Chapter 58
Jiang Mi instantly realized the little bastard had been bluffing him into revealing the truth.
His expression turned cold as he walked toward the office building. Liang Jinyi hurried after him, escorted him all the way to the entrance of Zhuosi Law Firm, then told him, “Brother, I’ll come pick you up tonight too. Remember to wait for me at the office.”
Jiang Mi ignored him and returned to his office.
After sitting for a while, his phone rang.
It was Officer Huang again.
Once Jiang Mi answered, Officer Huang first asked, “Is this Lawyer Jiang?”
“Yes,” Jiang Mi replied.
Officer Huang let out a breath of relief before saying, “I called you this morning, but you didn’t answer. Did your… your boyfriend tell you what happened?”
“Boyfriend?” Jiang Mi repeated.
Officer Huang sounded uncertain. “Isn’t he… your boyfriend?”
Jiang Mi pinched the bridge of his nose.
Too lazy to explain their relationship, he said, “He told me. I’ll be careful from now on.”
The two spoke for a few more minutes. Once Officer Huang confirmed that Jiang Mi was taking safety precautions, they ended the call.
Liang Jinyi finished school at five-forty that afternoon.
He had driven Jiang Mi’s Audi away that morning and parked it near school. A little after six, he arrived at the entrance of Zhuosi Law Firm.
Just as he was about to walk inside, he saw Gu Yuan coming out.
Gu Yuan had not seen Liang Jinyi in a long time. The moment he saw him, he exclaimed, “Little brother got even more handsome.”
Liang Jinyi politely called, “Brother Gu.”
“Here to see your brother?” Gu Yuan asked.
“I came to pick Brother up from work.”
“Go on in. Your brother’s still in his office.”
When Jiang Mi saw Liang Jinyi arrive, he packed up and the two left work together.
Last year, Jiang Mi had hired an auntie to cook dinner for him.
When he opened the door, Auntie Chen had just finished making two dishes and was about to put the food into the microwave to keep warm before leaving for the day.
Seeing Jiang Mi return, Auntie Chen smiled and greeted him, “Mr. Jiang.”
Then she noticed the boy in a school uniform behind him.
Auntie Chen clapped her hands in surprise.
“Mr. Jiang, you didn’t say you were bringing someone home tonight. I only cooked dinner for one person.”
Auntie Chen was hardworking and cheerful.
She picked up the apron she had just taken off and started tying it again.
“I’ll make another dish.”
“No need.”
Liang Jinyi said this to Auntie Chen, then turned to Jiang Mi.
“Brother, I’ll cook for myself. It’s been a long time since you ate my cooking too, hasn’t it?”
He tossed his schoolbag onto the sofa, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his firm forearms, and headed toward the refrigerator.
Jiang Mi said to Auntie Chen, “Auntie, you can go home.”
“All right, then.”
Auntie Chen removed her apron and said goodbye.
Since Auntie Chen bought groceries every day, Jiang Mi’s refrigerator was never especially full.
Liang Jinyi looked through the ingredients available and simply made diced chicken in sauce and shredded beef with celery.
The two sat down at the dining table.
While eating, Liang Jinyi brought up, “Brother, you don’t need to have Auntie come cook dinner for you anymore.”
Jiang Mi lowered his eyes and quietly ate the tomato fish Auntie Chen had made.
He said nothing.
Seeing this, Liang Jinyi hummed thoughtfully.
“Then tomorrow afternoon, I’ll tell Auntie in person that she doesn’t need to come anymore.”
Then he humbly asked Jiang Mi for advice.
“Brother, in this kind of situation, do I need to give her severance pay? How much?”
Jiang Mi: “…”
Holding his chopsticks, Jiang Mi turned to look at him.
His tone was cold.
“I have no intention of firing Auntie Chen.”
“Brother…”
Liang Jinyi dragged out the word, once again acting spoiled and sweet.
Jiang Mi lowered his head and focused on eating.
“All right. I did tell Brother before that sometimes I won’t listen to you.”
After saying that, Liang Jinyi also lowered his head and resumed eating.
Jiang Mi felt his emotions become unsettled again.
Liang Jinyi always had that ability—to stir up the calm composure Jiang Mi worked so hard to maintain.
Without looking at him, Jiang Mi said faintly, “Your college entrance examination is coming up.”
