Chapter 229: "What is that and why are there so many people over there?" (2)
Gu Xi, you must have faith in yourself. You got this, added Dong Mingming with a look of seriousness. Nevertheless, the look on her suggested more that she was saying, Gu Xi, hang in there. Dont drop.
Having said that, Dong Mingming thought about it some, gritted her teeth, and said, Worse case scenario, as I have said in the past, Ill take the English ones from you.
And, and, maybe the Top Student literature one.
Dong Mingming thought that Gu Xi had been unsettling all morning and very much looked like an eggplant that had been pelted by hale because of the 39 exercise books. Which was the reason that she was doing her best in trying to comfort her.
What she didnt know was that Gu Xi was very pleased for losing the bet of 39 exercise books. What Gu Xi was really worried about was the parent-teacher conference in the afternoon.
Even though Gu Shao had promised that he will be there for the parent-teacher conference in the morning, Gu Xi was still worried.
On her phone, there was just the Not bad and Pay attention in class texts from Gu Shao and nothing else.
Gu Xi really wished that he had said something else.
That being said, she was also worried that she would receive a message from Gu Shao telling her that he would not be able to make the parent-teacher conference because something else important had popped up.
Gu Xis odd nervousness lasted the entire morning and into the afternoon.
All the way until she finally received another message from Gu Shao: [Almost arriving at your school.]
Gu Xi started cleaning to desk.
She first stacked all of her text books and notebooks from on top of her desk and inside her drawer neatly in two stacks according to subject and size and placed them inside her drawer. Then she folded up nicely all the examination and exercise papers and neatly placed them inside the drawer. She even flattened out her used scratch papers, stacked them up neatly, and placed them inside her drawer, leaving a very clean desktop.
After that, she pulled out a few wet towelettes and scrubbed down her desk.
Not only did she tend to her desktop and her drawer, she even had all nooks and crannies covered.
Dong Mingming, next to her, was dumbfounded when she saw Gu Xi cleaning up in her excited state.
Yes, it was necessary to clean ones desk up a little because their parents were on their way.
She, too, cleaned up. But that was only limited to placing all the stuff on her desk inside the drawer and also hid a few manga that she didnt want her parents to see. It was nowhere close to what Gu Xi had done.
A little bit over the top, dont you think, Classmate Gu Xi? asked Dong Mingming in a blue tone.
Pausing a little, when Gu Xi looked over at her, Dong Mingming carried on and mumbled, You dont give me the feeling that this is going to be a parent-teacher conference at all.
Upon hearing that, Gu Xi lifted her brows and asked, What is it like then?
That you are welcoming some important guest, said Dong Mingming very determinately. And the kind of super level VVVVIP guest at that.
