My Real-life Dating Sim Game - Chapter 72

Lai Jiayi instantly looked up and caught the sight of a floating silver car. The car stopped in front of the bar, and a man came out.

The young man looked down at his bangle, not paying attention to anything in front of him. He still wore three-layered clothes like the one he wore before, but tonight, he folded his suit sleeve up to his elbow.

Lai Jiayi instantly knew why he did that.

‘It must be to hide the wet part on his sleeve! The one I use to wipe my tears. Ah, but why doesn’t he change his clothes? Or maybe he goes straight here from his company…’

Lai Jiayi thought as she turned around, pretending not to see Zhao Yang.

‘It will be quite hard to tail him if I’m discovered.’

[Jia, I think we should hide behind that pillar over there, quack.] Yaya suddenly dragged Lai Jiayi’s collar before slipping inside the girl’s sweater again.

[This way, Zhao Yang won’t see you, quack.]

[Okay.] Lai Jiayi walked bit by bit to the side, thinking that she should hide until Zhao Yang entered the bar when the man’s voice suddenly sounded behind her.

“Lai Jiayi?”

!! The heck?!

Lai Jiayi flinched. The girl instantly hid her face behind her hair as she waved her hand. “Y-you got the wrong person!” Lai Jiayi ran to the pedestrian as fast as she could.

[How the heck does he recognize me?! I only saw his face for a few seconds before turning around! That guy was looking at his bangle. He shouldn’t have seen me– ]

Lai Jiayi hadn’t finished her speech when someone tugged her back collar and pulled her.

! F*ck who is it–

“Motherf*cker– ” Lai Jiayi subconsciously turned around and launched a punch to the culprit pulling her clothes. She didn’t hesitate to aim for the face, but the person caught the girl’s fist effortlessly.

BRUGH.

The man then looked down at the girl with a frown on his face.

“Hey. What are you doing?” His cold voice rang clearly despite the noisy background sound around them.

Time seemed to stop, and the bustling street felt silent for Lai Jiayi.

‘T-this voice…’

Lai Jiayi froze on the spot. The girl slowly looked up to see Zhao Yang’s face right in front of her face. The moon shone behind the man’s head, illuminating his face.

Lai Jiayi could clearly see Zhao Yang’s expression, even though the lighting around her was a bit dim.

The man’s face looked as cold as usual, but one could see a tinge of worry in his eyes. Even though he was frowning, he didn’t look like he’s mad.

“! Eh, so it is really Zhao Yang?? Gah. I almost punched him!! Wait. Did he follow me here?!”

Lai Jiayi broke in a cold sweat. The girl glanced at her right fist, caught in the man’s palm, and couldn’t help but shuddered.

“G-good evening, boss…” Lai Jiayi kept staring at her fist, not knowing when the guy would release her. Strangely, she didn’t feel any symptoms of her phobia even when the man was touching her bare skin.

“…” Zhao Yang didn’t answer and just stared at Lai Jiayi’s face. The man slowly released Lai Jiayi’s hand and sighed.

“You– ” Zhao Yang paused. He averted his eyes before opening his mouth. “What are you doing here?”

‘This girl…why is she here?’

Zhao Yang gulped. He glanced at Lai Jiayi and felt his head throbbed again. Just now, when he caught sight of the girl’s back view, he instantly knew that it was this girl.

‘I don’t know why I know her in a glance but seriously, what is she doing in this dangerous place?’

Lai Jiayi took a few steps back as she lowered her head. The girl fidgeted with her fingers before answering,

“Uh, I-i am here…to drink?”

‘What else can you do at the bar, ah?’

Zhao Yang’s ears perked up. The guy subconsciously crossed his arm in front of his chest.

“But you– ” The guy paused again. Lately, he sounded like a broken recorder. He kept pausing his speech once in a while.

Zhao Yang pursed his lips. He didn’t continue his speech and just tightened his fists.

‘What did I want to say? Saying that she shouldn’t go to this kind of place? But I’m not her father. I shouldn’t fuss over it.’

Zhao Yang touched his bare arm and sighed. He then peeked at Lai Jiayi, who was waiting for him to speak. The girl looked like a small little squirrel fearing a lion in front of her.

Zhao Yang couldn’t stand this. The guy sighed for the fourth time.

“What a coincidence. I’m here to drink too, ” Zhao Yang suddenly spoke with a stoic expression. The man then gawked at the girl before blurting out nonsense.

“How about going with me?”

‘Yes, this way, this girl won’t meet any problem. Let’s say this is my way to apologize for making her cry.’

Zhao Yang sounded natural, but Lai Jiayi felt like the guy was doing something incredibly wrong. The girl looked at Yaya with a horrified expression.

[Did you hear that?? Zhao Yang is asking me out?! Holy cow, wait– I can interact with him, right? He is the one calling me first…]

[Yes, you can, quack. But what about tailing him, ah? Change of plan?] Yaya rolled his eyes. The duck then stole a glance at Zhao Yang.

‘Speaking of which, where is Tianjin? I didn’t see her…’

While Yaya was trying to find Tianjin, Lai Jiayi was forced to answer Zhao Yang’s invitation. The girl bit her lips and was about to answer when a notification rang in her mind.

TING! [Otome game assistance activated.]