Liang Jinyi turned his head and looked at Jiang Mi, who appeared to be eating very seriously.
The corners of his lips rose.
“Brother, you can just say you’re worried about me because I have exams coming up and don’t want me cooking dinner for you every day after school.”
Jiang Mi’s eyelids trembled.
Liang Jinyi continued, “Since Brother feels sorry for me, we’ll wait until after the college entrance examination before firing Auntie.”
Jiang Mi: “Shut up and eat.”
The next day was Saturday.
Before going home, Jiang Mi first visited the relative of his former client who had been injured by Wang Qiang.
Naturally, Liang Jinyi accompanied him.
After leaving the hospital, Liang Jinyi drove toward the southern part of the city.
Jiang Mi’s parents were also going to Grandfather Jiang’s house for lunch today, so Jiang Mi directed Liang Jinyi to drive to the building where his maternal grandparents lived.
The two elders were both over seventy.
Although they appeared healthy and their annual physical examinations showed no major problems, Jiang Mi cared deeply about their health and often bought nutritional supplements and health products for them.
This time was no exception.
Jiang Mi opened the trunk and reached for the expensive supplements he had specially selected at the supermarket that day.
But Liang Jinyi was faster and picked them up first.
Jiang Mi could only carry the fresh fruit, which was slightly lighter.
After locking the car, they walked toward the elevator.
Liang Jinyi glanced sideways at Jiang Mi and suddenly asked, “Brother, don’t we look like a couple visiting the wife’s family after marriage?”
The apartment where the two elders now lived had been purchased by Father and Mother Jiang seven or eight years ago.
Their previous home had been too far from Jiang Mi’s parents and was not in particularly good condition.
The building was seven stories tall with an elevator and generous spacing between buildings.
Grandfather and Grandmother Jiang had lived there for many years, and plenty of neighbors knew them.
Jiang Mi caught sight of a middle-aged man parking nearby and walking toward them.
He glared at Liang Jinyi.
“If you were a few years older and a girl, then yes, it might look a little like that.”
Liang Jinyi’s dimple appeared.
He said in sudden understanding, “So Brother doesn’t dislike me. You just think I’m too young and not a girl, so you’re afraid to be with me?”
Jiang Mi: “…”
“Brother, what are you afraid of?”
The elevator doors opened.
Liang Jinyi followed Jiang Mi inside and continued, “I’ll stay with you forever anyway.”
Another resident from the same building stepped into the elevator.
Jiang Mi gave Liang Jinyi a threatening look, warning him to stop talking.
Although Liang Jinyi often did things that appeared outrageous, he was actually very sensitive to Jiang Mi’s boundaries.
He never truly pushed him to the point of anger.
So he immediately restrained himself and obediently answered, “Okay.”
Liang Jinyi was hardly an honored guest in Grandfather Jiang’s home.
He visited often enough.
Seeing Jiang Mi and Liang Jinyi arrive together today, Grandmother Jiang said, “Little Mi, Jinyi, it’s been a long time since the two of you came together.”
Liang Jinyi set down the nutritional supplements and smiled.
“From now on, I’ll come with Brother every time.”
Jiang Mi changed into slippers, too lazy to care about Liang Jinyi currying favor with his grandparents.
After the family finished lunch, Mother Jiang wanted to take the two elders shopping for summer clothes.
Father Jiang accompanied them.
Jiang Mi and Liang Jinyi did not go.
Once the other four had left, Jiang Mi turned on the television and found a comedy variety show, enjoying the rare leisure.
Liang Jinyi took out a chemistry test paper and sat beside the coffee table to study and work on it.
Afternoon sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling window near the sofa.
Tiny dust motes floated in the air.
Every now and then, Jiang Mi would find the television program boring, take out his phone, scroll through recent news, then glance at Liang Jinyi.
Head lowered, sitting on a small plastic stool, bent over and studying obediently.
Time seemed to stretch long and drowsy.
The phone slipped from Jiang Mi’s hand onto the sofa.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
After Liang Jinyi finished an entire test paper, he turned his head and saw Jiang Mi asleep.
He picked up the remote from the coffee table, lowered the volume, and continued working.
He did not know how long he had been studying when his own eyes grew heavy.
He yawned, got up, sat beside Jiang Mi, wrapped his arms around him, and fell asleep.
A little after four in the afternoon, Mother Jiang and the others returned with plenty of shopping bags.
