"Brother Yuan, are you there?"
Lin Manman's fingers flew across the phone screen.
Every word seemed to carry her expectations and anxieties.
She sent another cute emoji, hoping to get Lin Yuan's attention.
But the screen didn't light up for a long time, and there was no reply to the message.
Why haven't they replied from so far away?
Was the emoji I posted too childish?
Or did he simply not see it?
These questions kept popping into Lin Manman's mind.
She bit her lower lip and murmured to herself, "Is he no longer interested in me?"
Her disappointment was noticed by her roommate, Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue walked over and, seeing Manman's worried look, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Manman, why are you standing here in a daze? What's wrong?"
Lin Manman's face clearly showed disappointment.
"Hmm... I met a super-rich guy, and I sent him an emoji, but he hasn't replied yet. Did I do something to upset him?"
This question, however, made Xiaoxue look down on it.
"You're so naive. Those big spenders who throw millions into the livestream every day are surrounded by beautiful women. How can you just sit around and wait like this?"
Xiaoxue's serious expression only made Lin Manman more puzzled.
"Then what should I do?"
Xiaoxue patted Lin Manman on the shoulder, her tone tinged with urgency.
"Fool! Take the initiative! Just ask him out, maybe there'll still be a chance."
Lin Manman hesitated and said, "Wouldn't that be too abrupt?"
Although she had already planned to do this, being so direct made her even more hesitant.
Xiaoxue looked impatient, her brows furrowed, and even the dust in the air seemed to sense her impatience.
"Oh dear, when are you going to change this indecisive personality? How will you know if a pleasant surprise awaits you if you don't take the plunge? Go ask him out, don't let the opportunity slip away!"
Xiaoxue's words carried a hint of disappointment and frustration.
Xiaoxue's words sent a shiver down my spine.
Lin Manman lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her teeth unconsciously biting her lower lip.
She finally spoke up: "Okay, I'll give it a try."
She picked up her phone, her fingertips dancing across the screen as she typed the message that could change everything.
"Brother Yuan, are you free tomorrow? Let's have dinner together."
The moment she sent it, Lin Manman's heart was in her throat, filled with anxiety.
She began a long wait.
Why hasn't he replied to my message yet?
Are you already asleep?
Or is it that you don't want to talk to me at all, but are just being polite by not directly refusing me?
Just as Lin Manman was lost in her own thoughts, her brow furrowed in worry, Xiaoxue noticed her unusual behavior.
He patted her shoulder again, trying to dispel the gloom in Lin Manman's heart.
Don't overthink it. If he sees the message, he'll definitely reply.
Upon hearing this, Lin Manman managed a bitter smile.
"Sigh... what if he ignores me? Am I just being presumptuous?"
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, yet every word pierced the heart.
Xiaoxue's gaze softened even more.
"Stop overthinking, go to sleep. Maybe there will be a surprise first thing tomorrow morning."
Lin Manman nodded slowly. Although the unease in her heart was still hard to calm down, at least she had a moment of peace.
"All right……"
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Lin Yuan was sound asleep, exhausted, in a bizarre and wonderful dream, completely unaware of Lin Manman's inner turmoil.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, falling on Lin Yuan's face.
He frowned slightly, then slowly opened his eyes.
I slept exceptionally well last night, probably because I haven't relaxed like that in a long time.
He stretched, picked up his phone, and saw a message from Lin Manman that he had sent last night.
Lin Yuan looked at his phone with a smile on his face, feeling happy inside.
Haha, Lin Manman took the initiative to ask me out to dinner?
That's so direct, this girl is quite interesting.
He quickly replied with a message.
"Sure, I'm free at noon today. Send me your address."
Putting down his phone, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
He recalled his fantasies when he used to browse local live streams, hoping to have a chance encounter with his favorite streamer.
Now that he's become a "super-rich" man, he actually has the opportunity to realize this idea.
Sending gifts to the streamer today, inviting them out for dinner tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow... hehehe.
It's so convenient and efficient, it's wonderful!
I must behave well at noon and not let Manman think I'm a person without class.
He muttered to himself, then got up to wash and prepare for today's date.
Lin Manman, who had a sleepless night, slowly woke up.
She lay in bed, staring at her phone screen, waiting for Lin Yuan's reply.
Suddenly, her phone beeped, and Lin Manman immediately sat up, her eyes lighting up.
She excitedly waved her phone.
"Ah, he replied!"
Xiaoxue rubbed her sleepy eyes.
"What's wrong? Whose WeChat is this?"
Lin Manman excitedly showed off her phone.
"Brother Yuan! He agreed to have dinner together today!"
Xiaoxue yawned, her face full of smugness.
"I knew it! Taking the initiative is always the right thing to do."
Lin Manman appeared both nervous and excited.
"What should I do? I'm so nervous. What if I don't do well?"
Xiaoxue was even more helpless standing to the side.
