Extra Chapter 1

  Extra Chapter 1

  After the high school entrance exam, Gu Xiang was like a deflated balloon, sleeping at home for several days, and then staying at home watching TV, eating and sleeping.

  Just finished the exam, Gu's mom also felt that she had been working hard for a while, so she let her relax.

  But this relaxed time was too long, until the day when scores could be checked, Gu's mother was so nervous that she couldn't sleep well the night before, while Gu Xiang didn't have any worries at all.

  "Can't you be more careful? You're walking like you have rickets or something!"

  Gu Xiang was lying on the sofa watching TV, "Anyway, I've already taken the exam, what I'm doing now won't affect anything."

  Her attitude is so good that even her mother doesn't bother scolding her anymore.

  On the day of checking grades, Gu Xiang and her mother held their breath and waited by the phone.

  After checking the scores, the corner of Gu's mother's mouth couldn't help but curl up, but Gu Xiang checked again to be sure, and the result was still the same as the first time.

  "Then what's the approximate admission score for our city's middle school?" asked Gu Mama.

  Gu Xiang thought for a moment and roughly gave a score range.

  "Wow, you're so tall!" Gu's mom exclaimed. Xian felt a mix of excitement and regret, "If only I had listened to Teacher Jiang, I would have applied to an even better school."

  Gu Xiang was satisfied with herself, she knew how much ink was left in her belly.

  After checking the scores, Gu Xiang's phone started to get busy. First it was Lin Jia Huan and Li Wei, who were relatively close to her, then other classmates from her class, all calling to ask about her score.

  Later, Teacher Jiang even made a special phone call, and after hearing the score, he praised "good" several times.

  As expected, Gu Xiang's middle school entrance examination results were the first in the whole bridge.

  Later, the ranking of the county was announced, and it was even more outrageous, fourth in the whole county.

  In front of me are two thirds, one of whom is still an acquaintance, Chai Zi Yu.

  Tang Lulu and Li Huikao both did well, Tang Lulu was second in the whole school and top ten in the county.

  Li Wei is ranked 30th in the whole province, and can't even be ranked in the county.

  Lin Jiahuan also performed exceptionally well and reached the expansion enrollment line of Municipal No. 1 Middle School.

  The news spread quickly, relatives and friends knew about it and called to ask. My aunt came early with the review materials for Gu Xiang's third year of high school. Fortunately, Gu Xiang was quick to hide the original notes she had written, otherwise nothing would have been left.

  Gu's dad also called to praise Gu Xiang, and asked if she wanted anything. Gu Xiang really wanted a laptop, after all it's convenient for surfing the internet, but she was afraid her mom wouldn't let her have one.

  Gu's mom has been praised by everyone around her lately, Gu Xiang asked her with his eyes if she could have his dad's things, and she nodded.

  Gu Xiang smiled and said her thoughts with a smile, Gu Dad agreed, and the next evening he specially sent over his laptop.

  He made a special trip here, of course, sending things is secondary, and visiting his daughter is also secondary.

  In the final stage of Gu Xiang's junior high school review, he often came home to deliver some nutritious products for Gu Xiang.

  He also gradually improved his relationship with Gu's mother.

  Originally, Gu's father still wanted to hold a banquet for Gu Xiang, after all, his daughter had achieved such good results, and he should be proud.

  However, Gu is unwilling, their local custom is to hold a thank-you banquet after the college entrance examination, and there are really not many held after the middle school entrance examination.

  Of course, the teachers did their best and couldn't show nothing, so later Gu Xiang and her mother bought some fruit and milk to give to Teacher Jiang. For other teachers, they just bought a fruit basket and sent it to school.

  At the beginning of summer vacation in third year of junior high school, Gu Xiang originally really planned to stay at home for two months.

  Later plans couldn't keep up with changes. To reward her for doing well on the exam, her mother took her out to play and they played through Xi'an, Xiamen, and Wuhan.

  After half a month, both of them got tanned quite a bit.

  After Gu Xiang returned, she was called away by her grandmother with a phone call. After going there, her father also wanted to take her out to have fun.

  Gu Xiang looked at the dark and shiny self in the mirror, saying nothing would make her go out again, so she became Gu Daddy taking the whole family to a suburban resort villa for a few days.

  Gu Xiang thought to herself that with military training still ahead of her before high school started, she really didn't know when she'd be able to get out of this predicament alive.

  Since she is studying in the city, her grandmother must be letting her live at home.

  Before school starts, she has to go to the school for military training for half a month. Gu's mother couldn't bear not seeing her for so long and didn't want her to suffer either, so she said she would pull some familiar strings to get her a fake note to exempt her from military training.

  Although Gu Xiang didn't want to leave home either, she was more inclined towards collective life. Military training is the fastest way for classmates to get familiar with each other, and if she missed it, she would feel a bit out of place when she went later.

  Gu's mother didn't insist anymore, but reminded her to call herself every night.

  High school life is about to begin, on the eve of the new semester, Gu's father took her to the mall to buy some clothes.

  Gu Xiang's figure is now very standard, with a slender waist and long legs, reminiscent of her modeling days.

  However, after trying them out, she felt that they were not very satisfactory. Those bright and shiny colors made her look even darker when worn on the body.

  One white cover hundred ugly, old saying is still reasonable.

  But in the end she still couldn't beat her dad, and she chose two short-sleeved snowflake sweaters with doll collars that didn't match her skin tone.

  However, Gu Xiang was still young after all. At that time, she had only heard that the military training in the city was notorious for being strict, but she didn't think it was true that they actually invited people from the army to train them, and they were literally trained with the requirements of drilling soldiers.

  The first lesson was to stand at attention under the scorching sun, with a five-minute rest after half an hour. Those who fainted were sent to the infirmary. Under the shade of the trees, there was also a reserve military doctor, on the one hand to prevent emergencies, and on the other hand to let those classmates who wanted to pretend to be ill give up their thoughts.

  When she first started school, she still thought she was dark-skinned, but after military training, she compared herself and found that she had become incredibly pale.

  After finishing military training and having a two-day break, when Gu Xiang returned home, his mother almost didn't recognize him.

  Gu Xiang looked at her mother's stifled smile and shook her head, "I know I'm dark-skinned, go ahead and laugh if you want to, don't choke on it."

  Her mother saw her poor appearance and knew she was doing well in school and at her grandmother's house.

  Gu Xiang is doing pretty well, although the military training was tough, but with new classmates and friends around her, all in their youthful years, they got through it by fooling around. She also made two close friends, one a round-faced big-eyed girl named Jiao Shanshan, and another tall and slender girl named Du Qinyue.

  Two people, one in front of her and one behind her, would stand together for a while during military training sessions, and at other times they would play together. They were all cheerful and lively, making military life much more enjoyable.

  After school in the afternoon, she went home and her grandmother had also made her favorite dishes waiting for her. She then had dinner with her grandfather and grandmother together.

  Although Dad Gu is busy, he will try his best to return home early every day. At the latest, before Gu Xiang goes to bed, they can still see each other and chat for a few sentences.

  It can be said that apart from getting a tan, which is an unstoppable natural phenomenon, the beginning of high school life is actually quite beautiful.
