The Beautiful Time With You

After Lin Jiayi accepted the sum, she replied: [So then, Mom and I went to the bathroom. Shi Yao, who hadn't finished her breakfast yet, was the last to follow. Together, we saw a shocking sight—there was a pair of male sneakers on the floor.]

Male sneakers? Lin Jiage grip on his phone tightened unconsciously.

[Because the sneaker was dirty, Liang Mumu said with certainty that they didn't belong to you. She then started hinting that it could be Han Jing. You know Mom, she's decisive and direct, a representative of an all-powerful woman, so she unhesitatingly stepped forward to flip the bedsheets up to take a look…]

[But Yaoyao said no, so I held Mom back. But no one was holding Liang Mumu back, and she ended up pulling off the bedsheets…]

Hell…She always stops at the most nerve-wracking part… Lin Jiage sent five sums of money in one go.

Lin Jiayi accepted all of them heartily.

[Beneath the bedsheets was a person who deeply resembled a man, but from the fried eggs on her chest, it was obviously a woman…]

A woman.. . Lin Jiage heaved a sigh of relief.

[Then, it turned out that Liang Mumu's ploy had failed. This is what roughly happened: Han Jing was a gentleman, so he asked Yaoyao's friend to go to the hotel room instead.]

[Do you know how frightened I was? My heart nearly leaped out of my throat! I knew that Yaoyao isn't someone who would do that, but I was afraid that she might've fallen into someone else's trap. It's a good thing Yaoyao was born under a lucky star…]

[Overcoming the danger safely…]

[Turning the tables on Liang Mumu…]

Did she already finish explaining the events, but because she didn't want to refund me, so she decided to use two simple lines to swallow the money?

Lin Jiage sneered coldly before placing down the phone and heading to the bathroom to wash up.

But while he was washing up, he suddenly remembered what Lin Jiayi said about a woman with two fried eggs on her chest… Didn't that mean that the woman had been sleeping nude, and on the same bed as Soft Bun at that?

What do you mean 'almost' cuckolded? I obviously have been cuckolded!

Even I haven't slept with Soft Bun nude, yet someone already beat me to it…

The more Lin Jiage thought about it, the more stifled he felt. Nevertheless, when he left the bathroom, the first thing he did was dial Shi Yao's number.

She once said that Liang Mumu was her close friend. Back then, he had intended to warn her against Liang Mumu but felt afraid that she'd get upset after learning about her close friend's true face. In the end, he couldn't bring himself to do it. After what happened, she must be really upset right now…

The phone rang for some time, but no one picked up the call.

Lin Jiage called two more times, but they didn't get through either. Slowly, he began to worry. He sent a message over to Shi Yao, but there was no reply at all. Eventually, he switched on his laptop and hacked into the school web to obtain the landline number for Shi Yao's dormitory room. His call was picked up by a lady. When she heard that he was looking for Shi Yao, the other party calmly replied, "Shi Yao isn't around," before hanging up.

Since she has classes tomorrow, she can't possibly be at home. But if she's not in her dormitory room at the moment, does that mean that she's outside alone right now?

Is she hiding in a corner, crying by herself? As soon as this thought flashed across Lin Jiage's mind, the image of Shi Yao's crying face swiftly appeared in his head. In that instant, he felt as if something was clutching his heart, suffocating him painfully. Without any hesitation, he took his wallet and phone and left his dormitory room.

Lin Jiage borrowed an electric scooter from the neighboring room and then scoured around the campus, looking for Shi Yao.

The noon sun battered down on him mercilessly, leaving his clothes drenched in sweat.

He called her a few more times, but no one picked up.
