“No problem…”Lin Jiage took out his phone and dialed Beijing Grand Hotel’s number,”… is there anything else you’d like to eat?”
Shi Yao counted on her fingers and counted down the dishes she wanted to eat, “Steamed shrimp egg, deep well roasted goose, fish-flavored shredded pork, sweet and sour pork ribs…”
Lin Jiage repeated the names of the dishes to the person who picked up the call.
While Lin Jiage was leaving the address on the phone, Shi Yao suddenly remembered that she hadn’t washed up yet, so she ran to the bedroom next door to brush her teeth and wash her face.
By the time Lin Jiage ended the call, Shi Yao hadn’t returned yet.
He wasn’t in a hurry to get up. Instead, he turned his gaze to the spot where Shi Yao had just laid down.
Even though she was no longer there, he could still see her sleeping on her stomach..
His eyes turned a little soft.
A moment later, he suddenly spoke up, “I should have thought of this earlier…”
As his voice fell, the gentleness in his eyes was covered by a layer of sadness.
Shi Yao didn’t close Lin Jiage’s bedroom door when she left, so when she returned, she didn’t get noticed by the absent-minded Lin Jiage.
She had intended to go to the bathroom first to help Lin Jiage squeeze out some toothpaste, but when she passed by the bed, she heard Lin Jiage’s voice. Instinctively, she turned to look at him and asked, “What?”
Hearing her voice, Lin Jiage swiftly snapped back to his senses. He lowered his eyelids and hid the emotions that were seeping out of his eyes before turning to look at Shi Yao, as if he hadn’t said a single word just now, with a calm tone, he replied, “It’s nothing.”
“Oh…”Shi Yao replied. She continued staring at Lin Jiage for a moment, but seeing that he didn’t seem to be acting strangely at all, she thought that the tinge of sadness that she had sensed from him just now was just an illusion, pointing to the bathroom behind her, she said,”… I’ll go and squeeze some toothpaste for you. Hurry up and get up and wash up.”
Lin jiage replied with an “Un”, but he didn’t say anything else.
Shi Yao turned around and walked into the bathroom.
Lin jiage stared at her back for a moment before lowering his head slightly.
He should have thought of this earlier… how could those scenes be real? How could she take the initiative to kiss him? Those were scenes that would only appear in his dreams, and they were scenes that would only appear in his dreams..
..
After the two of them washed up, it didn’t take long before Beijing Grand Hotel delivered the dishes that Lin Jiage had ordered.
The dining table was very quiet. From time to time, Lin jiage would raise his eyelids to take a look at Shi Yao, who was enjoying her meal.
It was just a casual conversation, so Lin Jiage casually asked a question. It was something that he had been wondering about back then, but it was something that he had forgotten because of those romantic scenes. “Oh, right. Did I have a fever last night?”
With her mouth stuffed full, Shi Yao nodded furiously as she answered Lin Jiage’s question.
In truth, he didn’t need to ask this question to know the answer to it. Thus, after hearing Shi Yao’s answer, Lin jiage casually replied with an “OH”, then, he went straight to the point, “Then, how did you know that I had a fever last night?”
Shi Yao, who was still drinking her soup, suddenly choked on her soup upon hearing those words. With a reddened face, she began coughing violently.
By the time Shi Yao regained her composure, she saw a napkin in front of her.
After thanking him, she took the napkin from Lin Jiage’s fingertips, wiped her mouth, and began to struggle.
This question from Lin Jiage… is a little difficult to answer!
I can’t possibly tell him that I went to drink water in the middle of the night because I was thirsty, and I ended up in the wrong room and crawled into the wrong bed, right?