Grandmother Jiang was smiling and talking about something funny that had happened recently when she opened the door and saw the scene in the living room.
She lowered her voice and smiled.
“The two children fell asleep on the sofa.”
Mother Jiang craned her neck to look inside and frowned.
“They’re grown men. Don’t they know how to go sleep in a bedroom?”
Father Jiang said, “I’ll wake them up and tell them to sleep in the room.”
Father Jiang walked over and first called, “Little Mi,” several times, then called, “Jinyi.”
Jiang Mi was the first to open his eyes.
His vision was blurry.
He first made out Father Jiang standing in front of him.
Then he realized that someone’s arm was wrapped tightly around his waist and a head was buried against his neck.
Jiang Mi woke completely at once.
He pushed Liang Jinyi away, his heart beating somewhat faster.
“Brother…”
Still half-asleep, Liang Jinyi reached out to hug Jiang Mi again.
Grandmother Jiang walked over and called Jinyi’s name with amusement.
Liang Jinyi became more awake.
His gaze moved away from Jiang Mi and landed on the Jiang family members, who had returned without him noticing.
Grandmother Jiang said, “If you’re sleepy, go sleep in the room.”
Liang Jinyi glanced at Jiang Mi.
Seeing that Jiang Mi was fully awake and had no intention of continuing to sleep, Liang Jinyi sat upright.
“I’m not sleepy anymore either. I won’t sleep.”
Grandfather Jiang said, “Don’t sleep too much during the day. You won’t be able to sleep at night.”
Seeing that both children were awake, Mother Jiang smiled and took out a paper bag.
“Little Mi, Jinyi, we happened to buy some summer clothes for you too. Come take a look.”
Liang Jinyi reached Mother Jiang before Jiang Mi did.
The window had not been fully closed, and the spring breeze was warm.
Jiang Mi looked at his smiling family members.
A hurried thought flashed through his mind.
If his family did not care whether his partner was a man or a woman…
The thought had only barely surfaced before Jiang Mi could examine it.
Mother Jiang saw him standing still and urged, “Little Mi.”
Jiang Mi came back to himself and walked over.
Dinner was also eaten at Grandfather Jiang’s home.
Late that evening, Jiang Mi’s family left and returned to his parents’ residence on Hongfeng Road.
Liang Jinyi went too and slept in the guest room.
On Sunday afternoon, Mother Jiang went shopping with a friend while Father Jiang took a nap in his room.
Liang Jinyi was studying in the guest room when he suddenly received a call from Liang Hong.
His biological older brother had returned home today and would be leaving for the northwest again tomorrow.
Liang Hong told him to come home for dinner that evening so they could eat together.
After ending the call, Liang Jinyi went to Jiang Mi’s room.
The door was half-open.
He pushed it open and walked straight inside.
After Jiang Mi finished discussing work with an overseas client, Liang Jinyi walked forward and buried his head against Jiang Mi’s shoulder.
“Brother, my biological brother is home. My dad wants me to go back for dinner tonight.”
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Jiang Mi pushed away the giant bird clinging to him.
“All right. Go back.”
“Then Brother isn’t allowed to go out alone. After dinner, I’ll drive over and take you back to Shimao Tingfang.”
Monday morning traffic was notoriously terrible.
Jiang Mi usually returned to Shimao Tingfang on Sunday evenings.
Jiang Mi thought Liang Jinyi was making too much of things, but there was no point arguing with him.
“Fine.”
Liang Jinyi looked at him a few times, then turned to leave.
After walking several steps, he suddenly turned around.
“Brother, do you want to come have dinner at my house too?”
Jiang Mi was about to refuse.
Liang Jinyi added, “Brother, you still haven’t met my stepmother, have you?”
An hour and a half later, the Audi drove into the garage of the Liang family villa.
Jiang Mi and Liang Jinyi got out.
Jiang Mi went to retrieve the gifts from the trunk.
Liang Jinyi helped carry two of them, his voice full of amusement.
“Brother, tell me, doesn’t today look like I’m bringing my partner home to meet the family?”
Jiang Mi took out the bird’s nest and slammed the trunk shut.
“Do you know why you can’t rank first in your grade?”
“Why?” Liang Jinyi asked.
Jiang Mi said coldly, “Look at the nonsense filling your head.”
Following behind Jiang Mi toward the entrance, Liang Jinyi shook his head.
