The Beautiful Time With You - Chapter 169

Chapter 169: If We Round Off Your Height, You’ll Be Roughly The Same Size As Me, 2 Meters (1)

“It’s a good thing that she’s thin, so you happen to fit her size too.” This sentence, she could still accept.

But—”My sis is a lot taller than you.” Surely it wouldn’t have made a difference if he left that out!

It wouldn’t even affect the message he was trying to express!

Shi Yao’s cheeks puffed up in anger as she shot back furiously, “I admit that Sis Jiayi is really tall, but I’m not short either!”

Sis Jiayi was just exceptionally tall, okay? At a height of 1.75m, Sis Jiayi was taller than most men. That, paired with her disposition, formed such a striking image that you couldn’t help wanting to kneel before her and call her queen…

In the face of Shi Yao’s explanation, Lin Jiage looked at her slender figure from head to toe before silently starting the car engine.

Lin Jiage’s assessing gaze and silent response made Shi Yao feel as if he was inwardly saying, “There’s no need to debate the truth.” The car drove out of the parking lot, but Shi Yao was unwilling to take his comment lying down. She said indignantly, “I’m really not short! In the world of girls, my height can already be considered as not that bad!”

“Right, right, right, you’re not short. If we round off your height, you’ll be roughly the same size as me, two meters tall…” Lin Jiage replied lazily as he paid the parking toll.

“…” For a moment, Shi Yao was so choked up that she had no idea how to respond.

How could there be someone like this in the world? He’s appealing to the eye when his mouth stays shut; like a beautiful piece of scenery that you’d never get tired of seeing. But as soon as his lips start moving, it’s as if he’d die if he didn’t choke someone to death with his words.

He’s the very embodiment of that internet slang ‘staying single through one’s own capability’…

Hm? Why does that sound so familiar? I feel like I’ve heard or said it somewhere before…

Grasping onto the feeling of deja vu, Shi Yao tilted her head as she swiftly ran through her memory, and she suddenly recalled a certain Mister Numbers’ venomous tongue…

Particularly with Mister Numbers'”Yes yes yes” from last night. It was in the exact same tone as Lin Jiage’s…

Thinking about it now, there were indeed many similarities between Mister Numbers and Lin Jiage… Could they possibly be the same person?

Ah… Surely we wouldn’t be so fated to each other? That kind of plotline only happens in novels. It’s not like I’m the female lead of a story…

…

It was already late at night, and most restaurants had already closed. So, Shi Yao brought Lin Jiage to the most famous food street in Beijing.

The entire street was filled with crayfish stores.

A second before, Lin Jiage was still parking his car. A second later, Shi Yao was already introducing the place to him as they got down from the car. “From here until the end of the street, there are a total of 48 crayfish stores. Let’s go and eat at Taste of Home; they have the best crayfish here!”

48 crayfish stores… Miss, are you so free that you come in the middle of the night to count the number of crayfish stores they have here?

Lin Jiage didn’t reject Shi Yao’s suggestion, but he casually dropped her a remark, “You seem to be rather familiar with this area.”

Completely oblivious to the fact that Lin Jiage was teasing her, Shi Yao took Lin Jiage’s words at face value and nodded earnestly, “Of course! I always come here for supper, you know. I know this entire street from back to front, and I have the wifi password of every single store here!”

As if fearing that Lin Jiage would think that she was just boasting, she even took out her phone to show him her wifi connection, saying, “See, the wifi connection changes by itself! I even have the passwords saved in my phone. This one too…”

To have his teasing remark so earnestly responded to, it was the first time Lin Jiage found himself choked speechless by Shi Yao.

Alright, Miss. I admit it. If you ever claimed that you’re second when it comes to food, I bet that no one would be conceited enough to claim that he’s first.

They reached Taste of Home, and since Lin Jiage was with her, Shi Yao ‘extravagantly’ opted for the compartment seats.

PS: Writing till here, I suddenly remember a friend who could connect to the wifi of every single store along Beijing’s Ghost Street!
