-[Beauty Qiao, Comrade Jiang is as bad as you are! Not only did he ignore Old Gu, he even got the guards to scare him off with a gun…Speaking of which, I was surprised that you didn’t do anything to him!]

Gu Xiqiao took a towel and walked over to the bathroom. “The finals are coming, no use in giving myself the trouble.”

[You forgot to close the door!] The system spirit shouted.

Gu Xiqiao responded with a single flick of her wrist, closing the door behind her with a resounding thump.

[At least your ancient martial arts is good for closing doors!]

“…Shut up!”

June the sixth was a day before the national finals would start.

At this time, all of the other students in First City High had already left the school, and the only exception was the Parallel Class that was on the fourth floor. In the classroom, a girl in a loose-fitting school uniform was writing on the blackboard with a piece of chalk.

Her words were written in regular script and were so tidy that it seemed like it was printed onto the blackboard.

After she finished writing everything, she threw away the chalk and leaned onto the podium. “These are a few things you should focus on for the exams. Even though there’s only one day left, but believe in yourselves and the Parallel Class, I’m sure we will all be able to ace these exams!”

“I’ll believe in myself, Beauty Qiao! I won’t disappoint you!” A boy shouted.

“I’ll get good grades and make you proud!” Shouted another girl.

“…”

Gu Xiqiao couldn’t help but facepalm before she took three pieces of chalk with one hand and chucked them at the foreheads of the people that had spoken up. “Stop that! You’re doing this for yourself and your family, not me, got it?”

The class was plunged into silence, and Gu Xiqiao patted the chalk dust off of her own hands in satisfaction, thinking that her words had gotten through before…

“F*ck! How did you do that Beauty Qiao?! You definitely played darts before!”

“Oh my god! She’s good at studying and even better at playing…What can I do?!”

“From today onwards, you’re my goddess!”

“…”

Gu Xiqiao’s inner monologue: ‘Can someone deal with these demons?’

A day passed quickly, but none of the classmates were willing to leave the classroom, joking and chattering until dusk and even rioting for Gu Xiqiao to lead them in running laps on the school field. Most of them weren’t as athletic as she was and stopped running after two or three laps, and the only person that could keep up with her was Wu Hongwen.

Gu Xiqiao ran ten laps before slowing down and walking over to the crowd of classmates, the scene painted a brilliant rosy orange hue in the sunset. The crowd that had been chattering suddenly became quiet as she walked over, looking over at the mysterious girl.

They had thought that they had a basic grasp of who Gu Xiqiao was after being in the same class for two months, but there seemed to be infinite veils of mystery that made her more and more amazing the more she revealed! Her reputation and position in the class had long since surpassed the class monitor and Old Ban, only because she had the ability and the attitude that made them follow her without question. Other than her, who would remember to give them extra classes at this crucial time?
