GTAS Arc. 2 Ch. 15
by cami【Congratulations, host, your Scum Abuse Value has risen to 60. Please keep up the good work! 】
Upon hearing the sudden prompt from the system in his mind, Ji Yichan’s expression froze for a moment. He subconsciously glanced around, first at Ji Feng, and then caught a glimpse of Ji Yanzhi, who was pale-faced and hiding around the corner of the corridor. He snorted coldly in his heart. Indeed, the protagonist Ji Yanzhi couldn’t tolerate seeing him getting close to anyone, no matter who it was…
A glint of cunning flashed in Ji Yichan’s attractive phoenix eyes. Alright! Since Ji Yanzhi had come to him, he would have to put on a good show…
Suddenly, he tiptoed closer to Ji Feng. Just as Ji Feng was surprised by his sudden behavior, standing dumbfounded in place, Ji Yichan bent his attractive phoenix eyes, his lips curled up, and he smiled playfully and cutely, “Could it be that I’m mistaken? Actually, you don’t like Shen Jiao at all…”
Ji Feng came back to his senses and took a half step back, his expression growing colder. “I never had any interest in her, it’s just a debt of gratitude.”
Seeing Ji Feng retreat a half step, Ji Yichan felt a sense of joy in his heart. Instead, he took another half step forward, still smiling brightly. However, there was a hint of cunning in his attractive phoenix eyes, and a soft voice emanated from his tender and dripping lips.
“Or perhaps you’ve actually been nervous around me all along? Could it be… you’ve fallen for me?!”
Listening to Ji Yichan running a train with his mouth full [1], Ji Feng sneered coldly. He leaned to the side, his entire being teetering on the edge of being provoked. His hands clenched into fists at his sides, and the restrained anger in his eyes burned more intensely. “Ji Yichan, that’s enough! If you want me to kill you, just say it. I’ll accompany you to the end!”
Looking at the furious and trembling Ji Feng in front of him, Ji Yichan suddenly retracted the step he had just taken forward. He suddenly turned cold and said loudly, “Manager Ji, please excuse me.”
After saying that, he ignored Ji Feng, who was blushing and still stunned, and directly turned around and walked in the opposite direction, not going to the council hall to find Ji Linchen with Ji Feng.
Ji Yichan lowered his head, making it unclear what expression was on his face at the moment. The current Ji Yichan frowned, his petite nose wrinkled. What just happened?!
The expected notification sound for the “Scum Abuse Value” did not ring. Instead, there was a notification sound about Ji Linchen’s favorability.
“Ji Linchen’s favorability has dropped to 50. Please improve it as soon as possible, Host!”
This means Ji Linchen is nearby watching me! Ji Yichan sneered. It’s really like trying to steal a chicken and losing the rice, and Ji Linchen saw it all…
Just as he was walking forward like a headless fly, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way. Without stopping his footsteps, he crashed into the person’s arms. Feeling a pair of warm hands pressing firmly on his waist, he looked up and found that it was indeed Ji Linchen.
But now, Ji Linchen’s handsome face was covered with a layer of obvious frost. His deep eyes stared at him sharply. There was no need to think about it. He must have seen the scene where he and Ji Feng were “flirting” just now…
“What were you talking about with Ji Feng just now?”
Hearing Ji Linchen’s question, which was not inquiring at all, Ji Yichan silently swallowed. He guessed right; Ji Linchen really saw it all…
Ji Linchen had originally asked Ji Feng to find Ji Yichan and go to the council hall to find him. But as soon as Ji Feng left, he felt sorry for Ji Yichan for traveling such a long distance and thought about going himself. Just as he walked to the corridor, he saw Ji Yan’s pale face desperately hitting the wall, as if he couldn’t contain his anger. But he had just arrived at the military camp, and Ji Yan had already made enemies with the people in the army. His heart was too narrow-minded. Ji Linchen naturally didn’t like Ji Yan like this.
“Yan, what are you doing here? The new recruits should be outside listening to training.”
Unexpectedly, Ji Yan was startled when he heard his voice, and he looked panicked. He even pretended to scratch his head and said he was curious and had walked the wrong way. A hint of doubt flashed in Ji Linchen’s eyes. After Ji Yan left, he walked to the place where Ji Yan had just stood and looked around, only to see Ji Yichan and Ji Feng talking intimately in a deserted place, laughing and talking! His expression froze instantly…
Just as Ji Feng saw Ji Yichan step back with a red face, Ji Yichan suddenly turned and walked away, leaving Ji Feng standing there dumbfounded. Ji Linchen’s deep eyes darkened.
It seems that now, apart from his own brother, his confidants, even his steward, had developed inappropriate feelings for Ji Yichan! Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Ji Linchen couldn’t bear it any longer and rushed out to intercept Ji Yichan, wanting to understand things clearly.
