As Lin Jiage's voice rang in her ears, Shi Yao thought of the scene of that night again for the first time in the past few days.
Her face flushed suddenly.
Maybe she didn't speak for a long time, but Lin Jiage on the other end of the phone spoke again: "Yaoyao, did you hear me?"
"I..." Shi Yao instinctively opened her mouth to the phone, and after only one word, she stopped.
After a while, she continued: "...I, I may not have time today..."
Lin Jiage: "Huh?"
When Shi Yao heard Lin Jiage's slightly puzzled question back, she subconsciously picked the phone twice with her fingertips.
She rarely lied, but she really didn't know how to face Lin Jiage, or rather, she was a little afraid of facing Lin Jiage, even though she didn't know what she was afraid of.
She organized her words a little in her heart, and then said with a guilty conscience: "Some time ago, I promised my mother that I would go shopping with her today, so I might not have time..."
Lin Jiage: "Well, that's really a coincidence..."
His tone didn't sound much different from usual, but Shi Yao, who had lied, was inexplicably lacking confidence in his heart, so the voice he spoke again was a little dry: "Yeah, what a coincidence..."
Compared to Shi Yao's nervousness, Lin Jiage's voice was still relaxed and ordinary: "It's okay, I can't do it today, I can choose another day, anyway, I can ask them not to serve new dishes, and let them add them to the menu after I show you to taste..."
After a pause, Lin Jiage asked again: "... What about tomorrow? Are you free? If not, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow..."
In her impression, Lin Jiage was a high-ranking person who dismissed everything and was rarely so patient...
Shi Yao was a little overwhelmed by Lin Jiage, she struggled for a while, but couldn't find the right words to reject, and finally just said: "I... not too sure..."
As her voice settled down, Shi Yao obviously felt that the atmosphere on the phone was much quieter.
Lin Jiage was rejected by her frequently... Are you upset
However, if he is happy, why should she care so much? When she rejected other boys before, those boys got drunk and ran to stand in the dormitory all night, wasn't she quite indifferent and extremely calm
While Shi Yao was thinking wildly, the silence on the phone was broken. Lin Jiage spoke, his voice was flat and the same as usual: "It's okay, I'll ask you again tomorrow or the day after..."
Shi Yao was stunned suddenly.
He... isn't angry
According to what she knew about him, he shouldn't have such a good temper.
He seemed to be different from the him in her memory, a bit different.
After more than ten seconds, Shi Yao came back to her senses, and replied slowly: "Oh."
Lin Jiage: "Then I won't bother you anymore, you go shopping with your mother and get in touch later."
Shi Yao couldn't believe it. The person on the other end of the phone was Lin Jiage. She said "Oh" in a daze again, and after hearing Lin Jiage's "goodbye", she replied "goodbye" and hung up the phone.
…
It was exactly as Lin Jiage said, the next day, he called Shi Yao again.
Shi Yaoyao wanted to accompany her mother to a relative's house today, but she refused.
