The Beautiful Time With You

The dinner dishes had been served for some time now, but Lin Jiage didn’t dig into them. Instead, he stirred the glutinous rice balls in order to dissipate the heat from them.

Standing by the side, the servants were looking at Lin Jiage with increasingly perplexed gazes.

If their Young Master wasn’t going to eat, why would he order so much? Was he planning on wasting the food?

But shortly after these thoughts crossed their minds, Lin Jiage lowered his gaze to look at the glutinous rice balls, and after confirming that they were at a suitable temperature, he dug one up and placed it into Shi Yao’s bowl.

Shi Yao raised her head, and after watching Lin Jiage retract his spoon, she looked at his tranquil face.

Seeing the doubt in Shi Yao’s eyes, Lin Jiage replied lightly, “I can’t finish it by myself.”

“Thank you,” Shi Yao replied with delight before lowering her head to enjoy the glutinous rice ball that Lin Jiage had just given her.

Then, Lin Jiage placed another glutinous rice ball into Shi Yao’s bowl. Whenever she was done eating one, he would add a new one into her bowl right after.

It didn’t take long before the glutinous rice balls ran out, so they moved on to the steamed egg with milk, followed by the cream puffs, the mango pudding, the tofu chips, and finally the cherries…

When two portions of supper were finally in Shi Yao’s meal, the servants standing by the side finally understood what was going on…

Their Young Master wasn’t here to eat dinner, he was here to feed Miss Shi Yao… No, rather than feeding Miss Shi Yao, it seemed like he was feeding them dog food instead?

On the dining table, Lin Jiage looked at the empty plates in front of him and asked, “Are you full?”

Shi Yao nodded as she raised her head to look at Lin Jiage. In just a single second, she was reminded of what happened back at Lin Jiage’s bedroom. She swiftly lowered her head in embarrassment and replied with a soft “Mm”.

Compared to her shyness, Lin Jiage seemed to be much more composed and relaxed. “It’s getting late, I’ll send you back home.”

Shi Yao nodded and once again replied with a soft “Mm”. When Lin Jiage stood up, she quickly got up as well and followed him toward the courtyard.

As they passed by the living room, Shi Yao didn’t forget to say goodbye to Lin Jiayi.

Lin Jiage was still driving his grandfather’s car.

This time, he didn’t let Shi Yao get in the car herself. Instead, he stopped by the passenger seat and opened the door for her.

After what happened back at Lin Jiage’s bedroom, it was inevitable that there would be some awkwardness between them. Thus, the car drove for a very long distance with silence looming heavily between the two of them.

It was only when they were about to leave the city that Shi Yao suddenly remembered something, and she exclaimed in astonishment, “Oh no!”

Shocked by her sudden outburst, Lin Jiage abruptly stepped on the brakes and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“We haven’t paid the bill for the crayfish we ate at Taste Of Home…”

Is that all? Did you really need to react like that over something as small as this?

Lin Jiage stepped on the accelerator once more as he replied calmly, “Just think of it as a free dinner then, isn’t that good?”

“It isn’t! I really love that restaurant’s crayfish, and I still plan on going there again in the future. If I do a dine and dash, how could I ever eat there again?” Shi Yao replied indignantly.

So, Soft Bun’s main concern isn’t about how unethical a dine and dash was, but that she won’t be able to eat at Taste of Home again?

Lin Jiage fell silent.

“Forget it, I’ll go there tomorrow morning on my way to school and pay the bill…” Shi Yao began coming up with a countermeasure to salvage the situation.

Knowing that Shi Yao was serious, Lin Jiage could only speak the truth, “Actually, I already paid for the bill.”

“Oh…” Shi Yao heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, she hurriedly added, “How much was it? I’ll pay you.”

“There’s no need for that.”

“That won’t do. We agreed that I’d treat you…

“… If you really don’t want to accept my money, why don’t I treat you next time then?”

This time, Lin Jiage didn’t turn down Shi Yao’s offer.

The car finally arrived at Shi Yao’s doorstep. Just as Shi Yao was getting out of the car, Lin Jiage suddenly said, “I have some stuff in the car trunk. Take a look and see if you’re interested in them.”
