Seeing that everyone had arrived, the head teacher began to talk about this year's Science League.
"Some of you have already participated in the Science League of B City High School, while some of you haven't. However, I believe that even those who haven't participated in it have heard of this competition. Although it is not a national competition, it is a very valuable competition."
After a pause, the head teacher glanced at them and said, "Similarly, this competition will be a very meaningful experience for all of you. I hope that you can take it seriously and do your best. Of course, the fact that all of you were selected to represent our affiliated high school in the competition means that all of you are the most outstanding students of your respective grades. I believe that all of you will be able to achieve a very good result and bring glory to our school … "
Before the head teacher finished his speech, Gu Xi vaguely heard a very soft 'tsk' sound next to her.
Gu Xi didn't need to guess who it was.
Turning her head, Gu Xi looked in the direction of Sheng Xiuyan, who was not far away. As expected, this person's face was filled with black lines, and he had an expression that said, "I've successfully made you sick."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a young man standing next to Sheng Xiuyan. At this moment, this person's expression was exactly the same as Sheng Xiuyan's.
Gu Xi: "…" She had always thought that there would only be one Sheng Xiuyan who was so 'otherworldly' and didn't even pretend to be awesome.
As if noticing the expressions of these two people, the head teacher glared at the two of them and said, "You two better get ready. Don't be sloppy."
"Also, you're going to participate in the competition. Don't cause trouble."
These words were directed at Sheng Xiuyan and the student next to him.
Based on the head teacher's understanding of these two people, they were already a headache when they weren't together. Now that they were together, who knew what new tricks they would play.
The two people who were called out by the head teacher glanced at each other.
"Did you hear that?" Sheng Xiuyan glanced at Gu Chenyi and said coldly.
Gu Chenyi retorted bluntly, "Why do I feel like I'm talking about you? You're the one who should be careful. "
"I don't need you to worry about me. But you, on the other hand, don't you have anything better to do?" Sheng Xiuyan retorted, specifically pointing out that Gu Chenyi had nothing better to do than to join in on the fun and drag the team down.
Hearing this, Gu Chenyi snorted in displeasure. However, when he thought of the purpose of this trip, he immediately became complacent. "I'm happy to do so."
If not for the fact that Xixi was going to take part in the competition, he would not have been so bored as to participate in such a competition.
Fortunately, he acted quickly. Otherwise, this opportunity would have been snatched away by Gu Yanxiao.
Gu Chenyi smiled smugly.
— —
On the other side, the head teacher no longer paid any attention to these two 'problematic scholars'. He retracted his gaze and introduced some of the key points of this year's competition to them.
"Due to the delay of the previous comprehensive examination, we don't have much time to prepare for this year's competition. The school won't be providing tuition for all of you. Here are the practical test questions that our teachers have sorted out, as well as this year's prediction questions. Take these back and read them quickly."
The head teacher pointed to a few stacks of books on the table. These were the pre-competition gift bags that the school had prepared for each of the students.
While the few of them went to collect the gift bags, Gu Chenyi took the opportunity to move to Gu Xi's side.
"Xi, cough, Gu Xi?"
Hearing someone call out to her, Gu Xi was stunned. She turned around and saw that Shao Nian, who had been standing beside Sheng Xiuyan just now, was standing next to her and looking at her with a smile.
For some reason, Gu Xi instantly thought of a husky when she saw the other party's expression.
Gu Xi: "…"
What a silly smile.
He was clearly a handsome young man before, but now … he's probably an idiot.
Gu Xi complained in her heart. As if she was hiding from a strange person, she moved two steps to the side without a trace.
"What's the matter?" Gu Xi asked. Her face was full of "I don't know you" and "Who are you" expressions.
Upon seeing this, the smile on Gu Chenyi's face froze.
I almost forgot that Xixi probably doesn't know us yet.
After all, given Second Uncle's character, he probably hasn't even told Gu Xi about the existence of her family.
