Gu Xi and Dong Mingming had left school early, so there were not many people on the road yet.
If the other party was just following her, she could still take a detour. But what if the other party wanted to kidnap her? Would she have to run from time to time?
The messy thoughts in her mind successfully made Gu Xi nervous.
Gu Xi slowed down her pace and glanced around as if nothing had happened. Then, she quickened her pace and walked a few steps forward. She stopped and looked back abruptly.
"Strange …"
Behind her, there were a few other students who had also finished school walking, but there did not seem to be anything unusual.
Except for the two figures squatting together in a strange posture by the wall not far away, Gu Xi's attention was drawn to them.
These two people were wearing the same school uniform as Gu Xi's, so they were obviously students from A University Affiliated High School.
"Are people dating so bold these days?" Or did A University Affiliated High School not catch puppy love?
Gu Xi muttered softly.
From her angle, the two people squeezed together by the wall. Although their posture was a little awkward, their "intimate" appearance really made it seem like they were dating.
However, Gu Xi soon realized that something was wrong.
From the looks of it, those two classmates seemed to be … two boys?
— — Could they be fighting?
Gu Xi thought to herself.
But after thinking about it, it seemed like it had nothing to do with her. Gu Xi shook her head, retracted her gaze, turned around, and continued to walk toward the parking lot. On the way, she kept looking at the license plates of the passing cars.
— —
Seeing that Gu Xi continued to walk away, the two people who seemed to be "fighting" finally separated and looked nervously in Gu Xi's direction.
"Phew, they're finally gone." Gu Chenyi heaved a sigh of relief.
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yanxiao, who was next to him, smacked him on the head. "Gu Chenyi, why are you hiding?"
Gu Chenyi retorted Gu Yanxiao, "Nonsense. If we don't hide, what if Xixi finds out?"
After saying that, Gu Chenyi nervously looked in Gu Xi's direction and muttered to himself, "Xixi didn't notice it just now, did she?"
"Are you retarded? Xixi has never seen us before. She doesn't know us at all, okay? "Gu Yanxiao couldn't help but say. It would be strange if he behaved like a thief.
Hearing Gu Yanxiao's reminder, Gu Chenyi also reacted.
"…" What should she do if she felt like an idiot?
"I was just too nervous," Gu Chenyi said awkwardly.
Fortunately, he was not seen by anyone he knew. Otherwise, his image would be ruined.
"Xixi looks even better in the photos," said Gu Chenyi. In any case, their family was the prettiest. They wouldn't accept any rebuttal.
Gu Yanxiao also nodded in agreement.
However, she was a little disappointed, "Why isn't Xixi wearing the clothes we chose for her?"
As soon as she said this, she immediately received a look of disdain from Gu Chenyi, "That's because the clothes you chose are too ugly."
The Gu family's sense of beauty really left people speechless. Did pink really mean that they looked good? Even if it did, it would be tiring to wear so many at once!
Gu Chenyi ridiculed in his heart.
As the only man in the Gu family with an aesthetic standard, Gu Chenyi deeply felt that it was hard on himself.
Gu Yanxiao snorted coldly, "Didn't Xixi also not wear the clothes you chose?"
Gu Chenyi, "I was the one who chose the headband she was wearing, okay?!"
Gu Yanxiao, "…" He lost.
Gu Chenyi was feeling smug when suddenly, Gu Yanxiao grabbed his neck and pressed him down. The two of them squatted on the ground again like thieves.
“woc！ Gu Yanxiao, are you crazy? Didn't you say that we don't need to hide? "
"I saw Second Uncle's car!"
"F * ck …"
"Hurry up and hide."
"Let's run now."
"The problem is that we didn't take any photos. How are we going to explain this to Grandpa when we go back?"
…
The scene of the two big lumps squatting in the corner fell into the eyes of the other students who had just finished school.
A girl pointed at the two lumps and said to her best friend in surprise, "Why do I think that person over there looks a little like Gu Chenyi?"
"That's impossible. You must have seen wrongly."
"If you don't believe me, look over there yourself." The girl pointed at the two figures who were running away quickly.