“Brother, you’re wrong.”
He looked at Jiang Mi resentfully.
“The reason I can’t rank first is because you won’t accept my confession. You keep my heart hanging in suspense.”
A surveillance camera was pointed directly at them.
Jiang Mi noticed it from the corner of his eye and helplessly ordered, “Shut up.”
In the spacious, brightly lit Liang family living room, Jiang Mi met Liang Jinyi and Liang Xuping’s stepmother.
Just as Jiang Mi’s investigation had suggested, Zhu Zhengxin was not difficult to get along with.
She was gentle and thoughtful without being overly warm to the point of making people uncomfortable.
Jiang Mi ate dinner with the Liang family.
The meal did not feel long to him.
He had his own details he wanted to observe.
After dinner, everyone moved to the living room to chat.
Before long, the nanny carried down Liang Yu, who had just woken up and was fiercely demanding through body language to be brought downstairs.
Liang Xuping adored his younger sister.
When Liang Yu smiled at him, he took her from the nanny.
Jiang Mi was somewhat curious about Liang Jinyi’s little sister and walked closer to look.
Liang Yu had large black eyes and snow-white skin.
She clutched a fluffy yellow duck in her hand.
When she saw Jiang Mi, she stopped waving the duck and stared wide-eyed at the unfamiliar man before her.
A few seconds later, she opened her mouth and grinned wildly at him, waving her limbs.
Liang Xuping understood Liang Yu’s body language very well.
“Jiang Mi, look. As expected of mine and Liang Jinyi’s little sister. Liang Yu likes you too.”
Then he asked, “Want to hold her?”
Liang Jinyi looked more like his biological mother.
Liang Yu’s features were not especially similar to Liang Jinyi’s, though they both had snow-white skin.
“Sure,” Jiang Mi said.
He held out his arms.
But before Liang Xuping could hand Liang Yu over, someone pulled Jiang Mi backward, forcing distance between him, Liang Xuping, and Liang Yu.
Liang Jinyi said domineeringly, “Brother, you’re not allowed to hold her.”
Liang Xuping froze for a second.
He looked incredulous.
“Liang Jinyi, you’re already eighteen.”
Liang Jinyi raised an eyebrow.
“So?”
Liang Xuping: “…”
Zhu Zhengxin and Liang Hong were talking in the living room and happened to notice the scene.
Zhu Zhengxin looked surprised.
She had been living with Liang Jinyi for almost a year.
Overall, although he was somewhat aloof, he was not difficult to get along with and had always been polite to her.
In her impression, Liang Jinyi was a relatively mature child who did not show many emotions.
This was the first time she had ever seen such a childish side of him.
Liang Xuping did not indulge Liang Jinyi.
He continued offering Liang Yu to Jiang Mi.
“Come on. Hold little sister.”
Jiang Mi instinctively reached out.
Liang Jinyi’s voice turned sour.
“Brother, you never even held me when I was six months old.”
Jiang Mi’s hands slowed for several seconds.
Although several people were gathered around her, Liang Yu suddenly seemed to realize that she was not the center of everyone’s attention.
She pouted.
Then burst into loud tears.
“Why is she crying?”
Liang Xuping liked his little sister very much, but he was helpless whenever Liang Yu cried.
He quickly handed her to Zhu Zhengxin.
Zhu Zhengxin took the crying baby with amusement and gently soothed her.
Liang Xuping no longer felt like playing with his sister.
He took Jiang Mi upstairs to talk.
Jiang Mi and Liang Xuping had remained friends for more than ten years because, in certain ways, they could talk endlessly.
About two hours later, Liang Xuping suddenly came back to himself.
He checked the time and saw that it was already after ten.
“Do you still need to go back?”
Jiang Mi and Liang Jinyi were sitting on the balcony of Liang Xuping’s room.
Liang Jinyi sat inside the room, just beyond the floor-to-ceiling window, a little over a meter from Jiang Mi, with his notebook of mistakes resting on his knees.
Hearing Liang Xuping’s question, he picked up his phone and checked the time.
Then he stood.
“Brother and I should head back.”
Liang Xuping froze.
“You’re leaving tonight too?”
Liang Jinyi nodded as though it were obvious.
Jiang Mi explained, “Jinyi is worried about me.”
He briefly told Liang Xuping about Wang Qiang.
