Chapter 122 Trap
"Xiangxiang, are you still going to take the art exam?" Gu Ji asked, looking at Guan Xiang as she scrolled to the art student recruitment page.
Looking at the thin-skinned art college, Guan Xiang sighed repeatedly, "My level 10 violin is a great advantage for me to pursue a special talent path. Anyway, there's a family business to inherit, so what I study doesn't matter. My mom says it's good to cultivate my character."
Guan Xiang originally planned to rely solely on her academic scores, but after calculation and analysis, she discovered that adding her art scores would meet the admission standards of Nan'an University, so she decided to take the art exam.
"So you're going to take the art exam in a few days, right?" Gu Ji calculated the time in his mind.
Guan Xiang sighed, looking dejected. "I won't be coming to class tomorrow. My mom wants me to practice more at home."
Despite Guan Xiang's violin level of Grade 10, Guan's mother was still worried that she wouldn't be able to pass the art entrance exam for Nan'an University.
Gu Ji patted Guan Xiang on the shoulder encouragingly and said, "Then I wish you every success."
As if remembering something, Guan Xiang immediately grabbed the girl's hand on her shoulder and said excitedly, "Zhao Zhao, I want to quickly absorb some of your academic aura so that I can successfully enter Nan'an University and be in the same school as you again."
Gu Ji was both amused and exasperated. He glanced at Guan Xiang a few times, pursed his lips, and said, "If it were my academic performance, I might have the air of a top student. But if it's art, then you've come to the wrong person."
Although she was also learning to play the piano, compared to Guan Xiang's level of passing exams, she was just an amateur.
Taking piano lessons is a way to change my mindset and avoid feeling constantly exhausted and stressed from studying.
Uncle Dan didn't expect her to have great skill in piano, and even told the piano teacher that she didn't need to be particularly strict with her.
The ultimate goal of playing the piano is to achieve relaxation of the mind.
"Then I'll go and absorb some of the good luck from the violin master's photo."
Guan Xiang immediately took out a photo of the famous violinist from his desk and stared at it intently, as if trying to bore a hole through him.
In the second semester of the senior year, Nan'an Middle School also started implementing evening self-study sessions, and students would not be dismissed until 9 p.m.
Dan Anwen was worried about the driver picking up the girl after evening self-study, so he always went to pick her up himself, which directly led to a strange situation at the Dan Group.
The CEO who used to leave work early has disappeared and turned into a ruthless machine who works overtime like crazy from Monday to Thursday. But the strange thing is that he leaves work on time at 8:30 pm.
For a while at first, the secretarial staff were on tenterhooks, thinking something big had happened to the company, but in the end they found out that the president was just working overtime.
Only Liu Lei knew that the president was doing all this to accommodate Miss Gu's schedule, spending every day working overtime in the office or researching Miss Gu's future academic plans.
When he entered the president's office last time and saw the thick stack of plans on the desk, he realized that the president had considered things very far ahead, even planning in detail Miss Gu's possible future doctoral studies.
However, he sensed that the president didn't intend to give the plan to Miss Gu; instead, it remained locked in his office drawer.
After evening self-study ended, Gu Ji, Guan Xiang, and Dan Si left the school gate together. As soon as they came out, they saw Dan Anwen's Maybach parked not far away.
The area was full of luxury cars picking up high school seniors from their evening self-study sessions. The man's Maybach was inconspicuous, if you ignored the license plate.
The second semester of senior year is busy with studies. Jinshan Villa is closer to Nan'an Middle School, and it is half an hour less of a drive than Danyuan. So Dan Si suggested that he live in Jinshan Villa for the second semester.
Dan's mother was happy to oblige, since Dan Si's enthusiasm for studying had been growing stronger over the past two years. Without saying a word, she packed Dan Si and his luggage and took him to Jinshan Villa. Dan Anwen didn't even have time to refuse.
According to Danmu, it means that one sheep can be let graze, and two sheep can be walked together.
"Uncle, what snacks did you bring tonight? I'm starving." As soon as Dan Si got into the car, he looked around and complained about being hungry.
Dan Anwen's slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the keyboard. The dim lighting inside the car made it impossible to see his expression. His tone was indifferent. "The things are in the passenger seat. The cake inside is for the children."
After saying that, he glanced again at the girl who was talking to Guan Xiang outside the car.
Dan Si secretly curled his lip. He was already used to his uncle's favoritism, and his heart had become numb to it over this period of time.
