Shi Yao’s hand shook after hearing Lin Jiage sing, and she nearly dropped her phone to the floor.
At the same time, Han Jing at the other end of the line also fell abruptly silent.
Taking in this scene, Lin Jiage continued to sing heartily with an even louder voice as he devoted even more of his emotions into it, “I could give up my everything, my entirety, for you…”
Han Jing finally recovered from his daze, “Shi Yao, you… you…”
Shi Yao also recovered at this moment. She knew what Han Jing wanted to ask, so she quickly responded before he could finish his words, “I have a friend with me.”
“Oh.” Han Jing waited for a while, but before long, he realized that Shi Yao had no intentions of explaining the matter further. In the end, he said, “So… I’ll be hanging up then.”
“Alright. Good night.”
Seeing that Shi Yao had finally hung up the call, the corners of Lin Jiage’s lips curled up. However, he didn’t stop singing, “A short note of deep sentiments, the endless tales of our shared youth. You are within all of my stories…”
…
The night was long, and time crawled by.
The duo in the room didn’t show the slightest hint of fatigue.
At eight o’clock, [Expert of the Monkeys] @’d [Yao Loves Ice Cream] and [111111] in the [Sexy and Frisky] WeChat group and asked: [Playing? Playing? Playing?]
Ding dong! —Shi Yao’s phone rang.
Ding dong! —Lin Jiage’s phone rang too.
Shi Yao glanced in Lin Jiage’s direction before tapping into her WeChat.
After seeing [Expert of the Monkeys]’s message, [Yao Loves Ice Cream] hesitated for a brief moment before replying: [I can play, but I won’t be able to turn on my voice chat. It isn’t very convenient for me to speak over here.]
Lin Jiage’s phone rang: Ding dong! +1.
[Expert of the Monkeys]: No problem! We can just message each other.
Shi Yao’s phone rang: Ding dong! +1.
Lin Jiage’s phone rang: Ding dong! +2.
Who’s he talking to? Why does he keep getting messages?
Shi Yao turned around to shoot a glance at Lin Jiage as she thought about it. After which, she began fumbling through her bag to search for her earphones, but unable to find it, she could only switch her phone to silent mode before entering the game.
It wasn’t like she’d be able to hit anyone anyway. Even if she did hear footsteps, the revving of a car engine, or the sound of mines triggering, it wasn’t like she could tell where the enemy was…
[Juice] shared a room in the group before he @’ing [111111]: [Boss, are you coming?]
Lin Jiage’s phone rang: Ding dong! +3.
[111111] finally popped up: [I’m coming, but it’s also not convenient for me to speak on my end, so I won’t be able to talk through voice chat.]
[Expert of the Monkeys]: Hehe. Boss, are you telling a cold joke?
Lin Jiage’s phone rang: Ding dong! +4.
[Juice]: When have you ever talked to us in the game?
Lin Jiage’s phone rang: Ding dong! +5
[111111]: …
Shi Yao couldn’t help but take another glance at Lin Jiage.
He must have thought that his ringtone was too conspicuous within the silent room as well—he plugged his earphones back into his phone and stuffed them into his ears.
Silence returned to the room. Shi Yao brought her eyes back to her phone screen.
The game started.
The first round was still normal—they managed to obtain a chicken dinner as per usual.
But the second round…
Not comfortable with her current seating position, Shi Yao changed her posture. There was some distance between her and Lin Jiage, but her changed posture gave Lin Jiage the perfect view of her entire body in his peripheral vision.
As her head was blocking her phone, he couldn’t see what was on her screen. However, that pair of long and slender legs kept creeping its way back into his sight.
