Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 430: Chapter 268: Obsession with Research Isn’t Good

"Isn’t this what they call a shakedown?"

On the sofa.

Zhao Linlin, looking both shy and indignant, picked up a cushion and threw it straight over.

Zhao Yi caught it calmly, continuing to ponder.

He had been distracted earlier and hadn’t paid much attention, but he wasn’t made of metal, and Zhao Linlin wasn’t a magnet. It wasn’t possible that he’d be drawn to her automatically.

How did Zhao Linlin happen to be right before him? How did he meet her eyes as soon as he turned his head?

There must be a shakedown.

When encountering a shakedown, the wealthy and powerful ones with bad tempers would just hit and run.

Zhao Yi didn’t think he was the kind to lose his temper easily. He had only engaged in a friendly exchange with the person shaking him down, why did she turn all embarrassed and angry?

"This is definitely not my fault."

Zhao Yi spoke very seriously, "And are you really planning to tell Xiaoqing?"

"Just you wait!"

Zhao Linlin gritted her teeth, flashing a fierce row of white teeth, which actually looked somewhat cute and silly.

Zhao Yi laughed, "Since you’re going to tell Xiaoqing anyway... I have to get the upper hand first."

"What?"

Before Zhao Linlin could figure out what was going on, Zhao Yi moved towards her, once again leaning in for a kiss. Beyond her control, she and Zhao Yi performed another friendly exchange.

This was a true battle!

Zhao Linlin fought back feistily, finding her resistance futile. She gave up struggling and simply conceded.

No, not entirely!

There was still some resistance!

Zhao Yi could feel it, he was hitting back harder, determined to take down his opponent.

Five minutes later, the battle ended.

Zhao Linlin’s face was flushed and her eyes had taken on a soft, watery look. Seeing Zhao Yi’s smirk, she felt a sudden surge of anger.

This guy... he can’t get enough of taking advantage!

"I’m definitely going to tell Xiaoqing, just wait for it!" Zhao Linlin warned fiercely, "Let Xiaoqing teach you a lesson, see if you dare bully me again."

"Oh, sure."

Zhao Yi watched Zhao Linlin smirk as if nothing had happened and asked, "Wanna watch TV?"

What a sudden change of topic.

Zhao Linlin blankly replied, "You turn it on."

"Right. What would you like to drink?"

Zhao Yi headed towards the kitchen, "Coffee, tea, or something else? I have some juice here, not sure if it’s expired. Let me check."

"...Just hot water will do."

"OK!"

The atmosphere that followed was somewhat weird. Both of them sat on opposite ends of the sofa, as though nothing had happened, their eyes glued to the TV screen.

They were playing a movie on TV, intriguing enough to want to continue watching.

Zhao Linlin remarked, "I like Huang Bo the most, he’s really witty. High EQ and IQ."

"Really? I don’t really care about celebrities, but Huang Bo seems pretty good. I do follow him closely."

Time slowly passed.

Just as the movie was about to end, a knock echoed through the room once more.

Zhao Yi answered the door to find Sun Liang.

Walking in, Sun Liang was surprised to see Zhao Linlin too, "You arrived pretty early huh? Didn’t you say you’d only be here after 12?"

Just as Zhao Linlin was about to speak, Sun Liang continued, "Right, how come you took the stuff Aunt Liu asked me to deliver? When I went to pick it up, she said you’d taken it." freewebnσvel.cøm

Zhao Yi looked over at Zhao Linlin, trying not to laugh.

Zhao Linlin’s face turned a deep shade of red, she couldn’t bring herself to meet Zhao Yi’s gaze. Then, with her teeth clenching, she heaved a cushion at Sun Liang, "Monkey, you’ll never find a girlfriend!"

"No wonder you’re single. You’ll be single for many more years!"

"What?"

Sun Liang was completely clueless. He muttered something about women and menstruation, nonchalantly sat down on the sofa and said, "Speaking of girlfriends, one of our dorm mates is quite popular. He managed to set up a social gathering with a girls’ dorm in a different major, it’s a four-on-four dinner. There’s this quiet girl who seems to like me, she even asked for my number and texted me."

"Really?"

Zhao Yi asked with interest, "Also a freshman? How tall is she? How does she look?"

"I have a picture."

Sun Liang took out his phone and showed them a photo. The girl in the photo wore glasses, wasn’t too tall but had a good figure. She gave off a quiet, intellectual vibe, like a female teacher.

"She’s not bad."

Zhao Yi gave his assessment.

"I think so too." Sun Liang was grinning from ear to ear.

"Let me see." Zhao Linlin also took a glance and disdainfully said, "She’s nowhere near Gao Yuan."

Sun Liang retorted, "Different styles."

"Already forgot Gao Yuan, huh?" Zhao Linlin clearly didn’t get along well with Sun Liang, she wasn’t comfortable unless she teased him.

Zhao Yi also joined in, "Right, what about Gao Yuan? You still keep in touch?"

Sun Liang nodded, "Yeah! We chat every couple of days and text often, we even met once over the holiday."

Zhao Linlin mocked, "So you’re two-timing? Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot? You’re a jerk!"

"Jerk!"

This time, Zhao Yi sided with Zhao Linlin.

Sun Liang’s behavior was really unacceptable. He already had Gao Yuan, but he was still flirting around in college.

Truly, a jerk!

Zhao Linlin quickly changed her target, "You too! Jerk!"

"I..."

Zhao Yi wasn’t satisfied with the ’jerk’ comment. He exchanged a look with Sun Liang, realizing that he always stood up for his buddies.
