"… I just think that your happiness is more important."
So, if you want freedom, I'll give it to you, even if I have to let go of your hand.
Even though I've put in a lot of thought in order to be together with you, there's one thought that has never changed — I really like you.
Even though there were some words that Lin Jiage didn't say out loud, Shi Yao understood them.
She understood the grievances that Lin Jiage had hidden behind those words.
She understood that Lin Jiage had proposed to annul the engagement for the sake of her happiness.
In her opinion, the happiest thing in a person's life was to meet someone who would never abandon them.
There was a sentence that she'd wanted to say in a moment of desperation in the office that afternoon, but she hadn't been able to do so. She'd wanted to say the same thing at night, but she'd run away out of embarrassment. Yet, at this very moment, these words flowed naturally from Shi Yao's lips, "Lin Jiage …"
"Hmm?"
"I like you."
There was a long moment of silence on the other end of the phone before the same words as before sounded once more. However, the tone had changed from a question to a statement, "Hmm."
"I've never confessed to a boy before, so I don't know how to do it. In the afternoon, there were some things that I wanted to say, but I didn't know how to say them. In fact, no matter what I said this afternoon or how I refused to let you go, I only have one reason, and that is that I like you … like you, like you, seriously like you."
"Perhaps I'm a little slow on the uptake, or perhaps I'm a little lacking in confidence and fear, but in any case, I'm late. I'm sorry, Lin Jiage, for making you wait for so long …"
Even though she was speaking to Lin Jiage through the phone instead of face-to-face like in the afternoon, she still couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed to reveal all of her thoughts to him. So, before Lin Jiage could respond, she hurriedly took the phone away from her ear and hung up.
It didn't take long for Lin Jiage to call back.
Shi Yao didn't pick up the call. Instead, she shrunk deeper into the blanket with a reddened face.
A second later, the phone lit up. Lin Jiage had stopped calling and sent a message instead: [You're not late.]
[As long as you're willing to come, it's never too late.]
Shi Yao didn't reply to Lin Jiage's message, but after burying her face in the blanket, she couldn't help but giggle.
He Tiantian was sleeping on the bed opposite Shi Yao, and upon seeing Shi Yao's reaction, she couldn't help but tease, "The current Yaoyao is reeking of love from head to toe!"
"Of course not!" Shi Yao raised her head and refuted He Tiantian.
A second later, Shi Yao spoke up once more, "Even if there is, it would be the smell of freshly baked meat!"
After saying those words, Shi Yao rubbed her tummy and said, "Speaking of the words' freshly baked 'really makes me want to eat bread …"
Speaking up to this point, Shi Yao couldn't help but sigh deeply. "If I were in Lin Jiage's house, if he were here, if I had said those words just now, I would surely be eating freshly baked bread in less than two hours …"
He Tiantian burped loudly.
Jiang Yue sighed. "I'm so full!"
Perplexed, Shi Yao looked at He Tiantian before turning to look at Jiang Yue. In the end, her gaze finally fell on Leng Nuan.
