By the time Shi Yao reached home, it was already close to midnight.
It was already very late, so after taking a shower, she went straight to bed, intending to sleep.
She had walked quite a distance during the day, so she was already feeling sleepy in the car. But now that she was lying on the bed, she found herself unable to fall asleep.
She had no idea what was going on with her, but when she closed her eyes, she suddenly recalled Lin Jiage's appearance when she turned around to look at him.
When they met in the morning, he seemed to be in a good mood. In fact, when they were climbing up the mountain, he even took care of her like a gentleman.
Why did he suddenly become like that after dinner?
Shi Yao carefully replayed the events that had taken place during dinner. It seemed like after she said that Grandpa Lin was feigning his illness and that they could call off their engagement, he started acting a little weird.
Could it be that it was because … because …
Shi Yao was shocked by the next thought that came to her mind.
Did she eat a bear's heart or a leopard's gall? To think that Lin Jiage would actually be unhappy because she proposed to call off their engagement …
It was true that he wasn't as hateful toward her as before. In fact, he seemed to be treating her pretty well, and there were even times when his actions moved her a little … But that didn't mean that he didn't want to call off their engagement …
She recalled the words he had said back then … Those words that had made her feel inferior for a very long period of time.
"I don't want to! This ugly, dirty, and shabby lass, I don't want her to be my fiancée!
"Your identity as my fiancée was acknowledged by my grandfather. As for me, don't even think about it. I'll never acknowledge you as my fiancée for the rest of my life.
"Thus, I'll leave my words here for you. Listen carefully, I — Lin Jiage. If. I. Don't. Break. Off. Our. Engagement. Will. Write. My. Name. Backward!"
Shi Yao pursed her lips as she burrowed her head deeper into the blanket, trying to conceal the sadness that was welling up in her heart.
She must have been muddle-headed from exhaustion to have such thoughts … How could Lin Jiage possibly think of getting involved with her? Perhaps he was thinking about how he should bring her to his family for a showdown, or perhaps he was thinking about something else that was bothering him …
…
G University male dormitory, Room 501.
"It's already 12, but our boss isn't back yet. It looks like he's not going to return …" Lu Benlai remarked as he played his game.
"I always thought that other than that bastard Song Chaoxi, among the three of us, I would be the first to stop being single, and Boss would be the last, but I didn't expect Boss to be the first …" Xia Shangzhou's fingers quickly tapped on the phone screen. "… Xiao Lailai, there's a Voldemort on the left, hit him!"
"I saw it, I saw it. He's dead, he's dead …" Lu Benlai finished reloading his gun before continuing Xia Shangzhou's words, "… I share the same thoughts as you, but I think that I'm the first of the three of us to leave our singlehood, and our boss will be the last. Sigh, it's really hard to predict!"
Xia Shangzhou sighed. "Alas, the two of us will be alone in Dormitory 501 from now on …"
Lu Benlai: "In the blink of an eye, two of my roommates have already married off. This room feels so empty. I'm finally experiencing the feeling of marrying off one's daughter …"
