The Beautiful Time With You - Chapter 124
Chapter 124: Please Call Me Professor, Bolded and Underlined (2)
Han Jing: “Shi Yao, I just found out about the rumors on the forum, and I made a post to clear things up for you.”
Shi Yao: “I just saw it. Thank you, Senior Han.”
“There’s no need to be so formal with me.” Han Jing paused for a moment before asking with a gentle voice, “That… Shi Yao, are you feeling okay?”
Shi Yao knew that Han Jing was referring to the rumors on the forum, so she replied, “I’m fine.”
“It’s good to hear that…” After saying those words, Han Jing paused for a long moment before calling her name, “Shi Yao…”
“Hm?” Shi Yao replied. After a long while, there was still no response from Han Jing, so she asked once more, “Senior Han?”
“I…” Han Jing fell silent after saying that single word. Actually, he wanted to ask her if Lin Jiage was the one singing beside her on the night she called, but he couldn’t muster the courage to ask the question. He struggled internally for a long moment but eventually chose to give up altogether. “… It’s nothing. I still have a class to go to, so I’ll be hanging up first. Bye.”
“Bye, Senior Han.”
After hanging up the phone, Shi Yao glanced at her three roommates huddling together as they browsed through the forum excitedly. Without saying a word, she lay down and closed her eyes, intending to make up for her lack of sleep.
Her overwhelming fatigue was causing her temples to ache in pain. Yet, when she closed her eyes, she found herself unable to fall asleep.
Her entire mind was filled with the words Lin Jiage had written on the forum.
Shi Yao had no idea how long her mind wandered around for before she was finally able to drift off into sleep.
She was woken up by the fragrance of a meal. Her three roommates had brought back some dishes from the canteen, and they were currently eating around a table while discussing the happenings on the forum with a phone in their hands.
Shi Yao climbed out of bed and saw that there was a portion for her on the table as well. She swiftly dived into the bathroom and washed up, then tore open a packet of wooden chopsticks and started digging in alongside the others.
“That Slaughter Lü Bu Bang Diao Chan is giving me a huge headache. She just posted another thread flaming Yaoyao.”
“I saw that too! She said that Yaoyao looks uglier than Qin Yiran, and Lin Jiage has bad taste. Hah, all of Qin Yiran’s photos have been photoshopped while Yaoyao’s photo was taken using a camera phone, so it’s a given that the quality will be much lower. The fact that it still looks decent on a forum is already more than enough to prove that she’s a knockout in real life, so how can you compare the two?”
“What? Did that guy just say that Qin Yiran looks younger than Yaoyao even though she’s three years older? How can this guy lie so shamelessly? How does our Yaoyao look like an auntie?”
“Heck, I can feel that guy’s malicious jealousy even across the screen!”
“Yaoyao, can you stop eating and pay more attention to what’s happening around you? Even we’re feeling bad for you!”
“I’ll be done soon.” Shi Yao raised her head and responded with four words before burying herself among her food once more.
After she was done, she threw her food container into the rubbish bin and cleared up the table before grabbing her phone and entering the school forum.
She quickly skimmed through the thread that her roommates were talking about. Most of the responses were about how her appearance was nowhere on par with Qin Yiran, and that Lin Jiage must be blind for choosing her. There were also those that went even more overboard, saying that her photos could be used for warding off evil, and they had no idea how Lin Jiage could bring himself to kiss her without puking…
Seeing that Shi Yao was looking through the forum too, He Tiantian hurriedly went up to her and complained, “Yaoyao, do you see that? Those people are really too much! This is unacceptable!”
