The Beautiful Time With You

It was only around midnight when the room finally calmed down.

Perhaps because too many things had happened over the day, but Shi Yao didn't feel at all tired. She closed her eyes and lay down for a while. Eventually, she couldn't hold herself back anymore and reached for her phone. Searching through her contacts to find Lin Jiage's name, she typed a short message: [Are you asleep?]

After sending the message, Shi Yao suddenly realized that her message might have been a little weird.

It didn't feel like their relationship had reached the point where they could ask whether the other person was asleep or not…

But in any case, from what I know about Lin Jiage, he probably won't reply to my message.

With this thought in mind, Shi Yao began typing out another message.

However, before she could finish typing what she wanted to say, a new notification popped up on her screen.

Lin Jiage: No.

Ahh… My assumption just suffered a heavy slap…

Shi Yao quietly touched her face for a moment before she continued typing out her message. However, another notification popped up at that moment.

Lin Jiage: What's wrong?

It was a double slap. Her face was starting to sting a little…

Shi Yao touched her face once more before finishing up her message and sent it over: [I wanted to tell you something.]

Lin Jiage replied instantly: [?]

This was a very Lin Jiage-ish response… Sensing that there was no problem with it, she began to type.

But halfway through her draft, Lin Jiage sent over yet another message: [What's wrong?]

Shi Yao paused in mid-action. Lin Jiage's two consecutive messages had left her feeling flustered—his actions were a little too flattering.

And this was very un-Lin-Jiage-ish behavior… When had he ever replied to her messages so actively? Unless there was something important to speak about, he would stingily retain as many words as he could…

Shi Yao looked at her conversation history with Lin Jiage once more, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was off.

Could it be that the person on the other side… isn't Lin Jiage at all?

With this thought in mind, Shi Yao erased her current message and typed a new one out: [May I know if you're Lin Jiage?]

…

Lin Jiage had already crawled into bed by eleven-thirty.

He was just about to fall asleep when the phone he'd put on silent mode suddenly lit up next to his ear.

Interrupted from his sleep, Lin Jiage picked up the phone in an irritated mood to see who just messaged him.

[Are you asleep?]

It was a message from Soft Bun.

Three simple words, but it suddenly turned the deep night a little inexplicably… warm…

His fatigue disappeared without a trace as he quickly picked up his phone and replied with a 'No' to her.

After which, he hesitated for a moment before adding: [What's wrong?]

Soft Bun quickly responded: [I wanted to tell you something.]

Lin Jiage responded with his usual [?] but then felt that such a response might be a little too cold. So, he sent another message with two words: [What's wrong?]

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little thirsty, so he got off his bed to grab a drink.

However, barely after he got up, her message arrived: [May I know if you're Lin Jiage?]

You don't say! If I'm not Lin Jiage, am I Gejia Lin?

While pouring a cup of water, Lin Jiage typed on his phone: [You think?]

It took a long time before she replied to that message.

While drinking the cup of water, Lin Jiage unlocked his phone screen to take a look.

Shi Yao had replied with a single word: [Grandpa]

Grandpa? Lin Jiage immediately choked.

You must be out of your mind, who wants to be your grandpa! I'm still a young man! Are you trying to murder your husband in the middle of the night?
