At Jiang Yue’s words, Lin Jiage’s gaze immediately fell from Shi Yao’s face to her hands.
There was an opened bottle in one of her hands, a four-fifths full bottle of Scream, and a red plastic bag in the other.
A few seconds later, Lin Jiage looked back at Shi Yao’s face.
Upon meeting Lin Jiage’s gaze, Shi Yao’s fingernails subconsciously dug into the red plastic bag in her hand.
Due to Jiang Yue’s earlier words, all of the young ladies camping at the finish line—who queued up to deliver their drinks into Lin Jiage’s hands—all had their eyes on Shi Yao.
Thus, Shi Yao was now in a quandary. It wouldn’t do for her to turn around and leave, but stepping forward and offering Lin Jiage a drink was also…
Just as Shi Yao was still conflicted over the issue, deliberating over how she should act, Lin Jiage suddenly stepped forward and walked toward her.
In the first place, the distance between them wasn’t too big. In just a few steps, he was already standing right in front of her.
Shi Yao instinctively took a small step back to create some space between them. At the same time, she mustered up her resolve. Since things had already gotten to this point, she could only pass him the drink she had bought earlier.
But before she could even raise her hand, Lin Jiage noticed that the Jiang Yue, the young lady beside Shi Yao, was gleefully looking in another direction. Purely out of curiosity, he followed Jiang Yue’s line of sight and saw that Qin Yiran was looking intently in his and Shi Yao’s direction. A cold gleam immediately flashed through his eyes. Thus, he turned back to Shi Yao, and without giving her a chance to say anything, he snatched the bottle of partially-drunk Scream away from her hand.
I’ve never seen such a shameless person before! Didn’t she gather a group of thugs to attack us outside of school, so how could she have the audacity to show her face in front of us again?
But since she’s so bent on hanging around me, I should just drink from Soft Bun’s bottle and make her think we have an intimate relationship to provoke her!
Reaching a decision, Lin Jiage uncapped the bottle and brought it to his lips. Raising his head, ‘gudong gudong’ , he began gulping down the drink.
His actions were really fast; so fast that Shi Yao didn’t even have a chance to warn him and tell him to stop.
Thus, she could only watch helplessly as he gulped down the bottled drink she had been drinking before, all the way until it was down by half a bottle… When he finally had his fill and stopped, Shi Yao took out the bottle of Scream she had in the red plastic bag and passed it over to Lin Jiage, “This one is yours…”
Shi Yao was thinking that since Lin Jiage had already drunk from her bottle, he probably wouldn’t take the bottle she was offering him at the moment.
Yet, who would’ve thought that after she said those words, Lin Jiage replied with an “Oh” before unhesitatingly reaching out to grab the unopened bottle in her hands with a “Thank you”. At the same time, he returned the other bottle, which only had a third left, back to her.
Shi Yao disliked being surrounded and stared at by so many people. Since she had already passed him the bottle, she quickly left Lin Jiage with a “My roommate is competing in an event right now, so I’m heading over to take a look” before pulling Jiang Yue away with her.
When she finally disappeared in the distance, Lin Jiage uncapped the new bottle of Scream and drank a huge mouthful from it.
I still don’t like the flavor of this drink…
Thinking this, Lin Jiage brought the bottled Scream to his lips once more to drink another mouthful.
This bottle doesn’t seem to taste as nice as the one that Soft Bun was drinking from before… Since I drank from the same bottle that Soft Bun drank from, could that be considered as an indirect kiss between us?
Lin Jiage continued drinking another mouthful of Scream before heading over to Lu Benlai. While making his way over, he coincidentally caught sight of Qin Yiran in his peripheral vision.
She was biting her lips tightly, seemingly deeply upset by his previous actions. Her chest moved up and down erratically…
Satisfied by the outcome, Lin Jiage leisurely took another mouthful of the drink which he simply couldn’t bring himself to like.
