I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father - Chapter 23

[Chapter 23 Participating in the Competition]

The next day, Gu Xi got into Gu Shao’s car again.

On the way to school, Gu Xi brushed her phone with her head down.

Yesterday, after she told [AAA] that she was willing to form a team, she sent her a few G’s of information to her convenience. It is said that they were the winning designs of similar competitions in recent years.

Right now, [AAA] is introducing these designs to her one by one in the group.

——On

the side, looking at Gu Xi who was holding the phone with his eyes fixed, Gu Shao’s eyes became serious.

“Don’t look at your phone in the car,” Gu Shao said.

In the past few days, Gu Xi has gotten used to Gu Shao’s stern attitude and won’t be as nervous as before, but after hearing what Gu Shao said, Gu Xi still stuck out her tongue secretly, and then obediently put away her phone.

Seeing this, Gu Shao withdrew his gaze.

After a while, Gu Shao suddenly asked again, “Do you want to enter NTN?” Gu

Xi: !

!

!

Suddenly, the whole person was like a bolt from the blue.

– Gu Shao know?

So he saw her composition?

Gu Xi’s expression froze: If there is a hole under the car now, she wants to get in and bury herself.

The composition itself is nothing, it’s just… too embarrassing.

Gu Xi couldn’t tell what this feeling was. It was probably that when he was a child, he quietly wrote things like ‘I love Mom and Dad’, ‘My dad is the best’, and ‘My mom is super beautiful’ in his diary. Unknowingly, one day I discovered that my parents actually ‘checked’ their diary every day.

Or send private messages to idols every day, thinking that idols don’t see themselves as tree holes at all, but one day, idols come back…

“Forget it.” Gu Xi whispered.

He subconsciously rubbed his hot ears, and then pretended to be nonchalant: “I just saw the report about NTN on my phone before, and I thought it was great, so I hope I can become a great person in the future, too. I can enter NTN.” After

that, Gu Xi smiled calmly at Gu Shao.

Hearing Gu Xi’s words, Gu Shao was noncommittal.

However, from the angle that Gu Xi couldn’t see, the corner of Gu Shao’s mouth was slightly drawn.

Soon, Gu Shao regained his serious expression and said to Gu Xi seriously: “NTN is not so easy to get into.”

This is a fact – unlike the talent training and research mechanism in universities, NTN almost represents the Chinese market. The most advanced technology, and the recruits are basically the top talents in the industry. Even the new recruits at the grassroots level have corresponding threshold requirements.

However, this is not what Gu Shao mainly wanted to say to Gu Xi.

“Your choice is up to you. Your future road is very long, but it is not limited to a certain direction.” Gu Shao said seriously.

In the past, when Gu Xi was in the Lin family, she studied hard, tried her best in everything, and got the best grades in the exam… All of this was largely because of her being a child, she hoped to get the approval of her parents.

Gu Shao is not sure whether Gu Xi’s goal of becoming the best scientific researcher and entering NTN is also to please adults.

However, with him, there is no need.

He doesn’t need a ruler to measure his child, and he doesn’t need her to make the ‘excellent’ in the eyes of the public to some extreme.

“You can do what you like.” Gu Shao said again.

Hearing Gu Shao’s words, Gu Xi was stunned for a moment, and when he understood what Gu Shao meant, his eyes flashed.

The next second, Gu Xi grinned at Gu Shao: “I see, but I didn’t lie, that’s what I like.”

As if afraid that Gu Shao would not believe it, Gu Xi emphasized again: “Really!”

This time, Gu Shao was stunned: If I remember correctly, girls of this age should like to sing, dance, draw, etc. Or dream of being a star or something.

This is the most common statement Gu Shao has seen on the Internet before.

Gu Shao glanced at Gu Xi, the seriousness and enthusiasm in the girl’s eyes at this time did not seem like a fake.

——Gu

Shao withdrew his gaze.

Thinking of the composition, I suddenly thought of the last composition I saw last night.

——Family…

Gu Shao lowered his eyes slightly.

