Chapter 287: If There’s a Restaurant In the World Called Anything, It Would Surely Be Explosively Popular (1)

Translator: StarveCleric  Editor: Milkbiscuit

After Lin Jiage finally walked away, Shi Yao discreetly opened the note he had left on her table [H (Anything)]…

In the list of options she had written down, there was no H option! Lin Jiage was sidestepping the topic—not giving a proper answer at all.

If he were to take an examination with such an attitude, he would definitely score a zero.

If there was a restaurant in the world called anything, it would surely be explosively popular.

If…

Amidst Shi Yao’s wandering thoughts, the examination finally came to an end.

Following how they’d distributed the examination papers earlier, Lu Benlai was in charge of collecting the papers for the examinees closer to the door whereas Lin Jiage was in charge of collecting the papers for Shi Yao’s section.

In contrast to the amiable smile on Lu Benlai’s face, Lin Jiage’s expression was so nonchalant that he even appeared cold. It almost felt like he was a loan shark hounding down a debtor to pay up instead of an invigilator collecting the papers…

In the row on the right of Shi Yao’s—seated third from the back—sat a beautiful lady. Her appearance was classy and fashionable, especially with her honey tea hair, which happened to be the trendiest hair color this year. Her very presence seemed to naturally command attention.

Throughout the whole examination, Honey Tea Hair had raised her hand a total of three times, and each time her hand was up, her eyes would be completely focused on Lin Jiage. But to her disappointment, the one who approached her to resolve her problems was Lu Benlai every single time.

Lu Benlai first started collecting the papers from Honey Tea Hair’s row. Most examinees left the examination hall right after their paper had been taken, but Honey Hair Tea remained on her desk, whipping out her compact mirror to check on her appearance and to touch up her lips. Even when most of the people around her had already left, she still continued to remain in the examination hall.

On the other hand, Lin Jiage started collecting the papers from the row closest to the windows whereas Shi Yao was seated more toward the center. Making a swift calculation, she would be the fourth last examinee which Lin Jiage would be collecting the examination paper from.

Not too long later, the examination hall was already three-quarters empty, but Honey Tea Hair still remained seated in her chair, seemingly busy with something.

When Lin Jiage was collecting the paper from the third seat from the back of Shi Yao’s row, the seat directly left of Honey Tea Hair, Honey Tea Hair turned her head and directed a radiant smile at Lin Jiage. Right in front of the other students still in the classroom, she spoke up without any reservations, “Senior Lin, do you have some time later on?”

It was hard to tell whether Lin Jiage hadn’t heard her words or that he was feigning deafness, but he swiftly snatched the examination paper from the hands of the examinee seated next to Honey Tea Hair before moving on to the next student.

Honey Tea Hair wasn’t discouraged by Lin Jiage’s actions though. “Senior Lin, if you’re busy right now, I can wait till you’re done collecting the papers…”

But before Honey Tea Hair could finish her words, Lin Jiage, who had finally reached Shi Yao’s side at this point in time, suddenly spoke up, “Wait for me later. It’ll take me roughly ten minutes…”

Shi Yao instantly knew that Lin Jiage was referring to her treating him to a meal, but this didn’t seem like an appropriate moment, especially since Honey Tea Hair was talking to him… She subconsciously turned her head to shoot a glance towards Honey Tea Hair.

I’m talking to you, so what are you turning away for?

The frowning Lin Jiage used the stack of papers in his hand to lightly pat Shi Yao’s right cheek, conveniently blocking her view of Honey Tea Hair while he was at it. “Did you hear what I said?”

Slightly scratched by the papers, Shi Yao puffed up her cheeks and glared at Lin Jiage angrily, “I heard you!”

Acting cute again…

Lin Jiage couldn’t resist patting Shi Yao’s head with the papers once more before moving on to collect the remaining three papers ahead. After which, he headed to the podium and combined his stack of papers together with Lu Benlai’s before sealing them into a confidential file.

Lin Jiage had said ten minutes, but in truth, he spent less than five minutes delivering the papers to the staff room and returning back to the examination hall where Shi Yao was at.
