"Was your health issue before the exam affecting your performance?"
"Not really, it's an old problem. I tend to have irregular meals, so my stomach isn't great," Chu Sheng casually mentioned, having already prepared this excuse.
"That's a relief. I thought it might have been due to poor hosting on my part," Zhong Yan said, folding his fan, and sighed softly, "It's a pity that we missed the academic exchange we had planned."
"If we had had a proper exchange, who knows, we might have done even better."
Chu Sheng shuddered slightly, inwardly bitter but showing a look of regret on his face, "That is truly regrettable. We'll just have to exchange ideas another time."
"However, there are still five days until the results are out, and other scholars have prepared a banquet. Do you have time to attend, Brother Chu Sheng?" Zhong Yan asked with a smile.
Chu Sheng did not want to spend time with Zhong Yan, especially on scholarly matters.
