Without saying a word, Lin Jiage opened the door and got down from the car.
s.h.i.+ Yao quickly followed suit, but she didn’t forget to direct a polite “Thank you” to the driver.
The driver embarra.s.sedly replied with a “You’re welcome” before he stepped on the gas pedal and left.
Was it his imagination? Why did it feel like after more than a decade of serving as the Lin Family’s driver, the difficulty of his job seemed to be escalating?
Lin Jiage input “666666” into the digital lock at the entrance, and the door opened. He walked in, but it didn’t take long for him to realize that s.h.i.+ Yao wasn’t tagging along with him. So, he turned around to look at her.
Meeting Lin Jiage’s gaze, s.h.i.+ Yao thought quickly and determined that this was a necessary occasion for her to speak, so she said, “I’ll wait here for you.”
Lin Jiage’s eyes seemed to become even more wintry after she said those words. However, he still spoke in a relatively composed tone, “I’m going to take a bath, so it might take a while. It’d be better if you waited inside…”
Hearing his explanation, s.h.i.+ Yao stepped through the door. However, after thinking it over once more, she said, “Why don’t I just take the cake first and leave? You can head to school after your shower. It doesn’t seem appropriate for us to share a car. If someone were to see us at the school entrance—”
“I didn’t bring my wallet,” Lin Jiage interjected before s.h.i.+ Yao could finish her sentence.
Afterward, he seemed to quicken his steps, lengthening the distance between them.
s.h.i.+ Yao was about to say that she could pa.s.s him some money, but just as her mouth was forming the words, she suddenly remembered how she overspent on tidbits while shopping on Taobao 1 , and she only had 100 RMB on her at the moment…
She had no money to give him even if she wanted to…
Thus, she had no choice but to quietly follow Lin Jiage into the residence.
Lin Jiage simply walked ahead, paying no heed to her at all. Luckily, she had been to the Lin Family Residence before, and there was a pair of slippers prepared solely for her use on the shoe rack. After swiftly switching her footwear, she headed into the living room.
Lin Jiage, who had entered the house ahead of her, happened to walk out from the kitchen at this moment with a cup of hot cocoa in his hand.
He walked up to her and pa.s.sed the hot cocoa over, “Drink this for the time being. I’m going to take a bath…”
s.h.i.+ Yao replied with an “mm” as she reached out to grab it. However, perhaps it was because his hand shook or due to a mistake in how she received it, the hot cocoa ended up spilling on her.
It was fortunate that the cocoa wasn’t too hot, so it didn’t scald her. It was just that, her clothes…
s.h.i.+ Yao lowered her head to look at the large stain right on her chest, an expression of distress crossing her face.
How was she going to return to school like this?
Standing in front of her, Lin Jiage uttered a “Sorry”, and knowing what she was troubled over, he pointed to the second floor and said, “You should take a bath first. I’ll help you choose some suitable clothes from my sister’s room.”
It seemed like this was the only choice she could take at the moment… Replying with an “Mm”, she followed Lin Jiage up the stairs.
Lin Jiage pushed open the door to his bedroom before turning around to face s.h.i.+ Yao, “Go wait in there for a second.”
After which, he headed into the changing room.
s.h.i.+ Yao stood outside Lin Jiage’s bedroom for a moment before finally stepping inside.
This was her first time seeing his bedroom. Its size was much larger than her own bedroom, and so was the bed as well. There was a closet filled with all kinds of medals and trophies.
Taking a closer look, they were all related to Math… It seemed like those rumors were true. He really was a top student…
