"No problem …" Lin Jiage took out his phone and gave a call to China World Hotel Beijing. "… Is there anything else you'd like to eat?"
Shi Yao counted on her fingers, "Steamed Shrimp Egg, Shenjing Roast Goose, Yuxiang Shredded Pork, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs …"
Lin Jiage repeated the names of the dishes Shi Yao had mentioned to the person on the other end of the call.
While Lin Jiage was recording down the address, Shi Yao suddenly remembered that she hadn't washed up yet, so she ran to the bedroom next door to brush her teeth and wash her face.
By the time Lin Jiage hung up the call, Shi Yao still hadn't returned.
He wasn't in a hurry to get out of bed. Instead, his gaze fell on the spot where Shi Yao had been lying earlier.
Even though she wasn't there anymore, he could still picture her sleeping figure before his eyes …
His brows and eyes became somewhat warm and soft.
A moment later, he suddenly said, "I should have known …"
As he said those words, the gentleness in his eyes was masked by a faint layer of sorrow.
Shi Yao hadn't closed the door to Lin Jiage's bedroom when she left, so she didn't make a sound when she returned. Lin Jiage, who was in a daze, didn't notice her.
She was intending to head to the bathroom to help Lin Jiage squeeze out some toothpaste, but when she passed by the bedside, she heard Lin Jiage's voice. She instinctively turned to look at him and asked, "What is it?"
Hearing her voice, Lin Jiage swiftly came back to his senses. He lowered his eyelids to conceal the emotions in his eyes before turning back to Shi Yao. As if he hadn't said anything at all, he replied with an indifferent tone, "It's nothing."
"Oh …" Shi Yao replied. She continued staring at Lin Jiage for a while longer, and seeing that there wasn't anything amiss with him, she thought that the hint of sorrow she had felt earlier was just her imagination. So, she pointed to the bathroom behind her and said, "… I'll help you squeeze out some toothpaste. Hurry up and wash up."
Lin Jiage replied with an "Mm" before falling silent.
Shi Yao turned around and headed into the bathroom.
Lin Jiage stared at her back for a while before lowering his head slightly.
I should have known … How could those scenes be real? How could she have kissed him on her own accord? That was a scene that would only appear in his dreams …
…
Not too long after the two of them were done washing up, China World Hotel Beijing delivered the dishes that Lin Jiage had ordered.
The dining table was extremely quiet. From time to time, Lin Jiage would glance at Shi Yao, who was eating with gusto.
Lin Jiage casually asked about the matter that he had been perplexed about back then, but he had forgotten about it due to those alluring scenes, "Oh right, did I have a fever last night?"
With her mouth full, Shi Yao nodded her head vehemently in response to Lin Jiage's question.
In truth, he already knew the answer to this question. So, after hearing Shi Yao's reply, he replied with a nonchalant "Oh" before getting straight to the point, "How did you know that I had a fever last night?"
Shi Yao was in the midst of drinking her soup when she heard those words, and she suddenly choked on her soup. With a reddened face, she began coughing violently.
When Shi Yao finally regained her senses, she saw a napkin in front of her.
After thanking him, she took the napkin from Lin Jiage's hand and wiped her mouth. After which, a conflicted look appeared on her face.
Lin Jiage's question … was a little difficult to answer!
