Chapter 1431: Chapter 821: Tension Inside and Out, the Troublemaker Reborn (3 Updates)

Late at ten, the bedroom was silent.

Although Jiang Shiyi had sobered up, he had drunk quite a lot, and his breathing was rough and eager, his mouth covered, with the hot air from his nose lightly sprinkling onto Lin Luyou’s hand, making her heart feel chaotic.

"Youyou?" The mother outside the door started knocking again, even twisting the doorknob, "This kid, why did she lock the door?"

"Has she fallen asleep? Don’t disturb her." The man spoke out, his words unclear perhaps due to drinking.

Lin Luyou heard this and slightly relaxed her tense body, while Jiang Shiyi gestured for her to remove the hand covering his mouth.

Outside seemed to have quieted down, Lin Luyou signaled him not to speak with her eyes, then slowly withdrew her hand.

It was then that she realized their bodies were nearly stuck together, without any gap, she was only wearing thin pajamas, and Jiang Shiyi, although sober, was still hot.

Through the thin layer of fabric, that heat began to seep into her bit by bit.

She instinctively wanted to retreat, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed...

The next second

Her body was abruptly pulled forward, landing precisely in his arms.

Her waist was held, her whole person pressed into his embrace.

The heat of his breath brushed against her ear, turning it crimson.

Aware that her parents were outside, Lin Luyou was inwardly tense, wanting to push him away but not daring to make any big movements.

...

At that moment, more talking came from outside.

"Quickly take off your jacket, it reeks of alcohol, I’ll heat up the food, you call Youyou out."

"The kids are already asleep, don’t call her."

"This kid didn’t eat dinner, her stomach isn’t well, and she doesn’t eat on time."

"What?" The man’s voice suddenly rose in volume.

Then, the bedroom door was knocked louder than before, as her father, unlike her mother, was drunk and didn’t know his own strength, knocking recklessly.

Each knock heavier than the last.

Lin Luyou was terrified, afraid Jiang Shiyi might make a sound, instinctively grabbing his shirt at the waist, causing his body to stiffen.

He glanced at her face flushed with nervousness...

Looking down, he tilted his head and pecked her lip softly.

Lin Luyou’s pupils trembled, she looked at Jiang Shiyi incredulously, was this guy insane?

Her dad was just behind that door, what was he doing?

"Youyou..." The knocking continued outside, as if they wouldn’t stop until she responded, "Why is there no sound?"

"This kid won’t be in trouble, right? Her shoes are still here, she should not have gone out, hurry and knock the door." Her mother frowned.

"Youyou—"

Lin Luyou had no choice, her voice trembling as she replied, "I... I’m here."

"You scared me and your dad to death, how can you not respond to knocking."

"I fell asleep."

"I’ll heat up some soup for you, come out and eat some before you sleep again."

"I don’t want any."

"No way!" Her mother was adamant, "Open the door first, if you don’t have soup, I’ll heat up a glass of milk for you."

Her mother’s request wasn’t unreasonable, so Lin Luyou couldn’t refuse, "Wait a moment, I’ll change clothes."

Knowing she was at home and safe, her parents were relieved, and started talking about funny things they encountered at the wedding banquet today.

...

Lin Luyou was truly helpless, she had no idea how she lost her mind and pulled Jiang Shiyi into her room, and now, there was no washing it clean.

Jiang Shiyi found her appearance hilarious; usually rational and calm, she was suddenly flustered.

Seeing her at a loss, Jiang Shiyi reached out to smooth her sleep-tousled hair, leaning down to kiss her temple.

His voice was low, "You go out to eat something, I won’t make a sound in the room."

Given the situation, it was the best they could do.

If she led Jiang Shiyi out, her family wouldn’t sleep tonight.

Lin Luyou was nervous as she carefully shut the door upon leaving.

"We left the meal for you but you didn’t eat, no one checks on you at work, you surely don’t eat on time, no wonder your stomach hurts..." Her mother rambled.

"Come here, let Dad talk to you for a bit."

"You smell of alcohol, go shower and sleep instead of talking."

"I just want to chat with my daughter, can’t we talk?" Her father’s voice was louder than usual, having drunk quite a bit.

Lin Luyou felt a headache, her dad usually drank a little without getting drunk, and he wasn’t someone who went nuts; he just talked a lot...

He liked pulling people for conversations.

Usually it was fine, as it was a rare chance to be home with her parents, she’d gladly listen to his drunken ramblings, but today was different, Jiang Shiyi was still in her room, and she wasn’t in the mood to listen.

The worst part was, the conversation he wanted to have was about her.

"... Youyou, today your uncle’s daughter got married, I felt so happy, thinking about when my daughter would get married."

"Dad hopes you find someone good, yet can’t bear to let you go; remembering how skinny you were at birth, like a little mouse, you were so cute."

Lin Luyou’s eyelids twitched:

Her dad was rambling, what dad compares their daughter to a mouse?

"When you first called me Dad, I was so excited, you were smart and driven since young, you know, you’re Dad’s pride..."

"You excel in studies and work, Dad never worried about you, but Youyou, you can’t always be alone."

"My colleagues are all grandpas now with grandkids, I also want that..."

...

"Oh, by the way, your colleague from last time, that boy from the Jiang Family, he’s pretty good, does he have a girlfriend? Can you two progress a bit?"

Lin Luyou wished she could cover his mouth, family chatter was one thing, but this was getting ridiculous.

"I find him decent, attentive and considerate, though the Jiang Family is particularly prominent, perhaps they won’t look our way, but my daughter is definitely good enough for anyone."

Lin Luyou was going crazy, her dad was really drunk, "Dad, what are you saying?"

"That young man is nice, you’re busy at work without meeting other people, at the lab only he’s young, I heard his younger brother ran into trouble? Do you know about it?"

Lin Luyou never discussed work with her family, they naturally didn’t know she was on site at the time.

"Youyou, good men don’t come frequently, I think your little assistant is nice too, he shouldn’t have anyone."

"..."

This old house of Lin’s didn’t have good soundproofing, Jiang Shiyi sitting at Lin Luyou’s desk was looking at her photos.

She rarely stayed at home, and the photos were taken before she went abroad, very young, with a ponytail, looking delicate.

Listening to the dad’s ramblings outside, he could only hold back laughter.

Judging from this, Lin Luyou’s father had a good impression of him, and wouldn’t cause trouble if he knew about their relationship.

*

Just then, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

The ringtone of a particular brand was distinctive, and no one in the Lin Family used that brand. The now-drunk Lin father was stunned for a few seconds...

Lin Luyou was more than shocked!

"Whose phone is ringing?" Her mother, heating soup in the kitchen, also came out.

The phone rang then stopped abruptly, but in this small house, it was easy to tell where the sound originated.

"This sound is..." The mother looked at her daughter sitting in the living room, who was holding a phone, yet the ringing clearly came from her room.

The ringing wouldn’t have been suspicious if constant, but stopping suddenly made it more suspect.

Jiang Shiyi hadn’t expected anyone to call him at almost eleven.

He quickly hung up, and the caller ID glaringly displayed:

[Jiang Xiaosi]

Jiang Chengsi frowned, what’s happening? Hanging up on him.

He’d just heard from Assistant Yuan that Si Yushan had dinner with his family tonight and wanted to check on their conversation, sending Si Qingxiao to rest, then quickly calling his brother.

Jiang Shiyi had been annoyed by a certain someone today, now at a crucial moment, interference?

Was this guy a born troublemaker?
