<111111>: [What do you think about him?]
Mister Numbers’s questions were getting more and more eccentric… Typically speaking, wouldn’t a guy like him be more interested in learning more about the ladies in the school? Why would he suddenly express interest in another man? This…
The more Shi Yao thought about the matter, the more bizarre she found it to be.
Lin Jiage was indeed one of the more renowned figures in G University. Just from He Tiantian and the others’ usual gossip, she could roughly determine just how popular Lin Jiage was with the female populace. Even during the examination two days ago, she saw a girl inviting him out to eat. Could there be a chance that Mister Numbers, towards Lin Jiage…
Thinking up to this point, Shi Yao could no longer concentrate on anything else anymore. She quickly replied to <111111>’s message.
…
Lin Jiage’s initial intention was just to divert the topic away from Peppa Pig due to how awkward and embarrassing it was for him.
Perhaps it was due to a night of insomnia, or perhaps it was because he rarely spoke with any girls and so his train of thought was a little out of it; he couldn’t think of a good topic no matter how hard he racked his head. At this point, he suddenly realized that this might be a good opportunity for him to understand Shi Yao’s image of him in her head, so he decisively chose to turn the topic towards himself.
After typing “What do you think about him?”, Lin Jiage suddenly felt a little tense inside.
This was a tension he had never felt as far as he could remember… It was tinged with a bit of expectation, as well as a little bit of fear and nervousness.
It felt like an eternity had passed before his ringtone sounded.
His hand immediately darted for his phone, and he saw that Shi Yao’s message said: [Could it be that Lin Jiage is your Yin Zhiping?]
What the heck does that mean? Just how in the world am I related to Yin Zhiping?
Without thinking too much into it, Lin Jiage replied with a [?] .
This time, Shi Yao replied quickly: [What I mean is that do you harbor special thoughts toward Lin Jiage?]
Lin Jiage was stunned for two whole seconds before the meaning behind those words struck him.
Does Soft Bun think that I like Lin Jiage?
So, the message that she sent earlier, ‘Could it be that Lin Jiage is your Yin Zhiping’, meant that… I’ve been sullied by me?
Just what kind of nonsense does Soft Bun store in that small head of hers?
Lin Jiage took in a deep breath and suppressed his urge to pry open Shi Yao’s head to see what was inside before replying: [What are you talking about?]
<Yao Loves Ice Cream>: [But if you don’t like him, why would you ask me that question just now?]
Even if the partner was himself, and it was indeed true that he loved himself a lot, he still couldn’t allow Soft Bun to think that he liked men…
Thus, Lin Jiage replied without hesitation: [Of course not. My sexual orientation is perfectly normal.]
…
Ah… It would be enough for Mister Numbers to deny that he didn’t like Lin Jiage, why did he have to tell her that his sexual orientation was normal?
Feeling a little embarrassed, Shi Yao typed out: [Then why did you ask me that question?]
<111111>: [Isn’t he very popular in our school? I was just a little curious to see what you thought about him.]
Well, it was still understandable since Lin Jiage was indeed a celebrity in G University—there were many times where Shi Yao was in the school canteen and she would hear other girls gossiping about him.
Just that, I didn’t think a guy like Mister Numbers would turn out to be so nosey as well…
With such thoughts in mind, Shi Yao tapped on her phone and replied: [I see…]
[Well, I think that Lin Jiage is…] Shi Yao tilted her head sideways and pondered for a moment. She suddenly recalled the response which Mister Numbers gave a long time ago when Expert asked him whether her voice was nice or not, and she found it exceptionally apt for the current situation, so she continued typing: [… just so-so.]
