Chapter 339: Bury the One Who Dug the Pit (1)

Translator: StarveCleric  Editor: StarveCleric

As past events flashed across Liang Mumu’s mind, she couldn’t help clenching her fists tightly together.

No matter what, she had to succeed during Grandpa Lin’s birthday banquet!



After the principal doctor left, Liang Huiling and Liang Mumu remained in the ward for a little longer before taking their leave.

So, only Grandpa Lin, Lin Jiage, and Shi Yao were left in the room.

Without Liang Mumu causing any trouble, Lin Jiage reverted back to his usual cold and lofty attitude, leaning against the windowsill while fiddling with his phone.

On the other hand, Grandpa Lin continued chatting with Shi Yao. Their voices weren’t too loud.

A peaceful atmosphere drifted within the ward, soothing the hearts of those who were in it.

Lin Jiage didn’t hear what the elderly and young duo were chatting about, but as he glanced at the sight by the bed, the coldness between his brows seemed to melt into warmth.

By the time Auntie Sun brought a cup of Yi Dian Dian back, it was already eleven.

From early in the morning until now, Grandpa Lin had feigned illness for roughly four to five hours already. He felt that he might really end up being afflicted with a real illness if he were to continue faking at this rate, so Auntie Sun’s return left him feeling as if he’d spotted his savior. With eyes twinkling with restlessness, he began urging Lin Jiage and Shi Yao to leave.

“Jiage and Yaoyao, I’m getting a little exhausted. Since Auntie Sun is back, you don’t have to stay here anymore. You should get on with whatever you’re busy with…” As he spoke, Grandpa Lin put on an extremely exhausted look and coughed twice before gesturing for Auntie Sun to help him lie down.

In order to make his illness seem more convincing, after Grandpa Lin closed his eyes, he even coughed forcefully a few times.

Understanding Grandpa Lin’s intentions, after Auntie Lin placed the blanket over him, she silently urged Lin Jiage and Shi Yao to leave too. “The Old Master is asleep, so there isn’t much point in the both of you staying here anymore. Why don’t you two head back and rest for the day?”

Lin Jiage and Shi Yao nodded. The former instructed Auntie Sun to take good care of Grandpa Lin and the latter said her farewell before the two of them were ushered out of the room by Auntie Sun.

Auntie Sun didn’t rush back into the ward. Instead, she stood by the doorway until Lin Jiage and Shi Yao entered the elevator before returning to the ward.

A second after she closed the door to the ward, the sickly Grandpa Lin tore away the blanket covering him, leaped down from the hospital bed, and began to practice a Taiji routine.

“It’s a good thing that they don’t drop by every day, or I really might get ill at this rate.

“Auntie Sun, there should still be one last ice cream left from the ice cream box I told you to buy yesterday, right? Bring it over to me.

“Also, where’s my chess set? Take that out too. I’m going to the opposite ward to thrash that Old Sun!”

Hearing Grandpa Lin’s words. Auntie Sun flipped up the bedsheet, and at the bottom of the bed, she dragged out a mini-fridge and took out the last remaining ice cream from the box. Following which, she opened the drawer and took out a chess set…



Leaving the hospital building, Lin Jiage asked, “Returning to school?”

Shi Yao, who was walking behind him, was stunned for two seconds before realizing that he was talking to her. So, she hurriedly nodded and replied with an “Un”.

“I’m heading to the Research Building. Since it’s on the way, I’ll drive you there,” Lin Jiage said as he took out his car key, not having the slightest intention of heading to the Research Building.

But taking Lin Jiage’s word for it, Shi Yao replied gratefully, “Thanks.”

Lin Jiage silently shot a glance at Shi Yao as he pressed on the car key in his hand. Upon seeing the car lights flash, he began walking over to the car.

Shi Yao hurriedly followed suit.

It was hard to tell whether it was out of convenience or not, but when Lin Jiage passed by the front passenger’s seat, he helped her pull open the door and waited by the side. When she finally got in, he shut the door for her before walking over to the other side and getting in himself.
