As Shi Yao had expected, Lin Jiage brought her to the open-air restaurant where they had their dinner previously.
They were still seated in the same spot as before. In the middle of the three-meter-long dining table, there was still a bouquet of fresh flowers and a candlestick with nine candles burning on it.
Even the waiter was the one who had served them the last time. After they took their seats, the words that came out of his mouth were exactly the same as the last time, “Mr. Lin, may I know if the dishes are ready now?”
Lin jiage still had the same taciturn expression on his face. He nodded slightly, indicating that it was time.
The waiter replied with a smile, “Sure.”Then, he left.
Not too long later, the waiter arrived with a cart to serve the dishes.
Looking at the dishes placed on the table one after another, Shi Yao’s gaze finally fell on the sweet and sour ribs closest to her.
She remembered very clearly that the sweet and sour ribs was the first dish she had set her eyes on that day. When she picked up the dishes with her chopsticks, she sensed that something was amiss, so she raised her head and asked, “Eh? Didn’t you say that it was summer camp? Where are the others?”
If she didn’t know that everything that had happened was real, she would have thought that it was just a dream.
A moment later, Shi Yao’s gaze shifted from the sweet and sour pork ribs to Lin Jiage’s face. However, the words that she spoke were different from the previous time, “Lin Jiage, what’s Wrong?”
Lin Jiage didn’t say a word. Just like the previous time, he was holding a porcelain bowl that depicted gold and helping her fill up the soup.
Just as he was about to place the soup in front of her, Shi Yao asked once more, “You… why do you want to do everything from the time you came to Changming Mountain all over again?”
“This is fish soup. The fish is freshly killed, and the taste is exceptionally delicious. Have a taste.”After Shi Yao repeated her question twice, Lin jiage retracted his hand from the bowl of soup and raised his head to look at Shi Yao. Finally, he spoke up, just like the other day, the flickering candlelight reflected in his eyes made him look fresh and handsome.
“Lin…”Shi Yao could tell that Lin Jiage was intentionally changing the topic.
But before she could finish her sentence, he interrupted her once more, “These dishes are the specialty dishes of the chefs here. Try them. They’re all very delicious…”
Shi Yao opened her mouth, wanting to say something more.
But this time, before she could say a word, Lin jiage had already placed the dishes on her plate, and he spoke up once more,”… It’s cold now, and the food outside is getting cold fast. You should eat it while it’s still hot.”
Shi Yao stared at the mountain of delicacies on her plate for a moment before her lips twitched. In the end, she didn’t say anything else. Instead, she replied with a “Thank you”and started eating.
Seeing that she had started eating, he began eating as well.
After exhausting a lot of energy in the afternoon, Shi Yao was truly a little hungry. After filling her stomach, she realized that Lin Jiage had already put down his chopsticks, and through the flickering candlelight, he was staring at her intently, he was staring at her intently.
Even though the light outside was a little dim, so she couldn’t see the expression in his eyes clearly, Shi Yao could feel that he seemed to have a thousand words that he wanted to say to her.
But before she could open her mouth, he suddenly spoke up, “Are you full?”
Shi Yao nodded lightly.
Lin jiage raised his hand and gestured for the waiter to pay the bill. After which, he turned to Shi Yao and said, “Let’s go. I have something for you.”
