Chapter 52 - "Miss Him"

Lai Jiayi wanted to grab Zhao Yang's head and spurt water to his face, but the girl endured.

'Okay, calm down, I can't lower the barometer.'

Thankfully, at that time, there weren't a lot of customers, despite this time being lunchtime. So, no one really paid attention to Zhao Yang's shouting or whatever he did before.

But, after Zhao Yang and Lai Jiayi tried to stay calm, no one spoke.

….

Silence filled the group. Zhao Yun stared at Zhao Yang's red face next to him and looked at Lai Jiayi across Zhao Yang. The girl was patiently wiping off her face, but one could see her face was so dark.

She looked like she's about to kill someone with that dark aura around her.

'...uh...uncle, you do know that you just spurt your tea to miss, right?'

Zhao Yun had a wry smile on his face.

'Okay, I think my uncle will not apologize for that. Should I...just move on from this conversation about them fighting? Is it a landmine?'

Thinking like this, Zhao Yun tried to forget their discussion before. The boy hurriedly changed the topic.

"Ah, right, miss, speaking of which, yesterday, I blablabla •••" Zhao Yun started to talk about his daily life while ignoring Zhao Yang.

He made Lai Jiayi focus on him instead of his uncle.

Lai Jiayi kept a polite smile on her face as she answered Zhao Yun, but the girl would occasionally glance at Zhao Yang.

Every time she looked at the man, the girl would always tighten her fists.

'You bastard! If you aren't my capture target, I would have beat you to a pulp!'

Zhao Yun noticed Lai Jiayi was glaring at Zhao Yang with eyes full of malice. The boy couldn't help but sigh.

'Uhhh, the two of you are really fighting, huh? But I don't know why, ah! Can someone tell me??'

Zhao Yun silently thought as he kept talking like a chatterbox. On the other hand, Yaya suddenly spoke to Lai Jiayi,

[Uh Jia, I think we forgot something, quack.] The duck peeked out and stole a glance at Zhao Yang. The man was still typing fast.

'All he does is type and type. Is he a typing machine?'

If anyone knew what Yaya was thinking about, the duck might be abolished.

[Forgot? What do we forget?] Lai Jiayi sipped her juice and sighed.

'I don't think I forget anything– '

Lai Jiayi suddenly recalled something that both she and Yaya didn't discuss when they were still fighting.

! The mission!!

[Fck. The surprise mission!! I almost forgot!!] Lai Jiayi felt like crying. The girl glared at Zhao Yang with red eyes.

'This time, I have to make Zhao Yang feed me. Else, Yaya will be replaced with another AI!'

No! That can't happen!

Yaya shuddered at the mention of the mission. He tugged Lai Jiayi's sleeve and looked up with teary eyes.

[Jia...you can do the mission, right, quack? I still want to be with you, quack…]

Yaya sounded like he would cry at any moment.

Lai Jiayi's heart throbbed for Yaya. The girl lowered her head and gritted her teeth.

[Don't worry. No matter what, I will make that man feed me!]

'Even if I have to force him to feed me, I will. All for Yaya!'

Yaya silently wiped his tears. He looked at Lai Jiayi with a gentle smile on his dumb face.

[Hehehe, Jia, you are the best, quack!] Yaya was about to kiss Lai Jiayi's cheek when the girl squinted.

[Look, you have to help me too. Is there any way to get Zhao Yang to feed me?] Lai Jiayi asked in a stern tone.

'Last time, I have to feed Zhao Yang. I did that by pretending to be drunk. But now...how can I make Zhao Yang feed me?!'

Lai Jiayi almost pulled her head and rolled on the floor, frustrated.

'Zhao Yang is avoiding me for no reason today. It seems impossible to get this guy to feed me!'

Lai Jiayi looked at Yaya again with teary eyes. The girl looked like she's about to give up.

[Yaya...what to do? Should we kidnap this man to the toilet and then grab his wrist, make him feed me as we control his hand?]

Lai Jiayi was already out of ideas until she chose the dark path.

Yaya shook his head with all his might. [If you do that, the barometer might hit minus, ah, quack!]

'Jia is crazy. She's slowly going mad because of these missions!!'

[Then what? If it's before, Zhao Yang might feed me if I pretend to waste my food. He was so naggy before– ] Lai Jiayi paused.

The girl slumped to the sofa.

[Ahhh, I miss his naggy self!]

Lai Jiayi unconsciously blurted out what she thought in her heart. But then, she immediately realized that it sounded…

Weird.

Yaya noticed this too. The duck looked at Lai Jiayi in suspicion. [Eh, you miss Zhao Yang, quack– ]

[No, no!] Lai Jiayi abruptly lifted her face. She glared at Yaya, trying to deny with all her might.

[I mean, if he is naggy, we can easily accomplish this mission, right? If he still treats me like the way he treats Zhao Yun, he might subconsciously feed me.]

Lai Jiayi had a stoic, super serious expression as she explained, but then, her cheeks were blushing red. Only Yaya could see this, though.

The duck inhaled and exhaled. He nodded.

[Okay, I believe you, quack.]

'As long as Jia doesn't fall in love with Zhao Yang, I'm good. Because if she does, things will just be hard for her.'

Falling for Zhao Yang will only hurt Jia!
