Being rejected in her request for an intimate relationship had already embarrassed her enough. If she hadn't brought it up, and he hadn't either, she might have felt a little awkward for a day or two before it blew over.
By tonight, this matter had essentially passed.
She might have been muddled by his constant use of the word "serve," leading her to ask the most awkward question possible.
What if Sheng Kuang simply didn't want to establish an intimate relationship with her? Her question would make her seem completely insensitive.
Lin Jing cradled her phone, feeling uneasy for a long while. Seeing the chat interface remain silent, she gradually relaxed.
It seemed she had retracted her message fast enough that he hadn't seen it at all.
It was getting late, so she put down her phone and went to take a shower.
When she picked up her phone again, about forty minutes had passed.
There were two unread message notifications, highlighted in red.
Sheng Kuang glanced at the screen. Chen Jing's face was almost plastered to the camera. "No, I'm not eating."
"Alright." Chen Jing was about to hang up when he caught the smile playing on Sheng Kuang's lips. "You..."
He was about to ask what he was smiling about when he heard a dialogue from Sheng Kuang's computer—
Host: "Do you think you're handsome?"
Sheng Kuang: "Quite handsome."
Chen Jing immediately stopped himself. He stared at Sheng Kuang through the video, incredulous, for two seconds. "...You are so narcissistic!"
