Before Shi Yao could recover from her shock, Lin Jiage, who was seated in the car, suddenly called out, "Yaoyao?"
He seemed to be surprised to see her here, and there was an indiscernible hint of astonishment in his nonchalant voice.
Shi Yao's heart skipped a beat upon hearing Lin Jiage's voice, and her fingers subconsciously tightened their grip on the cake bag in her hand.
She looked at him silently.
He waited for a moment before turning to the driver and saying, "I'll be getting off here. You can go back."
"Alright, Mister Lin." The driver was about to open the door for Lin Jiage, but by the time he unbuckled his seatbelt, Lin Jiage had already pushed open the car door and walked over to Shi Yao.
After the driver turned around and left, Lin Jiage finally spoke up once more, "Yaoyao, what are you doing here?"
After saying those words, his gaze moved down her face, and it was only then that he noticed the cake bag in her hand.
It was his birthday today, and she appeared at his place with a cake … Could she be here to look for him?
Lin Jiage stared at the cake bag in Shi Yao's hand for a moment before he turned his gaze back to her eyes. With a hint of uncertainty in his voice, he asked, "Are you … here to look for me?"
Shi Yao, who hadn't been able to think of a way to explain her appearance to Lin Jiage, hesitated for a moment before nodding her head and replying with a "Un".
Her voice was very light and soft, like a feather, lightly brushing against Lin Jiage's heart.
It was just a light touch, but Lin Jiage couldn't help but be overjoyed. However, he didn't dare to make it too obvious, so he tried his best to control the emotions on his face. He stared at her for a long while before asking, "Why aren't you going up then?"
"It's a little cold at night in late autumn. What if you fall sick from the cold? I've never changed the password to my house, so you can just wait for me at my place the next time you come … How long have you been waiting here? "
In the end, Lin Jiage was still too agitated that he couldn't stop talking.
It took him a while before he realized that he had spoken a little too much, so he quickly got to the point, "Do you want to go upstairs?"
Shi Yao's words had nothing to do with Lin Jiage at all, "You … were drinking?"
"Oh, I had a work appointment tonight, so I drank a little."
Shi Yao didn't say a word. It was no wonder she could smell the faint scent of alcohol on his body when the wind blew by earlier.
He was so busy that he only came back now. Then, his birthday …
Seeing that Shi Yao had fallen silent once more, Lin Jiage spoke up once more, "It's too cold here. Shall we head upstairs first?"
Initially, Shi Yao had no intention of following Lin Jiage up the stairs, but after hearing that he was busy, she changed her mind. She nodded lightly before following Lin Jiage into the apartment building.
After returning home, Lin Jiage opened the shoe cabinet and took out a pair of slippers for Shi Yao before changing into his own.
Shi Yao stared at the pair of shoes that Lin Jiage had placed in front of her for a very long time.
Those were the shoes she had worn when she had stayed at his place for a month. It had been a long time since then, but he still kept them. However, they were much cleaner than before. He must have arranged for someone to specially clean them …
