Chapter 203 The Secret



However, compared to previous years, this winter vacation is indeed very important; at least we can't take it for granted that we can go out and play.

Cheng Cheng frowned, recalling the greetings from a group of relatives during New Year's visits in previous years. "I'm starting to get a headache."

With the college entrance exam just six months away, she will naturally become the center of attention.

Gu Luoqi naturally knew what was bothering her. "I didn't expect that a top student like you would be afraid of sudden concern from relatives."

Cheng Cheng raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you afraid?"

Gu Luoqi's face fell instantly upon hearing this. That's right, we're in the same boat, so let's not laugh at each other.

"Are you going back this week?" Li Mingya asked. She should go home; it had started snowing, and she hadn't brought many warm clothes.

At such a critical moment, physical health is extremely important to them, and she doesn't intend to tough it out.

"We should go back," Gu Luoqi said.

She hasn't been home for almost a month.

Seeing their plans, Cheng Cheng also made a decision, "Since you're both going back, it's no fun for me to stay in the dorm alone."

Gu Luoxi also told Qi Sheng, and looking at the chat box that had been stuck two weeks ago, she felt a little dazed.

It seems like it's been almost a month since she last saw Qi Sheng.

Never mind, we'll see each other when we go home together.

She then remembered something else: "Didn't I hear there was going to be a parent-teacher conference a while ago? Why hasn't anything happened yet?"

Upon hearing this, the two turned to look at her simultaneously and asked in unison, "Do you really want to attend a parent-teacher conference?"

In any case, their attitudes made it clear that they didn't like it.

Gu Luoqi felt a little embarrassed. "Actually... not really."

To be honest, there is a little bit.

If her father hadn't come, how would he have known how hard she'd been studying lately, like she was hanging her head from the rafters or pricking her thigh with an awl?

She's been causing trouble for her dad since she was little, and now I'm actually looking forward to seeing the proud look on his face.

Although, according to my dad's thought process, this situation is probably... unlikely to occur.

Cheng Cheng saw through her little scheme, of course. "It might not open, so don't get your hopes up."

Anyway, that's what she heard from the rumors at the time, but for some reason, it suddenly stopped operating later. Maybe the school leaders changed their minds.

"Well, it's almost vacation time now, so it won't be open until next semester," Li Mingya said.

Perhaps because Gu Luoqi hadn't been home for a long time, her father picked her up this week.

"How about it? Aren't you touched to see me?" Mr. Gu said with a smile.

Although his daughter didn't ask him to pick her up this week, he still decided to give her a surprise and let her feel the support her family has for her hard work in her studies.

So he only called her to tell her the news after he arrived at the school gate.

Unexpectedly, after holding it in for a long time, Gu Luoxi blurted out, "Dad, have you gained weight?"

Mr. Gu: "..." Is this even human language?

"How could that be? Your dad has been working hard to manage my physique lately," he retorted angrily.

Gu Luoxi had heard a little about his body management plan, but she didn't know why her father had started to pay attention to this aspect in middle age. However, judging from his appearance, it was clear that it wasn't very successful.

"Okay, good luck then." She casually replied before opening the door and getting into the car.

Mr. Gu: "..."

He admitted that he was angered by his daughter.

He turned his gaze to another person present, Qi Sheng.

But the smile on the other person's face said it all; he admitted he had been dealt another blow.

After hesitating for a long time, he decided not to ask Qi Sheng, lest he humiliate himself.

Gu Luoqi only glanced at Qi Sheng secretly while sitting in the car.

It's been a month since we last met, and we feel a little unfamiliar with each other.

Even though we're in the same school, we're so busy that we rarely see each other.

Qi Sheng felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and glanced sideways.

Unexpectedly, the other person showed no embarrassment at being caught, saying, "Have you been very busy lately? I haven't seen you at school."

The main focus is on turning the tables.

"You should be the one who's busy," Qi Sheng said softly, her eyes slightly lowered.

For some reason, Gu Luoqi even felt that his voice sounded somewhat aggrieved.

She couldn't figure out why this was happening.

"Well, I've been quite busy lately. You have no idea, I have to do a lot of practice problems every day..." Gu Luoqi started rambling on.

The awkwardness of not seeing each other for a while disappeared instantly.

Qi Sheng listened quietly to her complaints, a smile playing on his lips.

Gu Luoqi talked for a while before remembering that this guy seemed to get carsick and would fall asleep as soon as he got in the car.

"Never mind, I won't bother you anymore, you can go to sleep."

"I won't disturb you." Qi Sheng said earnestly.

Meeting his earnest gaze, Gu Luoqi's voice softened considerably, her eyes flickering, "Oh."

However, she didn't bother him for the rest of the journey and instead listened to music quietly.

The two did not disturb each other. After arriving home, Qi Sheng helped her take down her luggage and then went back.

Gu Luoqi always felt that Qi Sheng was acting strangely.

Her main purpose in going home this time was to bring back some of the things she needed to take with her during the winter break, so that she wouldn't be unable to carry them next time.

Because of Qi Sheng's strange behavior, Gu Luoqi always felt uneasy.

This guy seems to be consciously avoiding me.

Having finally found a chance to be alone, she finally asked the question.

"Have you been unhappy with me lately?"

Qi Sheng tightened his grip on the cup. "...No."

"Then why have you been avoiding me?" Gu Luoqi asked, somewhat dissatisfied.

Sure enough, Qi Sheng wouldn't tell her so easily.

"Your imagination." Qi Sheng lowered his eyes slightly.

After saying that, he took his water glass and left.

Gu Luoqi: "..."

It would be really strange if this were just her imagination.

Anyway, this guy is up to something, and seeing his reaction always makes her feel uneasy.

However, this matter did not bother her for long; she still had to go back to prepare for her final exams.

For her, this was the thing that needed her to focus on most right now, so she rushed back to school on Sunday.

For the next period of time, Gu Luoqi and the other two were completely focused on their work.

Gu Luoqi is not usually someone who gets acne, but lately she has started getting acne like crazy.

Cheng Cheng looked at the guy holding a mirror and sighing, "It seems like your puberty came a little late."

After applying the medicine to her pimples, Gu Luoxi said fiercely, "You're not much better off!"

Don't think she doesn't know; this guy has also been losing hair like crazy lately.

They're about evenly matched.

Compared to the two women, Li Mingya was in a slightly better position; she neither lost hair nor developed acne.

The benefits of regular exercise may suddenly become apparent.

"System, is the recipe you provided for me okay?" Gu Luoqi asked.

Anyway, she felt she needed to use less oil and salt, but the recipes the system gave her were quite high in calories.
