137 Potato Chips, Roasted Duck, Milk Tea, Ice Cream Vanilla 1 (1/2)

The other end of the phone was completely silent.

Shi Yao felt more and more unnerved.

Just as she was wondering whether she should apologize once more, she vaguely heard a sigh on the other end of the phone, and she froze.

It didn't seem like Lin Jiage was angry. On the contrary, he seemed to be a little upset. But what was he upset about?

Very soon, Lin Jiage spoke up, and his tone was no different from usual, ”Are apples your favorite fruit?”

Ah? Did I hear him wrong?

Shi Yao was silent for a moment before responding, ”That's not it. There are only apples in our dormitory room.”

”Then, what do you like to eat the most?”

”Fruits?”

”Mm.”

”Passion fruit, loquat, watermelon, pineapple, pomegranate…”

”What about other things? Snacks?”

”Oh, I love potato chips, roasted duck, milk tea…” Shi Yao listed a long list of food without getting breathless. At the very end, she added, ”... But, I still love ice cream the most, especially vanilla!”

”Ice cream?”

”Yup…” Shi Yao paused for a moment before asking. ”... Do you like ice cream too?”

”That's not it. I have a friend who loves to eat too, and the two of you are rather similar in terms of preferences…”

”Ohhh…” The windows along the corridors of the dormitory weren't closed, and the night gale was a little chilling. Shi Yao was only dressed in her pajamas, so she couldn't help but shiver because of it, causing her original question of ”Who's your friend?” to freeze on her lips.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Jiage noticed her strangeness and asked, ”You're outside?”

”Mm. My roommates are asleep, so I was afraid of waking them up.” Shi Yao's voice shivered a little from the cold.

”I see,” Lin Jiage replied.

Shi Yao didn't know how she could respond to those words.

Less than two seconds later, Lin Jiage spoke up once more, ”I'll be hanging up now.”
