The Beautiful Time With You

“… Baby, I am really blessed to have been able to meet you. For you, I can soar through the Nine Heavens to pick the moon, and descend into the Seven Seas to catch turtles…”

What the… This guy is really getting more and more absurd. Isn’t this the textbook example of a swindler? Soaring through the ninth heavens? Why don’t you go outerspace and torch yourself with the sun? Descending into the Seven Seas to catch turtles? Why don’t you try locking lips with some turtles instead? 

It was a second ago that Lin Jiage was still berating the boy sitting in front of him in his heart, criticizing him as if he was a good-for-nothing. In the next, however, the girl sitting next to the boy suddenly leaned in and dropped him a kiss. With flushed cheeks, she replied shyly, “Me too. I am really blessed to have met you as well. I want to marry you when we graduate from this university, I want to bear lots of children for you…”

Lin Jiage’s typing fingers shuddered upon hearing those words. His head shot up, and he stared at the couple right ahead of him in disbelief.

As the girl’s face was slightly tilted to the side, Lin Jiage was able to catch a glimpse of her expression.

Her face was beaming with both bliss and exhilaration. It was almost as if she had just been given the entire world.

The girl couldn’t be said to be a looker, but in this very instant, Lin Jiage found her particularly dazzling.

Does this mean to say that… girls like boys who whisper shallow sweet-nothings?

What about Soft Bun? Does she like such things too?

A great coincidence it was, but just as such a thought surfaced in Lin Jiage’s mind, the phone he had placed on the table lit up.

Picking up his phone, he saw that he had received a notification from the <Sexy and Frisky> group.

He tapped into the notification and saw that <Yao Loves Ice Cream> had @’d everyone and posted an image along with it.

The image featured a screenshot from <PlayersUnknown’s Battlegrounds>, where she had successfully killed two players.

Just as Lin Jiage finished looking through the image, a few more messages appeared in the chat.

<Yao Loves Ice Cream>: [Even though we lost the battle in the end, I managed to avenge my teammates by killing the 2 players who killed them! To be honest, they were low on health then and I was just firing randomly, but I am still happy with my achievement O(∩_∩)O~~]

<Juice>: [666, Sis Yao is the best!]

<Yao Loves Ice Cream> instantly sent Juice a smiley emoticon in response.

<Expert of the Monkeys>: [Awesome! All hail Sis Yao!]

<Yao Loves Ice Cream> also instantly replied Expert with a hearty laughter emoticon.

Lin Jiage stared at the newly popped up messages for a while. Remembering the exchange between the couple sitting in front of him, he carefully crafted a message to praise her and hit the ‘Send’ button.

<111111>: [Incredible, our upcoming sniper goddess!]

<Yao Loves Ice Cream>: [Omg, I was just praised by the master! Happy~]

<Yao Loves Ice Cream> sent a ‘Red Heart’ sticker.

<Yao Loves Ice Cream> sent a ‘Hug’ GIF.

Red Heart… Hug…

Soft Bun actually sent him a hearts and hugged him…

Staring at the red heart on the screen and the GIF showing two fluffy bunnies hugging each other, a red veil of embarrassment clouded over Lin Jiage’s face.

So, it turns out that Soft Bun loves to be praised too…

Moreover, she replied to me with three messages. It wouldn’t be good if I ignored her, right?

Therefore, after a short moment of deliberation, Lin Jiage opened up the emoticon menu to search for a suitable emoticon. The first one he found and sent out was a ‘Rose’ emoticon, followed quickly by a ‘Hug’ GIF as well.

When the two emoticons had been successfully sent out, the redness of his face had silently crept to his neck as well.

Does… Does this count as a hug between me and Soft Bun?
