Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Guo Miao and her group spent a week in Hongcheng. During this week, everyone forgot about their studies and work and played wholeheartedly for a week. In the end, no one wanted to go home.
Chen Si kept sighing on the way back.
“I’m really nervous when I think about the second year of high school. I haven’t decided whether to study liberal arts or science,” Chen Si thought as she rested her chin on her hand.
“Of course, I’m choosing liberal arts. What can you learn with that brain of yours?” Tong Yao mocked mercilessly.
Chen Si’s mathematics, physics, and chemistry were not very good, but she was indeed outstanding in humanities. Tong Yao was right.
“Goddess Miao, look at Tong Yao bullying me.” Chen Si nudged Guo Miao.
“Alright, alright. It’s fine to learn anything. As long as you study hard, you’ll definitely be able to pick it up.” Guo Miao patted Chen Si’s head.
After school started, she would have to report to her Grade 12 class. At that time, she wouldn’t be able to be with these people anymore. Thinking of this, Guo Miao felt a little reticent. She had never thought that she would be able to establish such a strong friendship with them.
“Goddess Miao, what are you going to study?” Lu Ning asked in confusion.
“It’s definitely a science course,” Zhong Nian said.
Guo Miao was the top scorer in science and had even won a prize in the math competition. It would be a pity if she didn’t study science with such talent.
“Then, you might be in the same class as Guo Hu,” said Lu Ning.
Everyone’s eyes widened.
Although Guo Hu was not in the same grade as them, he was very famous in the entire school.
“Isn’t Guo Hu taking the college entrance examination this year? Does he need to repeat it?” Zhong Nian asked.
He was the class monitor, so he was more well-informed than others. He knew that Guo Hu’s academic performance was excellent, so he should not need to repeat his studies.
“His score should be good enough for many schools in the capital, but it seems that he can’t attend school there because of family reasons. However, he didn’t apply for a university in Haicheng, so he had to give up and re-study for a year,” said Lu Ning.
“It’s said that he gave up on his university admission notice. The school in Beijing even called to look for him.” Lu Ning shook his head regretfully. “I really don’t know what happened to him.”
Guo Miao sighed softly. The image of Guo Hu, who had entered the examination hall that day, appeared in her mind.
He had walked into the examination hall alone and came out alone after the examination. The Guo family did not come to pick him up. He also rejected Guo Fu’s request to send him home and walked back alone.
Guo Miao couldn’t bear to see this.
Guo Hu had not reached the point whereby he could not be saved. He had fallen to this state because of that heartless family. No matter how one looked at it, it was rather depressing.
“If I see him later, I’ll speak with him,” Guo Miao said.
She still wanted to help Guo Hu. In this life, he had helped her too. She did not like to owe others.
“It’s probably useless. He has already rejected the university admission. The university won’t really fight for it.” Lu Ning sighed.
Everyone felt that it was a pity when they heard this news.
Zhong Nian said something else, and the atmosphere eased up.
Soon, the car arrived at Haicheng amidst the laughter of the boys and girls.
Guo Miao went to the restaurant instead of going home first.
Guo Fu’s restaurant was called Champion’s Restaurant. Mr. Chang Yuan had helped him come up with this name.
Guo Miao wanted to reject it, but Mr. Chang Yuan said that the name contained deep expectations for Guo Miao. He said it with sincerity and even shed a couple of tears. He said that his only wish in life was to help Haicheng High School produce a champion.
Guo Fu was also very touched when he heard that. In the end, he decided on this name.
As soon as she reached the entrance, she saw a group of people queuing up.
Guo Miao found it a little strange. She walked over and found that these people were queuing up to get their numbers.
She pulled one of them aside and asked doubtfully, “Excuse me, what is this line about?”
“Don’t you know this Champion’s Restaurant? It’s the restaurant run by the family of the girl who won first place in the International Mathematics Competition,” the man said mysteriously. “You don’t know how amazing she is. Other than winning an award, she also starred in a movie that won an international award. We’re here to queue up in advance to get some joy.”
Guo Miao pulled up her mask.
Was this some sort of celebrity effect?
