Chapter 560 - Wrong Room, Wrong Bed (2)

Shi Yao, who rarely lied, put in a lot of effort to find an excuse that she thought wasn’t too bad, “It’s just that last night, I was a little thirsty, so when I woke up to drink some water, I heard a sound in your room...”

Hearing those words, Lin Jiage’s 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, “What was that sound?”

Did he have to ask in such a detailed manner..

He didn’t even think about Shi Yao at all, and his heart felt a little weak.

However, Shi Yao understood the logic of ‘I’ve never eaten pork before, and I’ve never seen a pig run’.

Even though she rarely lied, she knew that since she was lying, she had to act more righteously... with this thought in mind, Shi Yao tried her best to maintain her composure, she said, “It’s just a cough... a few times...”

Lin jiage secretly rejoiced, “I see...”

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, “That’s right, it’s just like that... actually, I didn’t 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 didn’t 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 beef...”

Boiled beef slices..

Lin Jiage:”...”this metaphor is very similar to Shi Yao’s.

From Shi Yao’s words, Lin Jiage was certain that he didn’t cry out for help last night, so he didn’t immerse himself in Shi Yao’s metaphor for too long, thus, he spoke up once more, “In that case, I really have to thank you for last night. If you hadn’t paid more attention to me, I might still be running a high fever right now.”

After hearing Lin Jiage’s words, Shi Yao knew that she had managed to muddle through. “It’s alright. I stayed behind to take care of you.”

Lin Jiage didn’t 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.

“Thank you,”Shi 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 cough... thank goodness, it wasn’t a bad image..

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 couldn’t help but sigh in relief, so, Lin Jiage is so gullible... fortunately, fortunately, I was just smart enough..

..

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 face.., 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 didn’t stay in the dormitory room for too long. Thus, she packed some clothes, grabbed her phone, and left the school.

After returning to Lin Jiage’s 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 hadn’t fully recovered yet. While she was away, he fell asleep on his bed once more.
