Lin Jiage didn’t rush to answer their question. Instead, he scanned through the many ladies in the compartment before his gaze finally stopped on the prettiest lady in the room.

Well, there’s no denying that she’s rather pretty, but she can’t come close to comparing to Soft Bun...?However, it seemed like there was no way around it. Due to the limitations in the resources available, he had no choice but to make do with her for the moment...

With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage asked courteously, “Are you willing to help me with this favor?”

The young lady nodded her head happily and replied, “Sure!”

Lin Jiage nodded, and he earnestly pondered for a moment as he recalled the time when Shi Yao was taking an examination while he was standing in front of a window, and they happened to meet gazes. He then quickly filled the young lady on his requirements.

Even though the young lady was completely lost on what Lin Jiage was trying to achieve, she still did as she was told.

Thus, Lin Jiage quietly exchanged gazes with the young lady.

Under Lin Jiage’s instructions, the young lady would blink her eyes at him from time to time.

Thirty seconds had passed...Lin Jiage found that his heart was as calm as a dead puddle of water. There wasn’t even the slightest fluctuation in his mood.

A minute had passed... Lin Jiage couldn’t sense the slightest spark from the young lady’s blinking eyes.

A minute and a half had passed... Not only did Lin Jiage not feel seduced, he was even starting to get a little tired of the young lady’s looks.

Before striking the two-minute mark, Lin Jiage had already given up. He pondered for a moment before asking, “May I trouble you to help me eat an apple?”

The confused young lady nodded.

Lin Jiage shot a glance at the equally dumbfounded Liang Jiusi and said, “Help me get the attendant to bring in an apple.”

Lin Jiage paused for a brief moment before adding, “The larger the apple, the better.”

It didn’t take long for the apple to be delivered to the compartment.

Lin Jiage instructed the young lady to place all her attention into eating the apple.

After the young lady gave a nod of approval, he began staring at the young lady intently.

The young lady did put all of her attention into eating the apple, but for some reason, Lin Jiage couldn’t find the same feeling he felt when he unintentionally caught sight of Soft Bun biting on an apple back at his grandfather’s ward. He didn’t feel the urge to snap down a photo and eternalize the moment.

Was it due to the bad lighting? After all, it had been the middle of the day back then, and the rays of the sun were perfectly angled on her.

After a moment of deep thought, Lin Jiage instructed for the lights in the compartment to be switched back on before staring intently at that young lad once more... but his efforts turned out to be futile.

Frowning, Lin Jiage pondered for another moment before saying to the young lady, “One last favor. Could you put on a wronged and aggrieved look?”

The young lady thought for a bit before putting on an expression, “Like this?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lin Jiage tried to recall Shi Yao’s reaction back at the Golden Resplendence after hearing the two ladies gossiping behind her back, then he began giving the young lady a detailed description, “Lower your head slightly and pout your lips a little more... Right, right, right, that’s it…”

Lin Jiage stared at her, minute after a minute, but he was still unable to find the heartache he felt when Shi Yao showed such an expression to him.

Could it be that the young lady’s makeup was too thick that it was affecting him? After all, Shi Yao usually didn’t put on any makeup.

Lin Jiage paused for a bit before proposing, “Can you remove your makeup?”

The young lady showed a look of difficulty, but perhaps because it was a request from Lin Jiage, she eventually nodded with reluctance.

The young lady was really quite pretty. Removing her makeup made her look slightly younger and more pleasant to the eye to Lin Jiage.

Nevertheless, Lin Jiage still couldn’t feel any heartache at her wronged and aggrieved face...

Liang Jiusi finally couldn’t take it anymore and asked, “Brother Jia, just what in the world are you doing?”

As if not hearing Liang Jiusi’s words, Lin Jiage continued staring unblinkingly at the young lady, and as he stared and stared, two words escaped from his lips, “It’s over…”
