I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father - Chapter 21

[Chapter 21 The New School]

“No.” Gu Xi subconsciously denied it.

Meeting Gu Shao’s gaze, he bit his lower lip, struggled for a while, and then whispered, “Just a little bit.”

“It’s not afraid, it’s just…” Gu Xi thought about it and said, “Nervous? The

expression in Gu Shao’s eyes loosened a bit, and he said, “Don’t be nervous, don’t be afraid.”

“At the new school, you can do what you want to do, and what you think you should do. Get along well with your classmates, But you don’t need to pay too much attention to the opinions of others. Do you understand?” Is

Gu Shao teaching her how to face the new environment?

Gu Xi was surprised and listened to Gu Shao again: “If you encounter those things that happened in the school before, and you can’t handle it, you can tell me, and I will help you deal with it.”

Gu Shao’s voice was flat. But it warmed Gu Xi’s heart, her eyes were astringent, as if they were blocked by something.

Seeing Gu Xi’s unbelievable face, Gu Shao’s heart sank: Although Gu Xi has always behaved normally, it is clear that the actions of the Lin family have subtly left a lot of shadows in Gu Xi’s heart. So much so that Gu Xi maintained a deep vigilance against the outside world.

When encountering something, Gu Xi can always think of how to solve it by his own strength, but when encountering something that he cannot solve, Gu Xi learns to forbear.

This is not what a fourteen-year-old should have.

Gu Shao put down the document in his hand, walked in front of Gu Xi, touched Gu Xi’s head, and said, “I am your parent, these are my obligations.”

Gu Xi opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say, just dazed Look at Gu Shao.

“Go to sleep.”

“Okay.” Gu Xi raised a smile at Gu Shao.

“Hee hee.” This smile was trying to hide a trace of redness from the corner of his eyes.

Gu Xi ran back to the room, buried herself under the covers, and rubbed her face on the soft, scented pillow, and rubbed off the ‘golden beans’ in her eyes.

——The

next day, Gu Shao dismissed a report meeting at University A in the morning, and personally sent Gu Xi to the school and to Gu Xi’s new head teacher.

Gu Xi discovered that her class teacher was actually the teacher Chen who was in charge of invigilating her own test that day, so she said hello to the other party.

Gu Shao nodded towards Teacher Chen, and said, “Teacher please,” and handed the person over to Teacher Chen.

“Professor Gu, don’t worry, Gu Xi has no problem with us. If anything happens, we will contact your parents as soon as possible.” Teacher Chen said.

After seeing Gu Shao away, Teacher Chen looked at Gu Xi with excitement.

——The reason why Gu Xihui was assigned to her class was because she tried her best to ‘snatch’ it over.

After finishing the test that day, Teacher Chen couldn’t help but be surprised when she saw Gu Xi’s score.

Then, he first tried to find the grade director and asked Gu Xi to be assigned to their 7th class.

Originally, Teacher Chen only thought that Gu Xi was a good student with good grades. It was not until yesterday that Gu Xi’s student status was transferred and she read Gu Xi’s information that she remembered the identity of this student.

No wonder she said that the word ‘Lin Xi’ looked familiar. Isn’t this child the first in the grade before the ‘opposite’ school!

The open and secret battles between several first-class middle schools in City B have never stopped, so the teachers on Liming Middle School paid much attention to the competition results, joint entrance examination results, and the situation of a few top students.

The annual comprehensive autumn joint entrance examination is an examination jointly conducted by several first-class schools in City B, which has formed a tradition over the years.

In the past ten years, almost every year they have come out on top.

Prior to this, the number one place for nine consecutive years was in their A University Affiliated High School, except last year.

The one who ended their winning streak in the high school affiliated to University A was a top student named ‘Lin Xi’ from Liming International Middle School.

Teacher Chen never dreamed that the top student in the competing school would actually become a student in her class.

Originally, they already had a student god in Class 7, and now they add a cherish, it’s not too miraculous.

Teacher Chen now seems to have seen all kinds of bonuses and interviews rushing towards her.

Teacher Chen looked at Gu Xi with a ‘kind’ smile.

“Gu Xi, let’s go, I’ll take you to the classroom.”

——When

Teacher Chen and Gu Xi arrived in the classroom, the class just finished their morning self-study.

Originally, there was a lot of noise in the classroom, but when the head teacher arrived, everyone instantly became quiet.

However, when he saw Gu Xi who walked into the classroom right after him, the classroom became lively again.

“Look, look, is that a new classmate?” A person raised his voice.

As the man’s words fell, the eyes of others also focused on Gu Xi.

“The new classmate’s appearance is good!”

