Time slowly ticked by, but as the sun set in the west, dyeing the entire city orange, Lin Jiage still wasn’t able to contact s.h.i.+ Yao. Parking the electric scooter by the side of the road, he called Lin Jiayi.
The phone rang for a moment before cutting off. Then his phone vibrated, and a notification popped up on the screen.
Lin Jiayi: [Out with Mom. Client.]
Lin Jiage thought for a moment before typing: [Do you have any friends that you’re very close to?]
While Lin Jiayi couldn’t exactly be called a girl, she should still know a female’s mind far better than him.
Lin Jiayi immediately replied: [I do.]
A second later, another message came in from Lin Jiayi: [My very close friend is money.]
Lin Jiage: “…”
A moment later, Lin Jiage typed on the keyboard and sent: [Can you give me something that can breathe?]
Lin Jiayi: [Something that can breathe…]
Lin Jiayi: [Then, the panda, our national treasure. It looks so expensive that it might even be worth more than money.]
I knew that I shouldn’t have asked her.. . Lin Jiage: [Another restriction. It should be a human.]
Lin Jiayi: [Then you should’ve just asked who I was closest with from the start! What do you mean ‘something that can breathe’, who in the world taught you this language?]
Lin Jiage felt the urge to smash his phone.
Lin Jiayi: [The person I’m closest with is, of course, my little cutie Yaoyao.]
Soft Bun?
Lin Jiage was unwilling to use Soft Bun even for a hypothetical situation, so he asked again: [Other than that?]
Lin Jiayi: [Since you’re asking me who I’m closest with, it’s a given that there would only be one person. If there are two people, can they still be considered to be a close friend? Or do you have two people who you love the most in your heart? You might be able to love multiple people at once, but I can’t. I’m walking down the faithful route, the faithful route!]
Alright, I’ll acknowledge the first part, but what’s with the second part? Faithful… Is this a term you should be using to refer to Soft Bun?
Lin Jiage felt deeply displeased. Nevertheless, he still got to the main point:[Fine. Take for example, if Yaoyao were to betray you, how would you feel?]
In the WeChat messages, it showed Lin Jiayi was typing for some time before a message finally came in.
Filled with expectations, Lin Jiage tapped in to take a look: [Yaoyao will never betray me.]
Lin Jiage: [Hypothetically.]
Lin Jiayi: [Such a hypothetical situation doesn’t exist.]
Lin Jiayi: [I believe in Yaoyao.]
Lin Jiayi: [Do you not believe in Yaoyao?]
Lin Jiage: [This has nothing to do with whether I believe in her or not. Like I said, hypothetically! Do you know what hypothetically means? It means an example, a pseudo situation!]
Lin Jiayi: [The recipient rejects partic.i.p.ating in your hypothetical situation.]
Lin Jiage gritted his teeth: [You forced me to marry you, the emperor, as your queen when we were kids. Isn’t that a hypothetical situation too?]
Lin Jiayi: [Can you be compared to Yaoyao? You can be casually used in a hypothetical situation, but not Yaoyao. No means no!]
Lin Jiage immediately whipped out his trump card: [Offer a price. How much will it cost to make you willing to do this hypothetical situation?]
Lin Jiayi: [No price will do.]
d.a.m.n it, she’s not taking the carrot or the stick?
Giving up, Lin Jiage backed out of his WeChat and continued calling s.h.i.+ Yao.
He tried three times, but all three were in vain.
After hanging up the phone, he saw that Lin Jiayi had messaged him: [Don’t think that I don’t know that this is another one of your little schemes. If I did this hypothetical situation with you, you would definitely threaten to give this chat record to Yaoyao and blackmail me into giving back your money. I’m telling you right now, I won’t fall for your trap!]
