Lin Jiage had replied to her message.
The response was very typical of him, an incomparably simple
Mm
.
But this single consonant had driven away all of Shi Yao’s exhaustion.
I didn’t guess it wrong… Everything he said and did, they were all referring to Liang Mumu…
Before Shi Yao could recover from the impact of that message, Lin Jiage had sent her another message: [Are you feeling any better?]
Without thinking about it, Shi Yao began moving her fingers to type, but before she could finish crafting her message, another message from Lin Jiage came in:[You don’t feel as upset anymore, right?]
Shi Yao froze.
She could understand why he’d ask if she was feeling better. After all, there was no one who wouldn’t feel horrible after being betrayed by a person whom they once viewed as a friend.
It was just that, his message asking if she didn’t feel as upset anymore… That left her feeling a little surprised.
She did feel a lot better now after the KTV session, but how did he know? Or could it be that… Another thought began floating into Shi Yao’s mind.
She felt that her guess was simply too presumptuous. In the past, she would have immediately given it a pass, but this time… for some reason, she felt a little confident about it, even though she had no idea where this confidence was coming from.
Shi Yao was silent for a long while, but eventually, she decided to test out her guess. After all, she would never know the truth if she kept it bottled up inside.
Thus, she swiftly moved her fingers and typed out a message for Lin Jiage: [Did you call me so many times in the afternoon because you found out about it?]
Despite Shi Yao’s inconceivable confidence, she still couldn’t help thinking that this was unlikely. After the message was sent, uncertainty and apprehension began to fill her mind.
If Lin Jiage replies with a negative message, what should I say to get rid of the awkwardness?
While Shi Yao was racking her head for a suitable excuse, her phone screen lit up once more.
Lin Jiage: [Mm.]
Mm… He replied with an
Mm
… This means that my guess was correct, right?
As expected, there was indeed some basis to a woman’s intuition. A woman’s sixth sense was always inconceivably correct.
So… from what she’d gathered so far, Shi Yao swiftly moved her fingers on her phone and typed: [Today’s karaoke gathering, is that something you planned last minute?]
Lin Jiage replied instantly: [Mm.]
It really was planned last minute…
With both of her ‘inconceivably confident’ guesses turning out to be correct, Shi Yao’s inconceivably grew even bolder:[Then, did you plan the karaoke for me?]
After she sent this message, Shi Yao unknowingly held her breath, and every single second seemed to pass slowly, very slowly.
Just as she felt like she was about to suffocate to death, a message from Lin Jiage came in. Still a single word, but it wasn’t an
Mm
this time but: [Yes.]
To think that I got it right…
I got it right. I really got it right…
Lin Jiage called her as soon as he found out what happened between her and Liang Mumu.
He could tell that she wasn’t in a good mood, so he prepared a special karaoke session and called over his roommates and Sis Jiayi to join the gathering, all just to comfort her. And truthfully, after the tremendous fun she’d had at the karaoke session, she really did feel much better. The dejection that had been plaguing her for the entire day was all swept clear…
In this instant, an emotion which Shi Yao couldn’t exactly put her finger on surged into her heart.
Am I moved? That should be it, right? When a person is upset, and someone tries to comfort them, they would surely feel moved.
Shi Yao had no idea what was happening to her, but her heartbeat quickened and turned a little erratic.
