Translator: StarveCleric Editor: StarveCleric
“Ah? You are heading the wrong way. You should have turned at the bend ahead…”
After what felt like an eternity, Shi Yao’s voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Lin Jiage finally snapped out of his daze.
It was then that he realized that in the midst of his wandering thoughts, the car had already reached the vicinity of Shi Yao’s house, and he nearly drove overshot.
He quickly stepped on the brake, and the car swiftly decelerated. After that, he turned at the bend that Shi Yao ntioned earlier.
It was only after the car returned back on the path that Lin Jiage suddenly rembered the reason why he ca looking for Shi Yao today.
He was intending to ask her out for a date to confess to her… Or could this actually be considered as their first date?
But how was he supposed to approach the topic?
Lin Jiage pondered for a mont before he asked, “Are you very busy recently?”
“Hmm, I wouldn’t say that I’m busy, but there have been quite a few matters recently…” Shi Yao thought that Lin Jiage was just chatting idling with her, so she simply replied casually too. “… Isn’t it Grandpa Lin’s birthday two days later? And the following day after his birthday will be our end-of-sester examination…”
Lin Jiage blurted out in astonishnt, “It’s already the end-of-sester examinations?”
Shi Yao was slightly surprised to hear those words from Lin Jiage. She looked at him with disbelief in her eyes as she asked, “Do you really not know it, or are you just feigning it?”
“Feigning it?” Lin Jiage frowned for a mont before replying, “The only exam I ever rembered was the National College Entrance Examination. Other than that, I don’t really pay attention to anything else…”

“Then what if you forgot about your examination?”
Shi Yao was only asking this question casually, but who could have thought that Lin Jiage would nod his head earnestly and reply, “That did happen once before. I forgot about one of my examinations on my Year 1 Sester 2, and it was only when my lecturer gave a call did I know about it. By the ti I rushed to the school from my ho, the exam duration has already passed the half-mark. Going by the rules, I should have been allowed to enter the examination venue, but luckily, the invigilator was quite close with my dad, so he allowed to enter. After that, I took half an hour to finish the paper and submitted it.”
Half an hour?
Nearly everyone in G University agreed that Lin Jiage was a genius who didn’t have any flaws at all, but if he only spent half an hour to finish his paper, his results should be quite disastrous, right?
Having finally managed to pick a flaw with Lin Jiage, Shi Yao blinked her eyes and asked curiously, “Did you manage to finish your paper then?”
, unable to finish my paper? Impossible!
Lin Jiage said playfully, “Give it a guess.”
Guess? Is he embarrassed about his poor results?
Shi Yao bit on her fingernails as she asked, “Were your results unsatisfactory?”
Unsatisfactory? Is this how little Soft Bun thinks about ?
Lin Jiage shook his head.
But before he could give away the answer, Shi Yao had already widened her eyes in realization as she exclaid, “I know! You failed the examination!”
“…” Lin Jiage fell silent.
It felt like he was trying to boast, but sohow the other party wasn’t getting his point at all.
With a deep sigh, he replied, “How is that possible? My results in G University have been straight A . I would have been fine for that examination even if I only had 20 minutes left. Let put it this way for you, I spent 14 minutes 30 seconds to finish answering the entire paper. The reason why I forgot about the examination in the first place was because it was nothing more than a few fill-in-the-blanks and multiple-choice questions, so I didn’t pay it much heed.”
So… he didn’t get to guess the outco because he did badly for the examination, but he was trying to boast about how smart and incredible he is?
Shi Yao had to stroke her chest a few tis before she finally managed to soothe the trauma coming from the realization of the unbreachable gap between an ordinary student and a genius.
Soon, the car stopped right beneath Shi Yao’s house.
She thanked Lin Jiage before she pushed the door open. It was then that Lin Jiage suddenly shouted for her, “Shi Yao!”
Shi Yao turned around to look at Lin Jiage.
Facing Shi Yao’s clear eyes, Lin Jiage’s heart suddenly thumped in nervously as he gulped down his saliva unconsciously. He said, “Are you free after the end-of-sester examinations?”
Shi Yao tilted her head slightly as she replied, “It’ll be the holidays then. Of course I’ll be free.”
“Then…” Lin Jiage lowered his gaze to look at the date and noted that it was the 23rd day of the month. So, he lifted his head and said, “30th is the second day of the break, right? May I ask you out that day?”
