Was he here to watch the match, just like her?
It took a mere second for s.h.i.+ Yao to recall the kiss at Golden Resplendence, and she immediately darted back to the female restroom at lightning speed.
When she finally emerged from the restroom again, she carefully examined her surroundings to make sure that Lin Jiage was nowhere in sight before she hurriedly left.
As s.h.i.+ Yao had spent quite some time in the restroom, by the time she left the event venue, the crowd had pretty much scattered.
There was no direct bus leading from the venue to s.h.i.+ Yao’s campus, so she intended to hail a cab at the bus stop. At that moment, someone suddenly called her name, “s.h.i.+ Yao.”
Turning around, s.h.i.+ Yao saw Han Jing walking towards her.
In G University, Han Jing could be considered as a close schoolmate to s.h.i.+ Yao.
He came from the same town as He Tiantian, and it was also through He Tiantian that the two of them became acquainted with one another.
He was a third-year Art Faculty student, and if she remembered correctly, he was Belle Qin Yiran’s cla.s.smate as well.
As Han Jing approached, s.h.i.+ Yao said with a smile, “Senior Han, why are you here?”
“I came here to watch the match. Were you here for the same reason?”
“Yeah, I came here to watch Legend.”
Smiling, Han Jing glanced at the direction s.h.i.+ Yao was about to head to and asked, “Are you going back to the campus?”
s.h.i.+ Yao nodded, “That’s right.”
“Do you want to get some dinner first?” After saying those words, Han Jing paused for a moment before continuing, “There’s an old shop that serves a great fish dish.”
It wasn’t as if s.h.i.+ Yao had never eaten with Han Jing at school, so after a moment of thought, she eventually nodded. “Alright.”
…
Leaving the underground carpark, just as the car was about to make a turn to the main road, Lin Jiage, who was seated at the backseat, glanced out of the window and saw s.h.i.+ Yao standing by the side of the road.
What’s she doing here?
Before Lin Jiage could give this question any thought, a deep frown appeared on his forehead.
There was a man standing in front of her.
He didn’t know what they were chatting about, but her eyes had curled into a smile, and she nodded. A moment later, she began walking away side by side with the man.
Lin Jiage unconsciously reached for the door handle and pulled it.
It was only when he opened the door by a slit that he realized that the car was still moving, so he hurriedly exclaimed, “Stop the car!”
“What’s wrong?”
The vehicle came to a halt. Ignoring the questions from the others in the car, he left behind a “You can leave first” and alighted from the car before rus.h.i.+ng in the direction s.h.i.+ Yao had been heading to.
s.h.i.+ Yao and the man entered a shop that specialized in preparing fish.
The renovations within the shop were rather exquisite. There were a couple of tall, lush plants between each of the tables that served as part.i.tions. While the effect wasn’t as p.r.o.nounced as a compartment room, it did provide the diners with some privacy and ease.
It was only when s.h.i.+ Yao and the man got to their seat that Lin Jiage finally responded to the waitress attending to him. Under the lead of the waitress, he chose a table right behind s.h.i.+ Yao to settle down.
He had been blessed with a sharp ear from a young age, so even though the voices of the two people behind him weren’t particularly loud, he could still hear each word clearly.
When the attendant walked up to deliver a menu to him, he didn’t bother looking at it and repeated s.h.i.+ Yao’s order straight.
This restaurant was rather efficient in serving their dishes.
Lin Jiage tore off the cover of the wooden chopsticks, and just as he was about to eat, the man behind him suddenly said, “s.h.i.+ Yao, there are bones in the fish. Be careful when you eat it.”
Lin Jiage instinctively turned his head around, but he only saw lush, green leaves.
