At noon, Gu Xi took advantage of the break and went to the school library.
"Gu Xiaoxi, are you looking for some guidance books? I can lend you any books you want. You don't have to come to the library, "Dong Mingming, who came with Gu Xi, said.
He paused and couldn't help but complain, "Let me tell you, the books in our school's library are really not good. There are very few types and they are often not updated. You can't even find the latest reference books even if you want to."
In this aspect, A University Affiliated High School really couldn't compare to the school next door.
"It's okay, I'm just looking around," Gu Xi said with a smile.
She didn't come to the library to look for supplementary books or reference books. She actually wanted to look for a few basic electronic technology books.
After deciding to team up with AAA and Lin to participate in the Heavenly Creation Competition, Gu Xi also put her basic studies on the agenda.
She knew about theories and concepts, but what she lacked was the accumulation of basic knowledge. It was obviously unrealistic to find a professional school to teach her, so Gu Xi could only look for some books to self-study.
However, after looking around the library, Gu Xi was a little disappointed. Just as Dong Mingming said, there weren't many types of books in the school library. Most of them were related to junior high school courses. There were a few electronic technology books, but they were only general science books.
"Let's go," Gu Xi said to Dong Mingming.
Gu Xi was a little disappointed that she didn't find the book she wanted. However, she still chose a third-year mathematics reference book to borrow.
Looking at the book Gu Xi borrowed, Dong Mingming was surprised. He heard that Xiu Shen had already finished all the third-year courses in advance. Did Gu Xi also want to be like Sheng Xiuyan and finish all the third-year courses in advance?
—
The two of them walked out of the library together. A group of people not far away attracted Gu Xi's attention.
Looking at the lively group of people over there, Gu Xi raised his eyebrows and asked Dong Mingming casually, "What are they doing over there?"
At this time, Dong Mingming was also looking in that direction. Hearing Gu Xi's question, he explained, "The art festival is coming soon. These people must be preparing something in advance."
As he spoke, Dong Mingming pointed at a figure in the crowd: "There, look, the group of people at the front are from our school's Literature and Arts Department. The one in the middle who isn't wearing the school uniform and is wearing a light blue skirt is the leader of the Literature and Arts Department. Gu Xueer from Class Two, Grade Three. "
"The legendary campus belle of our affiliated high school."
Speaking of this, Dong Mingming suddenly became interested. His whole person was brimming with a gossipy temperament.
"Let me tell you," Dong Mingming held Gu Xi's arm and whispered, "Gu Xueer is a popular figure in our school. It's said that the number of 'Nice Person Cards' that are sent out every day is enough to circle our affiliated high school three times …"
In any case, in the school forum, all kinds of adjectives such as beautiful person, sweet singing, fair skin, beautiful appearance, multi-talented, kind-hearted, and elegant were all used to describe Gu Xueer.
"So, you're his little fangirl?" Gu Xi asked.
Gu Xi's interest was not in this topic, so she rarely paid attention to such topics in school.
"No," Dong Mingming hurriedly shook his head and said.
Actually, she felt that this Gu Xueer was alright — in terms of appearance alone, Gu Xueer could only be considered okay. The label of 'the school's number one beauty' was a bit exaggerated. However, in terms of elegance, dressing, talent, and friendliness, Gu Xueer was fully deserving of the title of campus belle.
"Oh right!" Dong Mingming thought of something and said, "Previously, there was a rumor that Gu Xueer was dating Senior Xiu Shen. Hehe, it was said that someone saw Gu Xueer giving things to Sheng Xiuyan."
"Also, Gu Xueer's best friend went to ask Sheng Xiuyan, but I don't know what Sheng Xiuyan said."
…
Seeing Dong Mingming talking about gossip with great interest, the corners of Gu Xi's mouth twitched slightly. She patted Dong Mingming's shoulder and wanted to tell her, "Young girl, it's not right to be in a relationship at such a young age."
However, before Gu Xi could say anything, a group of people had already walked over to Gu Xi and Dong Mingming.
