The Beautiful Time With You - Chapter 321

Chapter 321: Poisoned Down to the Very Bones (1)

As if not hearing Liang Jiusi’s words, Lin Jiage continued staring unblinkingly at the young lady, and as he stared and stared, two words escaped from his lips, “It’s over…”

“What?” Liang Jiusi was completely confused by Lin Jiage’s words. “What’s over?”

However, Lin Jiage was too absorbed in his own thoughts to pay attention to Liang Jiusi.

He withdrew his gaze from the young lady and whipped out his phone. Tapping into his Gallery, he scrolled down to find the photo he shot of Shi Yao biting down on a crimson apple from back then…

With just one glance, he found that his heart—which had remained still when gazing at the young lady earlier—had begun leaping back into life once more.

He had stared at the young lady for so long in order to find that feeling from before, but to no avail. And yet, that feeling came to him so easily from a mere still photo…

Lin Jiage raised his hand and lightly pressed it against his chest in order to feel the beating of his heart. His mouth began moving once more, softly muttering the same words he’d said earlier, “It’s over, it’s over, it’s really over…”

“Brother Jia, what are you talking about? I don’t get what you’re trying to say! What do you mean ‘it’s over’? And what are you looking at?” As Liang Jiusi spoke, he leaned forward to catch a closer glimpse at Lin Jiage’s phone screen, but the screen switched off right before his eyes.

On the other hand, Lin Jiage was still too deeply affected to care about his surroundings. Words continued to pour softly from his mouth, “I’ve been poisoned, I’ve really been poisoned…”

“Poisoned?” Liang Jiusi’s voice hiked up several notches. “What do you mean ‘you’ve been poisoned’? You still look perfectly fine to me…”

“Soft Bun…” Lin Jiage softly muttered two words.

His voice was too quiet for Liang Jiusi to clearly catch all of it, so he only heard the last word, “Bun? What bun? You want to eat a bun? What kind of filling do you want? I can get it for you right now…”

In the middle of Liang Jiusi’s seemingly endless prattling, Lin Jiage’s lips moved once more, “Song Chaoxi is right. She’s right. All of them are right…”

Song Chaoxi told him that the most direct proof of a man’s feelings toward a person he liked was the urge to sleep with her.

Soft Bun told him that his actions were clear signs that he liked her…

Back then, his only thought was that if they were going to insist that he liked her, then so be it.

It was only at this very moment that it dawned on him that they were all right. He did like her… It was a feeling of fondness that came from the very depths of his heart.

He really did like Soft Bun… Even though he had no idea when this feeling started, there was no denying that he really liked her…

Even though he’d realized it a little late, his feelings for her definitely existed.

At this point, Lin Jiage couldn’t help mumbling under his breath, “… I’ve really fallen for Soft Bun’s poison now…”

“What? You’ve fallen for some bun poison? Did the filling go bad because of the hot weather, so you got food poisoning? If that’s the case, you should really go to the hospital to do a checkup…” Liang Jiusi started rambling incessantly again.

With this, Lin Jiage finally managed to fish himself out from his sea of thoughts. The first thing he was made aware of was Liang Jiusi’s endless nagging. With a slight frown on his forehead, he tossed behind an “I’m leaving” before decisively walking out of the compartment, completely disregarding Liang Jiusi’s questions.

He walked along the roadside to get to his car, and once inside, he ended up blanking out for a while. He then stepped on the accelerator and started driving aimlessly around night-time Beijing.

He didn’t notice where he was heading to exactly, but by the time he became aware of his surroundings once more, the tall buildings by the roadside were already sparse, and the illumination had turned visibly darker. It took him a short moment to realize that he had already driven out of the city, quickly making his way to Shi Yao’s home.
