The Beautiful Time With You

After responding to a couple of unread messages, Lin Jiage noted that there was a red dot notification in his Moments page, so he tapped in.

When he finally refreshed his Moments page, the first thing he saw was Xia Shangzhou’s post, uploaded just three minutes ago…

<Expert of the Monkeys>: [I wish to bring you to the romantic Miramar, where we shall chase air drops and flee from poison together. To tell you the truth, I really love Monte Nuevo, which has motorcycles and the 8x CQBSS Scope.]

Attached beneath the message was a screenshot of the gameplay in “PlayerUnknown’s Battleground”. There was a man carrying a lady on a motorcycle, speeding through the desert.

Above the man’s head was the label ‘1’ and above the lady’s was the label ‘2’.

On the upper left corner of the screen, Player 1 was shown to be <Expert of the Monkeys> and Player 2 was shown to be <Yao Loves Ice Cream>.

Beneath the screenshot was a small line of words— [ mentioned ¹ : Yao Loves Ice Cream]

Lin Jiage didn’t frequent the Moments page, but he was rather familiar with the various functions. This meant that Xia Shangzhou had tagged Big White Chubby to the post, reminding her to take a look at it.

Just after Lin Jiage finished reading through it, Xia Shangzhou’s post suddenly received a ‘like’. It was from <Yao Loves Ice Cream>. Soon, a reply popped up from her as well: [The caption isn’t too bad. An original?]

Xia Shangzhou sure was thick-skinned. In order to get likes and responses, he actually made sure to tag Big White Chubby…

With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage scrolled down his Moments page to browse through the other posts.

Roughly sixteen hours ago, Xia Shangzhou had sent another post: [I really want to eat duck blood and vermicelli soup ² …]

There were two rows of likes and roughly ten replies beneath the post ³ .

<Yao Loves Ice Cream> had liked the post as well, and she commented: [I really want to eat it too.]

Xia Shangzhou replied to her comment, and the duo chatted for quite a while over the common topic of duck blood and vermicelli soup, taking up two-thirds of Xia Shangzhou’s total responses for the post.

But in this post, Xia Shangzhou didn’t tag Big White Chubby… Did this mean that Big White Chubby would like and respond the posts in her Moments page even if she wasn’t tagged?

With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage tapped into Xia Shangzhou’s name and began browsing through his Moments page.

While Xia Shangzhou didn’t update his Moments page on a daily basis, he could be considered as one of the more frequent users amongst the male populace. Lin Jiage took a careful look through his Moments page, and he swiftly realized that ever since the two of them added each other on WeChat, most of Xia Shangzhou’s posts had been liked by Big White Chubby, and of these posts, over half of them had her replies…

An inconspicuous frown surfaced on Lin Jiage’s face as he tapped into his own Moments page.

So far, he had only sent a single post: [333333]

There were 78 likes and 45 replies.

Lin Jiage had never paid much attention to this, but in this moment, he swiftly looked through the comments and noted that none of the 45 replies were from [Yao Loves Ice Cream]. He then took a swift look through the profile pictures of those who had liked his post, but Big White Chubby’s profile picture was nowhere to be seen. With a deepening frown, Lin Jiage searched through the list once more. Still nothing. He gave it yet another try… After repeating this process several times, he finally gave up and resigned himself to the fact that [Yao Loves Ice Cream] had never commented on his post or liked it.

But then again, I made this post a long time ago. Back then, me and Big White Chubby weren’t friends yet, so it’s not fair to compare myself with Xia Shangzhou. There are simply too many differences in place, so it’s an invalid comparison!

With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage tapped on the camera icon on his Moments page and pressed on the shutter button ⁴ for a while. After which, he casually typed down a line of characters as a caption: [444444] .
