In the afternoon, Gu Shao asked Xu Fei to bring Lin Xi to NTN Center.
When Lin Xi arrived, Gu Shao had just finished a product conference.
"Let's go." Seeing that Lin Xi had arrived, Gu Shao led her downstairs.
Go? Where to?
Lin Xi was dumbfounded.
However, she still followed Gu Shao to the parking lot and got into the car.
Gu Shao probably isn't planning to sell me off.
Lin Xi muttered in her heart.
— —
The car drove out of the NTN building and into A University Affiliated High School. Lin Xi finally realized that Gu Shao was taking her to school because of what he had promised her in the morning.
Lin Xi retracted her gaze from the car window and looked at Gu Shao. She couldn't hide the surprise and anticipation in her eyes. "Will I be going to school here in the future?"
"Not necessarily," Gu Shao said matter-of-factly. After all, there was still a test before entering the school.
— —
The two of them went all the way to the office building.
A female teacher in her early thirties greeted them. Her surname was Chen.
Because this student had come to school to take the test today, the leaders had already made arrangements in the morning. Therefore, a series of tests before entering the school were also prepared.
Teacher Chen briefly understood Lin Xi's situation in the office before taking her to the test room that had already been arranged.
In the test room, the teacher explained to Lin Xi, "Because you were in the second year of middle school, you didn't fall too far behind in your classes during this period of time. Therefore, this test is also for the second year of middle school."
"The test questions this time are actually the monthly test questions that just passed this month. The difficulty level is moderate. There are some questions that are beyond the syllabus, but there aren't many. Most of the knowledge points should have been learned by you." These questions were just right for the test, so there was no need to come up with new questions.
Lin Xi nodded.
At this moment, a very tall teenager walked into the test room with his hands in his pockets. He looked like he hadn't woken up yet.
"Teacher, why are you looking for me?" The young man asked Teacher Chen.
Seeing that she had arrived, Mr. Chen looked at the time and frowned. "Sheng Xiuyan, I told you to come at 3: 20 sharp. Look at the time now."
"3: 10?" The boy called Sheng Xiuyan glanced at his phone and said indifferently, "The language teacher delayed the class."
Teacher Chen: "…" Like hell I'd believe you! The previous art class was originally taken by the language teacher, but later on, it was changed to the physics class. This guy probably slept through the entire class and didn't even know which subject was taken in.
"Turn off your phone and hand it over. Then quickly go over there and sit down." The teacher pointed to a seat in the examination room and said sternly.
"What?"
"Exam." Mr. Chen said, "You missed the monthly test this time. Since there are new students coming to take the entrance test today, you can take the make-up test as well."
This month, Sheng Xiuyan just so happened to have a competition, so they didn't participate in any of the exams.
Sheng Xiuyan frowned. "Isn't it the same whether I take the exam or not?"
"Why wouldn't I know if it's different?" Teacher Chen glared at Sheng Xiuyan. "The grade director said that the results of this month's exam will be included in the final grade. You better take the exam seriously. Hurry up and don't waste time. Go and sit down."
Sheng Xiuyan shrugged indifferently, but still walked into the examination room.
Sheng Xiuyan glanced at Lin Xi and chose the seat next to Lin Xi to sit down.
"This month's exam has a total of five subjects: language, math, English, physics, and chemistry. You don't have to do the major questions that are crossed out. You don't have to write the language essay. You don't have to write the English listening essay. You only have to do the first essay. The final score will be included in this month's exam ranking according to the ratio."
Teacher Chen looked at the time again and said, "The exam time is 180 minutes. There are no breaks in between, so hurry up."
Teacher Chen gave Sheng Xiuyan a warning look and then looked at Lin Xi. Her expression was obviously much gentler.
"Just do the questions carefully as you did before the exam. If you encounter something you don't know, you can skip it. Don't be nervous."
Lin Xi nodded and took a few exam papers from Teacher Chen.
Lin Xi was not picky because it was a five-subject exam. After looking through all five exam papers, she started to do the math paper on the first one.
Lin Xi knew that the High School Affiliated to A University was one of the top three public schools, while her previous school was the top private school.
Usually, the two schools regarded each other as competitors. They often compared the quality of teaching and the level of competition, so the teaching content and teaching progress of the two schools were almost the same.
The exam papers in front of her were not difficult for Lin Xi.
Lin Xi was very fast.
Lin Xi finished five exam papers in less than two hours because she did not have to write an essay.
Almost at the same time that Lin Xi put down her pen, Sheng Xiuyan also threw down his pen.
Without looking at Lin Xi, Sheng Xiuyan directly stood up and handed in the paper. He yawned and left the classroom.
Lin Xi looked away from him and continued to look down at the exam papers. She checked the papers again before raising her hand to hand in the paper.

When Lin Xi followed Teacher Chen back to the office building, Gu Shao was still waiting for Lin Xi. In front of him stood a lady in her fifties with glasses.
Teacher Chen led Lin Xi over and called out, "Director Zhou."
Director Zhou looked at Lin Xi with a hint of surprise. She looked at Lin Xi and then at Gu Shao.
"Professor Gu, this must be your daughter. She's so beautiful," Director Zhou said with a smile. "I didn't know Professor Gu's daughter was already so big."
Gu Shao was a professor at University A, so he knew Director Zhou. However, Professor Gu was a very busy man. He was rarely seen and his private life was a mystery.
"I'll keep her for now," Gu Shao said. Until she became an adult.
However, Chief Zhou's words had a different meaning.
