Gu Dazhi watched Gu Wang approach the car, closing the umbrella as he got in. Dazhi stuffed a paper bag in his arms, “Eat this first, it’s freshly cooked honey hawthorn, then when you go home, your mother will cook dinner for you.”
Gu Wang held the warm hawthorns, and after eating two of them, he heard Gu Dazhi say, “Have you gotten into any fights recently?”
“…” Gu Wang was speechless as he choked. Gu Dazhi’s tone sounded worried. After coughing out the hawthorn in his mouth, Gu Wang announced very seriously, “Dad, listen carefully, I want to take the exam for A university.”
A University?
Gu Dazhi thought he had heard wrong, but he was not good at crushing his son’s dreams, so he could only detour, “Wangwang, dad thinks you should set a smaller goal first, for example, try taking a normal college degree first, how about it?”
A University was the highest rated institution, higher than the score requirement for Tsinghua University in the world where Gu Wang was from. The maximum score was 750, and University A required students to get a score of 700. Even the top picks of some schools could not reach such a score.
Gu Wang was also taken aback when he checked this score. This was a direct cut of 99% of people who wanted to enter.
Hence why Gu Dazhi reacted like so. Gu Wang wanted to get a seven-hundred test score, half of which was three-hundred-five, which he could barely even reach.
Gu Wang didn’t intend to continue the topic with Gu Dazhi. It was normal for Gu Dazhi not to believe him, after all, the original body was a student who couldn’t even get 200 points.
Perhaps sensing Gu Wang’s emotions, Gu Dazhi reached out and rubbed his hair, “If you really want to take the exam, Dad will find you the best tutor!”
Gu Wang bulged his cheeks, “No need, I can do it myself.”
Gu Dazhi was too happy. If nothing else, he was very pleased with Gu Wang’s few words today. He didn’t care whether or not he could do it. Gu Dazhi was satisfied he could speak a few sensible words. Gu Dazhi really wanted to say that felt guilty towards Gu Wang. Because of the demolition and relocation, the family’s business was growing more and more. They had no time to take care of Gu Wang, so most of his life he was on his own. By the time they could take care of him, he had already given up.
After the rainstorm, the sky was clear and bright, and the leaves of the camphor trees in the school were glistening .
Gu Wang came especially early to put the umbrella on He Qinghuan’s desk before he arrived at the school. Wangwang had just sat down when Song Zhiyan ran in with a bun in his mouth followed by Shen Zhao flashing across the corridor.
“You came so early?”
“Hurry, give me the homework ah. I played games at Zhao’s house until three AM. Zhaozi* is really too good. If I play with him in the future I’ll be damned!” Song Zhiyan swallowed the bun down in a few mouthfuls, and pulled the schoolbag that Gu Wang hadn’t put onto the desk yet, “Quickly, let me copy your homework.”
*term of endearment
Gu Wang kindly reminded him, “I did it blindly.”
He didn’t lie, although he knew all the answers, he had to control the rate of right and wrong, he had to deliver his accumulated knowledge slowly, and finally surprise those people’s eyes.
Song Zhiyan had already copied it, “I know you did it blindly, but I’m too lazy to do it myself. Anyway, we are at about the same level every time. It’s best to copy yours.”
When Song Zhiyan finished copying the last question, the representative of the Chinese class came to collect the homework. Song Zhiyan handed the two papers to her, “Xiao* Ou is so beautiful today too!”
*term of endearment
Gu Wang, “…”
Meng Ou’s hair was dyed light pink, and she had only a white tank top worn under the open school uniform, the zipper barely zipped to her chest. Just by looking at her stylish and hip appearance, it was hard to tell that her grades were in the top ten. She was the principal’s daughter, otherwise the hair color alone would be enough to get her punished.
Meng Ou smiled and moved to collect other students’ homework without replying.
Song Zhiyan lay on the table, staring at Meng Ou’s back, “She looks really good.”
Gu Wang nodded perfunctorily. Meng Ou was pretty, but it had nothing to do with them, especially Song Zhiyan. Song Zhiyan almost turned into Meng Ou’s dog. In his words, “Licking the dog*, licking the dog, until the end, everything is perfect.”
*kneeling and flattering without dignity, usually towards someone who doesn’t feel the same romantically about them
Gu Wang didn’t know whether or not Song Zhiyan would lick it anyway. Although Meng Ou looked casual and like the type that loved to play around, in fact, she was someone with a clear mind. Meng Ou ended up as a high wage professor in the book, and married a young and promising director of the research institute.
To be precise, she wouldn’t like trash like Zhiyan.
Gu Wang thought it was an objective fact, he himself was also waste in the eyes of others.
So he poked Song Zhiyan on the shoulder, “Yan Dog, do you want to catch Meng Ou or not?”
Song Zhiyan’s eyes lit up, “Do you have a way!?”
Gu Wang, “Everything about you is inferior, so you can only study well. Can’t you see that Meng Ou likes to study?”
Song Zhiyan looked at Meng Ou subconsciously. She was standing next to He Qinghuan’s table, covering her mouth and smiling, which was completely different from the attitude towards him and Wangwang.
Song Zhiyan pondered for a while, just when Gu Wang thought he was going to refuse, he slammed his fist on the table, “I’ll do it, you’re studying hard for He Qinghuan, so I will study hard for her!”
Song Zhiyan roared, and the whole class looked at them, including He Qinghuan.
Gu Wang, “…..”
Not surprisingly, Gu Wang saw the thoughtfulness and meaning in He Qinghuan’s eyes, and there was a hint of irony in it.
Just when he had finally drawn his distance from He Qinghuan, he fell short.
Before noon, the whole grade knew that the scumbag Gu Wang was working hard to chase their Unreachable Flower, He Qinghuan.

The author has something to say: Come, let’s see what a pig teammate looks like. Right, that’s right, it looks like Song Zhiyan.
