Shi Yao rarely lied, so it took her a lot of effort before she finally found a decent excuse, "Last night, I was a little thirsty, so when I got up to get some water, I heard some noises coming from your room …"
Hearing those words, Lin Jiage's heart jolted in shock. It can't be that I called for help due to my high fever, right?
Lin Jiage tried his best to maintain his composure, "What noises?"
Do you have to ask so many questions?
Shi Yao, who hadn't thought about such details before, couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
However, Shi Yao understood the logic of 'those who haven't eaten pork haven't seen a pig run'.
Even though it was rare for her to lie, she knew that since she was lying, she had to act as if she was in the right … With such thoughts in mind, she desperately tried to maintain the composure on her face as she said, "It's just the sound of coughing … A few times …"
Lin Jiage nodded in relief, "Is that so …"
Perhaps it was because she was lying, but Shi Yao felt that those three words sounded a little weird. She discreetly grasped the chopsticks in her hands and rolled her eyes before continuing, "That's right, that's how it is … Actually, I didn't think too much about it at the start. It's only because you were injured that the doctor told me to keep an eye on you, so I knocked on your door to check if you were alright. However, after knocking for a long time, you didn't respond at all. I thought that something had happened to you, so I pushed the door open and barged in without permission. In the end, I realized that your fever was really bad, just like boiled beef slices …"
Boiled beef slices …
Lin Jiage: "…" Lin Jiage's analogy sounded really like Shi Yao's.
After confirming from Shi Yao's words that he hadn't called for help last night, Lin Jiage didn't dwell on Shi Yao's analogy for too long before speaking up once more, "Then I really have to thank you for last night. If you hadn't paid attention to me, I might still be suffering from a high fever."
Hearing Lin Jiage's words, Shi Yao knew that she had managed to get away with it. "It's fine. I stayed behind to take care of you anyway."
Lin Jiage picked up a piece of boiled meat and gestured for her to eat while it was still hot.
Shi Yao replied with a soft "Thank you" before lowering her head to dig into her food.
Lin Jiage watched as Shi Yao continued eating, and he calmed himself down. So, it's just a cough … Thank goodness, at least my image isn't ruined …
When Lin Jiage finally retracted his gaze and lowered his head to continue eating, Shi Yao discreetly raised her eyes to look at Lin Jiage. Seeing that his expression was as calm as ever, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. It turns out that Lin Jiage is actually so gullible … It's fortunate that I'm smart enough …
…
After dinner, Shi Yao cleaned up the leftovers on the table before making a trip back to school.
Leng Nuan, Jiang Yue, and He Tiantian were all in the dormitory room. As soon as Shi Yao entered, the first thing she did was to check on Leng Nuan. Other than the slight bruise on the corner of her lips and the slight redness on her face, the latter had already reverted back to her usual calm and composed self.
Worried that something might happen to Lin Jiage at home, Shi Yao didn't linger in the dormitory room for too long. She packed up some clothes, grabbed her phone, and left the academy.
After returning to Lin Jiage's house, the first thing Shi Yao did after changing out of her shoes was to head over to Lin Jiage's house to take a look.
Perhaps it was because of the fever he had last night, but he hadn't fully recovered. After she left, he fell asleep on the bed again.
