"You've become more polite after going back home for a month during the holiday." The teacher smiled, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Gu Luoqi almost embarrassed herself so much that she dug out a princess's dream castle with her toes, "Where...where is it..."

Seeing her like this, Teacher Liu looked puzzled. "What did you do this time?" She wasn't trying to interrogate her; she was just genuinely curious.

Gu Luoqi's face stiffened. Did they think she couldn't come unless she caused trouble?

"What kind of logic is this?" she said, carefully recalling her behavior over the past few days. "I... don't know either."

He no longer criticizes the teacher in class, nor does he collude with others to disrupt classroom discipline, nor does he bury his head in his sleep and lose his sense of direction.

This perfectly embodies the spirit of high school students in the new era, not to mention her focused and diligent completion of her homework.

"They were forced into it," the system's voice betrayed its dissatisfaction.

If it weren't for its diligent supervision these past few days, would this guy be so engrossed in his work, neglecting to eat and sleep?

"Even if I was forced to, I still worked day and night." Gu Luoqi said quite confidently.

This is a fact, even if the King of Heaven himself came, this would still be a fact.

Just as Gu Luoqi was chatting with her teachers under immense pressure, her homeroom teacher finally arrived.

Gu Luoqi looked at her as if she were a savior; she had never so eagerly hoped for her arrival.

“Teacher.” She stood up straight, just like a child in kindergarten who was required to stand at attention.

This surprised her homeroom teacher, because this guy used to be a carefree and irresponsible person, just like a local hoodlum.

The homeroom teacher was a middle-aged woman surnamed Wang. She maintained a good figure, had sharp eyes with single eyelids, and wore gold-rimmed glasses. She was usually taciturn and very strict with her class.

But even such a strict person couldn't do anything to Gu Luoqi, which shows how hopeless she was.

Gu Luoxi looked at her with an ambiguous expression and remained silent for a long time. "Is there something you need from me?" she asked respectfully. She always remembered that their homeroom teacher was not an easy person to get along with.

The teacher's eyes held a hint of scrutiny, but she was quite satisfied with Gu Luoqi at this moment, so her tone softened a bit, "It's nothing, you've been doing very well lately."

Gu Luoxi almost burst into tears of joy upon hearing this. You see, their homeroom teacher usually had a stern face, and it wasn't easy to get praise from her. This one sentence was enough for her to brag about.

System: Look at you, so useless.

"Keep up the good work in the future." The homeroom teacher's face showed a hint of satisfaction.

Over the years, her principle has been to never give up on a student. Looking at Gu Luoqi, who has turned over a new leaf, she suddenly felt that her persistence over the years had some meaning.

"Teacher, I will continue to work hard," Gu Luoqi said confidently, making a bold promise.

This brought smiles of relief to the faces of the teachers present, especially Teacher Liu, whose eyes were filled with excitement.

Seeing her colleague's reaction, the homeroom teacher thought to herself, "That's an exaggeration."

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, she didn't linger with Gu Luoxi any longer. "Okay, go back first, and call Xu Cheng over here."

Xu Cheng: Danger!

Upon hearing this, Gu Luoqi smiled maliciously and said, "Okay, goodbye, teacher!" Then she quickly turned and left.

As for her good classmate, good luck to him. Who told him to gloat just now? Now the tables have turned.

Fueled by the exhilarating feeling of 'getting revenge,' she ran incredibly fast, her feet barely touching the ground.

Suddenly, someone appeared out from around the corner, and Gu Luoqi bumped into him head-on, almost losing her footing.

Sometimes tragedy strikes just like that.

At the last moment, she managed to stop herself, her eyes still showing panic, but thankfully she escaped unharmed.

"I'm sorry." She apologized hastily before she could even look up. Luckily, she was quick; otherwise, if she had knocked the person down, she would have been dead.

"Don't you have eyes?" The voice was unhurried, as if it hadn't been frightened by the sudden accident.

Gu Luoxi recognized the voice and looked up to find it was that annoying Qi Sheng again.

Suppressing the panic that had just risen in her heart, she retorted sharply, "Who told you to suddenly appear?"

The system immediately recognized that the two were about to engage in another verbal battle, which caused it a touch of distress.

It secretly resolved that this was a common trope in idol dramas, and it would not watch any idol dramas without these two actors.

It was completely unaware of how terrible its immature ideas were.

"Don't block my way." Qi Sheng didn't want to waste any more words with her.

Seeing that he was holding something in his hand, Gu Luoqi guessed that he was delivering something to the teacher, so she subconsciously stepped aside.

However, my initial joy has been ruined, and I no longer have the energy to jump around like before.

When she got back, Xu Cheng, who had been slumped over the table without any energy, suddenly perked up as if he had been injected with hormones, his eyes burning with gossip. "So, what did you say?" He glanced at Gu Luoqi's unhappy expression and instinctively felt that the criticism might be too lenient.

He naturally had no idea that Gu Luoxi's mood was entirely influenced by Qi Sheng, and had nothing to do with her teacher.

Gu Luoqi suddenly became interested upon seeing this. "It's nothing, just a compliment on my recent performance." She pretended to be mysterious, but of course she didn't forget the task her homeroom teacher had given her. "By the way, Lao Wang asked me to call you up."

Xu Cheng initially didn't believe Gu Luoqi at all when he heard her words, but when he heard the homeroom teacher call him, his face turned bitter. "Don't try to fool me."

"Why would I lie to you? Believe it or not, I've already delivered the imperial edict." Gu Luoqi looked completely indifferent, not at all like someone trying to fool someone.

Xu Cheng knew from her expression that what she said was most likely true. "Wish me luck." He stood up reluctantly, with a somewhat forced-to-be-forced air about him.

"Good luck to you," Gu Luoqi replied to him verbatim.

Xu Cheng silently despised this guy's grudge-holding attitude in his heart, then went to the office under immense pressure.

After he left, Gu Luoxi lay on the table in a daze, watching her classmates playing around. She seemed somewhat lost in thought.

Their faces still carried the naivety of those who had not yet entered society, and they exuded the unique aura of youth, which made Gu Luoqi feel somewhat envious and melancholy.

Having lived a few more years, there are some differences in mindset.

The system was still figuring out how to comfort this dejected, half-dead guy when it heard, "System, I'm in a bad mood. Let me relax for a bit in this class." His tone was mature and old-fashioned.

Have pity on this elderly woman; at her age, she still has to learn alongside these young people.

The system immediately snapped. Feeling discouraged is fine, but is it going to become passive and uncooperative?

That's absolutely unacceptable, let alone pretending to slack off.
