“Oh right, we are having literature next and we have physics, English, and math today. Do you have your textbooks with you?” asked Dong Mingming caringly.

“I do.” The school had sent over the schedule to Gu Shao yesterday and he had given it to her.

Gu Xi turned to dig through her backpack as she said that.

Dong Mingming, next to her, seemed to have noticed something very mystical all of a sudden. She cocked her head and stuck it in front of Gu Xi in surprise, “Gu Xi, I noticed that your irises have a very interesting color.”

Dong Mingming looked at Gu Xi from a few different angles to make sure that she was, indeed, seeing what she was seeing.

Gu Xi’s irises were of a light tan color. It was unnoticeably if one wasn’t looking at them closely. But when one looked at them closely, one would notice that they were just a little different from the norm.

“Are you wearing contact lens?” asked Dong Mingming.

“No. This is their true color. I got that from my dad,” explained Gu Xi. The corners of her lips lifted a little.

Having said that, Gu Nian pulled out a few textbooks from her backpack.

The textbooks were all knew.

She had left her old textbooks from Liming back at home. These were the new ones that Gu Shao had prepared for her.

They were the same textbooks but she was no longer “Lin Xi”.

Gu Xi flipped open to the first page of each textbook and scribbled the character “Gu Xi” on each of them seriously.

“Your handwriting is pretty,” said Dong Mingming next to her.

She was about to say something else but the literature teacher had already walked inside of the classroom and looked over in their direction. Intimidated, Dong Mingming immediately stopped talking.

The tallest grass gets cut first. She didn’t want to be called upon by the literature teacher to recite what they had covered the day before.

Dong Mingming scooted back to her spot quietly and pretended that “nothing had happened and she had been reading quietly” the entire time. That being said, she still reached her hand over stealthily when the literature teacher and moved her “death stare” away to show Gu Xi where they would be starting today in the textbook.

***

When the literature teacher started her lecture, Gu Xi, too, had refused her attention onto the textbook.

The progress at this school was comparable to that of her previous one as was the lecture itself. Gu Xi only needed very little time to adjust before she followed the pace of the new teacher.

***

After the first class was over, Dong Mingming took the opportunity between classes to introduce Gu Xi to the others in the class one by one.

Gu Xi, too, tried her best to remember the names and looks of everybody in class.

Right then and there, ruckuses in the classroom caught Gu Xi’s attention.

“What is going on?” She asked Dong Mingming.

Dong Mingming, too, looked over in the direction where the noises came from. She then turned back around and explained to Gu Xi, “They are having wagers on during which period will God Xiu show up.”

Gu Xi lifted her brows in surprised upon hearing that: “God Xiu” referred to a student in this class? “During which period will he show up”… …

The classes here were that casual?

Gu Xi grumbled to herself when she heard Dong Mingming added, “Judging from their excitement, I gather that God Xiu will be arriving soon.”

Dong Mingming hasn’t even finished talking when a tall figure casually strolled into the classroom. The young man still looking groggy.

“See? Am I right or am I right?” said Dong Mingming.

And those over on the other became even more excited than before.

***

Looking at the person, Gu Xi paused for a little and said, “Sheng Xiuyan?”

“You know each other?” asked Dong Mingming.

“No, we don’t,” said Gu Xi as she shook her head.

She had only saw him once the day she took her entrance examination. She thought “Sheng Xiuyan” was what Teacher Chen had called him.

After Gu Xi said that she didn’t know Sheng Xiuyan, Dong Mingming couldn't help but started gossiping about him with her.

“Let me tell you. He may seem uncaring but he was super mighty. His existence was like straight out of a textbook – great family background, good looking, and his grades… …”

“Super good?” Gu Xi completed her sentence for her.

“Yes, super good. Why else would he be referred to as ‘God Xiu’? Let me tell you, he is entirely like a God of Academia.”

“Do you know what my wish is?” asked Dong Mingming.

“To surpass Sheng Xiuyan?” asked Gu Xi.

Dong Mingming shook her head right away, “That’s impossible.”

“I only hoped that the one day that my scores came in second, Sheng Xiuyan would have somehow missed that examination.”

Seeing the twitch of Gu Xi’s lips and the you-are-exaggerating-it-too-much look on her, Dong Mingming knew that Gu Xi didn’t believe her and added, “I am not exaggerating. There is a saying at our school – the only way for Sheng Xiuyan to not score the highest is if he had missed the examination.”

Having said that, Dong Mingming patted Gu Xi on her hand. “I know you don’t really get it just from listening to me. You will see what a landslide is during the next monthly examination.”

Gu Xi, “… …”

Gu Xi glanced over at Sheng Xiuyan once again after Dong Mingming was done talking. Why was it that she felt he was just okay?
