Because Friday was the day of the examination, there were a lot less people who came right on time to class. With fifteen minutes left before the bell, about half of the students had come one another to the classroom.

    Lisa was sitting in her seat, slightly tilting her head to look at him. After listening to what Jungkook said, she was still a little confused.

    His eyes were fixedly staring at her, his thin lips pursed into a straight line. He had one hand placed on the table, his index finger tapping the desktop unconsciously, seemingly very concerned about her answer.

    He was…

    But what was she going to say… she already said she forgot ah.

    “…… “After holding her tongue for a moment, she felt the atmosphere couldn’t stay so deadlocked, “Senior, I didn’t deceive you…”

    “……” He didn’t say anything.

    Lisa persisted: “I really, just forgot. Then, when I remembered, I’d already left the dining hall. I was afraid I would take a long time trying to find my way here, so I didn’t go back to get…”

    “……” Still didn’t speak.

    Lisa had no moves left.

    Why was Senior all of the sudden… so childish today.

    She was frowning at the thought, when Jungkook suddenly gave an “ah” sound.

    She looked over. He only raised an eyebrow again, and his body also leaned forward a little, giving off an “I’m waiting” appearance.

    Lisa suddenly wanted to laugh a little.

    She looked away from him, but in her peripheral vision, her eyes swept to her own breakfast on the table.

    Jungkook unblinkingly watched the little girl’s every move, and saw her face expression abruptly brighten up a little.

    Hmm?

    He narrowed his eyes. Before he could do anything, some object made contact with his hand on the table.

    It was hard and angular.

    He momentarily froze. He subconsciously opened his hand to grab it and looked down.

   … A pink carton of milk.

    Strawberry flavored.

    He had seen this before. It was the kind of milk she’d been drinking for breakfast the past month.

    In his hand, it was obviously room temperature, but he inexplicably felt as if it had some residual heat from her hand.

    When he looked up again, her expression was a little embarrassed and her eyes were dodging around. Her white hand playing with her hair was particularly obvious amongst the black hair.

    Her voice carried a bit of tentativeness, “Senior, is it okay if you… drink this?”

    “……”

    Jungkook lowered his eyes to look at the little strawberry on the package then smiled.

    Forget it.

    Let’s forget it this time.

    “Okay.” Jungkook’s lips curved up, ” I like this too.”

    “……”

    Lisa’s eyes opened wide. Her eyelashes were long and fine, the pupils dark and limpid. The sight tickled his heart.

    He cleared his throat and was about to start drinking the milk—

    Suddenly it occurred to him that just now, she was also looking at others like this.

    And also called them Senior.

    If he didn’t show up, she might’ve even given some guy her WeChat.

    Jungkook’s mood was like a roller coaster; one second he was still pleased, and the next second, he wanted to grind his teeth.

    No way.

    Right now, it was necessary to do something different from usual, to overshadow her impression of that fool in her heart.

    Different from usual…

    He’d just said the sentence, “I like this, too” so the next sentence…

    Jungkook was ready to take advantage of this atmosphere that was just right to follow up with a suggestive sentence. He’d just opened his mouth, “I like everything you giv-“

    “Everyone, get ready and change seats. The middle seat should be empty like the last quiz.”

    “……” Fuck.

    “Senior?” Lisa wondered: “What did you just say? I didn’t hear you after Teacher Yang spoke.”

    “……”

    Jungkook’s sentence was stuck in his throat.

    Some words were simple to say in the moment, but after being interrupted, would be difficult.

    In the end, he only said “nothing” in a muffled voice.

    The exam would last an hour and a half, but those who finished early could turn in their papers early.

   From high school, Lisa had developed a habit when answering questions. Especially when taking exams, she didn’t pay attention to outside matters. Only A, B, and C existed in her mind, while the sound from the outside world was basically automatically blocked out.

    Yang Chuan came up with both difficult and easy questions. It was mainly multiple-choice questions so they didn’t need to write too many words and only needed to use their brains. She thought that she had a more comprehensive understanding. All the questions had been answered and though she wasn’t uncertain about anything, it wasn’t easy.

    Her head was bowed down for a long time. When she was done with the questions, she shook out her neck while looking around at her fellow classmates.

    There were only a few answering furiously. Most of them were sighing, or directly laying their head down on the table without even a pen in hand, seeming like they had given up.

    Lisa suddenly felt a little bit of joy.

    In fact, if not for Jungkook helping her review, maybe she would also be scratching her head.

    Thinking this, she turned her head to the right again to see her benefactor’s progress on the exam.

    She didn’t expect to meet his line of sight.
