Chapter 62

Jing Huan blinked, staring at the two lines of text on his phone screen.

The tone was fierce and somewhat blunt.

As he read, the corners of his mouth suddenly curved upward, the smile growing wider and wider until he burst out laughing.

Twelve minutes, and this was all you could come up with??

Jing Huan gleefully picked up his phone, curled his index finger, and tapped twice on the avatar of the person he longed for.

What a scumbag.

If there wasn’t even the tiniest flutter in your heart just now, I’ll take your last name.

Although Jing Huan had never been in a relationship, he had at least seen how relationships worked.

Lu Wenhao often acted like this in the dorm, clutching his phone nervously and asking, “Holy shit, how should I reply to this message?!”

After agonizing for a few minutes, he’d reply to his “wife” with a creepy, lovesick expression: “Oh, got it.”

Jing Huan realized the longer time passed, the more he felt Lu Wenhao hadn’t been wronged by getting scammed back then.

Xiang Huaizhi returned home and placed the chicken feet on the coffee table next to the mahjong table.

“Thank you, baby Xiang, why so slow?” While playing cards, Xiang’s mother still found time to bat her eyelashes at her son.

Xiang Huaizhi instantly pictured Jing Huan in a suit, winking at him.

The boy’s eyes were pure and bright, exuding an effortless elegance that seemed to captivate every woman in the room.

Xiang Huaizhi snapped out of his thoughts and responded with a quiet “Mm.” After greeting his mother’s friends, he turned and went back to his room.

The door had just closed when he became the main topic at the mahjong table.

“It’s been a while since we last saw him, but Xiao Xiang is growing handsomer by the day—he’s clearly inherited all your best traits.”

“Absolutely, and he’s tall too, with excellent grades. If my own child were even half as outstanding as Xiao Xiang, I’d save myself so much worry.”

Xiang’s mother took a sip of tea and shook her head leisurely. “Handsome looks are useless if he can’t attract a single romantic interest at his age. I envy all of you who get to experience the joy of catching your kids in puppy love.”

Xiang Huaizhi returned to his room, changed into different clothes, and lay down on the bed.

He had just stood outside for ten minutes. The chilly wind on a late autumn night was biting, and his fingers were still cold.

His phone vibrated. He lifted it and brought it up to his face.

Xiao Jing ya: Wuwuwu…

Little Jing: From now on, I won’t mess around with any men other than you, brother. Please don’t be mad at me T▽T

Xiang Huaizhi frowned slightly, his expression complicated.

He had almost admitted it just then.

At the time, he stood at the supermarket entrance, staring at the word “yes” in the typing box for a long while before finally pursing his lips and deleting it.

Something has gone out of control, he could feel it.

Xiang Huaizhi was lost in thought when his phone chimed softly twice more.

Xiao Jing: When you were alive, I belonged to you.

Xiao Jing: After you passed away, I became your little widow ヾ(≧≦*)o

Xiang Huaizhi: “…”

That’s not what I actually said.

He frowned slightly, not understanding how a usually well-behaved and proper boy could be so flirtatious online.

Xiang: I wasn’t being harsh with you.

Xiang: Do you usually talk like this in real life too?

Xiaojingya: How could that be!!!

Xiaojingya: No matter where I am, I only talk like this to you, brother =3=

Xiang: …

Xiang: It’s very late, let’s sleep.

Xiaojingya: It’s only nine o’clock, brother. Are we going to sleep already >.<
