After arriving at the exam venue, Qin Chengyao didn't get out of the car. Instead, after Ji Siyue got out, he rolled down the car window and said to her outside the car, "Come on and do well in the exam. I'll wait for you here."
"Senior, when I come out after the exam, I have something to say to you."
"Okay."
"Senior, don't you ask me why I have to wait until the exam is over?"
"You have something on your mind. Just wait until you've thought it through. Siyue, I'll never force you. Whether you want to say something or not depends entirely on you."
"......Okay. I got it. Then I'm going."
As she turned around and walked towards the exam hall, Ji Siyue felt as if she was filled with strength all over her body.
Yes, with such a gentle person behind her, why should she be so entangled?
During the exam, Ji Siyue didn't think about anything else but just tried her best to answer the questions. It turned out that the in - human study in the previous half - month was useful. For many questions, the answers just naturally came to her mind as she was writing, and she didn't feel hesitant at all.
After finishing the two morning exams, when she went out, she saw from afar Qin Chengyao's Ferrari parked there. Although it attracted a lot of attention, Ji Siyue thought that what she noticed most was the person sitting in the car.
She ran over in front of everyone, opened the car door, and got in.
"Senior, don't you ask me how the exam went?"
"I can tell from your expression." Qin Chengyao took out a can of chocolate milk from the side and handed it to her. "You've worked hard, little Siyue."
Ji Siyue took it with a smile. The sweet milk made her heart feel warm.
"Senior, now that the exam is over and I already have the answer in my heart, I don't even need to ask you."
"Is it related to me?" Although Qin Chengyao's words were a question, from her tone, he seemed quite certain.
"Yeah. It's related to you."
Ji Siyue had actually been thinking. Qin Chengyao had always been so nice to her. Was it just because they were high - school classmates?
If that was the only reason, she thought he didn't really need to go to such lengths.
After all, she herself didn't even remember those details from the past. If she continued to accept Qin Chengyao's kindness like this, she felt a bit guilty.
"What's your opinion of me?"
"I...... don't know."
"What do you want me to do?"
Although the car was already surrounded by people watching, he ignored them. His eyes were just fixed on Ji Siyue, never once relaxing.
"Do you think I'm good to you?" Qin Chengyao gradually guided Ji Siyue to answer his questions.
"What I'm entangled about is that you're too good to me. Senior, to be honest, I've never thought that I have anything attractive. But you've always been so nice to me, which makes me feel a bit uncomfortable... I feel unworthy of it."
Ji Siyue said with her head down. The more she talked, the more depressed she felt. But the more depressed she was, the more she wanted to tell him about this matter quickly.
"Senior, I know that saying these words may trouble you... But if you're still so nice to me, I may fall in love with you... I don't want to trouble you, senior."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Chengyao leaned over and directly pulled Ji Siyue into his arms.
At that moment, Ji Siyue felt as if all the blood in her body was about to freeze. She was extremely nervous.
All she could think about was - why did he hug her?
What was wrong with the words she said?
What did he really think of her?
"Se - senior?"
"Siyue..." Qin Chengyao's voice came out muffled from her neck. "We were lovers before, but you don't remember. I've been trying so hard to be good to you because I want you to fall in love with me again. So if one day you feel that you're about to fall in love with me, please don't resist this feeling. I'm begging you... I won't force you to be with me just because of our past. I just want you to follow your own heart again."
After hearing these words, Ji Siyue felt as if her mind was buzzing. She couldn't figure anything out.
What did it mean that they were boyfriend and girlfriend before? In her mind, the memory of Qin Chengyao was just that they knew each other. How did it turn out like this?
For a moment, she couldn't figure out what her emotions were.
Was it happiness? Excitement? Or fear?
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Qin Chengyao thought he might have scared her, so he quickly let go of her.
"I just didn't expect it... Senior, was I really your girlfriend before?"
"Yes. We were together briefly."
"Ah?" Ji Siyue was confused again.
"Don't you understand what I mean? I'm saying that we were together in high school."
As Qin Chengyao's words came out one by one, Ji Siyue felt as if someone had forcefully stuffed a lot of things that didn't belong to her into her mind.
She felt like a small boat in the Atlantic Ocean, drifting with the wind.
"My head hurts so much..."
Ji Siyue covered her head, and Qin Chengyao quickly grabbed her.
"Siyue! Siyue! How are you!"
Ji Siyue slowly closed her eyes and felt her consciousness starting to blur.
In her memory, something seemed to be gradually becoming clear.
"Siyue, how about we go to and from school together every day from now on? I'll pick you up!"
"Siyue, can you try to communicate with others? Don't always shut yourself in your own world."
"Siyue, can you be my girlfriend?"
"Siyue... I'm sorry."
"Siyue..."
Ji Siyue suddenly opened her eyes and found herself lying on the desk. The students coming and going had such kind and familiar smiles on their faces.
In a daze, she felt as if she had returned to high school.
No... this situation now really seemed just like in high school!
Ji Siyue felt instantly awake.
"Ji Siyue! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and throw your homework over. The homeroom teacher will collect it in the next class!"
"Hahaha, don't run!"
The familiar environment, the familiar playfulness among classmates, and the familiar smiling face getting closer and closer to her.