Even though the content of the entire composition Gu Xi is mostly based on imagination, or is written with reference to the attitude of the Lin family towards Lin Anxin, which is far from the actual situation, but it is not difficult to see a child’s desire for family affection from the lines. Including the beautification of Zhang Cui, the grandmother, and Xu Jiaofeng, the grandmother in the composition.

Thinking of the phone call that the old man had asked Butler Zhou to call, Gu Shao thought about it and said, “This Mid-Autumn Festival, I will take you to Grandpa’s house.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi was stunned, and then she was surprised.

Before Gu Shao’s household registration book, he was the only one, and Gu Xi didn’t think much about it, and he never thought about the rest of the Gu family.

Suddenly hearing the other person mention the word ‘grandfather’, Gu Xi was shocked to realize that Gu Shao should have other relatives.

This point seems to be mentioned in the novel, but only a few words.

Probably after Gu Shao collapsed, something happened to his family too.

Although I haven’t seen it before, and there is no specific description in the novel, but perhaps because of the filter of that blood relationship, Gu Xi felt that the people in the Gu family should not be bad people.

Thinking of the fate of the Gu family in the novel, Gu Xi suddenly felt worried.

——

On the side, Gu Shao didn’t know what Gu Xi was thinking. Seeing the girl’s brows furrowed, she thought she was nervous and uneasy because she was about to see the strange Gu family.

“It’s not that scary,” Gu Shao said.

At least the Gu family is not like the Lin family.

“Huh? What?” Coming back to his senses, Gu Xi looked at Gu Shao.

“In the Gu family, there is my father, that is, your grandfather, as well as your uncle’s family, and your uncle’s family. There are three boys in total, about the same age as you…” After all, he hadn’t seen anyone yet, and Gu Shao just briefly Introduced to Gu Xi about the family members at the Gu family’s side, and let her know that the situation there is not complicated.

However, Gu Xi took what Gu Shao said seriously.

“Do you have any photos?” Gu Xi asked.

“No.” After a pause, Gu Shao said again: “I’ll see you when the time comes.”

“Okay.” Gu Xi nodded, and subconsciously turned on the phone to look at the date of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Calculate the time, that is, next week.

“Then do you want to tell my grandfather and the others about my existence?” Gu Xi asked in a low voice: After all, I haven’t existed for fourteen years, and suddenly a blood-related granddaughter appeared. Thinking about it, it seems a little too sudden. .

“They know you.” Gu Shao said, his eyes swept out of the car window in a certain direction.

——The old man specially arranged people to go near the school.

Yesterday, near the end of school, I sneaked in by myself, thinking he didn’t know?

After a pause, Gu Shao said again, “Grandpa, they like you very much.” Hearing this,

Gu

Xi’s eyes widened, her face full of surprise: “Really?”

Yes.

No one in the Gu family has ever seen her, so how can they like her?

She has lived with her grandmother and grandmother in Lin’s house for so long, and she has never seen each other like her.

“Really,” Gu Shao gave Gu Xi an affirmative answer, and added, “Here it is.”

“Ah?” Gu Xi came to his senses, only to find that the car had arrived at the school gate.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay,” Gu Xi cast a smile at Gu Shao, got out of the car, waved his hand, and said, “Goodbye, Dad.” After

greeting Gu Shao, Gu Xi said to Xu Fei in front of him. “Goodbye, Uncle Xiaofei.”

‘

——At this time, Xu Fei, who was in the co-

pilot, was studying the content of the two Moments while holding his mobile phone, and he almost didn’t notice that Gu Xi was saying goodbye to him.

After waving with Gu Xi, Xu Fei turned on the phone again and continued to ponder the intention of the two articles that the boss shared in the circle of friends yesterday.

These two articles, one is called “Parents’ Influence on Children”, and the other is called “The Important Role of Genetics in Children’s Future Development”?

!

In general, Gu Shao rarely posts on Moments. Even if he posts occasionally, most of the content is publicity of new products and technologies or some technical papers.

Xu Fei studied the two articles shared by his boss for one night: he found that these were two ordinary ‘brick’ soft articles that cheated the number of retweets and clicks. One of them also had an advertisement link for selling milk powder. Besides, Xu Fei did not see anything special about these two articles.

