As Lin Jiage’s voice sounded in her ears, Shi Yao couldn’t help but recall the scene from that night several times over the past few days.
Her face suddenly flushed red.
Perhaps it was because she hadn’t spoken for a long time, but on the other end of the phone, Lin Jiage spoke up once more, “Yaoyao, can you hear me?”
“I…”Shi Yao instinctively opened her mouth to speak into the phone, but after saying a single word, she suddenly stopped.
A moment later, she continued,”… i… I might not have the time today…”
Lin jiage: “HM?”
Hearing Lin Jiage’s slightly doubtful question, Shi Yao subconsciously dug her fingers into her phone.
She rarely lied, but she really didn’t know how to face Lin Jiage. Or perhaps, she was a little afraid of facing Lin Jiage, even though she didn’t know what she was afraid of.
She tried to organize her words in her mind before continuing guiltily, “I promised my mother that I would accompany her shopping today, so I might not have the time…”
Lin jiage: “Is that so? That’s really unfortunate…”
His tone didn’t sound too different from usual, but Shi Yao, who had lied to him, felt a little lacking in confidence for some reason. Thus, her voice sounded a little dry as she said, “That’s right, that’s really unfortunate…”
In contrast to Shi Yao’s nervousness, Lin Jiage’s voice was still as calm as ever, “It’s fine. If you can’t make it today, you can make it another day. In any case, I can ask them not to serve the new dishes for now. After I bring you to try them, I’ll ask them to add them to the menu…”
After a brief pause, Lin Jiage asked,”… What about tomorrow? Are you free? If not, you can try the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow…”
In her impression, Lin Jiage was a person who stood above everything else. He didn’t care about anything at all, and it was rare for him to be so patient..
Shi Yao was a little overwhelmed by Lin Jiage’s words. She struggled for a moment, but she couldn’t find the right words to reject him. In the end, all she could say was, “I… Can’t be too sure yet…”
As her voice fell, Shi Yao could clearly feel that the atmosphere on the other end of the line had become much quieter.
Is Lin jiage unhappy because of her frequent rejections?
But why does she care so much about whether he’s happy or not? When she rejected other boys in the past, those boys would run to the dormitory building drunk and stand there for an entire night. wasn’t she also rather indifferent and calm?
Just as Shi Yao’s thoughts were running wild, the silence on the other end of the line was suddenly broken. Lin Jiage’s voice was as calm as usual as he said, “It’s fine. I’ll come back to ask you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow…”
Shi Yao was suddenly taken aback.
He… isn’t angry?
Based on her understanding of him, he shouldn’t have such a good temper.
He seemed to have become a little different from the him in her memories.
After ten seconds or so, Shi Yao finally snapped back to her senses and replied slowly, “OH.”
Lin jiage: “I Won’t disturb you any further then. Go shopping with your mother and contact her later.”
Shi Yao couldn’t believe it, but the person on the other end of the line was Lin Jiage. She let out an ‘Oh’once more, and after hearing Lin Jiage say ‘goodbye’, she replied with a ‘goodbye’and hung up.
..
It was just as Lin Jiage had said. The next day, he called Shi Yao once more.
Shi Yao had asked to accompany her mother to a relative’s house today, but she refused.
