"No time, no interest, not participating," Gu Xiyue expressed her lack of interest in the physics competition and her lack of time to participate in any competitions.
"Come on, you have to sign up. You did it for two years at Yun Town No.1 Middle School, so why stop now that you’ve transferred to Sea City No.1 Middle School? You won them first place for two years, why can’t you win first place for our school too? How can you favor one over the other?" Mo Zeming bombarded her with several questions, his tone even taking on a note of accusation as he spoke.
In the past, of course, it was because the principal of Yun Town No.1 Middle School tempted her with incentives.
But would she say that out loud? Of course not.
"I said, not participating," Gu Xiyue replied indifferently.
"Fine, then I’ll sign you up myself. That settles it. I heard you’re not in school; just remember to come back for the test. The school competition is on November 28th," Mo Zeming decided unilaterally for Gu Xiyue.
"Got some other business to attend to, won’t keep you from picking out gravesites. Bye," Mo Zeming said swiftly and then quickly hung up the phone.
You just unnecessarily called me.
Gu Xiyue silently looked at the disconnected call, her expression slightly complicated.
Gu Zhiqi had excellent hearing and had overheard their conversation, feeling a deep sympathy for Gu Xiyue.
Gu Zhiqi’s phone that was set aside suddenly rang with a message alert tone. She picked it up and glanced at it; it was a message from Lu Xingzhe.
[Lu Xingzhe: Brother Qi, the class teacher signed you up for a physics competition]
[Lu Xingzhe: There are too few good at physics in our class. He gathered five people, and you are one of them.]
One second she was feeling sorry for Gu Xiyue, the next second, Gu Zhiqi began feeling sorry for herself, being drafted as a strong hand.
"Young Friend Gu, we haven’t seen each other for half a year, have we?" Mo Canglan poured a cup of tea for Gu Huaijin, pushed it towards him, and looked at him with a grin.
Seeing his demeanor, Gu Huaijin guessed that Mo Canglan had something to discuss with him, but he couldn’t guess what it was, "It has been half a year indeed."
Half a year ago, he had asked Mo Canglan to come out of retirement to treat Luo Fenghe’s illness.
However, even Mo Canglan, as a divine doctor, couldn’t cure Luo Fenghe’s illness.
Luckily, the young girl came back; otherwise, Luo Fenghe might no longer be in this world.
"I hear that your fiancée’s illness is cured?" Mo Canglan looked straight at Gu Huaijin, his eyes gleaming with intensity.
Gu Huaijin nodded, "Indeed, it is cured."
"I heard from Doctor Luo that Miss Luo’s illness was personally cured by Divine Doctor Nan Zhi?" Mo Canglan asked, his eyes fixed on Gu Huaijin, filled with hopeful expectation.
Mo Canglan had also heard about Luo Fenghe not being dead and had heard from Doctor Luo about Divine Doctor Nan Zhi’s return from seclusion.
It was somewhat unbelievable, so he still intended to ask Gu Huaijin directly.
Gu Huaijin, upon hearing this, roughly guessed what Mo Canglan wanted to inquire about and nodded, "Indeed, it was Nan Zhi who cured her."
"Has Divine Doctor Nan Zhi come out of seclusion?"
After listening, Gu Huaijin paused for a few seconds before finally nodding quietly.
Mo Canglan, like a curious child, fired off questions one after another, "Then where might ’Ta’ be now?"
Gu Huaijin shook his head, "Her whereabouts are always uncertain; I don’t know either."
The fact that Gu Zhiqi was Nan Zhi was known only to him, Gu Ying, and Gu Min in the Gu Family.
Fearing it might bring unnecessary trouble to the young girl and also to the family, Gu Huaijin hadn’t told their parents, brothers, or sisters.
