Chapter 288: I’ll Treat You to a Meal

Lin Yi took the phone and called his number. He hung up after the call went through.

After saving his name on Jian Ai’s phone, Lin Yi took out his phone and saved Jian Ai’s number.

After exchanging numbers, Lin Yi looked at Jian Ai and said, “I haven’t thanked you for what happened before.”

Jian Ai helped him resolve his and Jian Yiyi’s matter. Since he didn’t know what method Jian Ai had used to make Jian Yiyi apologize to him and clarify the matter in front of so many people in the cafeteria, Lin Yi hadn’t thanked Jian Ai yet.

Lin Yi remembered this, but Jian Ai was stunned. After all, it had been a while since the incident happened. Hence, Jian Ai couldn’t react for a while.

“What happened before?” Jian Ai looked confused.

“About me and Jian Yiyi!” Lin Yi said.

Only then did Jian Ai understand. Then, she waved her hand indifferently. “I was thinking what that was. Anyway, it’s all in the past. Don’t worry about it.”

“That won’t do!” Lin Yi hurriedly said, “How about I treat you to a meal later?”

Lin Yi regretted it as soon as he said that. He beat his head silently.

This was too obvious!

As expected, Jian Ai raised her eyebrows at him. “I think you have an ulterior motive?”

Lin Yi’s face immediately turned red.

“I… I’m sorry…” Lin Yi’s heart thumped, and he immediately became nervous. He unexpectedly apologized.

Jian Ai saw Lin Yi’s panicked look and couldn’t help but laugh. “Why are you apologizing? I was just teasing you.”

Jian Ai stopped and said, “It’s okay to have a meal, but with everyone else together.”

Lin Yi nodded quickly. “Alright, no problem!”

Together, then. As long as Jian Ai was willing to agree, it was his chance.

The two of them entered the classroom together. The gossipy students could not help but look at them meaningfully.

Jian Ai returned to her seat, and Xia Qinghuan quickly moved closer to her. She asked excitedly, “What did the two of you talk about? Did Lin Yi confess?”

“What?” Jian Ai smiled helplessly. “Don’t worry about useless things!”

“He really didn’t?” Xia Qinghuan was reluctant.

Jian Ai shook her head. “No!”

“So useless!” Xia Qinghuan pursed her lips unhappily.

Jian Ai glanced at her and ignored her. At this moment, the form teacher, Sun Dasheng, entered the classroom with his textbook.

The noisy classroom instantly fell silent.

Sun Dasheng wore a pair of glasses and looked solemn. After he had walked to the podium, he said, “I have something to tell everyone.”

“At the end of this month, our city’s Mathematical Olympiad will be held. The City Education Bureau organized it. The school leaders take this very seriously and have decided to choose the students with outstanding results to represent the school in this competition.”

“Our Class One is the top class after the last monthly examination. Hence, the teachers hope that the students can participate in the competition enthusiastically. It will bring honor to the class and the school!”

“Each school has five slots. Students who represent the school will be chosen through the school’s internal competition!”

When they heard that it was a Mathematical Olympiad, the students were instantly disinterested. The content for this kind of competition was not written in books. The questions were especially difficult. Some students participated in it when they were in junior high, but they only got forty to fifty points.

After Sun Dasheng finished speaking, the classroom was silent. He knew that the class was not interested in participating.

He cleared his throat and said, “The students who are ranked in the city’s Mathematical Olympiad this time will have a saved record and receive bonus points for the college entrance examination! The students with the best results will star in the school’s upcoming promotional video! The promotional video will be broadcast on the provincial television station!”
