Ethan Hayes pondered for a moment and then said to Liam Shaw, "Even though your score can't get you into Silverwood U, you definitely passed the basic first-tier university line. There are plenty of other major universities, you can choose whichever you like."
"But I only like Silverwood U." Liam Shaw looked at Ethan Hayes with longing eyes, "Silverwood U is where my Tanya is..."
"What if... you retake the year?" Ethan Hayes hesitated and suggested to Liam Shaw, "Retake the year, work hard, then try for Silverwood U next year?"
"No, no, no!!" Liam Shaw shook his head like a rattle, "By the time I get into Silverwood U next year, my Tanya will be in her third year, and I'd be two grades behind her, wouldn't I? She definitely wouldn't want to date a junior who's two years younger."
This was said without care, but heard with intent.
Ethan Hayes was slightly taken aback, wondering why he suddenly thought of Vivian York.
