Chapter 100: This Is Really Shortening My Life (2)

The moment his lips were just about to meet hers, he stopped.

He seemed to be struggling desperately with something, and many emotions flickered across his eyes. A long time later, he eventually decided against tainting her. He tilted his face away to create some distance between his lips and hers, held his breath in silence for a moment before he finally straightened his posture. He then switched off the lights, leaving only the night lights on before he walked away.

Since she was asleep, he was afraid that the sound of the hairdryer would wake her up, so he decided not to blow dry his hair.

He lay down on the sofa and fiddled inattentively with his phone for a moment before his gaze unwittingly turned back to her sleeping figure.

Staring and staring, he suddenly felt the urge to go back to the bathroom and take a cold shower…

This is really shortening my life…

I’ve never touched a woman before, so why can’t I control myself?

He suddenly felt that his decision to trap her within his room for the night was a particularly unwise move on his part, even if it did prevent her from going back to the school.

Lin Jiage forced himself to look away. He was deeply afraid that he’d really do something disrespectful to her at this rate. He sat on the sofa for a little while longer before he stood up and walked towards the balcony, his phone in hand.

The deep night beyond the room was incredibly silent.

As he leaned against the marbled railings of the balcony, he stared at the night sky and sighed deeply.

He was no stranger to the long night, but it looked like this night would be far more torturous and longer than the others…

…

The next day, s.h.i.+ Yao woke up naturally.

Opening her eyes, she stared at her foreign surroundings in confusion. It was a long moment before she remembered that she was in Lin Jiage’s bedroom.

A beat later, she realized that she was on Lin Jiage’s bed.

She stared dazedly at the ceiling for ten seconds before she tore away the blanket and leaped off the bed in a panic.

D-didn’t I fall asleep on the floor last night? H-how did I get on the bed?

s.h.i.+ Yao took a look at herself and confirmed that she was still wearing all her clothes. Then, she began scanning the bedroom.

The room was completely empty, with no signs of Lin Jiage to be seen.

There was a skirt placed next to the pillow she had slept on, and on the skirt were some basic morning toiletries. Those must have been prepared for her.

The bedroom door was ajar. Clearly, someone had already taken the key and opened it from the outside.

So… Lin Jiage is already gone?

After finally making sense of the situation, s.h.i.+ Yao grabbed the toiletries next to the pillow and entered the bathroom.

While she was brus.h.i.+ng her teeth, she stared at her reflection in the mirror and watched her eyes slowly widening.

Did Lin Jiage carry me to his bed last night?

s.h.i.+ Yao’s face turned red, and her heartbeat began leaping out of rhythm.

After gargling, s.h.i.+ Yao didn’t dare to continue remaining in Lin Jiage’s bedroom. Taking her stuff, she quickly fled downstairs.

In the living room, she saw Lin Jiage sitting on the sofa.

In that moment, she couldn’t help but wonder yet again whether he was the one who had carried her to the bed, and her face reddened once more. She awkwardly paused her footsteps and greeted him, “Morning.”

“Mor—” Before Lin Jiage could finish his greeting, a sneeze interrupted his sentence.

Surprised, s.h.i.+ Yao took a look at him and noticed that he was holding onto a box of tissues. There was a pile of discarded tissue papers on the table in front of him.

He… caught a cold?

Before s.h.i.+ Yao could say a word, Lin Jiage tossed away the tissue in his hand and stood up, “Let’s go. The driver has been waiting outside for some time now.”

Right after saying those words, he sneezed once more— “Ah-choo!”

They left the Lin Family Residence similar to how they walked in last night, with Lin Jiage walking in the front and s.h.i.+ Yao trailing behind.

However, this short journey was accompanied by a few additional sneezes this time around.
