(Hint: The extra chapter is about what happened in high school before Gu Qingze entered the book. It contains many foreshadowings. I hope you can read it patiently.)
"Hey, Qingze!"
It was a familiar voice. After hearing it, Gu Qingze put down the pen in his hand, slowly raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice.
"The top student is worthy of being a top student. He's still doing homework during recess!"
From a distance, there was a boy with a gentle smile on his face, holding a basketball in his arms, approaching Gu Qingze.
"Don't flatter me. There's only one year left until the college entrance exam. I want to learn more."
Gu Qingze smiled helplessly. The boy in front of him was called Shen Yichen. At the beginning of the first year of high school, the two of them happened to be desk mates. They knew each other at that time. Even after that, they would still talk to each other. He could be considered his good friend.
"What do you mean there's only one year left? There's clearly still a whole year left."
Shen Yichen put the basketball under his desk, looked at Gu Qingze who was doing the questions again, and asked on a whim.
"Qingze, you're working so hard, are you trying to get into a top university, like Peking University or Tsinghua University?"
Listening to Shen Yichen’s question, Gu Qingze answered while writing the question.
"No, I want to go to a drama-focused university and become an actor after graduation."
It was the first time that Shen Yichen heard Gu Qingze talk about his ideals, and he found it a bit novel.
"I thought you would apply to an engineering university. After all, it's a more lucrative major, and you chose all science!"
"I'm just better at science, and being an actor is my dream. Playing different characters and experiencing different lives is fun, don't you think?"
"Indeed."
Shen Yichen nodded, then sighed as he thought of something.
"I really envy you for knowing what you want to do, unlike me who just eats and waits for death every day and accomplishes nothing."
Seeing Shen Yichen belittling himself like this, Gu Qingze comforted him casually.
"Aren't you good at writing? The male-oriented novel you wrote on scratch paper before was so popular in the class that the whole class was eager to read it. Maybe you can develop into a writer in the future."
Shen Yichen's grades weren't great, and he wasn't studying very hard, but his writing was good, and he had won first prize in the city before.
"Really??ω?"
Shen Yichen's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had found his life goal again.
"Of course, maybe when we meet again many years later, you will be a platinum writer at some point, and I will be an actor who has appeared in many TV series."
Gu Qingze smiled and joked with him.
"Good brother, maybe I will need your help in the future!"
"Okay, since you said that, I'll start writing tomorrow!"
Seeing Shen Yichen's boiling blood, Gu Qingze felt a little panicked. What should he do? It seemed like he had injected too much chicken blood, so he quickly spoke.
"We're in high school now, so we should focus on studying. It won't be too late to write after we get into college."
"No, I'll start writing tomorrow. I'll only get into an ordinary university whether I study or not, so I might as well find another way to make a living."
Ah this?!
It’s over, it’s over. Gu Qingze just said it casually. Xiao Shen’s parents won’t put the blame on him...
No, he still needs to persuade her.
"Actually, if you study hard now, you can also pass the exam..."
Shen Yichen interrupted him and asked while thinking.
"Qingze, how many wives do you think would be appropriate for the male protagonist in my novel?"
