I Just Want to Spoil and Run Away with the Abused Female Lead [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 27

Shi Xingrao was speechless. “It’s not for you. I didn’t buy one for you.”

Lin Yi lifted her eyelids and glanced at Shi Xingrao, her fingers lightly tapping the side of the milk tea cup. “You didn’t get one for me, yet you ordered two cups?”

Shi Xingrao choked up for a moment before retorting, “Isn’t it normal for one person to drink two cups of milk tea? Can’t you drink two cups by yourself?”

“Shouldn’t that be the case? For a single dog like you, isn’t it perfectly reasonable to drink two cups of milk tea at once?”

“Ah, sister, you wouldn’t skip ordering milk tea just because you can’t meet the minimum delivery fee as a single dog, would you?”

Cat Ears: “???”

Was its cup of milk tea just to meet the delivery minimum?!

Faced with Cat Ears’ questioning, Shi Xingrao suspiciously fell silent.

Cat Ears stomped its foot. “Host, say something.”

Shi Xingrao: “…”

Sister, ha, little green tea.

She really wanted to record the part where the little green tea called her “sister” and send it to Lin Shuangran to hear.

Not receiving a retort from Lin Yi, Shi Xingrao thought she had hit a sore spot about Lin Yi being a single dog and reached out to snatch back her own milk tea.

Just as Shi Xingrao was about to grab the milk tea, Lin Yi moved it away. “No, once it’s in my hands, it’s mine. You drink hot water.”

Faced with Lin Yi’s shamelessness, Shi Xingrao was utterly dumbfounded. “Why should I drink hot water? I bought this. At least give me one cup back?”

Lin Yi narrowed her long, narrow eyes, her tone casual but firm. “No. If you’re sick, why are you acting up? Drink more hot water and live a few more days isn’t that better?”

Shi Xingrao: “?”

When did she get sick?

As she pondered, Shi Xingrao had a sudden realization, recalling her conversation with Lin Yi yesterday. So Lin Yi thought her departure was due to illness and death.

Shi Xingrao wanted to laugh but held it back. Lin Yi really was something, so good at making assumptions.

Since Lin Yi had already imagined things to this extent, she’d be a fool not to take advantage.

She bet Lin Yi had more humanity than she did.

Shi Xingrao slowly blinked, looking up at Lin Yi with a somewhat sorrowful expression. “How many doctors have you met who say, ‘Eat what you want, drink hot water, and you’ll live a few more days’?”

“I’m about to die, and you won’t even let me drink milk tea. When do you expect me to drink it? When you bring it to my grave next year?”

Lin Yi closed her eyes, as if exasperated by Shi Xingrao, her tone gritted with frustration. “What’s our relationship that I’d visit your grave? Why do you keep talking about death? Do you think your life is too long?”

Shi Xingrao was equally exasperated. She just ordered a cup of milk tea, how had she offended this great Buddha? So many people in the office were holding coffee; why didn’t Lin Yi tell them to cherish their lives and only pick on her?

Shi Xingrao”Lin Yi, I’m here to help you. I haven’t taken a single cent from you, ”

Before Shi Xingrao could finish, Lin Yi shoved both cups of milk tea back into her hands. “Go back to work.”

Shi Xingrao returned to her desk, took a sip of milk tea, and couldn’t resist waving it provocatively at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi turned her head away and muttered, “Childish.”

But in her mind, she pictured Shi Xingrao with her cheeks puffed out. The girl was strikingly beautiful and vibrant, her slightly swollen cheeks full of life, showing no signs of illness at all.

Lin Yi left but had her assistant bring a cup of hot water. “Miss Shi, Manager Lin asks that you take a break.”

Shi Xingrao propped her chin on her hand, gazing at the spot where Lin Yi had just been sitting, and couldn’t help but speak up, “What do you think Lin Yi is scheming? I feel like her attitude suddenly softened is she setting a trap for me?”

“Did she slip something into the hot water?”

Cat Ears: “…”

Alright, alright, you really won’t take any of Lin Yi’s tactics, whether soft or hard.

After digitizing the milk tea, Cat Ears drank every last drop and took the initiative to ask, “Host, how about I find a few novels for you to read?”

Shi Xingrao’s lips curved into a smile. “Sure.”

But when she saw the novels Cat Ears had picked out for her, Shi Xingrao fell silent.

After a Contract Marriage with My Rival, I Turned Gay
My Rival Has Ill Intentions Toward Me
My Rival’s Gaze Seems Off

Shi Xingrao: “…”

After finding the novels, Cat Ears buried its achievements and quietly went back to coding. Shi Xingrao’s perception of emotions was indeed a bit off, but it was nothing serious it just wanted her to experience a bit more.

Lin Shuangran’s feelings for Shi Xingrao were genuine, but Lin Yi’s emotions weren’t fake either.

Shi Xingrao found Lin Yi on the rooftop.

The early winter wind was crisp and desolate. Shi Xingrao, wearing high heels, made a tinkling sound with each step. Lin Yi turned toward the noise and caught sight of the woman’s pale ankle, slightly flushed from the friction of the high heels.

A red anklet adorned her ankle, producing a clear, pleasant jingle as she walked.

It stirred an impulse to cradle those jade-like feet in one’s hands, to kiss them, to fasten a real chain around that pale ankle to keep the little fox tethered close by.

Without even asking, she knew it was a gift from Lin Shuangran they each had a matching one.

Shi Xingrao truly had the aura of a superstar, a presence that didn’t match her current status.

But if this person were to become a big star, she’d probably only gain fame through controversy. Shi Xingrao’s temper wasn’t exactly mild she couldn’t stand the slightest grievance. Only when Lin Shuangran was around would she bother to pretend, to act pitiful.

Lin Yi lifted her gaze, her exquisite and beautiful eyes lazily raised as she sneered, “Has the big star come to walk the flower path at my place?”

Shi Xingrao: “…”

When minds don’t meet, even half a sentence is too many.

“What big star would come to your shabby balcony to walk the flower path? Sister asked me to invite you home for a meal.”

Lin Yi gave a hollow smile. “Then I suppose I should congratulate you on becoming the mistress of the house?”

She already had the status to invite others home for dinner.

With the two of them together, it made her feel like an outsider.

Suddenly, Lin Yi’s phone rang. She glanced at the number and answered, pressing a finger to her lips to signal Shi Xingrao to be quiet.
