The other end of the line fell silent once more.
Three seconds later, Xia Shangzhou: “How is this a good thing? This is clearly dog abuse!”
Lu benlai: “The Heck! You made me jump out of bed so excitedly. I’m so disappointed! I’m so disappointed!”
Lin jiage coughed softly.
The tone of the two on the other end of the line changed in an instant.
Xia Shangzhou: “Boss, this is really a good thing! It’s a great thing! Hahaha, I’m so happy…”
Lu benlai: “Boss, do you know that I love dog food the most? Please feel free to feed me as much as you want!”
Only then did Lin jiage hang up the phone in satisfaction.
He glanced at the time, and it was already very late. She didn’t reply to his wechat message either..
Lin jiage guessed that Shi Yao was probably already asleep, but due to her illness, he was still a little worried. Thus, he returned to her room, took out her room card, and swiped open her door.
The lights in her room were all switched on, so there was plenty of light. The curtains weren’t drawn either, and she was curled up on the bed with her phone in her hand. Just as he had guessed, she was already fast asleep.
Lin jiage first turned off the lights in the room, leaving only the two sleeping lights on the bedside table. Then, he pulled the curtains back, and he walked over to the bedside quietly and picked up the blanket that she had kicked off the floor, he carefully covered her body with it, then took the phone from her hand and placed it gently on the bedside table.
Her sleeping face looked peaceful and beautiful.
Lin Jiage knew that she was no longer suffering, but he wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Instead, he sat on the edge of the bed and gazed at her quietly.
It was late at night, and he was the only one here. As he gazed at her, he unscrupulously displayed the deep feelings in his heart to his heart’s content.
He slowly reached out his hand and gently touched her cheek, his actions gentle and protective.
“You said that you have someone you want to like…”he lowered his eyelids slightly to hide the dimness in his eyes,”… I was really sad, but after some thought, I realized that it doesn’t really matter…”
“Your first love isn’t me…”at this point, Lin jiage raised his eyelids once more, and a faint smile crept onto his lips,”… But my first love is you…”
As his voice trailed off, Lin Jiage’s fingertip lightly brushed Shi Yao’s cheek twice. After which, he stared at her for a while longer before withdrawing his hand.
It was really getting late. He stood up and prepared to leave, but before he could do so, his attention was drawn to a notebook on the bedside table.
Was that… a notebook or a diary?
If it was a diary, it wouldn’t be right for him to make a move without her permission, right?
But if it was really a diary, would there be any records of the person she wanted to fall in love with..
Lin Jiage struggled for a long time in his heart, but in the end, he still reached out to grab the notebook.
There was a pen in it, and he casually opened it to find the page where the pen was.
Under the dim light from the bedside table, he saw a few lines of words on it.
September 30th, 2018. Air Fare: 2,680 yuan.
October 1st, 2018. Hotel fare: 2,800 yuan per night. Seven nights in total.
October 1st, 2018. Drip Fee: 1,500 yuan.
Lin jiage frowned slightly as he stared at the three lines of words for a moment. Then, he realized that the air fare referred to the air fare from Beijing to Chengdu, and the hotel fare referred to the cost of staying here with her, the drip fee was the money that he had spent to bring her to the hospital tonight.