Director Zhou was stunned. She immediately smiled and said, "She's your niece, right? They all say that nephews look like their uncles. Professor Gu, your child looks quite similar to you. I almost thought she was your daughter. "
Gu Shao did not correct Director Zhou.
Director Zhou took Lin Xi's exam papers from Teacher Chen and looked at them. She nodded and said, "Very good."
She did not know if it was right, but the neatly arranged exam papers made her eyes light up.
Then, Director Zhou looked at Gu Shao and said, "The principal was supposed to come today, but he had a meeting at the last minute and asked me to come and entertain you."
"The exam results will be out by tomorrow at the latest. When the time comes, I'll contact Professor Gu immediately." Director Zhou paused and said, "The main purpose of this admission test is to get a feel of the students' grades and make it easier to assign them to different classes. Nothing else will be affected. Professor Gu, don't worry."
Director Zhou assured Gu Shao that no matter how many points Lin Xi scored and whether she passed or not, she would be able to successfully enroll in the university.
These words sounded like they were very good to Lin Xi, but it also sounded like they were opening a back door for Lin Xi.
Gu Shao looked down and glanced at the young girl beside him who looked unconvinced. He held back his laughter and did not explain further.
Gu Shao rejected Director Zhou's invitation to take them on a tour of the university and left with Lin Xi.

In the car on the way back, Lin Xi pulled a long face and pouted so much that she could hang something from her lips.
Gu Shao's gaze swept across Lin Xi's face and he raised his eyebrows.
"You don't like this university?"
Lin Xi quickly shook her head and did not say anything.
She could not say that she was unhappy now because Gu Shao had just denied that she was his child.
That would be too pretentious. To Gu Shao, she was just a sudden accident.
Lin Xi bit her lower lip and looked at Gu Shao with a smile. "Thank you, Dad. I will study hard."
— —
The father and daughter returned home.
Lin Xi was surprised to find that there was a new aunt at home.
This person looked to be in her fifties or sixties, but she was very energetic. In terms of temperament, she was much more elegant than the one who had come this morning.
The other party stood at the door to welcome Lin Xi and Gu Shao home.
Lin Xi seemed to have heard Gu Shao address the other party as "Aunt Mei."
Aunt Mei first nodded at Gu Shao and then eagerly looked at Lin Xi, who was behind Gu Shao.
The moment she saw Lin Xi, Aunt Mei's eyes lit up and she could not hide the surprise on her face.
"This must be Miss Xiao Xi."
Aunt Mei saw the surprise on Lin Xi's face and hurriedly said, "Miss Xiao Xi, my surname is Mei. You can call me Grandma Mei. I will be responsible for taking care of you from now on."
Lin Xi was a little puzzled by the other party's enthusiasm, but she did not reject such friendliness.
Lin Xi nodded and politely greeted the other party, "Grandma Mei."
Aunt Mei's face immediately bloomed with a smile.
"Miss Xiao Xi, you must be hungry. Come in quickly, I have already prepared dinner." Aunt Mei took Lin Xi's backpack from her as she led Lin Xi into the house.
Lin Xi turned her head and glanced at Gu Shao.
Gu Shao said, "Go in."
—
Aunt Mei led Lin Xi into the dining room.
Originally, Lin Xi thought that the other party was talking about simple home-cooked dishes. However, the moment she walked into the dining room, Lin Xi felt as if she was looking at a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
"…" There were only the two of them and Grandma Mei. Wasn't it a little too exaggerated to have so many dishes?
Seeing Lin Xi's surprised expression, Aunt Mei hurriedly explained, "It's your first day cooking for Miss Xiao Xi. I didn't know what you liked, so I made a little bit of everything."
In fact, when Aunt Mei was preparing the dishes, she thought of Lin Xi and wanted to cook everything for her, so she accidentally made her own signature dishes.
"Miss Xiao Xi, you can choose what you like."
"What do you usually like, Miss Xiao Xi?" Aunt Mei asked.
"Everything is fine," Lin Xi said.
"It's good that you're not picky."
Lin Xi was speechless. What kind of filter was this?
"Is there anything you especially like to eat?" Aunt Mei asked again, "For example, do you prefer sweet or savory food?"
Lin Xi thought about it and replied, "Sweet."
"Can you eat spicy food?"
Lin Xi shook her head.
"What about sweet and sour food?"
"Yes." Lin Xi nodded.
Aunt Mei smiled. "Miss Xiao Xi and Old Master are exactly the same."
Lin Xi did not know who the "Old Master" Aunt Mei was talking about was, but she felt that the other party seemed to know Gu Shao quite well.
Could it be that they knew each other before?
Lin Xi thought to herself as she ate.
Speaking of which, Aunt Mei's cooking was really delicious. Lin Xi felt that it was even better than the five-star chef that Lin Yize had hired for Song Kexin.
— —
Aunt Mei's smile widened when she saw that Lin Xi liked her cooking.
While Gu Shao and Lin Xi were not paying attention, Aunt Mei secretly took out her phone and took a photo of Lin Xi.
After dinner, Gu Shao received a phone call and went to the study. Lin Xi got up and started to clear the dishes.
Aunt Mei hurriedly stopped Lin Xi when she saw this.
"Miss Xiao Xi, just leave it to me."
"It's okay, I can help you put it away." Lin Xi was very conscious of living under someone else's roof.
Seeing that Lin Xi had already put away the dishes in the kitchen, Aunt Mei could no longer stop her.
However, she took this opportunity to take a few more photos of Lin Xi.
