s.h.i.+ Yao frowned. It appeared that several things were a bit more… complicated than what she’d initially imagined…

In other words, that person didn’t change just recently. Or perhaps, that person had been like this from the very start, just that she realized it a little too late.

…

Walking out of the bathroom, Lin Jiage gestured to s.h.i.+ Yao and said, “Let’s go.”

The young lady had her head lowered, and she didn’t respond to his words.

“s.h.i.+ Yao?” Perplexed, Lin Jiage called out once more. Then, taking a closer look, he noticed a contemplative furrow in between her brows—she was seemingly oblivious to his presence. Thus, he walked up and placed his hand on her little head and gently ruffled her hair, “What are you thinking about?”

s.h.i.+ Yao instinctively raised her head to look at Lin Jiage before hurriedly casting away her thoughts. She quickly began tidying her messed-up hair while complaining unhappily, “I’m not zoning out. Also, don’t mess up my hair.”

“Since you’re so short, the closest thing to my hand is your head, so what else can I do?” As Lin Jiage spoke, he demonstrated this again by lifting his hand once more to ruffle her hair.

“I told you, don’t mess up my hair!” s.h.i.+ Yao glared at Lin Jiage with puffed up cheeks as she tidied up her hair again. “Besides, I’m not that short!”

Lin Jiage lifted his eyebrows as he patted s.h.i.+ Yao’s head lightly. “Alright, shorty. We’ll talk about your hair next time. Now, we have to deliver the presents to my sis.

“I don’t have my sister’s address at the moment, so I’ll have to give her a call first.”

As he said those words, Lin Jiage whipped out his phone with his free hand.

He intentionally lowered his phone so s.h.i.+ Yao could clearly see the word ‘Sis’ on the phone screen.

However, what s.h.i.+ Yao didn’t know was that the number behind the word ‘Sis’ had actually been changed to another phone number of his that he didn’t use frequently, and the phone had also been switched off at that.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable, please try again later.”

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable, please try again later.”

“Sorry…”

On the fifth unsuccessful dial, Lin Jiage couldn’t help but frown, “That’s weird. Why would my sis turn off her phone? What’s she doing?”

Lin Jiage dialed the number one more time, but it was still the same system message. His patience finally ran dry, and he said, “What a b.u.mmer. I was going to give her a surprise, but it turns out that her phone isn’t even on. Since that’s the case, I’m not going to bother anymore!”

Right after Lin Jiage spoke the words, the background music playing in the mall happened to switch to another song.

“A little simpler. Why can’t you be a little simpler when you speak? Please leave out that needless drama, you’re not an actor, so don’t act out those scenarios in your head…” ¹

There’s something really wrong with this mall…

Lin Jiage looked at the ceiling of the shopping mall before glancing down at the items he was holding. With a conflicted expression on his face, he began to say, “It looks like I won’t be able to give my sis her surprise anymore. But what should I do with all this stuff? I have no use for them at all…”

“I have no opinions on your performance, I just want to see how you’ll tie up the loose ends. The sorrow you play out is too superficial, like an untalented actor…”

Halfway through the song, which seemed determined to tear down his performance, Lin Jiage suddenly appeared to realize something, and he turned to look at s.h.i.+ Yao, “… Why don’t I give them to you instead?”

Saying this, Lin Jiage took out the fresh flowers and accessories he’d just bought and presented them to s.h.i.+ Yao as he continued, “You can treat it as a token of grat.i.tude for accompanying me this afternoon…”
