"Why are you Lu Yibei's junior? Do you study at night? Or did you take a leave of absence? What was the reason for the leave of absence? Was you sick?" Lu Chaoxi asked.
Lu Yibei was just about to answer this question on behalf of his girlfriend.
Ji Qingqian opened her mouth and said, "—Retake the exam."
So it seems that Ms. Lu really didn't have time to investigate her... because her grandparents didn't know about her repeating a grade either.
She chose to repeat her senior year in Jiangnan because of Abei.
For her, her first attempt at the college entrance exam wasn't a dark chapter in her life, but simply the path she had taken.
But she has hardly ever talked about this with anyone else in detail.
She knew, of course, how difficult it was back then, and she knew that even with her eloquence, she could describe the arduous journey in just a few words.
She made others think she was amazing and that they liked Ah Bei.
But she didn't want to say.
This was just a little bit of arrogance belonging solely to Ji Qingqian.
She was unwilling to share with others, nor did she want to elicit their sympathy.
To gauge how much she likes Ah Bei, we shouldn't look at her past actions, but rather at her future actions.
Just two words seemed a bit too brief, so Ji Qingqian added:
"...My first exam results weren't very good."
After Ji Qingqian finished speaking, Lu Yibei looked at Lu Chaoxi.
Lu Chaoxi looked at Ji Qingqian.
Lu Yibei felt that Lu Chaoxi would ask Ji Qingqian other questions—such as "Why did you have to come to Jiangnan?"
But Lu Chaoxi didn't ask; she could get a lot of answers just by looking into the girl's eyes.
So Lu Chaoxi just hummed in response.
She continued to look at Ji Qingqian, and after a few seconds, said calmly, "I want to talk to you privately."
Lu Yibei was unhappy about this:
"Why can't we say things to each other's faces?"
Lu Chaoxi replied, "You can't listen to that."
"What can't I hear?"
"Things I can't say to your face."
Lu Yibei: ...
Ning has mastered the art of repeating himself to perfection.
But Lu Yibei remained firm on this point.
No matter what his mother says, he will never let his girlfriend talk to her privately—although it shouldn't cause any major problems, even small problems are still problems.
No matter where they went, Lu Yibei would never let the two of them be alone together.
Ms. Lu saw through Lu Yibei's thoughts.
Since that was the case, she could only hum in agreement and stand up.
Just as Lu Yibei was feeling helpless against his mother's tough attitude and was about to leave, she said calmly, "I need to use the restroom."
She then glanced at Ji Qingqian, who was still sitting.
Lu Yibei: ...
Holy crap!!
