Deities Are All Just My Food-Chapter 2336 - 1046: Dinner Time, Less Than Love

Dinner was Jiang Yitong’s treat, costing over seven hundred yuan, and it pained her greatly.

After settling the bill and coming out, she tightly clutched her phone, as if doing so could retrieve the money she spent.

"Is this what it feels like to spend so much money at once?"

Jiang Yitong, being particularly sentimental, was savoring the feeling, then glanced at Lin Baici with a tone tinged with unexplainable emotions: "This is my first time!"

"What? The first time you treated a guy to dinner?"

Lin Baici retorted.

"Not the first time, it’s the first time spending so much money!"

After finishing, perhaps afraid Lin might misunderstand, she explained quickly: "In high school and college, at the cafeteria when I met guys who helped pay the bill, I had to treat them back."

Afterwards, Jiang Yitong was not happy.

Why am I explaining this?

If he wants to misunderstand, let him. Why should I care?

"So, what should I say?"

Lin Baici joked: "I’m very honored to have your favor?"

"Won’t you die if you’re not being sarcastic?"

Jiang Yitong rolled her eyes at Lin Baici.

Her heart was a mix of emotions!

What does spending so much money for the first time count for?

The two of them even played poker before.

That was a girl’s only real once-in-a-lifetime, very precious.

"What’s next? Keep strolling, or head back to the hotel?"

Lin Baici glanced at the time.

At this hour, for some people, it’s already late, after dinner it’s time to prepare for family duties, like helping kids with homework, but for others, nightlife is just beginning.

"I want to see my mom!"

Jiang Yitong blurted out.

"..."

Lin Baici fell silent.

"Feeling guilty?"

Jiang Yitong pouted: "Don’t worry, I have face, I won’t tell my mom about something like this."

Jiang Yitong could imagine, with her mom’s personality, telling her about things with Lin Baici would have her mom grabbing a broom and beating her senseless within seconds.

Because, in Wang Fang’s mind, Lin Baici had a particularly good image; she might think her daughter was trying to catch Lin Baici, the Diamond King, by deliberately getting involved.

Wang Fang had raised Jiang Yitong for this long, how could she not know? Though Wang Fang didn’t say it, she understood her daughter’s vanity was quite strong.

"Sorry."

Lin Baici sighed.

"What are you apologizing for? It’s done already!"

Jiang Yitong had come to terms: "If I do get pregnant, just make sure you don’t find an excuse to refuse accompanying me to the hospital!"

"I won’t!"

Lin Baici promised.

"Go home!"

Jiang Yitong didn’t want to stroll anymore, having played for most of the day, she was tired.

"Home?"

Lin Baici headed to the elevator, hearing this, he paused.

"Uh, I meant back to the hotel; I can’t really adapt to that kind of hotel, it’s so big, and once the novelty wears off, it feels lonely being by myself."

Jiang Yitong laughed at herself: "Turns out I really have a poor fate unable to enjoy such benefits."

"Maybe home feels safe and cozy?"

Lin Baici went to the underground parking and after retrieving the car, drove Jiang Yitong back to the Shangri-La Hotel.

...

In the car, the two didn’t speak much, but the atmosphere wasn’t awkward.

Because of traffic, it took over an hour to drive back to the hotel.

"It’s quite late, you don’t have to walk me in, head home early, okay?"

Jiang Yitong said as she saw Lin Baici unbuckling his seatbelt.

Lin Baici had already opened the car door, hearing this, he turned to look at Jiang Yitong.

Jiang Yitong perhaps felt that saying it like this seemed too cold, she changed her tune: "Or... would you like to come up for a bit?"

"Do you want me to come up, or do you want me to leave right away?"

Lin Baici couldn’t decipher Jiang Yitong’s thoughts.

"I... do whatever you want!"

Jiang Yitong got out of the car, unsure of what attitude to adopt towards Lin Baici.

"Are you afraid I’ll find an excuse to stay if I go up?"

Lin Baici took a deep breath, began fastening his seatbelt: "Take care, I won’t escort you up!"

"Damn, how can you be so petty as a grown man?"

Jiang Yitong slammed the car door shut: "I’m truly worried you’ll be too late getting back, something might happen on the way!"

"Alright, go up then!"

"Don’t expect to leave until midnight!"

Jiang Yitong rushed to the driver’s side, opened the door, pulling Lin Baici down, determined to let him up.

"Stop messing around!"

Lin Baici lost the struggle, eventually being pulled back to the presidential suite.

Then, Jiang Yitong was a bit dumbfounded.

The person came up, but what now?

Just sitting in a daze?

Can’t play poker again, right?

Jiang Yitong restlessly scratched her head: "I’m going to... take a shower!"

Wanting to escape, but saying she was going to the bathroom couldn’t be said in front of a guy, so she chose ’shower’, though that also sounded suggestive.

Lin Baici raised an eyebrow.

"Uh, don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean anything else!"

Jiang Yitong hurried to clarify, her heart racing, what if Lin Baici took the chance to trap her against the wall, what would she do?

Reject him?

Honestly, her attitude of rejection wasn’t very firm.

In such a luxurious, expensive presidential suite, if not doing something, just sleeping, wouldn’t that be a huge waste?

Staying here for a few days would cost tens of thousands.

"Alright then, stop fretting, it’s been a long day, have an early rest!"

Lin Baici turned to leave: "I’m heading home!"

Jiang Yitong watched Lin Baici decisively leave, and as she closed the door, a small pang of loss struck within her.

Actually, she wanted to see Lin Baici confess to her.

All right!

She too was blinded by hope.

How could that possibly happen!

Jiang Yitong sluggishly opened Xiaohongshu, noticing over a hundred message notifications.

She clicked in!

All were replies to the two posts she had made yesterday.
