She wanted to thank Lin Jiage, but she found that her fingers were trembling intensely. So, she took deep breaths, one after another. It took a lot of effort before she managed to calm her heart and shaking fingers to type out:?[Thank you, Lin Jiage.]

Lin Jiage’s response consisted of a few more words this time around:?[It’s only right for me to do so.]

Only right for him to do so?

How is it only right for him to comfort me when I’m feeling dejected?

Frowning, Shi Yao was just about to ask him about it when another message arrived on her phone:?[We’re friends.]

This means that… Lin Jiage thinks of me as a friend?

Her impression of him had never been too good. She felt that he was always putting on airs and looked down on her. But maybe it was due to their recent interactions, but she found that he was actually not too bad as a person. For example, he’d treated her to several meals by now, and all the good food he received during his confessions he would dump to her as trash…

Even if they were going to cancel their engagement very soon, it didn’t seem too bad to become friends either.

Besides, making a new friend is a joyous affair in itself.

With this thought in mind, Shi Yao’s eyes curled up as she replied:?[At first, I was really upset that I lost a friend, but now that I’ve gained a new one, it doesn’t seem so bad anymore.]

Before Lin Jiage could reply, Shi Yao had already typed out a new message:?[By the way, your way of consoling people is really weird. Breaking a glass bottle and saying that ‘once the water is spilled, things will never go back to how they were’. You’re lucky that I’m smart. If it were anyone else, they would’ve never guessed what you were talking about.]

…

Upon receiving Shi Yao’s two long messages, Lin Jiage read every word earnestly before going over them in his mind.

Who in the world would praise herself as smart? But well, Soft Bun is indeed quite smart to see through my hint—she understands all the effort I put in for her.

But… why did she only bring up the hint about the broken glass bottle and not the cut on the coat?

Did she fail to grasp that cutting the coat was another hint?

He was referring to that incident from when they were kids, how he’d vented his rage on her after learning that his grandfather had engaged him to her. He’d said a lot of hurtful words back then…

What he was trying to say was that while Liang Mumu’s actions were unforgivable, his were different. Through some stitches here and there, his actions were still forgivable.

Thus, Lin Jiage pondered for a moment before asking in a roundabout way:[Other than that, is there anything else you’d like to say?]

Shi Yao was probably holding her phone in her hand because her reply came swiftly:?[I’m very pleased to be your friend.]

Who in the world wants to hear those words…?Besides, he wasn’t really intending to be her friend. He had accidentally texted, “It’s only right for me to do so” earlier, so he could only use that as an excuse to ease the awkward situation…

Lin Jiage took a deep breath and patiently typed once more:?[Other than that?]

Shi Yao:?[Your two roommates are really good at singing.]

Lin Jiage immediately raised his head and glanced at the deeply asleep Xia Shangzhou and Lu Benlai. All of a sudden, he felt the urge to suffocate them in their sleep with a blanket.

Taking another deep breath, Lin Jiage was still unwilling to give up:?[Anything more?]

Shi Yao:?[Nothing else.]

So, she really didn’t get my other hint?

As this thought flashed through Lin Jiage’s head, another message from Shi Yao came in:?[But…]

Hope immediately sprouted in Lin Jiage’s heart as he waited expectantly with bated breath.

Rough ten seconds later, Shi Yao’s message came in:?[It’s such a huge pity about the spilled mineral water!]
