He couldn't help but recall the question she had asked him earlier, "It's been raining for so long. Why didn't you find a place to hide?"
He nearly blurted out, "I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to find a place to hide."
But just as the words were about to come out of his mouth, he realized that he had nearly let it slip.
After all, she didn't think that he would know who would be coming to fetch him …
In truth, there had been a few minutes before she arrived that the rain had been really heavy.
He hated rainy days the most, and he hated the dampness of the rain.
But the thought of leaving never crossed his mind.
He simply stood there calmly, allowing the rain to fall on his body.
He was really afraid. He was afraid that she wouldn't see him in the dark of the night when she arrived …
Come to think of it, it had been almost two months since he last saw her … and he missed her a lot.
He knew that all along.
It was just that when she stood before him, he realized that he wasn't missing her a lot. He really, really missed her.
…
Back at the hotel.
As soon as Lin Jiage entered Shi Yao's room, the first thing he did was to put on an act and ask, "Do you have a charging cable?"
"I do." Shi Yao looked around the room before running over to the bedside cabinet to pull out her charging cable. After which, she ran over to Lin Jiage and passed the charging cable to him.
Lin Jiage didn't take it. Instead, he passed his phone back to Shi Yao.
Shi Yao raised her head to look at Lin Jiage in bewilderment. It was only then that she realized that Lin Jiage was asking her to help him charge his phone.
That's right … There's no need for me to unplug the charging cable. I can just charge my phone directly …
Shi Yao scolded herself for her foolishness. She took Lin Jiage's phone and ran back to the bedside table to plug the charging cable back in. After that, she charged Lin Jiage's phone and said, "It's done."
Lin Jiage politely replied, "Thank you."
After a moment of silence, Lin Jiage, the mastermind behind this entire incident, spoke up once more with a polite tone, "I'm really sorry for troubling you tonight."
Feeling a little embarrassed by Lin Jiage's politeness, she waved her hand and said, "It's fine, it's fine."
Noticing that Lin Jiage's hair was dripping wet, Shi Yao recalled how long he had been drenched in the rain, so she hurriedly said, "Do you want to take a hot bath? You might catch a cold."
Lin Jiage replied with an "Mm" before pointing in the direction of the washroom. "I'll be taking a shower first then."
"Un un", Shi Yao nodded, gesturing for him to hurry up.
Lin Jiage took out his clothes from his bag and made his way to the bathroom.
Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly thought of something and stopped in his tracks. "Oh yeah, there's something else I need to trouble you with. Help me send a message to my sister …"
Shi Yao understood that Lin Jiage was asking her to tell Lin Jiayi that she was safe, so she nodded her head in response. She picked up her phone and tapped on the screen as she said, "I'll send a message to Sis Jiayi right now."
With another "Thank you", Lin Jiage stepped into the bathroom and closed the door.
A second after he told Lin Jiayi that he was safe, the sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom.