Liang Xuping said, “Then you should let Jinyi stay with you. His more than ten years of Muay Thai and sanda training weren’t for nothing.”
Indeed, they were not for nothing.
Sometimes he even used them to overpower me.
Jiang Mi thought this silently.
“Brother, let’s go.”
Liang Jinyi stuffed his notebook into his schoolbag.
Jiang Mi stood.
“All right.”
Liang Xuping wanted to call the young woman he had recently taken a liking to.
He had no time to walk Jiang Mi and Liang Jinyi out, so he waved at them as a farewell.
Liang Jinyi’s room was next to Liang Xuping’s.
To go downstairs from Liang Xuping’s room, they had to pass it.
When they reached Liang Jinyi’s door, he stopped.
“Brother, I need to grab a few clothes.”
He had gone to stay at Jiang Mi’s place on Wednesday night without bringing any clothes.
But on Friday evening, he had asked Uncle Li to deliver two changes of clothes.
Jiang Mi hummed.
“Wait for me, Brother.”
Liang Jinyi opened the door and went inside.
He did not close it.
The door remained wide open, making it obvious that he did not care whether Jiang Mi entered.
Jiang Mi had been to Liang Jinyi’s old room in the Jiang’an villa district, but he had never entered this one.
With a casual attitude, Jiang Mi walked inside.
The room was decorated in a cold, minimalist style.
Pure black, white, and gray.
The space was large, and Liang Jinyi did not own many things, so it appeared somewhat empty.
Jiang Mi walked farther inside and saw a framed photograph on the bedside table.
He went over and picked it up.
The photograph was many years old.
There was also obvious wear around the frame, showing that its owner had touched it countless times.
Liang Jinyi selected several clothes from the walk-in closet and stuffed them into his schoolbag.
When he came out, he saw Jiang Mi standing by the bed holding the frame.
Liang Jinyi slowly walked over, leaned against Jiang Mi’s shoulder, and smiled.
“Brother, I haven’t looked at that photo much over the past year or so. I look at other photos now.”
“Want to see?”
Before Jiang Mi could refuse, Liang Jinyi swiftly took out his phone, pulled up several pictures, and shoved the screen in front of Jiang Mi.
“Brother, these are the photos I’ve often looked at in the middle of the night over the past year.”
He said calmly, “Because of looking at Brother’s photos, I’ve had to wash my pants many times.”
As a healthy adult man, Jiang Mi understood perfectly what Liang Jinyi meant.
His brow twitched uncontrollably.
He forcefully set the ten-year-old photo of him and Liang Jinyi back on the bedside table and strode out.
After that, Wang Qiang was still not in custody, so Liang Jinyi continued driving Jiang Mi to and from work.
On Wednesday, Liang Jinyi had classroom cleaning duty.
He told Jiang Mi at noon to wait for him at the office because he would arrive about half an hour later than usual.
At six-ten, Liang Jinyi left school.
When he was two minutes away from Jiang Mi’s office building, he called him.
The first time, Jiang Mi did not answer.
The call ended automatically.
The second time, Jiang Mi still did not answer.
The call ended again.
Liang Jinyi parked at the temporary parking area, disconnected his phone from the car’s Bluetooth system, opened the door, and got out.
Beside the temporary parking area was the asphalt road outside Jiang Mi’s office building.
The moment Liang Jinyi got out, he saw a crowd gathered around the road in a circle.
There seemed to be police officers putting up a cordon inside.
Liang Jinyi vaguely heard office workers discussing something.
Intentional murder.
So much blood.
No one knew whether the victim could be saved.
Liang Jinyi froze where he stood.
The air seemed to become thin in an instant.
Breathing became obstructed and difficult.
Then his phone rang.
It took Liang Jinyi a while to react.
Suddenly, he realized it was the special ringtone he had set for Jiang Mi.
The prisoner bound to the gallows, waiting for execution, seemed to receive a moment of freedom at last.
He picked up the phone.
It took a long time for his vision to focus on the word Brother on the screen.
Liang Jinyi pressed the answer button with some difficulty.
Jiang Mi’s voice came through the speaker.
“Jinyi, are you here?”
After a moment, when he did not receive an answer, Jiang Mi added, “I went to the bathroom just now and didn’t hear your calls.”
Liang Jinyi blinked several times.
He also heard the men and women gathered ahead quietly discussing something about cheating and a lover.
