Before Shi Yao could recover from her shock, Lin Jiage, who was sitting in the car, suddenly spoke up, “Yaoyao?”
He sounded as if he was surprised to see her here, and there was an imperceptible hint of surprise in his voice.
Shi Yao’s heart jolted upon hearing Lin Jiage’s words, and her fingers subconsciously gripped the cake bag tightly in her hands.
She stared at him silently.
He waited for a moment before turning to the driver in front of him. “I’ll get off here. You can go back now.”
“Alright, Mr. Lin,”the driver said as he prepared to get off the car and open the door for Lin Jiage. However, just as he was about to unfasten his seatbelt, Lin Jiage had already pushed open the car door and walked over to Shi Yao.
After the driver turned around and left, Lin jiage asked, “Yaoyao, why are you here?”
After saying those words, his gaze followed Shi Yao’s face down, and it was only then that he noticed the cake in her hand.
It was his birthday today, and she had appeared at his apartment building with a cake in her hand… could it be that she had specially come here to look for him?
Lin jiage stared at the cake in Shi Yao’s hand for a moment before turning his gaze back to her. Then, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice, he asked, “You… are you here to look for me?”
Shi Yao, who hadn’t thought of a way to explain her appearance to Lin Jiage, hesitated for a moment upon hearing his words, but in the end, she still nodded her head and replied with an “MHM.”.
Her voice was very soft, just like a feather, gently sweeping across Lin Jiage’s heart.
However, such a light touch caused a surge of ecstasy to surge in Lin Jiage’s heart. However, he didn’t dare to show it too clearly, so he tried his best to control his emotions and stared at her for a long while, then, he asked, “Then why aren’t you going up?”
“It’s a little cold in the late autumn night, so what if I catch a cold? I haven’t changed the password to my house yet. If you ever come back again, you can just go straight to my house and wait for me… how long have you been waiting here?”
In the end, Lin Jiage was still too excited, so he didn’t stop talking the moment he opened his mouth.
After muttering to himself for a long while, he finally realized that he was talking too much. Thus, he quickly cut to the chase and asked, “Um, do you want to go upstairs and have a seat?”
Shi Yao’s words had nothing to do with Lin jiage, “You… drank?”
“Oh, I had a meeting with someone tonight to discuss work, so I drank a little.”
Shi Yao didn’t say a word. It was no wonder that when the wind blew, she could smell the faint scent of alcohol on his body.
He was so busy that he only came back now, so his birthday..
Seeing that Shi Yao had fallen silent once more, Lin Jiage spoke up once more, “It’s too cold here. Why Don’t you go upstairs first?”
Shi Yao hadn’t intended to follow Lin Jiage upstairs, but after hearing that he had only returned from his busy schedule, she changed her mind. Nodding her head lightly, she followed Lin jiage into the apartment building.
Upon reaching home, Lin Jiage opened the shoe cabinet, took out Shi Yao’s slippers, and changed into them himself.
Shi Yao stared at the shoes that Lin Jiage had placed in front of her, and she stood by the door without moving.
Those were the shoes that she had worn when she had stayed at his house for a month. It had been a long time since then, and he still had them. However, they were much cleaner than before, so he must have arranged for someone to wash them..
After changing his shoes, Lin Jiage stood up and glanced at the indifferent Shi Yao. “What’s Wrong?”