Her best friend was stunned for a moment, "Their backs do look a little similar. But you're thinking too much. It can't be Gu Chenyi. "
How could a school hunk like Gu Chenyi squat in a corner after school for no reason? It was even a little low.
"Gu Chenyi should be at the basketball court right now."
"Class 17 is playing Class 3 today. Gu Yanxiao should be there too. Why don't we go back and watch?"
"Okay, okay."
A few girls were infatuated with him.
—
On the other side.
Gu Xi didn't find the car that Aunt Mei said would pick her up. Instead, she saw another familiar car parked next to her.
Gu Xi looked at the license plate number to confirm. Her eyes widened slightly in disbelief.
Then she saw the car window roll down. It was Gu Shao.
"Dad!" Gu Xi was pleasantly surprised.
Gu Shao seemed to be sizing up Gu Xi from head to toe to make sure that Gu Xi was fine.
"Get in the car." Gu Shao's tone was as concise as usual, but it couldn't hide the gentleness in his eyes.
"Okay." Gu Xi got in the car.
"Dad, why are you here? Are you here to pick me up? "Gu Xi asked with uncertainty. There was a little expectation in her eyes that she didn't notice.
"I was just passing by, so I came over," Gu Shao said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xi nodded and sat down beside Gu Shao.
However, Chen Ziyang, who was sitting in front of them, secretly smiled.
The professor had a technology meeting this afternoon. It was supposed to end at 5: 30.
However, in order to pick up Gu Xi, the professor left the meeting early.
The professor was probably worried that Xiaoxi wouldn't be able to adapt to the new school on her first day of classes.
Chen Ziyang held back his laughter and secretly glanced at Gu Shao, who was sitting in the back row. Then he looked at Gu Shao, who was sitting obediently beside Gu Xi. Suddenly, he felt a little envious.
He also wanted a daughter. What was going on with him?
…
In the back row.
Both father and daughter did not speak.
Gu Xi lowered her head. Suddenly, she glanced at a file bag beside Gu Shao's hand.
It looked a little familiar.
Gu Xi tried to recall. This seemed to be the file bag that Gu Shao had brought back from Principal Li Ming yesterday. It contained some of her learning materials!
Gu Xi looked up and glanced at it. Gu Shao was on the phone at this time, so he probably didn't notice her.
Because she was really curious, Gu Xi secretly reached out her hand while Gu Shao wasn't paying attention. She pulled open a corner of the file bag and carefully looked at what was inside.
It contained photocopies of some of her award certificates and certificates during her time in school, some of her participation in competitions, and then … some of her essays and homework.
There were her award-winning essays, as well as some essays that were used by the school as models and examples.
Gu Xi couldn't remember which of her essays and homework were kept by the school.
Just as Gu Xi was about to flip open a corner to take a look, Gu Shao had already hung up the phone.
When she saw Gu Shao looking over, Gu Xi quickly retracted her hand and gave Gu Shao a dry smile that said, "Nothing happened. I don't know what happened."
"How's school?" Gu Shao asked.
"Yes." Gu Xi thought about it and smiled. "Not bad."
Gu Shao did not ask any more questions. Gu Xi started to recall what essays she had written during her time in Li Ming University.
Most of them were questions given by the school. They were about the mountains and rivers of her hometown, about time, and if you were so-and-so …
That's right! There was also an essay called "My Dream". She wrote that her dream was to enter NTN University and then … become someone like Gu Shao.
When she thought of this, Gu Xi's expression suddenly froze on her face.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with the content of the essay. However, now that Gu Shao had become her father, Gu Xi suddenly felt inexplicably awkward and a little embarrassed when she thought of that essay.
Gu Xi carefully raised her head and stole a glance at Gu Shao. Gu Shao probably hadn't seen the contents of this folder yet.
Should she steal these back?
A thought flashed through Gu Xi's mind.
Gu Shao: "What's the matter?"
Gu Xi: "No."
—
Back home.
At night, Gu Xi was still thinking about that document. She started to think about how to "steal" it back from Gu Shao.
