The Beautiful Time With You

Lin Jiage looked at Shi Yao for a while longer before unwillingly averting his gaze elsewhere.

Soft Bun should be happy with this… She can finally refer to her notes with no worries now…

But in the end, Lin Jiage still felt a little troubled on the inside, so he would glance inconspicuously in Shi Yao's direction from time to time.

Hm? When did Soft Bun become so gutless? I'm not even looking at her anymore, but she's still too afraid to cheat?

A slight frown furrowed Lin Jiage's forehead. After a moment of pondering, he finally looked at the young man sitting in front of the podium with his arm supporting his lower jaw, nearly drifting to sleep—Lu Benlai.

Maybe this guy is stopping Soft Bun from referring to her notes?

Lin Jiage lowered his gaze contemplatively for a moment.

Since I've grudgingly decided to overlook Soft Bun this once, I should just overlook the whole thing to the very end…

With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage walked over to Lu Benlai's side and began 'awkwardly conversing' with him in a hushed voice.

In the midst of their strange conversation, Lin Jiage didn't forget to glance discreetly at Shi Yao every now and then.

The young lady was finally not looking at him anymore. With her pen in hand, she seemed to be scribbling something on a blank paper distractedly.

Is she doing that to hide the fact that she's secretly referring to her notes?

Who would've thought that on top of being a glutton, Soft Bun would be an actress too… Hmmm, Actress Bun. Surprisingly, that nickname has quite a nice ring to it…

Thinking up to this point, even Lin Jiage failed to notice the slight smile curling up on his lips.

On the other hand, Lu Benlai was seriously in the middle of discussing Math problems with Lin Jiage when he suddenly noticed the latter's abrupt smile. Perplexed, he asked, "Boss, what are you smiling for?"

Am I smiling?

Lin Jiage lifted his hand slightly to cover his lips. Clearing his throat, his expression immediately reverted back to its usual cold and aloof state. "It's nothing. Continue what you were saying…"

And as Lu Benlai resumed chatting about the topic, Lin Jiage sneaked another peek at Shi Yao for the nth time.

Judging from the present look on her face, it didn't seem like she was randomly doodling anymore but seriously writing something down… Is she finally starting to get down to work?

Lin Jiage intentionally averted his gaze away from Shi Yao while forcefully pressing Lu Benlai to discuss boring Math problems with him.

It wasn't until Shi Yao put down her pen that he finally ended his conversation with Lu Benlai. He leisurely made his way back to the windowsill and lazily leaned against it as he shifted his gaze onto Shi Yao.

Surprisingly, the young lady was looking at him… and more importantly, the hand that she'd placed on the table was actually waving lightly at him…

Is she calling me over?

Lin Jiage remained motionless on the spot, his eyes still glued to Shi Yao's face. However, as Shi Yao continued to beckon for him, he eventually put on a look of helplessness. With an attitude reminiscent of an invigilator walking down the rows to check on the students, he took one round around the room before eventually stopping by Shi Yao's side.

Shi Yao passed a very small folded paper to him.

This is… Did Soft Bun fail to find the answer in her secret notes, so she's looking to me for help?

As an invigilator, I'd be a sinner if I allowed her to do that!

On the other hand, after seeing that Lin Jiage wasn't taking the paper note, Shi Yao thought that he didn't see it. So, she pushed the note closer to Lin Jiage and even blinked at him to gesture for him to quickly accept it.

She's sending sparks at me again to seduce me…

Lin Jiage struggled internally for a second. Then, he swiftly glanced at his surroundings to confirm that no one was looking in this direction before discreetly reaching out his hand to sneak the paper note away, hiding it in his palm. After which, with an attitude that suggested that nothing had happened at all, he walked away from Shi Yao's table.
