Being able to stay at Shi Yao’s home for nearly an entire day, Lin Jiage contentedly took his leave, and Shi Yao walked him down.
Before getting on his car, Lin Jiage peered at his dazzling green T-shirt through his side mirror, and he couldn’t help but frown.
It was because he thought that he had been cucked that he, by some weird train of thoughts, chose to wear a green T-shirt. But today, he learned that the person whom he thought had cucked him was actually his cousin…
Lin Jiage stopped and pondered for a moment, and right before he stepped onto his car, he couldn’t resist turning around to ask Shi Yao, “is this shirt of mine really weird?”
“That’s not it. It’s just that I’ve never seen you wearing a shirt with a showy color before, so I was a little surprised at the start,” Shi Yao replied honestly.
Actually, with Lin Jiage’s appearance and physique, he would be able to pull off any clothes and any color… While the dazzling green T-shirt did catch her off guard at the start, after she got used to it, she had to admit that it actually looked kind of good on him…
After a moment of pause, Shi Yao added, “And actually, I am rather fond of the color green too. It’s the color of watermelon and honeydew, my favorite fruits in summer!”
Those words placed Lin Jiage’s heart at ease, “Un, me too. I think that green is a fine color.”
…
There was a traffic jam on the way back, so even though Lin Jiage drove off from Shi Yao’s home at five, it was already seven-thirty by the time he reached home.
A second after his car entered the courtyard, the next second, the maids and servants in the residence immediately flew into panic mode.
“The Young Master is back! Hurry up and hide Madam’s emerald earrings!”
“Also, move the Old Master’s plants over to the greenhouse.”
“Move the Young Mistress’s flowers back to her room for the time being.”
“Someone, cover Sir’s painting with a cloth… Also, don’t forget to hide the apples. Oh yeah, not to forget, those who are wearing green, you must remember to change out of them…”
…
As his car came to a stop, Lin Jiage walked back into his house while fiddling with his keys.
While he was switching his footwear, he couldn’t help but notice that someone had covered the painting hanging on the wall with a cloth, and a frown appeared on his forehead. He turned to a maid, which happened to be passing by at the moment, and berated, “What are you all doing? How in the world did you come up with the idea of placing a cloth over a fine painting? Do you not know how valuable the painting is? It’s the work of a true master, and the purpose of hanging it in the living room is to bring some life to it. If you are just going to cover it, what’s the point of buying it in the first place?”
At this point, Lin Jiage suddenly recalled the apples he had eaten earlier that were personally washed and cut by Shi Yao while tutoring Gu Nanqiang, and as he made his way up to his room, he instructed, “Help me prepare some apples and deliver them to my room.”
“Also, come up to my room later on to grab this shirt. I want you to help me wash it so that I can bring it to school tomorrow.”
After confirming that he had nothing else, he walked into his room and closed it, leaving a group of dumbfounded maids and servants to stare at one another blankly.
Didn’t he say that he hated apples and the color green prior to leaving? He picked on everything that was green in the house, and he even warned them to never let him see apples or anything green around…
Yet, in less than twenty-four hours, he had already changed his mind altogether…
Really, fathoming the Young Master’s heart was like searching for a needle amidst the endless ocean!
…
Night time, Lin Jiage messaged Shi Yao to play, as per usual.
This time, the one who played with him wasn’t Gu Nanqiang but the real Soft Bun.
At roughly ten-thirty, Shi Yao said that she wouldn’t be playing anymore.
Perplexed by Shi Yao’s early retirement for the night, he texted Shi Yao on WeChat, asking: [Isn’t it still early? There aren’t any classes tomorrow either, so why are you leaving so early tonight?]
Soon, Shi Yao replied his message: [I’m going to the hospital to visit a grandpa whom I am very close with tomorrow morning.]
Ah… Is she going to visit my grandfather?
So, as long as he woke up early tomorrow and headed to the hospital, he would be able to meet Soft Bun again?