Just as Ji Linchen tensed up his whole body, intending to explain things clearly to Ji Yichan, when he could only belong to him alone, he suddenly saw Ji Yichan’s attractive phoenix eyes filled with crystal-clear tears, swirling in his eyes. Ji Linchen loosened the strength in his hand. He didn’t know why, but when he saw the pitiful appearance of this little guy who was about to cry, his heart, which had just hardened, softened in an instant…
Loosening one large hand, he raised it and wiped away Ji Yichan’s tears, speaking softly, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
Ji Yichan’s trembling shoulders shook, his attractive phoenix eyes full of grievances, and his soft voice made it impossible for anyone to get angry…
“You, you scolded me…”
Ji Linchen was stunned at the words, then sighed inwardly. Seeing his little one, whom he held in his heart, being so intimate with others, laughing and talking, it would be strange if he didn’t get angry…
Suddenly, Ji Yichan reached out with both small hands and hugged Ji Linchen tightly, plunging into the warm embrace of the general. Tears and snot were rubbed onto the general’s uniform, and he said with a choked voice, “I didn’t say anything to him. I just said he looks a lot like my older brother, but the steward said with a cold face, saying I seduced him! I really didn’t…”
Listening to Ji Yichan’s pitiful explanation, Ji Linchen basically had no reaction and instinctively believed what the little guy in his arms said. His deep eyes darkened, daring to say that his little lion seduced him, simply shameless! This kid Ji Feng must have felt too comfortable living in the Ji family, lacking the sense of urgency on the battlefield, and actually thought someone was seducing him? Ridiculous! If that’s the case, then he, as a general, won’t blame himself for retraining this old soldier…
While Ji Linchen was secretly pondering, Ji Yichan secretly wiped his tears and snot on Ji Linchen’s uniform, secretly smiling. It was just a seemingly intimate chat with Ji Feng. To be so nervous… It seems that this Ji Linchen really does care a lot about himself…
“Alright, stop crying, I didn’t mean to blame you…” Ji Linchen’s deep, magnetic voice came over, unexpectedly gentle.
Ji Yichan quickly suppressed the smile at the corners of his mouth, then lifted his small face. His eyes were still red, which was quite striking against his fair complexion. With his tender and pouty lips, he grumbled stubbornly, “You were so fierce just now! You scared me…”
Seeing the little guy coquettish in his arms, Ji Linchen felt both sweet and troubled. He reached out to hold Ji Yichan’s slender waist and pulled him closer. Watching the little guy with red eyes and a flushed face, the smile on his lips deepened. He lowered his head and whispered softly into Ji Yichan’s sensitive ear.
“Are you trying to seduce me, hmm?”
Feeling the teasing in his words, Ji Yichan immediately reacted. He tiptoed and planted a kiss on Ji Linchen’s handsome face. Seeing Ji Linchen stunned, he kissed him again, this time directly on his thin lips!
Seeing Ji Linchen’s face full of surprise, as if surprised at how he was taken advantage of again, Ji Yichan bent his still damp eyes and coquettishly said, “Okay, I’m not mad at you anymore. You still have to command the ambush of the elite troops, don’t you? Hurry up, or do you want your subordinates to wait for you here while you flirt with me?”
Of course, Ji Linchen couldn’t just let go of the charming little guy in front of him so easily, but he just wanted to say a few words to Ji Yichan. Coming back to his senses, it seemed that he had wasted quite a bit of time now. He gently pinched Ji Yichan’s cheek, his voice tinged with a smile, “Be good, wait for me in my room.”
Ji Yichan obediently replied, and as Ji Linchen took a few steps forward, he stopped and turned his head to look at Ji Yichan, saying, “I’ve never heard you mention your family before. Tonight, when you have time, talk to me properly.”
This was just Ji Yichan’s casual lie to deceive Ji Linchen, but now that Ji Linchen was so concerned, it warmed Ji Yichan’s heart. He bent his attractive phoenix eyes and replied softly. Ji Linchen then left with peace of mind.
After comforting Ji Linchen, Ji Yichan didn’t hear the prompt sound indicating an increase in goodwill. He felt puzzled, but before he could ask in his mind, he heard a voice full of resentment behind him.
“I never expected that in the Ji family, you would be so self-righteous and disdainful, looking down on us who climbed into Young Master Ji’s bed for fame and wealth. Now it seems, it was all just an act! Seeing how you were hesitant towards Young Master Ji just now, tsk tsk, I couldn’t even imitate it!”
Ji Yichan turned around at the words, as expected. It was Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu hadn’t even changed his clothes, and there was a large shoe print on his chest from where Ji Yanzhi had kicked him, quite conspicuous. Xiao Wu’s poisoned gaze was tightly fixed on him…
He sighed inwardly. There was always something hateful about pitiful people. He had said before, everyone had to rely on their own abilities to make a living. He didn’t know why Xiao Wu was so jealous of him. Even though he had climbed into Ji Linchen’s bed and had nothing to do with Ji Yanzhi anymore, Xiao Wu still hated him so much…
No matter what, even if the original owner’s heart died, Xiao Wu couldn’t escape responsibility. If it was Ji Yanzhi’s heartlessness that left the original owner physically and emotionally wounded, then Xiao Wu’s betrayal was the dagger that finally stabbed into the original owner’s heart!
Ji Yichan suddenly chuckled, standing still and straightening his posture. He lifted his innocent and fair little face, shrugged helplessly, and said aloud,
“Well, what can I do? Young Master Ji just likes me acting like this. The more I act, the more he likes it. If you’re not convinced, go act for Ji Yanzhi! Let’s see if he’ll be like Young Master Ji, holding you in his arms and whispering softly…”
