Roughly twenty minutes later, Lin Jiage appeared at the entrance of the stadium with a huge bag in his hands.
The field was crowded with spectating students. Lin Jiage paused for a moment before taking out his phone to make a call.
Soon, the call connected, and amidst noisy cheers, Shi Yao’s soft and gentle voice sounded, “Hello?”
“Mm…” Lin Jiage replied. A second later, he quickly added, “… Where are you?”
Caught off guard by the sudden question, an “Ah?” escaped from Shi Yao’s mouth before she replied properly, “I’m at the school field…”
As if I don’t know that! What I’m asking is which part of the school field are you at?
“…” Lin Jiage was quiet for a moment, and just when he wanted to speak, Shi Yao’s voice sounded from the other end once more, “Is there something up?”
“Mm, there is…” After saying those two words, Lin Jiage paused for a moment to glance at the bag in his hand before continuing, “… So, a girl recently sent me some drinks. Do you want them? Otherwise, I’ll be throwing them away…”
…
Does Lin Jiage really think that I’m a waste disposal stop? Just recently he dumped me with a heap of ‘fruit-trash’, and I’m not even done processing them yet. Now a new pile of ‘trash’ is already on its way?
Shi Yao scratched her phone as she pondered over this dilemma, and whether she should accept this fresh batch of ‘trash’. At this moment, Lin Jiage’s voice sounded through the phone once more, “Forget it, treat it like I never asked. I’ll just throw them away…”
The thought of wasting precious food made Shi Yao feel like a dagger had been plunged into her heart. Without thinking, her mouth moved on its own accord, “Where are you? I’ll look for you now…”
…
Seeing that his scheme had succeeded, a smile crept up Lin Jiage’s lips.
It seems like that random excuse I came up with that day is still effective.
“It’s fine, I’ll look for you instead. There’s ice cream in here, so it might melt before your short legs can get to me.”
…
What do you mean by short legs?
Even if my legs are a little shorter compared to yours, I could always make up for it by running…
Shi Yao puffed up her cheeks unhappily, but unable to resist the temptation of food, she didn’t refute Lin Jiage’s words and straightforwardly told him where she was.
…
After receiving Shi Yao’s location, Lin Jiage leisurely made his way over with the huge bag in hand.
He didn’t rush ahead when he spotted her. Instead, he took out his phone and held it in front of him, making it seem as if he was looking at a text message, but in fact, he was actually scanning the surroundings. When he saw the heavily sweating Han Jing heading over with a bag in hand, Lin Jiage slipped his phone back into his pocket and walked over to Shi Yao.
There were quite a few students in the area who noticed Lin Jiage’s presence, and they turned around to look at him with excitement.
On the other hand, Shi Yao was huddled together with her three roommates, seemingly discussing something important. As such, she didn’t notice the approaching Lin Jiage.
Lin Jiage stopped right next to Shi Yao before lowering his gaze to look at her. He waited a while, but it didn’t seem like she was aware of his presence at all. Thus, he took out an ice cream from the bag and placed it right next to her fair cheeks.
Shi Yao jolted from the sudden cold sensation, and she quickly raised her head in alarm.
At the same time, her other three teammates also turned around at the same time and noticed Lin Jiage.
Jiang Yue and He Tiantian gasped in excitement while Leng Nuan calmly stood up to free a seat next to Shi Yao.
Lin Jiage sat down in Leng Nuan’s seat. He shot a glance ahead of him and saw that Han Jing was already walking over to them, so he unwrapped the packaging for the ice cream, and when Han Jing looked their way, he passed the ice cream right into Shi Yao’s hand.
In that moment, Lin Jiage clearly saw in his peripheral vision that Han Jing’s footsteps had paused, and he celebrated gleefully on the inside.
Nevertheless, he maintained an incomparably composed appearance as he took out a bottle of Mai Dong, uncapped the lid, and passed it over to Shi Yao.
