“Misunderstanding, it was all a misunderstanding.” Ye Wanwan laughed dryly.

“Don’t. How could there be a misunderstanding? Didn’t you say earlier that one is marked by the company one keeps? I’m that bad company,” Yi Lingjun said.

“The other stuff is fine, but it’s not me who said that sentence—it was you.” Ye Wanwan glowered.

It was clearly he who said “one is marked by the company one keeps” earlier, but now, he actually shoved the blame onto her… Yep, he was He Lianjue indeed!

“You also said that you weren’t familiar with me and your Senior Sister Medusa and couldn’t even recall our names,” Yi Lingjun said.

Ye Wanwan’s lips twitched.

This freaking old devil! When did I mention Sister Medusa?!

This old devil’s talent at driving a wedge between people is highly proficient now!

“I said I couldn’t recall your name. When did I mention Sister Medusa, huh?” Ye Wanwan fumed with rage between gritted teeth.

“See! You’ve admitted it! Medusa, look at her, listen to her! This is your ungrateful junior sister! Now that she’s all capable, she won’t acknowledge us and thinks we’re shameful.” Yi Lingjun shook his head with a sigh.

Medusa was exasperated. “Master… Junior Sister probably doesn’t mean that…”

“How could she not mean that? She admitted it herself. Didn’t you hear it?” Yi Lingjun snorted.

As Ye Wanwan watched Yi Lingjun switch into his He Lianjue persona and display his perfected skill of infuriating people to death, she was incensed. She took a deep breath before snorting and agreeing: “You’re right. I’m not close to that old freak and old devil, He Lianjue. So what?”

Yi Lingjun’s expression stiffened immediately, and he pointed at her with trembling fingers, agony and heartbreak written all over his expression. “You-you-you… Little Worriless! How could you be so heartless?! it’s true! It’s really true that every woman in this world is heartless!”

As Yi Lingjun said that, his eyes reddened as if tears would roll down his face any second.

Ye Wanwan was at a loss for words. On the side, Senior SIster kept giving her looks and told her to not lower herself to He Lianjue’s level.

Ye Wanwan had no choice but to clear her throat before saying, “Please, your acting is so flawless, and I had no clue you and Yi Lingjun were the same person. Rumors claimed you were archenemies with Yi Lingjun, so if I told Yi Lingjun I was very close to you, what if he held me hostage in order to capture you? Wouldn’t you be in danger then?”

He Lianjue secretly peeked at her. “Do you really think that…”

“Of course! What else could it be?”

He Lianjue said, “But you said I was an old freak and an old devil!”

“So what? I like old freaks and I like old devils, alright?!”

“But you said you didn’t even recall my name!”

“That’s because I was trying to fool Yi Lingjun and protect your safety, Master! During all these years I’ve been separated from you, Master, I’ve missed you every day and was deeply worried about you! Every day, I’d recall all the things you meticulously taught me and lamented about how there’s no one else in the world who is as handsome and otherworldly and unrestrained by society like you, Master! Being able to have been taught by Master is a fortune I cultivated through 10 lifetimes!” Ye Wanwan rattled everything off in one go without even taking a breather.

He Lianjue’s reddened eyes immediately sparkled, and he became elated with success. “I knew it! I knew that my Little Worriless was the person who understood me the best in this world!”

Ye Wanwan: “…”

Heh…

She didn’t know whether she knew him the best or not, but she was probably the person who brown-nosed the smoothest…
