Chapter 33 Tug of War
"Sorry, I was just taking a shower."
Shen Siyuan replied to Jiang Tingyu with a WeChat message.
But Jiang Tingyu did not respond immediately; it was unclear whether she hadn’t seen it or if it was a deliberate play of mind games.
For boyfriends and girlfriends, if there’s mutual affection, not getting an immediate reply on WeChat during a conversation can be quite agonizing and mess with one’s head.
If one side has developed feelings, they can become anxious and passive, falling into the other’s trap.
But since Shen Siyuan wanted to keep Jiang Tingyu on a leash, he naturally stayed calm, simply opened a game, and started battling other players.
Approximately two or three minutes later, he finally received another message from Jiang Tingyu.
However, Shen Siyuan did not switch out to reply immediately; instead, he finished the round and then casually closed the game.
"Do you want to come see my performance at my aquarium tomorrow?"
"Sorry, I was just playing a game, so tomorrow might not be good. I went back to my hometown today and probably won’t return until tomorrow evening."
Shen Siyuan frankly told her that he was playing a game and didn’t respond to her message to give her the impression that she wasn’t that important.
