Chapter 90: What happened? Why did Gu Shao sign up to the competition? (2)
Right after Gu Xi had gotten rid of the classmates using classmates should help each other out as an excuse, Dong Mingming, her deskmate, poked her head over and asked in a gossipy way, Gu Xiao Xi, out with the truth. What is your relationship with Gu Chenyi.
No relation. She didnt even know him. Gu Xi didnt know what to make of that.
I guess hes just a very friendly person and decided to help me carry the books back since we will be in the same competition and that I am a girl. That was the best reason that Gu Xi could think of.
As soon as she was done talking, however, she got a yeah right look from Dong Mingming.
I might believe that if it was someone else but not Gu Chenyi, grumbled Dong Mingming. Gu Chenyi was very much like Sheng Xiuyan at school. He may not appear to be as cold and distant as Sheng Xiuyan and appear more friendly but, deep down inside, they were the same.
Gu Chenyi was the type whod pretend that he saw nothing and walk around a girl who fell in front of him.*
Granted, the girls classmate later on revealed that the girl fell purposefully.
All in all, he wasnt one who was eager to lend a helping hand.
Not to mention that he was smiling when he walked in with Gu Xis books, and a happy smile at that?!
That was too bizarre
Dong Mingming grumbled to herself.
After hearing what Dong Mingming had just said, Gu Xi stopped in the middle of tidying up her examination papers. Who did you say he is?
Who are you asking about?
What did you say his name is? Gu Xi turned and asked Dong Mingming.
Hes Gu Chenyi.
Gu Xi pulled over the gift package of examination questions given to her by the dean after she had completed her homework assignments.
In the past, Liming would also arrange for similar practices and examinations before a competition.
Gu Xi opened up a set of test questions and scanned over them. They were still the familiar content and familiar type of questions.
Gu Xi had already done all of the past examinations before so she pulled out a set of predictive questions, all 20 pages of it.
I wonder if I had fallen behind.
Gu Xi brought up a timer app on her cellphone as she mumbled to herself.
Gu Xi started working on the set of questions as the timer started.
Per the rules, the final round was for two contestants on each team to complete as many questions as they could in 60 minutes. Each correct answer would worth one point and each incorrect one would reduce the final score by 1.
Quickly, her 60 minutes were up. Gu Xi had completed 11 problems and 2 of them were incorrect.
She was not too happy with that outcome.
Yup, I had fallen behind. She grumbled.
That particular outcome, however, would surprise any teacher at HSAU had they seen it. Both her speed and accuracy were impressive.

Translators rambling:
I think girls in China needs to work on better balances. Sure seem to read a lot of girls falling, intentional or otherwise. No boys like a klutz, definitely not your current (or future) CEOs.
