…
Shi Yao honestly believed that the person on the other end wasn’t Lin Jiage.
However, given that a phone was a private possession, he probably wouldn’t allow it to fall into the hands of an outsider.
Thus, when she saw those two words ‘You think?’, a thought surfaced in her mind—Grandpa Lin.
Perhaps Lin Jiage wasn’t near his phone, and Grandpa Lin happened to see the message she had sent, so he was jokingly replying to her…
Shi Yao had planned on typing [Grandpa Lin?], but she accidentally tapped on the send button before she could finish her sentence.
By the time she realized her error, she hurriedly composed a message to explain herself. However, just when she was done typing [You’re Grandpa Lin], a call suddenly came in.
It’s from Lin Jiage…
Afraid that she would interrupt her roommate’s rest, she nimbly got off her bed and headed out of the room before picking up.
In the instant that she picked up the phone, she heard Lin Jiage’s voice, “Who did you say is your grandpa?”
Shi Yao’s hand shook, and her phone nearly fell to the ground.
“I’m only two years older than you, so how on earth did I become your grandpa?”
Apparently, she wasn’t texting Grandpa Lin after all…
Shi Yao quickly responded, “S-s-sorry. I-I thought that it was Grandpa Lin on the other end…”
“Grandfather’s phone number is…” Lin Jiage began reciting a string of numbers.
Shi Yao was so choked by his sudden call that she couldn’t speak a word. With a reddened face, she was silent for a long time before she said meekly, “I didn’t do it on purpose. Your previous messages didn’t seem like something you would send. After all, you’re usually quite reserved and proud, and you treat people coldly like they owe you two hundred bucks. T-that’s why I thought that you were Grandpa Lin.”
“If you think that you owe me two hundred bucks, you should hurry up and hand it over!”
Once again, Shi Yao was choked speechless by Lin Jiage’s words.
The phone was silent for roughly thirty seconds before Lin Jiage cleared his throat, and his tone had mellowed down significantly from before, “I’m just joking with you.”
Your joke isn’t really funny … Shi Yao only dared to speak these words in the depths of her heart.
Lin Jiage was silent for a little while longer before he spoke up once more, “Well, didn’t you say that you have something to tell me? What is it?”
Shi Yao suddenly recalled the purpose of her messages, and she quickly replied, “I told my roommate about our betrothal as children.”
“Orh.”
Orh? What does that mean? Is he unhappy? After all, he did warn me not to mention it to others… Shi Yao pondered for a moment before confessing honestly, “I-I tried to hide it from them, but after that thread you posted, my roommates kept interrogating me. They were really too much, they held an apple right in front me and wouldn’t let me eat it. I-I couldn’t hold back anymore, so I ended up telling them…”
Sigh, there was nothing she could do either. She never did have any resistance when it came to good food. It was only after she finished eating the apple that her heart started leaping in anxiety, so she eventually looked for him to explain what happened…
With such thoughts in mind, Shi Yao continued with more confidence, “… But, you don’t have to worry. So far, only my roommates know about it. I already warned them not to talk about it with other people, and you can be assured that no one will hear me say your name!”
She had already said so much, but Lin Jiage still remained deathly silent.
Eventually, Shi Yao had no idea what else she could say, so she decided to stay silent as well.
The silence wrapped around them for a very long time. Unable to tolerate such a situation, Shi Yao asked meekly, “Are you unhappy? I’m sorry.”
