The Beautiful Time With You-Chapter 21: Meeting In The Little Forest (1)

Translator: StarveCleric Editor: StarveCleric

Lin Jiage had finally messaged back after several days.

[Are you free?]

Was it finally happening? f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

Was he looking for her to discuss the cancelation of their engagement?

Shi Yao immediately put aside whatever she’d sent to the [Sexy and Frisky] WeChat group and began typing a reply to Lin Jiage’s message.

But barely after she had typed out the ‘y’ in ‘yes’, her phone received yet another notification.

It was still from Lin Jiage. [If you’re free, then meet me in twenty minutes at the little forest behind the male dorm.]

Was he planning to speak to her face-to-face?

There was truly no need to do so. It would be enough to arrange a meeting at the Lin Family’s old residence to explain things clearly to Grandpa Lin…

These were the thoughts in Shi Yao’s mind, but in order to end things as quickly as possible, she deleted the letter in her textbox, typed out another word, and sent it over. [Alright.] 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

Lin Jiage didn’t respond to her message.

Holding her phone, Shi Yao sat blankly for a moment before she got up to grab some clothes from her wardrobe to switch out of her pajamas.

He Tiantian was in the middle of catching up on her manga when she noticed Shi Yao’s actions and asked casually, “Yaoyao, you heading out?”

Hearing He Tiantian’s voice, Jiang Yue, who was painting her nails on her bed, turned to look at Shi Yao and asked worriedly, “Yaoyao, it’s already late. Where are you going?”

“I…” Shi Yao was going to say that she had an appointment with someone else, but the words suddenly got caught in her throat.

People rarely made appointments with her. If she said those words to this trio, they would probably follow her secretly to watch the commotion, just like they’d done before.

But this time around, the situation with the person she was meeting was a little special…

Thus, Shi Yao pondered for a brief moment and changed her sentence, “… am heading to the supermarket to buy some stuff.”

Jiang Yue: “Help me get a slice of their yogurt cake. I’ll have it for breakfast tomorrow.”

He Tiantian: “I want one too.”

Jiang Yue: “Leng Nuan isn’t around, but since we don’t have any lessons tomorrow morning we definitely won’t be going to the canteen for breakfast. So Yaoyao, I think you should get one slice for her too.”

Shi Yao replied with an ‘OK’ before putting on her shoes and heading out of the dormitory room.

After leaving the building, she took a look at her watch and noted that there were still five minutes before the appointed time with Lin Jiage.

As the campus’s cake shop was located in the opposite direction of the little forest, Shi Yao chose to make her way there first to purchase four slices of yogurt cake before heading to the meeting point.

Twenty minutes had already passed by the time Shi Yao arrived at the little forest, but Lin Jiage was still nowhere in sight, so she stood around and waited.

She wasn’t too sure how much time had passed, though it didn’t seem like it had been very long. Eventually, she heard the sounds of footsteps from not too far away. Lifting her gaze, she saw a young man dressed in a white sweatshirt walking towards her.

Compared to the leisurely attitude he usually had whenever they met, his footsteps felt a little flurried at this moment.

Was he anxious because he was late?

However, he sure did like white. Among the limited memories she had of him, he seemed to wear white each and every time…

While such thoughts were running through Shi Yao’s mind, Lin Jiage was already standing about a half a meter away from her.

Shi Yao swiftly returned to her senses, and in the next moment, she suddenly heard Lin Jiage’s voice sounding from above her, “What in the world are you trying to pull?”

His voice was pleasing to the ear, but his tone was a little heavy. This was a clear difference compared to the nonchalant tone he’d taken at SKP the previous time they met.

He… Was he… unhappy?

Shi Yao frowned in bewilderment as she lifted her head to face the young man in front of her.
