Upon seeing Lin Jiage, Shi Yao's reprimanding Gu Nanqiang stopped abruptly, and even her tone became much gentler, "You're awake?"
Lin Jiage replied with an "Mm". "I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention and accidentally fell asleep."
"It's fine …" Shi Yao smiled lightly. "… Is your stomach still hurting?"
Lin Jiage nodded silently.
Shi Yao poked Gu Nanqiang's head with her pen, indicating for him to pay attention.
Gu Nanqiang raised his hand indignantly and rubbed his head, but he still turned his gaze back to the paper.
After she was done, Shi Yao turned her head around, and her gaze met with Lin Jiage's.
Shi Yao's fingers trembled slightly as she held onto her pen. She finally said what she wanted to say, "Why don't we go out for lunch? My parents went out with a tour group two days ago, so there's nothing to eat at home. "
Without any hesitation, Lin Jiage replied with a "Sure".
They had lunch near Shi Yao's house.
Lin Jiage couldn't possibly just sit around, so he tried to find a topic to talk about after sitting down.
Considering that Gu Nanqiang had been working so hard on his papers over the weekend, it was likely that his results were pretty good. Thus, he found a topic that he could praise later on and asked, "Given how diligent my younger brother is, his results must be really good, right?"
"In this month's mock exam, he scored a 0 out of 750." Without giving Gu Nanqiang a chance to speak, Shi Yao continued, "It's precisely because I had to keep an eye on him that I went home."
Ah … I didn't find the right topic?
Lin Jiage pondered for two seconds before replying, "It's fine, it's just a mock exam. It doesn't mean anything."
Shi Yao: "Oh, he scored a 0 in the previous mock exam too, the one before that, and the one before that too … My aunt was furious. She said that even if he doesn't know anything, he should at least try his luck and stop handing in blank papers. Do you know how he replied to her? He said that he couldn't, that he was afraid that he would change history by answering the questions. He even said that he was a transmigrator from the future, and that he was only following the course of history … Hehehe. "
It wasn't that he didn't find the right topic, but that he had nearly failed in his flattery …
Not wanting to offend his cousin's brother-in-law, Lin Jiage tried his best to salvage the situation. "It's just academic performance. It doesn't mean anything, and it can't define a person's life."
"I can't say for sure, but that shouldn't be an excuse to not study hard!" Shi Yao replied disapprovingly.
Damn it, I was so focused on coaxing my brother-in-law that I forgot about Soft Bun …
Lin Jiage hurriedly nodded his head. "That's right. As a student, learning is still our main priority!"
As he said those words, Lin Jiage discreetly observed Shi Yao's expression, and he noticed that most of the disapproval in her eyes had disappeared. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "It's just as well. Didn't you say that you're going to do the Mathematics and Science papers in the afternoon? I don't have much to do, so I can help him with his lessons. "
The disapproval in Shi Yao's eyes was quickly replaced by gratitude. "Thank you, Lin Jiage."
Lin Jiage's anxious heart finally calmed down. "It's only right."
Thus, throughout the entire meal, Lin Jiage no longer dared to casually look for a conversation topic.
…
By the time Lin Jiage was done with Gu Nanqiang's Mathematics and Science papers, it was already dusk.
After staying in Shi Yao's house for an entire day, Lin Jiage finally decided to leave in satisfaction.
