Gu Mang casually shot him a glance. Her clear eyes were cold.
Lu Yang was immediately terrified. “Sorry Sister Mang, please continue reading.”
Fatty turned around. “Sister Mang, Brother Yang, I heard a rumor today. Sheng Ting will be acting in a campus themed movie and the location of shooting is Experimental High School.”
Sheng Ting had started advancing into the film industry and his works had been well received. Gu Mang was not too excited and said nothing.
Baffled, Lu Yang asked, “Why wasn’t our school chosen?”
“They intended to come to our school but the principal rejected it because he wanted us to focus on our studies.” Fatty inched closer to them and said secretively, “I also heard that our end-of-term examinations will differ from the previous times.”
Chu Yao pulled his chair over and asked him, “How is it different?”
“Haven’t our first round of revision ended? This is just something that I heard.” Fatty’s cousin worked in the education department and held a pretty high position so he had quite a lot of rumors to share. “The end-of-term examinations this time around will be held for the whole nation combined. Furthermore, it is done cooperatively with top schools from overseas as they intend to enroll top students.”
Chu Yao was stunned and could not believe it. “This is an important issue. Shouldn’t they have told us this long ago? The end-of-term exams are coming soon.”
Fatty shook his head. “No idea, that’s what my cousin said.”
Lu Yang sneered, “Even if we’re noticed, what has it got to do with us? They want to admit outstanding students in advance. Are you outstanding or not?”
He looked at Chu Yao before turning to Fatty. The corners of their lips twitched. How hurtful.
Fatty’s hearsay was confirmed during the chemistry class in the afternoon.
Xi Yan announced this the first thing and smiled. “Don’t be nervous, just do your best. Not only will overseas universities select students, our nation’s universities may also admit some students in advance. They will take into account holistic performance and not just grades.”
This was an opportunity for many to attend better universities. The atmosphere in school was tense as the exams approached.
When night self-study ended Gu Mang was packing her bag when her phone rang. She picked up her half drank milk tea and headed outside.
After answering, she replied, “I’m out soon.”
She then placed the phone in her pocket and headed to the school’s entrance at a leisurely pace. Gu Mang’s aura was special. Even if she did nothing and simply stood still, people would still notice her.
Amidst the sea of students in uniform, Lu Chengzhou’s eyes landed right on her.
He extinguished his cigarette and threw it into the bin as he headed to her.
“How is your hand today?” He took Gu Mang’s bag and asked, “Your hand is injured and yet you fought with others. Did your wound tear?”
Gu Mangl was not the slightest bit surprised to find out that he knew she had gotten into a fight. Shooting him a glance, she shifted her gaze to her hand. “Not much feeling. I fought with one hand.”
Her injuries were not series and yet she had people around to take care of her for once.
Hearing her explanation, Lu Chengzhou laughed. He opened the car door and got into the car after her.
When they were seated, Lu Yī asked respectfully, “Young Master Lu, where are we heading to?”
Lu Chengzhou looked at Gu Mang. “Are you hungry? Shall we go grab a bite first?”
Gu Mang gave it a thought. Her voice sounded as though she was purposefully trying to be distant. “I feel like having chestnut millet porridge.”
“Head to Seal Palace,” instructed Lu Chengzhou.
“Yes.” Lu Yī started the engine.
Lu Chengzhou carefully examined her hand and felt relieved after making sure that there was no bloodstain on the dressing. “If you want to hit anyone, just order the subordinates to do it for you next time. You only have to watch.”