He finally let out a complete breath of relief.
Walking quickly toward Jiang Mi’s office building, he said, “I’m coming upstairs now.”
The office building elevators required an access card.
Liang Jinyi still had the card Jiang Mi had given him last year.
Although he had not used it for more than a year, he had kept it in perfect condition.
The after-work rush had already passed.
Two minutes later, Liang Jinyi arrived at Zhuosi Law Firm and reached Jiang Mi’s office door.
Jiang Mi had already packed up.
Seeing Liang Jinyi, he picked up his laptop bag and walked out.
When he reached him, Jiang Mi stopped and frowned almost imperceptibly.
“Why do you look so pale?”
“Are you sick?”
He touched Liang Jinyi’s forehead with the back of his hand.
Liang Jinyi stared at him without blinking.
After a long while, he said in a slightly hoarse and aggrieved voice, “Brother didn’t answer my calls just now.”
Jiang Mi: “…”
Jiang Mi walked outward helplessly.
“Little brother, am I supposed to take my phone with me to the bathroom too?”
Liang Jinyi asked, “Why not?”
Jiang Mi endured it.
Then failed.
“Answer your phone while I’m using the bathroom?”
Liang Jinyi: “Mm.”
Jiang Mi felt that at certain times, communicating with Liang Jinyi was simply impossible.
The two walked out of the office building.
On the way to the parking area, Jiang Mi noticed a large crowd gathered ahead, excitedly discussing something.
An ambulance was parked nearby.
“What happened?” Jiang Mi asked.
Liang Jinyi glanced coldly ahead.
“Intentional homicide. Someone was seriously injured.”
Looking at Liang Jinyi’s complexion, which had not completely returned to normal, Jiang Mi suddenly understood something.
For some reason, a strong discomfort rose in his chest.
The two did not pay much attention to the incident.
When they reached the Audi, Jiang Mi offered to drive.
Liang Jinyi did not say much and obediently sat in the passenger seat.
They arrived home about half an hour later than usual.
Auntie Chen had already prepared dinner and left it in the microwave.
Jiang Mi told Liang Jinyi to wash his hands, brought out the food, and they ate dinner.
By the time dinner ended, Liang Jinyi’s mood seemed to have completely returned to normal.
Jiang Mi secretly let out a breath of relief.
Afterward, Jiang Mi went to wash the dishes.
He had just finished when his phone rang on the dining table.
Jiang Mi dried the water from his hands, walked over, and answered.
After hearing what the caller said, a trace of joy appeared on his face.
Several minutes later, Jiang Mi ended the call and said to Liang Jinyi, who had been watching him the whole time, “Jinyi, the police just called. Wang Qiang has been arrested.”
Liang Jinyi crossed the distance between them in two large steps and gestured for Jiang Mi to hand him the phone.
Jiang Mi said irritably, “You think I’d lie to you?”
Liang Jinyi snorted.
“Hard to say.”
He checked Jiang Mi’s phone.
Only after confirming that the recent call had indeed come from Officer Huang did he relax.
Jiang Mi said, “I told you, Wang Qiang’s main target for revenge wasn’t me. And with the police pursuing him, it was difficult for him to commit another crime. You’ve been making too much of it these past few days.”
Liang Jinyi really had worried excessively.
He would not even let Jiang Mi visit a client’s company alone.
It was not that he outright forbade him.
He simply demanded to accompany him.
Even when Jiang Mi had colleagues with him, Liang Jinyi still felt uneasy.
Jiang Mi had no choice but to ask the client to postpone the meeting by two days.
He had even been considering hiring two bodyguards if Wang Qiang was not arrested soon, just to reassure Liang Jinyi.
Liang Jinyi grabbed Jiang Mi’s arm and pulled him backward.
His head buried itself familiarly against Jiang Mi’s shoulder.
His voice was muffled, with a faintly fierce edge.
“Brother, you’re not allowed to leave me.”
Jiang Mi was silent for several seconds.
Then suddenly, he broke free from Liang Jinyi’s embrace.
He turned around and stared at the young man before him.
The ceiling light was bright, clearly illuminating Liang Jinyi’s features.
Jiang Mi did not hesitate for long.
He said directly,
“Jinyi, we can try.”
For a moment, Liang Jinyi did not understand.
“Try what?”
Jiang Mi said,
“Try dating.”
