However, most of what he painted was a dark sky, which he only briefly touched upon without detailed depiction. When people look at this painting, their eyes are still subconsciously drawn to the residential buildings, which makes it seem eerie.
"Are you sure this place is his home and not some gathering place for wandering ghosts?" Gu Luoqi looked for a long time but still couldn't see any signs of human habitation.
Could it be that the artistic expression was too intense, and her aesthetic sense couldn't keep up?
"Host, could it have some symbolic meaning?" The system remembered that humans have something called the subconscious.
Perhaps he was too resistant to this place, which is why his drawings appeared rather eerie.
"Maybe." Gu Luoxi picked up the painting. Qi Sheng had given it to her on his own initiative, and she treasured it.
She thought for a moment whether she should express it.
But it also felt out of place in her room.
Then she thought better of it; if she had this thing in front of her every day, she would have nightmares.
Anyway, this was just a casual drawing by Qi Sheng. If it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing, there's no point in her making wild guesses here.
Qi Sheng, who was not far from her, silently closed the door, leaned against it, and stood there stunned for a long time.
“Many years…” he murmured to himself.
A hint of sadness crept into his eyes, making him look quite different from usual.
Then, he slowly walked into the room, his figure appearing somewhat desolate.
"Host, take a look at the notebook Qi Sheng gave you." The system was worried that she was putting the cart before the horse and forgetting about the notebook because of a strange drawing.
"Hmm." Gu Luoqi found a place she considered 'safe' and put the painting away, intending to study it slowly later.
She opened her notebook and found that what Qi Sheng had compiled was exactly the same as the items that were free for a limited time in the system store, and even more detailed and simpler.
"System, I'm finding Qi Sheng more and more pleasing to the eye now," Gu Luoqi said with a smile.
She felt that Qi Sheng had helped her a lot this time.
"Host, you can't let your emotions affect your studies," the system said righteously. It had clearly misunderstood Gu Luoqi's meaning.
Gu Luoqi: "..." Why does this guy think about random things all day long, just like Xiao Chengzi?
Honestly, what do they take her for?
The system then thought about it and suddenly realized that Qi Sheng couldn't affect her grades, and might even have some positive effect.
"Um... host, actually, it wouldn't be a bad thing if the object of your puppy love was Qi Sheng..."
Even though it felt wrong saying those words itself.
"Shut up." Gu Luoqi was speechless.
She's still a minor, okay? Minors are prohibited from dating too early.
She's not that inhuman.
"Host, I vaguely remember that you'll be an adult next month." The system remembered her birthday, so using that as an excuse wouldn't work.
"But Qi Sheng isn't an adult yet," Gu Luoqi said through gritted teeth.
"I'm only a year younger than you, and besides, now's a good time to build some rapport, so you won't be unwanted later." The system spoke the last three words very softly, but every single one reached Gu Luoxi's ears.
"Nobody wants me?" she asked incredulously.
Although she wasn't a stunning beauty, she thought she was pretty good-looking enough not to have fallen to the point where no one wanted her.
"Very likely, you shouldn't disbelieve it." The system's tone became more serious.
"That doesn't mean you can lay a hand on Qi Sheng," Gu Luoqi said coldly.
Even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows.
She picked up her phone to ask Xiao Chengzi if she had arrived home yet.
I suddenly noticed the messages in their class group chat.
The results are in.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.
"Open it and take a look?" the system said coldly.
"I'm a little scared," Gu Luoqi said in a low voice.
"I've already opened it for you, it's not the first one," the system said calmly.
"Not last place! Then what's the last place?" Gu Luoqi asked excitedly.
Of course, her focus is always so unique.
"Can't you have a little more confidence in yourself?" the system said angrily.
Just how insecure is this guy?
"Don't I know what I'm like?" Gu Luoqi was embarrassed; she knew her own limitations.
"My requirements aren't high, I just don't want to get last place," she continued.
"No ambition," the system said quietly.
It seems that the system wasn't pushing her hard enough, which is why she lacks confidence in herself.
Gu Luoqi: "..." So what does this have to do with you?
Is this the reason it has been oppressing her?
She didn't accept it.
Since the system had already said it wasn't the last place, she had no more worries.
She scrolled down the ranking list and found that Xiao Chengzi was seventh this time.
"Little Orange is so amazing." She was happy for Cheng Cheng.
There was also a hint of envy.
Sure enough, having a sharp mind makes all the difference.
Even now, she still thinks that Xiao Chengzi is a tiny bit smarter than her.
Finally, she saw her own name.
This time it wasn't the last one, and she was a little excited.
She, who had been dominating the charts for so long, is finally stepping down and making way for someone more capable.
When she discovered there were several people behind her, she exclaimed, "Wow, I'm so amazing!" She almost cried tears of joy.
"Is it really necessary?" The system didn't quite understand her overly emotional reaction.
“Of course it’s necessary, how could it not be?” Gu Luoqi excitedly began counting her rankings.
I discovered that I was seventh from the bottom.
"I really have a special connection with Little Orange," she said with a smile.
They truly are best friends; they are on the same wavelength.
"What's the point of comparing a positive number and a negative number?" the system asked.
"Don't worry about these little details," Gu Luoqi said nonchalantly.
She texted Cheng Cheng to tell her the good news.
Just as she was about to put down her phone and press her advantage, she received a message from her good classmate Xu Cheng.
"Why did you abandon me? Aren't we comrades-in-arms?" Gu Luoqi could feel his accusation just by reading the words.
"Brother, I'll take my leave first. I'll definitely study harder in the future and try to set a good example for you." Gu Luoqi seized the opportunity to climb up the ladder, putting on the airs of an older brother.
Xu Cheng, holding his phone, twitched at the corner of his mouth, unsure how to reply to her.
"Then I must thank you for your guidance, brother." He replied after a while.
He knew his "good older brother" might improve, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
Sigh, it seems he'll be the only one going down this path from now on.
Gu Luoqi looked at her phone and suddenly felt that her little brother was quite sensible. "If you work hard with your big brother, you can do it too."
The importance of studying hard should naturally be promoted, as it is such a positive thing.
"Host, well done." Her actions were recognized by the system, her superior.
"You've made great progress this time. You must continue to work hard and not slack off."
This is a summary of Gu Luoqi's achievements by her superiors.
