Shi Yao, who rarely lied, put in a lot of effort to find an excuse that she thought wasnāt too bad, āItās just that last night, I was a little thirsty, so when I woke up to drink some water, I heard a sound in your roomā¦ā
Hearing those words, Lin Jiageās heart jolted. Could it be that it was just as he thought, that he had called for help due to his high fever?
Lin Jiage tried his best to remain calm as he asked, āWhat was that sound?ā
Did he have to ask in such a detailed mannerā¦
He didnāt even think about Shi Yao at all, and his heart felt a little weak.
However, Shi Yao understood the logic of āIāve never eaten pork before, and Iāve never seen a pig runā.
Even though she rarely lied, she knew that since she was lying, she had to act more righteouslyā¦ with this thought in mind, Shi Yao tried her best to maintain her composure, she said, āItās just a coughā¦ a few timesā¦ā
Lin jiage secretly rejoiced, āI seeā¦ā
Perhaps it was because she was lying, but Shi Yao felt that these three words were a little strange. She discreetly gripped the chopsticks in her hand and rolled her eyes, then, she continued to spout nonsense, āThatās right, itās just like thatā¦ actually, I didnāt think too much into it in the beginning. It was only because you were injured that the doctor told me to keep an eye on you. For the sake of safety, I knocked on the door to ask if you were alright. However, after knocking for a long time, you didnāt respond. I thought that something had happened to you, so I pushed the door open and barged in. In the end, I realized that your temperature was really high, just like a piece of boiled beefā¦ā
Lin Jiage:āā¦āthis metaphor is very similar to Shi Yaoās.
From Shi Yaoās words, Lin Jiage was certain that he didnāt cry out for help last night, so he didnāt immerse himself in Shi Yaoās metaphor for too long, thus, he spoke up once more, āIn that case, I really have to thank you for last night. If you hadnāt paid more attention to me, I might still be running a high fever right now.ā
After hearing Lin Jiageās words, Shi Yao knew that she had managed to muddle through. āItās alright. I stayed behind to take care of you.ā
Lin Jiage didnāt say anything else. Instead, he picked up a piece of boiled meat for Shi Yao and gestured for her to eat while it was still hot.
āThank you,āShi Yao said softly before lowering her head to dig into her food.
Lin Jiage looked at Shi Yao, who was still eating, and calmed down. So, it was just a coughā¦ thank goodness, it wasnāt a bad imageā¦
When Lin jiage retracted his gaze and lowered his head to eat, Shi Yao discreetly lifted her eyelids and glanced at Lin jiage. Seeing that his expression was as calm as ever, she couldnāt help but sigh in relief, so, Lin Jiage is so gullibleā¦ fortunately, fortunately, I was just smart enoughā¦
After finishing her meal, Shi Yao tidied up the leftovers on the dining table and returned to school.
Leng Nuan, Jiang Yue, and he tiantian were all in the dormitory room. After entering, Shi Yao took the lead to take a look at Leng Nuan. Other than the bruise at the corner of her lips and the slight redness on her faceā¦, after regaining her usual calm and composed demeanor, she finally felt at ease.
Worried that something might happen to Lin Jiage at home, Shi Yao didnāt stay in the dormitory room for too long. Thus, she packed some clothes, grabbed her phone, and left the school.
After returning to Lin Jiageās home, the first thing Shi Yao did after changing her shoes was to run over to take a look at Lin Jiage.
Perhaps it was due to his fever from last night, but he hadnāt fully recovered yet. While she was away, he fell asleep on his bed once more.
