Chapter 427: Lin Jiage Fell Out of Love (1)
It was already twelve at night when Shi Yao got home.
As it was alreadyte, she headed straight for the bed after washing herself up, readying herself for sleep.
She had walked a fair bit during the day, such that she was already nodding off even while she was in the car. Yet, as soon as she got on the bed, her drowsiness seemed to evaporate away.
She had no idea what was going on, but when she closed her eyes, she would remember how Lin Jiage looked while she was heading down the mountain.
He was so happy to see her in the morning, and even during the climb, he took care of her very gentlemanly.
Why would he suddenly act in such a way after the meal?
Shi Yao carefully thought about everything that had happened during dinner. It seemed like it was after she mentioned that Grandpa Lin was feigning illness and that they could annul their engagement now that he started acting a little amiss.
Could it be possible that he… he…
Shi Yao nearly leaped in fright at the possibility that she thought of.
Have I eaten the guts of a bear! How could I have thought that Lin Jiage would feel unhappy just because I proposed the annulment of our engagement?
It is true that he’s no longer as hateful as he used to be, and he treats me quite nice even. In fact, there are some things that he does that really touches me… But that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t want to annul the engagement with me…
Shi Yao couldn’t help but recall the words that he had said to her a long time ago… Words that had haunted her and crushed her self-esteem.
‘I don’t want to! Such an ugly, dirty, and shabby-looking girl, I don’t want such a fiancée!’

‘My grandfather is the only one who acknowledges you as my fiancée. As for me, you’d better not dream about it. There’s no way I’ll ever ept you as my fiancée in this lifetime!’
‘I’ll say it clearly for you today, so listen closely. If, I, Lin, Jia, Ge, fail, to, cancel, my, engagement, with, you, I, will, write, my, name, backward!’
Shi Yao pressed her lips together as she pulled the nket over her head, attempting to suppress the hint of sorrow that had just started arising from the depths of her heart.
The drowsiness must have been getting to me for me to actually have such thoughts… How could Lin Jiage possibly be interested in me? The reason why he didn’t say anything must be because he’s thinking about when he shoulde clean with his family about this matter, or that there’s something else bugging his mind.
…
G University male dormitory, Room 501.
“It’s already 12 midnight, but our boss isn’t back yet. It looks like our boss doesn’t intend to be returning tonight…” Lu Bei remarked casually while ying a game on his phone.
“I thought that other than that dog Song Chaoxi, I’ll be the first one to be free from singlehood amongst the three of us, and our boss will be thest one. Who could have thought that our boss would actually rocket beyond us…” Xia Shangzhou replied as his fingers flew around the screen of his phone. “… Little Lai, left! There’s a camper at the left, hit him!”
“Chill, I already saw him! Alright, he’s killed!” Lu Bei reloaded his bullets before responding to what Xia Shangzhou just said, “… I felt the same way too, just that I thought that I would be the first one to be free of singlehood and our boss will be thest one. No wonder they say that the world is an unpredictable ce!”
Xia Shangzhou: “Aiyo, it looks like we two lonely men will be doomed to rely on one another in this forlorn Room 501…”
Lu Bei: “I didn’t think that we would marry out two of our mates in the blink of an eye. This room suddenly feels so empty… I’m starting to understand how a father feels when he delivers his daughter to the hand of another man…”
Before Lu Bei could finish speaking, the door to the room suddenly opened.