If it wasn’t for the boss replying to someone in a normal tone below, “It’s not unreasonable”, he would have almost suspected that the boss had been hacked.

In the back seat, Gu Shao ordered the driver until he saw Gu Xi entering the school gate, “Let’s go, go to A University first.”

–

On the other side, after saying goodbye to Gu Shao, Gu Xi Diao went to the classroom.

Gu Xi arrived at the school not too early. When she arrived, there were already many people in the class.

However, what makes Gu Xi strange is: these people are not doing self-study in the morning, what are they doing around their own positions?

Before Gu Xi walked over, someone spotted her and shouted, “Come here, the Lord is here~” What’s the

situation?

Gu Xi muttered suspiciously in her heart and walked towards the crowd.

The classmates in the class automatically made way for Gu Xi.

Just looking at her gossip with a smile on her face really makes people panic.

Gu Xi walked to her place only to find out that it was an extra breakfast gift bag in her place.

Why is it a big gift package?

It’s because this box is really too big, and the variety is quite rich, not only breakfast, but also snacks, and small biscuits.

Cherry pink, cherry blossom-shaped lunch box, also equipped with the same non-disposable tableware, very conspicuous.

At this time, Dong Mingming came over and grabbed Gu Xi with a face full of gossip.

“Okay, someone sent a love bento the next day after arriving at school!” After speaking, Dong Mingming lowered his voice and asked curiously, “Who sent it?”

“I don’t know.” Gu Xi also had a look on his face. Bewildered, he looked at the people next to him and asked, “Do you know?”

Everyone shook their heads.

“I’m the first to come here, so I’ll leave

it here.”

“Who is so good? It’s too sweet to deliver breakfast early in the morning.”

“After all, it’s completely normal to have a crush on someone who cherishes this kind of appearance.

…

Everyone fell into gossip again.

Fortunately, at this time, the bell for early self-study rang, and everyone stopped gossip and returned to their seats embarrassingly.

After Gu Xi sat down, Dong Mingming next to him came over and asked in a low voice, “By the way, Gu Xiaoxi, you really don’t know who sent it?”

“I really don’t know.” Gu Xi shook his head.

“That’s weird.” To say that it was sent by Gu Xi’s secret lover is actually a bit ridiculous. After all, Gu Xi has only just come to school for a day, and people who are not in their class might not know there is such a person.

“Do you know anyone in our annex?”

Gu Xi shook his head again: “No.”

“It’s not necessarily a misplacement.” Gu Xi looked at the things in front of her, and she really had a headache and didn’t know what to do.

“Then what are you going to do?” Dong Mingming asked.

Gu Xi thought about it, and said, “Let’s put the lost and found.”

Dong Mingming: “The best way…” That is, this big gift bag looks delicious, I want to eat it, what should I do?

——On

the other side of the classroom, Wang Yankai and the others looked at Gu Xi’s side, and then looked at Sheng Xiuyan who was sleeping on the table, and couldn’t help but discuss in a low voice.

“By the way, shouldn’t it be from Brother Yan?” After all, they both witnessed Sheng Xiuyan’s ‘fall’ together yesterday.

“Come here early in the morning to have a loving breakfast, then leave again, and then come to the classroom pretending nothing happened, hehe.”

“It’s possible, otherwise, why did Brother Yan come before the first class today.

” People whispered.

Fortunately, Sheng Xiuyan didn’t wake up at this time, otherwise he would have thrown a sentence directly to a few people when he heard a few people’s conversations: “brain wreck”.

——During

the big break, Gu Xi was called by the head teacher to the office.

“Mr. Chen, do you have anything to do with me?” Gu Xi asked.

Seeing Gu Xi, the head teacher had a friendly smile on his face: “Come on, Gu Xi, come here, I’ll tell you.”

After Gu Xi walked over, the head teacher said again: “That’s right, next week is the joint science competition in city B’s junior high school, you should know this, right?”

Gu Xi nodded: “Yes.”

This joint science competition is actually in city B A science group joint competition organized by 26 key and sub-key junior high schools.

It is held at the same time every year.

Gu Xi participated on behalf of Liming Middle School last year, so she knows this league.

