The Beautiful Time With You

Chapter 777: As Long As You’re Willing To Come, It’s Never Too Late (1)

“... I simply feel that your happiness is more important.”

So, if you want freedom, I’ll give it to you, even if the reason behind this freedom is that I want to let go of your hand.

Even though I’ve put in a lot of effort to be with you, there’s one thought that hasn’t changed from the beginning to the end: I really like you.

Even though there were some words that Lin Jiage didn’t say out loud, Shi Yao understood them.

She understood the grievance hidden behind Lin Jiage’s words.

She understood that Lin Jiage had proposed to break off the engagement with her in order to fulfill his own happiness.

She thought that the happiest thing in a person’s life was to meet someone who would never abandon you.

There was a saying that I wanted to say out loud in the office in the afternoon, but I was unable to do so. I wanted to say the same thing at night, but due to my embarrassment, I turned around and ran away. Yet, at this very moment.., the words flowed out from Shi Yao’s mouth naturally and smoothly, “Lin Jiage...”

“HM?”

“I like you.”

The other end of the line fell silent for a long while before another voice that was exactly the same as the previous one came through. However, the tone of the voice changed from a question to a statement, “HM.”

“I’ve never confessed to a boy before, so I don’t know how to do it. There were some words that I wanted to say in the afternoon, but I didn’t know how to say them. In truth, no matter how much nonsense I said in the afternoon or how much I dragged you along, there was only one reason for me to do it, and that was because I like you... just like you, I like you, and I really like you.”

“I might be a little slow in reacting, but I might also be a little lacking in confidence and fear. All in all, I’m late. I’m sorry for making you wait so long, Lin Jiage...”

Even though they were separated by the phone, and it wasn’t as if they were facing each other in the afternoon, Shi Yao still felt a little embarrassed after telling Lin Jiage everything she knew from the bottom of her heart. Thus, before Lin Jiage could react.., she hurriedly took the phone from her ear and hung up.

Soon, Lin Jiage dialed the number again.

Shi Yao didn’t pick up the call, and her face reddened as she hid under the blanket.

The next second, the phone screen lit up, and Lin Jiage stopped calling. Instead, he sent a new message: [ it’s not too late. ]

[ as long as you’re willing to come, it’s never too late. ]

Shi Yao didn’t reply to Lin Jiage’s message, but after burying her face in the blanket, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

He Tiantian was sleeping on the bed opposite Shi Yao, and upon seeing her reaction, he couldn’t help but tease her, [ the current yaoyao reeks of the sour stench of love! ]

“No!”Shi Yao abruptly raised her head and rebuked he tiantian.

A second later, Shi Yao spoke up once more, “Even if there is, it’s still the smell of freshly baked bread!”

After saying those words, Shi Yao rubbed her stomach and said, “Speaking of freshly baked bread, I really want to eat it...”

At this point, Shi Yao couldn’t help but let out a faint sigh, “If I were to stay at Lin Jiage’s house, if he were at home, if I were to say those words just now, I would definitely be able to eat freshly baked bread in less than two hours...”

He Tiantian burped.

Jiang Yue sighed, “I’m so full!”

Shi Yao looked at He Tiantian in confusion, then at Jiang Yue, before finally turning her gaze to Leng Nuan.

Leng Nuan met Shi Yao’s gaze and closed the book she was reading, “They’re referring to the dog food you spilled.”
