By the time she came out, the sky was already dark. The streetlights along the streets were lit up one after another. Shi Yao stood by the roadside for a moment before making her way over to the bus stop not too far away.
She raised her head and stared at the bus stop for a moment. Then, with the cake in her hand, she waited patiently for around ten minutes. When the bus she was on finally arrived, she joined the crowd and boarded the bus.
Six in the morning was the peak hour of the night, and it was the most congested time of the day. The bus staggered for around an hour before it finally arrived at Shi Yao's destination.
She walked for around seven hundred meters before arriving at the entrance of Lin Jiage's apartment.
It was fortunate that she had lived here for a month in the past, so she had entered and exited the place frequently. The security guard remembered her, and upon seeing her, not only did he not stop her, he even chatted with her familiarly for a while before opening the door for her.
Lin Jiage's apartment was located in a large area, and there were plenty of greenery around it. It took Shi Yao more than ten minutes before she arrived at Lin Jiage's apartment.
She raised her head and counted from floor to floor, and when she reached the twenty-first floor, she realized that Lin Jiage's apartment was completely dark.
He told me that he wouldn't be staying at the Lin Family Manor but here … Even though he had renovated the other properties, he had never stayed there before, and he wasn't used to it either … So, he's busy with something and isn't back yet?
Shi Yao surveyed her surroundings before finding a chair to sit on. She placed the cake down and sat down, playing with her phone as she waited.
Time passed neither quickly nor slowly. Unknowingly, a notification popped up on Shi Yao's phone saying that it had less than 20% battery left.
Only then did Shi Yao take a look at the time. It was already ten o 'clock … Lin Jiage isn't back yet?
With this thought in mind, Shi Yao raised her head to look at the twenty-first floor, but the windows were still dark.
Shi Yao didn't bother with her phone anymore. Instead, she raised her head and stared at the window of Lin Jiage's apartment for a very long time. Only then did she realize what she was doing at this very moment.
She couldn't help but buy a cake, couldn't help but come to his house, couldn't help but wait for him downstairs for almost three hours... This was something she would never have done in the past, but today, without even realizing it, she did it all... When did he start to have such a big influence on her?
But all along, she was the one who insisted on canceling the engagement. Now that they had already done so, why was she … running to his apartment like this?
Shi Yao suddenly felt a little fearful. She looked at Lin Jiage's dark window before turning to look at the cake in her hand. After a long moment of hesitation, she finally stood up and left with the cake.
She walked along the same path toward the entrance of the apartment, but before she could even take two steps, a car suddenly appeared in front of her. The headlights were so bright that she couldn't even open her eyes.
She quickly moved to the other side, but due to the blinding light, she had to raise her hand to shield.
It didn't take long for the car to reach her side before it drove past her.
When the blinding light disappeared, Shi Yao put down her hand and raised her foot once more. But before she could take another step, the car that had just driven past her reversed and stopped right beside her.
