Seeing that Lin Jiage was silent for a long time, Shi Yao asked once more, "It can't be that you didn't make a wish, right?"
"I made a wish …" Lin Jiage snapped out of his daze. He controlled his expression well, not revealing the slightest hint of emotion. He continued cutting the cake as he casually answered Shi Yao's question.
Shi Yao instinctively wanted to repeat the question that she had just asked.
However, barely after those words reached the tip of her tongue, Lin Jiage calmly spoke up once more, "But didn't they say that wishes won't come true once spoken?"
"You still believe in such things?" Shi Yao was surprised. Based on her impression of Lin Jiage, he wasn't someone who believed in such unrealistic things.
Lin Jiage replied with a light "Un" as he passed a slice of cake over to Shi Yao.
Believe.
It wasn't because he relied on such words.
Rather, it was because the wish was related to her. Even if he knew that it was unrealistic, he was still willing to fulfill it.
…
By the time they finished the cake, it was already getting late. Naturally, Shi Yao requested to leave.
As Lin Jiage had drunk a little, he couldn't drive, so he hailed a taxi to send Shi Yao back to school.
The taxi stopped at the entrance of the school, but Lin Jiage didn't get off. Shi Yao said, "I'll be leaving first" before pushing the car door open.
When she got off the car, just as she was about to close the door, Lin Jiage suddenly called out, "Yaoyao."
Shi Yao bent down to look at Lin Jiage, who was sitting at the back of the car.
His eyes were very bright, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile hidden in the depths of his eyes. He seemed to be very happy.
Under Lin Jiage's gaze, Shi Yao's heart skipped a beat. Following which, she felt as if she had been electrocuted, and a numbing sensation spread across her body. She was just about to reply with a "Un?", but in an instant, her lips fell silent.
Lin Jiage stared at her face for a moment before saying softly, "Drive safe on the way back to the dormitory."
Hearing Lin Jiage's words, Shi Yao swiftly recovered from her daze and replied with a "Un". She impatiently waved goodbye to Lin Jiage, closed the car door, and hurriedly dashed back to the campus.
Without turning back, Shi Yao could hear her heart pounding in her chest.
Thump, thump, thump … Every beat was clear and forceful.
…
After sending Shi Yao off with his gaze, Lin Jiage turned to the driver and said, "Return to where we were earlier."
"Okay," the driver answered and stepped on the accelerator.
He called out to her just now to tell her that he was very happy, very happy that she remembered his birthday and came to celebrate it with him.
But when the words reached his mouth, he forcefully suppressed them.
It was better not to express some emotions too obviously, lest he acted too rashly and scared her.
After all, he wasn't sure what she really thought of him. What if what she did today was done in a situation where she didn't even know what was going on? What he said would startle her. Not only would she not face it, but she would also start to avoid it. Wouldn't that be even worse?
