So, the question arose: what was Yao Yi up to with this business of withdrawing and retaking the entrance examination?
It seemed he discerned Su Yan's confusion, for Yao Yi explained somewhat mysteriously, "It's because my family has some connections, so I managed to get the opportunity to withdraw and retake the exam. Don't tell anyone about this, okay?"
Su Yan said, "Don't worry, I'm not the type to snitch."
Seeing Su Yan respond this way, Yao Yi relaxed.
He'd almost wanted to give himself a couple of good slaps—why on earth had he blurted out something like that? It looks like I'll need to speak slower in the future, think thrice before acting, and avoid impulsively spilling everything.
Having come to this conclusion, Yao Yi spoke up again, "By the way, Su Yan, you still haven't told me if you're confident about winning the Freshman Competition."
"Winning the Freshman Competition, huh..."
