Chapter 102: She Sure Can Eat (2)

Translator: StarveCleric  Editor: Milkbiscuit

It took a long time before Lin Jiage could finally figure out what he wanted to say: She sure can eat!!

For a man like him to have less of an appetite than her, how embarrassing!

After having her fill, Shi Yao noticed that Lin Jiage was staring at the three bowls in front of her; he hadn’t moved his spoon at all. Not finding any fault in herself, she went ahead and asked, “Are you full?”

Actually, I’m not full yet. It’s just that my head is spinning way too much, and it’s making me lose my appetite… Lin Jiage replied with a brief “Mm”.

One, two three, four… He actually left six wontons uneaten! So much wasted! What a pity!

Shi Yao stared at Lin Jiage’s unfinished bowl of wontons and hesitated for a moment before calling for the store owner, “Boss, the bill!”

Young lady, what are you looking at? Don’t tell me that you’re not full even after eating three huge bowls of wontons? Are you planning on stealing my unfinished bowl for yourself too…

Lin Jiage was honestly scared that Shi Yao would suddenly reach out and take his bowl away, so he discreetly reached out and slowly dragged the bowl closer to himself. He only released his hand after the boss arrived and gave them the total, but only so that he could find some loose change in his pockets.

Shi Yao also reached for her pockets at this moment, “Allow me—”

However, Lin Jiage was the first to place his money in the boss’s hand. Turning to Shi Yao, he said, “I don’t plan on becoming a gigolo.”

Gigolo… Isn’t that what people call a man who gets paid to be a woman’s lover or escort?

H-he’s thinking of himself as a gigolo?

The gaze which Shi Yao directed towards Lin Jiage was turning a little strange.

Meeting her gaze, Lin Jiage was slightly stunned. It took him a while before it struck him that he’d used the wrong phrase earlier.

What is wrong with me?! I keep saying the wrong thing ever since she saw that erotic magazine…

Lin Jiage rubbed his aching temples before adding, “What I meant was that I’m not in the habit of having women pay for me.”

“Oh.” Shi Yao nodded quickly, expressing that she understood what he meant.

After Lin Jiage received his change from the boss, he stood up and said, “Let’s go.”

Shi Yao gathered her belongings and obediently followed him.

Surprisingly, the driver was still waiting by the roadside for them.

However, Shi Yao didn’t follow Lin Jiage over. “Uh…”

Hearing Shi Yao’s voice, Lin Jiage stopped and turned to look back at her. He noticed that she was still standing at the entrance of the breakfast store, and a slight frown emerged on his face.

Shi Yao: “… You should go with the driver. The school isn’t far from this place, so I’ll just walk there.”

Lin Jiage’s frown deepened.

Seeing that Lin Jiage wasn’t responding, Shi Yao continued to explain, “It’s almost time for the morning classes to start, so there’s bound to be a huge crowd walking to our school right now. It wouldn’t be good if people see us getting out of the same car together…”

It sure was weird. There was nothing wrong with what she said. He was the one who didn’t want anyone to find out about their relationship… and yet, she saw his expression getting even darker. Slightly bewildered, she continued, “… So, you should get in the car. I won’t be tagging along.”

Lin Jiage’s lips were pursed very tightly together. The gaze that he directed towards Shi Yao was indescribably frightening.

Shi Yao meekly took a half step backward, and then decided that she should flee for her own safety. “I’ll be heading off now. Bye-bye…”

Right after saying those words, Shi Yao began to quickly walk towards the school gates.

But before she could get far, she saw something in her peripheral vision—the dark-faced Lin Jiage was heading towards her with long strides.

What’s he doing? Is he going to beat me up?

With such thoughts in mind, Shi Yao quickened her footsteps.
