Liang Xiao … Upon hearing those two words, Shi Yao subconsciously pricked up her ears. She even stopped drinking her water and focused all her attention on Lin Jiage's phone call.
Lin Jiage's back was facing her, making it impossible for him to see her at all. But in truth, he was discreetly assessing her through a mirror not too far away.
When he noticed the tense look on Liang Xiao's face after he spoke those words, his lips couldn't help but curl up into a smile. After hearing Liang Xiao's words, he intentionally conveyed the meaning behind her words to the young lady behind him, "Do I have time tonight?"
Lin Jiage's attention had been focused on Shi Yao the entire time, so when he saw her turn to look at him through the mirror, he calmly replied to Liang Xiao's question, "I think so. What's wrong?"
As he said those words, Lin Jiage noticed a slight frown on Shi Yao's forehead, seemingly dissatisfied with his answer.
But he was very satisfied with her reaction. In order not to expose himself, he forcefully pressed down on the curve of his lips. Just like before, he deliberately repeated Liang Xiao's words before replying to her, "Eat? Sure … "
Shi Yao's hand trembled, causing a large portion of the water in her cup to spill out.
Hearing the commotion, Lin Jiage feigned ignorance as he turned his head over to look at Shi Yao.
Meeting his questioning gaze, Shi Yao feigned a composed expression as she waved her hands casually. Then, as if she had accidentally placed the cup on the table, she took out two napkins and calmly wiped away the water on her wrists.
Seeing as Shi Yao was completely fine, Lin Jiage pretended not to see anything and continued speaking into his phone, "What time is it tonight? Six-thirty? Sure, no problem … Oh right, who's there? "
Lin Jiage intentionally paused for a moment before replying, "Just me and you?"
To Liang Xiao, who had been silent all this while, Lin Jiage's words were strung together as a single sentence. Who's there for dinner? Is it just me and you?
But to Shi Yao, it was as if Liang Xiao had replied to her words, telling her that it was just the two of them, and he was merely repeating her words …
As expected, barely after Lin Jiage said those words, a loud 'pah' sounded behind him.
He turned around and saw Shi Yao knocking the tissue box to the ground.
On the other end of the line, Liang Xiao, who was talking about who was having dinner tonight, heard the sound and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Jiage replied nonchalantly, "It's nothing much, I just accidentally knocked something over … If there's nothing else, I'll be hanging up now …"
After Liang Xiao hung up the call, Lin Jiage shot a glance at Shi Yao, who was squatting on the floor, picking up the tissue boxes. Speaking into the busy tone in his earpiece, he said, "Alright, I'll see you there tonight …"
There was another "pa" sound.
The tissue box that Shi Yao had just picked up fell heavily to the ground once more.
The tissue box was made of a special material. It was neither plastic nor porcelain, so it was quite resistant to knocks. However, after falling to the ground twice in a row, it broke into pieces.
