"This is it. Take a look for yourself," Dong Mingming said as he handed the phone over.
Gu Xi immediately saw the latest post in the forum. The title was [Art Festival's Photo Wall Freshly Released! Let's see who's in it!] It was a post.
"Was it the photo of the smiling wall we were forced to take last time?" Gu Xi recalled and asked.
"Yes." Dong Mingming nodded helplessly.
"What's the matter?" Gu Xi asked.
"Take a look for yourself." Dong Mingming clicked on the post, opened the largest photo, and pointed at one of the photos.
Gu Xi looked over and saw that it was a photo of Dong Mingming with a big sunflower on his head when they were forced to leave the library.
She didn't expect this photo to be placed in a rather conspicuous position.
"I thought it would be fine if this photo was placed in an inconspicuous position. I didn't expect it to be placed in the middle!" Dong Mingming said with a look of despair.
"And why are the other people's masks so beautiful? Why am I the only one who got such an ugly one?"
Hearing Dong Mingming's complaints, Gu Xi noticed the other photos. Indeed, although the other people on the photo wall were also wearing masks, most of them were cute little bunnies, little crowns, and so on. The boys were wearing handsome transformers and so on. Dong Mingming's big sunflower was particularly prominent in the photos.
"Ahhh, this is so embarrassing. Is there a crack? Let me hide in it! My illustrious reputation has been ruined just like that. "Dong Mingming continued to howl.
After saying that, Dong Mingming suddenly turned his head and looked at Gu Xi sympathetically. Then, he patted her shoulder.
"Yours …" It was even worse.
"Forget it. Take a look at it yourself. You have to be mentally prepared." Dong Mingming sighed and covered his eyes.
Upon hearing Dong Mingming's words, the corners of Gu Xi's mouth twitched slightly. "…" Why? She suddenly had a bad feeling.
Gu Xi's gaze quickly swept across the entire photo wall. Sure enough, it took her less than two seconds to find her photo.
If the position of Dong Mingming's photo was considered conspicuous, then Gu Xi's photo was the center of the center.
Not only that, but because of the layout of the smiling wall, Gu Xi's photo in the middle section was bigger than the other sections.
Compared to Dong Mingming's lowly sunflower mask, Gu Xi's musty green alien mask was truly ugly. It was so ugly that it was tragic. Compared to the little white rabbits and kittens around him, he was simply 'outstanding'.
"Does this count as me sacrificing myself for the school's art festival?" Gu Xi looked at Dong Mingming and asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Dong Mingming nodded with difficulty. "Student Gu Xiaoxi, promise me that no matter what happens, you won't take things too hard. You must stay calm, okay?"
Gu Xi: "…"
— —
As it turned out, Dong Mingming's ominous premonition was not wrong at all.
Originally, the post on the photo wall did not receive too much attention. Most people who entered were just discussing their own photos or the photos of their classmates.
In the end, someone suddenly took a screenshot of a photo.
[Haha, look at what I found.]
The person posted a screenshot of Gu Xi's photo.
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples. Under this comment, there was a heated discussion.
[I noticed it before, but I was too embarrassed to say it.]
[Hahaha, this photo is too eye-catching. It's hard not to notice it.]
[She's eye-catching because of her abilities.]
[The other photos are pretty good. What's with this sudden change in style?]
[She's so ugly that it's too eye-catching. No, I can't be serious.]
[Haha, I'm dying of laughter. Is this deliberately funny?]
[Why would this photo be posted here? Don't you think it's weird?]
…
Looking at the comments, Dong Mingming glanced at Gu Xi with some worry. However, soon, the thing that worried her the most happened.
In the comment section, someone quickly recognized Gu Xi in the photo.
[If I'm not wrong, this photo is Gu Xi, right?]
[Who? Gu Xi? The one from Year Two Class 7?]
[F * ck! Xishen, it can't be …]
[Oh my god, it's really her.]
Although half of Gu Xi's face and mouth were covered because of the mask, her eyes were still very recognizable.
