Leng Nuan looked at the porcelain bottle in Lu Benlai's hand, but she didn't take it.
Lu Benlai had no intention of taking it back either.
After a stalemate of roughly thirty seconds, Lu Benlai finally gave in. "Take it, I don't mean anything by it. Don't worry, I won't say anything. Since you took my medicine, I asked you to give me your phone number in exchange for it. I prepared this medicine for you, and I sincerely want to give it to you …"
Before Lu Benlai could finish his words, Leng Nuan had already reached out to take the medicine from his hand and said, "Thank you."
After thanking Lu Benlai, Leng Nuan turned to Shi Yao, Jiang Yue, and He Tiantian, who were standing by the side, and asked, "Are you done signing the papers? If you're done, let's go … "
Jiang Yue and He Tiantian nodded in agreement, "Let's go!"
Shi Yao knew that Lin Jiage would be returning home soon, so she didn't leave. Instead, she waved her hand at her three roommates and bid them farewell.
Leng Nuan replied with a "Goodbye" before walking away from Lu Benlai.
Lu Benlai didn't mind her cold and distant attitude at all. With a smile on his face, he said to Leng Nuan's back, "Goodbye, Classmate Leng Nuan."
Leng Nuan ignored him, and her footsteps didn't slow down either. However, her grip on the medicine bottle slowly tightened.
…
It was already four in the afternoon by the time they left the school.
Just like when she first came to school, Shi Yao hailed a cab.
On the way back to Lin Jiage's house, Lin Jiage pretended to be oblivious to Shi Yao's plans and asked, "What are we eating tonight?"
Hearing Lin Jiage's question, Shi Yao suddenly remembered that she had a dinner date with [Desolate Year], but she hadn't told him about it yet. "Ah … I forgot to tell you that I won't be able to eat at home tonight. I have a friend …"
"Oh, I see …" Lin Jiage nodded in realization. "… Alright then. You go ahead with your work, I'll just grab a bite at home."
Just grab a bite … It sounded really pitiful … But she had already agreed to meet Desolate Year, so it wouldn't be good for her to stand him up.
Shi Yao pondered for a moment before replying, "I'll be back right after I'm done eating. Do you have anything you want to eat? I'll bring it back for you."
Lin Jiage always knew when to retreat in order to advance. "I'm not hungry yet, so I'll just order some takeaway when I'm hungry. You don't have to rush back either. It's not every day that we're out for a meal, so it's more important that we have fun."
It would have been better if Lin Jiage hadn't said those words, but for some reason, Shi Yao couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
After all, he was injured because of her. Now, she left him, an injured person, at home and went out to eat with others … Thinking about it, it was really cruel!
Shi Yao shook her head and replied, "No, it's not really an important gathering. It's just a meal. I've already made a promise to someone else, so it won't look good if I don't go. I'll be back right after I'm done eating. If I come back earlier, I might even be able to accompany you for dinner …"
Hearing Shi Yao's gentle words, a hint of warmth surfaced in the depths of Lin Jiage's eyes. "Alright, I'll wait for your return."
…
After returning home, Shi Yao was still worried about Lin Jiage, so she spent quite some time telling him to take care of things. It was only when she saw that she was running out of time that she finally left the house.
The traffic was a little congested, and by the time she arrived at the hotpot restaurant, it was already 7.30 pm.
