Lin Jiage gulped down another bottle of wine before whipping out his phone and searching for Shi Yao's phone number.
He stared at the screen for a moment, and as if he had made a huge decision, his fingers swiftly tapped on the screen a few times before sending a message over: [I like you, Shi Yao.]
She was the first woman he had fallen in love with, and she was also the first woman he had fallen in love with.
He had to admit that the confession he hadn't been able to make in time had been stifled by her words of annulment, and he had thought that he should just let it go …
But …
On the second day, he was thinking: Should I just let it go?
On the third day, he was thinking: If I really let it go, what will I do in the future?
…
At this very moment, he was thinking: I can't just let it go, I can't just let it go. I like her so much that I want to marry her. If I just let it go, what will I do in the rest of my life?
He couldn't be bothered to figure out whether it was the wine that emboldened him or the wine that allowed him to see his truest thoughts. All he knew was that those words had been bottled up in his heart for far too long, and he wanted to tell her. Even though he knew that she didn't like him and that he would be rejected, he still had to say them.
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage's fingers moved once more: "I want to climb the highest mountain with you, drink the strongest alcohol …"
"I want to travel to the furthest territory with you, take the longest train ride …"
"I want to …"
…
Leng Nuan didn't return home during the summer vacation. She had stayed in Beijing to work, and today happened to be her birthday. Of the four roommates in the dormitory, Shi Yao was the only one from Beijing. Thus, she had specially traveled from the suburbs to the city to celebrate her birthday with Leng Nuan.
However, on her way here, her mother had asked her to bring some free-range eggs for the Lin Family.
By the time she finished dinner with Leng Nuan, it was already around eight in the evening. It was fortunate that she and Leng Nuan lived close to the Lin Family, so there wasn't much traffic. She flagged a taxi, and it didn't take long for them to arrive.
Over the past few days, she had sent Lin Jiage two messages, but she hadn't received any reply from him. So, after she arrived at the Lin Residence, she greeted Sis Jiayi and asked if Lin Jiage was around. She wanted to see if he was at home and ask him about the matter regarding the annulment of the engagement.
But who knew that even after searching for a long time, Lin Jiage was nowhere to be found …
So what if she couldn't find him? Shi Yao didn't think too much of it, but Lin Jiayi didn't seem to have the slightest intention of giving up. Not only did she search through the toilet bowl, she even searched through the trash can …
Seeing that the places Lin Jiayi was looking for were getting more and more bizarre, Shi Yao couldn't help but remind her, "Sis Jiayi, you can't hide anyone in those places …"
"Really?" Lin Jiayi asked as she removed the flush cover from the toilet bowl. She took a look inside and said, "Yaoyao, you're right. It's impossible to hide someone in these places, but … Lin Jiage isn't a human!"
"Yao Yao, let me tell you, I will dig three feet deep to find him, don't you know, he is insulting me!"
"We've been playing hide-and-seek ever since we were young, and I've never won against him even once. He's definitely provoking me … I don't believe that I won't be able to win even once …"
"Yaoyao, wait patiently. I'll give my employees a call and have them work overtime to find Lin Jiage for me. I don't believe that I won't be able to find him even if I turn Beijing upside down …"
