Chapter 413: A Date With Soft Bun (1)
Before Lin Jiage could finish speaking, Lu Benlai had already risen to his feet. Clutching his stomach, he dashed to the toilet as he shouted, “Argh! My stomach is aching…”
That shameless rascal! How dare he snatch my lines…
Xia Shangzhou furiously ‘greeted’ everyone in Lu Benlai’s family before standing up too as he said, “Boss, I suddenly remembered that Lin Yimu has something to say to me. It’s very, very important, so I need to head over to take a look…”
Just like that, the bathroom door and the dormitory door were opened and slammed shut one after another, leaving Lin Jiage alone inside Room 501.
Lin Jiage sat on his chair with a frown. He stared at the ceiling for a while as he pondered about everything that had happened earlier on with a faint smile before he finally stood up and got to his bed.
…
After Shi Yao bade Mister Numbers goodbye, she put down her phone and went to take a bath.
By the time she was done washing up and tidying the room, it was already nearing twelve midnight.
Perhaps it was because the exams had just ended, and the tension within her had suddenly loosened, she suddenly found herself unable to get to sleep. She lay on the bed and allowed many miscellaneous thoughts flowing through her mind for a moment before she finally grabbed her phone, got onto the internet, and started watching a competition video of her adonis, Legend.
She had watched this video many, many times before, but even so, she could still feel blood racing through her veins at those exciting moments even now.
On the comments flowing through the screen of the video[1], she noted that someone had written [The elusive L has posted something on Weibo[2]!].
She quickly backed out of the video platform and tapped into her Weibo application.
She wasn’t particularly active in Weibo, so she had very few followers too. Needless to say, her posts were also pathetically few as well.
Nevertheless, one thing that was very noteworthy about her Weibo was that every single one of her posts was related to Legend, and the only person she was following was Legend too.
From the main feed, she tapped into Legend’s Weibo profile page and saw that he had posted an update earlier in the afternoon.
Actually, her adonis wasn’t particularly active in Weibo either. Despite having over 10 million followers[3], he only had 10 updates thus far. Even the latest update was nothing more than an advertisement for one of his recent activities, offering some signed goods for a few lucky fans who reblogged his message.
While the content was very dry, Shi Yao still earnestly read it from the start to the end. After she was done, she unhesitatingly joined the reblogging army which was numbering in the hundred thousand by now.
After clicking on the ‘Share’ button, she pondered for a moment before adding in a message: [Increasing the odds for the lucky draw.]
She felt that the chances of being chosen for the signed goods were simply too low, so she continued to reblog it a few more times before backing out of Weibo.
She tabbed back to her browser to finish up her video, which she had only watched to the halfway mark. By the time she was done with it, she was finally starting to feel a little drowsy, so she plucked out her earpiece.
She was just about to put down her phone and go to rest when she noticed that she had some notifications on WeChat. She tapped into WeChat and saw that it was an advertisement coming from her classmates. Thinking nothing much of it, she was just about to back out of WeChat when she suddenly caught sight of the chat she had with Liang Mumu, which had been bumped up due to the message Liang Mumu had sent her earlier.
There was a brief moment of hesitation before she finally tapped into the chat to watch the video Liang Mumu had sent her earlier. She earnestly watched it from the start to the end, and just like that, the drowsiness that had just caught up with her suddenly disappeared…
…
At the same time, in Room 501, Lin Jiage, who had been lying on his bed for a very long time now, was just about to head to sleep when his ringtone suddenly sounded.
He opened his eyes and glanced at the screen. It was a notification that he had set before: [30th, date with Soft Bun. Location: Mountain Changming. Time: 11A.M.]
[1] Video streaming websites in China, such as Bilibili, has a function that allows commenters to post comments on the video itself. It would appear in the form of comments flowing from the left to the right, and it can be switched on and off depending on the experience you want.
[2] Weibo is a microblogging platform, and it has a standing similar to Facebook in China.
[3] Just for comparison, the most followed account in Weibo has 118 million followers, and it’s a record held by He Jiong, a really famous host whose reputation is pretty much on the same level as Yoo Jae-suk in Korea.