Seeing Gu Xi nodding, the head teacher smiled again, and continued: “This time from the first to the third year, the school’s plan is 2, 3, and 3. There are a total of 3 places for our grade…”

Hearing what the head teacher said, Gu Xi roughly recalled Let’s take a look at the competition system of the league: The competition system of the entire league is different from the general competition. The league will be held for a total of 3 days, including the test papers for the four subjects of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology on the first two days, and the time-limited answering questions on the last day.

Participating schools, each school forms a team of 8 participants, and the grades are determined by their own schools.

In the first two days of the test, three people from each subject and each team were selected to participate in the test, and on the last day, two people from each team were asked to write unlimited questions within the specified time.

The final ranking is based on the sum of the total scores of all tests.

“I thought about it, our class, I’m going to report the names of you and Sheng Xiuyan.” The class teacher said his plan.

At this moment, Sheng Xiuyan also entered the office.

“I thought you wouldn’t come back until I finished speaking.” The head teacher glared at Sheng Xiuyan.

“I won’t repeat it if you haven’t heard it before. This time, you and Gu Xi, you two went to participate

in the science league, which represents our school and our 7th class. Do you know that you have to behave well?”

Going up has to go through the screening of the school, but the two people in their class, one is the first in the grade, the other is the second in the grade, there is no suspense at all.

“Whatever.” Sheng Xiu replied.

The head teacher ignored him, looked at Gu Xi, and asked in a soft voice, “How about you, Gu Xi, no problem.”

“No problem.” Gu Xi nodded.

It ‘s just…

“Is there a scholarship for this competition?” Gu Xi struggled for a while, but still asked the question she cared about the most.

Before this kind of competition, there was a corresponding scholarship in Liming.

As soon as Gu Xi’s words came out, Sheng Xiuyan, who was standing next to her, looked over, and a look of contempt flashed in his eyes: vulgar.

On the other hand, the head teacher didn’t mind at all.

In her eyes, a good student is right. Even if she is concerned about the bonus issue, she must buy study materials for herself.

After all, a family like Gu Xi is not short of money at all, and the bonus is just a form of encouragement.

“Of course there is,” the head teacher said, blinking again, “and our attached high school is higher than other schools.” Gu Xi

nodded solemnly: she is completely fine.

——Gu

Xi went back to class.

Dong Mingming moved over curiously and asked, “Why did Lao Chen ask you to go?”

“Participate in the science league.” Gu Xi explained.

Hearing this, Dong Mingming’s face showed surprise: “Emma, Gu Xiaoxi, it seems that you are not an ordinary student.”

This kind of competition where only two or three people are selected in one grade, usually a student of her level. Ba is only qualified as a trainee at most.

“By the way, Xiu Shen and you just came in one after the other, will he also participate in the league this time?”

“Yes.” Gu Xi nodded.

Dong Mingming patted Gu Xi on the shoulder: “Congratulations, you can lie down with Xiu Shen and win.”

Gu Xi: “…”

She thought that Dong Mingming suddenly wanted to say something serious…

Why didn’t she say that Sheng Xiuyan followed her to win?

Gu Xi secretly complained.

Although it was indeed the High School Affiliated to University A that finally won the championship last year, she was also the highest scorer in the third-day limited-time competition last year.

——Because of

the celebrity effect, the news that Sheng Xiuyan was going to participate in this science league soon spread to every class.

Gu Xi, incidentally, also wore it out.

“Gu Xi? Which Gu Xi?”

“The second year of junior high school? I haven’t heard of it, why isn’t it Yan Xu from their class or Zou Le from class 8?”

…

In other classes, some people were swiping the latest news on the school forum, discussing road.

At this moment, Gu Chenyi, who was still playing with his mobile phone, jumped up.

“Who do you think signed up?”

“Who else is Sheng Xiuyan?” one person said.

“No, the other one, you just said Gu Xi?”

“Yeah.” The other party nodded and was about to ask if Gu Chenyi knew him and what was the origin of this Gu Xi.

Then he saw Gu Chenyi stretched out his hand directly towards him.

“What?”

“Registration form.”
