1 Let’s Cancel Our Engagement 1 (1/2)

For a long time now, there was something that Lin Jiage wanted to tell Shi Yao. However, it would be much, much later before he would get the chance to say it.

”Every moment with you was beautiful.”——Ye Fei Ye. ”My Beautiful Time With You.”

-

It was already late at night. Shi Yao was lying on her bed with her eyes closed, but sleep refused to come to her. Eventually, she gave up and fumbled for the cell phone by her pillow before pulling aside her sheets and heading for the window.

Shi Yao gazed into the deep night for a long moment, and finally, as if having made up her determination, she lifted her phone, swiped the screen, and tapped on the 'Messages' icon.

She swiped down her screen before stopping at the name at the very bottom of the messages menu—Lin Jiage.

Shi Yao stared at those two words for a very long time as her eyes flickered with uncertainty. But eventually, she still tapped on the name.

Her initial intention was to make a call, but before her finger could reach the 'Call' icon, she abruptly halted.

Her expression reflected her internal struggle for a brief moment before she opted to send a text message instead.

Tapping on the keyboard, she crafted a message:

[Lin Jiage, this is Shi Yao.]

[The reason I'm texting is to tell you that I want to cancel our engagement.]

After typing out those two sentences, Shi Yao didn't even bother checking what she'd just typed before tapping on the 'Send' button.

When a notification sound confirmed that the message was successfully sent, Shi Yao heaved a long sigh of relief before gazing intently at her phone screen.

It was already two in the morning, so Shi Yao assumed that Lin Jiage was most likely asleep. It would probably be tomorrow before he responded to her message.

For a moment, she stared at the message she'd just sent before she switched off her screen to return to bed and sleep. However, before she could reach her bedside, the phone in her hand rang—ding dong! She instinctively lifted her phone to look at the screen. Surprisingly, Lin Jiage had replied to her message. His answer was short and simple, containing only a single word: [Fine].

Other than that, there was nothing else.
