After returning to the car, Lin Jiage first started the engine and switched on the heater before heading to the trunk to take out two bottles of water. He unscrewed the cap of one of the bottles, twisted it shut, and passed it over to Shi Yao.
"Thank you," Shi Yao replied before taking the water from Zhang Xuan.
After sitting in the car for a while, Lin Jiage pondered over his words for a moment before asking, "Did … something unpleasant happen?"
Shi Yao didn't say a word.
However, through her eyes, Lin Jiage could tell that she seemed to have suffered some grievance. While his heart ached for her, he didn't force her to ask about the situation.
In an instant, the car fell silent.
Lin Jiage had no idea how long he had been sitting quietly in the car with Shi Yao, but he couldn't bear to see her remain silent for too long. So, he fell into deep thought. Eventually, he recalled what she liked to eat, so he broke the silence in the car and said, "Do you want to grab some supper?"
Shi Yao still didn't say a word.
Lin Jiage didn't mind at all, "I know a place that sells kebabs until two in the morning. It's really delicious."
Shi Yao remained silent.
Lin Jiage patiently continued, "You don't like kebabs? How about some crayfish? "
"Malatang?"
"Beef noodle?"
"It doesn't seem that late yet. It's only been a few hours since we had dinner. Are you still not that hungry?"
"I guess so. Let's wait for a while then … Tell me when you're hungry, and I'll bring you there …"
Listening to Lin Jiage's monologue for so long, Shi Yao suddenly felt tears flowing down her cheeks.
He was trying to coax her, but why did he end up making her cry instead?
Lin Jiage immediately panicked, "Why are you crying all of a sudden? Did I say something wrong earlier? I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I was wrong … "
As he apologized profusely, Shi Yao's tears flowed even more furiously.
She hadn't cried even as she watched her parents quarrel in her room, but listening to his words at this moment, she couldn't control her emotions anymore.
"Yaoyao, it's alright now. Stop crying …" Lin Jiage had never coaxed a girl before, and his sharp tongue made him incredibly clumsy at this moment. No matter how he tried, all he could say were the same words. Seeing that she was crying more and more fiercely, he quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe away her tears.
It was fortunate that Shi Yao didn't cry for too long. It didn't take long for her tears to stop flowing.
As if he had just escaped death, Lin Jiage heaved a sigh of relief.
Noticing Zhang Xuan's reaction, Shi Yao's eyes welled up once more, but this time, she didn't cry.
Due to the previous incident where he had tried to coax her, only to end up making her cry instead, Lin Jiage didn't dare to open his mouth easily anymore.
It was unusually quiet in the car.
All the way until the latter half of the night, Shi Yao sneaked a peek at Lin Jiage, and seeing that he was still looking at her with a nervous expression, her heart suddenly softened.
She pursed her lips slightly. After a while, she finally took the initiative to say, "My dad and mom, they-they're getting a divorce …"
Lin Jiage was initially overjoyed that she was finally willing to speak up, but after hearing the contents of her words, his heart suddenly ached.
It was no wonder why she looked so unhappy tonight. So that was the reason …
"Actually, I already knew that they were at odds with each other. If Grandpa Lin hadn't come knocking on my door and told me about our engagement, they might have already gotten a divorce by then …"
