Love Affairs in Melbourne-Chapter 78 - 75 Love Makes One Childish

"Is having no logic something to be very proud of?" Even Yan Yan couldn’t always pinpoint where Jiao Zhifei’s logic was coming from.

"As long as someone has your back, logic isn’t important," Jiao Zhifei concluded with a new epiphany.

"Seriously though, why do you want to go to Vanke so badly?" When speaking to Jiao Zhifei, Yan Yan found that being as direct as possible was the best approach.

"Because Zhou Yuan is heading to Shenzhen. Such important information and you don’t know it, isn’t that a bit negligent for an elder sister?" Jiao Zhifei criticized Yan Yan.

"You haven’t given up on Zhou Yuan? Didn’t you have two relationships in college? And now you’re still talking about Zhou Yuan, is that really appropriate?" Yan Yan used to mention Zhou Yuan mostly in jest.

"It is appropriate, actually. Because I’ve been in relationships, I now know what I really like," Jiao Zhifei saw no issue in his behavior.

"But you and Zhou Yuan, you’ve never been together. How do you know whether you two are truly compatible? Besides, she doesn’t even want to deal with you," Yan Yan told Jiao Zhifei a cruel reality.

"She ignores me because I’m not around. If I were, she would definitely appreciate the beauty of my soul, just as I appreciate hers," Jiao Zhifei always had his own theories, all neatly packaged.

"When did you ever see her soul?" Yan Yan felt that the word "soul," coming from Jiao Zhifei’s mouth, sounded particularly strange no matter how it was spun.

"Of course, it started from the very first moment I saw her," Jiao Zhifei confidently replied.

"So you like Zhou Yuan because of her soul, which is as resilient as your mother’s, right?" Yan Yan still remembered the bizarre reason Jiao Zhifei gave the first time he mentioned he liked Zhou Yuan.

"Not at all, not at all. If each person’s spirit is like a lake, then Zhou Yuan’s would certainly be the self-sufficient type," Jiao Zhifei came up with a new reason.

"A self-sufficient lake? Then I wish you drown in that lake sooner rather than later, and may you never be fished out," Yan Yan no longer wanted to listen to these strange explanations.

"May your well-wishes come true, as there is life after death," Jiao Zhifei never minded his "poison-tongued" sister’s remarks.

The day Qi Yi left Stanford had arrived.

"Have you arrived in New York?" Yan Yan called Qi Yi.

"Mm, I have. How else could I receive such an important call?" Qi Yi was very happy to get a call from Yan Yan right after landing, his tone carrying a hint of exaggeration.

"Is every call this important to you?" Yan Yan was amused by Qi Yi’s remark.

Listening to Qi Yi’s words and tone was always refreshing for Yan Yan, as long as he wasn’t specifically looking to argue or to reason his way into some benefit.

"Why is it that our schedules never seem to align?

When I was in Wenzhou, you were in Melbourne.

And when you returned to Wenzhou, I headed to New York," Qi Yi said with a touch of resignation.

"So, what are you trying to say? I never should’ve asked you if June was a good month.

Originally, Qi Banxian had only deduced that August was the right month, but then June got needlessly thrown into the mix... novelbuddy.cσ๓

I think, ultimately, the real reason our schedules don’t match is probably because the truly good month Qi Banxian calculated hasn’t come yet," Yan Yan felt apologetic.

If she hadn’t asked Qi Yi if he was missing family for the graduation ceremony, he wouldn’t have gotten his hopes up and wouldn’t have been disappointed.

"I mainly feel a bit upset.

Why can all your classmates see you, but not me.

After meeting with university classmates, then it’s middle school classmates.

And after middle school, there are high school classmates waiting.

Are you already planning to go to Shanghai to find Jin Jin?

When do you plan to ’deliver yourself to their doorstep’ to settle accounts?" Qi Yi tried to make his tone sound not so gloomy.

He hadn’t been able to meet during the graduation ceremony, and Qi Yi’s gloominess continued, with no significant improvement even after he started working in New York.

"No, I have no plans to go to Shanghai recently. I plan to buy a ticket via Shanghai when I go back to Melbourne to study in July.

Then I can conveniently ’deliver myself to the doorstep’ for Jin Jin to ravish~

Oh dear, I’m starting to worry about the ’cruel methods’ Lawyer Jin will use on me.

This is all thanks to you, so it’s only right that you don’t get to see me in June." Yan Yan spoke and then pouted her lips again.

Yan Yan always said her psychological age was a bit older than her peers, but now when she talked to Qi Yi, her lips would pout at every turn.

The older she got, the more childish she seemed to become.

In fact, Yan Yan had also realized that she seemed to have become even more childish than she was in high school after getting back together with Qi Yi.

"We’ve already determined the responsibility for this matter before. Jin Jin wants to settle accounts with you because you kidnapped me again without informing her. It has nothing to do with me." Qi Yi felt it was necessary to adopt a "wise and self-preserving" attitude at this time.

"My boyfriend is about to become a Wall Street elite, so why do you talk like a ’little wife’?" When Yan Yan spoke to Qi Yi, her tone became as childishly unprecedented as her expressions.

"Who made you not miss me? Out of helplessness, I became a lonely, pitiful ’little wife’" Qi Yi was infected by Yan Yan’s childishness, and his voice carried a bit of woe.

"Which eye of yours saw that I don’t miss you?" Yan Yan was defeated by Qi Yi’s pitiful act.

"Which eye? How can you ask such a question? The truth is, both of my eyes couldn’t possibly see you right now." Qi Yi continued with the same tone.

"Haha, that’s easy, I’ll send you a photo later. That way, both of your eyes can keep busy, look whenever you want to." Yan Yan offered her solution.

"That’s so simplistic and crude?" Qi Yi knew Yan Yan intentionally suggested a "bad" plan.

"Who are you calling simplistic and crude?" Yan Yan expressed her serious dissatisfaction with Qi Yi’s choice of words.

"I haven’t mentioned the word ’photo’ from start to finish, have I? Even if you’re the master, you can’t accuse me of a trumped-up charge." Qi Yi was never one to speak recklessly.

"When do you start work?" Yan Yan realized she wouldn’t gain any advantage from continuing to quibble with words, so she dropped it.

"Not so soon, I have to attend the orientation training first." Qi Yi smoothly segued to the new topic.

"Did you find a place to stay?" Yan Yan started to show concern for Qi Yi’s living situation.

"Not yet, everyone will stay in a hotel during the orientation training. I don’t need to find a place to rent for now; I’ll go look around if I have time in the next few days." Xiao Qizi updated his master on his situation after arriving in New York.

"I see, so after your training you’ll start working overtime?" Yan Yan’s concern continued.
