After hearing Lin Jiage’s explanation, Shi Yao didn’t think too much into it. She immediately took the elevator with Lin Jiage and headed to the Hotpot restaurant.
However, this wasn’t the first time she noticed that something was amiss with Lin jiage, so Shi Yao still paid close attention to him throughout the entire process of eating the hotpot. Other than the fact that he still couldn’t eat too spicy.., there wasn’t much difference between him and his usual self either.
It was only 8:30 pm when they returned to the hotel after eating hotpot.
After returning to their respective rooms, Shi Yao took a shower first. After washing away the smell of hotpot from her body, she suddenly felt like eating some fruits, so she grabbed her phone and ordered a takeaway.
Around twenty minutes later, the takeaway arrived.
!!
After Shi Yao went downstairs to retrieve the fruits, she didn’t go back to her room to eat alone. Instead, she knocked on Lin Jiage’s door.
Just like how she knocked on his door several times in the evening, no one answered.
She pressed the doorbell a few more times, but there was still no response from inside. Only then did she return to her room with a bizarre expression on her face.
Putting down the fruit, she picked up her phone and made a call to Lin jiage.
But no one picked up.
She began sending a message: [ Lin Jiage? I knocked on your door for half a day just now. Why aren’t you opening it? ]
[ Lin Jiage, I bought some fruit. Do you want some? ]
[ eh? Lin jiage, are you in the middle of a shower or something? If you see it, remember to reply to my message. ]
[ oh… you’ve been ignoring me for so long, are you sleeping? Alright then, I’ll eat it by myself… ]
After sending several messages to Lin jiage, Shi Yao saw that there was still no response from him, so she opened the takeout and sat down by the French window with a fork in her hand. While admiring the night view, she began eating the fruit.
It was still early, so she wasn’t sleepy at all. After eating a quarter of the fruits, she logged into the game.
..
After returning to the hotel with Shi Yao, Lin Jiage took a shower before lying on the bed in his bathrobe. As soon as he closed his eyes, he suddenly recalled the words that Shi Yao had said at the Beijing airport that afternoon.
I have someone I want to like as well… someone I want to like… someone I want to like..
These words echoed in Lin Jiage’s ears countless times. He suddenly sat up, grabbed a set of clean clothes from his luggage, put on his room key, and walked out of his room, he went to the lounge on the top floor to drink alone.
The lounge of this hotel was beautifully designed. Through the bright windows, one could see the brightly lit city outside.
While listening to the elegant music, Lin Jiage was enjoying the night view downstairs while drinking wine. However, after drinking a few glasses of wine, the stifling feeling in his heart didn’t dissipate. On the contrary, it became even more stifling.
He had no idea how long he had been here by himself, but the screen of his phone that he had casually placed on the table lit up.
It was a call from Shi Yao, but he didn’t pick up the call. Instead, he gulped down a glass of wine, and after he put down the glass, the screen lit up once more, this time, it was a message from Shi Yao: [ Lin Jiage? I knocked on your door for a long time just now, but why didn’t you open it? ]
Why was she knocking on My Door?
For a moment, Lin Jiage hesitated for a moment, but just as he was about to reply to her message, he saw a new message from her: [ Lin Jiage, I bought some fruit. Do you want some? ]
Don’t want any… Lin Jiage continued drinking, and he received two more messages from her.
This time, he didn’t even look at them.
After he finished the wine on the table, he raised his hand and gestured for the waiter to continue serving the wine. Just then, the screen lit up once more.
