The Beautiful Time With You

He casually tapped the “99+” notifications labeled on his messages and quickly browsed through the unread ones. They were confessions of all forms and sizes, all coming from unknown numbers.

Just as he was about to back out of the messages menu, he caught sight of two words—Shi Yao.

She had sent him another message…

Lin Jiage hesitated for a moment, but he eventually chose to tap in. Following which, he saw a message identical to the one he read last night:  [When do you plan on telling your family that our engagement is canceled?]

She sure was in a hurry to cancel their engagement…

Lin Jiage stared at the screen, his eyebrows knitted together.

“Boss, we’re already online. You’re the only one left.”

“Boss, why aren’t you online yet?”

“Boss, what are you looking at?”

Having urged Lin Jiage several times, Xia Shangzhou realized that he was still staring at his phone screen, not moving at all. Perplexed, he couldn’t help but stand up and head over to Lin Jiage’s side.

However, after catching a glance at Lin Jiage’s screen, Xia Shangzhou exclaimed in astonishment, “Boss, which girl messaged you that you need to stare at it for so long?”

That loud exclamation abruptly brought Lin Jiage back to his senses. He swiftly backed out from the messages menu and tapped into the game.

“Boss, I didn’t get a good look at that message, but I saw that you replied to her. For you to actually reply to a girl, what’s your relationship with her? More importantly, how far have you gone with her?”

Facing Xia Shangzhou’s torrent of questions, Lin Jiage shot him a sideways glance and asked, “Are you still playing or not? If not, I’ll just go back to watching my movie…”

“I’m playing, of course I’m going to play.” Fearing that Lin Jiage would change his mind, Xia Shangzhou quickly ran back to his table and added Lin Jiage’s [111111] into the team.

…

After dinner, He Tiantian suggested that the group should watch a movie.

However, Shi Yao remembered that she had a game appointment with [Expert of the Monkeys], so she turned down He Tiantian’s suggestion.

On the other hand, Leng Nuan and Jiang Yue had no objections, so after dressing up a bit, they left together.

Thus, the average-sized dormitory room was only left with Shi Yao, and it felt a little cold.

Biting into an apple, Shi Yao tapped into the game out of boredom.

[Expert of the Monkeys] and [Juice] weren’t online yet, so Shi Yao selected the Solo mode.

However, her fate was no different from the first nine rounds she played last night. As soon as she landed on the ground, she was already box-ified.

After Shi Yao’s third round, [Expert of the Monkeys] finally came online and invited her into his team.

Without any hesitation, Shi Yao accepted the invitation.

By the time she entered the room, [Juice] was already inside.

She waited for a while, but the host, [Expert of the Monkeys], still didn’t start the game. Thus, she turned on the microphone.

She wanted to ask, “Why aren’t you starting the game?”

However, before she could even speak, she heard [Expert of the Monkeys]’s voice on the other end, “Boss, what are you looking at?”

“Boss, which girl messaged you that you need to stare at it for so long?”

“Boss, I didn’t get a good look at that message, but I saw that you replied to her. For you to actually reply to a girl, what’s your relationship with her? More importantly, how far have you gone with her?”
