Just like that, through his effective multitasking, Lin Jiage successfully crafted his message and sent it over to Shi Yao.
In order to ensure that Shi Yao had sufficient time to read his message, he deliberately slowed down the speed of his reply to the French lecturer’s question even further.
He even paused in the midst of his reply, feigning as if he was deep in thought.
It was only when he thought it was about time for Shi Yao to finish studying the content of the message did he finish his answer concisely.
“Not bad. However, your reply was a little long and can be made more concise in some areas,” the French lecturer commented on Lin Jiage’s answer.
Without gesturing for Lin Jiage to take a seat, he turned his sights to Shi Yao and asked, “Shi Yao, what about you? Do you have an answer to my question yet?”
With a slight nod of her head, Shi Yao, in her own words, reiterated the contents of the message Lin Jiage sent her.
Her short-term memory was decent but not perfect, resulting in a couple of hiccups in her answer.
Nonetheless, the French lecturer did not make things difficult for her. He quickly corrected her mistakes before prompting her to sit down.
Shi Yao let out a sigh of relief and sat down. As she placed aside her phone, which she had been been gripping tightly earlier, she noticed a sheen of perspiration cloaking the screen.
That was so nerve-racking! It was the first time she had cheated in her entire life…
After Shi Yao settled in her seat, the French lecturer turned his attention back to Lin Jiage and continued firing questions at him in French,
Unfazed, Lin Jiage replied those questions calmly in fluent French.
This exchange went on for another five to six times before the French lecturer finally allowed Lin Jiage to sit down.
This incident passed quickly and the French lecturer proceeded on with the lesson.
He Tiantian waited till the attention of the French lecturer had been shifted away from them before leaning toward Shi Yao and whispering, “Yaoyao, you were amazing earlier! The long croaking of the French lecturer just now was like an excerpt from some ancient mantra, but you were able to translate it! Even though you took a little long, it was still very impressive! My Yaoyao is almost like those overpowered female leads who are strong in every aspect!”
Hearing her words, cold sweat trickled down Shi Yao’s forehead.
How am I like those overpowered female leads in novels and dramas?
The one who is truly overpowered is the fellow sitting behind her! He could actually solve her problem even while answering the question posed to him. There is probably no one else in the world who can multitask as well as him!
Frightened at the notion of being summoned by the teacher for a second time, Shi Yao did not reply He Tiantian. Instead, she secretly sent two messages to Lin Jiage.
[Thank you.]
[It was such a nerve-racking situation just now. I thought I was going to get punished!]
Not long after, she received Lin Jiage’s reply: [It was nothing. You are welcome.]
Shi Yao responded with a smiley emoji.
A second later, she suddenly recalled of the conversation Lin Jiage had with the French lecturer.
As it was all in French, she did not catch the content of their conversation. She couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked, “What did the French lecturer ask you earlier?”
Lin Jiage: [Do you want to know?]
Shi Yao: [Yup.]
Lin Jiage: [I am not telling you.]
Shi Yao: “…” How could a person be so annoying?!
The feelings of gratitude toward Lin Jiage vanished so quickly that Shi Yao couldn’t help but doubt if it had really happened.
At this time, Shi Yao’s handphone vibrated once more. It was a text from Lin Jiage.
[If you really want to know, I can tell you in the future.]
A second after she finished reading the message, the class bell rang, signaling the end of the lesson.
Just as Shi Yao was pondering as to how she should respond to Lin Jiage’s message, the latter suddenly stood up. Placing his hands on the table, he leaned forward towards Shi Yao and whispered with a mysterious tone, “Don’t worry, you won’t have to wait too long for this future…”
[Author’s note: Remember to pay attention in class because you are not Shi Yao. You don’t have a Lin Jiage to support you. Heh.]
