come Out
"Nope! I’m calling you a squirrel as in chipmunks kind."
"Did you just really call me a squirrel?"
"Well... I know, I shouldn’t do this." Ru was about to give a smirk when he added, "It’s really not fair to those squirrels."
"JieJie!" Ru’s voice boomed in the room making everyone flinch a bit except for a certain grinning bastard. "You! Son of a bachelor! How dare you! At least call me a dragon. This young master flies high."
Completely forgetting that there were other people gawking at them, Jie rolled his eyes as Ru’s narcissistic nature came out. "Oh, Mr. Chipmunk! Dragons won’t fit through the window. Also, I think even dragons will be sensible enough to use doors."
Ru gave him a mocking smile before gasping in surprise, "Oh my Gosh! Look, JieJie! There is a door in this room. And I so want to bang it on your face right now." With the ease that her expression shifted was truly admirable.
Before Jie could come up with a snarky remark again, Ru suddenly recalled something and pointed her finger at him accusingly. "You! Did you just say that you have never been happy to see me before this day?" There was disbelief in her voice as she glared at Jie to give an answer- one that might satisfy and pacify her.
Jie touched the tip of his nose and said, "Are you kidding with me? You are my best buddy. I’m always happy to see you. Today, however, I’m extraordinarily happy."
Ru finally stepped close to his bed and asked, "Really? I knew it! This young master has the charms to make anyone feel extraordinarily happy."
"More like extraordinarily doomed," Jie mumbled to himself.
"Huh? Did you say something?" Jie immediately shook his head, denying completely.
On the sideline, everyone was looking at them with dumbstruck looks but they had their own opinions about the scene playing before them. For instance...
The four brothers were like: ’Where did this strikingly gorgeous young man pop up from? Who is he?’
While Xu Mey was like: ’I have never seen Sensei being so playful and relaxed. Is this really my Sensei?’
It wasn’t Xu Mey’s fault for being this surprised. For her, Ru was like that amazing person who was mature, dependable, and most importantly formidable. But the Ru before her right now was nothing like that.
Poor Xu Mey didn’t know that Ru’s petty side only got out when Jie mocked her- which was like almost always!
Unbeknownst to what was going through other’s mind, Jie and Ru continued their persiflage.
"Oi! What took you so long? You went fishing at 3 and came back at 9. Are you getting slow in advanced age?" Jie was saying with a jeering smile.
"Who are you calling old? You are gonna be a father soon, it’s obviously you who is getting old. This young master is still single."
"And not ready to mingle," Jie added earning a glare from her. "What? It’s not you are gonna be a father any time soon... Or like ever."
"Oi! Mind your wor-," feeling something amiss, Ru stopped herself from continuing. He was right! She was a girl. Can’t really be a father! Like ever!
Jie smirked knowing she had no return remark for his last hit.
"Don’t be so smug!" Ru really couldn’t come up with anything better. She sighed heavily and shifted her eyes and that’s when she remembered that they have company. "Why is your room so crowded?" Ru whisper-asked him.
At her reminder, Jie looked back at Xu Mey and her friends. ’Oh, I forgot they were still here.’
"Right, save me from them. They are ganging up on me." Jie pushed Ru towards them.
Ru looked at Li Qiao to Wu Wang and then Lin Shen to He Jian before turning her eyes back to Jie. "You are telling me, you can’t deal with these four?" Jie nodded his head vigorously. Ru gave him an ’Are-you-serious?’ look filled with contempt.
She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "If my grandfather learned that his disciple is actually cowering away from these four men, he might choke you to death."
"I know. But who will tell him?" Seeing Jie’s wiggling brows, Ru was pissed off.
Turning back around, she clapped her hands twice. "Okay! So, who wants to touch my JieJie? Come out. Let’s have some fun."
