Since the day he’d stirred up a huge commotion to wish her a happy birthday and confess to her, she had intentionally put some distance between them.

Most likely, he had also noticed that as well. After two failed attempts to ask her out, he had changed his strategy and began working from He Tiantian’s side.

At the start, He Tiantian would invite them out for dinner, saying that Han Jing wanted to treat them. However, perhaps due to Shi Yao’s frequent rejection, Han Jing tried to get He Tiantian not to mention his name when inviting the others out for him in the future. Fortunately, He Tiantian didn’t do as he requested and honestly told Shi Yao everything.

Actually, over the past few days, Shi Yao had wanted to find some time to hash things out with Han Jing. However, due to the Sports Meet, his call ended up coming in before she could make a move… Since that was the case, she might as well take this opportunity to settle things.

With this thought in mind, Shi Yao took her phone and walked out of the dormitory room. She looked for a quiet place before picking up Han Jing’s call. “Senior Han.”

“Shi Yao…” Han Jing’s voice sounded slightly subdued. A short moment of silence loomed before he finally continued, “… Did you get together with Lin Jiage?”

Even though Shi Yao was perplexed about how Han Jing came to that conclusion, she decided not to ask about it. In any case, there was no way she could be with Lin Jiage. When Grandpa Lin finally recovered, the only link between them, the child betrothal, would be destroyed as well.

She didn’t want to talk too much about whatever there was between Lin Jiage and her, so she gave a curt reply, “No.”

Han Jing: “Is that true?”

“It’s true…” Shi Yao replied before pausing for a moment. She knew what Han Jing was going to say next, but before he could form the words, she moved a step ahead of him, “… Senior Han, the reason why I picked up your call is because I wanted to straighten things out. I understand and appreciate the feelings you have for me, but I’m sorry, I can’t accept them.

“I already rejected you back when we ate at the fish restaurant. I thought that things would end there, but now I realize that you never intended to do that.

“Senior Han, I don’t want to hurt you, but it would be very shameless of me to keep you hanging. So I hope that we can just stay as distant classmates to each other. Let’s not keep in contact anymore.

“Senior Han, thank you for being friends with me…” Shi Yao paused for a moment. “Goodbye.”

Then, she hung up the phone.

Like she said before, she would never be with him. If he was reluctant to give up on her, it would be best for her to avoid him so that it wouldn’t give him false hope.

Because that would only hurt him deeper.

…

At the same time, in the male dormitory, Room 501…

After browsing through everything relating to Shi Yao on the school forum, Lu Benlai drank a mouthful of Mai Dong to calm his nerves before exclaiming in shock, “I didn’t know that Little Junior was actually such an impressive person!”

The equally shocked Xia Shangzhou also drank a mouthful of Mai Dong before he slowly turned his head toward Lin Jiage. “Boss, you really picked up a treasure this time!”

Seeing all the posts related to Shi Yao on the computer screen, Lin Jiage’s eyebrows lifted proudly.

Lu Benlai also turned around to look at Lin Jiage and asked, “Boss, did you know from the start that Little Junior is this incredible? Is that the reason why you started your relationship with her?”

Do I look like I can predict the future?

Lin Jiage was just about to respond with those words, but he eventually decided against it. Three seconds later, he slowly looked at Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou and spoke smoothly, “There are countless roads that lead to Rome, but I was born right in Rome.”

In other words, they had to travel far and search hard to find a treasure like Soft Bun, while on the other hand, he was born with Soft Bun!
