Chapter 243: You’re the One Treating, I’ll Listen to You (1)
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Milkbiscuit
You’re Soft Bun; whatever pleases you.
Lin Jiage replied, “Sure.”
A momentary pause later, Lin Jiage added, “Take a photo of the opposite street and send it to me.”
s.h.i.+ Yao: “Sure, no problem.”
Thirty seconds after hanging up, s.h.i.+ Yao sent him the photo.
Tapping on the photo to enlarge it, Lin Jiage noted that the focus of the photo was a restaurant.
“…” Really, is there only food in the eyes of a glutton? If stuck tidbits all over my body, would Soft Bun’s eyes remain completely fixated on me?
With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage enlarged the photo and finally saw a distinctive landmark in the background. This allowed him to roughly determine s.h.i.+ Yao’s current location.
In order to reach s.h.i.+ Yao, Lin Jiage would have to pa.s.s by the school. Thus, he pondered for a moment and decided to make a call to his home’s driver, instructing him to drive over to school and wait for him.
…
It was Sunday, and s.h.i.+ Yao wasn’t in an area where crowds tended to gather, so the traffic condition was quite smooth. About twenty minutes later, Lin Jiage arrived at the Yi Dian Dian branch which s.h.i.+ Yao had talked about.
Before stopping the car, he swiftly glanced out the window and caught sight of s.h.i.+ Yao’s silhouette.
She was still queuing up, and there was only one person left in front of her.
Lin Jiage smoothly parked his car by the side of the road. He picked up his phone before getting off the car, making his way towards s.h.i.+ Yao.
Just a moment after he arrived by her side, he heard her light and sweet voice, “Two cups of matcha milk tea with milk foam 1 .”
The cas.h.i.+er swiftly made the order for s.h.i.+ Yao before saying, “That will be 40 RMB.”
“Alright…” s.h.i.+ Yao replied as she looked down to grab her purse.
But before she could take it out, Lin Jiage had already removed a hundred yuan note from his pocket and pa.s.sed it over to the cas.h.i.+er, “Take mine.”
Stunned, s.h.i.+ Yao turned her head towards Lin Jiage and said, “But we agreed that I would treat you to milk tea…”
“It’s fine…” Lin Jiage replied casually as he took the change and receipt from the cas.h.i.+er and walked over to the collection counter.
s.h.i.+ Yao followed behind him.
Since it was only 40 RMB, s.h.i.+ Yao decided not to squabble with Lin Jiage over it. Nevertheless, she still said her thanks.
Lin Jiage didn’t respond to s.h.i.+ Yao’s thanks, but his eyes kept drifting over to her face as he silently a.s.sessed her expression.
She looked no different from normal. Her face which rarely had makeup on was clean as usual, and her eyes were also perfectly clear.
But if one were to look closely, it was obvious that there was a hint of dejection in between her brows.
In the end, it seems like the matter with Liang Mumu still affected her mood?
But that’s only to be expected… It’s easy to rationalize something internally, but it’s always hard to carry out in action. People always say that betrayals should be dealt with promptly and decisively, but when the deed is actually done, who can really avoid bleeding on the inside?
There were some memories that could only wear down through the pa.s.sage of time…
Not too long later, it was their turn to collect their drinks.
Lin Jiage took the milk tea and then led s.h.i.+ Yao to his car.
It was only after s.h.i.+ Yao finally fastened her seatbelt that Lin Jiage took out a cup, poked in a straw, and pa.s.sed it over to s.h.i.+ Yao. “What do you want to eat?”
Taking the milk tea, s.h.i.+ Yao said her thanks before returning the question, “Is there anything you prefer?”
Lin Jiage: “I’m fine with anything.”
He then paused for a moment before adding, “You’re the one treating, I’ll listen to you.”
“Alright then…” While biting on her straw and sipping her milk tea, s.h.i.+ Yao took out her phone and quickly browsed through the net. A moment later, she turned over and asked, “Shall we eat Szechuan cuisine 2 ?”
