He had already taken off his coat, probably when he was just making brown sugar ginger tea, and rolled up his cuffs for convenience.
Just as Shi Yao turned her head, before she could speak, she saw obvious scars on his exposed arm.
The scars have scabbed over, but it still looks a little shocking...
Shi Yao suddenly remembered what Sister Jiayi had said to her, and then staring at Lin Jiage's arm, she couldn't help but say, "You... you were beaten by Grandpa Lin, right?"
When asked by Shi Yao, Lin Jiage quickly rolled up his sleeves, but he still caught the point of her words very keenly, "How do you know it's Grandpa?"
He finished asking the question one second, and seemed to understand the next second, and opened his mouth again: "You know everything?"
Although his words were unclear, Shi Yao knew that he was referring to the reasons he made up for Grandpa Lin, so she nodded: "Well, I called Sister Jiayi, and Sister Jiayi told mine… "
After being silent for two seconds, Shi Yao spoke again: "Why did you lie to Grandpa Lin like this? If you are like this, people will misunderstand you for no reason...you..."
While Shi Yao was talking, she didn't know how to continue.
"Yaoyao, I will definitely do what I promised you."
"But... But you can't let yourself be wronged."
"Is there?" Lin Jiage suddenly smiled with widened brows and eyes: "I don't feel wronged..."
Lin Jiage's calm words made Shi Yao's eyes suddenly sore, she subconsciously lowered her head, and kept such a quiet and obedient appearance for a long time before she whispered: "Lin Jiage, thank you... "
"Okay, this is what I want to do..." Lin Jiage said, and then his eyes fell on Shi Yao's cake box on the table: "...What is that? Cake?"
"Hmm..." Shi Yao heard Lin Jiage's words, looked up at the cake, then took her own bag, took out the exquisitely packaged box from inside, and handed it to Lin Jiage: "This is for you, and so is the cake." It's for you."
"Mine?" Lin Jiage's eyes were filled with surprise, and because of his excitement, when he took the box, his fingertips trembled slightly.
"Well, today is your birthday. I promised you before that I would give you a birthday present..." After Shi Yao explained in a low voice, she added: "... I chose the gift, I don't know if you like it or not. …”
Before Shi Yao could say the last words, Lin Jiage preemptively said, "I like it!"
After finishing his answer, Lin Jiage raised his wrist and glanced at the time: "It's not past twelve o'clock, and it just so happens that I haven't had a cake for my birthday today. Since you brought a cake, how about we cut a cake?"
Shi Yao did not refuse.
Lin Jiage pulled the cake in front of him, took it apart, and inserted the candles.
Before blowing out the candles, Shi Yao seriously said happy birthday to Lin Jiage, and Lin Jiage clasped his palms together, looking devout, and made a wish.
When he blew out the candles and cut the cake, Shi Yao couldn't help asking curiously, "What wish did you make?"
Lin Jiage's movement of cutting the cake paused.
He didn't speak, but in his mind, he recalled the wish he had just made.
His wish is: May he still hear her say happy birthday to him next year.
He said next year, not that next year, what he said next year was next year next year, next year next year next year... until there was no next year in his life.
PS: I know that there will never be a next year in his life~ Haha, Ge Liao~~~ The update is finished today, see you in the update tonight~ Remember to vote for Ge Liao!