She heard from Grandpa that Gu Xi didn't have a good life in her previous home. Because they were afraid that Gu Xi would be traumatized by the existence of her 'family', the Gu family had always been very careful around Gu Xi.
Even Old Master Gu, who desperately wanted to see his granddaughter, only dared to sneak a peek. He didn't dare to appear in front of Gu Xi rashly.
Thus, Gu Chenyi thought for a while and decided not to tell Gu Xi about their previous relationship before the formal introduction. He didn't want to scare Xixi or cause her any trouble.
But it didn't matter. He could use this opportunity to improve her impression of him.
Gu Chenyi was secretly pleased.
Then, the head teacher rolled his eyes at him.
"What I'm saying is the main point. Listen carefully." After a pause, the head teacher continued, "I won't split you into groups now. Tomorrow, we'll have a four-subject test. At that time, the teacher will split you into groups according to your situation."
"Take these test questions and go back to class."
After the head teacher finished speaking, Gu Xi also prepared to take the test questions.
However, as soon as she reached out, her big gift bag was intercepted by someone.
Gu Xi looked at Gu Chenyi, who was next to her, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She reminded her, "Classmate, you're taking two sets." One of them was hers.
"I know." Gu Chenyi smiled at Gu Xi in a friendly manner. "It's too heavy. I'll help you carry it back."
Gu Xi frowned. "…" It wasn't light, but it wasn't so heavy that she couldn't carry it, okay?
Moreover, she didn't seem to know this' warm-hearted classmate 'in front of her.
No, Gu Xi refused. Gu Chenyi had already picked up the two big gift bags and walked toward Class 7.
—
Gu Chenyi's appearance caused quite a stir in Class 7.
"Oh my god, Gu Chenyi?" Noticing Gu Chenyi walking into their classroom, a girl exclaimed softly.
"It's really him. Why is he in our class?"
"Eh? Behind him is Gu Xi. "Soon, someone noticed Gu Xi behind Gu Chenyi and was astonished.
"Is Gu Chenyi … helping Gu Xi carry her books?"
"What's going on?" "Do they know each other?" "Could it be that Gu Chenyi was the one who gave her the breakfast of love?" "What's their relationship?" "Could it be …" "No matter what their relationship is, I'm jealous."
Everyone was talking at once. Even after Gu Chenyi left, the shock on everyone's faces did not dissipate.
Wang Yankai and the others were also surprised and asked Sheng Xiuyan, who came back almost at the same time, "Brother Yan, what's going on? Why did you go to the teacher's office? Why did Young Master Yi come with you? Moreover …"
Moreover, he was helping Gu Xi carry her books!
Shouldn't this be what Brother Yan should do?
"Brother Yan, you can't do this. If you don't take the initiative, Sheng Xiuyan …" Before Liu Yangyang could finish his sentence, Sheng Xiuyan glared at him and made him swallow his words.
"What the hell?" What did it have to do with him?
"Nonsense." Sheng Xiuyan snorted and looked in the direction that Gu Chenyi left. A strange look flashed across his face.
What's wrong with that guy again?
…
On the other side, Gu Xi finally managed to get rid of the gossiping classmates by saying that they should help each other out. At this moment, Dong Mingming, who was at the same table as her, came over and asked with a gossipy expression, "Gu Xiaoxi, tell me the truth. What's your relationship with him?"
"There's no relationship." She did not even know him. Gu Xi did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"It's probably because that classmate is very helpful and happened to be participating in the competition together. He also saw that I'm a female classmate, so he helped me carry it back." This was the most reasonable reason Gu Xi could think of.
However, as soon as she said this, Dong Mingming immediately gave her a look that said, "Like hell I'll believe you."
"I might believe you if you said it was someone else, but how could Gu Chenyi possibly do that?" Dong Mingming complained. Gu Chenyi was basically the same as Sheng Xiuyan in school. Although Gu Chenyi did not act as cold as Sheng Xiuyan and seemed to be more friendly and easy-going, they were essentially the same.
Gu Chenyi was the kind of person who could pretend not to see a girl falling in front of him and walk around her.
