Without any hesitation, Lin Jiage replied: [I did.]
After which, Lin Jiage paused for a moment before tapping on the phone once more: [I didn’t go home. I went back to school.]
After replying back, Lin Jiage looked at his last two consecutive messages before glancing at his hands that were holding the phone.
It was just a second ago that he had made a furious vow, but a second after seeing her message, his body instantaneously moved to respond. Not to mention, it was two messages at that… The face slap came so quickly just like atornado 1 …
But then again, my hands moved on their own, not me. So, it doesn’t matter…
Just as Lin Jiage was contemplating deeply over this important matter, Shi Yao’s new message came in: [It’s good to hear that you’ve returned to school safely.]
At the end of the message, she added a hearty laughter emoji.
Staring at that emoji, Lin Jiage couldn’t help remembering her expression when she saw the trunk filled with all the food that she loved.
She’s always that simple. As long as there’s food that she loves, she becomes incredibly happy, like she’s standing at the top of the world.
Even though he didn’t know too many girls himself, that Big Philandering Radish 2 , Liang Jiusi, did have many girlfriends. Just like Soft Bun, they were all considerably young. However, in the depths of their eyes, he could see many desires, be it the desire for money, desire for luxury, desire to climb up the social ladder…
Soft Bun was not an unintelligent person; he unexpectedly stumbled upon this fact during the conflict with Qin Yiran. If she really wanted those things, she could have probably obtained them very easily. However, she’d never attempted to act in that direction… In this world, how many people were able to live a life as simple and earnest as Soft Bun?
In that moment, a phrase flashed across Lin Jiage’s mind— ‘Knowing the world but remaining unworldly, that’s the most beautiful form of maturity’.
He thought that this was probably Soft Bun’s greatest charm. Countless others would live their entire lives and never comprehend this state of mind.
Due to his wandering mind, Lin Jiage didn’t respond to Shi Yao’s message.
However, Shi Yao sent him a new message instead. [If your back still hurts tomorrow, you’d better have it checked out at the hospital. It would be terrible if those injuries end up affecting you physically.]
Is Soft Bun worrying about me?
A smile crept its way into Lin Jiage’s eyes as he tapped on the phone to reply with an [Mm] . A moment later, he added: [Got it.]
Shi Yao: [Also, thank you for today.]
Shi Yao: [For many things. Thank you.]
Even without elaborating on these words, Lin Jiage understood what she meant.
Like the things he’d bought from W Mall, the bill at Taste of Home, the storm with Qin Yiran, and the trunk of food…
Lin Jiage felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Even his tapping movements on his phone became much gentler as well.
He replied: [It’s nothing.]
He then added: [Goodnight.]
She quickly replied to him with a ‘night’ emoji. He didn’t respond to that, and she didn’t send him any more messages. He placed his phone down and closed his eyes. It didn’t take long for him to drift off into dreamland. He dreamt of her, and in his dream, they were doing a certain indescribable activity. Then, when he finally woke up, he rushed off to the toilet…
…
After responding to Lin Jiage’s message, Shi Yao couldn’t hold back her exhaustion any longer and groggily fell to sleep.
Sometime later, she drifted into a dream.
The dream felt illusory yet real at the same time.
She dreamt of Lin Jiage. She dreamt of Qin Yiran. And more importantly, she dreamt of the trunk which she wanted to possess even in her dreams—one that was filled with all of the food that she loved.
