The Beautiful Time With You

Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Milkbiscuit

Since he had already taken Lin Jiage's bribes, it went without saying that he had to help him get the job done… Thus, Lu Benlai swiftly coordinated along with Lin Jiage's play: [Boss, are you referring to Peppa Pig?]

Lin Jiage was stunned for a moment before he realized that the 'Peppa Pig' Lu Benlai was talking about was Soft Bun, whom he'd once referred to as a pet with a massive appetite…

Why were they still saying that Soft Bun was Peppa Pig… Were they indirectly saying that Soft Bun was a pig?

Lin Jiage was just about to direct a deeply cold stare at Lu Benlai for the latter to shudder over when he suddenly remembered something—the reason he'd blacklisted Big White Chubby in the first place was due to Soft Bun… If she hadn't said that she'd be upset, there was no way I would've done it. So, in the end, it's not that I blacklisted Soft Bun but that Soft Bun blacklisted herself…

With such a thought in mind, Lin Jiage picked up his phone and typed: [That's right…]

At this point, Lin Jiage paused and hesitated for roughly three seconds before gritting his teeth and continuing: [… it's Peppa Pig who blacklisted you.]

It should be fine, he would only use Peppa Pig as a metaphor for Soft Bun just this once. In any case, even if she was Peppa Pig, he would just have to be Pedro…

(Idk who Peppa Pig's boyfriend is.)

Without putting down his phone, Lin Jiage waited with bated breath. Each passing second now felt like an eternity to him, and the long-awaited message simply didn't arrive. In the face of the completely silent group, he @'d <Yao Loves Ice Cream> once more and sent: [Sis Yao, I'm sorry.]

There was still no response from Shi Yao.

Just like that, the air in Room 501 began to grow thinner and thinner.

In view of his own physical and mental health, Lu Benlai bucked up his courage and said, "Boss, it's almost twelve. Sis Yao is probably asleep by now."

Xia Shangzhou swiftly chimed in too, "That's probably it! Sis Yao's been saying she's exhausted since an hour ago!"

Is that really the case?

Lin Jiage took a look at his phone, and the current time was displayed as 12:21… It was indeed a little late.

With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage's mood lifted slightly.

He continued staring at his phone for quite a while, but there was still no response from Shi Yao's side. So, he put his phone to the side and lay down on the bed.

Thinking that they'd escaped a calamity, Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou discreetly heaved sighs of relief as they dived back into their respective beds, preparing to sleep.

Just that… barely ten minutes after the lights of the dormitory room were switched off, Lin Jiage sprung up from his bed and asked, "Are you two sure that she's asleep?"

Lu Benlai: "Boss, why don't I try helping you @ Sis Yao on the group chat then?"

Xia Shangzhou: "I'll do it too."

Lin Jiage pondered for a moment before giving a nod of approval.

So, Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou did so.

One minute passed. Two minutes passed. Three minutes passed… By the tenth minute mark, Lu Benlai took up his phone for the nth time, and with a yawn escaping from his lips, he took a look at the deathly silent group and said, "Boss, look. Sis Yao is really asleep, so let's go to sleep too…"

Xia Shangzhou was so tired that he couldn't say a single word. He could only nod his head profusely and mutter "Un un un" in agreement.

Without saying a word, Lin Jiage finally put down his phone and lay down on his bed.

Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou exhaled deeply in relief, thinking that they could finally go back to sleep… With relaxed minds, they lay back down onto their comfortable pillows, preparing to drift off to dreamland.

But three minutes later, Lin Jiage's body sprung up again, and he said, "There's one thing I need to remind you two. Don't let Yaoyao know that we know who she is."

Lu Benlai: "Un, got it."

Before Xia Shangzhou could even acknowledge the message, his words had already been drowned out by his snores.

Lin Jiage prepared to lie back down on his bed once more, but barely after he began moving, he was suddenly reminded of Lin Jiayi… Since she had added both him and Soft Bun on WeChat, wouldn't her responses on his Moments page betray his true identity?

This thought alarmed Lin Jiage. He hurriedly tapped into his Moments page and deleted the messages Lin Jiayi had left on it one by one…
