Xia Shangzhou was stunned for a moment. With a look of disbelief on his face, he pointed to himself and asked, “Is this for me?”

On the other hand, Lu Benlai bit his lips in envy and exclaimed, “Boss, why did you only buy one for Old Xia and not me?”

Ignoring Lu Benlai completely, Lin Jiage directed a nod at Xia Shangzhou.

“This shows that I have a place in Boss’s heart…” Xia Shangzhou boasted gleefully as he opened up the plastic bag that Lin Jiage had tossed onto the table. In it, he saw a bottle of shampoo and handwash, a pair of socks, and a?towel. He froze on the spot for a long moment before he slowly turned his eyes toward Lin Jiage and asked, “... Boss, why did you get me some daily necessities instead of a pack of smokes?”

“These are the things you bought for me previously. I’m returning them back to you…” After saying those words, Lin Jiage lowered his gaze for a moment to conceal the emotions in his eyes before continuing on with his usual steady and composed voice, “... Other than changing Room 501’s menu, there’s another thing I’d like to say. From now on, I won’t be joining you guys in your games with Yao Loves Ice Cream anymore.”

After saying what he had to say, Lin Jiage walked over to his seat and sat down.

On the other hand, Xia Shangzhou and Lu Benlai were taken aback by his statement.

They stared at each other with a complicated expression for a long while before turning to look at Lin Jiage with uncanny harmony. At this moment, the latter was leaning back against his chair, staring intently at the pitch-black laptop screen before him, seemingly deep in thought.

Lu Benlai: “Boss, it’s just a game. There’s no need to go that far.”

Xia Shangzhou: “Yeah. There’s no harm in playing together with her, right?”

Lu Benlai: “Besides, the four of us happen to form a complete team together. We can’t do without you.”

Lin Jiage remained completely motionless at the duo’s persuasion, but at some point in time, perhaps it was due to his mood suddenly turning sour or he was irritated by their incessant utterings, but he finally turned his head around and snapped impatiently, “I said that I won’t be playing with her anymore! I mean what I say. If I ever play with Yao Loves Ice Cream again, I’ll be a dog!”

Xia Shangzhou and Lu Benlai could tell that Lin Jiage was perfectly serious, so neither of them dared to say anything anymore.

In an instant, the dormitory room was plunged into silence.

Without bothering to spare a glance at the duo, Lin Jiage lay on his seat for a moment longer before fishing out his phone. He tapped into WeChat, searched for <Yao Loves Ice Cream>’s account, and decisively added her into his blacklist.

He stared at the confirmation popup window for a while before finally pressing down on the ‘Yes’ button. After which, he tossed his phone to the side before rising up from his seat and heading to the balcony.

Is this reluctance that I’m feeling?

It feels like it... But no matter how reluctant I am, this is something that I have to do... Soft Bun already told me to my face that she’d be upset, and I’ll never let her be upset... Never...

...

Dinner, the trio from Room 501 ate together. As it was Sunday, following Lin Jiage’s previous declaration, the delicacy they were feasting on tonight was hot and sour noodles.

Even after a long round of struggling and thrashing about, they only managed to finish a fifth of the entire portion of hot and sour noodles. Eventually, they had no choice but to dump the remainder into the trash can.

Shortly after they were done eating, <Yao Loves Ice Cream> shouted for them on the <Sexy and Frisky> chat group to play.

Before starting, Lu Benlai still couldn’t help but turn to Lin Jiage and ask, “Boss, are you really not coming?”

Seeing that Lin Jiage had no intention of responding to him, he finally started the game with Xia Shangzhou and Yao Loves Ice Cream.

Before entering the game, Xia Shangzhou said, “Boss has something to do today, so he won’t be playing with us.”

Lin Jiage heard those words from his chair, and his fingers couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

He could tell that Xia Shangzhou was replying to Yao Loves Ice Cream’s question...

Lin Jiage flipped open his laptop, intending to start on his project. However, Xia Shangzhou and Lu Benlai’s voices kept sounding non-stop.

“Sis Yao, there’s a Level 3 Helmet here. Come!”

“Sis Yao, hide!”

“Sis Yao…”

Lin Jiage tried to filter out their voices, but no matter how hard he tried, he simply couldn’t bring himself to focus at all. In the end, he put on his earphones and went into the game too.

He chose to enter a Squad match as well, but he didn’t form a team, choosing to go solo instead.

For three matches straight, he found himself swiftly box-ified after the start of the game.

So, in the fourth match, he chose a remote area to land in, but after parachuting down, even he had no idea what was occupying his mind. By the time his attention had finally returned to the game, the poison was already creeping on him.

He had no time to gear up anymore. It was more urgent for him to flee into the safe zone first. Thus, after swiftly scanning his surroundings, he was just about to find a car when a gunshot suddenly rang out. Following which, he collapsed onto the ground and turned into a box. A line of red words appeared on his screen:?<Yao Loves Ice Cream> killed <111111> with M416.

Beep beep beep.
