s.h.i.+ Yao was only speechless for about a dozen seconds, but within these dozen seconds, managed to send her three consecutive messages .

[Why aren't you taking the red packet?]

[Are you still angry?]

[?]

Staring at the messages on the screen, s.h.i.+ Yao couldn't help wondering, 'Is this what they mean by . . . being forced to accept the kindness of others?'

Seeing that there was no way around it, she ran over to the group and collected all of those red packets .

The value in every single one of those red packets was the highest sum possible: 200 RMB . Thus, in an instant, the money in her wallet changed from a single-digit 2 RMB into a four-digit 1,202 RMB .

1,200 RMB . . . This sum left her feeling deeply pressured .

With such a thought in mind, she sent a private message to : [About the red packets, I think their values are too high . It makes me feel a little uneasy…]

It was impossible to tell whether Mister Numbers had fallen asleep or he'd run off to deal with other matters, but it took a while before s.h.i.+ Yao finally received his response .

: [It'll be fine once you get used to it . ]

It'll be fine once I get used to it . . . What does that mean?

Is he saying that as long as I get used to collecting his red packets, I won't feel uneasy anymore?

But they were only online friends; they hadn't even met in real life yet! There shouldn't be any reason for him to keep sending red packets to her . So, those words should just be a casual remark, right? Since that's the case, she shouldn't think about it too much and just let it be . . .

In any case, since she'd already taken Mister Numbers' money, it would feel wrong to not reply to his messages . After pondering for a moment, she began explaining why she'd blacklisted him last night: [So, about last night, I thought that you blacklisted me because I killed you, so I blacklisted you back . To be honest, I never thought that the player would end up being you . I thought it was a bot!]

. . .

Having spent the entire night awake, religiously checking his phone now and then for new notifications, Lin Jiage suddenly felt exhaustion sweeping across his consciousness after receiving s.h.i.+ Yao's message .

As s.h.i.+ Yao kept sending him messages, he had no choice but to suppress his drowsiness and continue chatting with her .

Just that, upon seeing that she thought that the person she'd killed was a bot, his drowsiness suddenly receded by half .

Soft Bun actually compared him to a bot . . .

Without any hesitation, he immediately replied: [I was a little busy then, so my attention wasn't on the game . ]

. . .

Upon seeing 's message, s.h.i.+ Yao immediately recalled the small conversation the other party had with Juice regarding Peppa Pig last night, so she typed on the keyboard and replied: [Was the pet you're raising making trouble?]

. . .

Lin Jiage was confused for quite a long time before realizing that the pet s.h.i.+ Yao was referring to was Peppa Pig .

But Peppa Pig is her . . .

While Lin Jiage was at a loss on how to respond to s.h.i.+ Yao's message, the latter sent in another message: [Is your pet a cat or a dog? Since you call it Peppa Pig, it's really a pig, is it?]

[Actually, I've been wanting to raise a cat or a dog myself, but I'm worried that I won't be able to take responsibility for it till the end . . . Does your Peppa Pig go around peeing and p.o.o.ping everywhere?]

Miss . . . How do you expect me to answer your question?

But on the other end of the conversation, s.h.i.+ Yao, who was unaware who Peppa Pig was referring to, continued sending messages over: [Is it very adorable and fun to play with?]

Well, she's indeed adorable, but as for fun to play with . . . Can you clarify what you mean when you say 'play'?

As if choked on words, Lin Jiage could only stare at his screen in silence for a very long time before he finally found the words in him to respond: [It's quite adorable . ]

. . .

Because she was in cla.s.s, s.h.i.+ Yao wasn't able to respond to 's messages anymore . By the time her cla.s.s ended and she took a look at her phone, she found that had sent her a new message .

: [There's one thing I'd like to ask . Do you know our school's Lin Jiage?]

Ah . . . Why is Mister Numbers suddenly asking this question?

s.h.i.+ Yao replied honestly: [I do . ]

Then, she added: [What's wrong?]

: [What do you think about him?]

s.h.i.+ Yao was only speechless for about a dozen seconds, but within these dozen seconds, managed to send her three consecutive messages . [Why arent you taking the red packet?] [Are you still angry?] [?] Staring at the messages on the screen, s.h.i.+ Yao couldnt help wondering, Is this what they mean by . being forced to accept the kindness of others?
