Chapter 724 Next Year (2)

He had already taken off his coat, probably when he was making brown sugar and ginger tea, and rolled up his sleeves for convenience.

Shi Yao just turned her head and before she could speak, she saw obvious scars on his exposed arm.

The scars have scabbed over, but they still look shocking...

Shi Yao suddenly remembered what Sister Jiayi told her. Then she stared at Lin Jiage's arm and couldn't help but said, "You...were you beaten by Grandpa Lin?"

When Shi Yao asked, Lin Jiage quickly rolled down his sleeves, but he still grasped the key point of her words very keenly, "How did you know it was grandpa?"

He finished asking one second, and then seemed to understand the next second, and spoke again: "You know everything?"

Although his words were unclear, Shi Yao knew that he was referring to the reasons he made up for Grandpa Lin. She nodded: "Well, I called Sister Jiayi, and Sister Jiayi told mine……"

After two seconds of silence, Shi Yao spoke again: "Why are you making such a fuss with Grandpa Lin? If you act like this, people will misunderstand you...you..."

As Shi Yao talked, she didn't know how to continue.

"Yao Yao, I will definitely do what I promise you."

"But...but you can't let yourself be wronged."

"Really?" Lin Jiage suddenly smiled with widened eyebrows: "I don't feel wronged at all..."

Lin Jiage's calm words made Shi Yao's eyes suddenly turn sour. She lowered her head subconsciously and stayed in such a quiet and well-behaved manner for a while before she whispered: "Lin Jiage, thank you... …”

"Okay, this is what I am willing to do..." Lin Jiage said, then his eyes fell on the cake box Shi Yao placed on the table: "...What is that? Cake?"

"Well..." When Shi Yao heard Lin Jiage's words, she looked up at the cake, then took her bag, took out the exquisitely packaged box, and handed it to Lin Jiage: "This is for you, cake. It’s for you too.”

"Mine?" Lin Jiage's eyes were filled with surprise. Because of his excitement, his fingertips trembled slightly when he took the box.

"Well, today is your birthday. I promised you before that I would give you a birthday gift..." After Shi Yao explained in a low voice, he added: "...I chose the gift. I didn't know you do you like it……"

Before Shi Yao could say anything else, Lin Jiage was the first to say, "I like it!"

After finishing his answer, Lin Jiage raised his wrist and glanced at the time: "It's not past twelve o'clock yet, so I haven't had a cake for my birthday today. Since you brought a cake, how about we cut a cake?"

Shi Yao did not refuse.

Lin Jiage pulled the cake in front of him, opened it, and inserted candles.

Before blowing out the candles, Shi Yao said happy birthday to Lin Jiage very seriously, and Lin Jiage also made a wish with his hands clasped together, looking very pious.

When he blew out the candles and cut the cake, Shi Yao couldn't help but curiously asked: "What wish did you make?"

Lin Jiage paused while cutting the cake.

He didn't speak, but in his mind, he recalled the wish he had just made.

His wish is: I hope he can hear her say happy birthday to him next year.

The next year he is talking about is not that next year. The next year he is talking about is the next year of next year, the next year of next year... until there is no next year in his life.
