It would have been fine if Lin Jiage hadn’t mentioned it, but the moment he did, Shi Yao’s expression immediately turned livid. “I almost forgot about it. Do you know that I got stood up today? I’m so angry!”
Stood up… this must be referring to that 36.1 thousand wild man, right?
As the initiator of this outcome, Lin Jiage pretended to be confused. “What do you mean by stood up?”
“That’s right. The person who invited me to dinner didn’t even show up. I had to wait for him in the restaurant for an entire hour and a half. Do you know that I was starving to death back then? Furthermore, it was a hot pot restaurant! The air was filled with the calling of the hot pot, and I was in so much pain!”
“The calling of the hot pot?”Lin Jiage picked out words that he didn’t quite understand.
“It’s the smell of Hotpot. It keeps calling out to me, come and eat me, come and eat me… isn’t it just the call of Hotpot?”
Lin Jiage:”…”it seemed like it made a lot of sense, making it impossible for him to refute it… So, he didn’t dare to refute it either.
Lin jiage: “Since you haven’t eaten, and I haven’t eaten either, why don’t we go out and eat hotpot now?”
“Alright, Alright!”Shi Yao immediately nodded with a smile.
Lin Jiage didn’t say anything else as he got off the bed.
As the two of them walked toward the dining hall, Shi Yao seemed to be presenting a treasure to them, she was still chattering non-stop, “Let me tell you, my hotpot is really delicious. As a formidable foodie, I have to possess astonishing culinary skills. I had to travel a long distance to buy these hotpot ingredients!”
Travel a long distance… could it be that Soft Bun had gone home so late to buy hotpot seasonings?
Lin jiage suppressed the uncontrollable joy in his heart and asked in a roundabout manner, “You came back so late. Did you go to buy hotpot seasonings?”
“That’s right. I wanted to eat hotpot. If I didn’t eat it, I wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.”Seeing that the hotpot on the dining table was already boiling, Shi Yao hurriedly rushed over, lifted the lid, and took a look, after which, she began putting meat slices into the pot. “Let me tell you, I was really unlucky tonight. You said that it was already pitiful to be stood up by someone, right? In the end, when I left, I was even caught in a torrential downpour!”
Torrential downpour, the main thing that he was most concerned about —
Before Shi Yao could finish her sentence, Lin jiage hurriedly asked, “I remember that you didn’t bring an umbrella with you when you left. Did you get wet?”
In order to make it seem like he was only concerned about her, there was no other reason behind it, lin jiage even added on, “Did you take a hot shower when you got home? Why didn’t you call me and ask me to pick you up? Even if I can’t go, I can get a chauffeur to pick you up…”
“No, no, no…”Shi Yao hurriedly shook her head,”… I’ll be fine. My Luck was a little better. I met an alumnus at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, and he brought me back to school.”
As such, Soft Bun didn’t eat hot pot with Han Jing at all… he knew that his red apricot was tall and straight!
Lin Jiage’s heart was filled with joy, but the tension on his face eased up significantly, “It’s good that you didn’t get wet.”
However, it was only nine o’clock at the time, and she actually took more than two hours to get home. Had she been buying food the entire time?
Lin jiage felt that the possibility was very high, but for the sake of peace of mind, he still asked a question. However, he acted as if he was chatting, “And then you went to the supermarket?”
