Chapter 73: Is “God Xiu” referring to a student in this class? (3)

Oh right, we are having literature next and we have physics, English, and math today. Do you have your textbooks with you? asked Dong Mingming caringly.

I do. The school had sent over the schedule to Gu Shao yesterday and he had given it to her.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

Gu Xi turned to dig through her backpack as she said that.

Dong Mingming, next to her, seemed to have noticed something very mystical all of a sudden. She cocked her head and stuck it in front of Gu Xi in surprise, Gu Xi, I noticed that your irises have a very interesting color.

Dong Mingming looked at Gu Xi from a few different angles to make sure that she was, indeed, seeing what she was seeing.

Gu Xis irises were of a light tan color. It was unnoticeably if one wasnt looking at them closely. But when one looked at them closely, one would notice that they were just a little different from the norm.

Are you wearing contact lens? asked Dong Mingming.

No. This is their true color. I got that from my dad, explained Gu Xi. The corners of her lips lifted a little.

Having said that, Gu Nian pulled out a few textbooks from her backpack.

The textbooks were all knew.

She had left her old textbooks from Liming back at home. These were the new ones that Gu Shao had prepared for her.

They were the same textbooks but she was no longer Lin Xi.

Gu Xi flipped open to the first page of each textbook and scribbled the character Gu Xi on each of them seriously.

Your handwriting is pretty, said Dong Mingming next to her.

She was about to say something else but the literature teacher had already walked inside of the classroom and looked over in their direction. Intimidated, Dong Mingming immediately stopped talking.

The tallest grass gets cut first. She didnt want to be called upon by the literature teacher to recite what they had covered the day before.

Dong Mingming scooted back to her spot quietly and pretended that nothing had happened and she had been reading quietly the entire time. That being said, she still reached her hand over stealthily when the literature teacher and moved her death stare away to show Gu Xi where they would be starting today in the textbook.

No, we dont, said Gu Xi as she shook her head.

She had only saw him once the day she took her entrance examination. She thought Sheng Xiuyan was what Teacher Chen had called him.

After Gu Xi said that she didnt know Sheng Xiuyan, Dong Mingming couldn't help but started gossiping about him with her.

Let me tell you. He may seem uncaring but he was super mighty. His existence was like straight out of a textbook great family background, good looking, and his grades

Super good? Gu Xi completed her sentence for her.

Yes, super good. Why else would he be referred to as God Xiu? Let me tell you, he is entirely like a God of Academia.

Do you know what my wish is? asked Dong Mingming.

To surpass Sheng Xiuyan? asked Gu Xi.

Dong Mingming shook her head right away, Thats impossible.

I only hoped that the one day that my scores came in second, Sheng Xiuyan would have somehow missed that examination.

Seeing the twitch of Gu Xis lips and the you-are-exaggerating-it-too-much look on her, Dong Mingming knew that Gu Xi didnt believe her and added, I am not exaggerating. There is a saying at our school the only way for Sheng Xiuyan to not score the highest is if he had missed the examination.

Having said that, Dong Mingming patted Gu Xi on her hand. I know you dont really get it just from listening to me. You will see what a landslide is during the next monthly examination.

Gu Xi,

Gu Xi glanced over at Sheng Xiuyan once again after Dong Mingming was done talking. Why was it that she felt he was just okay?