Someone stopped Gu Xi and Dong Mingming.
"Fellow students, we are doing a smiling wall activity for the art festival next month. We are going to post photos of everyone smiling and use them as a display wall." One of the girls explained to Gu Xi and Dong Mingming, and then asked, "Can you help us take a photo?"
Gu Xi and Dong Mingming looked at each other.
At this moment, Gu Xueer, who had just finished setting up the scene, walked over. When she saw Gu Xi, she seemed to be stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
She smiled at the two of them and said, "This activity is very meaningful. When the time comes, we will put the photo wall in front of the largest wall in the main venue of the art festival. It will be very spectacular. It is equivalent to you contributing to the art festival."
"And don't feel embarrassed. This photo wall is very big. There will be many other fellow students on it with you."
It had to be said that the words of this school belle were very persuasive.
"Okay then." Gu Xi and Dong Mingming nodded.
"That's great." Gu Xueer smiled and called another classmate. "Bring these two over to take a photo."
Gu Xi and Dong Mingming followed the other senior to the background screen.
At this moment, Gu Xue 'er ran over with two balaclavas in her hands.
"I almost forgot. Bring this along with you."
A green alien with a small sunflower mask. There was a hole in the middle where the alien's face would be exposed.
Dong Mingming: "…" She felt like she had been tricked.
Gu Xi: "…" Is it too late to run now?
— —
After taking the photo, the two 'youngsters' returned to the classroom.
Dong Mingming was still complaining. "My whole life of clarity can't be ruined by a lousy mask, right?"
"What should we do? When the time comes, this photo wall will have to be placed in the most conspicuous position in the main hall. It will be so embarrassing if people see it! "
"I saw it when we left. There were clearly little bunnies, Hello Kitty … There were so many good-looking ones, why did they give me such an ugly one?"
Gu Xi patted Dong Mingming's shoulder again. She didn't want to say anything. Dong Mingming's mask was a small sunflower. Her mask was a strange existence …
However, the two of them quickly forgot about this small incident.
— —
After school in the afternoon, as soon as Gu Xi walked out of the school gate, she saw a familiar car parked not far from the school gate.
After saying goodbye to Dong Mingming, Gu Xi jumped into the car.
However, she didn't see Gu Shao in the car.
"Uncle Xiao Fei." Gu Xi looked at Xu Fei in the front seat and called out to him. She felt a little strange. Xu Fei was here, so why wasn't Gu Shao here?
"How was Xiaoxi at school today?"
"Not bad." Gu Xi smiled at him.
Seeing that Gu Xi's smile seemed to be a little disappointed, Xu Fei reacted and hurriedly explained, "The president was supposed to come and pick you up, but there was a problem with a product test at the last minute. The president had to go over at the last minute, so he asked me to come and pick you up first."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xi was a little nervous. "Product test? Is it okay? "
"It's okay." Xu Fei waved his hand and said, "The test results showed that there was a problem with a connecting component. It's being fixed now. It should be fixed soon."
Gu Xi nodded.
— —
Because he had to deal with the product, Gu Shao had been at the center and didn't come back.
After dinner, Gu Xi sat in the room and discussed the 'Heaven Creation Competition' with [AAA] and [Lin].
After less than 10 minutes of discussion, the three of them decided on the competition project. To be precise, it was decided by [3A].
[AAA]: Okay, then it's decided. This time, our team's project is an accompanying AI butler system.
This' accompanying AI butler 'was an upgrade from Gu Xi's previous proposal. Simply put, it was to design a lifestyle AI butler. However, this AI butler was only set to have 70% of the basic AI butler function before it was released from the factory. The remaining 30% was self-learning and self-upgrading.
The AI butler would analyze, learn, and self-modify based on the information collected during the user's use. This would make the entire AI butler more compatible with the user's personality, preferences, and living habits.
In the end, it would form 50% of the basic AI butler service and 50% of the personal AI butler service.
