Chapter 725: Star Fate Battle Team (1)
Seeing that Lin Jiage had remained silent for a long time, Shi Yao asked once more, “You didn’t make a wish, did you?”
“I did...”Lin Jiage snapped back to his senses. He was able to control the expression on his face so well that not a single hint of emotion could be seen. As he continued cutting the cake, he casually replied to Shi Yao’s question.
Shi Yao instinctively wanted to repeat what she had just asked him.
But just as the words reached the tip of her tongue, Lin Jiage unhurriedly spoke up once more, “But didn’t you say that wishes don’t come true?”
“You still believe in this?”Shi Yao was a little surprised. From what she remembered, Lin Jiage wasn’t someone who believed in these illusory things.
Lin jiage replied with a soft “Un”before placing a piece of cake in front of Shi Yao.
Letter.
It wasn’t because of how much he relied on such words.
It was because his wishes were related to her. Even if he knew that they were illusory, he was still willing to abide by them.
..
After eating the cake, it was already quite late, so Shi Yao naturally asked to leave.
Lin Jiage had drunk some alcohol, so he couldn’t drive, so he called a taxi to take Shi Yao back to her school.
The car stopped at the school entrance, but Lin Jiage didn’t get out of the car. Shi Yao first said, “I’ll be leaving first.”Then, she pushed the car door open.
Just as she bent down to get out of the car and was about to close the door, Lin Jiage, who was sitting in the car, suddenly called out to her, “Yaoyao.”
Shi Yao bent down and tilted her head over to look at Lin Jiage in the back seat.
His eyes were very bright, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile hidden in his eyes, as if he was very happy.
Shi Yao’s heart suddenly trembled under Lin Jiage’s gaze, and it felt as if an electric current had struck her entire body. Her entire body felt numb, and her lips, which had been about to reply to him with a “HMM?”, suddenly stopped moving.
Lin jiage stared at her face for a moment before saying softly, “Take it easy on the way back to the dormitory room.”
Hearing Lin Jiage’s words, Shi Yao swiftly snapped back to her senses. She swiftly replied with a ‘un’before waving her hand impatiently at Lin Jiage. After which, she closed the car door and rushed back to the campus.
On the way back, Shi Yao could clearly hear her heart beating.
Thump, thump, thump... Every beat was powerful and clear.
..
After watching Shi Yao disappear from the school gates, Lin Jiage turned to the driver and said calmly, “Return it to where you were earlier.”
“Alright,”the driver replied before stepping on the accelerator.
The reason why he called out to her earlier was to tell her that he was very happy, very happy that she remembered his birthday and came to celebrate it with him.
However, the words that were about to come out of his mouth were forcefully suppressed by him.
It was better not to express some of his emotions too clearly, so as to avoid being too rash and scaring her.
After all, he was not sure what she was thinking about him in the bottom of her heart. What if what she did today was done in a situation that even he did not understand. When he said this, it would scare her and not only did she not face it, instead, she started to run away. Wouldn’t that be even worse?
But for her, he really sacrificed not too much... now, not only was he beaten up by his grandfather and chased out of the house, if he couldn’t catch up to her after a long time, and he couldn’t hand over a pregnant girl to the family.., when that time came, the lie would be exposed. If his grandfather knew that he lied to the world to break off the engagement and lost his favorite granddaughter-in-law, he would probably beat him up again, right?
