“Sorry, it was my fault.”

After Lin Jiayi stomped furiously back into the Lin Family Residence, Lin Jiage finally spoke up, “I’ll compensate you for those clothes that you have lost.”

To be more exact, he had chosen to wait until now to say these words. This was the only way for him to avoid getting taken advantage of by Lin Jiayi under the pretext of ‘By the way, me too’.

s.h.i.+ Yao hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands in a fl.u.s.ter, saying, “No need no need, you were the one who paid for those clothes in the first place anyway…”

Amidst her words, she got back onto the car and fastened her seatbelt before earnestly adding on, “… I was planning to return you the money we spent earlier today anyway.”

Lin Jiage was about to start the engine when he heard a phrase that surprised him. All of his actions immediately stopped on the spot as he asked in bewilderment, “You were going to return me my money?”

“Of course! It’s your money, it’s only right for me to pay you back!” s.h.i.+ Yao replied as a matter-of-factly, thinking nothing much of it.

Lin Jiage pressed his lips tightly a little as he slowly s.h.i.+fted his gaze from s.h.i.+ Yao’s face to the road ahead of him. All this while, he didn’t say a thing at all.

Noticing the abrupt silence drifting between them, s.h.i.+ Yao couldn’t help but notice that something was amiss. So, she tilted her head over and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lin Jiage quickly snapped out of it. He glanced at s.h.i.+ Yao and shook his head, replying, “Nah, nothing at all.”

After that, he turned his gaze back to a lamppost beside him. The residence located beside the lamppost had cultivated a wall of roses, and it was blooming in splendor.

This time around, he didn’t daze out for too long. Before s.h.i.+ Yao could voice her doubt once more, he had already stepped down on the accelerator.

Soft Bun is actually thinking of returning my money… Are the two of us so distant from one another in her heart?

In the past, when he wasn’t that interested in women, he had never paid so much attention to minor details before.

He remembered that there were quite a few times that Song Chaoxi fought with his girlfriend and ended up being evited out of his house, leaving him no choice but to miserably return back to Room 501 to stay with them. During those times, Song Chaoxi would share those petty reasons behind their fights, and he would always think that they were so unbelievably boring.

In his view then, he thought that it was a waste of energy for anyone to think so deeply into such minor matters.

So, in contrast to Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou, he would rarely put his view out during those moments.

However, one of these occasions suddenly surfaced in Lin Jiage’s moment at this moment.

The argument that time seemed to be about the father of Song Chaoxi’s girlfriend falling ill and desperately needed money for treatment. Song Chaoxi’s girlfriend didn’t come from a wealthy family, so in the end, she resorted to borrowing from a high-interest rate lender.

When Sogn Chaoxi learned about that matter, he flew into a rage. He berated her for not looking for him when she was in trouble.

That was the one time he saw such a major fallout between Song Chaoxi and his girlfriend. When Song Chaoxi returned to the dormitory and borrowed money from him, he said these words, “I feel like my girlfriend has never thought of having a future together with me before.”

He felt that Song Chaoxi was being a little ridiculous for blowing up a simple matter like that to such ma.s.sive proportions, so he replied Song Chaoxi with these words, “You’re a man, do you need to fuss over such minor details? You’re being too sensitive here!”

How did Song Chaoxi reply to him back then?

He said, “Boss, you don’t get it. It’s only when you genuinely love someone that you fuss over even the details. That’s why you want to be the first person she comes to whenever she’s in trouble.”

He didn’t bother arguing with Song Chaoxi any further than that because he was really unable to understand that point of view. He thought that the latter was being simply too concerned with too many things for no reason.

But at this very moment, when he heard that Soft Bun would return him his money, he suddenly felt like he could understand a little on how Song Chaoxi felt back then.

But it was a pity that he was different from Song Chaoxi.

Song Chaoxi was in a relations.h.i.+p with his girlfriend, so he could express his anger and displeasure. On the other hand, he didn’t even have the right to do so…
