However, before she could even cover two meters, she found that her arm was already being grabbed by Lin Jiage.

“Y-y-you—” Before s.h.i.+ Yao could finish her words, Lin Jiage had already interjected. “You can take the car to school. I’ll walk.”

Startled, s.h.i.+ Yao froze for two seconds before she raised her head to look at Lin Jiage.

The young man’s expression still looked as awful as before, but his tone was devoid of any anger or displeasure. If she really had to find some adjectives to describe his tone, they would be… dejection and helplessness?

Why would he sound like that?

While s.h.i.+ Yao was still in a daze, Lin Jiage was already escorting her to the car. He walked to the front and told the driver, “Bring her to school safely. Don’t forget the cake in the trunk; make sure to hand it over to her when you arrive.”

Driver: “Yes, Young Master.”

Without another word, Lin Jiage opened the car door and stuffed s.h.i.+ Yao in.

In the moment that he shut the doors, he suddenly recalled something. Resting an arm on the car roof while holding the car door with his other hand, he leaned forward slightly and stared at s.h.i.+ Yao before asking, “Are you very close with Liang Jiusi’s cousin?”

Lin Jiage had no idea how alluring his current actions looked to other people.

s.h.i.+ Yao felt as if there was a little deer housed within her heart, cras.h.i.+ng around cluelessly. She gulped down a mouthful of saliva, but no matter how much she tried, she was unable to calm down that little deer.

Lin Jiage a.s.sumed that she didn’t know who Liang Jiusi was, so he continued, “Liang Jiusi’s cousin is that little lady who lives next door to me. Her name is Liang…”

Lin Jiage shot a sideways glance at the driver, and the driver quickly added on, “… Mumu, Miss Liang Mumu.”

“Yes, right. That’s her…” Nodding, Lin Jiage turned his gaze back to s.h.i.+ Yao and asked, “… Are the two of you very close to each other?”

s.h.i.+ Yao strenuously tamed the wild little deer in her heart as she replied, “Mm, we’re quite close. Whenever she has any good food, she’ll offer me a portion of it.”

Young lady… Is that how you decide the closeness of your relations.h.i.+ps?

Lin Jiage fell silent for a brief moment before he moved his lips once more, “About that…”

But after barely speaking those two words, he suddenly paused.

s.h.i.+ Yao raised her head and looked at him, “What’s wrong?”

Lin Jiage didn’t respond.

s.h.i.+ Yao waited for a moment before asking quizzically, “Lin Jiage?”

Lin Jiage finally recovered from his absentmindedness. He quickly replied with a “Never mind” before closing the doors. After which, he took two steps back and signaled for the driver to leave.

As the car started to move away, s.h.i.+ Yao peered through the windows to look at Lin Jiage, who was still standing by the roadside.

The young man had sneezed yet again, so he was currently wiping his nose with a tissue he took from his pocket.

Being good-looking sure had its benefits. Even an inelegant action like that looked like a beautiful picture when he was the one doing it…

After sighing deeply, s.h.i.+ Yao’s attention was drawn back to Lin Jiage’s previous question: ‘Are you very close with Liang Jiusi’s cousin?’

She lowered her gaze contemplatively.

Even though he eventually decided not to speak, she had a rough idea of what he was about to say.

But why would he suddenly stop halfway through his words?

s.h.i.+ Yao could vaguely understand the reason why he stopped, but she couldn’t be too certain of it. Or, to be more exact, she didn’t think that such a thing was possible.

How could he be kind-hearted enough to warn her about Liang Mumu?

He and Liang Jiusi were brothers who had grown up together, and Liang Mumu was his neighbor. From a very young age, Liang Mumu had been following the two of them around…

No matter how she thought about it, it didn’t seem likely that he would side with her…

…

How strange. He was clearly about to tell her not to hang out with Liang Jiusi’s cousin, but…
