To Gu Xiao, those who liked her would not alienate her because of this. There was no need for her to care about those who did not like her.
On the other hand, Zhou Luo seemed to be very concerned about Gu Xiao’s feelings. During their cla.s.ses, she often looked at Gu Xiao with pity.
Zhou Luo’s studies were very poor. The students all said that she was focused on chasing celebrities, and Gu Xiao also thought so. However, she was not the fan of any handsome men or boy bands. Instead, she liked a middle-aged male celebrity and even made a small card of his picture and placed it in her stationery box.
However, the card looked very old.
Gu Xiao did not intend to be close to Zhou Luo, but Zhou Luo seemed to keep approaching her, intentionally or unintentionally.
Gu Xiao did not deliberately avoid her and only treated her as an ordinary cla.s.smate.
After a few days of peace, today was the school’s weekly test.
…..
The weekly test format of No.i High School was very special. They used different papers. One for the advanced cla.s.s and one for the ordinary cla.s.s. The rankings were also divided.
Due to Chu An’s nightly tutoring, Gu Xiao was already proficient in doing questions, especially basic questions that the ordinary cla.s.s did.
The weekly test only tested languages and mathematics. Gu Xiao could finish each test about 20 minutes in advance.
The teacher in the examination hall also realized that Gu Xiao had done it very quickly. Initially, he thought that she was just blindly writing questions that she didn’t know how to do, but when he graded the papers, he was dumbfounded.
No one expected Gu Xiao’s score!
Even though she did the basic papers, most of the students in Cla.s.s 10 were only close to the pa.s.sing mark. As for Gu Xiao, she scored 120 marks in Chinese, 135 marks in Mathematics, and 127 marks in English!
One had to know that this was one of the top scores in the ordinary cla.s.s.
As soon as the results came out, the students of the ordinary cla.s.s noticed this new talent.
Chu An looked at the results and nodded in satisfaction. Zhou Luo even cast her a look of admiration.
When Gu Xiao went to look at the rankings, she saw that she was ranked 12th in the ordinary cla.s.s. She heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at the rankings of the advanced cla.s.s on the other side. The words “Chu An” were shockingly written on the first place.
After returning to her cla.s.sroom, Zhou Luo immediately went up to Gu Xiao.
“Gu Xiao, can you teach me in my studies?”
“Me?” Gu Xiao had lived for three lifetimes, and this was the first time she had heard someone ask her for tutoring help. She waved her hand helplessly. “I can’t do it either. I’m just usually a little hardworking.”
“But I’m also very hardworking.” Zhou Luo rummaged through her bag and opened a notebook. It was densely filled with important points, and some of them were even marked with fluorescent pens.
“But you have to work hard and not just take notes. You still have to do questions and revise…” Before Gu Xiao could finish speaking, Zhou Luo took out two more exercise books that had been completed. She was speechless for a moment.
Seeing that Zhou Luo was staring straight at her, Gu Xiao could only say, “Could it be that your pursuit of celebrities has affected your studies?”
“Chasing celebrities?” Zhou Luo was stunned. After a while, she said, “1 don’t chase celebrities.”
“Then don’t you have a photo of a celebrity in your pencil case? You often take it out and look at it in cla.s.s.”
“Huh?” Zhou Luo was a little uncomfortable. She leaned close to Gu Xiao’s ear and said, “That’s my father.”
Ji Yao looked at the rankings and frowned.
She remembered that during the recording of the show, Gu Xiao’s results were the worst. She did not even pa.s.s all her subjects.
At that time, she had done an advanced paper, but it could be seen that all her basics were not solid.
But now, her results could actually be ranked twelfth in the ordinary cla.s.s.
This speed of improvement made Ji Yao a little nervous.
Ji Yao looked at her ranking. She was always second place in the grade.
She would never be able to surpa.s.s Chu An.
She comforted herself in her heart. No matter how much Gu Xiao had grown, there was no way she could surpa.s.s her in one subject in a short month.
She stood in front of the rankings for a while and felt someone leaning over.
She took a look. It was Chu An.
But why did he keep looking at the rankings today?
Ji Yao noticed the imperceptible smile on his lips. Following his gaze, she realized that he was looking at Gu Xiao’s name.
Ji Yao gritted her teeth and left.
When she heard Zhou Luo say that it was her father, Gu Xiao was stunned.
She seemed to have discovered a shocking secret..
