Grandpa Lin took a deep breath to calm himself first before he began organizing his disorderly thoughts. "Yaoyao, you are saying that I was in a critical condition yesterday, and I kept calling your name, wanting to meet you?"
"That's right…" Shi Yao nodded. After a moment of thought, she added, "... Lin Jiage sent me a message to inform me so."
Soft Bun, will you die if you don't add in those words at the end?
Are you trying to murder your husband over here... Ah no, it should still be fiancé!
In this instant, Lin Jiage really felt as if he had been paired with a pig of a teammate. Not only was his teammate contributing nothing at all, it was almost as if she was trying to sabotage him at every turn!
"Lin Jiage?" Grandpa Lin repeated his grandson's name questioningly before slowly turning his gaze to the person in question.
Meeting Grandpa Lin's eyes, Lin Jiage felt a jolt in his temples.
However, in view that he was already halfway through the deed, he decisively made up his mind to go all the way through with it. So, he hardened his resolve and faced Grandpa Lin's gaze straight on before replying, "Grandpa, have you forgotten the matter? You were the one who made me call Yaoyao to get her over."
"When did I make you call—"
But before Grandpa Lin could finish his words, Lin Jiage had already blinked his eyes in shock and interrupted, "Grandpa, don't tell me that you really forgot about the matter? I came to the hospital last night to accompany you for dinner, but your blood pressure suddenly became unstable. You were delirious, and you kept calling Yaoyao's name non-stop…"
Nonsense!
That's utter nonsense!
It has been an entire week since that brat last visited me, so how could we possibly have had dinner together last night?
Furthermore, my blood pressure became unstable, and I was delirious?
You're the one whose blood pressure is unstable and acted all delirious, your whole family's blood pressure is unstable and acted all delirious!
"You-you-you—" Seething with fury, Grandpa Lin nearly leaped right down the bed to teach Lin Jiage a lesson.
In the face of Grandpa Lin's rage, Lin Jiage simply stood composedly on the spot, and with a voice that was innocent as it could get, he spoke, "Grandpa, you must think harder. Otherwise, you'll really be putting me on the spot…"
As if you aren't putting me on the spot!
"You-you-you-you-you-you—" Grandpa Lin wagged a finger at Lin Jiage furiously, his face flushed crimson with rage.
Just before Grandpa Lin could finish his sentence, Lin Jiage had already continued on with a leisurely and confident tone, "... It'll make it seem as though I have been lying to Yaoyao…"
As if a paused video, Grandpa Lin abruptly froze upon hearing those words.
He had no idea why Lin Jiage was pushing this matter upon him.
But if he exposed Lin Jiage right here, Yaoyao would know that Lin Jiage had been lying to her... Considering how their relationship was already on the rocks, if this brat were to be caught lying at this crucial moment, wouldn't that mean that...
Grandpa Lin took in a deep breath, and as if one wasn't enough, he took in yet another deep breath before he managed to plaster a smile on his face. "You-you-you-you-you-you— If you hadn't brought it up, it might have just slipped my mind!"
Then, Grandpa Lin turned to Shi Yao and explained, "Yaoyao, I'm already old, and my memory isn't as good as it is. The fever yesterday really got to me, and I'm still feeling a little light-headed at the moment... Hai, the matter is like this. Auntie Sun just baked a cake yesterday, and knowing that you would surely enjoy having some too, I wanted them to deliver it to you. But due to the illness getting to me, I didn't manage to finish what I wanted to say…"
Since you're the one who started this game, don't blame Grandpa for returning the favor to you!
In any case, I don't have any cake to give to Yaoyao. Go and think of a solution to the problem yourself...
With such thoughts in mind, Grandpa Lin turned to Lin Jiage and said, "The cake should be in the refrigerator at home. Aren't you studying in the same school as Yaoyao? Take a trip home later to pick it up and send it over to Yaoyao's dormitory room."
Lin Jiage glanced at his grandfather before replying with an " Orh 1 ".
Orh is a response that is rather similar to 'got it'.
