Chapter 191: The Trunk of Bliss (1)

Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Milkbiscuit

The car finally arrived at Shi Yao’s doorstep.

Just as Shi Yao was just about to say “Thank you” and “Goodbye”, Lin Jiage suddenly spoke up, “I have some stuff in the car trunk. Take a look and see if you are interested in them.”

This didn’t seem to be the first time that he’d forcefully interrupted her…

Shi Yao silently swallowed back her words and replied with an “Orh” before getting off the car.

She headed to the back of the car and pressed the ‘open’ button. The lid slowly opened up, and a trunk filled with transparent pink bags came into sight. These transparent bags were tied with ribbons of all colors.

However, what caught Shi Yao’s attention the most weren’t the girlish bags or the ribbons but what was stored within them.

Passion fruits, loquats, watermelons, pineapples, pomegranates, and potato chips… These are all my favorites!

Wahhh, this is really a trunk filled with bliss… What should I do? I really want to become this trunk right now!

While Shi Yao was staring unblinkingly at the treasure trove she had found, Lin Jiage got off the car and walked over to her side. “How is it? Are you interested?”

“I am I am I am! This is simply too interes—” Without thinking deeply about it, Shi Yao answered Lin Jiage’s question instantaneously. However, halfway through her sentence, she suddenly paused. While her eyes were still glued to the transparent bags, she asked Lin Jiage questioningly, “… Are these…”

She was about to ask him if these bags were for her.

But before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly remembered that Lin Jiage had only asked whether she was interested or not, rather than whether she liked them or not. Thus, the latter half of the sentence ended up jamming in her throat…

On the other hand, Lin Jiage thought that Shi Yao was asking where the food came from, so he was silent for a moment. Instead of telling her that he had the driver prepare these according to her taste, he casually replied, “Oh, these are some gifts that a girl gave me while confessing to me.”

Shi Yao’s eyes widened at his words.

Noticing her response, it suddenly dawned on Lin Jiage that he might’ve found the wrong excuse to explain the items.

While berating himself internally for his foolishness, he quickly thought of a script explaining that the girl had forced these items on him, and he had no intention of accepting them in the first place.

But just as those words were on the tip of his tongue, Shi Yao’s face had already lit up, and she exclaimed in admiration, “Wah, your confession gift sure is wonderful! That girl is so thoughtful!”

“…” Lin Jiage ended up choking on the script he’d prepared.

In the end, her reaction wasn’t because a girl had confessed to him; it was because of the food…

He had specially prepared these bags of food with his own money, but the compliments ended up going to a non-existent girl he had fabricated… Could this be considered as lifting a boulder to smash one’s own feet?

Forget it. Since that girl was somebody I made up, I’ll just treat it as though she was complimenting me then…

With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage said, “If you’re interested, you can bring it all back with you.”

Ah…

Even though Shi Yao craved deeply for them, she still shook her head after a second of internal struggling. She forcefully tore her gaze away from the trunk and said, “That’s not good. These items were given to you by someone else, so how can I accept them?”

Lin Jiage replied calmly, “I only asked you because I know that you like to eat. If you really don’t want them, I’ll just throw them away in a garbage bin by the road.”

Are you treating me like a waste disposal stop?

But then again, if all garbage were like that, I’d be willing to be a waste disposal stop for life!

Shi Yao didn’t get mad at Lin Jiage’s awful sounding words. She pondered for a moment and eventually decided that there was nothing wrong with becoming a waste disposal stop. She smiled at Lin Jiage and thanked him before taking the trunk of bliss back home.
