Some time later, Shi Yao's voice sounded in his ears. "No, that's not it. It's the turn ahead …"
Lin Jiage finally snapped out of his daze, and it was only then that he realized that while his thoughts were running wild, the car had already arrived in the vicinity of Shi Yao's house. In his moment of absent-mindedness, he nearly drove the car off course.
He quickly stepped on the brakes, and once the car slowed down, he made a turn according to Shi Yao's instructions.
When the car finally stabilized, Lin Jiage finally recalled the reason why he had come to meet Shi Yao.
He was here to confess to her and set up a date … Simply put, could this be considered as their first date?
But how should he bring it up?
Lin Jiage pondered for a moment before asking, "Are you busy recently?"
"I can't really say that I'm busy, but I have a lot of things to do …" Shi Yao thought that Lin Jiage was just trying to chat with her, so she didn't think too much of it and continued on, "… Isn't it grandfather's birthday in two days? The day after my birthday, it's the final exam … "
Lin Jiage exclaimed in astonishment, "It's almost the end of the semester?"
Hearing his reply, Shi Yao was stunned for a moment before asking in disbelief, "Do you really not know, or are you just feigning ignorance?"
"Pretending?" Lin Jiage frowned for a moment before replying, "I only remember the date of the National College Entrance Examination. I don't remember anything else …"
"What if you forget the exam?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiage nodded and replied, "That's true. I forgot about the final exam in the second semester of my Freshman year, and it was only when my teacher gave me a call that I found out about it. I was at home at the time, and by the time I arrived at school, an hour had already passed. Initially, I wasn't allowed to enter the examination hall, but the invigilator was on good terms with my father, so he let me in. Half an hour later, it was time to hand in my paper."
Half a clock? The entire G University was saying that Lin Jiage was a flawless genius, but his examination time was only half an hour. Could it be that his results weren't that good?
It wasn't easy for Shi Yao to catch a glimpse of Lin Jiage's problem. Blinking her eyes, she asked curiously, "If it's only half an hour, could it be that you didn't manage to finish the questions during the examination?"
Didn't finish the question? Impossible … Lin Jiage: "Why don't you take a guess?"
Guess? Was he embarrassed to say that his results weren't good? Shi Yao bit on her finger and asked, "Were your results that bad back then?"
Not ideal? Was he really that bad in Soft Bun's eyes?
Lin Jiage shook his head.
Before he could say a word, Shi Yao had already come to a realization. "Oh, I got it. You failed the course!"
"…" Lin Jiage fell silent. Did he just end up getting struck by lightning for showing off?
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage exclaimed, "How is that possible? My results in G University were all A +. Forget half an hour, even if there were only twenty minutes left, I would still be fine. Let me tell you, I finished the paper in fourteen minutes and thirty seconds. The reason why I don't keep track of the time of the exam is because to me, exams are just a few fill-in-the-blank questions and multiple-choice questions. "
So … the reason he asked her to guess wasn't to guess how miserable he was, but to show off as a straight-A student?
Shi Yao discreetly placed a hand on her chest to soothe the shock from the top student.
Soon, the car came to a stop at Shi Yao's house.
After thanking him, she was just about to push the car door open when Lin Jiage suddenly called out to her, "Shi Yao."
Shi Yao turned around to look at Lin Jiage.
Looking into Shi Yao's eyes, Lin Jiage couldn't help but feel a tinge of nervousness. He gulped down a mouthful of saliva before asking, "You'll be free after the end-of-semester exam, right?"
Shi Yao shook her head and replied, "It's already the holidays, so of course I'll be free."
"Then …" Lin Jiage lowered his head to take a look at the time. Today was the 23rd. Then, he raised his head and asked, "The 30th is the second day of the holidays. Can I ask you out?"
