Come to think of it, it should have been four years since she left him, right?
Four years … Over a thousand days and nights, he had been thinking of her and looking for her, but it was as if she had vanished into thin air. He couldn't find her no matter how hard he tried.
…
China World Hotel Beijing.
Xia Shangzhou had been busy preparing for Lin Jiayi's birthday banquet since noon.
"Take this purple thing away. She hates this color the most."
"Remove this lilies as well. Remember, don't put lilies in places where she will appear. She doesn't like the smell of lilies. She finds it pungent."
"Try to maintain the original taste of this dish. Don't add too many condiments. She likes the original taste of this dish.
"When the dishes are served, this dish must be placed closest to her. She likes to eat it … And this Wintershade Skill soup, it must be placed next to her. She doesn't like to eat it, but this soup is good for her body. If it is placed next to her, she will drink a little … Help me hold this blanket first. There's a lot of air conditioning here at night, so it will definitely get cold. She needs it …"
"Help me keep this pair of flats. Remember to pass it to me right after the banquet is over … Also, I want piano music. She likes piano music … Did you put almonds in the cake? She likes to eat … Remember to cut down on soy sauce in all the dishes. She's been whitening recently, and due to her recent trip to the beach, she got tanned. She said that she wants to nurse it back to its original state, so she doesn't want to touch soy sauce anymore … "
"Oh, and …" Xia Shangzhou was just about to continue when he paused for a moment. "… I've forgotten about it. Let me think of something first …"
The manager of the World Hotel Beijing, who was next to Xia Shangzhou, wrote down the details one by one. He couldn't help but half-jokingly say, "Mr. Xia, you've always been so concerned about Miss Lin. Those who don't know would think you like Miss Lin."
Hearing those words, Xia Shangzhou burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "You should know that she's the boss, so of course I have to lick her boots."
The manager replied with a few "yes yes yes" before retreating back to his work.
After confirming that there was no one around him, the smile on Xia Shangzhou's face vanished, and a hint of sorrow surfaced in his eyes.
Was it really that obvious? It seemed that in the past year, he had heard more and more similar words …
However … he had never dared to expect anything from her. He treated her well because he liked her.
With such thoughts in mind, Xia Shangzhou walked out of the Beijing World Hotel and headed to a nearby supermarket. There, he picked out a pack of sanitary pads, which was Lin Jiayi's favorite.
Just now, he wanted to ask the hotel manager to prepare it for him, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he realized that it was a private matter and not appropriate.
These two days were her period. She would never prepare these things in advance.
…
Lin Jiayi's birthday banquet was set for 7 pm.
But it was already half-past seven, and Lin Jiayi still hadn't appeared.
The entire family tried calling Lin Jiayi one after another, but no one picked up.
It was already eight o 'clock, but Lin Jiayi was still nowhere to be seen.
Since Lin Shi was here, it was impossible for them to go hungry. Old Mister Lin instructed everyone to start eating.
But Xia Shangzhou wasn't in the mood to pick up his chopsticks. He discreetly called Lin Jiayi several times, but he was still unable to reach her. Thus, while no one was paying attention to him, he left the Beijing World Hotel and drove to look for her.
