When lunch break came around, Gu Xiqiao took out her phone from the drawer. Xiao Yun looked over to see what she was playing on her phone, but she only saw a bunch of red and green numbers like the stocks that her brother looked at all the time. “What are you doing?”

 Gu Xiqiao looked up at her. “Enough about that, recite Teacher’s Theory by Han Yu from memory for me please.”

 Xiao Yun had wanted to say that she couldn’t do that, but the moment she opened her mouth the words came out fluidly as if she had committed them to memory time and time again.

 On Teaching was the first verse that Gu Xiqiao had written down in the notebook that she gave her, and she had only seen it a few times before the teacher had entered the class. How could she have memorized it in such a short time? How could she recite it so well, it was simply supernatural!

 “Confused…Confused…” Xiao Yun finally got stuck on a sentence, but she sighed in relief at things returning to normal.

 “Confused by a scripture, confused by a question; The former is consulted with a teacher, while the latter isn’t. Why pay attention to trivial things and leave out what’s important? I do not think that is wise.” Gu Xiqiao looked away from her phone, her tone somewhat disapproving. “Why haven’t you memorized it? Go home and copy this ten times.”

 After saying so, she took out an exercise book from her bag and handed it to Xiao Yun.

 WTF? Xiao Yun opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

 Gu Xiqiao squinted. “Aren’t you supposed to thank me?”

 Xiao Yun didn’t know what to say, this girl becoming more mysterious and strange in her eyes.

 At the canteen, Xiao Yun who had never gone down to the ground floor canteen not only went there but even helped Gu Xiqiao get her meal and soup and even saving a seat for her like a lackey. The sight of the duo accompanied by Wu Hongwen who had made his way over as soon as he saw them attracted the attention of everyone in the canteen.

 The three of them sat at a table that was closer inside the canteen, and right by their table was the bunch of students from the Rocket Class led by Gu Xijin.

 They were all chattering about how Gu Xijin had been invited to join an art exhibition, and how she was chosen by a renowned art academy in the city at her young age. This matter had become one of the main topics of the students lately, and even the principal had praised her through the school broadcast.

 She had even been interviewed by reporters and for a time, the name Gu Xijin became the talk of the town.

 She was well known as a young woman that had great achievements at such a young age.

 The students in First City High could only respect and admire her, her achievements too high to even be jealous of her.

 Gu Xijin had been the center of attention, but as soon as the trio sat next to their table, their attention had been attracted over to them, and one of Wu Hongwen’s friends even went over to sit at their table.

 Seeing this, Gu Xijin’s expression became colder and colder, her grip on her chopsticks tightening until her knuckles became white.

 Since when was Gu Xiqiao so influential?

 Zhong Yongsi saw Gu Xijin’s expression and followed her gaze to see Gu Xiqiao that was sitting at the next table. Immediately, his expression scrunched up as if he had seen something foul. “Since when did Wu Hongwen get involved with her?”
