The Beautiful Time With You

Chapter 750: I’ll See You Tonight (2)

Liang Xiao... hearing those two words, Shi Yao subconsciously pricked up her ears. Without even drinking a drop of water, she concentrated on eavesdropping on Lin Jiage’s phone call.

It seemed like Lin Jiage’s back was facing Shi Yao, so he couldn’t see her at all. In truth, he was silently sizing her up through a mirror not too far away.

When he noticed the tense expression on Shi Yao’s face, the corners of Lin Jiage’s lips couldn’t help but curl up into a smile. After hearing Liang Xiao’s words, he intentionally conveyed the meaning behind her words.., to the girl behind him, he asked, “Do I Have Time Tonight?”

Lin Jiage’s attention had been fixated on Shi Yao the entire time. Through the mirror, he saw Shi Yao turning her head to glance at him. After which, he slowly adjusted his speed and replied to Liang Xiao, “I think so. What’s Wrong?”

As his voice fell, Lin Jiage noticed a slight frown on Shi Yao’s forehead, as if she was dissatisfied with his reply.

However, he was very pleased with her reaction. In order to prevent himself from revealing any flaws, he forcefully suppressed the curvature of his lips, and just like before, he intentionally repeated Liang Xiao’s words, after which, he replied to her, “Eat? Sure...”

Shi Yao’s hand trembled, and half of the water in the cup spilled out.

Hearing the commotion, Lin jiage pretended to be oblivious to it as he turned his head to look at Shi Yao.

Meeting his inquisitive gaze, Shi Yao pretended to be calm as she waved her hand casually. Placing the cup gently on the table, she took out two pieces of tissue paper and calmly wiped the water off her wrist.

Seeing that Shi Yao seemed to be fine, Lin Jiage pretended not to see anything either, he continued speaking into his phone, “What Time Is it tonight? 6:30? Sure, no problem... Oh, right, who’s there?”

Lin Jiage intentionally paused for a moment before continuing, “Just You and Me?”

To Liang Xiao, who had been silent the entire time, what he had said just now was a perfectly ordinary question. who was there for dinner? Was it just the two of us?

But to Shi Yao, the pause between his words was as if Liang Xiao had replied to his words, saying that there were only the two of them, and he had only repeated her words once..

As expected, just as Lin Jiage finished his words, a loud ‘pa’sounded from behind him.

He turned around and saw that the tissue box had been knocked to the ground by Shi Yao.

Liang Xiao, who had been wondering who was going to eat tonight, heard the sound and asked, “What’s Wrong?”

Lin jiage replied nonchalantly, “Nothing much. I accidentally knocked over something... If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first...”

After Liang Xiao Hung up, Lin jiage glanced at Shi Yao, who was squatting on the ground picking up the tissue box, and turned to the busy tone in his earpiece and said, “UN, alright. I’ll See You Tonight...”

Yet another ‘Pa’sounded.

The tissue box that Shi Yao had just picked up fell heavily onto the floor once more.

The tissue box was made of a unique material. It was neither plastic nor porcelain, so it was quite resistant to collisions. However, after landing on the floor twice in a row, it shattered into pieces.

Shi Yao stared at the torn tissue box in frustration for quite some time before raising her head to look at Lin Jiage, who was walking over after putting away his phone, and saying, “I-I didn’t do it on purpose...”
