Chapter 63.3: “Bai Duanduan, I like you.”

Could someone kiss someone without liking them? That was shameless! Besides, Ji Lin was so familiar with kissing, could it be that he mistook her for someone else because he was drunk? Was he actually trying to kiss another woman?

As soon as she thought of this possibility, Bai DuanDuan felt that she couldn’t sit still anymore. If she hadn’t been rational, she would have grabbed a kitchen knife and gone next door to confront Ji Lin.

For a moment, she was both ashamed and angry. She immediately picked up her phone and decided to throw this awkward hot potato back at Ji Lin.

She had just prepared the lines in her mind, and was about to cut straight to the point and say, “You kissed me when you were drunk,” and throw the bombshell. But when she picked up her phone, she was stunned.

There were actually 58 notifications on her phone, including WeChat messages and text messages.

Due to her instincts as a lawyer, Bai DuanDuan was feeling a bit uneasy after seeing so many reminders. Generally, if someone contacted her at such a high frequency and density, it was most likely a client. Since there were 58 messages, it was obvious that it was an urgent situation. Therefore, which case of hers went wrong?

Bai DuanDuan’s mood was anxious, and she almost instinctively felt that something bad was going to happen. Her mood suddenly became heavy, and she furrowed her brow, wanting to see what had happened. Her impulse to message Ji Lin also subsided.

However, when she opened WeChat, she was completely stunned.

“Bai DuanDuan, are you blind already at such a young age? What’s so good about Lin Hui?”

Lin Hui? What the hell does that have to do with Lin Hui?

Bai DuanDuan’s emotions were stimulated by the words “blind at such a young age” for a moment, and she was almost angry. What kind of dog man was Ji Lin? Not only did he kiss her without her consent, but he also had the nerve to turn around and scold her?

Damn it!

Bai Duanduan was so angry that she was about to die, and then she saw the second message sent by Ji Lin.

This message strangely stopped Bai Duanduan’s inner anger.

It was an accusation from Ji Lin –

“What do you see in Lin Hui? What does he have that I don’t?”

Then came the third, fourth, fifth, sixth…

“He’s so old, much older than me, you two will have a generation gap in the future. You’re thirty, he’s almost fifty, he’s almost dead.”

“…”

“He doesn’t have as much hair as me, I don’t think he’ll have much left in a few years.”

“His skin isn’t as good as mine, he smokes, his skin is dull. If you’re with him, you’ll have to breathe in secondhand smoke, but I don’t smoke. When he gets lung cancer, I’ll still be healthy and long-lived.”

“You took a leave of absence during work hours to go hiking and enjoy the maple leaves with him, and you didn’t contact me even once during the process! You haven’t actively contacted me for 41 hours straight!”

“Yes, Lin Hui is your first love, so what? Does that mean your first love is always right? Do all the women in the world marry their first loves?”

“I don’t think Lin Hui is a good guy.”

“I won’t allow you to be with Lin Hui.”

Bai Duanduan bit her lip and trembled slightly as she scrolled down.

Perhaps under the influence of alcohol, Ji Lin’s words lacked logic, were very chaotic, and were completely based on whatever came to mind. The text was not decorated in any way and was simple, rough, and direct. He complained on WeChat, and his huge resentment and unwillingness seemed to overflow along with his words…

“What’s so good about first love? Lin Hui is your first love, but that was your mistake in choosing him. He’s not good at all. Bai Duanduan, you’ve really been blinded.”

“You’ll regret getting back together with Lin Hui.”

“Is having a first love something great? Is it worth showing off?”

After advocating a wave of trash talk about first love, Ji Lin started attacking Lin Hui again –

“Oh, and Lin Hui has droopy eyelids.”

“Lin Hui has really aged. Can’t you see how obvious his forehead wrinkles are?!”

“Lin Hui’s skin isn’t as white as mine, and it’s also very rough!”

“Lin Hui doesn’t even exercise! He only knows how to work on cases all day. He gets sick at least once a month. With such a poor physical condition, he’s not even a man.”

……….

Bai Duanduan didn’t know how Ji Lin came to misunderstand her relationship with Lin Hui, but she had no idea that Lin Hui had so many flaws in Ji Lin’s eyes. Or more accurately, she had never thought that someone could scrutinize another person’s flaws from so many angles… Ji Lin’s actions were like a 360-degree attack without any blind spots.

