Shi Yao was only speechless for about a dozen seconds, but within these dozen seconds, <111111> managed to send her three consecutive messages.
[Why aren’t you taking the red packet?]
[Are you still angry?]
[?]
Staring at the messages on the screen, Shi Yao couldn’t help wondering, ‘Is this what they mean by… being forced to accept the kindness of others?’
Seeing that there was no way around it, she ran over to the <Sexy and Frisky> group and collected all of those red packets.
The value in every single one of those red packets was the highest sum possible: 200 RMB. Thus, in an instant, the money in her wallet changed from a single-digit 2 RMB into a four-digit 1,202 RMB.
1,200 RMB… This sum left her feeling deeply pressured.
With such a thought in mind, she sent a private message to <111111>: [About the red packets, I think their values are too high. It makes me feel a little uneasy…]
It was impossible to tell whether Mister Numbers had fallen asleep or he’d run off to deal with other matters, but it took a while before Shi Yao finally received his response.
<111111>: [It’ll be fine once you get used to it.]
It’ll be fine once I get used to it… What does that mean?
Is he saying that as long as I get used to collecting his red packets, I won’t feel uneasy anymore?
But they were only online friends; they hadn’t even met in real life yet! There shouldn’t be any reason for him to keep sending red packets to her. So, those words should just be a casual remark, right? Since that’s the case, she shouldn’t think about it too much and just let it be…
In any case, since she’d already taken Mister Numbers’ money, it would feel wrong to not reply to his messages. After pondering for a moment, she began explaining why she’d blacklisted him last night:[So, about last night, I thought that you blacklisted me because I killed you, so I blacklisted you back. To be honest, I never thought that the player would end up being you. I thought it was a bot!]
…
Having spent the entire night awake, religiously checking his phone now and then for new notifications, Lin Jiage suddenly felt exhaustion sweeping across his consciousness after receiving Shi Yao’s message.
As Shi Yao kept sending him messages, he had no choice but to suppress his drowsiness and continue chatting with her.
Just that, upon seeing that she thought that the person she’d killed was a bot, his drowsiness suddenly receded by half.
Soft Bun actually compared him to a bot…
Without any hesitation, he immediately replied: [I was a little busy then, so my attention wasn’t on the game.]
…
Upon seeing <111111>’s message, Shi Yao immediately recalled the small conversation the other party had with Juice regarding Peppa Pig last night, so she typed on the keyboard and replied: [Was the pet you’re raising making trouble?]
…
Lin Jiage was confused for quite a long time before realizing that the pet Shi Yao was referring to was Peppa Pig.
But Peppa Pig is her…
While Lin Jiage was at a loss on how to respond to Shi Yao’s message, the latter sent in another message: [Is your pet a cat or a dog? Since you call it Peppa Pig, it’s really a pig, is it?]
[Actually, I’ve been wanting to raise a cat or a dog myself, but I’m worried that I won’t be able to take responsibility for it till the end… Does your Peppa Pig go around peeing and pooping everywhere?]
Miss… How do you expect me to answer your question?
But on the other end of the conversation, Shi Yao, who was unaware who Peppa Pig was referring to, continued sending messages over: [Is it very adorable and fun to play with?]
Well, she’s indeed adorable, but as for fun to play with… Can you clarify what you mean when you say ‘play’?
As if choked on words, Lin Jiage could only stare at his screen in silence for a very long time before he finally found the words in him to respond: [It’s quite adorable.]
…
Because she was in class, Shi Yao wasn’t able to respond to <111111>’s messages anymore. By the time her class ended and she took a look at her phone, she found that <111111> had sent her a new message.
<111111>: [There’s one thing I’d like to ask. Do you know our school’s Lin Jiage?]
Ah… Why is Mister Numbers suddenly asking this question?
Shi Yao replied honestly: [I do.]
Then, she added: [What’s wrong?]
<111111>: [What do you think about him?]