"But …"
It was decided with just a few sentences? Isn't it too hasty?
Gu Xi muttered silently.
She originally wanted to send a message saying that they should think about it more.
However, at this moment, [Lin] also sent a message saying, "I think it's okay."
Thus, this important decision was finalized just like that.
[AAA]: Oh right, registration starts today. Don't forget.
[AAA] reminded them in the group chat.
Today was the first day of registration for the 'Heaven Creation Competition'. In order to ensure the authenticity of every contestant's information and prevent people from slacking off, the registration for the competition was done independently.
No matter how they formed a team or who they formed a team with, the contestants had to go to the official website to register first. After they received the participation code, their teammates would enter their participation code into the team they formed.
—
Gu Xi opened the competition's official website and clicked on the registration page.
The preliminary registration and verification were relatively simple. She only needed to fill in her personal name, ID number, and other basic information.
Gu Xi hesitated for a moment, but she still filled in her name and ID number with some luck.
However, the next second, a notification popped up on the screen. [Your ID information does not meet the requirements. Please fill in your ID information correctly.]
"Sure enough, it doesn't work …" The competition stipulated that contestants had to be at least 16 years old.
Gu Xi did not expect to be able to share her experience with the others in the group chat. She stared at the computer screen for a long time before she finally filled in the other ID number that she could remember in her mind.
This time, the registration was completed smoothly.
After sending her participation code to the group chat, Gu Xi logged out of the group chat.
—
She went out to take a look. Gu Shao was not back yet, so Gu Xi wandered to the door of Gu Shao's study.
Gu Xi stood outside the study and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she did not go in. She stood at the door and poked her head in to take a look.
Gu Xi wanted to see what books Gu Shao had on his bookshelf.
She had been in Gu Shao's study twice before and had seen that there were many electronic technology books on the bookshelf behind him.
Most of them were very advanced, but she did not know if there were any basic knowledge books.
Gu Xi craned her neck and stared at the names of the books on the bookshelf. She read them carefully, row by row.
"Electronic frontier …" It was too advanced.
"E-RILL chip …" It was too advanced.
…
Gu Xi only saw a few very basic books at the corner of the bookshelf when she reached the end of the bookshelf.
However, before Gu Xi could remember the names of the books clearly, Gu Shao came back.
—
The product revision at the center took some time. When Gu Shao returned home, it was almost 10 pm.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a creature named "Daughter" lying at the door of the study like a gecko. Half of her body was hanging on the door. She was tilting her head and looking into the study.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was sure that this girl was his biological daughter, Gu Shao would have thought that this girl was a thief.
"Why are you lying there?"
Gu Shao's voice suddenly sounded behind her, startling Gu Xi. She quickly jumped away from the door and turned to look at Gu Shao.
"Dad, uh, Dad, you're back."
Seeing Gu Xi acting like a thief, Gu Xi raised her eyebrows and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Uh, nothing …" Gu Xi lowered her head and twisted her fingers. After a long while, she finally confessed, "I'm looking for some books, um, for reference."
Gu Shao did not doubt Gu Xi's words. After all, when he entered the house just now, he saw that this girl's eyes were about to fall off the bookshelf.
"If you want to read, why don't you go in?" Gu Shao asked.
Thinking of Gu Xi's expression just now, it was really funny.
"…" Gu Xi did not say anything.
She just felt that it was not good to enter Gu Shao's study without his permission. It was already wrong of her to 'steal' his essay in a hurry.
Seeing this, Gu Shao seemed to have guessed Gu Xi's thoughts. His eyes darkened and he sighed secretly, "If you want to read or take something, go in and get it yourself."
After that, Gu Shao emphasized, "This is your home."
"Go in." Seeing that Gu Xi was still in a daze, Gu Shao motioned for her to enter the study.
"What kind of books do you want to read?" Gu Shao asked.
Gu Xi's eyes lit up and she excitedly pointed to a corner of the bookshelf, "Just those few books, the basic ones."
