In the instant that his lips touched hers, he suddenly stopped.
It was as if he was fighting against something with all his might. A glint flickered in the depths of his eyes, and even after a long time, he still chose not to touch her. He tilted his head slightly to avoid her lips before holding his breath in silence for a moment. After which, he straightened his body and switched off the lights in the bedroom, leaving only the night light on before walking away.
As she was asleep, he didn't blow his hair dry, fearing that the noise from the hairdryer would wake her up.
Leaning against the sofa, he absentmindedly fiddled with his phone for a while before turning his head to look at her on the bed.
As he stared at her, he suddenly felt the urge to take a cold shower in the bathroom …
This feeling sure is killing me …
Is it because I've never touched a woman before that I can't control myself?
He suddenly felt that trapping her in his room for an entire night just to prevent her from returning to the academy was a foolish move.
Lin Jiage forced himself to retract his gaze, fearing that he might really do something disrespectful to her. Thus, he sat on the sofa for a while longer before getting up and quietly making his way to the balcony with his phone in hand.
Outside in the middle of the night, it was eerily quiet.
Leaning against the white jade railing of the balcony, he gazed at the night sky for a while before sighing deeply.
It wasn't that he hadn't endured long nights before, but today's night was even longer and more torturous than his nights alone …
…
The next day, Shi Yao woke up naturally from her sleep.
She opened her eyes and stared blankly at her unfamiliar surroundings for a moment before realizing that she was in Lin Jiage's bedroom.
And she was lying on Lin Jiage's bed.
Shi Yao stared at the ceiling in a daze for ten seconds before she hurriedly tore off her blanket and leaped out of bed.
I-wasn't I sleeping on the floor? W-why am I on the bed?
Shi Yao lowered her head to take a look at her clothes before looking around the bedroom.
The room was empty, and Lin Jiage was nowhere to be seen.
Beside the pillow was a dress, and on top of the dress were some toiletries. They were probably meant for her.
The door to the bedroom was ajar. Clearly, someone had opened it from the outside with a key.
So … Lin Jiage had already gone out?
After making sense of the situation, Shi Yao grabbed the toiletries by the pillow and walked into the bathroom.
Halfway through brushing her teeth, she suddenly looked at herself in the mirror and widened her eyes.
Last night, was it Lin Jiage who carried her to bed last night?
Shi Yao's face reddened, and for some reason, her heartbeat became erratic.
After washing up, Shi Yao didn't dare to linger in Lin Jiage's bedroom any longer. She quickly grabbed her things and headed downstairs.
As soon as she walked into the living room, she saw Lin Jiage sitting on the sofa.
Suddenly, she remembered that he had carried her to bed last night. She blushed again and stopped in her tracks awkwardly. "Good morning."
"Morning …" Lin Jiage was only able to say a single word before an "Achoo" snatched the rest of his sentence away.
Shi Yao turned to look at him in shock. It was only then that she realized that he was carrying a tissue box in his embrace, and the table in front of him was filled with discarded tissues.
Did he … catch a cold?
Before Shi Yao could say a word, Lin Jiage had already tossed aside the tissue in his hand and stood up. "Let's go. The driver has been waiting outside for quite some time now."
As he spoke, he let out another "Achoo".
Just like how they had entered the Lin Family yesterday, Lin Jiage walked in front while Shi Yao followed behind him.
However, along the way, there were a few more sneezes than yesterday.