“Are you sure this is the Xueba that Teacher Chen said yesterday?” I always felt that the new classmate’s appearance had nothing to do with the word ‘Xueba’.

“Old Chen didn’t say that he wanted a school flower yesterday.” Someone replied.

While everyone was chatting, Teacher Chen coughed: “Quiet, don’t delay your studies in the next class!”

As soon as the head teacher said this, the class gradually became quiet.

So, the head teacher brought Gu Xi to the podium again, and introduced: “This is Gu Xi, who is newly transferred to our class. I already said it yesterday…”

Before Mr. Chen finished speaking, another person shouted from below. With a sigh: “woc, it’s really her.”

说话的人不出意外地被陈老师瞪了一眼。

见那人缩了缩脖子，闭上了嘴，陈老师才又道：“新同学刚到我们学校，还有很多不熟悉的地方，大家下来多交流。”

此刻，陈老师心里想的其实是让班里那帮让她操碎了心的学生多和人家学霸交流交流，找点拔高成绩的方法。

说罢，陈老师又看向顾惜，指了指班里的一个位置，道：“顾惜，你就去那边做吧。”

顾惜顺着班主任指的方向看过去，在第三排的位置上，那里正好有一个空位。

看样子好像是提前空了出来的。

顾惜点点头，顶着周围好奇的目光走到了那个位置上。

讲台上，班主任又交代了几句，才转身离开，将教室让给了一会儿要上课的科任老师。

——

这边，顾惜刚刚在位置上坐下，还没来得及把东西放好，同桌的女生已经热情地凑了过来。

“你叫顾惜，是哪个xi啊？晨曦的曦吗？”女生问道。

“不是，”面对对方带着友好的询问，顾惜笑笑，解释道：“是珍惜的惜。”

“啊，搜嘎，”女生也笑笑，自我介绍道：“我叫董茗茗，草字头一个名字的名。”

“你好。”顾惜对对方说道。

“嘿嘿，你也好。”

“你不用紧张啊，我们班很和谐的，等一会儿课间的时候，我再挨个给你介绍一遍。”董茗茗说道。

顾惜点点头，表示感激——感觉这位董茗茗同学就是一个自来熟。

“对了，”想到什么，董茗茗又凑近了顾惜问：“你真的是学霸吗？”

Hearing the other party’s question, Gu Xi was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

“Why do you ask that?”

“Ah, that’s right, you don’t know, you didn’t come yesterday, and Lao Chen came to our class first and said that he wanted to transfer a new classmate, so that everyone should take good care of the new student. Classmates study.”

“You don’t know, if old Chen said that, the new classmates must be the masters of learning.” Dong Mingming said.

Especially when Teacher Chen was talking about this yesterday, the smile on his face was similar to the fact that his class won the first place in the whole grade this time.

“There is also this position, which Lao Chen asked to transfer yesterday.” Before the new classmates arrived, this arrangement was already appropriate.

Hearing this, Gu Xi suddenly realized: No wonder she felt the reaction of the others in the class, and this empty seat was… quite abrupt.

“So, are your grades really good?” Dong Mingming asked curiously.

“Not bad.” Gu Xi was not humble.

“Hey, that’s good, so we can help each other and join forces.”

“By the way, the next class is Chinese, and then there are physics, mathematics and English this morning. Did you bring your textbooks?” Dong Mingming asked again asked with concern.

“Bring it.” Yesterday, the school sent the curriculum to Gu Shao, and then Gu Shao gave it to her.

As Gu Xi said, she turned her head and prepared to open her schoolbag.

At this time, Dong Mingming, who was next to him, seemed to have suddenly discovered something very miraculous. He tilted his head in surprise and approached Gu Xi: “Gu Xi, I found your iris color is amazing.”

Dong Mingming changed a few more times.

Look at it from a different angle and make sure you’re not wrong.

Gu Xi’s iris is light brown, you can’t see any difference if you don’t pay attention, but if you look carefully, you will find that it is slightly different from most people’s.

“Did you bring beauty contact lenses?” Dong Mingming asked.

“No, it’s this color, inherited from my father.” Gu Xi explained, the corners of his mouth raised a little unconsciously.

After all, Gu Xi took out a few textbooks from her schoolbag.

These are new books.

The textbooks used in Liming Middle School were kept at home, and these were prepared for her by Gu Shao.

Although they are all the same textbook, but now she is not ‘Lin Xi’.

Gu Xi opened the first pages of the book one by one, and carefully placed the word ‘Gu Xi’ on it.

“Your handwriting is so beautiful.” Beside him, Dong Mingming said.

What was going to be said, but seeing that the language teacher had walked in and looked directly at them, Dong Mingming immediately closed his mouth cowardly.