[I really don't understand why Gu Xi has to do this.] Isn't it good to be cute like other people?
Looking at this person's comment, Gu Xi really wanted to reply: It's really not her idea.
…
At this time, the game on the court was over. When Gu Chenyi came over, he was a little disappointed to see Gu Xi ignoring him. However, he saw Gu Xi and Dong Mingming holding their phones and frowning.
"What's wrong?" Gu Chenyi asked.
"The two of us are being dismembered in the forum," Dong Mingming said and explained to Gu Chenyi about the photo wall.
At this time, more and more people were discussing this in the forum. Someone even opened a poll: Which one of the photos on the photo wall do you think is the ugliest?
As expected, Gu Xi came in first place with a big score, and Dong Mingming came in second.
Looking at the comments in the forum, Gu Chenyi's face turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Where did this photo come from?"
"It should be from the Literature and Art Department. They are in charge of this. They are the ones who posted the photo." Dong Mingming said and frowned as he looked at the post's comment section. "Why do I feel like someone is slandering us?"
Indeed, everyone's comments were just purely funny. However, gradually, the content of the comments became a little strange.
[It's so ugly.]
[Sorry, I really can't appreciate this.]
[I don't think it's funny. I just think it's so ugly.]
[Gu Xi? She seems to have participated in the voting for the 'student representative'.]
[After seeing this photo, I'm sorry, I can't vote for Gu Xi.]
…
It was obvious that these comments were deliberately slandering him.
Dong Mingming opened the link to the voting for the 'student representative' and suddenly looked anxious. "It's over, it's over. Your votes are also affected."
Originally, Gu Xi's votes were rising rapidly. She was only a few dozen votes away from Gu Xueer and was about to surpass him. However, the gap between them was widened again.
"I know who did it." Gu Chenyi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice. Other than Gu Xueer, he couldn't think of anyone else who would be so crazy.
Maybe Gu Xueer saw that his votes were about to be surpassed by Gu Xi and did such a thing.
"You go back first. I'll go and find her to solve this," Gu Chenyi said with a cold look in his eyes.
They didn't know her well. In the past, they didn't interfere with each other's business. However, Gu Xueer shouldn't have tried to harm Gu Xi.
After saying that, Gu Chenyi was about to leave. However, Gu Xi grabbed his jersey from behind and pulled him back.
"Wait." Gu Xi stopped Gu Chenyi.
"Who are you going to find? Gu Xueer? "If Gu Chenyi could guess, so could Gu Xi. This matter was most likely related to Gu Xueer.
"Yes." Gu Chenyi nodded and promised Gu Xi, "Don't worry, this photo will be deleted before tonight."
Hearing this, Gu Xi shook his head. "The Internet has memories." Therefore, it didn't matter whether the photo was deleted or not.
Gu Xi had experienced such "violence" in the campus forum when he was in Liming.
However, looking at Gu Chenyi's indignant expression and how he wanted to stand up for him, Gu Xi felt warm in his heart.
"I have a way to solve this matter." Gu Xi looked at Gu Chenyi and smiled.
"What is it?" Gu Chenyi asked suspiciously.
Gu Chenyi still didn't understand Gu Xi's plan. However, he watched as Gu Xi saved the "ugly photo" that had been specially screenshotted and changed it to her WeChat profile picture.
"What are you …"
"Haven't you heard of the saying that when the black reaches the bottom, it will naturally turn white?" Gu Xi winked at Gu Chenyi and said with a sly look in her eyes.
And probably because there was no comparison, after changing it to her WeChat profile picture, she found that this photo actually looked good.
Seeing that Gu Chenyi was about to say something, Gu Xi raised her hand and patted him. "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. Hurry up and change your clothes. Let's go home."
Seeing that Gu Xi's calmness did not seem to be fake, Gu Chenyi nodded.

After Gu Xi had dinner with the Gu family, Gu Shao took her home.
