329 Fathoming the Young Master’s Heart Is Like Searching For a Needle Amidst the Endless Ocean 1 (1/2)

Upon catching sight of Lin Jiage, Shi Yao's scoldings trailed to a halt. With a voice that was audibly much softer and tender than before, she asked, ”You are awake?”

”Un,” Lin Jiage replied, ”Sorry, I fell asleep before I realized it.”

”It's fine…” Shi Yao replied with a slight smile. ”... Is your stomach feeling alright now?”

Lin Jiage nodded before falling silent.

Shi Yao took a pencil to poke Gu Nanqiang's head, urging him to focus on the paper.

Gu Nanqiang indignantly raised his hand to rub his head, but he still turned his eyes back to the English paper.

After explaining one of the questions, Shi Yao casually turned her head to the side, and all of a sudden, she found herself meeting eyes with Lin Jiage, who had actually been staring at her intently all this while.

The hand which Shi Yao held her pencil with quivered for a short while before she finally said the words that she had been wanting to say all this while, ”Um, shall we go out to eat? My dad and mum went for a holiday just two days ago, and there's nothing to eat at home.”

Without any thought whatsoever, Lin Jiage instantaneously replied with a ”Sure”.

The trio had their lunch at somewhere not too far away from Shi Yao's home.

Of course, how could one have a meal with others without holding a conversation? As such, after taking a seat, Lin Jiage began searching for topics to chat about.

Recalling how Gu Nanqiang was doing papers even though it was the weekends, he thought that the young man's results shouldn't be too bad. Thus, he decided to use this topic to kickstart the conversation, ”Given how diligent Nanqiang is, his results must be quite good, right?”

”In the mock exam earlier this month, out of a total score of 750, he got 0.” Before Gu Nanqiang had a chance to respond, Shi Yao had already chirped in. ”It's to supervise his studies that I had to come back home.”

Ah... Did I get the wrong topic?
