Compared to Lin Jiage, Shi Yao was much shorter, so when she opened the umbrella for him, she instinctively tilted her head upward. But before she could see whether the umbrella had closed for him or not, her gaze met his eyes, which were looking down at her.
Just like that, their gazes collided.
In that instant, Shi Yao didn't know what was wrong with her, but her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The surroundings were bustling with activity.
But as if someone had cast a spell on Shi Yao's ears, everything fell silent in an instant.
Lin Jiage didn't expect that the person who had come would be her, and a hint of surprise flashed across his beautiful eyes. Following that, a very faint smile and warmth surfaced on his face as he asked, "Did my older sister send you here?"
His voice was as pleasant as ever, and it pulled the dazed Shi Yao back to her senses.
She nodded her head vehemently and quickly replied, "That's right. Sis Jiayi posted it on her Moments page, and I saw it. It was only then that I learned of your situation, so I came over to pick you up …"
Shi Yao quickly shut her mouth.
She must have been led astray by Sis Jiayi. To think that she would frequently talk about picking up Lin Jiage …
With such thoughts in mind, Shi Yao quickly added, "… I came over to look for you."
She couldn't tell whether Lin Jiage had heard the word "pick up" or not, but from start to end, there wasn't much of a reaction on his face. He simply maintained the same posture as before, staring fixedly into her eyes as he replied with a very nonchalant "Oh".
Even though it was just a single word, the slightly raised tone of his voice made Shi Yao's heart beat furiously in tandem with it.
This was really weird. Why did he suddenly look even more handsome after meeting her this time?
Was it because he had developed an immunity to her after meeting her so frequently in the past, but after two months, that immunity had completely disappeared?
In order to prevent herself from falling into a daze like when she first met him, Shi Yao tried her best to maintain her composure and said, "It's been raining for so long. Why didn't you find a place to hide?"
"I'm afraid …" Lin Jiage only said a single word before coming to a halt.
Shi Yao replied with a "Hm?"
Only then did Lin Jiage move his lips once more, "I don't have money."
Sweat … What a strong reason. It was so strong that she found it hard to refute him …
Rendered speechless by Lin Jiage, Shi Yao fell silent for a few seconds before saying, "Let's go then."
Lin Jiage nodded. "Alright."
Shi Yao turned around and faced the direction of the hotel.
She was short and he was tall, so it was difficult for her to hold the umbrella.
Lin Jiage glanced at her arms that were trying her best to stretch higher, and a hint of a smile crept into his eyes that he didn't even notice. However, he only took a few glances at it before he reached for the umbrella.
His fingertips touched her hand.
Shi Yao's body trembled as she abruptly raised her head to look at Lin Jiage.
Lin Jiage raised his head and glanced at the edge of the umbrella, which was still dripping with water. "I'll do it."
Even though his words were very simple, Shi Yao could tell that he was intending to open an umbrella for her.
"Oh, oh." She hurriedly let go of the umbrella handle.
Raising his umbrella, Lin Jiage tilted it slightly in Shi Yao's direction before following her footsteps.
His legs were long and his steps were long, so when he walked beside her, he looked very casual, as though he was taking a stroll.
Along the way, he did not talk much with her.
