Episode 14 Extra

  Extra Chapter 14

  The day after finishing the last subject of the college entrance examination, Gu Xiang and Chai Zi Yu walked out of school side by side.

  They were driven out because after finishing the exam, they started in the corridor... Right! Answer! Case!

  My classmates around me absolutely can't stand it!

  As she stepped out of the school gate, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned back to take a glance at the still bustling campus.

  From now on, the school has nothing to do with her anymore.

  Her second youth has truly come to an end.

  She was feeling sad, and beside her, Chai Zi Yu didn't know any better and stretched out his hand to wave it in front of her eyes, "What are you thinking about?"

  Gu Xiang sighed and said: "Once you leave school gates, you're an adult already, alas... my youth..."

  "When you got your ID card, you were already an adult. As for your youth, it has nothing to do with the high school campus."

  Gu Xiang: ……

  Before the college entrance examination results came out, Gu Xiang had already returned home from the city.

  Gu's mother had originally planned to stay in a hotel in the city for the two days before the exam, and then accompany Gu Xiang to take the test.

  But considering her mother's mental toughness was not strong enough, it would only bring out her own anxiety, so Gu Xiang ruthlessly refused.

  Moreover, she is not without care in the city. Her father specially cleared his schedule for those few days and the whole family helped her prepare for the exam.

  Gu's mother has been keeping in touch with her these days, and as soon as the exam was over, she called to ask about the situation.

  As soon as Gu Xiang returned, her first reaction was: "How did you get even thinner than the last time I saw you? What about your dad, didn't he tell you to supplement and gain weight?"

  "Eat and eat, it's delicious, but somehow, no matter how much I eat, I just can't gain weight."

  "Ah, you must catch up on your nutrition, what do you want to eat? I'll go buy some more vegetables."

  On a hot summer day, Gu Xiang really didn't have much of an appetite, but seeing her mom's eager expression, she still mentioned two dishes she usually liked to eat. Her mom went to make them with great enthusiasm.

  At lunch, two people ate and chatted, Gu's mother's concern for her life had obviously surpassed her grades.

  The day before the Gaokao results came out, Chai Zi Yu gave Gu Xiang a call.

  Gu Xiang was lying on the sofa, eating ice cream with her mother and watching a TV series.

  As soon as her phone rang, she picked it up casually.

  Cháizi on the phone said: "Tomorrow when checking scores are you nervous or not?"

  Gu Xiang stuffed a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, and her tongue felt numb. "Tighten up, why aren't you tightening up."

  Chai Zi Yu let out a snort of laughter and said, "Can't you speak properly?"

  Gu Xiang stuck out her tongue and waved it around, "Well, now that's done. Sigh, are you nervous or what?"

  Chai Zi Yu: "Don't be nervous, I've reviewed the answers when I got back."

  Gu Xiang sighed and said: "I've also been through it before, normal performance, but still nervous, just in case something goes wrong."

  The two of them simply chatted for a few sentences before Gu Xiang hung up the phone, and then she saw her mother staring at her with shining eyes.

  This expression she often saw on Jiao Shan's face was a mixture of curiosity and longing, commonly known as "gossip".

  "Which boy called you?" asked Mrs. Gu.

  Gu Xiang could only explain: "He's just an ordinary classmate, discussing with me about checking our grades."

  "Oh, checking grades? Is his grade good?"

  "Alright, first in the science class, originally could have been admitted directly."

  "Is home where we go or where we are?"

  "Now lives in the city, used to live in our county, and even attended the same middle school as me. At that time, he was the science whiz kid in our school, always mentioned by Teacher Jiang."

  Mother Gu smiled with her eyes and said, "Not bad, not bad."

  Gu Xiang: You seem to have misunderstood something.

  After the college entrance examination results came out, Gu Xiang got into the Traditional Chinese Medicine University as she had wished.

  Her good friends around her also performed normally, even if they weren't their first choice, they all fell into their second choice steadily.

  Chai Zi's performance was extraordinary, and he scored a result that ranked top in the entire province.

  Gu Xiang still remembers the day she went back to fill out her college application, and saw a banner floating above the school gate that read "Congratulations to Chai Zi Yu for achieving xx ranking in the province on the Gaokao!", and when she got to campus, no matter where she went, she could see similar banners everywhere, she couldn't stop laughing, it's like he had become a living advertisement, probably for the next few years he'll be used as a recruitment propaganda.

  And the school also awarded Chai Zi a scholarship, I heard that with this achievement, he can get another one when he enters university, so to say, his first year of university tuition is free.

  Gu Xiang's summer vacation schedule is also packed, with a banquet to thank teachers and dinner with relatives and friends of both her father and mother, where she can't avoid giving a speech on 'learning experiences'.

  At the same time, other classmates who were admitted to university would also invite her to dinner. She had a good relationship with others. Now colleagues, former liberal arts and science classmates, even junior high school classmates who set up banquets, did not forget to call her.

  She especially called him on the phone, and she didn't want to be rude by not going.

  It was just some old classmates, and they didn't have much to talk about either. When I went over to sit at their table, it felt a bit awkward.

  Fortunately, Chai Zi Yu's attendance rate is still quite high. Sometimes when she doesn't meet someone who can chat with her at her own table, she sneaks over to the boys' table. Anyway, they are both default 'one pair', so doing this is not inappropriate.

  As the two people who scored the best in their class circle, they still had a lot of hatred value.

  Many of their former classmates who were once far surpassed by them in academic performance are now thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity to 'get revenge'.

  The means of revenge is naturally getting drunk.

  Gu Xiang is a bit better as a girl, but Chai Zi Yu needs to drink almost three bottles of beer and half a catty of white wine every time he comes out for dinner.

  Gu Xiang supported him to the toilet and he vomited several times. Chai Zi Yu was still somewhat conscious, able to control his body, but he just weakly put his arm on her shoulder, looking like he was being held up by her, when in fact he was still supporting himself with his own legs.

  Only then can those male classmates who are in high spirits let go.

  Gu Xiang looked at him with some sympathy and advised, "Why don't you just decline a few times next time they invite you? Or when someone tries to get you drunk, just don't drink. You've been drinking like this for three days straight, doesn't it feel uncomfortable?"

  After vomiting, he rinsed his mouth with water and said, "It's unbearable. But I still have to drink it."

  Gu Xiang couldn't help but mutter: "I really don't understand what you guys are thinking, is face that important?"

  Chai Zi smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

  Fool, if I don't drink it, you will be the one who gets poured on.