He dissed Lin Hui on everything from his appearance, age, professional abilities, physique, and even his eating habits, hand appearance, and voice. Maybe he finally ran out of things to say, as there was a gap of almost half an hour between the last message and the next one on WeChat.

As far as Bai Duanduan, the recipient of the messages, was concerned, there was no time distance for these messages, because she saw the follow-up remarks from Ji Lin right after moving her fingers lightly:

“He can give you a raise, and so can I.”

“He can send you crabs, and so can I. Even if I don’t have a client who sends them, I’ll buy them for you myself. You can eat as much as you want. I’ve leased a fish pond this year. Next year, you can eat whatever seafood you want.”

“He brings you gifts every time he goes on a business trip, and so will I.”

“He can go shopping with you, and so can I.”

“I’ll buy you whatever you want. Hermes limited edition bags, jewelry that can’t be bought, I’ll buy them all for you.”

“Don’t envy that internet celebrity. I’ve already bought the VCA Perlee series kaleidoscope bracelet you wanted and it’s in the drawer of my office desk.”

“Don’t let my mother know about what I said above. I haven’t bought it for her.”

………….

Like a salesperson promoting a product, Ji Lin talked about all his good qualities. Bai Duan never knew he had such potential as a salesperson with his eloquence and persuasive abilities. With those skills, he could easily become the Sales Director of the East China region…

However, Ji Lin seemed to feel that his sales pitch was not enough. As he tried to wrap up, he summarized with the words, “He can give you money, so can I. I have more money than him.”

Then, Bai DuanDuan received a message with a transfer amount of 520 RMB.¹ 520= I love you in Chinese slang This was followed by several more transfers with the same amount.

As if this was not enough, Ji Lin then sent more transfers with the amount changed to 1314 RMB.² 1314= forever in Chinese slang

Bai DuanDuan scrolled down and saw more than a dozen transfers with these amounts.

If Bai Duan was able to remain calm when Ji Lin attacked Lin Hui earlier, she could no longer remain indifferent after seeing these transfers. Her heart raced like a drum, her face turning red like it was on fire. So Ji Lin… Ji Lin actually… liked her?

After the crude transfers, Ji Lin probably felt that money alone was not convincing enough, so he switched back to words.

There are various tones in these sentences:

There is a tone of arrogance: “What does Lin Hui have that I don’t? I’m better than him. I’ll give what he can, and I’ll give what he can’t.”

There is a tone of resentment: “You said you could change boyfriends every day for half a year without repeating. When will it be my turn?”

There is a tone of accusation: “Is it pitiful that your friend went to work at 16? I went when I was 13. Why didn’t you care about me?”

There is also a strange tone: “Although your taste is bad and your judgment is poor, everything else is fine.”

But wait, Ji Lin, what’s wrong with my taste? Are you confessing to me? How dare you insult my taste? 

Unfortunately, drunk Ji Lin clearly didn’t know this, and his next WeChat message was evidence that he really had no desire to live: 

“Although your cooking is deadly and your roasted chicken is comparable to feces, I still like you.”

?????

What? A roasted chicken that looks like feces? Is Ji Lin really confessing? Bai Duan feels that he may not want to live anymore…

However, a roasted chicken that looks like feces…this description…

In a flash, Bai DuanDuan suddenly remembered something. 

When she was being attacked by public opinion and cyberbullied under Du Xinyi’s guidance, there was an ID that had vigorously “debated with the masses” to defend her, and the other party seemed to have…a neighbor with deadly cooking skills who made roasted chicken that looked like feces…

………

For a moment, Bai DuanDuan fell silent.

She felt that she knew who this ID belonged to, and there really was no such thing as defending without reason in the world.

Although Ji Lin had secretly created a small account to defend herself, which was quite moving, he had actually said that her cooking skills were deadly, so he had to die.

However, soon Ji Lin’s next WeChat message made Bai DuanDuan no longer able to care about these small matters.

Because Ji Lin said –

“Bai DuanDuan, I like you.”

“Break up with Lin Hui and be with me.”

“I’ll give you the best of everything.”