Hearing this, Gu Shao's expression froze and he frowned slightly. Reading other books could be seen as a way to broaden one's horizons and cultivate one's interests. Gu Shao did not mind Gu Xi reading these kinds of 'extracurricular books', but to read the basic books … Did she want to learn more?
He would not interfere with Gu Xi's choice for her future development, but it was still too early for a 14-year-old child to come into contact with professional knowledge.
"You want to read these books?" Gu Shao asked.
"Yes, yes." Gu Xi nodded, "I just want to take a look."
"What is the basic configuration of the RIC-11 bipolar transistor?" Gu Shao suddenly asked.
"Common emitter, common base, and common collector." Gu Xi answered almost without thinking.
"…"
Now it was Gu Shao's turn to be at a loss for words.
He suddenly asked this question casually because he wanted to use the most direct way to tell Gu Xi that she was still a junior high school student and was still too young to learn professional knowledge, so she should not think too much.
He did not expect Gu Xi to actually answer it.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Gu Shao had a slight headache. He felt as if he had shot himself in the foot.
"What you should do now is to study the things taught in school well. Don't waste your time on things that are not for you to do." Gu Xi put on a strict attitude and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Gu Xi's heart sank. She wanted to dawdle with Gu Shao again, but when she saw his serious expression, Gu Xi could only nod and say softly, "Okay …"
"Have you finished your homework?"
"Not yet."
"Go and do it."
"Okay."
— —
Her plan to 'freeload' books failed. Gu Xi returned to her room dejectedly and began to finish the rest of her homework.
After a while, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Gu Xi went to open the door and saw that it was Gu Shao.
"Dad."
"Have you finished your homework?"
"I'm almost done." After saying this, Gu Xi added, "I'll be done soon."
Gu Shao did not say anything and handed the two books in his hand to Gu Xi.
— — They were the few basic knowledge books that she had seen on Gu Shao's bookshelf before.
"Are you giving them to me?" Gu Xi's eyes flashed with surprise and she looked up at Gu Shao with uncertainty.
This was the first time Gu Shao came to Gu Xi's room. He stood at the door and looked inside. Apart from the pink color that was a little stimulating, everything else was very neat and tidy.
At this moment, Gu Shao caught a glimpse of a few books on the bookshelf.
These books should have been brought here by Gu Xi.
To Gu Shao's surprise, more than 95% of Gu Xi's books were familiar to him, and most of them were his.
Gu Shao's eyes moved slightly. He lowered his head and looked at the expectant girl, and the smile on his face softened a little.
"You can read them, but don't let it affect your studies." Gu Shao emphasized seriously.
However, it was not difficult to notice that his tone was not as serious as before.
"I won't! Don't worry, Dad. " Gu Xi gave Gu Shao a big smile and promised while happily taking the books from his hands.
"Thank you, Dad!"
Gu Xi did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Gu Shao seemed to be in a good mood.
Should she take advantage of the fact that he was in a good mood and confess to him that she had just used his ID number to register?
Since it was Gu Xi's decision, Gu Shao said, "I'm in the study. Come over and sign your homework for me when you're done." He turned around and left.
"Oh, okay."
— —
On the other side, Xu Fei, who was scrolling through his WeChat Moments, saw another post shared by his boss.
It was another post from a public account: "On the Significance of Parents' Teaching by Example."
Xu Fei's finger trembled as he liked the post. "…"
Why did he feel that his boss's style had changed a little too quickly recently?
The key was that when he clicked on the post, his boss actually left a comment under the post: "Only if you're outstanding enough can you bring a good influence to your child."
What was their boss trying to show off in this comment?
Was it because he was different after having a child? Would his boss start soliciting votes on his WeChat Moments in a few days?
Xu Fei casually complained in his heart. He would never have thought that this complaint would become a prophecy one day.
— —
The next day, as soon as Gu Xi arrived at school, she was called to the dean's office.
Seven other people who were selected to participate in the Science League were also called over.
