I’m talking about me, Stupid!

On the train back to E City, Pang Qian slept against Gu Mingxi’s shoulder. Gu Mingxi didn’t feel like sleeping at all. He kept his head turned toward the window.

The train traveled through the city and then through the countryside. The high rises in front of his eyes turned into patches of fields. Gu Mingxi watched the regressing scenery, and he felt a bit perplexed.

Li Han had never mentioned the things that Pang Qian had told him about. Gu Mingxi always tested 1st in the grade, so Li Han would rarely ask about how his studies were going. There was still a year before the high school entrance exams, and she had never asked him what high school he planned to go to.

But Gu Mingxi had once overheard his parents talking. He hid in the kitchen and heard Gu Guoxiang tell Li Han, “We don’t need to think about what school Gu Mingxi can test into. We have to consider which school will accept him.”

In the past years, Gu Mingxi had spent a lot of effort studying. The characters he wrote with his foot were very beautiful. He even wrote English really well, his letters ending with a beautiful little tail. Using his foot, he made clean and precise geometric shapes with his triangle ruler and protractor. All his math papers could be used as a model for the correct answers. His memory and comprehension ability were outstanding. Even in elective classes, he performed well and was never insincere about learning for them. And with the help of his classmates, he was even able to do experiments with his feet.

Gu Mingxi’s life was simple and pure, and would probably be considered rather boring. He spent most of his time studying, and in his remaining free time, he drew and painted. The rest of his time was usually spent on something related to Pang Qian.

Watching the TV series that she recommended, listening to her favorite music, reading the comics that she liked. Thank goodness there was a Pang Qian to make Gu Mingxi’s life more rich and colorful.

It was true that he hadn’t thought about what the future would hold. After all, he still hadn’t graduated from junior high yet. Three years of high school, four years of university, or even longer. How could the current Gu Mingxi be thinking of his future profession?

But Li Han had already thought about it. She wanted him to work in finance. Gu Mingxi didn’t know anything about that line of work. He knew that Jin Ai’hua was a treasurer. She always sat at a desk, calculating with an abacus. Gu Mingxi felt a bit stuffy. If he had to use his feet to calculate with an abacus, it would be very, very slow.

He didn’t want to work in finance at all.

When Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian got home, it was already 7:30. After the past three days and two nights, the two kids had gotten tanner, and they looked a bit unkempt. Pang Qian was really hungry. When she got home, she started calling out about eating dinner. When Gu Mingxi got home, and with his father’s help, he took a dump.

The night before, he’d felt a bit of a need to go, but it wasn’t very strong. So he just held it back, for an entire night and another day.

After his amputation, this had become a sort of specialty of his. Unless he had diarrhea, Gu Mingxi could hold it for two or three days without issue.

After Pang Qian finished eating the fried rice Pang Shuisheng made for her, she sat at the table eating grapes. Jin Ai’hua was fanning herself as she sat down next to Pang Qian. She asked her daughter, “Qian Qian, tell me the truth. How many of you went to Shanghai to play?”
