“I still want to eat, braised lion’s head, abalone, sea cucumber…”
While Shi Yao was muttering the names of countless dishes, the silent Lin jiage suddenly spoke up, “Yaoyao… I’m sorry…”
Lin Jiage’s words came out of nowhere.
It was as if someone had struck Shi Yao’s acupoints, and her footsteps suddenly came to a halt. Even her crisp voice, which was muttering the names of the dishes, didn’t make a single sound.
Lin jiage also followed Shi Yao to a stop. He stared at the empty road ahead for a moment before slowly turning his head to look at Shi Yao beside him. “Yaoyao, I’m sorry.”
Shi Yao came back to her senses and slowly turned her head to meet Lin Jiage’s eyes. Her face was filled with confusion and bewilderment, but more than that, it was filled with shock and astonishment.
Meeting her gaze, Lin Jiage didn’t remain silent for too long this time. Soon after, he spoke up once more, “I’m sorry, Yaoyao.”
His tone was earnest and sincere, as though he had made an important vow. It was solemn and solemn.
Shi Yao opened her mouth and asked, “Why did you…”
She only said four words before she stopped.
However, he understood what she was trying to ask. He looked straight into her eyes and silently went through what he wanted to say in his heart, then, he said softly, “When I first heard your name, I was 16 years old. I was in my second year of high school. At that time, I went to school every day and my drawer was filled with all kinds of love letters…”
“But I was really not interested in girls. At that time, I thought that playing games and playing football with male classmates were much more interesting than girls…”
“I still remember that day when the midterm exams ended. Un… that time, the papers were a little difficult to come up with. Back then, I was the only one in the entire school who had a perfect score in physics and mathematics, and I even surpassed the second-place student by nearly thirty points. I still had a sense of superiority… at that time, I didn’t know how to show off my results, but I wanted to let my family know about it. So, before entering the house, I intentionally unzipped my school bag to expose half of the papers. Then, I thought that if I were to enter the house and casually toss my school bag onto the sofa, the papers would definitely fall out. By then, no matter who saw it, it would be widely publicized, but…”
Lin jiage lowered his head slightly, a Sly smile appeared on his face as he tried to recall the past,”… Things didn’t go as planned. Instead of showing off his results in the examination paper, Grandpa called him into the study room and sternly pointed at you and your parents who were in our house at that time. He said to me, ‘let me introduce you to them. Jiage, this is your fiancée, Shi Yao…’”
“How should I put it? “I really felt that it was ridiculous. I wasn’t interested in girls, but I didn’t want to be a monk for the rest of my life… I felt that this was a matter of fate, so I really couldn’t accept it at that time… So you saw the situation at that time. I directly rejected it in front of you and your parents…”
“To be honest, ever since I was young, the person who doted on me the most in my family was my grandfather. Because my grandmother left earlier, my grandfather said that I looked like my grandmother the most. That was probably the first time my grandfather disobeyed me… so when my grandfather and I quarreled, I was really angry. Because my grandfather was too determined, it caused me to lose my mind due to anger. So that day, when you and I met for the first time, I… Told you that what I said was really overboard…”
