After saying those words, Lin Jiage shot an inconspicuous glance at his grandfather.
As he had expected, his grandfather's expression swiftly reverted back to a doting smile. "That child is Jiage and Yaoyao's friend? To think of delivering food to our Yaoyao whenever he could, he must be a really good friend of yours. If there's time, do bring him over to our house. It's only right for you all to take good care of students from the other provinces…"
Lin Jiage replied to his grandfather's words with an "Mm".
Of course, he also didn't forget to shift his gaze towards Liang Mumu.
At this point, the smile on her face suddenly became a little forced...
Of course, how could it not be forced? After all the acting she had done, her efforts were rendered futile with a single sentence from him...
But she does deserve it... Soft Bun might seem docile and easy to bully, but if anyone dares to do so... Hehe 1 , see if I, Lin Jiage, will allow it or not!
We're in a perfectly fine ward, but someone just had to fill it with toxic fumes that were more fearsome than the worst smog in Beijing.
Looks like I definitely need to drag that dull lass out of here to cleanse her lungs...
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage straightened up his posture and said, "Grandpa, it's getting late. I still have an appointment with my classmates, so I'll be leaving first."
"Sure, you can leave." Grandpa Lin waved his hands impatiently, as if he couldn't wait for Lin Jiage to leave the room.
Lin Jiage's mouth twitched slightly, and he headed towards the door without saying a word.
As he walked by Shi Yao, he reached out to grab her arm and pulled her out from Liang Mumu's embrace. "It's convenient for me, so I can bring you to school."
Lin JIage didn't loosen his grip on Shi Yao's arm, so she stumbled along behind him as he dragged her to the door.
She could only turn around to bid Grandpa Lin farewell. After that, her gaze fell on Liang Mumu's face, and she fell silent for a brief moment. Eventually, she waved her hand and said, "See you, Mumu."
See you? See what you? Just because I thought that you're a dull lass doesn't mean that you should really become one!
Liang Mumu didn't even have time to respond to Shi Yao before Lin Jiage dragged her out of the ward. The door closed between them, severing their sight of one another.
The driver was already waiting at the hospital's entrance.
Lin Jiage stuffed Shi Yao into the car before he finally released his grip.
The driver fastened his seatbelt and asked, "Young Master, are we heading to the school?"
Lin Jiage replied with an "Mm".
The car began moving, and not too long after setting off— 'ding dong!' —Shi Yao's phone rang once more.
Did that Han Jing fellow send her another message?
Lin Jiage quickly sat up straight as he sneaked a wary glance towards Shi Yao.
Under his gaze, the young lady took out her phone, unlocked the screen, and tapped into the Messages icon.
It really was a message from that Han Jing guy! There were quite a few lines of words on the screen, but with his astonishingly sharp vision, he managed to read the whole message clearly.
[When are you coming back? The specialties can't be left overnight, or else they'll go bad. My mom had to pack a lot of ice bags to preserve them, so you should eat it all by tonight.]
Shi Yao swiftly moved her fingertips: [I should be able to reach the school within an hour.]
Senior Han: [Alright. Message me when you get here, I'll send it over to you.]
Lin Jiage didn't look at the subsequent replies Shi Yao sent back.
He turned to look out the window and watched the streets passing by. After a while, a glint flickered in his eyes as he said, "Let's stop by the old residence first."
In Chinese, "hehe" is usually used in a sarcastic way, somewhat like a dry laughter.
