While Lin Jiage was making the call, the waiter had already brought the dishes over.
Shi Yao was just about to stuff a mouthful of food into her mouth when she heard Lin Jiage's words. It wasn't convenient for her to speak, so she could only shake her head.
When she took the phone from Lin Jiage's hands, she saw that Lin Jiage was looking at her with a deeply remorseful gaze. She had initially thought that this was nothing much, but she hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at Lin Jiage with widened eyes before replying earnestly, "It's alright."
Perhaps it was her sincerity that convinced Lin Jiage, but he finally retracted his gaze and picked up his chopsticks.
…
After the meal, Shi Yao called the waiter over to settle the bill.
Unlike before, Lin Jiage didn't rush to pay the bill. Instead, he calmly leaned back on his chair and watched as the waiter passed the bill to Shi Yao.
Shi Yao took a look at the price and asked, "Can I pay via WeChat?"
Waiter: "Sure."
Shi Yao didn't say a word. She reached for her phone, but when she pressed on the unlock button and saw that the screen didn't light up, she suddenly remembered that Lin Jiage had used up her phone's battery earlier. So, she hurriedly smiled apologetically at the waiter and said, "I just remembered that my phone is out of battery. I'll pay with my card instead."
"Alright, Miss," the waiter replied before entering the payment on the card machine.
Shi Yao rummaged through her bag, but she couldn't find her wallet anywhere. So, she hugged her bag tightly and began rummaging through her bag seriously.
Time slowly ticked by, and when Shi Yao's fingertips came into contact with the colorful sanitary napkin for the second time, Lin Jiage suddenly recalled that he had touched the same sanitary napkin before, so he cleared his throat in embarrassment and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Yao, who had already rummaged through her bag three times, replied in embarrassment, "I-I don't think I brought my wallet with me …"
Ah? He thought that she would panic and say that she had lost her wallet, but she actually said that she didn't bring her wallet with her … This is … As long as you have food, you can be so careless?
Lin Jiage was silent for a moment before he took out his wallet from his pocket and said, "I'll do it."
After swiping his card and signing his name, the two of them waited for the waiter to leave before Lin Jiage and Shi Yao walked out of the restaurant one after another.
A second after getting into the car, Shi Yao spoke up with a reddened face, "That … I really didn't mean to refuse to treat you to a meal. I really didn't bring my wallet with me …"
As if afraid that Lin Jiage wouldn't believe her words, she intentionally opened her bag and showed it to him.
As she had messed up her bag earlier, the sanitary napkin happened to be at the very top of the pile. Lin Jiage glanced over, and the first thing he saw was the brightly colored cube. His face burned a little, but he quickly replied with a muffled "Mm" before swiftly averting his gaze.
Shi Yao was a little perplexed by his reaction.
He had clearly called her to ask her to pay him back for the meal, but in the end, he was still the one paying the bill. Could it be that he felt that she had done it on purpose?
The more Shi Yao thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Eventually, she spoke up softly, "I really have no intention of not paying you back for that meal. How about this? I'll give you the money and treat it as a loan. If you really can't do it, I'll write you an IOU later …"
Staring straight ahead, Lin Jiage skillfully maneuvered the car and replied, "There's no need for that."
"How can I do that? Why don't I treat you to two meals, no, three … "Before Shi Yao could finish her words, she suddenly fell silent as she looked at the scene outside the car window.
