    If this was before, as long as Lu Bei and Xia Shangzhou rephrased their words immediately, Lin Jiage’s expression would immediately rx.


    But this time, despite Xia Shangzhou’s swift reaction, Lin Jiage’s frown still firmly persisted on his forehead.


    Sensing that something was wrong, Lu Bei quickly took up his book and flipped it open, and theny back in bed, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll just go back to reading my book…”


    On the other hand, Xia Shangzhou chose not to be like Lu Bei and run away. Instead, standing resolutely on the spot, he stared at Lin Jiage intently for a moment before asking warily, “Boss, you aren’t going to snatch Sis Yao from me, are you?”


    It was impossible to tell what was going on through Lin Jiage’s mind, but after Xia Shangzhou said those words, he suddenly strode over to the door to switch off the lights. With a particrly irritated “Goodnight”, he climbed onto his bed, pulled his nket over his head, and stayed motionless.


    In an instant, the dormitory room was plunged into silent darkness.


    Having yet to receive a response, Xia Shangzhou was unwilling to let the matter slip just like that. He was about to approach Lin Jiage to continue their discussion, but barely after the word “Boss” slipped out from his mouth, Lu Bei had already grabbed his hand.


    Xia Shangzhou instinctively turned over to ask Lu Bei what he was up to.


    And on the other end, Lu Bei seemed to know what Xia Shangzhou was going to do as well, and he forcefully tugged thetter onto his bed and muffled his mouth.


    Completely paying no heed to the struggling Xia Shangzhou, Lu Bei reached out for his phone, typed out a line of words, and shed it to Xia Shangzhou:<i>[Are you dumb? Can’t you tell that Boss isn’t in the right state of mind?]</i>


    Lu Bei waited for a while for Xia Shangzhou to finish reading the message before continuing:?<i>[You really couldn’t tell that our boss hasn’t realized that he’s fallen in love with Little Junior? Trust me, this is the worst timing possible for you to pester our boss…]</i>


    Xia Shangzhou widened his eyes as he instinctively tried to speak, only to have Lu Bei muffle his mouth once more.


    Xia Shangzhou was suddenly struck with a?realization, and he anxiously pointed to Lu Bei’s phone, gesturing for thetter to lend it to him.


    Updates by vip novel.


    Understanding Xia Shangzhou’s intention, Lu Bei handed over his phone.


    Imitating Lu Bei actions, Xia Shangzhou swiftly typed on the notepad before flipping the screen over to show his message:?<i>[How is that possible? It’s not like our boss is a fool. How could he not know that he likes Little Junior?]</i>


    After reading his words, Lu Bei snatched the phone over and typed:?<i>[The eyes of the bystanders are usually the sharpest, can you really not understand that logic?!]</i>


    <i>[Besides, our boss isn’t the type to y around. He definitely has his own reasons for doing this. Just give him a bit of time. If you push it too far, it’ll only affect your rtionship…]</i>


    <i>[So, Grandson, you should go back to your bed and sleep right now…]</i>


    Before Lu Bei could finish his message, Xia Shangzhou had already snatched the phone away to type:?<i>[You’re the one who’s my grandson. You’d better show some respect to your grandfather over here!]</i>


    In the blink of an eye, the phone had switched hands back to Lu Bei:?<i>[If only I knew how unfilial you were, I wouldn’t have stopped you just now. I should’ve just watched you leap to your death!]</i>


    “…”


    The two men snatched the phone over and over again, arguing vehemently with one another for quite a long time before they finally returned to their own beds.


    Without the slight hint of light from Lu Bei’s phone, the dormitory became much darker, and the silence grew even more pronounced.


    Such an atmosphere seemed better to lull one’s self to sleep.


    Before long, Lu Bei and Xia Shangzhou drifted off to dreand.


    And shortly afterward, the unmoving Lin Jiage abruptly tore the nket off his head and opened his eyes.
