"Ancestor sis, what did you score on this ancient poetry unit test? Wow, another perfect score, no suspense at all!"
"Ancestor sis, I noticed your penmanship is really cool too. It’s not standard script, not clerical script, nor cursive... what kind of script is it that I can’t recognize?"
Wu Minghao was eyeing Zuzi’s paper with its wild handwriting and prominent perfect score, green with envy.
He looked up, only to find that Zuzi wasn’t listening to him at all.
Zuzi was staring intently at her Blue-blood Emperor watch, like a delinquent girl engrossed in her phone.
She had sent a few lines of poetry to Bao Gucheng and hadn’t received a response for a long time.
What could the boy be doing?
Really wish I could send my Divine Sense to take a peek...
Out of nowhere, Wu Minghao exclaimed again, "Wow, Mr. Gu skipped class again! Ever since the health check yesterday, he’s been ditching classes, right? Where’s he off to play now? Isn’t he afraid of Teacher Xing’s little whip?"
Zuzi glanced lazily at the completely empty seat next to her.
Then lazily replied, "Went to dig graves."
The little brat doesn’t fear evil and insisted on going, can’t be stopped.
Does he think just because he carries Bao Gucheng’s sinister aura, he can roam around gravesites unscathed?
Wu Minghao shivered, "Oh man, who knew Mr. Gu had a hobby of grave digging? Those young masters from the capital really know how to play."
Saying this, he sneakily whispered some gossip to Zuzi, "Ancestor sis, did you know Xi Ruzhu invited you all to a concert today and no one paid her any mind? She shamelessly asked the homeroom teachers of every class she invited to bring students to support her. Good thing our Teacher Xing is bold, directly refused, saying we have to study and have no time!"
Zuzi looked at him with a faint smile, "Do you regret not going?"
Wu Minghao: "Ugh! That drama queen annoys me just looking at her. I already made plans with my buddy to help grandmas cross the street after school, we’re aiming to do three good deeds a day!"
Zuzi nodded slightly, "Good words, good deeds, persistence is key."
Just then, Gu Qiusha’s call came in—
"Zuzi dear, relax tonight and come with mom somewhere, okay?"
"Oh, without you, mom feels like she’s missing a piece; not having the whole family together feels uncomfortable..."
"It’s okay Xiao Sha, you still have other favorite people."
"No, Zuzi dear, you’re an irreplaceable piece! Zuzi, are you annoyed because you think mom’s too dumb? Lately, whatever I do goes wrong, I’m always being criticized in the hospital, maybe it’s because I’ve been a housewife too long and am out of touch with society..."
As Gu Qiusha spoke, she couldn’t help but choke up with tears.
Zuzi pinched her brow and said to Wu Minghao, "Seems like we absolutely have to appreciate the drama queen’s performance."
Xi Ruzhu even factored Gu Qiusha into her plans.
She naturally couldn’t let Xiao Sha be put in a tough spot.
But, the Ancestor reluctantly went along; the drama queen better not regret it.
Jinghua Banquet Music Hall.
A red carpet was laid out at the entrance, arches of flowers were set up in layers, the scene livelier than a Qingcheng celebrity wedding.
Reporters invited by Xi Yuanshan were already in place, waiting to photograph the rumored music prodigy at what could be their breakout debut concert.
Xi Ruzhu, dressed in a Western-style white lace princess gown, gracefully holding Xi Yuanshan’s arm, greeted guests at the entrance.
The first to arrive were the teachers and students from Qingcheng High School.
Especially Fang Yumei, who arrived very early!
