The Beautiful Time With You

The dinner dishes had been served for some time now, but Lin Jiage didnât 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 wasnât 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 Yaoâs 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 Yaoâs eyes, Lin Jiage replied lightly, âI canât finish it by myself.â
âThank you,â 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 Yaoâs bowl. Whenever she was done eating one, he would add a new one into her bowl right after.
It didnât 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 cherriesâ¦
When two portions of supper were finally in Shi Yaoâs meal, the servants standing by the side finally understood what was going onâ¦
Their Young Master wasnât 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, âAre you full?â
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 Jiageâs bedroom. She swiftly lowered her head in embarrassment and replied with a soft âMmâ.
Compared to her shyness, Lin Jiage seemed to be much more composed and relaxed. âItâs getting late, Iâll send you back home.â
Shi Yao nodded and once again replied with a soft âMmâ. 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 didnât forget to say goodbye to Lin Jiayi.
Lin Jiage was still driving his grandfatherâs car.
This time, he didnât 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 Jiageâs 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, âOh no!â
Shocked by her sudden outburst, Lin Jiage abruptly stepped on the brakes and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âWe havenât paid the bill for the crayfish we ate at Taste Of Homeâ¦â
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, âJust think of it as a free dinner then, isnât that good?â
âIt isnât! I really love that restaurantâs 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?â Shi Yao replied indignantly.
So, Soft Bunâs main concern isnât about how unethical a dine and dash was, but that she wonât be able to eat at Taste of Home again?
Lin Jiage fell silent.
âForget it, Iâll go there tomorrow morning on my way to school and pay the billâ¦â 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, âActually, I already paid for the bill.â
âOhâ¦â Shi Yao heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, she hurriedly added, âHow much was it? Iâll pay you.â
âThereâs no need for that.â
âThat wonât do. We agreed that Iâd treat youâ¦
â⦠If you really donât want to accept my money, why donât I treat you next time then?â
This time, Lin Jiage didnât turn down Shi Yaoâs offer.
The car finally arrived at Shi Yaoâs doorstep. Just as Shi Yao was getting out of the car, Lin Jiage suddenly said, âI have some stuff in the car trunk. Take a look and see if youâre interested in them.â
