Hearing Lin Jiage's explanation, Shi Yao didn't think too much about it. She took the elevator with Lin Jiage and headed to the hotpot restaurant.
However, this wasn't the first time she had noticed that something was amiss with Lin Jiage, so she paid close attention to him throughout the entire meal. Other than being unable to eat too much spicy food, he didn't seem to be too different from how he usually was.
By the time they were done eating the hotpot and returned to the hotel, it was only eight-thirty.
After returning to their respective rooms, Shi Yao went to take a shower to wash away the smell of the hotpot. Suddenly, she felt a craving for fruits, so she took out her phone and ordered a takeaway.
Around twenty minutes later, the takeaway arrived.
After Shi Yao went downstairs to get the fruits, she didn't return to her room to eat alone. Instead, she knocked on Lin Jiage's door.
Just like when she came to look for him earlier in the evening, no one answered the door.
She pressed the doorbell a few more times, but there was still no response. Perplexed, she returned to her room.
She put down the fruits, picked up her phone, and gave Lin Jiage a call.
No one picked up.
So, she sent a message: [Lin Jiage? I've been knocking on your door for so long, why aren't you opening it?]
[Lin Jiage, I bought some fruits. Do you want some?]
[Hm? Lin Jiage, are you taking a shower or busy? Remember to reply to my message when you see it.]
[Oh … You're ignoring me for so long. Are you asleep? Alright then, I'll eat it alone …]
After sending Lin Jiage a few more messages, Shi Yao still didn't get a response from him. So, she opened the takeaway, grabbed a fork, and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, enjoying the night view while eating the fruits.
It was still early, so she didn't feel sleepy at all. After finishing a quarter of the fruits, she logged into the game.
…
After returning to the hotel with Shi Yao, Lin Jiage took a shower before lying on the bed wrapped in a bathrobe. As soon as he closed his eyes, he felt as if a curse had been cast on his ears. He recalled the words Shi Yao had said at the Beijing Airport that afternoon.
I also have someone I want to like … someone I want to like … someone I want to like …
Those words echoed in Lin Jiage's ears countless times. He suddenly sat up, took out a set of clean clothes from his luggage, and put them on. After stuffing his room card into his room, he walked out of his room and headed to the top floor's lounge to have a drink.
The lounge of this hotel was beautifully designed. Through the bright windows, one could see the brightly lit city outside.
While listening to the elegant music, Lin Jiage admired the night view below as he sipped on his wine. However, after a few cups of wine, not only did the stifling feeling in his heart not dissipate, it even intensified.
He didn't know how long he had been here alone. The phone screen that he had placed on the table lit up.
It was a call from Shi Yao, but he didn't pick up the call. Instead, he gulped down a glass of wine. After he put down the wine glass, his screen lit up once more. This time, it was a message from Shi Yao: [Lin Jiage? I just knocked on your door for a long time, why didn't you open the door? "
Why did she knock on his door?
For a split second, Lin Jiage was just about to reply to her message when he saw her new message: [Lin Jiage, I bought some fruits. Do you want some?]
Don't eat it … Lin Jiage continued drinking, and soon after, he received two more messages from her.
This time, he didn't even look at it.
After he finished the wine on the table, he raised his hand and called for the waiter to bring more wine. The screen lit up again.
