Chapter 902: Because of you (2)
“Now that I think about it, I haven’t eaten roasted sweet potatoes in many years... the last time I did so was during my freshman year in high school...”
“It was also during the winter. There was an old man selling roasted sweet potatoes at the entrance of our school every day. I heard that his wife was sick, so I relied on selling sweet potatoes to buy medicine for her husband. At that time, I thought that he was quite pitiful. Every night, he would buy a sweet potato for his self-study session, and then... After that...”
Speaking of which, she started stuttering,”... After that, there was a boy from the class next door. He was chasing after me, so I don’t know how he found out about this habit of mine, so he gave me roasted sweet potatoes three times a day. If I didn’t want them, he would throw them away. You should know that I have always respected food, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat them. But... you can’t resist eating a few pieces of roasted sweet potatoes every day, right? I told that boy a few times not to give me roasted sweet potatoes again, but he refused to listen to me. In the end, I couldn’t take it anymore, so I came up with a solution. Every time he gave me roasted sweet potatoes again, I would return the favor and tell him that it was a token of my appreciation. Then, within a week, he would hide from me...”
“Do you know what I gave him in return?”
Shi Yao raised her head and glanced at Lin Jiage. Without waiting for him to speak, she burst into laughter before saying,”... it’s stinky tofu, Haha...”
Hearing Shi Yao’s answer, Lin Jiage couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
As Shi Yao walked past the trash can, she tossed the roasted sweet potato bag into the trash can and held onto Lin Jiage’s arm as they continued walking forward, after which, she said, “Now that I think back on it, I feel like a lot of things in high school were pretty funny...”
“Let me tell you, Lin Jiage, there was a boy who once chased after me, so I stayed in high school. After that, that boy planted cotton candy all over a tree in front of our dormitory. Now that I think about it, doesn’t that sound rather romantic? “But, do you know how embarrassing I felt back then..
“When I was in my second year of high school, I got addicted to Soda, and a lot of guys gave me soda. That semester, I saved up several hundred bottles, and in the end, I used those bottles to exchange for a few dozen Yuan and bought a lot of snacks..
“The best time I ever did was during the first half of my third year of high school, Qixi Valentine’s Day. I received sixty-eight love letters...”
“...”
Shi Yao’s words didn’t stop there. She was still recounting some of the more interesting things she remembered from the past, she couldn’t help tilting her head to look at Lin jiage, “Lin Jiage, what about you? Did you encounter many interesting things in your middle school and high school as well?”
“No.”
“There must be. Tell me about it... I beg you... Lin Jiage...”
“Alright, Alright, Alright. Don’t make a sound yet. Let me think for a moment...”
Shi Yao obediently shut her mouth, raised her head, and stared at Lin Jiage with eyes filled with anticipation.
Half a minute later, Lin jiage spoke up, “I won the first prize in the violin competition on behalf of my school in the first grade.”
“I won the first prize in the second grade in all of Beijing in Olympiad Mathematics.”
“I was the first in China in the fourth grade in Olympiad Mathematics.”
“I tried to do the middle school entrance examination in the first grade, but I was one point short of full marks in mathematics.”
“I got a full mark in the middle school entrance examination, and I received an acceptance letter from an American University in the first grade. In the second half of the second grade, I represented my school in the Olympiad Mathematics Competition in Japan...”