Not long after returning home, Gu Xi received a message from a small group chat.
[Gu Yanxiao: Xixi, come out and see if your little brother's new profile picture is handsome.]
Gu Xi clicked on Gu Yanxiao's profile picture and found that the other party had changed her WeChat profile picture to a picture that was exactly the same as hers.
To be precise, it was the same model. In the profile picture, Gu Yanxiao was wearing the same helmet as Gu Xi's. They were at the same angle and had the same expression.
Not only Gu Yanxiao, but also Gu Chenyi and Gu Yanlin had changed their profile pictures.
This alien helmet was originally made by a junior in the Literature and Art Department to complete a task. Even its ugliness was unique on the Internet.
Gu Yanxiao spent a lot of effort to find this helmet from a pile of junk in the Literature and Art Department that had not been thrown away in time.
Then, Gu Yanlin sent another picture.
The picture had the profile pictures of the four people on top, and there were also four stickman figures drawn below. At first glance, one would think that they were the same person, except that Gu Xi's helmet had a pink flower photoshopped on it.
This was a GIF. In the picture, the four little people were twisting their heads and dancing magically.
Looking at this picture, Gu Xi almost spat out the orange juice in her mouth as she laughed.
— —
When Gu Shao came over, he saw Gu Xi in the room, holding her phone and laughing foolishly.
"What's wrong?" Gu Shao asked.
"Oh, this is the picture." Gu Xi jumped from the bed to the door and handed her phone to Gu Shao.
"Dad, do you think I'm ugly in this picture?" Gu Xi asked.
Gu Shao glanced at the picture and said neutrally, "You're not ugly."
But the other three boys were indeed a little ugly.
Gu Shao added silently.
"Hehe, I think so." Gu Xi held her phone and laughed for a while. It was probably because it was too funny that she didn't think it was ugly anymore.
"By the way," Gu Xi thought of something and said, "Dad, I want to sign up for a Youth Innovation Competition. Is that okay?"
"The Soviet Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition?" Gu Shao asked. This competition was one of the youth competitions that A University paid more attention to.
"Yes, yes." Gu Xi nodded.
Gu Shao seemed to think for a moment.
He didn't know why this girl was so keen on participating in this kind of competition. It was fine to participate in some competitions, but it wasn't necessarily a good thing to put too much effort into it and neglect her studies.
However, looking at Gu Xi's expectant face, Gu Shao finally nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing that Gu Shao agreed, Gu Xi was overjoyed.
However, before she could be happy for a few seconds, she heard Gu Shao ask again, "Have you finished your homework?"
The smile on Gu Xi's face froze. "…"
"I'm almost done. I'll finish it soon," Gu Xi said as she quickly put away her phone and ran back to the desk to continue doing her homework.
"A little?"
"Yes, yes." Gu Xi nodded and pointed to the pile next to her. She said a little guiltily, "That's … that's all."
Gu Shao glanced at the pile of exercise books next to Gu Xi's desk and then looked at the time. His eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.
"Come over when you're done with your homework."
"Okay."
—
After Gu Shao left, Gu Xi tried hard to resist the urge to look at the GIF and began to do her homework seriously.
However, on the other hand, after Gu Shao returned to the study, he happened to see someone sending a message in the parents' group chat. He sent a message: [The amount of homework is too large. I hope it can be adjusted reasonably.]
Less than half a minute after Gu Shao sent this message, he received a call from the head teacher.
"Hello, Professor Gu. I hope I'm not bothering you by calling at this time." Teacher Chen's tone was very polite over the phone.
After all, Gu Shao was an authority in the education field. Of course, they had to take his advice seriously.
"Um, Professor Gu, I saw your message in the parents' group chat just now."
"Okay." Gu Shao responded and said, "When your school assigns homework to the students, shouldn't you consider the amount of homework and whether the time it takes for the students to finish the homework will affect the students' normal rest?"
Usually, Gu Shao was more polite to his children's teachers.
