Chapter 511: Disguises Are Dropped Every Day

The day before the Qingming Festival.

The chauffeur of the Lu family sent Gu Mang to the airport. Yu Mufeng and Gu Si were waiting in the lounge.

Gu Mang was dressed in all black and her backpack was slung across one shoulder. She wore a baseball cap and a mask. The moment she appeared at the entrance, Gu Si noticed her.

The tiny young man hopped up from his seat immediately and rushed towards Gu Mang. “Sis!”

One big, one small. Their fas.h.i.+on style was exactly the same.

When Yu Mufeng was playing with Qin Fang and He Yidu two days ago, he had heard them talk about seeing Gu Mang for the first time.

Turns out, they had thought that Gu Mang and Gu Si were mother and son on first meeting. Upon closer look, they indeed looked quite alike.

Gu Mang put one hand in her pocket and pressed Gu Si’s head. “How are your studies?”

Gu Si tilted his head up and gave her an arrogant expression that said “it’s just the university entrance exams, young master doesn’t give a hoot about it”.

He said, “Sis, don’t worry! I will definitely not embarra.s.s you!”

Gu Mang raised her eyebrows.

Yu Mufeng walked over. “Young Grandmaster, I don’t have anything going on anyway, why don’t I tag along?”

Gu Mang answered calmly, “There’s no need for that.”

“Alright.” Yu Mufeng did not really want to follow them. He said casually, “I’ll come and pick you up at noon tomorrow.”

Gu Mang nodded. “We’re off.”

Yu Mufeng waved them goodbye with his other hand in his pocket.

Gu Mang led Gu Si through the VIP terminal and got onto the plane heading towards Ming City.

…

Ming City High School.

The countdown timer at the school gates showed that there were only 64 days until the university entrance exams. Tomorrow would be the last kindness the holidays had for them. There was a holiday due to the Qingming Festival.

Year Three Cla.s.s Twenty.

Lu Yang stuffed the examination papers that he had gotten back into his schoolbag and stood in the last row without raising his head. He yelled, “Jinyang, what time will Sister Mang arrive?”

Meng Jinyang packed her bag more quickly than Lu Yang. She put a lot of things in it and was about to answer when her phone vibrated. She opened it and saw Gu Mang’s message.

“I’m here.”

She smiled happily and turned her head to say, “She is already at the gates.”

The moment she said so, everyone in cla.s.s turned to Meng Jinyang.

Fatty screamed in excitement, “Ahhhhhhhh! Hurry, let’s go and meet Sister Mang!”

They carried their school bags and ran out.

Shen Huan panted as she ran. “Is Sister Mang only staying for tonight?”

Meng Jinyang nodded and grabbed the straps of her schoolbag. “It’s the Qingming Festival tomorrow. She has to sweep her parents’ tomb.”

Shen Huan always felt that the road for geniuses was always very tough and comedic. Such a theory was clearly represented in Gu Mang’s life.

It was very legendary.

They rushed to the school gates and looked around. They saw Gu Mang at the bus stop.

She was sitting on a bench lazily with her legs crossed. There was a child beside her.

“Sister Mang!” Lu Yang yelled as he rushed over.

Meng Jinyang and the others were not as quick as him. They were left behind.

When Gu Mang heard their voices, she turned and saw them coming over. She put her phone away and got up. Seeing that Gu Si was there as well, Meng Jinyang smiled very happily.

Gu Si greeted them politely. “Brother, Sister.”

Shen Huan, Fatty and Chu Yao did not know Gu Si but they had heard that Gu Mang had a younger brother. So, they a.s.sumed that was him.

“Your brother is so cute!” Shen Huan looked infatuated. She thought that Gu Si was very small, but he still looked really cool.

Gu Si smiled. “Thank you, sis.”

They talked for a while until the bus came.

Gu Mang turned. “Hop on.”

Lu Yang took out the bus card and did a headcount before swiping his card. Then, he turned to Gu Mang and asked, “Sister Mang, where are we going now? Are we going to eat first?”

Gu Mang answered, “Buy some stuff from the supermarket. We shall have hotpot at my place.”

Qin Yaozhi nodded profusely. “Sure, sure. Get more snacks and a few decks of cards. We can play after we eat.”

Shen Huan said, “Right, right. I’m almost turning into a fool from all the studying lately. I think I need to let loose and destress for a bit.”

Lu Yang and his brothers were like this too. Ever since they had turned over a new leaf, they had been studying hard everyday.

There was only one word left in their life. Study.

When they saw an improvement in their results, they were joyful but they were also tortured in pain by the papers. Their pain was intertwined with happiness like this.

They took a trip down to the supermarket and bought all that they needed.

Then, they followed Gu Mang to the gate of the Seal Palace carrying several large bags of groceries. They looked up at the magnificent gate of the area and fell into a bewildered silence.
