Chapter 744: Where Are You Sleeping? (2)
Shi Yao didn’t pay much attention to it, so she quickly picked up the call. It was only when Lin Jiage’s handsome face appeared on her screen that she realized that he had switched to another video call.
Shi Yao opened her mouth, wanting to ask Lin Jiage why he had switched to another video call, but in the end, Lin Jiage’s lips had already moved, “I’m really alone at home... If You Don’t believe me, I’ll show you...”
As he spoke, he turned the camera on his phone around.
He showed Shi Yao Room after room, and he even showed her the bathrooms, changing rooms, closets, and toilets..
Toilets... Shi Yao suddenly recalled that ever since she came down from Changming mountain the first time, he had ignored her. When she was asked by her mother to deliver eggs to his house, his door was locked from the inside, and Lin Jiayi kicked it open, when she had searched the entire house for him, she had also searched the toilet... were they really a family!
Recalling this small matter, Shi Yao couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Hearing her laughter, Lin Jiage switched the camera from the toilet to his own face, “Yaoyao, I’m not lying to you, am I? I’m really alone...”
But before he could finish his words, he suddenly stopped.
In just three short seconds, he frowned and asked,”... Yaoyao, why are you still outside so late at night?”
“I...”Before Shi Yao called Lin Jiage, she was already in a very low mood. Even though she hadn’t chatted with him for too long, she didn’t feel as depressed as before. However, after hearing his question.., she couldn’t help but think of her parents again. After saying a single word, she was at a loss for words. In the end, she smiled at the phone screen and pretended as if nothing had happened, she continued,”... I’m just out for a walk...”
Lin Jiage didn’t say anything, but his gaze was fixated on her through the phone.
Shi Yao felt a little guilty under his gaze, and she subconsciously lowered her eyelids.
But even so, Lin jiage could still sense that something was amiss. “Yaoyao, did something happen?”
“No...”Shi Yao hurriedly shook her head.
It would have been fine if he hadn’t asked her that, but the moment he did, she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.
Her biological parents were arguing so passionately that they didn’t notice her sadness when she left. But now, a person who wasn’t related to her by blood could easily sense the change in her emotions through the phone, just like that, she could feel the change in her emotions through the phone.
Tears welled up in Shi Yao’s eyes, and she didn’t dare to raise her head anymore. “I’m really fine...”
Lin Jiage didn’t say a word. He simply stared at her surroundings through the phone.
As the sky was too dark, there were many places that he couldn’t see clearly. However, behind her right ear, he caught the word ‘hospital’.
His entire body suddenly tensed up, “Yaoyao, why are you in the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?”
Shi Yao’s fingers subconsciously gripped her phone tightly, “It’s not me, it’s My Dad...”
After a brief pause, Shi Yao didn’t wait for Lin Jiage to speak before continuing,”... Well, it’s getting late. You should get some rest. I’m hanging up...”
Then, without looking up, Shi Yao pressed the hang-up button.
The phone screen was very quiet, and Lin Jiage didn’t call her again.
She could not tell whether she was disappointed or relieved, and continued to sit quietly outside in the late autumn.
