The Beautiful Time With You

“I’m not bragging to you when I say this, but if you asked the owner of this account which man she cared the most about in the world, she would definitely name me!”

Really, the government should impose a tax on bragging so that people like him wouldn’t dare to speak such big words!

Lin Jiage was just about to reply with a disdainful “Heh heh” sneer, implying that the other party could continue bragging all he wanted, but like the many times before, the man on the other side interjected before he could say a word.

As compared to before, his voice was much louder this time around, and the words he spoke weren’t directed to him either, “Yao, wash an apple for me.”

Even though the voice sounded a little distant, Lin Jiage could still distinctly hear a feminine voice from the other side, “Alright.”

This was a voice that he was extremely familiar with—Shi Yao’s.

A second later, he was still sneering at that man for daring to speak such arrogant words, but at this moment, as if someone had sealed his acupoints, he froze on the spot.

There was a minute of silence before he heard light footsteps through his earpiece, and the man’s voice sounded, “Thanks, honey.”

Following which, Shi Yao replied, “You’re welcome, darling.”

The crisp sound of the man’s teeth sinking into the apple sounded, and a moment later, Shi Yao spoke up once more, “Dinner’s almost ready, remember to have some later. I’ll go take a bath first.”

While chewing on the apple, the man replied, “Sure thing, muah!”

Shi Yao didn’t reply to that remark.

As if to intentionally spite Lin Jiage, a few seconds later, that man said, “Make sure to be careful in the bathroom. Don’t slip and fall by accident.”

“Yes, yes…” Shi Yao replied, and a sound reminiscent of a door closing echoed through the earpiece.

After which, there were roughly ten seconds of silence before the man spoke up again, and this time, his voice was full of glee, “I believe that I don’t need to waste my breath explaining anything more to you, right? I don’t care why you’re sticking your nose into her business, but I’d like to offer you a warning: I’ll allow you to play with her, but don’t you dare think about doing anything inappropriate with her. I’ll tell you right now that whatever you’re thinking about will never happen!”

The man went on quite a long monologue before coming to a halt.

All this while, Lin Jiage was completely silent, but the man didn’t pay any mind to that.

It was only until the crisp munching of an apple came to a stop that the man on the other side continued to speak, “Bro, hit ready.”

Because there was no response, the man urged, “Bro? Bro? Are you still playing?”

Amidst the man’s relentless prompting, Lin Jiage finally recovered from his dazed state.

Without saying a word, he backed out of the game.

Darling… Soft Bun called that man ‘darling’…

It was one thing for her to call him darling, but she even washed an apple for that man… And as if washing an apple wasn’t enough, she even prepared dinner for him…

And as if preparing dinner wasn’t enough, the two of them were even staying under the same roof… And as if staying under the same roof wasn’t enough, she even went to take a bath in that man’s presence even though it was already in the middle of the night!

Phones should be something extremely private to a person, but she willingly handed it over to that man and allowed him to use it. Not only that, she even allowed that man to play her avatar…

Remarkable. Remarkable. Truly remarkable!

The more Lin Jiage thought about it, the more panicked he became… even though he wasn’t too sure what exactly he was panicking about either.

After some time, his phone finally rang.

He instinctively took a glance at his phone, but his mind was so preoccupied that he didn’t manage to process who the caller was before picking it up in a daze. He heard the person on the other end tossing him an address and asking him to come out and play, and only then did his overloaded head realize that it was Liang Jiusi on the other end.

After hanging up the phone, he unintentionally caught sight of himself in the mirror. He was dressed in a white T-shirt, and his face looked clean and proper. But for some reason, he felt like he was emanating a green light; a very, very green light. ¹
