Meanwhile, Liang Mumu was still chatting with his grandfather about something. Occasionally a little higher in pitch, occasionally a little lower; there was a melodious rhythm to her voice that seemed to draw others into what she was saying. Yet, Lin Jiage found her a little irritating.

He remained in the room for a while longer before eventually finding the noise unbearable. Thus, he stood up, intending to head out to take a momentary breather. But before he could take a single step, he suddenly caught sight of Shi Yao in his peripheral vision.

Sitting quietly on a chair, the young lady was holding an apple that was almost as big as her face, munching on it attentively.

It was almost as if her eyes had no room for anything else other than the apple before her.

Each time she bit down on the apple, her eyes would curl up into a smile. In that instant, it felt as if she had just been given the entire world, and an air of bliss flowed naturally into her surroundings.

He had seen those who could whet up a great appetite in others through their eating, but this was the very first time he was seeing someone deriving such immense joy through eating…

This young lady sure was easily satisfied!

Lin Jiage couldn’t resist taking an additional look at her. Eventually, it came to a point where, unbeknownst to him, whenever the young lady’s eyes curled up after taking a bite of the apple, his lips would inch up uncontrollably as well.

After staring for some time, a ray of sunlight suddenly shone through the window and into the ward. By a sheer stroke of coincidence, the ray fell right on her, highlighting her fair and supple complexion.

This scene was truly beautiful. So beautiful that Lin Jiage felt an urge to preserve it eternally.

As this thought surfaced in his mind, his hand had already instinctively slipped into his pocket to grab his dying phone. He tapped into the camera function and discreetly focused the view on Shi Yao.

In this instant, she was taking a biting off a particularly large chunk of the apple, causing her cheeks to puff up slightly.

Her exquisite, oval-shaped face suddenly became roundish, forming an indescribably adorable sight…

Lin Jiage swiftly tapped on the shutter to capture this moment.

“Brother Jia? Are you returning to school or home after this?”

Before Lin Jiage could take a closer look at the photo he had just snapped, Liang Mumu’s gentle voice suddenly sounded by the side.

Lin Jiage shot a glance at Liang Mumu and replied with an impassive “Depends”. At the same time, he casually switched off his phone and slipped it back into his pocket.

“If you are planning to return home, why don’t we head off together…” Liang Mumu spoke up once more, but Lin Jiage didn’t respond to her words anymore.

In the midst of a brief awkward silence, Shi Yao’s phone rang—’ding dong!’

While munching on her apple, she freed a hand of hers and reached for her bag to dig out her phone.

“Yaoyao, what about you? Do you have to rush back to school after this? If not, why don’t you come over to my home and have dinner with me? My cousin sent over a crab from Hokkaido earlier this morning, and we’re planning to have the housekeeper cook it for dinner tonight…” Liang Mumu said as she walked up to Shi Yao.

Then, as if she was exhausted from standing for too long, she hugged Shi Yao tightly from the back, entrusting her full weight to her.

“I’ll have to pass. I’m meeting my roommates for dinner later,” Shi Yao replied to Liang Mumu as she tapped on the Messages icon on her phone.

It was a message from Han Jing: [Shi Yao, my mom just sent me some local specialties from my hometown. Are you at your dorm at the moment? I’ll send some over.]

“Han Jing?”

Watching as Shi Yao replied Han Jing with a [I’m not in school at the moment] , Liang Mumu blinked her eyes before asking, “A male schoolmate?”
