It didn't take long for the call to go through, and the 'beep' from the other end jolted Shi Yao awake.
She actually … actually called Lin Jiage earlier …
She instinctively wanted to hang up the call, but the person on the other end had already picked up the call before she could.
"Yaoyao?"
Even though they had met on his birthday a few days ago, when Shi Yao heard Lin Jiage's voice once more, she couldn't help but feel as if a century had passed since then. She couldn't help but feel conflicted.
Perhaps it was due to Shi Yao's silence, but Lin Jiage spoke up once more, "Yaoyao?"
Only then did Shi Yao realize that Lin Jiage's voice carried a hint of drowsiness. She subconsciously tightened her grip on her phone as she replied in embarrassment, "That … You're already asleep? I'm sorry, I didn't know. I didn't mean to wake you up … "
"I'm not asleep yet. I'm just preparing to sleep," Lin Jiage replied swiftly.
His reply left Shi Yao at a loss for words. She replied with an "Oh" before falling silent. A few seconds later, she finally realized that he was preparing to sleep … Where was he going to sleep?
With this thought in mind, Shi Yao blurted out, "Where are you going to sleep?"
"Hm?" On the other end of the call, Lin Jiage seemed to be taken aback by the question. It took a long while before he replied softly, "At my house …"
"You're sleeping alone?"
Of course he was sleeping alone. Was she supposed to be sleeping with him?
Lin Jiage subconsciously wanted to reply to Shi Yao's question, but just as the words were about to come out of his mouth, he suddenly recalled that he had waited for her at the Golden Resplendence for a very long time, but she didn't come in at all. Now that she was calling him and asking him these questions … Was she here to check on him?
Lin Jiage stared at the ceiling, feeling as if he was in a dream.
Shi Yao waited for a moment, but there was no response from Lin Jiage's end. She grew increasingly nervous. Could he have brought Liang Xiao home?
With this thought in mind, Shi Yao asked, "Lin Jiage?"
"Mm …" Lin Jiage hurriedly replied before replying, "What else could it be? If I'm not alone, could it be that there are two of you? "
"Who knows? Today, I …" At this point, Shi Yao hurriedly covered her mouth.
She had almost, almost exposed the fact that she had been following him.
Other people were tricked into revealing their whereabouts, but she was always the one who confessed without being forced to do so …
Even if she didn't say anything, Lin Jiage could already guess what she was going to say next. Nevertheless, he still intentionally asked, "What's wrong today?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing," Shi Yao replied swiftly due to her guilty conscience.
"I see …" Lin Jiage nodded in realization. "I thought that you met me today."
Shi Yao felt even more guilty upon hearing those words. Her tone grew heavier as she tried to sound confident, "No, no, how could that be possible? I-I-I'm at home right now …"
On the other end of the call, Lin Jiage's lips couldn't help but curl up upon hearing her panicked voice. A moment later, he hung up the call.
Shi Yao stared at the screen of her phone as she blinked her eyes several times.
Was it because the signal was bad and the call was cut, or … it was inconvenient on his side and he hung up on her?