At this time, the gun was the first bird, and she didn’t want to be picked up by the language teacher early in the morning to memorize yesterday’s text.

Dong Mingming silently moved back to her position and made a look like ‘Nothing happened, she has been reading obediently’, but she still sneaked out while the language teacher’s ‘death glance’ moved to other places. He reached over, pointed at Gu Xi’s textbook, and told her the text to be taught today.

——The

Chinese teacher started the class, and Gu Xi also returned his attention to the textbook.

The course progress here is similar to when she was in Liming Middle School before, and the teacher’s lectures are similar, so after getting used to it a little, Gu Xi has caught up with the new teacher’s rhythm.

——After

a class, taking advantage of the break, Dong Mingming began to point out the people in the class to introduce them to Gu Xi one by one.

Gu Xi also tried her best to remember the names and looks of these people in the class.

At this moment, a sudden noise in the classroom caught Gu Xi’s attention.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Xi asked Dong Mingming.

Dong Mingming also looked in the direction of the noise, then turned around and explained to Gu Xi: “Those people should be betting that the Cultivation Society will come to the classroom during the first class today.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi raised her eyebrows in surprise. : Does ‘Xiu Shen’ mean the students in this class?

‘Which class will come’…

Are classes so casual now?

Gu Xi complained in her heart, and then heard Dong Mingming say, “Seeing how excited they are, I guess Xiu Shen is coming soon.” Before Dong Mingming could finish his sentence,

he saw a tall figure leisurely walk into the classroom with a face on his face. The look on his face was as if he hadn’t woken up.

“Look, I’m right.” Dong Mingming muttered.

And the people over there became more lively.

——Gu

Xi looked at this man and paused: “Sheng Xiuyan?”

“You know him?” Dong Mingming asked.

Gu Xi shook her head: “I don’t know.”

It was just that I had seen this person during the school entrance test, and the head teacher seemed to call this person ‘Sheng Xiuyan’.

Hearing Gu Xi say that he didn’t know each other, Dong Mingming couldn’t help but start a science with her.

“Let me tell you, don’t look at Sheng Xiuyan’s condescending appearance. In fact, he is super awesome. He is a magical being like a textbook. He has a good family background, good looks, and grades…”

“Very good?” Gu Xi took the call and asked.

“Yes, that’s great. Otherwise, why do you think the name ‘Xiu Shen’ came from? Let me tell you, this guy is completely at the level of a scholar.”

“Do you know what my wish is?” Dong Mingming asked again.

“More than Sheng Xiuyan?” Gu Xi asked back.

Dong Mingming quickly shook his head: “How is that possible.”

“I just hope that one day, when I accidentally get second in the test, Sheng Xiuyan will miss the test.”

Seeing Gu Xi’s mouth twitching with a ‘you’re too exaggerated’ expression, Dong Mingming said again, knowing that the other party didn’t believe it. : “I’m not exaggerating, there is still a saying in our affiliated high school, there is no first place that Sheng Xiuyan can’t get, unless he doesn’t come to the exam.”

After that, Dong Mingming patted Gu Xi’s hand again: ” I’m telling you now that you definitely don’t have an intuitive feeling, and when you take the next monthly test, you’ll know what absolute suppression is.”

Gu Xi: “…”

After hearing Dong Mingming’s words, Gu Xi looked at Sheng Xiuyan again. A glance: How does she feel okay?

——On

the other side of the classroom, seeing Sheng Xiuyan coming to the classroom so early, the people around were all with expressions like ‘the sun hits the west side’.

“Brother Yan, why are you here so early today?” This is not scientific.

Sheng Xiuyan glanced at the man, coldly, and didn’t say a word – he couldn’t say that it was because no one in the group returned him yesterday, so he went to bed early and came here when he couldn’t sleep in the morning.

“Brother Yan, are you insomnia?”

“…”

Sheng Xiuyan stared at Wang Yankai in front of him with a look of disgust: “Why are you sitting here?”

“Old Chen, we have a new classmate in our class, Lao Chen. Just changed the seat.” After that, Wang Yankai said again: “By the way, Brother Yan, you didn’t come yesterday, so I don’t know.”

“We have a new classmate in our class, girl~”

Wang Yankai said so. Said, a few other people also came over.

“And it’s a good-looking girl, hehe.”

“Hey, brother Yan, look, it’s over there.” Someone pointed in the direction of Gu Xi.

–It’s not my business?

Sheng Xiu said in his heart.

However, he still glanced in the direction these people pointed.

Then, Sheng Xiuyan’s gaze stopped.

“Is it her?” The girl who took the monthly exam with him that day.

…

Here, a few people were just talking casually, but when they saw Sheng Xiuyan staring at the new classmates all the time, several people were blinded and looked at each other.

