However, when he tiantian mentioned Lin Jiage, Shi Yao didn’t speak much either. After listening to him, she was no different from before. She either continued eating apples or drinking yogurt, or she continued watching dramas and eating potato chips.
Just as Shi Yao said, after she left the club, she found a new part-time job to tutor a senior examinee in a school district near her school.
As for the salary, it was definitely incomparable to the salary in the Guild Hall, but Shi Yao, who didn’t have any better options, could only muddle through.
There were no classes on Saturdays and Sundays, so Shi Yao’s tutoring time was slightly longer.
That day, she happened to catch up with the students she had to tutor, and there was a lot of homework assigned to her by the school, so her tutoring time was also slightly longer than usual. From the afternoon until the evening.
Around eight o’clock, Shi Yao’s phone rang.
It was her mother. She stared at the screen for a moment, but she didn’t pick up.
In fact, her mother had called her several times recently, but she didn’t pick up.
The student who was doing the questions beside her was affected by her phone. He turned to look at Shi Yao, and seeing that she was staring at the screen in a daze, he couldn’t help but ask, “Sis Yaoyao, are you picking up?”
Shi Yao came back to her senses and said softly to the student, “Continue with your questions.”After which, she muted her phone and placed it in her bag.
By the time she finished her lesson and returned to school, it was already ten o’clock in the evening.
As it was late at night, the parents of the students didn’t feel at ease. Furthermore, it wasn’t too far from the school, so the parents and students walked Shi Yao to the school entrance.
On the way back to the dormitory, Shi Yao took out her phone and took a look. There were eight missed calls, and they were all from her mother.
Just as she was hesitating whether she should return a call or not, another call came in. It was still her mother.
Shi Yao struggled for a moment, but in the end, she still picked up the call.
“Yaoyao, what’s wrong with you? You’re not picking up your phone anymore…”as it was a video call, Shi Yao’s mother saw that Shi Yao was still outside after she finished muttering to herself, she continued,”… Why are you so late at night? You haven’t returned to your dormitory yet. Did you go out to play? with whom? Jia Ge?”
It wasn’t that her mother hadn’t asked her similar questions before, but because she had caught her arguing with her father, she felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart when she heard her mother’s last words.
However, she still replied softly, “No, I just came out to buy something.”
“Oh, is that so…”Shi Yao’s mother didn’t dwell on this matter for too long before raising her phone, pointing at the various wedding candies on the table, she asked Shi Yao, “Take a look. These are the samples that someone sent over today. Which one do you like?”
Shi Yao’s mother carefully showed Shi Yao the wedding candies, invitations, and other wedding trivia, at the same time, she said, “Your father and I went to the Lin family’s residence this afternoon. Old Mister Lin said that we live in the suburbs. After you got married, it wasn’t convenient for you to see your father and me, so you decided to arrange a house for your father and me near their house… Their house is in the center of the city, so that house must be very expensive. That’s why your father said that the smallest house would be fine, as long as both of us can live in it… Don’t tell me, Old Mister Lin is really…”
Hearing this, Shi Yao couldn’t help but interrupt her mother’s excited voice, “Mom…”
