Chapter 812 - 820: A Battle of Wits and Courage

After asking, Jane Sampson noticed James Black shooting her a look, the kind that said, "Are you stupid?"

So, Jane Sampson suddenly didn’t dare to speak. At this time, if she said anything else, she might just set off King Black, who had been so hard to calm down.

Jane Sampson began to ponder again in her head, what on earth had she done today to make Chief Black this angry?

Could he have been angered by her return home?

Therefore, the idea that he had especially come back to spend Valentine’s Day with her seemed, in Jane Sampson’s opinion, likely concocted by herself.

How could someone like James Black have such a romantic bone in his body?

So, the question came back again.

What exactly had she done today?

Jane Sampson blinked her eyes at James Black, and although her face was all smiles, it was clear from the confusion in her eyes that she was utterly baffled.

James Black lifted his hand to cover her silly gaze, a hint of a smile at the corner of his lips, then flicked Jane Sampson’s forehead, not too hard, not too soft. Watching her hold the spot where she’d been flicked, puffing out her cheeks and glaring at him like a pufferfish, Chief Black finally spoke.

"Mair Williams and Liam Woody told me that during the days you were recording the show with the guard team, you kept staring at the bodies of those dumbfounded teammates of mine, unable to control your eyes. Mair said it was you who told her." James Black looked down slightly. "If you look again in the future, you’ll bear the consequences."

!!!

Jane Sampson’s bewilderment was now as big as the moon.

So, was James Black this angry tonight just because of the few casual remarks she had made to Mair Williams?

Wait! What was Mair Williams, the pigheaded teammate, doing telling Liam Woody these things? What business was it of hers to involve what she had said in her pursuit of Liam?

And what about Liam Woody? What was he thinking, showing that to James Black?

Jane Sampson gritted her teeth—these two troublemakers should be together forever! If they were not together, weren’t they just creating trouble for others?

If anyone said these two weren’t suited for each other, Jane Sampson would be the first to get mad. They were clearly a perfect match!

"So, you rushed back from the guard team in the middle of the night because you heard about this?" Jane Sampson lay on James Black’s legs, pulled on his pajamas, and then sat up.

After thinking carefully and seriously, she said to James Black, "Didn’t I watch properly? The things I said to Mair Williams, it was all nonsense. In those few days recording with the guard team, I was either trained like a dog or wracking my brain on how to outsmart you. Who would have the mind to look at that stuff?"

Jane Sampson wasn’t just talking nonsense. During the daytime, she was trained so hard that she had no time to notice anything, and whenever she had a moment, she was thinking about how to not let James Black win. In the last two days, she had been thinking about how to get away with her one-thousand-word self-criticism report. She swore to heaven that she really hadn’t seen anything.

Although now, thinking about it, she felt a little bit regretful.

"Outsmarting me?" James Black laughed when he heard Jane Sampson use that phrase. "You think you can outsmart me with that brain of yours?"

Jane Sampson, the mid-tier top student, immediately felt the disdain from James Black, the top-tier top student.

Rolling her eyes at James Black, Jane Sampson flung off the quilt and burrowed inside, huffed, and then lifted her leg up onto James Black’s, giving his lower leg a kick in the process.

"You’re getting bolder," teased James Black, but in his voice, in his gaze, there was nothing but indulgence.