In the living room, Aunt Mei looked at Gu Xi's tightly shut door and thought about how Gu Xi had returned to her room early after dinner today. She couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Sir, did Miss Xiaoxi encounter something unpleasant at school?" Aunt Mei asked nervously.
"I don't think so," Gu Shao replied.
Judging from the school's reaction, Gu Xi seemed to have a good first day at school.
"Maybe she's tired," Gu Shao said.
On the other hand, in the room, Gu Xi had been leaning against the door and eavesdropping on the movements outside.
When she heard that there was no more movement outside and the sound of the door closing, Gu Xi thought that Gu Shao must have returned to his room. Thus, she carefully opened the door.
Gu Xi glanced outside through the crack in the door. After making sure that Gu Shao was not there, she quietly moved out.
Then, she rushed to the study at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
She saw that Gu Shao had put all the documents in the study when he came back.
Sure enough, Gu Xi immediately saw the familiar document bag on the desk in the study.
Gu Xi walked over quietly, looking back from time to time.
After getting the document bag, Gu Xi was about to sneak back to her room.
However, at this moment, Gu Shao's voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Gu Shao's voice, Gu Xi was startled. Her hands trembled and she quickly put the document bag back to its original position. Then, she turned around to face Gu Shao with her hands behind her back.
"Ah?"
"What's the matter?" Gu Shao asked again.
"Nothing." Gu Xi shook her head.
At this moment, she perfectly demonstrated what it meant to have a guilty conscience.
"It's that. Yesterday, I wanted the parents to sign it," Gu Xi said.
Gu Shao nodded. "Bring it to me."
"Uh, I left it in my room and forgot to bring it," Gu Xi said and pointed in the direction of her room guiltily. "I'll go get it."
Seeing Gu Shao nod, Gu Xi quickly ran out and went back to her room to get the workbook. Then, she turned back to the study, feeling lucky. Fortunately, she was smart enough.
"These need to be signed." Gu Xi handed the workbook to Gu Shao, her eyes still fixed on the document bag at the corner of the desk.
On the other side, Gu Shao took Gu Xi's workbook and flipped it open to take a look.
The handwriting was very beautiful. The entire workbook was very neat and tidy at a glance. Moreover, every stroke was very serious.
— —
This kind of attitude and character was very suitable for scientific research.
Gu Shao thought distractedly.
After reading Gu Xi's workbook from beginning to end, he signed his name at the bottom in bold and forceful handwriting.
"Is there anything else?" Gu Shao asked.
"No, that's all." Gu Xi held the workbook and workbook in her arms and said "goodnight" to Gu Shao before turning to leave.
Before she left, she did not forget to take a look at the document bag at the corner of the desk "reluctantly".
Just now, when Gu Shao was checking her workbook, Gu Xi took advantage of the fact that he was not paying attention and covered the document bag with the two books on the desk.
She hoped that Gu Shao would not forget about this thing.
After all, it was not important to Gu Shao.
Gu Xi returned to her room as she thought about it.
— —
After returning to her room, Gu Xi took a look at the workbook that Gu Shao had signed for her just now. She stared at the words on the workbook in a daze.
— — Actually, Gu Shao really treated her quite well.
Originally, when Gu Xi first came to look for Gu Shao, she only hoped that he was not a bad person who would commit all kinds of evil deeds, or a complete villain like those described in novels. Her request was very simple. As long as Gu Shao was willing to be her guardian until she became an adult, she would be fine.
However, what Gu Shao gave her was far more than she expected.
He let her live in his house, personally brought her to register her household registration and transfer her to another school. He found Granny Mei to take care of her. He would remember to buy her new books, ask her what she thought, and personally send her to and from school.
He was simply too qualified to be a father.
Moreover, Gu Xi also started to have doubts. In the novel, as the opposite of the male and female protagonists, Gu Shao naturally became the villain, the bad guy. But in fact, Gu Xi didn't feel that Gu Shao was bad at all.
If the novel's plot really happened in the future and Lin Yize really made a move on Gu Shao, she hoped that Gu Shao would be fine.
After thinking about it, Gu Xi took out her phone and opened the [Battle of Tianchang] group chat.