But her body betrayed her as she leaned over to grab the shopping bag.
Besides, does he look like the type of person who would eat overly sweet cakes?
If Gu Ji were there, he would definitely say, "Was it a mouse that stole the food last time?"
Mouse: I'm not taking the blame for this.
After Gu Ji got into the car, Dan Anwen opened the cake box and handed it to her.
Gu Ji had a big smile on his face, clearly having a very pleasant chat with Guan Xiang.
"So happy?" Dan Anwen raised an eyebrow and asked. Lately, the little girl had been looking gloomy every day, and the mental exertion of the day made it impossible for her to smile.
Gu Ji scooped up some cake with a fork, her pink cheeks puffed out. "Guan Xiang said that when she comes back from her art exam, we'll go out and have fun together."
Since the winter break, Gu Ji has been studying like crazy and hasn't had any time to go out and relax.
Dan Anwen gently ruffled the girl's soft hair, her voice tender, "Are you tired from studying?"
"Mmm-hmm." Gu Ji nodded cutely, biting on the milk tea straw.
Looking at Gu Ji's bright, sparkling almond-shaped eyes, she looked just like Guo Guo and Tang Tang wagging their tails and acting cute at home.
Dan Anwen's thin lips curved slightly, his eyes filled with doting affection, and he said with a smile, "Then I'll take you and Guan Xiang out to play."
"good."
Dan Si listened to his uncle's words and just wanted to roll his eyes.
How can your own nephew be treated like dirt?
I never asked him if he was tired, nor did I ask him if he wanted to go.
Dan Si casually crossed his legs, finished his snacks in a few bites, clapped his hands nonchalantly, and said, "Uncle, your nephew is also very tired. Aren't you going to check on me?"
The man understood what Dansi meant; he just wanted a raise in his allowance, but he had already given him many raises recently.
Dan An started the car, not even sparing him a glance, and said indifferently, "Don't you have legs? Couldn't you have come along yourself?"
As he spoke, the man's gaze drifted from the rearview mirror to the unseemly crossed legs.
Dan Si was momentarily speechless. Sensing the warning in his eyes, he silently put down his crossed legs.
The idea of increasing my allowance was nipped in the bud.
Dan Anwen gripped the steering wheel, his tone indifferent, "Little friend, what would you like for lunch tomorrow?"
For the past two weeks, Dan's mother has been preparing nutritious meals to ensure that the two students in her family who are about to take the college entrance examination have enough energy to avoid their bodies collapsing under the immense pressure of studying.
So every day at noon, he would personally prepare nutritious meals and have the maid deliver them to the two of them at school.
Gu Jiqing's sharp eyes fell on the car window, looking at the traffic light not far away. She pursed her lips and said, "I want to eat Grandma's braised prawns."
"Is there anything else?" Dan Anwen tilted his head and looked at the girl with his dark, deep eyes.
"No more." Gu Ji shook his head.
After asking the question, Dan Anwen showed no intention of asking Dan Si and remained silent.
Dan Si, sitting in the back seat, looked up from his phone and said with dissatisfaction, "Uncle, why didn't you ask me what I wanted to eat?"
Dan Anwen's eyes were indifferent, and his tone was unreadable, "Your grandma only asked the children if they wanted to eat, and told them to order with their grandma themselves."
The declarative sentence carries a warning tone.
The displeasure on Dan Si's face vanished without a trace.
He has been a picky eater since he was a child. His mother's nutritious meals are usually bland and tasteless, so he naturally doesn't like to eat them.
When Dan's mother found out, as punishment, she directly cut off Dan Si's right to order food for the next few days.
Now he doesn't even have the right to order from the limited menu anymore. For the past few days, he's been eating whatever Gu Zi eats.
"Then let's forget about it," Dan Si muttered to himself.
He dared not stir up the powder keg that was Danmu, otherwise he would be burned beyond recognition.
Looking at Dan Si's pitiful appearance in the back seat, Gu Ji felt a pang of sympathy. "Uncle Dan, I still want to eat Grandma's braised fish."
Dan Anwen knew exactly what the child was thinking; this was Dan Si's favorite dish.
Only a child would fall for Dan Si's trap, completely unaware that he was putting on a show for the two of them.
"Okay, I'll talk to your grandma later."
His dull, lifeless eyes suddenly lit up, shining even brighter than the neon lights outside the window.
Studying is so hard, so of course we need to satisfy our appetites to be truly happy.
