The Beautiful Time With You

Actually, the debate on the school forum started from the interview Shi Yao had after obtaining first place in the high jump event…

The member of the Media Club interviewing Shi Yao first asked, “It’s truly a surprise to see that Student Shi Yao is so adept at both running and jumping. Just out of curiosity, before making the jump, did you ever think that you would emerge as the champion?”

To that question, Shi Yao replied, “High jump is the event that I’m the most confident in. Since I can get first place in even the 10km marathon, it’s a given that I can do it for this event too!”

Just like in the first interview, the Media Club member interviewing Shi Yao was speechless for several seconds. They then asked her the same question given to the champions of each event, “After obtaining first place in the Women’s High Jump, I would like to ask what’s on your mind at this very moment.”

Shi Yao pointed to the fiery sun above and replied honestly, “The sun is really scorching hot. I think I’m already on the verge of turning into Mao Xue Wang ¹.”

Shi Yao had taken first place for two events, and her interviews for both of the events were spread through the forum, heralded to become classic quotes for this year’s G University’s Sports Meet.

It was just that, the thread related to Shi Yao’s interview response suddenly turned in a different direction later on. This was because someone had mentioned Lin Jiage, saying that he was also an existence that often spat out classic quotes.

On the year that Lin Jiage first came to G University, this was how he had introduced himself to his class: “Hi, I am Lin Jiage, the top scorer for the National Higher Education Entrance Examination in Beijing. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions, but do keep in mind that I’m very likely to ignore you.”

For the easter egg incident during the G University’s anniversary celebration, Lin Jiage said to Qin Yiran, “A confirmation through our gazes, she’s a person I don’t want to have anything with.”

As G University’s representative in a Mathematics competition, when faced with the provocations from a cheating competitor from another university, this was what Lin Jiage said: “I might not be a saint, but you’re the literal interpretation of scum.”

From the discussion of classic quotes, the users on the forum thread began to make comparisons between Shi Yao and Lin Jiage’s deeds. At the very end, an extremely busybody user compiled everything and created a new thread called[Shi Yao Vs Lin Jiage] .

From their studies to their National Higher Education Entrance Examination results, their accomplishments in G University to their victories in the Sports Meet, and their daily affairs… Even the confessions given to the two of them were dug out and compared!

However, as formidable as Shi Yao was, when faced against an opponent like Lin Jiage, she was still in a disadvantageous position.

There were two particular fields which Lin Jiage had completely thrashed Shi Yao in.

First was Lin Jiage’s results in Mathematics. He had practically achieved a full score for every single test whereas Shi Yao could barely scrape a pass.

The second was income. Lin Jiage’s estimated income had reached a frightening level whereas Shi Yao’s income since enrolling into G University was a big fat 0.

…

Ever since the affair with Qin Yiran, Xia Shangzhou grew addicted to browsing through the school forum whenever he was bored. Thus, when he saw the [Shi Yao Vs Lin Jiage] thread, the first thing he did was to share it with Lin Jiage.

Lin Jiage was in the middle of writing an e-mail, and as soon as he was done with the job at hand, he clicked on the link Xia Shangzhou had sent him.

Shi Yao Vs Lin Jiage… It’s actually my name and Soft Bun’s name together… It looks like G University’s forum threads are starting to have some class…

Thinking these thoughts, Lin Jiage clicked in to read the contents.

Ah? I actually wrecked Soft Bun through and through?

But again, considering how incredible I am, it’s perfectly normal that Soft Bun can’t compete with me…

But to be destroyed so tragically in the forum thread, is this going to leave any trauma on Soft Bun?

Staring contemplatively at the forum thread, Lin Jiage logged into the [1234567] account he had registered for himself back then and added another Vs component: [Shi Yao’s gluttony, Lin Jiage’s loss…]

Would ‘loss’ be a little too lacking in impact? After all, in terms of income, she’s earned a perfect zero since enrolling into G University, nowhere close to mine. I need something more to balance things out.
