Leng Nuan looked at the porcelain bottle at Lu Benlai’s fingertips and did not pick it up.
Lu Benlai had no intention of taking it back.
The two of them were in a stalemate for about 30 seconds, lu Benlai was defeated. “Take it, I don’t have any other intentions. Don’t worry, I won’t say it. If you take my medicine, I’ll let you give me your phone number in exchange. I’ve prepared this medicine for you. I sincerely want to give it to…”
Before Lu Benlai could finish his words, Leng Nuan had already reached out to take the medicine from Lu Benlai’s fingertips, “Thank you.”
After thanking him, Leng Nuan didn’t wait for Lu Benlai to say anything else. Instead, she turned to Shi Yao, Jiang Yue, and he tiantian and asked, “Are you done signing? If you’re done signing, then let’s Go…”
Jiang Yue and he tiantian nodded in agreement, “Let’s go, let’s Go!”
While chatting with Lin Jiage, Shi Yao knew that he would be heading home soon, so she didn’t leave. Instead, she waved her hands at her three roommates and said goodbye.
Leng Nuan replied with a ‘goodbye’to Shi Yao before taking the lead to walk away from Lu Benlai.
Lu Benlai didn’t mind her cold and distant attitude at all. He smiled at Leng Nuan’s back and said, “Goodbye, classmate Leng Nuan.”
Leng Nuan ignored him, and her footsteps didn’t stop either. However, she slowly retracted her grip on the medicine bottle.
..
By the time she left school, it was already four in the afternoon.
Just like before, Shi Yao still hailed a cab.
On the way back to Lin Jiage’s house, even though Lin Jiage knew that Shi Yao had an appointment tonight, he still pretended that he didn’t know anything and asked, “What are we eating tonight?”
Hearing Lin Jiage’s question, Shi Yao suddenly recalled that she had an appointment with [ year of Desolation ] for dinner tonight, she hadn’t told him yet, “Um… I forgot to tell you. I Can’t have dinner at home tonight. I have an appointment with a friend…”
“Oh, I see…”Lin Jiage put on a look of realization,”… Alright then, you go ahead and do your thing. I’ll have a bite to eat at home.”
Grab a bite to eat… it sounded quite pitiful… but since she had already promised to go to the barren year, it didn’t seem right for her to stand her up.
Shi Yao pondered for a moment before saying, “I’ll be right back after I finish my meal. Is there anything you want to eat? I’ll bring it back for you.”
Lin Jiage had always known when to retreat in order to advance, so he said, “I’m not hungry yet. When I’m hungry, I’ll just order some takeout. There’s no need for you to be in such a rush to come back. It’s not easy for you to get together with your friends for a meal, so having a good time is the most important thing.”
It would have been better if Lin Jiage hadn’t said that, but after hearing those words, Shi Yao suddenly felt a little guilty.
After all, he was injured because of her, and yet, she had left him at home, an injured patient, to go out for a meal with someone else… thinking about it, it really did seem a little cruel!
Shi Yao shook her head. “No, it’s not really an important meal. It’s just a meal. The main thing is that I’ve already promised someone else, so it’s not good for me not to go. I’ll be right back after I finish eating. If it’s early, I might even be able to accompany you for dinner…”
Hearing Shi Yao’s soft words, a hint of warmth surfaced in Lin Jiage’s eyes. “UN, alright. I’ll wait for you to come back.”
..
After returning home, Shi Yao was worried about Lin Jiage, so she instructed him in detail for quite some time. Seeing that time was running out, she left the house.
The traffic was a little congested, so it was already 7:30 pm when they reached the hot pot restaurant they were supposed to meet at.
While chatting with Yannian yesterday, he told her that he had already made a reservation.
