Zhang Chao was taken aback by Gu Qingzhou's actions. He swallowed hard and said, "What did you say...?"

He had heard of Gu Qingzhou's reputation, and that he was someone who ranked last in his class, but he could have easily not handed in his homework!

Because he had never paid any money, no one dared to say anything.

Gu Qingzhou smiled and patted Zhang Chao on the shoulder, "Study hard. If you can let me copy your homework every day, then I'll acknowledge you as my little brother."

Gu Qingzhou turned around, a cunning glint flashing in her eyes.

You idiot, the reason you don't do your homework is because you're really lazy.

However, he had already mentally worked out those problems and knew how to solve them.

There's a reason why I pretended to be a bad student...

Gu Qingzhou went downstairs and saw Chu Qingxuan leaning against the railing not far away. The setting sun shone on her, as if coating her with a layer of light, and Gu Qingzhou was momentarily dazzled.

He walked over and asked, "Didn't you already leave?"

Chu Qingxuan turned to look at Gu Qingzhou and asked, "What did the director say?"

"Write a self-criticism, and... are you worried about me?"

Gu Qingzhou lowered his body, a teasing smile on his handsome face, and grinned.

Chu Qingxuan frowned slightly and took a step back. "You're overthinking it. I just came to thank you for helping me today. Don't overthink it."

Gu Qingzhou's eyes shone as she smiled, "I don't care, I just think you're worried about me, you stubborn woman with a soft heart."

Chu Qingxuan's eyebrows twitched. It seemed that coming to wait for Gu Qingzhou today was a mistake. She should have ignored him!

Chu Qingxuan turned and left, and Gu Qingzhou ran after her.

"Chu Qingxuan, our home is quite close to yours, why don't I go back with you?"

"I'm serious, you just saw it yourself, I'm really good at fighting, I can protect you."

Chu Qingxuan: "..."

Could you please speak less?

Chu Qingxuan had a strange feeling that Gu Qingzhou would only become more and more outrageous after today, and would not restrain herself.

What was bound to happen, couldn't be avoided.

The plan to stay away from the villain has failed...

Chu Qingxuan returned home, and as soon as she opened the door, a gentle voice rang out, "Qingxuan, are you back?"

"Yes, I'm back."

This person is the original owner's mother, Mu Xiao. Mu Xiao raised the original owner from a young age and let her do whatever she wanted, even when she didn't study properly.

She's a good mother, but an incompetent one.

It satisfied the original owner's material needs, but the original owner only hoped that Mu Xiao could spend more time with her.

Neither of them said anything, which led to the original owner's poor grades.

But Chu Qingxuan was different. She was an outsider, and she didn't care how others treated her.

Mu Xiao came out of the kitchen and asked, "Why are you so late today? Did the teacher keep you here?"

"Yes, something came up at school."

"That's good. I've prepared the food for you. I have to go to a meeting soon, so you can eat by yourself."

Chu Qingxuan asked instinctively, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Mu Xiao's eyes widened slightly, then she smiled gently, "No need, I can just eat something in the car."

This was the first time her daughter had spoken to her on her own initiative.

"Be careful on the road."

After Mu Xiao left, Chu Qingxuan ate a little something and put the food away, gazing wistfully out the window.

In her memory, her mother was a gentle mother who would tell her stories and cook delicious food for her.

but……

She is no longer here.
