Under the lighting of the room, Shi Yao could clearly see a tinge of red appearing on Lin Jiage’s fair complexion.
Lin Jiage’s face actually turned red while replying to a message?
Shi Yao thought that she might be seeing things, so she blinked her eyes forcefully a few times, only to realize that the redness had spread to Lin Jiage’s ears.
She hadn’t been too interested in Lin Jiage’s message before this, but after seeing his odd reaction, her curiosity was piqued.
Just who was it that messaged him and what did they say to make Lin Jiage blush like that?
A short moment later, Lin Jiage’s phone rang once more.
Different from before, it wasn’t the ringtone for a notification update but a call.
He picked up the call right away, not bothering to leave the room for some privacy.
It was unclear what the person on the other end of the phone was telling him, but Lin Jiage’s attitude was neither warm nor cold. He only replied perfunctorily with an
Un
and an
Ah
from time to time.
After hanging up, he got to his feet and turned to Grandpa Lin—who was still in the middle of eating his medicine—and said,
Grandfather, Liang Jiusi just called. He invited me to hang out.
After which, he turned to Auntie Sun and said,
Auntie Sun, I’ll be leaving Grandfather to you for the time being. I’ll be back later tonight.
Shi Yao knew who Liang Jiusi was, but she wasn’t too close to him.
He was Liang Mumu’s cousin, as well as Lin Jiage’s childhood friend. Not too long ago, when she met Lin Jiage in SKP’s elevator, he was part of the group that was with Lin Jiage.
Naturally, Grandpa Lin also knew who Liang Jiusi was, and he didn’t stop Lin Jiage from leaving either. But just as Lin Jiage reached the door of the ward, Grandpa Lin suddenly seemed to have thought of something and shouted,
Wait a moment, bring Yaoyao along with you!
Lin Jiage and Shi Yao, who suddenly found herself dragged into this for no reason, turned to Grandpa Lin with question marks in their eyes.
One of them was thinking that he’d misheard him.
The other one was fervently wishing that she didn’t have to go.
But Grandpa Lin didn’t think that there was any problem with what he’d said, so he casually continued,
It’s the weekend, and Yaoyao doesn’t have any lessons tomorrow. It will be boring for her to accompany me by herself. Since you’re going out to have fun, you should just bring her along with you.
Lin Jiage silently frowned.
Shi Yao tried to object,
Grandpa Lin, I was planning to go home later to watch my drama, so—
You can watch your drama anytime you want, you don’t necessarily have to do it today. Since it’s the holiday, you should go out and have fun. Besides, Yaoyao, I heard that that brat, Liang Jiusi, is quite a gourmet himself. There’s bound to be a lot of good food at his gatherings…
A lot of good food…
Shi Yao, who was still searching for an excuse to politely reject Grandpa Lin, suddenly found herself unable to say a word.
Seeing that neither of them was speaking up, Grandpa Lin unashamedly made the decision in their place.
Alright, go ahead and have fun.
Without wasting any time, Lin Jiage pushed open the door of the ward and left.
After he left, Grandpa Lin suddenly said,
Right. Auntie Sun, give a call to the driver. Tell him to wait at the entrance after dropping them off so that he can send them back when they’re done.
…
After Lin Jiage and Shi Yao left the room, Grandpa Lin, who had been bedridden in their presence, suddenly leaped out of his bed energetically and rubbed his waist as he walked around the room.
While he walked about to stretch his stiff limbs, he glanced at Auntie Sun and boasted gleefully,
Auntie Sun, don’t you think that I’m very smart?
