As Lin Jiage's voice sounded in Shi Yao's ears, she couldn't help but think of that night for the umpteenth time in the past few days.
Her face suddenly reddened.
Perhaps it was due to her silence, but Lin Jiage spoke up once more, "Yaoyao, did you hear what I said?"
"I …" Shi Yao instinctively opened her mouth to speak, but she only managed to utter a single word before she suddenly froze.
A moment later, she continued, "… I … I don't think I'm free today …"
Lin Jiage: "Hm?"
Hearing Lin Jiage's doubtful question, Shi Yao subconsciously dug her phone a couple of times.
She rarely lied, but she really didn't know how she should face Lin Jiage. Or rather, she was a little afraid of facing Lin Jiage, even though she had no idea what it was that she was afraid of.
She took a moment to organize her thoughts before saying guiltily, "I promised my mom a while ago that I would go shopping with her today, so I might not have time..."
Lin Jiage: "Is that so? That's really unfortunate …"
His tone didn't sound too different from usual, but for some reason, Shi Yao felt a little shaky after telling a lie. So, her voice sounded a little hoarse as she said, "Indeed, it's really unfortunate …"
In contrast to Shi Yao's nervousness, Lin Jiage's voice was still as relaxed as ever, "It's fine. If you can't do it today, we can always do it another day. In any case, I can tell them not to serve the new dishes for now. I'll add them to the menu after I bring you to try them …"
Lin Jiage paused for a moment before asking, "… What about tomorrow? Are you free? If you aren't, we can do it the day after tomorrow or the day after that … "
In her impression, Lin Jiage was a lofty person who didn't care about anything. It was rare for him to be so patient …
Shi Yao was a little flustered by Lin Jiage's words. She struggled for a moment, but she still couldn't find the right words to reject him. In the end, she could only say, "I … I'm not too sure yet …"
As soon as she said those words, Shi Yao could clearly feel the atmosphere on the other side of the phone turning much quieter.
Is Lin Jiage … unhappy that I've rejected him so many times?
But why should I care so much about whether he's happy or not? In the past, when she rejected other boys, those boys would get drunk and stand in the dormitory building for an entire night. Wasn't she also indifferent and calm?
While Shi Yao's thoughts were running wild, the silence on the other end of the phone was suddenly broken. Lin Jiage spoke up, and his voice was as calm as usual, "It's fine. I'll ask you again tomorrow or the day after …"
Shi Yao was stunned.
He … actually wasn't angry?
According to her understanding of him, he didn't have such a good temper.
He seemed to be a little different from the person in her memory.
Roughly ten seconds later, Shi Yao finally snapped out of her daze and replied hesitantly, "Oh."
Lin Jiage: "I won't disturb you then. Have a good time shopping with your mother. I'll contact you later."
Shi Yao found it hard to believe that the person on the other end of the call was Lin Jiage. She replied with an "Oh" in a daze, and after hearing Lin Jiage's "Goodbye", she replied with a "Goodbye" before hanging up the call.
…
It was just as Lin Jiage had said. The next day, he called Shi Yao once more.
