â Pft ââ Someone burst into laughter behind her.
What was wrong with the table behind her? Couldnât they just eat in silence?
However, Shi Yao wasnât too affected by that tableâs occupants. This was because right after sheâd said those words, Han Jingâs expression had become a little unreadable.
She knew that it was wrong of her to be thinking about food at this moment, but it would be shameless of them to waste precious food!
Thus, Shi Yao bit her lips and continued, âSenior Han, there is still a lot of food that we havenât eaten yet. It would be a pity to waste them.â
âThatâ¦â
Shi Yao pondered for a momentâit seemed like in the dramas, whenever a person confessed to another and was rejected, one side would always leave right after.
Most of the time, the one who rejected the confession would leave first, but she really couldnât bear to abandon this table of foodâ¦
Thus, Shi Yao continued, ââ¦If you still have something to attend to, you can leave first. Iâll leave by myself after finishing the food.â
This was too perfect! She managed to give Senior Han an excuse to back out of this awkward situation without wasting any food at all!
Han Jing was initially feeling rather disappointed and miserable from Shi Yaoâs rejection, but upon seeing this sight, he couldnât help but smile.
She was always this adorable, so adorable that⦠you just couldnât get angry with her.
Han Jing lowered his gaze to conceal the disappointment in his eyes, and trying his best to make his tone more casual, he replied, âIâm fine, so feel free to continue eating. I donât mind waiting for you. Itâs already late at night, so it wonât be safe for you to return to the campus alone. Iâll bring you back.â
After which, Han Jing paused for a moment. Seemingly worried that Shi Yao would feel uneasy eating with him, he continued, âShi Yao, even though you rejected me, weâre still friends, right?â
Shi Yao nodded with a smile. âOf course.â
Han Jing picked up his chopsticks and pinched out a slice of fish for Shi Yao. âAlright, letâs eat.â
Shi Yao began moving her chopsticks once more.
A moment later, it suddenly dawned on Shi Yao that Senior Han might have planned to treat her to this meal because heâd intended to confess to her. Since she had rejected him, there should be no reason for him to treat her. Thus, she raised her head, looked at the unmoving Han Jing, and said, âSenior Han, you should eat too. Allow me to treat you to this meal.â
â¦
Halfway through the dinner, Shi Yaoâs phone rang.
While fishing out her phone, she didnât forget to stuff a huge slice of fish into her mouth.
Taking a look at the screen, she noted that someone had sent her a message. After tapping in, her chewing motion came to an abrupt halt.
T-to think that it was a message from Lin Jiageâ¦
Shi Yao paused for a second before tapping on Lin Jiageâs name.
[Grandfatherâs condition suddenly got worse, and heâs been calling your name for some time now. He wishes to see you.]
So he was contacting her because of Grandpa Lin⦠Shi Yao quickly typed out a reply: [How is Grandpa Lin doing at the moment?]
Perhaps Lin Jiage was still on his phone because he replied to her instantaneously. However, rather than answer her question, he asked one of his own instead: [Where are you at the moment? Iâll have our driver pick you up.]
Without giving it much thought, Shi Yao sent over her current GPS location.
Shortly after the message had been confirmed as read, another message appeared on the screen: [Is it convenient?]
After receiving her location, he was only asking whether it was convenient or not?
With such thoughts in mind, Shi Yao replied with two words: [Itâs convenient.]
