My Real-life Dating Sim Game - Chapter 90

“T-this, your capsule and pocket warmer…” Lai Jiayi took out the square thing inside her pants pocket. She stretched out her hands, hoping Zhao Yang would take the items.

But Zhao Yang just stayed silent for a few seconds. He shook his head and spoke, “Keep it. I don’t need them.”

…eh?

Lai Jiayi gaped. She looked at Zhao Yang’s face with confusion. “B-but, this is yours–”

“I gave them to you. Now, it’s yours.” Zhao Yang waved his hand, casually pushing Lai Jiayi’s hand. This way, the girl wouldn’t be able to return the items.

Lai Jiayi sucked in cold air. The girl gripped the two items tightly. “I-I can’t accept something this expensive…”

‘Good, good, I have to prolong our conversation. Don’t let this man go!’

Lai Jiayi put on a reluctant face as she fiddled with the two items in her palm. “I-I thought, boss only lend these to me…”

“No.” Zhao Yang shook his head. His long suit fluttered in the air. “These are for you. You will need them in the future. Mostly in winter.”

The man slowly looked down at Lai Jiayi’s hands. He caught sight of the girl’s fingers. It already turned normal, not stiff like before.

‘As expected, this girl really needs the heater.’

Seeing Zhao Yang look at her fingers, Lai Jiayi retracted her hands. Her face flushed red.

‘Gosh, he is only looking at my fingers, ah! Nothing else!’

But the girl still felt her cheeks turn hot. Thus, to compose her mind, she could only back down and accept Zhao Yang’s kindness.

“T-then, t-thank you, boss.” Lai Jiayi stored the two items in the pocket of her trousers. “I-I will use it well!” The girl flashed an innocent smile. It was so bright it might melt the snow around her.

Zhao Yang’s body stiffened. He slanted his lips and nodded. “Mm. Don’t mind it.”

‘Is she so poor that this kind of thing excites her?’

Zhao Yang couldn’t help but recall Lai Jiayi’s father’s condition that he knew from the investigation report.

His heart ached for the girl without him knowing.

‘I should give her more things she needs. Such a hardworking girl. She deserves a treat once in a while.’

Zhao Yang nodded to himself. At this moment, Lai Jiayi filled his mind, and for a while, he didn’t think of his past lover.

Usually, he would feel down whenever he visited the graveyard. But today, it’s so strange that he didn’t feel that sad. His mind wasn’t as gloomy as usual.

A pity Zhao Yang didn’t realize this. He just looked at Lai Jiayi and wondered what he could do to help the girl out of sympathy and concern.

Seeing Zhao Yang didn’t move and just stare at her, Lai Jiayi gulped. She peeked at Yaya, who was floating right next to her head.

[Yaya, what to do now? I don’t think we can talk about life and such deep things if we stand like this…] Lai Jiayi squeezed her eyes tightly, feeling a bit worried.

‘Plus, it’s winter. Zhao Yang won’t stay long here.’

[Then, bring him to another place, quack?] Yaya suggested. [Your shift ended at 10, quack. You are still allowed to initiate interaction with Zhao Yang, quack.]

[Hmmm, what place you have in mind? Also, will Zhao Yang agree to follow me?] Lai Jiayi clenched her teeth as she glanced at Zhao Yang. The guy looked like he’s in a daze.

[Uh, as for that…I don’t know, quack– ] Yaya hadn’t finished his words when a notification sounded in Lai Jiayi’s mind.

TING! [Otome game assistance activated!]

Ask Zhao Yang to go to your house

Invite Zhao Yang for a drink at a nearby cafe

10. 9. 8.

A white transparent board appeared along with a timer counting from 10 to 0.

Lai Jiayi almost slipped and fell because of the board’s sudden appearance.

‘Otome game assistance?! At this moment??’

The girl wanted to pull her hair and roll on the ground. But thinking again, the otome game assistance actually helped her to choose what she could do to invite Zhao Yang.

[Which one, Yaya? I think inviting him to my house is a bit weird…] Lai Jiayi bit her lips. Her eyes wandered around the two sentences on the floating board in front of her.

[Agree, quack. How about you choose B, quack? That way, you can use the gas, quack.] Yaya nodded.

‘Though, if we know there’s this option to invite Zhao Yang to drink, we can just buy the truth serum.’ Yaya sighed.

[Okay. I pick B.] Lai Jiayi clicked the B option, and the board disappeared, along with a notification.

TING! [You choose B. Invite Zhao Yang for a drink at a nearby cafe. Please do so in 10 seconds.]

10. 9. 8.

A giant timer appeared, replacing the board. The countdown kept going, urging Lai Jiayi to do as it wished.

The girl immediately lifted her head and looked at Zhao Yang. The guy had just snapped out of his daze and was about to turn around to leave.

‘Let’s stop him!’

“A-ah, boss!” Lai Jiayi stretched her hand and tugged the edge of Zhao Yang’s suit. She did this in reflex, disregarding her fear for men. Though it only lasted for a few seconds.

Once Zhao Yang looked at Lai Jiayi straight into her eyes, the girl instantly released the man’s suit.

“T-that, since y-you give me these expensive items…” Lai Jiayi averted her eyes from Zhao Yang’s gaze. “C-can I treat you to a drink…s-somewhere around here?”

After she spoke, Lai Jiayi’s heart suddenly beat faster. Sweat started to drench her palms.

‘Please, say yes!!’
