Are you a lunatic… Who in the world is trying to scheme against you? Like anyone is bored enough to do that!
Lin Jiage continued dialing Shi Yao’s number, but before he could press call, another message from Lin Jiayi came in: [You’re such a sinister person, so sinister that you send shivers down my spine.]
Shiver more, then.. .
Ignoring Lin Jiayi’s message, Lin Jiage continued dialing Shi Yao’s number.
Many calls later and still no one picked up at the other end. Just as Lin Jiage thought his efforts would end up useless, the call finally connected. Shi Yao’s voice sounded from the other end, “Hello?”
Before the call connected, Lin Jiage had countless words he wanted to ask Shi Yao.
Are you okay? Are you feeling sad? Are you…
But when she finally picked up his calls, he found himself at a loss for words instead.
He only jolted out of his daze state after she spoke again, “Lin Jiage?”
Lin Jiage blinked his eyes before asking, “Why didn’t you pick up my calls?”
Shi Yao: “I switched my phone to silent. I only saw your calls a second ago…”
Phew… Lin Jiage heaved a sigh of relief. So that’s what happened…
“About that…” Perhaps due to Lin Jiage’s prolonged silence, Shi Yao spoke up once more. “… Did something urgent happen? Why did you call me so many times?”
“I…” In this instant, Lin Jiage wasn’t too sure how he should answer her.
Her voice still sounded normal at the moment, but if he said that his older sister told him about what happened with Liang Mumu, would that be peeling at her scab?
Lin Jiage thought deeply about what to do. But in spite of that, when she called out “Lin Jiage” once more through the phone, these were the words that thoughtlessly escaped from his mouth, “Don’t you still owe me a meal?”
After asking this question, Lin Jiage wanted to bite his tongue off.
You pig head, can’t you find a better excuse than that?
On the other end, Shi Yao quickly replied, “Oh, that’s right. Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about that. So, you’re calling me to get that meal back? Sure. How about later? I happen to be free tonight.”
Lin Jiage didn’t want to confirm it, but it seemed a little too late at this point. He could only force himself to spit out a word of agreement, “Alright.”
Shi Yao: “I’ll choose a place and send the address to you later. Let’s meet right at the place?”
“Why don’t you tell me where you are? I’ll pick you up.” Lin Jiage glanced at the electric scooter he had borrowed, and after some thought, he decided that it could somewhat be considered as a car. So, he added, “I have a car.”
“Is that so? Alright then…” Shi Yao said, “… I’m currently at the entrance of KFC.”
Ah… Beijing has at least a hundred KFC stores. How do you expect me to look for you with such a vague description?
Lin Jiage: “Are there any other landmarks aside from KFC?”
“Let me take a look…” A second later, Shi Yao added, “… There’s also a McDonald’s too…”
That sure is helpful… Lin Jiage was rendered speechless.
Seeing that Lin Jiage wasn’t speaking, Shi Yao continued, “Other than McDonald’s, there’s a Häagen-Dazs by the side, and next to Häagen-Dazs is a Yi Dian Dian. Their milk tea is really delicious. It’s about to be dinner time soon, but their queue is still incredibly long…”
Lady, do you only recognize landmarks that are related to food?
Noting that Lin Jiage still wasn’t speaking, Shi Yao’s voice continued, “How long will it take you to come over? I’ll go queue up at Yi Dian Dian now. I should be done by the time you arrive. Do you want a drink too? Their matcha milk tea is heavenly, I love it! Is it okay if I order the same thing for you too?”
