The Beautiful Time With You - Chapter 261

Chapter 261: Chasing Air Drops and Fleeing From Poison Together (1)

“…”

So, after spending so much effort to guide her, in the end, the only thing on her mind was the bottle of mineral water?

After everything he’d done, his effort wasn’t even worth a 24 RMB bottle of mineral water?

Shi Yao’s messages continued coming in: [And also, that mineral water was stored in a glass bottle. Those cost 24 RMB each!]

[That’s 24 RMB, you know! I know that you were using it to console me, but I can’t help thinking that it’s such a huge waste of 24 RMB! To be honest, I would’ve been much happier if you gave that money to me directly.]

[24 RMB, I can buy three slices of strawberry cake, two cups of milk tea, five bottles of drinks, a huge portion of fried sauce noodles…]

Good lord, how do I continue to chat with this young lady…

Lin Jiage clutched his wounded heart as he typed out: [It’s getting late. Go to sleep.]

After which, he put down his phone, thinking, ‘I’m going to ignore Soft Bun for the next few days, hmph!’

In the next second, his phone screen lit up. Lin Jiage instantly picked up his phone on reflex, and upon seeing the [Alright, goodnight] sent by Shi Yao, his fingers moved on their own accord and sent over a [Goodnight].

Shi Yao didn’t respond anymore. Before Lin Jiage put his phone back down, he took a look at the time and noted that it was almost two in the morning.

He pulled his blanket over his body, preparing to go to sleep. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, the message that Shi Yao failed to interpret surfaced in his mind.

How could she so keenly grasp the portion about Liang Mumu and yet be so clueless about the portion referring to me?

With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage flipped to his side.

How can she have the audacity to say that she’s smart? How in the world is she smart? She’s clearly as dumb as a pig!

Lin Jiage flipped again to the other side.

Also, is there something wrong with my brain? How could I follow her lead and agree that she’s smart, even if it was just in my mind?

Lin Jiage had no idea how many times he flipped and turned over on his bed, but in any case, until the moment he finally drifted off to sleep, his heart was filled with nothing but irritation. He kept wanting to pick up his phone and call her to scream, “You dimwit!” into her ears.

…

Shi Yao had no idea whether she had stayed awake past her drowsiness point or whether it was due to her conversation with Lin Jiage, but after she put down her phone and closed her eyes, she found herself unable to sleep.

Even with her eyes closed, she could only see complete chaos in front of her. The conversation she had with Lin Jiage just now kept flashing across her mind.

The more she thought about it, the faster her heart leaped. It was the same feeling she got when she received a message from Lin Jiage.

Her other roommates were all asleep, so the dormitory room was very silent. So silent that she could hear her heart pounding loudly.

She placed her hand on her chest as she thought about the messages she had exchanged with Lin Jiage for the nth time. Eventually, she couldn’t help but dive into her blanket and secretly giggle.

Shi Yao had no idea how many times she thought about her conversation with Lin Jiage, but up to the moment that she finally dozed off, her mind was completely filled with his words. Her heart was still beating fast, and her lips remained curled up.

…

As mid-May drifted by, the weather swiftly grew hotter.

In the afternoon, the domineering sun glared furiously upon the school. A swift glance in the area, and it seemed that the school had been emptied out. There was barely a person in sight.

Having just completed a project, Lin Jiage switched off his laptop and stretched his body lazily. He casually grabbed a bottle of Mai Dong, twisted it open, and took two sips. After which, he picked up his phone.

After responding to a couple of unread messages, Lin Jiage noted that there was a red dot notification in his Moments page, so he tapped in.

When he finally refreshed his Moments page, the first thing he saw was a certain post uploaded just three minutes ago…
