Chapter 375: You Can Eat Anything You Like, But You Can’t Simply Say Anything You Want (1)
Too fearful at the notion that Shi Yao would misunderstand that he was interested in guys, Lin Jiage’s response circumvented his brain and shot right out of his mouth, “I find a woman like you attractive.”
Shi Yao had never expected to hear such a response from Lin Jiage. In the moment that Lin Jiage’s words sounded, her fingertips shuddered a little, and her heart inexplicably began to run amok.
Lin Jiage… What on earth was he thinking about?
It was just a moment ago that his mouth was so foul that she really wanted to use a toilet paper to stuff it shut, but in the next moment, he suddenly dropped such a remark…
It was not that she had never been complimented for her looks before. Her height suddenly shot up when she was fifteen, and her breasts began to rise. Her skin gradually became brighter, and her eyebrows seemed to have blossomed overnight. It was a transformative change. Those who knew her said that she was an ugly duckling who had grown into a white swan, and those who did not would be awed by her looks and compliment her.
Initially, she would still feel a little embarrassed at being complimented, but she gradually grew used to it with time.
Before closer friends, she could be thick-skinned and boast that she was born with natural grace. To those whom she was less familiar with, she would graciously thank them for their compliments and politely return one.
But for some reason, she found herself unable to keep her calm when it came to Lin Jiage. Furthermore, it was different from the embarrassment that she initially felt when others praised her for her looks. Rather, it was a kind of fluster that even she couldn’t determine where it originated from.
While Shi Yao’s mind was wandering around the place, a chuckle escaped from Lin Jiayi after hearing Lin Jiage’s words.
Hearing the chuckle, Shi Yao raised her gaze to first look at Lin Jiayi before slowly turning her eyes to Lin Jiage.
Lin Jiage was still staring at her. She couldn’t tell whether it was because she was thinking too much, but she seemed to sense some bizarre intentions within his gaze.
She met his gaze for a short three seconds before diverting her eyes away.
Despite so, she could sense that Lin Jiage was still looking at her, and this situation left her feeling a little unnatural.
Her eyes rolled around nervously before she raised her head once more with feigned composure. Once again, she turned her gaze toward Lin Jiage.
But even though her gaze was directed in Lin Jiage’s direction, her eyes were still wandering around. She was unable to bring herself to meet Lin Jiage’s eyes.
Her cowardice left her feeling a little stifled inside, but she forced herself to speak with a casual tone, “Lin Jiage, your joke isn’t funny at all…”
Lin Jiayi finally cracked after hearing Shi Yao’s response, and she nearly spurted the tea she was drinking out.
Due to her frequent excessive responses, Lin Jiage shot her a warning glare.
However, Lin Jiayi wasn’t affected by it at all. She continued staring at Lin Jiage and Shi Yao with a curious glint in her eyes, as if a spectator watching a drama unfolding before her eyes.
On the other hand, after he had warned Lin Jiayi with a glare, he turned his gaze to Shi Yao and said, “I…”
He had barely said a single word when Shi Yao, fearing that what he was going to say would leave her feeling even more flustered inside, interjected anxiously, “You’re lucky that those women are in the television. If they were here with us, what you are doing wouldn’t be complimenting me but laying a trap for me. You would be drawing all of their ire upon me, you know?”
Those words left the smile on Lin Jiayi’s lips blooming even more brightly.
In the many years that she had known Lin Jiage, this was the first time she was hearing Lin Jiage complimenting another person.
But it did not seem like his first attempt to compliment someone was going too well…
Why is it so fun to see Lin Jiage being forced into a difficult position? This is so much better than those nighttime soap operas…
At this point in time, the nature of the glint in Lin Jiayi’s eyes had already turned from one of excitement to gloating over someone else’s misfortune.
In contrast to Lin Jiayi’s exhilaration, the expression on Lin Jiage’s face was starting to become a little tense.
He was not joking with her at all, and he was not trying to draw anyone’s ire upon her either. He was earnestly trying to compliment her…
