Chapter 99: This Is Really Shortening My Life (1)

…

By the time the tenth game ended, it was already midnight.

Juice and Expert, who had lessons the next day, @’d [Yao Loves Ice Cream] and said that they were going to turn in for the night.

Shi Yao replied with an “okay”, and a moment later, unable to hold back her curiosity in the end, she privately messaged [Expert of the Monkeys] and asked: [What happened to your boss? He seems a little out of it today.]

[Expert of the Monkeys]: I have no idea. Juice and I are puzzled too. He’s never acted like this before.

[Yao Loves Ice Cream]: Don’t you all live in the same dormitory room?

[Expert of the Monkeys]: We are, but Boss didn’t return to our room today. It’s the first time our boss has stayed out in the middle of the school term. I bet that something’s up~

[Expert of the Monkeys]: Sis Yao, is it possible that Boss is secretly doing something behind my and Juice’s back? Hehehe

[…] Shi Yao replied with a line of ellipses as she thought, This is the first time I’m seeing a guy who is more nosey than a girl!

After sending out the message, Shi Yao, who had scorned [Expert of the Monkeys] for being nosey a moment earlier, couldn’t help but tap on her screen once more.

[Your boss didn’t return to your dorm room tonight? If that’s the case, there’s a good chance that he managed to find himself a girlfriend…]

[Perhaps after tonight, your boss will be virtuous no more! Waaaa!!! Your boss has finally met his own Yin Zhiping…]

Shi Yao and [Expert of the Monkeys] chatted for quite a while before bidding each other farewell, thus concluding their exciting gossip session.

The bedroom was very silent, except for the muffled sound of flowing water coming from the bathroom.

If I’m not wrong, it feels like Lin Jiage has been in the bathroom for about a half an hour now… Does he always take this long to bathe?

How scary… A man like him actually lives more delicately than a woman like me…

Without anyone to play with, Shi Yao zoned out for a moment before she tapped into a video streaming app to watch “A Bite of China” to idle her time away.

Shi Yao had no idea how long she watched the program for. She only recalled exhaustion gradually coming upon her, lulling her into a deep sleep. Even then, the sound of flowing water still continued to echo from the bathroom…

…

After more than an hour in a cold bath, Lin Jiage finally regained his composure.

Turning off the tap, he wiped down his body and switched into a clean set of casual clothes. He stood before the bathroom door and internally recited ‘1+1 equals to two’ before opening it and walking out.

He walked straight to the table and grabbed the hair dryer to blow dry his hair. At that instant, he saw reflected on the mirror a young lady lying on the mat with an unseemly posture, deeply asleep.

Soft Bun sure has a big heart. She dares to fall asleep so casually despite being in the same room with another man…

Lin Jiage stared at Shi Yao for a while before he suddenly put down his hair dryer. He walked up to her, bent down, and carried her up.

She was probably really exhausted, so much so that she didn’t wake up even when he moved her.

He carefully placed her on the bed, and just as he was about to get up and leave, his eyes couldn’t help but fall on her chest…

His T-shirt was clearly a little too large for her size, and he could vaguely see her breasts from this angle.

It was a momentary glance, and Lin Jiage hurriedly diverted his gaze away. With a crimson face, he quickly covered her body tightly with a blanket.

After which, he stood up. But it was as if someone had cast a magic spell over his feet—he simply stood there without moving.

Staring at her deeply sleeping form, he found himself going through internal turmoil. Eventually, his rationality lost to his desires, and he slowly lowered his body towards her.
