After getting the tickets, Bai Chen sat down and took out his phone to send Lin Jingchen a message.
[Mr. Lin, I got two tickets from my roommate. Escape Room City downtown has a new horror-themed room, and I'd like to invite you to try it with me. Are you free this Saturday?]
Bai Chen clearly explained what kind of tickets they were and where the venue was.
He stared at his phone screen for a minute and was just about to put it down.
A message notification flashed across the screen.
It read: [Sure. Thank you for inviting me. I'm really happy. See you in a few days.]
Seeing that Lin Jingchen had accepted, Bai Chen breathed a sigh of relief and felt happy too.
At first, he had wondered whether going alone would be boring if the other man wasn't free.
Fortunately, he had agreed.
He hurriedly replied: [Okay, see you then.] After a moment's thought, Bai Chen added: [Have you been busy lately?]
This time, Lin Jingchen replied almost instantly: [Not too bad. These past few days have been a little busy, but Saturday is free. What about you? Have you caught up on your coursework?]
Bai Chen: [Not yet, but almost.]
Lin Jingchen: [That's pretty quick. Keep at it. If there's anything you don't quite understand, message me and ask.]
Bai Chen: ...
For some reason, he suddenly felt as though the other man was humblebragging. Didn't he say last time that he'd only studied a little of it? Seriously... I actually believed him.
Bai Chen: [Okay, I'll message you when I get stuck, senior.]
This time, Bai Chen hadn't addressed him as Mr. Lin. He felt that calling him his senior sounded more intimate.
Lin Jingchen: [My pleasure.]
