He Tiantian's furious expression immediately turned into one of curiosity, "Yaoyao, who is it, who is it, who is it?"

"This…" s.h.i.+ Yao wasn't sure whether she was unwilling to face the truth or she was still holding onto that single thread of hope . Even though that name lingered at the tip of her tongue, she found herself unable to say it . " . . . I'll tell you all once I confirm it later on . "

"Ahhh, why are you keeping me in suspense? How about you whisper it to me first? Please, Yaoyao . Yao—" He Tiantian pleaded as she tugged on s.h.i.+ Yao's arm . At this moment, however, the meticulous Leng Nuan noticed that s.h.i.+ Yao was looking strange, so she pulled He Tiantian's arm and said, "Alright, Tiantian . Yaoyao already said that she'd tell us in the future, so we'll just have to wait till she's ready . "

While speaking, Leng Nuan locked eyes with He Tiantian, who caught the hint . He Tiantian took a closer look and realized that there was a hint of dejection between s.h.i.+ Yao's brows . She quickly changed the topic .

However, in the middle of their meal, Jiang Yue eventually asked a question which had been plaguing everyone's mind all this while . "Yaoyao, do you . . . know Lin Jiage?"

At this point, s.h.i.+ Yao had just finished her red-braised fish and was just about to make her move on the chicken thigh . But after hearing those words, she paused .

Over the past half year since their enrollment, Lin Jiage had been a common topic in their dormitory room . Because of what Lin Jiage said to her in the past, she had never told her roommates about her relations.h.i.+p with him .

However, given that someone had snapped a photo of her heading to his residence and posted it on the school forum, there was no point feigning ignorance anymore .

s.h.i.+ Yao pondered deeply for a moment, and eventually decided to respond with a half-truth, "Mm . My grandfather is a war comrade of his grandfather, so we do meet each other from time to time . "

Then, before He Tiantian and Jiang Yue could begin their outbursts, she quickly added, "However, I'm not very familiar with him, and he doesn't want other people to know that he's acquainted with me as well . That's why I didn't tell you guys about it . "

"Ohhhhh, I see . I was thinking that if you had a good relations.h.i.+p with him, I could maybe borrow your halo to admire my Adonis up close!" He Tiantian sighed regretfully . A moment later, she looked at s.h.i.+ Yao with gleaming eyes and asked, "Yaoyao, everyone says that Lin Jiage's family is very rich . Is that true?"

"Everyone also says that everyone that his family a.s.sociates with are distinguished figures of society . Is that true?"

"Also…"

s.h.i.+ Yao rolled her eyes . She decided not to satisfy He Tiantian's desire for gossip, so she lowered her head and tackled her chicken thigh silently .

Eight-thirty at night, [Expert of the Monkeys] punctually appeared in the [s.e.xy and Frisky] WeChat group: [Sis Yao, play?]

[Expert of the Monkeys] @'d [Yao Loves Ice Cream] .

s.h.i.+ Yao, who had just finished browsing through the additional four hundred responses in the forum thread, typed out a response in low spirits: [You all go ahead, I don't feel like playing today . ]

[Expert of the Monkeys]: Why? In a bad mood?

[Juice]: What happened? Did someone bully you?

s.h.i.+ Yao replied with a crying emoji before falling silent .

Actually, for a brief instant, the thought of complaining to them about her problem did flash across her mind . However, as the words gathered on her fingertips, she suddenly felt that it wasn't very commendable to share it . Besides, they didn't even know each other in real life, so she eventually decided to stay silent .

[Expert of the Monkeys]: Someone really did bully you? Sis Yao, tell me who is it . I'll help you destroy his entire family!

[Juice]: Who's the fool that dares to bully our Sis Yao? He must be tired of living!

Despite the messages that Expert and Juice sent in, s.h.i.+ Yao couldn't get in the mood to respond . Just as she was about to back out of the chat, someone in the group @'d her .

It was [111111]: [Go in the game, I'll show you something fun . ]

He Tiantian's furious expression immediately turned into one of curiosity, "Yaoyao, who is it, who is it, who is it?" .
