Huo Junxian looked at the name, and she couldn't help but feel amused and helpless.

The teacher asked them in quite standard English if they recognized each other.

Huo Junxian didn't explain much. She politely extended her hand to shake the teacher's hand and introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Huo Junxian."

"Oh." The teacher nodded and said, "All your countrymen have the same surname."

"Pfft."

Huo Junxian couldn't help but want to laugh, "Yes, it's the same."

Foreigners might not understand the humor in this, but if you compare it to Gu Siyu changing her name to Sebastian... they would probably get where the joke is.

Compared to this name, a score of 25 is nothing.

The teacher said, “Xing is very weak in math. I’ve talked to her many times about this and tried various ways to help her improve, but without much success. I hope you, as her parents, can supervise her more closely. Are you her sister?”

Huo Junxian pressed her lips together and said, “Yes, I am her sister... I really didn’t expect Xing to get this score.”

Gu Siyu folded her arms and listened to them going on and on about Xing. Her head was starting to hurt, and she couldn’t laugh at all. Without a word, she turned and left the classroom. She leaned against the railing, waiting for the wind to blow, but when it did, her face stung sharply.

It’s not even my birth year.

Why am I having such bad luck back to back?

Gu Siyu thought, exhaling heavily. Not long after, she turned to look at the office. Huo Junxian was engrossed in discussion with the teacher. Sitting beside the desk, Huo Junxian kept smiling and responding to the teacher.

The teacher poured Huo Junxian a cup of coffee and said, “Why do you find Xing’s name so awkward to say?”

“Because...”

I’ve never called her that.

The teacher asked, “How do you usually educate her at home?”

“I, I just came abroad. She studies abroad alone most of the time. It’s Xiaoyu... I mean, Xiaoxing, little Lucky... Xing, pfft... Sorry, very sorry...” Huo Junxian couldn’t hold back her laughter, finding Gu Siyu’s new name amusing, but mostly feeling happy. She never expected Gu Siyu to change her name to this, and even use her surname. (Note: 😂)

The teacher looked at her, full of confusion, “Are you really her sister?”

Huo Junxian wanted to take out her ID to show the teacher, to prove they had the same surname and were indeed family. She wrote her name on Gu Siyu’s answer sheet with a pen.

“Oh, so that’s the character.” The teacher immediately understood. She flipped over the answer sheet, revealing many Chinese characters besides the red “X”.

They read: “Huo Junxian.”

Huo Junxian, Jun, Junxian, Xian

There was also a lot of pinyin, mostly HJX.

The teacher said, “It doesn’t matter if she can’t answer the questions. The most important thing is her attitude. Every time I see her writing like this, I don’t know how to grade it.”

“Every time?” Huo Junxian was surprised.

The teacher shook her head, exasperated. She pulled out Gu Siyu’s recent test papers, pointed at the content, and said, “She thinks I don’t understand Chinese. Every time she writes a lot of characters on the paper. But I specifically looked them up online. These characters mean ‘I miss you’ in English.”
