…
Following the ringtone of his phone, ‘ding dong!’ , Lin Jiage immediately opened his eyes and picked up his phone.
[Well, I think Lin Jiage is…]
As Lin Jiage read through s.h.i.+ Yao’s words, he instinctively began holding his breath.
He had to mentally prepare himself for roughly three seconds before he slowly moved his gaze to read the following words.
[… just so-so.]
In this instant, Lin Jiage felt as if someone had clubbed him on his head, causing his mind to turn completely blank.
It took a while before he finally blinked his eyes lightly, and his engine which had sputtered to a halt finally whirred back to action.
I think Lin Jiage is just so-so… just so-so…
Was this Soft Bun’s impression of him?
Well, he was indeed guilty of saying many horrible words to her, so it was understandable why her impression of him would be so bad. However, he felt that he’d been treating her pretty well lately, so even if he wasn’t at a full score, he should at least be around 90 points…
Alright, maybe 90 points is a little too high… But even if that wasn’t the case, I should at least be at 80 points, right?
Did her words, ‘just so-so’, mean that I didn’t even score 70 points in her mind?
Lin Jiage really couldn’t accept s.h.i.+ Yao’s evaluation of himself. He tried his best to steady his emotions before he replied to s.h.i.+ Yao’s message: [That’s too vague. Can’t you give me something more concrete?]
: [Something more concrete? He’s good-looking, smart, and comes from a well-to-do family… All in all, he’s the type of guy that most girls would like.]
Finally, something that was more reasonable…
Lin Jiage’s feelings of indignation finally alleviated a little as he continued asking: [What about you? Do you like guys like him? Or to be more exact, out of a scale of 100, what score would you give him?]
…
Mister Numbers sure was nosey. To think that he’d ask if Lin Jiage was the type of person she would like…
Like?
While nibbling on her left thumb, s.h.i.+ Yao tilted her head and mused deeply.
She knew that Lin Jiage didn’t want people to know of their engagement.
Even though they could barely be considered as friends at the moment, still… he probably wouldn’t like seeing her talk too much about him to other people… As for whether she liked him or not, well, this simply didn’t seem to be an appropriate term to be used between Lin Jiage and her…
s.h.i.+ Yao thought deeply for a moment before replying <111111>’s message.
…
: [To be honest with you, I do know him but we’re not very close.]
Aren’t very close?!
Upon seeing those words, he immediately sprang up from his bed.
In that instant, all of the exhaustion weighing down on him disappeared without a trace.
Aren’t very close… In Soft Bun’s heart, we’re not close at all?
At this moment, Lin Jiage’s phone vibrated once more, and a new notification appeared on his screen.
: [How should I say this? Hmm… I guess the two of us could barely be considered as friends.]
Barely…
Lin Jiage was a frequent user of this word, but for the very first time, he found it exceptionally jarring.
On the other hand, s.h.i.+ Yao was still oblivious to the kind of storm she had caused on the other end of her phone and was still sending over messages.
: [I think that he’s still a good person overall. If I really have to give him a score, well, this is just my personal view of him, I think that I should be able to give him 60 points…]
60 points?
Seeing that the result had completely exceeded his expectations in the opposite direction, Lin Jiage’s face was immediately drained of color.
: [Perhaps 60 points might be a little too low, he’s actually quite nice from time to time once you get to know him.]