Although that girl's classmate later revealed that she had deliberately pretended to fall.
However, all in all, Gu Chenyi was not the kind of person who was willing to help others.
And just now, when she saw Gu Chenyi carrying Gu Xi's thing back, he was actually smiling and laughing quite happily?!
That was too strange …
Dong Mingming muttered in his heart.
Upon hearing Dong Mingming's ridicule, Gu Xi, who was tidying up the test papers, suddenly paused. "Who did you say?"
"What do you mean?"
"What did you say that person's name was?" Gu Xi turned her head and asked Dong Mingming.
"Gu Chenyi."
"Gu?"
"Yes." Dong Mingming nodded suspiciously.
Gu Xi's eyes flickered slightly. His surname was also Gu?
Although Gu was not a rare surname, combined with the other party's various "strange" behaviors, Gu Xi suddenly remembered that Gu Shao had told her before that there were three young men in the Gu family who seemed to be about her age …
"Don't tell me you really don't know him?" Dong Mingming asked from the side. He felt that Gu Xi's confused expression just now did not seem to be an act.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xi smiled and said, "We will get to know each other in the future."
Gu Shao had said that the people on her grandfather's side liked her. Gu Xi guessed that Gu Chenyi should be from the Gu family.
Thinking carefully, the other party actually looked a little similar to Gu Shao.
The smile on Gu Xi's face widened a little.
— —
On the other hand, Dong Mingming was puzzled by Gu Xi's words.
At this moment, he heard Gu Xi ask again, "Do you know which Chen and which Yi are Gu Chenyi?"
This was one of the most famous people in the school. Of course, Dong Mingming knew who Gu Xi was. However, wasn't Gu Xi's focus a little strange?
Puzzled, Dong Mingming found a piece of draft paper and wrote down Gu Chenyi's name. "Here, this is it."
Gu Xi looked at the three words on the draft paper and silently memorized the other party's name.
— —
At night, back home.
After completing her homework, Gu Xi took out the test gift bag that the teaching director had given her previously.
Previously, when she was in Liming High School, the school would also arrange for the corresponding practice and test before the competition.
Gu Xi flipped open one of the test questions and quickly looked through it. The content was still familiar, and the type of questions were still familiar to her.
Gu Xi had done the questions of previous competitions before, so she simply flipped through a set of prediction questions. There were a total of 20 pages.
"I wonder if I have regressed."
Gu Xi muttered to herself as she took out her phone and adjusted the time.
When the timer started, Gu Xi began to do the questions.
According to the rules of the competition, the last round was to do the questions. For 60 minutes, a team of two people would do the questions without limit. One point would be awarded for each correct question, and one point would be deducted for each wrong question. The final score would be recorded according to the final score.
Soon, the 60-minute time limit was up. Gu Xi finished 11 pages and made a total of 2 wrong questions.
Gu Xi was somewhat dissatisfied with this result.
"It seems that I have really regressed," Gu Xi muttered.
However, if the teachers of The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China saw this result, they would definitely be surprised. In their opinion, this result was already very good. Not only was it fast, but it was also accurate.
— —
After doing another set of test questions, Gu Xi put away the exercise papers on the table and logged into the website of the "Heavenly Creation Competition" to take a look at the competition information.
When she saw that the status column already showed that she had passed the examination, Gu Xi heaved a sigh of relief.
However, she did not know that because of her registration, the higher-ups of the competition had just ended a secret meeting.
— — An hour ago, the staff member in charge of reviewing the information of the participants of the "Heavenly Creation Competition" was shocked when he saw the registration information of "Gu Shao". He almost thought that he had seen wrongly.
Then, he double-checked it a few times and found that this "participant"'s identity, name, and other information were exactly the same as that of the big boss with the same name.
The reviewer was shocked and directly reported this matter to the leaders of the competition team.
When they heard this news, the higher-ups of the competition team were also shocked and dumbfounded.
— — What's going on? Mr. Gu Shao came to sign up?
