He still kept count of how many laps he’d run at the very start, but as time went by, the numbers in his head gradually blurred, and before he knew it, his legs had already grown so heavy that he could hardly lift them anymore. Nevertheless, he forcefully pulled them up through sheer willpower, as if hoping that he’d be able to erase a memory from his mind by pushing himself past his limits...

Just like that, Lin Jiage kept running and running, but he eventually reached a point where he had no choice but to succumb to his exhaustion, collapsing weakly onto the ground.

His throat was very dry, and he was experiencing a severe lack of oxygen as well. He panted desperately for a very long time, but he was still unable to catch his breath.

Darkness had already devoured the entire sky by then, and there was hardly anyone on the running track. Completely spent, he gave in to his body and lay down on the ground.

He hated the feeling of his sweat-drenched clothes sticking tightly to his body, and he craved to rush back to his dormitory room for a shower.

But just the very knowledge that those two fellows were still playing with Yao Loves Ice Cream made him dismiss that thought...

Rarely could one see any stars in Beijing’s night sky.

Using his arm as a cushion for his head, he stared deeply into the night sky. But no matter how long he searched, there wasn’t the slightest sign of starlight to be found.

Thus, he chose to close his eyes instead. The slight rustling of the tree leaves swaying alongside the night breeze accompanied him as he wasted his time away in peace.

Sometime later, when he finally picked up his phone once more, he noticed that it was already eleven at night. Judging by their usual gaming sessions, he estimated that those two should be done by now, so he summoned all the strength he had to push himself up from the ground and began on a long trudge back to his dormitory room.

The heat of summer was relentless even in the middle of the night, so he had perspired quite a bit from his run. Feeling rather dehydrated, he stopped by the supermarket to get himself a bottle of mineral water.

Leaving the supermarket, he twisted the cap of the mineral water he had just bought, and just as he was about to lift his head and drink it,?‘ding dong!?‘, the phone in his pocket rang.

Lin Jiage took out his phone and saw that it was a notification from his WeChat. Thus, he tapped into the notification while gulping down the bottle of water.

It was a voice message from Lin Jiayi. Tapping on it, his elder sister’s showy and melodious voice sounded in the night sky, traveling to his ear, “Lin Jiage, do you want to know what I just found?”

If it had been any other occasion, he might have replied with a “Is it a bag or an accessory this time? Or did you strike gold or diamonds?”.

But the him tonight had no mood to do so...

Thus, he ignored the message that Lin Jiayi sent over and continued gulping down his mineral water.

He chugged down half of the bottle before twisting the cap back on. Just as he was about to make his way back to the dormitory, his phone rang again.

While walking, he checked on his phone again. It was another message from Lin Jiayi.

Lin Jiayi: “I’m telling you, this is something that you’ll definitely be interested in.”

Lin Jiayi: “It’s related to Yaoyao!”

Lin Jiayi: “Are you sure you don’t want to know?”

Lin Jiayi: “Alright then. Since you don’t want to know, just pretend like I never said anything…”

Related to Soft Bun...

Lin Jiage was affected. In the end, his curiosity still got the better of him, and he typed a?[?]?in response to Lin Jiayi.

Lin Jiayi: “What? Now you want to know? What a pity, I don’t feel like telling you anymore.”

Lin Jiage:?[...]

Lin Jiayi: “What does your “…” mean? Speechlessness? Are you getting speechless on me now?”

Lin Jiayi: “Forget it, I’ll let it go this once. If you want to know, why don’t you try begging me? Beg me, and I’ll tell you what I’ve got from Yaoyao…”

Lame. Am I such a spineless person?

Lin Jiage decisively put his phone back into his pocket.

Two seconds later, he fished his phone back out and typed:?[Beg you.]

It was as if Lin Jiayi had already prepared the message in advance. The instant that Lin Jiage sent his message over, her response came in right after, “I’ve just gotten my hands on Yaoyao’s WeChat account!”
