Xi Yan shot a glance at Gu Mang before turning her head. “Gu Mang, come outside for a bit.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Mang stood up slowly as her exquisite eyebrows drooped. Putting her hands in her pockets, she left the room with indifference.

Looking at her, Gu Si smiled gently. “Sister, we’ll be going on winter vacation soon. Uncle wants to bring you, Gu Si, and Jinyang to the Lei residence for a stay. He even hired a teacher to help us review for the university entrance exams.

“A stay at the Lei residence?” Gu Mang c.o.c.ked her head to one side and lifted her eyes. They were filled with darkness. Her lips curled suddenly. “Am I very close to you guys?”

Her face was absolutely stunning and her almond shaped eyes gave her a wicked quality.

Gu Yin’s smile froze and she struggled to maintain it. “Sister, your results are poor and Uncle is doing this for your own good.”

Gu Mang did not respond and merely stared at her blankly.

Gu Yin squeezed her fingers and replied, “Uncle tapped on his relations.h.i.+ps and found an exam setter from the team of teachers who set the university entrance exams last year. Their students’ marks usually improve by thirty points so this is a really rare opportunity.”

“Anything else?” Gu Mang asked insipidly.

Gu Yin shook her head. “Nothing else.”

Gu Mang then turned and headed into the cla.s.sroom. Looking at her silhouette, Gu Yin’s eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of crushed ice. She then left Cla.s.s Twenty. Before returning to Cla.s.s One, she gave Lei Xiao a call from the toilet.

“She said that she won’t be coming?” Lei Xiao’s icy voice was heard over the phone.

Gu Yin hummed a “mm” obediently and paused before saying, “Uncle, Sister’s results are just like this. They can’t get any better.”

From a young age, she had won so many awards that there was an entire wall in the house that was filled with them whereas Gu Mang and Gu Si had none. Gu Yin had always been better at studying than Gu Mang given that all of her scores were zeroes. They couldn’t hold a candle to Gu Yin’s abilities even when they were young.

Lei Xiao clearly knew that Gu Mang’s grades were beyond redemption. If one were to search the whole country, n.o.body else would have gotten more zeros than her. She clearly was not cut out for studies!

Finding an exam setter was merely a tactic for him to ease his tense relations.h.i.+p with Gu Mang. Lu Shangjin and Qin Rui were his ultimate goals.

After a brief moment of silence, Lei Xiao replied, “I got it. Go back for your morning reading.”

Gu Yin acknowledged him and hung up the call as she left the toilet. Her eyelids were drooping and the emotions beneath her eyes could not be seen as she pursed her lips.

…

Returning to the cla.s.sroom, Gu Mang’s phone rang not long after.

She fished out her flip phone and realized that there was an unread message. The contact name of the person was simply ‘Yan’.

“It’s already a new year. When are you planning to come over and teach them? The kids can’t wait for you to be here.”

Gu Mang took her time to reply. “After this year’s university entrance exams have ended.”

The other party replied, “What has university entrance exams got to do with you?”

Gu Mang supported her cheek with one hand as her exquisite brows drooped. “I need to take the university entrance exams.”

The other party was left speechless. Gu Mang kept her phone and took out candy from underneath her desk. She removed the wrapper and popped it into her mouth.

After the morning reading.

Lu Yang came back from the toilet and saw that Gu Mang’s seat was empty. Since she had not been sleeping, she had to have gone somewhere. All the subject representatives were giving out last week’s papers in between cla.s.ses.

Fatty turned around to see Lu Yang’s grades. Just like him, Brother Yang’s grades improved too.

Fatty took out his phone and sent his parents a picture of his grades in order to ask for more allowance. He casually asked, “How did Sister Mang do?”

Lu Yang carefully flipped Gu Mang’s paper and when he saw the number, the corners of his lips twitched. It was surprising because her papers were filled with answers which make her seem like a studious and hardworking student.

However, her grades made others shed tears.

Fatty’s expression was complex. “Are they all zeros?”

Lu Yang gave it a thought and commented expressionlessly, “Sister Mang’s grades are exceptionally stable.”

Fatty was speechless.