– wow!

what’s going on?

Why did Brother Yan stare at people for so long?

– Brother Yan seems to have not watched anyone for so long before.

—— Wouldn’t it be love, love at first sight?

shit.

When a few people were surprised, Sheng Xiuyan withdrew his gaze, and then met the gossip-filled eyes of the guys in front of him.

“Brother Yan, don’t you really like someone’s new classmate?” Someone asked in a low voice.

Sheng Xiuyan glanced at the other party with contempt, and threw out a sentence: “brain.”

Everyone: “…” Well, Brother Yan is still the same Brother Yan.

It was just a joke, and everyone didn’t care.

Soon the topic of conversation between the boys turned to other things.

“By the way, Brother Yan, I passed by the office the other day, and heard from Lao Chen that you made up for this monthly exam again? Is it true or false?” Zhou Bufan asked.

“It’s made up.” Sheng Xiuyan said.

As soon as these words came out, several people showed expressions of regret.

“Hey, this time my ranking is still from 378 to 377. Brother Yan, if you take the test like this, won’t I just go back to before liberation with one move.” Not

only Wang Yankai.

Due to Sheng Xiuyan’s absence from the exam, this time the grades of all grades have moved up one place in theory.

“Then I’m fine. I lost nearly 100 this time. When I went back, I was beaten by my parents in a mixed doubles match. Anyway, the fights were all over. There’s not much difference in the name bro.”

“But let’s be honest.

Yes, Brother Yan, did Chen tell you about your results this time? What is your ranking?”

“…” Sheng Xiuyan didn’t say anything.

“Isn’t it still number one? Could there be some surprises?”

Sheng Xiuyan still didn’t speak, but the expression on his face darkened a little to the naked eye.

——He looked at the grades and knew the rankings.

But surprisingly, his ranking is not the first, but the second in the grade.

He didn’t take the make-up exam before, and Sheng Xiuyan saw it when the school posted the monthly exam rankings for the whole grade: the first place was from Class 17, and the opponent’s score was more than 30 points lower than his later score.

If he is second.

Then there is only one possibility…

Sheng Xiuyan turned the straight line towards Gu Xi again: the only person who could possibly be taller than him is this person.

Others don’t know the real thoughts in Sheng Xiuyan’s mind. Seeing Sheng Xiuyan peeking at the new classmate unconsciously, everyone is stunned – it’s over, Brother Yan won’t really fall in love with the new classmate at first sight, right?

My brother is serious?

My brother fell?

…

Ignoring the inexplicable gazes of several people, Sheng Xiuyan withdrew his gaze, lay down, and went to sleep.

…

the day’s course is over.

For Gu Xi, the courses of several subjects were all adaptable, and it felt as if he had returned to the state he was in Liming Middle School.

When it was time for school, Gu Xi put away the textbooks one by one, then put on her schoolbag and got up and left.

Just two steps away, Gu Xi was held back by Dong Mingming, who was at the same table.

“Gu Xiaoxi, why are you so fast, wait for me.”

Dong Mingming grabbed Gu Xi while speeding up and stuffing the books and supplies into the schoolbag.

At the same time, he pretended to be sad and complained: “You don’t want to leave your dear roommate at the same table and run away alone.”

Because of Dong Mingming’s familiar temperament, he was the first day. At the same table, the two are already familiar with each other.

Hearing Dong Mingming’s words, Gu Xi suddenly froze.

“No…” After a pause, Gu Xi explained, “I was thinking about a problem just now.”

“What, that math question just now, why did I say it, and I counted it as 0.”

“Well.” Gu Xi answered vaguely. one sound.

She’s just used to it.

When I was in Liming before, because of those rumors, gradually no one was willing to talk to Gu Xi, and no one would go with her.

So, Gu Xi was used to it. As soon as she heard the bell for the end of get out of class, she quickly packed her things and went out alone.

Here, Dong Mingming has already packed up.

“Okay, let’s go.” Dong Mingming pulled Gu Xi up.

The two left the school all the way.

At the gate of the school, Dong Mingming saw the car coming to pick him up from a distance and greeted Gu Xi.

“My car is here, I’ll leave first, see you tomorrow.”

Gu Xi also waved at the other party.

——After saying goodbye to Dong Mingming, Gu Xi continued to walk towards the parking area on the east side of the school gate

.

Before going out today, Aunt Mei told her that a car would come to pick her up from school in the afternoon, and she sent the license plate number to her mobile phone. Gu Xi glanced around, but couldn’t find it.

…

After a few more steps, Gu Xi suddenly stopped.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, she seemed to feel that someone was following her behind her.
