Upon catching sight of Lin Jiage, Shi Yao's scoldings trailed to a halt. With a voice that was audibly much softer and tender than before, she asked, "You are awake?"
"Un," Lin Jiage replied, "Sorry, I fell asleep before I realized it."
"It's fine…" Shi Yao replied with a slight smile. "... Is your stomach feeling alright now?"
Lin Jiage nodded before falling silent.
Shi Yao took a pencil to poke Gu Nanqiang's head, urging him to focus on the paper.
Gu Nanqiang indignantly raised his hand to rub his head, but he still turned his eyes back to the English paper.
After explaining one of the questions, Shi Yao casually turned her head to the side, and all of a sudden, she found herself meeting eyes with Lin Jiage, who had actually been staring at her intently all this while.
