However, he did not enter directly. Instead, he cursed outside.
“Stop with the useless talk. Next time, find whoever else you want to. I won’t help you anymore. If it weren’t for my good reputation, people might have thought I was fooling around. It’s really a bad choice of friends. You almost tarnished my precious reputation.”
With that, Lin Yi huffed and dissapeared into the room.
Qin Han,”???”
‘Where’s my knife?!’
Upon returning to his room, Lin Yi realized that Ji Qingyan was not asleep. Instead, she was sitting on the bed and reading a book.
Her long hair draped over her shoulders and fell naturally. A pair of rimless glasses was propped on her slender nose bridge, making her look exceptionally delicate and beautiful.
“Huh? It’s already so late, why aren’t you asleep yet?” Lin Yi asked.
“Didn’t you say that you would be back late? 1 just wanted to wait for you.” Ji Qingyan waved the book in her hand. “This book is quite interesting. The more I read, the more energetic 1 become.”
With that, she got off the bed. “Where did you go? Why are you only back now? It’s already past two o’clock. Why are you making such a fuss? You’re disturbing everyone’s rest.”
“Let’s not talk about it. When I went out in the afternoon, I ran into Qin Han’s ex-girlfriend. He got all emotional and insisted on dragging me to drink. I’ve been drinking until now. I’m so annoyed.”
“Isn’t that a bit too much? He was this distraught just because he ran into an ex-girlfriend?”
“He told me that she was his true love and that he wouldn’t marry anyone else back then. But who would have thought, his ex-girlfriend actually got married to someone else, a short and loser guy from this island country. His mentality just crumbled after that.” Lin Yi sighed.
“He even cried and told me that fairy tales were all lies and that he would never love again.”
“Why is Qin Han in such a miserable state? I remember that the last time he invited you to get drunk was also because of his ex-girlfriend,” Ji Qingyan said.
“In theory, someone like him, a rich young master with decent looks, who even studied abroad, should have plenty of girls around him. He shouldn’t be like this.”
“Maybe I’m not smart enough. Sigh, why am I so pitiful? 1 have to be his emotional trash can every time.”
“There’s nothing we can do about this.”
“As brothers, don’t we have to share blessings and hardships together? We can’t just ask for rewards. We have to also help each other when necessary.”
“Indeed. It’s no big deal for brothers to help each other and take the blame for each other.”
“Isn’t that so?” Ji Qingyan yawned. “I’m a little sleepy. Go wash up. It’s already past two.”
“Then why aren’t you sleeping in the middle of the night? Why are you looking at my phone? There must be something going on.” Ji Qingyan sat up cross-legged, one hand supporting her cheek as she looked at Lin Yi.
“Didn’t 1 already say that I had no intention of checking your messages?” Lin Yi said seriously.
“When I went out with Qin Han during the day, I lost my phone. I was also mulling over what you said and thought it made sense. Brothers have to help each other. So 1 took your phone and wanted to call him. I was afraid he would take it too hard and do something stupid.”
“Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and call and ask.”
“Alright.” Lin Yi stood up and said.
“It’s getting late. You should sleep first. I’ll go out and call him to express my condolences.”
“Why go out to handle it when you can deal with it here? If you can’t comfort him, just leave it to me. After all, I’m also a girl, and 1 might be more effective than you.”
“Um... okay...”
Lin Yi braced himself and dialed Qin Han’s number.
“What did you say? You want to die?!
“Are you f*cking sick? You actually want to commit suicide for a woman?!
“I know you’re upset. I’ve never been through anything like this, but I understand.”
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll drink with you. As brothers, we are stuck together for this life and the next. I’ll accompany you tonight. We won’t go home until we’re drunk!”
Qin Han,”???”
‘F*ck your grandmother!’
Lin Yi hung up and said to Ji Qingyan,
“I didn’t expect Qin Han to be so infatuated. He actually wanted to commit suicide after such a small matter. Fortunately, I called in time and persuaded him to stop. Otherwise, something really would have happened.”
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go and check on him!”
She got out of bed in a hurry, grabbed a coat, and put it on.
“We have to persuade him about this. He can’t be confused over such a small matter. He still has a bright future ahead of him, and the Qin family’s assets are waiting for him to inherit.” Lin Yi sighed.
“Sigh...” Ji Qingyan shook her head.
“Previously, I thought that a rich kid like Qin Han would definitely be a playboy. I didn’t expect him to be such a loyal person. This is really rare. 1 misunderstood him. Quickly go and visit him.”
Seeing Ji Qingyan’s serious expression, Lin Yi suppressed the smile in his heart and cursed inwardly.
‘What kind of person is Qin Han? Everything I am saying is made up!’
