Speaking up to this point, Shi Yao realized that it wasn’t particularly nice of her to secretly give people nicknames, so she chuckled in embarrassment and got straight to the main point, “So, the person who asked for Leng Nuan’s phone number back then is flamboyant yellow strawberry guy, and the other one is deep blue pineapple guy…”
After explaining the matter, Shi Yao quickly asked out of curiosity, “So, which of them two-timed?”
Even she considered it as two-timing?
Those words made Lin Jiage’s mood fall so low that he didn’t even feel like speaking anymore.
Shi Yao asked excitedly, “Is it that guy who gave Leng Nuan his number?”
Lin Jiage shook his head.
Shi Yao nodded her head with a long “Ohhh” as she came to a conclusion, “So it’s deep blue pineapple guy. I thought that he was a good guy, considering how honest he looks, but to think that he’s actually a Casanova!”
Ca-Casanova?
As if someone had stabbed him with a knife, his heart sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Soft Bun actually thinks that I’m a playboy!
Shi Yao seemed to have sensed that there was something wrong with Lin Jiage’s mood. She looked at him, blinking her eyes twice as she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Lin Jiage quickly reined in his thoughts and shook his head. With an unperturbed voice, he replied, “It’s nothing.”
At this point, he suddenly remembered the nicknames Shi Yao had given Xia Shangzhou and Lu Benlai, and it seemed like he was the only person without one, so he asked, “Tell me honestly, do you have a nickname for me too?”
Shi Yao hurriedly shook her head and replied, “No, of course not!”
Lin Jiage, who really wanted a nickname, tried to steer her on, “It’s fine even if you have one for me.”
However, Shi Yao continued shaking her head like a rattle drum, “I swear that I never thought of it. If I really did, I’ll be a little egg roll!”
“Alright then…” Seeing that there was no hope for him, Lin Jiage could only give up in disappointment.
A moment later, Lin Jiage still felt a little indignant about their earlier topic, so he asked once more, “Do you really think my friend is a two-timer and a Casanova?”
Shi Yao tilted her head to the side and replied earnestly, “A little, I guess… It’s not entirely accurate to say that he’s two-timing; after all, he hasn’t actually gotten together with anyone. But, getting close with two girls at once doesn’t look too good. Just think about it, if the girl you liked had a close relationship with another guy, how would you feel…”
Just a second into the hypothetical situation, Lin Jiage had already spoken up with a particularly severe tone, “There’s no way I’ll let another guy have the opportunity.”
It’s just a hypothetical situation, do you have to be so serious about it?
Shi Yao was momentarily speechless before she continued her explanation, “Plus, if both girls have feelings toward your friend, they’ll definitely be upset if they found out about each other’s existence.”
“What about you?” Lin Jiage asked.
“Ah?” Shi Yao was caught off guard by the abrupt question.
Lin Jiage pressed on, “If you were one of these two girls, will you be upset?”
It’s not as if I’m one of those girls… But since it’s just a hypothetical scenario, I guess it should be fine for me to go along with it…
So, Shi Yao tried placing herself into the scenario depicted by Lin Jiage, and a while later, she said, “I think I’ll be a little upset after all. There’s probably no one in this world who doesn’t wish for the person they like to belong solely to them.”
“I see…” Lin Jiage nodded before falling silent. A moment later, he spoke up once more, but this time, his voice was rather soft, almost as if he was mumbling to himself, “I know what I have to do now.”
Shi Yao failed to catch what he’d said, so she asked in confusion, “What did you say?”
Lin Jiage mind had wandered off, so he didn’t catch Shi Yao’s question. However, his lips still moved as he continued muttering softly under his breath, “I’ll never make you upset…”