[X]: Group leader, I've thought about it. I can team up with you guys to participate in the 'Tianchang Competition'. I might not be very good at some professional things, but I can try my best to learn if you guys don't mind.
Gu Xi had just sent this sentence, but before she could type a second sentence, [AAA] had already replied in seconds.
To be precise, there were several messages:
[AAA]:!!!
[AAA]: Really?!
[AAA]: That's great! Brother X, I love you to death! I've been waiting for so long for you to say this!
Looking at [AAA]'s excited expression, Gu Xi reminded him again: I'm not considered a professional in this area.
[AAA] still replied instantly: It's not a big deal.
In his opinion, the few ideas that Gu Xi had provided previously were already quite impressive.
[AAA]: I have [Lin] in terms of technical skills. Don't worry!
[X]: Okay.
[X]: Well …
Gu Xi was a little embarrassed to say this.
[X]: If I win a prize in the future, can I get 300,000 yuan of the prize money?
Weak, humble, and full of expectations.
Gu Xi had thought about it. In the novel, she went offline and Lin Yize made a move on Gu Shao when she was almost an adult.
She actually did not have much time. She did not have much money saved up by the time she was 18 years old. She did not have the ability to resist risks at all.
She had to save more money. This way, even if Gu Shao went bankrupt because of Lin Yize in the future, her money could still support the two of them.
Oh right, should she find a chance to tactfully remind Gu Shao to be careful of Lin Yize?
Gu Xi secretly pondered.
At this moment, [AAA] sent another message in the group: The prize money is a small matter. There's no need to share it. When we win a prize, the whole prize money will be yours!
Even [Lin], who rarely spoke in the group, sent a message: Okay.
[AAA]: @ X, where are you from?
Gu Xi thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide it, so she replied: B City.
[AAA]: It's fate.
[AAA]: We're from B City too.
[AAA]: Coincidentally, [Lin] is also back. Let's meet up when we're free and have a team ceremony. At the same time, we can discuss the competition.
[Lin]: I'm not free.
[AAA]: By the way, you've finished your classes in M Country in advance. You shouldn't be busy now.
[Lin]: You don't understand.
There was even a rare "smug" emoji attached at the end.
…
Gu Xi realized that the two of them seemed to know each other.
Later on, the two of them began to talk about other things. Gu Xi closed the group chat and prepared to go to bed.
As for the meeting mentioned by [AAA], Gu Xi thought about it and decided to forget about it.
She was worried that he would not take her in if he found out that she was a rookie who had not even graduated from junior high school.
However, Gu Xi also secretly planned in her mind to find a way to improve her skills. It would be best if she could find some professional books or courses to study systematically.
Gu Xi thought about this and unknowingly fell asleep.
On the other hand, in the study, Gu Shao continued to read Gu Xi's information.
—
At this moment, Gu Shao was holding Gu Xi's other essay.
This was an essay for the mid-term examination. Together with a few essays by other students, the school had specially used it as a reference.
The topic was "Home."
Gu Shao's gaze lingered on this title for a few seconds before he continued reading.
It was still neat and graceful, and a few paragraphs of description were particularly eye-catching.
"Daddy's love is quiet and deep. Daddy doesn't talk much, but he loves everyone in the family very much. He will come to my side to protect me when I get into trouble. He will buy my favorite cake on his way home every day. He will put aside all his work to celebrate my birthday with me. He has never missed any of my birthdays or any of my performances. He will praise me when I win honors and also …"
"Mommy's love is always so delicate and gentle. She takes care of me in every possible way. She will stay up all night when I have a fever. She will be the first to stand in front of me when I am bullied … "
'There's also Grandma and Granny …'
It was a simple love essay, but between the lines, there was a kind of contagious warmth and happiness.
However …
Gu Shao frowned and tightened his grip on the essay.
Based on the time, the "Daddy" in this essay was obviously not referring to him.
However, it was not the Lin family either.
In other words, this was just the appearance and attitude of "Daddy and Mommy" that Gu Xi described through Lin Anxin's perspective. It was just her imagination, the kind of "home" that she longed for in her heart.
