He was ecstatic because of her compliment. He thought that he had given so much and waited so long for hope, but the ledger was like a basin of cold water, pouring down on him, it made him realize the reality.
She had calculated the account so clearly, what did this mean? It meant that no matter how much she changed her view of him, she had never once thought of wanting to be with him. In the end, he was just a friend to her..
Lin Jiage didn’t know how long he had been lying there like an idiot. All he knew was that when he came back to his senses, he realized that his heart was in a lot of pain. It was heart-wrenching, bone-piercing pain… it was even more painful than when he had confessed to her back then, after being rejected by her, it was even more excruciating than before..
That’s right, how could it not hurt?
He was thinking about the future between her and him, but she was thinking about the end between them.
Lin Jiage’s throat felt as if something was clutching onto it, suffocating him. He slowly raised his hand and placed it on his chest. He could feel his heart beating rapidly.., it was a deep pain.
..
Due to the fact that she had slept late the previous day, it was already close to noon when Shi Yao woke up the next day.
Starving, she jumped out of bed and washed up. After which, she changed her clothes and ran over to the other side to knock on the door.
Perhaps it was because Lin Jiage was still asleep, but after Shi Yao rang the doorbell three or four times, the faint sound of footsteps could be heard from behind the door.
The door opened, and before she could see who it was, she spoke up first, “Lin Jiage, we…”
At this point, she suddenly paused.
She stared at the person who had opened the door for quite some time before speaking up in a daze, “Sis… Sis Jiayi, why… Why Is it you?”
With that, Shi Yao stretched her head into the room and asked, “Where’s Lin Jiage? Is He still asleep?”
Lin Jiayi, who had been woken up by Lin Jiage the entire night, took the morning flight over. Yawning, she tugged at her pajamas and gestured for Shi Yao to enter the room, at the same time, she replied, “Atm? He called me in the middle of the night, saying that he had something urgent to attend to and that he had to go to Shanghai. He said that he brought you to Chengdu to play, but he couldn’t accompany you. He was worried about leaving you here alone, so he asked me to come over to play with you…”
As Lin Jiayi spoke, she walked into the bathroom and squeezed some toothpaste into her toothbrush before asking, “Little Darling Yaoyao, the ATM told me that you were sick last night. How are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?”
Shi Yao nodded and replied, “I’m fine now.”
Lin Jiayi, who was brushing her teeth, didn’t say anything. Instead, she pointed to her room and gestured for her to find a random spot to wait for her.
After brushing her teeth, Lin Jiayi washed her face, at the same time, she said, “Yaoyao, we’re going to have skewers for lunch, and the ATM will pay for it. Don’t worry, enjoy yourself these few days. Before I came here, the ATM had already arranged for us to eat, sleep, eat, and have fun… I’m the best at having fun, so just follow me and watch how I bring you to Chengdu to have fun…”
..
Shi Yao had sent a message to Lin Jiage asking if he had arrived in Shanghai yet.
Perhaps it was because he was too busy, so he didn’t reply to her.
According to Lin Jiage’s original schedule, Shi Yao and Lin Jiayi had been in Chengdu until the end of the 11th long holiday before returning to Beijing.
Shi Yao had planned to head straight back to school the next day, but after returning from Chengdu, she brought some specialty products for her parents. After a moment of hesitation, she decided to return home.
