[Ji Siyue]: I'm really sorry, senior. I'm truly sorry. I did think about this matter before, but somehow I ended up forgetting it.
[Senior]: So what are you going to do now?
[Ji Siyue]: Come to see you.
Ji Siyue almost sent this message uncontrollably. It was indeed the most intuitive thought in her mind.
Although she regretted it a bit after sending it, thinking it might not be quite appropriate, a reply came quickly from the other side.
[Senior]: It's getting late.
Just when Ji Siyue thought he was going to reject her, he sent another message.
[Senior]: Don't come out. I'll come to you.
Seeing the message, a smile immediately spread across Ji Siyue's face. She didn't care whether what she said was appropriate or not.
She sat up as quickly as if she had been jolted out of a sickbed, trying to make as little noise as possible. She put on her clothes and quietly slipped out.
When she went out, Tian Cheng sat up in bed and gave her a look. A flicker of doubt flashed in her eyes, but in the end she said nothing, just closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
When Ji Siyue ran downstairs, it was drizzling outside. She didn't even bring an umbrella, so she could only stand there stupidly in the rain.
After a while, Qin Chengyao arrived.
He also didn't bring an umbrella and ran in a hurry. When he saw Ji Siyue standing there stupidly in the rain, he was both angry and helpless for a moment.
"I came in a rush, so it's okay that I didn't bring an umbrella. But why didn't you bring one either?"
"I was afraid you'd be anxious." Ji Siyue scratched her head and said shyly.
After the two looked at each other across the iron railing, all the estrangement and the inexpressible words in their hearts these days vanished in an instant.
Ji Siyue tightened her clothes. Qin Chengyao could tell she was cold and quickly said, "It's cold outside. Go back quickly."
"What about you?"
"I'll go back soon too."
"Will we see each other again?" Ji Siyue's question sounded a bit silly, but neither of them seemed to realize it at the moment.
Ji Siyue asked seriously, and Qin Chengyao answered even more seriously.
"Of course we will. I'll come to find you tomorrow morning and take you to the exam venue."
Ji Siyue smiled.
"Okay."
When Ji Siyue turned around to go back to the dormitory building, Qin Chengyao still stood there watching. He didn't turn around and leave silently until her figure was out of sight.
After sleeping for a whole night, Ji Siyue felt full of energy. The exam didn't seem to be so stressful anymore. Could it be because she met Qin Chengyao last night?
She got up early. Before breakfast, she went through the key knowledge in the History of Chinese Literature that Professor Ouyang gave her one more time, and then walked out with the other girls in the dormitory.
Qin Chengyao was standing outside the dormitory building. When the others saw him standing there, they all walked forward in unison, leaving Ji Siyue alone. Ji Siyue understood what they meant. She smiled and didn't catch up. Instead, she walked towards Qin Chengyao.
"Have you had breakfast?" Qin Chengyao asked.
"Not yet. I was just about to go with my roommates."
"Then eat this."
As he said, Qin Chengyao took out a paper bag from behind him. It was giving off a puff of steam.
"These are steamed buns, soy milk and eggs. It's an exam day today. Eat this instead of the school's hamburgers."
Ji Siyue felt a warmth in her heart. She reached out to take it and said with a smile, "Thank you, senior!"
"Is the exam venue in the Vince College?"
"Yes. It's a bit far away. I'll call a taxi later and we can go together."
Speaking of their school's exam system, Ji Siyue really didn't know what to say.
University A was divided into several campuses, and each campus was divided into several colleges, all in different locations. The Vince College where she was assigned for this exam was not on the same campus or in the same college. It would take more than half an hour to walk there, so it was better to take a taxi.
"Are you silly? I have a car. Why do you need to take a taxi by yourself?"
Ji Siyue thought of Qin Chengyao's extremely eye - catching Ferrari and was speechless.
It was her exam day today. Was it really okay to be so high - profile?
But after thinking for a while, she still nodded and said, "Thank you, senior."
"Let's go."
When they got to the school parking lot, Qin Chengyao opened the door for Ji Siyue himself.
After getting in the car and starting to drive, Ji Siyue suddenly seemed to remember something and asked,
"Senior. I haven't asked you yet. Aren't you taking the exam today?"
"I've been recommended for further study. It doesn't matter whether I take the school exam or not. I mainly came to see you off today."
"Hiss..." Ji Siyue grinned uncomfortably.
Sure enough, this was the world of the big shots. After being recommended, they didn't even need to take such an important final exam, while she had been studying in a muddle just to avoid failing.
Maybe seeing Ji Siyue's disappointment, Qin Chengyao reached out his hand and ruffled her hair messily: "You don't need to be disappointed. You weren't that good at studying in high school either. I've been studying like crazy since the first grade. I only got a bit more relaxed after entering university."
"However, senior, I want to ask you something. Were we really friends in high school? I once had a dream. In the dream, I seemed to give you a Pikachu... I can't remember the rest clearly."
Hearing this, Qin Chengyao suddenly stepped on the accelerator and stopped the car.
When he turned to look at Ji Siyue, his eyes were even slightly red.
"Do... do you remember?"
Seeing his such a strong reaction, Ji Siyue was also a bit startled.
"I... I just had this dream a few times. I dreamed of a very strange person... I'm not sure if that person was you, but I always feel that you seemed to be a very special existence to me in high school."
Qin Chengyao took a sudden deep breath, closed his eyes, and a faint smile slowly appeared on his lips.
"That's enough. This is enough."
"What?"
"I said this is enough. It's already enough to remember these."
"...Let's talk about this later. We'll be late for the exam. Take me there first."
"Okay."
The car started moving again, but this time both of them seemed to feel a bit unsettled in their hearts.
