I’ll Be Depending On You For This Semester's Deliveries (1)

"Yaoyao, you're about to bump into someone!"2

Leng Nuan sudden shout caused Shi Yao to raise her eyes and look in front of her.

A white bundle about ten centimeters away blocked her entire view of the road ahead.

Shi Yao could vaguely tell that it was the chest of a tall man.

She tried to stop, but due to her earlier momentum, it was already too late.

Expecting to experience a sharp pain from bumping into the chest of another, Shi Yao squeezed her eyes shut right before she slammed into the other party.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... The anticipated pain didn't arrive.

Shi Yao thought that she was dreaming, so she blinked her eyes in confusion. However, she still didn't feel any pain. So, she started to move her head, and only then did her delayed senses tell her that the sensation on her face wasn't from clothing. Instead, it felt warm and soft...

<em

This...</em

Shi Yao was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was a palm...

In the moment that she bumped into the man, he had stretched out his hand to protect her face...

Furthermore, this hand had a very pleasant smell to it. It was reminiscent of the refreshing scent of a lush grass field after a light drizzle...

"Yaoyao, are you okay?"

Leng Nuan's voice jolted awake the dazed Shi Yao.

H-h-her hand was still pressed against the man's palm...

Shi Yao anxiously took a step backward to create some distance between her and the man before raising her face. She wanted to apologize to the man, but when her gaze was about to reach the collar of the other party, Leng Nuan's voice sounded for the third time, "S-S-Senior Lin…"

<em

S-S-Senior Lin?</em

Shi Yao roughly knew who was standing in front of her, and her gaze stopped at his collar. A few seconds later, she quickly glanced upward, and after a brief look, she hurriedly lowered her face once more.

<em

I-it really is Lin Jiage...</em

The word she was just about to utter—'Sorry<em

'</em

—was stuck in her throat for some reason. It just wouldn't come out.

Leng Nuan, who was standing beside Shi Yao at this point, noted her friend's prolonged silence, so she spoke up once more, "Senior Lin, we truly feel sorry about this."

As Leng Nuan spoke, she discreetly pinched Shi Yao's hand.

Recovering from her bewilderment, Shi Yao lifted her gaze again and looked at Lin Jiage. "Sorry."

Lin Jiage tilted his head slightly downward to look at Shi Yao with his usual nonchalant face, and without saying a word, he walked around her and continued on.

It was only after Lin Jiage was some distance away before He Tiantian and Jiang Yue finally recovered from their dazed state. They quickly rushed to Shi Yao and Leng Nuan with agitated expressions.

"My gosh, was I really just standing across from my Adonis?"

"Did Yaoyao's face really touch my Adonis's hand?"

"Yaoyao, quick, let me touch your face! This can count as holding hands with my Adonis…"

...

"Did you notice that the girl who bumped into our boss was very beautiful? She's like my ideal goddess!" As if he'd discovered a new land, Xia Shangzhou began talking excitedly after they had walked a distance away.

"She's beautiful, but I think that the girl who spoke to us earlier is more my type." As Lu Benlai spoke, he subconsciously shot a glance behind him. "If fate gives me the chance to meet her again, I'm going to ask her out!"
