With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage reached out with his hand for the bottom of the passenger seat.
A pleasant surprise—he realized that her purse was actually still there…
It seemed like even the heavens were helping him… With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage took out Shi Yao’s purse.
Having found a legitimate reason, he fearlessly pressed his horn.
The harsh sound of the car horn immediately drew the gazes of several early risers loitering around the area.
And of course, this included Shi Yao as well.
Being in the closest proximity to his car, the car horn was the most jarring to her. As such, when she turned her head over, her expression was filled with irritation.
However, when she caught sight of Lin Jiage’s face beyond the windshield, she visibly jolted a little from astonishment. She then began making her way over to Lin Jiage’s car.
When Shi Yao was just about to reach his car, Lin Jiage opened his car door and walked out with her purse in hand.
Upon seeing Lin Jiage getting out, she subconsciously wanted to ask him why he was there. Just that, before the words could form at the back of her throat, she had already noticed the T-shirt he was wearing.
It was actually green… And furthermore, it was the type of green that could dazzle—if not blind—one’s eyes…
Shi Yao’s footsteps froze in place. Even the words she planned on asking Lin Jiage ended up jumbling the back of her mind.
On the other hand, as Lin Jiage watched Shi Yao walk in his direction, his first instinct was to tell her that her purse was with him.
The only problem was that before he could do so, he noticed that Shi Yao was looking at him with a peculiar gaze.
Why is she looking at me with like that? Is there something wrong with me?
Thinking this, he lowered his gaze to see just where Shi Yao was looking at.
And what he immediately caught sight of was his bright, bright green shirt. Only a fool wouldn’t realize the reason behind Shi Yao’s strange expression.
Lin Jiage was silent for a moment, but seeing that Shi Yao’s eyes were still persistently fixated on his T-shirt, he had no choice but to speak up, “Are my clothes very weird?”
Hearing Lin Jiage’s question, Shi Yao anxiously tore her eyes away from Lin Jiage’s shirt and looked at his face. Despite her heart blazing with curiosity, she still replied politely, “I-It’s not weird… at all…”
If it’s not weird, why are you staring at it so intensely then?
Lin Jiage didn’t expose Shi Yao and replied with an “Orh” instead. There was a brief awkward silence before he continued, “Then, what do you think of the T-shirt color?”
Shi Yao was deeply tempted to reply “So-so”, but… She made sure to keep her facial expression in check before replying with false composure, “It’s… It’s quite green?”
Green… That single word immediately reminded Lin Jiage of his entire night of indignance. So, he spoke up again, and this time his voice carried a grievous tone, like someone who had been wronged, “Then, do you think that this is a nice color?”
Well, there’s definitely no problem with the color green, but the color of the T-shirt you’re wearing… I really can’t find the words to describe it…
However, Shi Yao still didn’t dare to say the truth. She had also noticed that there was something rather wrong with Lin Jiage’s voice.
She couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but for just a split moment, she actually felt that his eyes looked a little aggrieved…
Shi Yao’s heart shuddered a little from her ‘mistaken perception’. Then, with a smile on her lips, she said her first truthful words to Lin Jiage today, “Well, the color of your shirt is really, really bright…”
“Un, I know. It’s the kind of bright green that dazzles your eyes,” Lin Jiage said. For some reason, the unhappiness in his voice seemed to have deepened a fair bit.
What should I do? I keep hearing resentment in Lin Jiage’s words, and it somehow feels much more intense than before…
Just as Shi Yao was wondering how to reply to Lin Jiage, someone suddenly called her name, “Darling Yaoyao…”
