Time slowly ticked by, but as the sun set in the west, dyeing the entire city orange, Lin Jiage still wasn't able to contact s.h.i.+ Yao . Parking the electric scooter by the side of the road, he called Lin Jiayi .

The phone rang for a moment before cutting off . Then his phone vibrated, and a notification popped up on the screen .

Lin Jiayi: [Out with Mom . Client . ]

Lin Jiage thought for a moment before typing: [Do you have any friends that you're very close to?]

While Lin Jiayi couldn't exactly be called a girl, she should still know a female's mind far better than him .

Lin Jiayi immediately replied: [I do . ]

A second later, another message came in from Lin Jiayi: [My very close friend is money . ]

Lin Jiage: " . . . "

A moment later, Lin Jiage typed on the keyboard and sent: [Can you give me something that can breathe?]

Lin Jiayi: [Something that can breathe…]

Lin Jiayi: [Then, the panda, our national treasure . It looks so expensive that it might even be worth more than money . ]

I knew that I shouldn't have asked her . . . Lin Jiage: [Another restriction . It should be a human . ]

Lin Jiayi: [Then you should've just asked who I was closest with from the start! What do you mean 'something that can breathe', who in the world taught you this language?]

Lin Jiage felt the urge to smash his phone .

Lin Jiayi: [The person I'm closest with is, of course, my little cutie Yaoyao . ]

Soft Bun?

Lin Jiage was unwilling to use Soft Bun even for a hypothetical situation, so he asked again: [Other than that?]

Lin Jiayi: [Since you're asking me who I'm closest with, it's a given that there would only be one person . If there are two people, can they still be considered to be a close friend? Or do you have two people who you love the most in your heart? You might be able to love multiple people at once, but I can't . I'm walking down the faithful route, the faithful route!]

Alright, I'll acknowledge the first part, but what's with the second part? Faithful . . . Is this a term you should be using to refer to Soft Bun?

Lin Jiage felt deeply displeased . Nevertheless, he still got to the main point: [Fine . Take for example, if Yaoyao were to betray you, how would you feel?]

In the WeChat messages, it showed Lin Jiayi was typing for some time before a message finally came in .

Filled with expectations, Lin Jiage tapped in to take a look: [Yaoyao will never betray me . ]

Lin Jiage: [Hypothetically . ]

Lin Jiayi: [Such a hypothetical situation doesn't exist . ]

Lin Jiayi: [I believe in Yaoyao . ]

Lin Jiayi: [Do you not believe in Yaoyao?]

Lin Jiage: [This has nothing to do with whether I believe in her or not . Like I said, hypothetically! Do you know what hypothetically means? It means an example, a pseudo situation!]

Lin Jiayi: [The recipient rejects partic.i.p.ating in your hypothetical situation . ]

Lin Jiage gritted his teeth: [You forced me to marry you, the emperor, as your queen when we were kids . Isn't that a hypothetical situation too?]

Lin Jiayi: [Can you be compared to Yaoyao? You can be casually used in a hypothetical situation, but not Yaoyao . No means no!]

Lin Jiage immediately whipped out his trump card: [Offer a price . How much will it cost to make you willing to do this hypothetical situation?]

Lin Jiayi: [No price will do . ]

d.a.m.n it, she's not taking the carrot or the stick?

Giving up, Lin Jiage backed out of his WeChat and continued calling s.h.i.+ Yao .

He tried three times, but all three were in vain .

After hanging up the phone, he saw that Lin Jiayi had messaged him: [Don't think that I don't know that this is another one of your little schemes . If I did this hypothetical situation with you, you would definitely threaten to give this chat record to Yaoyao and blackmail me into giving back your money . I'm telling you right now, I won't fall for your trap!]
