“…”
Lin Jiage was stunned into silence for quite a while. A certain remark he had seen on the internet flashed across his mind: [Y-you sure are ambitious!]
He tried his best to calm himself down before returning back into the conversation once more. While scanning the surroundings for enemies, he asked with a nonchalant tone which suggested that he was engaging in casual chatter, “Do you have any dreams?”
“Of course I do! Who doesn’t have any dreams?” Shi Yao replied as a matter-of-factly. Without waiting for Lin Jiage to ask her what her dream was, she frankly gave away what it was, “Do you know what my dream? My dream is for a day to come where all restaurants in the world will be free!”
While the dreams that others harbored were to become scientists, world champions, number one tycoon in the world, her dream had already transgressed into the realm of fantasy…
At least dreams still had a chance of fulfillment, but fantasies could only remain as fantasies.
“…” Lin Jiage was speechless for a long while before he finally found his voice back, “You sure have a grand dream!”
Following that, he swiftly moved on to the next topic, “Do you have any regrets in life?”
“Of course! If I didn’t have any regrets, I wouldn’t have had the dream I just told you about!” Shi Yao exclaimed before sighed in deep sorrow, as if lamenting her own tragic fate. “The greatest regret I have in life is for the heavens to bestow upon me the properties of a glutton, only to neglect to make me wealthy to go along with it!”
!!!!!!
Again, it was something to do with food!
But thinking back, of all of the answers he had received, only the last one could be remotely considered to be ‘normal’.
While harboring such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage remarked with a nonchalant tone, “It doesn’t matter whether you are wealthy or not. You can always marry a wealthy man to make up for it.”
He paused for a brief moment here before continuing on, not neglecting to make use of this ideal situation to promote himself, “Didn’t you mention that your fiancé is from a well-to-do family? If you marry him, won’t the greatest regret of your life be resolved once and for all?”
Shi Yao: “What you said makes a lot of sense…”
Hearing those words, the edges of Lin Jiage’s lips curved upward in glee. It seemed like his self-promotion was not completely useless after all…
Shi Yao: “… but it’s a pity that I won’t be marrying him.”
Lin Jiage’s body immediately jolted straight up. Agitated by the words he had just heard, he asked, “Why?”
“Why are you so agitated over this?” There was a hint of bewilderment in Shi Yao’s voice as she asked the question.
“Am I?” Lin Jiage asked. After saying those words, he realized that he had indeed reacted a little excessively to her words, so he quickly added, “I’m not agitated by your words. I am agitated by the group approaching us from 235°…”
Shi Yao replied with an “Oh”, seemingly taking his words for it.
Not wanting to catch her suspicion, Lin Jiage didn’t probe further on the issue right away. He quickly cleared away the group at 235° before continuing with the conversation, “Isn’t it contradictory for you to call him your fiancé and yet not marry him?”
“That’s not it. The relationship between me and my fiancé is a little complicated. How should I put this across to you…” Perhaps it was because Shi Yao was trying to find the words to express herself, she fell silent for quite a while before she finally continued on once more. “… Anyway, the thing is that he doesn’t like me…”
“How…” Barely after uttering a word, Lin Jiage realized that his emotions had gotten the better of him once more. He quickly took in a deep breath and forced his tone to return to its usual leisurely state before continuing on, “… How do you know that he doesn’t like you?”
“I’m not dumb, I can it see with my own eyes…”
Hearing Shi Yao’s words, Lin Jiage scoffed in the depths of his heart: But you really are dumb!
Unaware of Lin Jiage’s reaction to her words, Shi Yao continued on with her story, “… My fiancé doesn’t like girls like me. He likes girls with huge breasts, long legs, and a coy voice. What he views to be most important in a girl isn’t her face but her butt. The bigger her butt is, the more attracted he is to her…”
