88: I’ll Complement Her, So It Won’t Affect the Intelligence of Our Children (2)

I’ll Complement Her, So It Won’t Affect the Intelligence of Our Children (2)

After saying those words, Lin Jiage shot an inconspicuous glance at his grandfather.2

As he had expected, his grandfather's expression swiftly reverted back to a doting smile. "That child is Jiage and Yaoyao's friend? To think of delivering food to our Yaoyao whenever he could, he must be a really good friend of yours. If there's time, do bring him over to our house to play. It's only right to take good care of students from the other provinces…"

Lin Jiage replied to his grandfather's words with an "Mm" as he turned his glance toward Liang Mumu.

The smile on her face had become a little forced...

Of course, how could it not become forced? Despite all the acting she had done, all of her efforts were rendered futile with just a single sentence from him...

But she deserves it... Soft Bun might seem docile and easy to bully, but if anyone dares to do so... Hehe[1], see if I, Lin Jiage, will allow it or not!

We're in a perfectly fine ward, but someone just had to fill it with toxic fumes that were more fearsome than the worst smog in Beijing.

Looks like I definitely need to drag that dull lass out of here to cleanse her lungs...

With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage straightened up his posture and said, "Grandpa, it's getting late. I still have an appointment with my classmates, so I'll be leaving first."

"Sure, go ahead," Grandpa Lin replied with an impatient wave of his hand, as if he couldn't wait for Lin Jiage to leave the room.

Lin Jiage's mouth twitched slightly. Nevertheless, he headed for the door without saying a word.

As he passed Shi Yao's side, his hand reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her out from Liang Mumu's embrace. "It's convenient for me, so I'll take you back to school."

With a firm grip on Shi Yao's arm, Lin Jiage continued heading to the door, dragging a stumbling Shi Yao behind him. 

So, Shi Yao could only turn around to bid Grandpa Lin farewell. After which, her gaze turned to Liang Mumu, and for a brief moment, she fell silent. Eventually, she waved her hand and said, "See you, Mumu."

See you? See what you? Just because I thought that you're a dull lass doesn't mean that you should really become one!

Before Liang Mumu could even respond to Shi Yao's words, Lin Jiage had already dragged the young lady out of the ward. The door between them closed, severing their sight of one another.

...

The driver had already been waiting for them at the entrance of the hospital.

Lin Jiage stuffed Shi Yao into the car before finally releasing his grip on her arm.

The driver fastened his seatbelt and asked, "Young Master, are we heading to the school?"

Lin Jiage replied with an "Mm".

The car began moving, and not too long after setting off—'ding dong!'—Shi Yao's phone rang.

Did that Han Jing fellow send her another message?

Quickly sitting up straight, Lin Jiage sneaked a wary glance toward Shi Yao.

The young lady under his gaze took out her phone, unlocked the screen, and tapped into the Messages icon.

It was really a message from that Han Jing fellow! The message was rather lengthy, making it difficult to read. Nevertheless, through exploiting his sharp vision, Lin Jiage was still able to read every single word of it.

[When are you coming back? The specialties can't be left overnight, or else they'll go bad. My mom had to pack a lot of ice bags to preserve them, so you should eat them all by tonight.]

Shi Yao swiftly moved her fingertips: [I should be able to reach the school within an hour.]

Senior Han: [Alright. Message me when you get here, I'll send it over to you.]

Lin Jiage didn't bother looking at the subsequent replies Shi Yao sent over.

Looking out of the window, he watched the streets pass him by. A while later, a glint flickered across his eyes, and he said, "Let's stop by the old residence first."

[1] In Chinese, "hehe" is usually used in a sarcastic way, somewhat like a dry laughter.
