Upon learning that they were leaving, my little cousin burst into tears. Although he is usually very well-behaved, he is still a child, and he hates this kind of separation, so he expressed it in the most direct way.
His aunt held the little guy and tried to comfort him for a long time, but he still stared at them stubbornly with red eyes.
Mr. Gu was quite experienced in coaxing children, and he even gave him a large red envelope.
Gu Luoqi felt that her father had underestimated her younger cousin; how could he possibly be bribed by his red envelope?
But the next moment, she saw her little cousin beaming with joy as he held the red envelope.
Gu Luoqi: "..." This little money-grubber.
But in the afternoon, just as they were about to leave, my little cousin started crying again.
"Can't Sister Luo and Brother Qi play a few more days? I don't need the red envelope." He looked pitifully at Father Gu.
Although Sister Luo's father gave him a large red envelope, he still hoped they could stay a little longer.
This almost moved Gu Luoqi to tears, and she wished she could go up and give the little guy a big kiss.
But she was quickly proven wrong by her cousin's next words.
"Sister Luo can go back, but could Brother Qi stay?" The little guy tried to negotiate.
Gu Luoqi: "..." This is outrageous! This is simply outrageous!
This little cousin has only known Qi Sheng for half a month, and he has already been turned against him. This is absolutely despicable!
She decided to be a bad guy for once, "No, Brother Qi is coming back with me!"
The little guy became even more upset upon seeing this.
Seeing this, Qi Sheng stepped forward and approached the little guy, seemingly saying something to him.
The little guy nodded seriously, then hesitated before saying, "Then Brother Qi must keep his word."
Qi Sheng nodded seriously, showing no intention of fooling the child.
"Okay, you can go now, Sister Luo. I'll miss you. Welcome to come again next time!"
At this moment, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and waved it at them.
I don't know where he got his handkerchief, but it's clear he was prepared.
Gu Luoqi: Hmph, pretentious!
She crept closer to the little one, somewhat curious, "What did Brother Qi say to you?"
She was just too curious, mainly because this guy's attitude changed so quickly.
Unexpectedly, the little guy stubbornly shook his head, crossed his arms like a little adult, and said, "I can't tell you, this is a secret between me and Brother Qi."
When they had loaded all their things into the car.
Grandma's eyes also welled up with tears, but she didn't show it.
Gu Luoqi's heart softened, and she hugged her. "Grandma, I'll come to see you again next time."
Although Grandpa was reluctant to leave, he still said, "If we don't leave now, we'll miss the train."
After saying goodbye, Gu Luoqi and Qi Sheng got into the car.
As they slowly disappeared from sight, Gu Luoqi suppressed the reluctance in her heart.
Then, following up on the previous question, he asked, "What did you say to the little one?"
She racked her brains for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
Qi Sheng gestured for her to come closer, and when she did, he whispered, "It's a secret."
Gu Luoqi: "..." They're all just fooling her.
This time, they didn't go straight home, but went to Grandma's house first.
Grandma Gu and the others were already quite familiar with Qi Sheng, since they came every year.
On her second day at her grandmother's house, Gu Luoqi went fishing with her father and grandfather.
Unlike before, this time she brought Qi Sheng with her.
"You should know how to fish, right?" she asked, a little unsure.
Grandpa's hobbies were very obvious: smoking, drinking tea, and fishing.
So Gu Luoqi naturally learned how to fish.
"No." Qi Sheng was as honest as ever.
Gu Luoqi asked helplessly, "Why can't you do it?"
Grandpa Gu would sometimes take him fishing, and it would be unreasonable for him to know nothing about it.
Qi Sheng stared at her with clear eyes, "You wouldn't let me learn before."
Faced with such an accusing gaze, Gu Luoxi felt a little guilty.
Suddenly, I remembered something from my childhood, and it seems like this really happened.
Grandpa took her and Qi Sheng fishing before. When Grandpa tried to teach her, she cried and made a fuss, refusing to let him learn.
She felt a pang of shame and said, "I'm sorry."
But besides saying sorry, she didn't know what else she could say at that moment.
Perhaps bringing up past events made the atmosphere a bit awkward, and Qi Sheng felt a little regretful, but he quickly composed himself.
"I told you, you don't need to apologize to me. If you really feel sorry, you can teach me now."
"Mmm." Gu Luoqi had no reason to refuse, and even wished she could teach him everything she knew.
Gu Luoqi may not be a qualified teacher, but Qi Sheng is definitely a qualified student.
He quickly grasped the basics.
Gu Luoqi gently reminded him, "It moved."
Qi Sheng pulled up the fishing rod, but...
In short, both of them remained quite silent.
They fished up an ink bottle.
"It's okay, it's normal to catch odds and ends while fishing," Gu Luoqi said.
Soon, Qi Sheng's fishing rod moved again, and he pulled it up once more.
The two fell silent even more; this time, it was a broken bamboo tube.
"This... must be just bad luck," Gu Luoqi couldn't help but comfort him.
But then, Qi Sheng caught all sorts of strange things.
Including but not limited to beer bottles, shoes, etc., but not a single fish.
"This...this is unbelievable." Gu Luoqi was shocked.
There's really no way to explain this. If I had to explain it, it would be that there's something dirty inside.
"I'll give it a try." She really didn't believe in this nonsense.
She took Qi Sheng's fishing rod and soon pulled up a fish.
"Ah..." In order not to hurt Qi Sheng's feelings, she tried her best to hold back her laughter, but she couldn't hold it in at all!
Hahahahaha…
It's rare to see something that Qi Sheng isn't very good at.
Seeing her laughing so wildly, Qi Sheng looked at her with a resentful expression, just like a wronged little wife.
In the following days, Gu Luoqi did not take him fishing again in order to avoid upsetting him.
After spending a few days at his grandmother's house, Mr. Gu's annual leave was coming to an end.
He and Gu Luoqi bid a reluctant farewell to their grandparents and embarked on their journey home.
After returning home, Gu Luoqi rested for a few days, then met up with Cheng Cheng, and then continued to advance her study plan.
She was determined to be in the top ten of her class at the end of the semester, and through her diligent studies, she actually achieved it.
During the holidays, the system generated many mock exams for her, and she completed one exam for each subject every two days.
However, she was troubled and somewhat discouraged. "System, I feel like I've hit a bottleneck."
Anyway, she was busy doing test papers and checking answers, but she made almost no progress.
This made her feel a little uneasy, even though with her current grades, getting into a top-tier university shouldn't be a problem.
