A document pouch next to Gu Shaos hand suddenly caught Gu Xis attention as she lowered her head.

It looked somewhat familiar.

Gu Xi thought about it some and she recalled: This looked a lot like the document pouch that was given to Gu Shao by the principal of Liming yesterday that contained all of her past academic work!

Gu Xi glanced up and Gu Shao, who was on the phone, did not appear to be paying attention to her at the moment.

As she was too curious, Gu Xi reached her hand over stealthily while Gu Shao was distracted, opened up a corner of the document pouch, and carefully peeked at the content inside of it.

It was the copies of some of her awards and award certificates from when she was with that school and some documents from when she had participated in some competitions. And then there were some essays that she had written in the past and some major homework assignments.

Some of them were her award-winning essays and some were used as sample essays by the school.

Gu Xi couldnt really recall exactly which of her essays or major homework assignments were retained by the school.

Right when Gu Xi was about to flip through the corner and look, Gu Shao had already gotten off his call.

Seeing that Gu Shao was looking over, Gu Xi quickly retrieved her hand and gave Gu Shao a I-dont-know-anything-nothing-is-going-ondry smile.

Hows your new school? asked Gu Shao.

Mmm. Gu Xi thought about it some and said with the corners of her lips raised. Not bad.

Gu Shao didnt ask any further and Gu Xi, on the other hand, started frantically trying to recall what she had written in her essays back at Liming.

Most of them were topics assigned by the school scenes of their home villages, time, if you are so-and-so

Oh, right! Then there was one called My Dream. She had written how her dream was to get in NTN Technology Center and then became someone like Gu Shao.

Having thought of that, Gu Xis look froze on her face.

Sure enough, the familiar document pouch was the first thing that Gu Xi saw lying on top of Gu Shaos desk.

Gu Shao walked over quietly and even looked behind her from time to time.

The document pouch in hand, Gu Xi was about to sneak back into her room.

Then, suddenly, Gu Shaos voice rang from behind her.

Whats the matter?

Hearing Gu Shaos voice, Gu Xi, startled, her hand shuddered and she quickly put the document pouch where she found it and turned around with her hands behind her back.

Oh?

Whats the matter? asked Gu Shao again.

Nothing, said Gu Shao while shaking her head.

She perfectly demonstrated what guilty conscience looked like.

Em, that, I need you to sign something for me, said Gu Xi.

Sure, give them to me. Gu Shao nodded.

Em, Ive forgotten them in my room, said Gu Xi as she pointed in the direction of her room with guilty conscience. Let me go get them.

Seeing that Gu Shao had nodded again, Gu Xi dashed out, back into her room, grabbed her homework assignments and returned to the study while feeling relieved the entire time: Lucky she was able to come up with a plausible reason quickly.

You need to sign these. Gu Xi handed her homework assignments over to Gu Shao while still staring intensely at the document pouch lying on the corner of his desk.

Gu Shao, after taking the homework assignments from Gu Xi, flipped it open.

Her handwriting was very pretty and her entire homework notebook looked very neat. Each stroke of hers clearly demonstrated her seriousness.

Her mannerism and attitude made her a good fit for performing scientific research was the idea that crossed Gu Shaos mind.
