The Beautiful Time With You

He stared at the ceiling for a very long time before he came to his senses.

He couldn’t quite remember the first time he’d met Soft Bun anymore. The only distinct memory that he retained was how much he hated the girl who had abruptly barged into his life.

In truth, he couldn’t really remember how she looked like back then. The only impression she’d left on him was her scrawny frame and yellowish hair, reminiscent of an emaciated countryside bumpkin.

Ever since he warned her not to intrude into his life, it seemed like other than being forced to bear their engagement, she really hadn’t disturbed his life at all.

And such was their relationship until a very long time later, when they both met in an elevator at the SKP Mall.

That day, he really hadn’t recognized who she was. In fact, even after Liang Mumu said that she was Shi Yao, he still felt dubious about it.

However, it didn’t seem like he had paid much attention to her back then. All he thought was that she was rather pretty.

If his grandfather hadn’t fallen ill all of a sudden, they probably wouldn’t have as many interactions between them.

It should be around that time that Yao Loves Ice Cream walked into his life as well.

Thinking about it now, it sure was coincidental. Shortly after learning that Yao Loves Ice Cream was a glutton from her Moments page, he brought Soft Bun to one of Liang Jiusi’s gatherings to appease his grandfather. There, he heard her singing three songs, all related to food. Through that, he learned that Soft Bun was a glutton too.

That very same night, he saw Soft Bun being mocked by others. Looking at her distressed state, he couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable. In order to take her out of that awkward situation, he kissed her. Then, two days later, when Yao Loves Ice Cream was being teased by others in the game, he inexplicably found himself stepping forward to help her as well, just like he’d helped Soft Bun back at the Golden Resplendence too.

Most likely, the curtains were raised from that day.

It was clear that Yao Loves Ice Cream was Yao Loves Ice Cream whereas Shi Yao was Shi Yao, but somehow, the two of them could easily trigger the same emotions within him… And those emotions were so completely similar that he couldn’t help thinking of them as the same person.

This drove him to carry out certain actions which even he could hardly comprehend himself.

If Xia Shangzhou hadn’t brought it up to him today, he wouldn’t have realized that there was anything inappropriate about the current circumstances.

Xia Shangzhou said that he liked Soft Bun… Admittedly, Soft Bun was a very special existence to him, so special that she was the only one who could induce sensations and feelings which he had never experienced before in his many years of life.

Could these sensations and feelings be what Xia Shangzhou referred to as ‘like’?

With opened eyes, Lin Jiage pondered over the matter for a very long time, but he couldn’t come up with an answer. Thus, he picked up his phone.

He searched for Lin Jiayi’s WeChat, and just as he was about to type out a message, he was suddenly reminded of the person whom Lin Jiayi once loved, and his fingers abruptly halted.

This topic was simply too sensitive to his sister, so asking her that question was no different from tearing off her scab to reveal a bleeding wound…

But other than his sister, who else could he ask?

Lin Jiage glanced at the sleeping pair of single dogs beside him and quickly gave up on that notion. Then, he looked up the only attached person in their dormitory room, Song Chaoxi ¹ , and asked: [How does it feel to like someone?]

Song Chaoxi instantly replied: [You want to sleep with her.]

Sleep with her?

Lin Jiage’s expression stiffened awkwardly.

Song Chaoxi’s message came in once more: [Sleep is a verb here.]

Verb?

Cough… Lin Jiage didn’t reply to Song Chaoxi’s message. Instead, with a reddened face, he put down his phone.

The one who was more unreliable than the netizens was his sister, and the one who was even more unreliable than his sister was Song Chaoxi…
