Chapter 193: Chapter 193: First Place in the Essay Competition Chapter 193: Chapter 193: First Place in the Essay Competition Mengmeng saw him about to leave, quickly spoke up again, “Honey, don’t go, I haven’t written the essay yet.”
Mengmeng finally remembered the reason she had come to find him.
“Come here, come to my room with me, I’ll teach you how to write,” Gu Zhihan stopped in his tracks, turned his head to glance at her, and raised his hand to beckon her over.
“Coming!” Mengmeng quickly ran from the sofa to his side, and together they went to his bedroom to write the essay.
Gu Zhihan first tutored the young girl in writing her essay.
Only when she had almost finished writing did he begin to write his own.
Reflecting on the heart-stopping events of the day, Gu Zhihan hardly needed to think before his pen flew across the page, and he finished his eight-hundred-word competition essay in one breath.
The content of his writing was about the moment Luo Mengmeng fell down in White Tiger Garden.
After finishing their writing, Gu Zhihan sat in front of the computer his parents had just bought for him a few days ago and uploaded both his and Luo Mengmeng’s essays to the competition’s official website.
The results of the selection would be announced on Monday.
During dinner, Mengmeng spoke while eating, “Honey, I think the first prize for this essay competition will definitely be yours.”
“Why do you think so?” Seeing her confidence in him, Gu Zhihan couldn’t help but slightly curl his lips in a smile, but it quickly faded, returning to his usual indifference.
Mengmeng held her little head up proudly and patted her chest, “Because whatever you write is always the best.”
She hadn’t yet checked what he had actually written…
Gu Zhihan now found himself really caught between laughter and tears, “You really are my loyal fan.”
“That’s right!” Mengmeng embraced the title.
On Monday, the homeroom teacher entered the classroom with a beaming smile, carrying a bulging tote bag in her hand.
Upon entering, she cheerfully announced, “Today I have two pieces of good news to share with everyone!”
The students below immediately began to buzz with speculation.
“Could it be that the teacher has had a baby?”
“I think the teacher might have a boyfriend!”
“Maybe she’s both got a boyfriend and had a baby!”
“So that means, inside our homeroom teacher’s bag are wedding candies and red eggs, right?”
The homeroom teacher had a face full of black lines, “All of you, behave!”
After scolding them, she resumed her smile and continued, “The first thing I want to announce is about last week’s city-wide middle school students’ essay competition…”
At the mention of the competition, Mengmeng immediately perked up her ears.
Tong Mo couldn’t help but tease her, “Chun Meng, why are your ears perked up so high? I bet my pretty face that you surely won’t win an award.”
Luo Mengmeng blinked, “I’m listening for if any of the winners is Gu Zhihan!”
It was not for herself!
Tong Mo immediately clutched her heart, having been fed a mouthful of dog food.
The homeroom teacher continued, “I am proud to say that one of our students won first place in the essay competition, and he is…”
As she spoke, the homeroom teacher deliberately paused, her glance sweeping across the students below.
“Homeroom, say it already!”
Mengmeng and the rest of the students were on tenterhooks, their anticipation raised.
The homeroom teacher then leisurely revealed, “He is, Gu Zhihan!”
“It’s the class president again…”
The result didn’t surprise the students in the class.
The most excited was Luo Mengmeng, who was now shaking Gu Zhihan’s arm, bringing her face close to his and saying, “Gu Zhihan, I told you your essay would definitely win first place, didn’t I?”
She just knew that the person she liked was the most outstanding person.
Gu Zhihan smiled faintly, “Fortunate for me you said so.”
“Don’t mention it…” Mengmeng bashfully replied.