This time, there was a rare hint of seriousness in Gu Shao's tone.
When Teacher Chen heard Gu Shao's words, she became nervous and quickly said, "Professor Gu, I was just thinking about explaining this matter to you."
"It's like this," Teacher Chen said in a careful tone, "Normally, we don't have a lot of homework after class. However, because Gu Xi is very talented in her studies and has a good grasp of the knowledge in class, our teachers feel that she can use her free time to expand her knowledge or participate in some meaningful competitions. Gu Xi is very active in this regard."
"Therefore, in addition to the homework, our teachers also provide her with some exercises after class."
The head teacher's words were true.
Almost every teacher wanted to snatch Gu Xi, this good seedling.
If it weren't for the fact that they were worried that Gu Xi would not be able to cope with the workload, they would have wanted Gu Xi to participate in almost all the competitions.
After hearing the head teacher's explanation and praises for Gu Xi, Gu Shao's expression relaxed at a speed visible to the naked eye. He nodded with satisfaction.
Even his tone became much gentler. "Gu Xi has troubled all of you in school. As for the homework after class, you can arrange some for her appropriately. However, you also have to pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Doing too many questions is not necessarily a good thing. You have to strike a balance between work and rest."
"Okay, our school will pay attention to this point." The teacher agreed and silently sighed in her heart. As a parent, Professor Gu is very principled.
However, there was something she did not say. She felt that the amount of homework now seemed to be quite easy for Gu Xi.
— —
On the other side, not long after Gu Shao ended the call with the teacher, Gu Xi ran over.
"You're done?" Gu Shao raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, I'm done." Gu Xi handed the workbook to Gu Shao for inspection.
Gu Xi did her homework very seriously, but her speed was not slow.
Gu Shao silently checked the workbook and signed it.
— — It seemed that he had misunderstood the teacher.
After returning the workbook to Gu Xi, Gu Shao took out a bank card and handed it to Gu Xi.
"Pocket money."
Upon hearing Gu Shao's words, Gu Xi's eyes lit up. She looked at the card that Gu Shao handed over.
This was obviously a new bank card. Furthermore, the card was custom-made with a pink cartoon pattern.
Upon seeing Gu Xi's happy expression, Gu Shao's gaze softened a little. He reminded her again, "You can arrange your own pocket money, but don't spend it recklessly, okay?"
"Okay, I won't spend it recklessly." Gu Xi nodded repeatedly in agreement. She then grinned at Gu Shao and said, "Thank you, Dad!"
She would not spend it recklessly. She did not know how to spend money every month, so she would just save it.
In this way, if she saved two thousand yuan every month, she would have tens of thousands of yuan in four years.
Gu Xi's plan was quite good. However, she did not know that this card was not empty. It was a supplementary card to Gu Shao's own bank card.
This card could take out 30% of the main card's savings.
In other words, no matter how much money Gu Shao had, Gu Xi could take out 30% of it from this card.
However, Gu Shao also asked Wang Wu to add a new function to this card. It was a text message reminder.
— —
On the other side, Gu Xi, who did not know that she had become a rich woman, no, a millionaire, happily returned to her room with her card.
After the excitement, Gu Xi realized that her phone seemed to be a little quiet today. She picked up her phone and was surprised to find that there was not a single message in the [Battle of Tianchang Peak] group chat.
After a moment of confusion, Gu Xi sent some documents that she had thought of today to the group chat.
[X]: I thought of some new functions to add. Can you see if there are any conflicts with our current functions?
Not long after, there were replies.
However, this time, the first person to reply was [Lin].
[Lin]: I looked at it briefly. There are no problems. It's feasible.
[X]: That's good.
[X]: By the way, do we need to meet up before the first round of the presentation to discuss the details and the presentation?
Gu Xi thought of [3A]'s suggestion and asked.
After all, the first round of the presentation was coming up soon. It was necessary for them to meet up.
[Lin] quickly replied: [Sure.]
[AAA]: No!