Although they had only listed the commercial partners for this "Heavenly Creation Competition" and had not announced the official partners yet, NTN was one of the organizers of the "Heavenly Creation Competition".
To put it bluntly, this competition was a disguised service for NTN. During the competition, the outstanding projects would receive NTN's investment, and the final winning project would be directly incorporated into NTN and have an independent research and development room at NTN's center.
And as far as they knew, Gu Shao seemed to be the one who proposed the "Heavenly Creation Competition".
The person who made the rules was going to participate in the competition personally?
No matter how they thought about it, it was unlikely.
"Could it be that Mr. Gu wants to sign up to personally test the rationality and stability of the whole process?" Someone guessed.
Another person nodded and felt that it made sense. "It seems like that's the only possibility."
"Then, should we pass or not?"
"Pass, why wouldn't we pass? If Mr. Gu wants to participate in the test supervision, of course he has to pass. Moreover, even if Mr. Gu uses his own information, there's nothing wrong with it, "someone said.
The leader of the higher-ups thought about it and nodded. "Let's go through the standard procedures first. I'll be going to NTN for a meeting the day after tomorrow. If Mr. Gu can see him, he can ask him about this test."
…
Thus, Gu Xi's review was strangely and easily passed.
Gu Xi looked at the competition's official forum for a while and saw some professional discussions. Suddenly, she had some new inspiration for their project. She originally wanted to discuss it with [AAA] and [Lin] in the group.
However, at this moment, the movements outside the door and in the living room attracted Gu Xi's attention. She was stunned. The next second, Gu Xi quickly turned off the computer and turned off the lights. She rushed to the bed and crawled under the blanket.
The whole process was done in one go.
Outside the house, Gu Shao had just arrived home. When he saw the light under Gu Xi's door suddenly turn off, Gu Shao frowned.
It's so late. Why isn't she sleeping?
Should I think of a way to control this child's schedule? Especially when I'm busy and can't control her.
Gu Shao thought in his heart.
In the room, Gu Xi curled up under the blanket and listened attentively to the movements outside. When she knew that everything was normal, Gu Xi heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest with lingering fear.
Fortunately, she hadn't been discovered.
—
The next day, Gu Xi went to school.
After the second class in the afternoon, the eight people who were selected to participate in the Science League were arranged to go to a specially prepared test room.
This classroom completely simulated the examination room of the Science League. Each seat was separated by a partition so that no one would disturb each other.
Because this test would determine the groups and appearances of the students in the Science League, everyone was in a serious position.
Except for one person … Gu Chenyi.
"Test? What test? "Gu Chenyi's face was full of confusion.
Yesterday, when the head teacher was talking about the groups and the test, this young man's mind was filled with thoughts of how to get into Xixi's good books. He didn't listen to a single word.
Now that he was called over, Gu Chenyi was empty-handed, except for the basketball he had just brought over from the basketball court.
Gu Xi looked at Gu Chenyi.
Ever since Gu Xi found out that Gu Chenyi was family, she felt that he had become more delicate and good-looking.
Moreover, after putting on a "family filter", Gu Xi didn't feel that this person was stupid. Instead, she felt that he was quite cute.
However, it seemed that he didn't intend to reveal his identity to her.
"I'll lend it to you." Gu Xi went over and handed him a pen.
“！”
Seeing the pen that Gu Xi handed over, Gu Chenyi was dumbfounded. Xixi actually took the initiative to lend him a pen! And she even smiled at him in such a friendly manner!
It's only been a day!
It must be because his performance yesterday was too cool that Xixi's favorability towards him was raised to a high point all of a sudden.
Gu Chenyi was secretly excited.
On the other side, Gu Xi stuffed the pen into Gu Chenyi's hand. After thinking for a while, she also gave him half of the draft paper.
"Oh right, here's an eraser for you too," Gu Xi said as she cut half of her eraser with a utility knife and handed it to him.
Holding the pile of stationery in his hand, no, it was the care and concern of his family, Gu Chenyi was almost moved to tears. Xixi was too good to him!
