"When you are young, you should wear bright clothes and ride a vigorous horse. You should live up to your youthful vigor and know how to act."

The girl turned around, her eyes curious: "Teacher Gu, what was your youth like?"

Gu Huai was stunned. He couldn't help but recall that his memory seemed to be filled with endless test papers, endless books to read, and various exams... It was smooth sailing, but also extremely boring.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should follow the path his father took, teaching, educating people, and retiring.

But it's all said 'if'.

The young man's hands on his knees gradually clenched, his brows serene, his thoughts untraceable. "Of course, I don't object to you pursuing your own freedom, but blind indulgence will only harm you. Especially when you don't have a mature worldview, don't know what to do and what not to do, and are capable of bearing the consequences."

“Freedom does not mean doing whatever you want.”

Having said this, he felt embarrassed and couldn't say the following words.

As a teacher, one should set an example, but he... Even if no one knew, Gu Huai would still feel extremely ashamed.

The young man looked dejected, his shoulders drooping, and for a moment he seemed to be crushed by something heavy.

Xihe: “…”

Why is he always so emotional? Why does he make so many connections to a small issue?

Xihe quietly tugged at his sleeve, blinking, "My goal is to study hard and get into Didu University. Besides, you always give me so many papers that I can't finish them all. How can I have time to play?"

She looked at the handbag. Needless to say, there must be a copy of her test paper among those.

Gu Huai also thought of the test paper.

He put his thoughts aside and took out the materials he had prepared for her from his bag: "After you finish, give them to your teachers for review. Ask them several times if you don't understand."

"If it doesn't work, I'll tell you when I get back."

He casually opened Xihe's schoolbag and put the information in it. The next second, his hand froze in mid-air, and Xihe also froze.

The red and pink letters with little hearts on them filled half of the schoolbag.

"Haha, well, I'll take it back and light it."

Xihe explained awkwardly.

However, this explanation is worse than no explanation. Who would go out of his way to carry half a box of love letters home to fuel the fire?

Gu Huai nodded, and calmly piled the letters aside, put the papers in, zipped up his car, and stood up: "We've arrived, let's get off."

Xihe quickly got off the car.

The young man looked around as he walked, his face calm. Well, there shouldn't be any big problem.

Xihe felt relieved.

The next time she had a holiday, she happened to meet Teacher Gu who was in the city on business. The two of them went home together, and Xihe felt more relieved.

In the first semester of the first year of high school, Xihe firmly occupied the top spot.

In the second semester, with the final exams approaching, the top students in the class are gearing up to pull Li Anan, the school bully, off the top of the list. Suddenly, an explosive piece of news swept the entire grade.

Li Anan will take the college entrance examination this year!

Grade 1 student: ?? What??

High school sophomore: Hmm? You're awesome, junior.

Senior high school student: Oh, don’t disturb me while I’m sharpening my sword before the battle.

Amidst different gazes, Xihe obtained the teacher's permission, took his admission ticket, and entered the examination room with the senior high school students on June 7th.

Three minutes on stage, ten years of hard work off stage.

Since it concerns their future life, everyone answered the questions very seriously and rigorously, not daring to slack off at all.

Xihe straightened his back and answered the questions seriously.

Although her spirit was strong, she was under the pressure of Gu Huai, so she put in no less effort than others. On the contrary, because her progress was too fast, she had to do more and read more exams and books.

Ta-ta-ta,

The clock on the wall ticked away.

The sound of a pen tip touching the test paper came from the classroom, and a page was turned.
