Chapter 93: The Academic Prodigy's Dark Moonlight (4)
The homeroom teacher was extremely pleased with Wen Wan's current attitude towards learning.
Wen Wan casually mentioned to the teacher that she wanted to be Gu Sheng's deskmate, and the homeroom teacher naturally agreed. After all, the homeroom teacher was also worried because although Gu Sheng had good grades, he was very solitary in the class and didn't seem to have any friends.
So Wen Wan became Gu Sheng's deskmate.
It's a classic case of being in a privileged position.
Next step: Become Gu Sheng's best friend.
Wen Wan moved her things next to Gu Sheng, saying, "Little one, I'll have to guide you a lot in the future."
Gu Sheng: "..."
"I told you, don't call me that." When his grandmother called him by his childhood nickname, he only felt affection, but when this person called him that, he felt ashamed.
"I like it, Ah Zai is such a cute name."
...
Half a month passed quickly, and the monthly exam came around. Gu Sheng highlighted the key points for Wen Wan, so Wen Wan no longer had the energy to tease Gu Sheng because there was just too much to cover—it was ridiculously much.
Every day, all she does is practice problems, even in her dreams. And the teachers seem to have noticed Wen Wan's studious attitude, so... they all love to ask her questions. Now, Wen Wan doesn't even dare to slack off in class anymore.
It's so painful.
With a bitter expression, he complained to the system, "System, is there really no cheat system? The kind that makes your IQ skyrocket?"
The system was also surprised that its host had actually persisted for so long, but a cheat code? Sorry, no.
Their system never cheats.
In the first monthly exam, Wen Wan's ranking jumped by two hundred places.
Why so many? It's probably because the space is too big. The original owner was in the rocket class because her father donated twenty computer rooms to the school. She was always at the bottom of the class in every exam, so her improvement was entirely because her foundation was too poor.
When Liu's father found out, he immediately gave Wen Wan a large red envelope, and Liu's mother bought her many beautiful dresses as a reward.
When Wen Wan received her report card, she was very happy and immediately placed the test paper in front of Gu Sheng, "Little one, I've improved so much, is there any reward?"
Gu Sheng took Wen Wan's test paper and circled several questions in red pen. "You've practiced these questions, only the numbers have changed, why are you still getting them wrong?"
Wen Yan: "..."
She reached out to pull her test paper back, but Gu Sheng held it down, and she couldn't pull it out at all.
"And this is the same question as the one you did before. Why are your steps still wrong?"
Wen Wan felt a little guilty. "I suddenly forgot. I promise I won't make a mistake next time."
"Correct the wrong questions, and ask me if you don't understand anything." Gu Sheng put down Wen Wan's test paper and then handed her his own perfect test paper. Gu Sheng was once again the top student in the whole grade, with a perfect score in science and math, except for losing a little in Chinese and English.
Is this scientifically sound?
"This is unscientific. System, what's wrong with this male lead? This is definitely a protagonist's halo. Have you ever seen such incredible achievements in real life? The author is exaggerating too much when writing this story."
Wen Wan complained to the system while correcting the test paper.
System: [Host, isn't it standard for the male lead in your stories to have an IQ of 250? Why do you have the nerve to say other authors exaggerate?]
Wen Yan: "..."
Gu Sheng glanced at the person who was pouting but diligently correcting their mistakes, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. The classmate next to her who accidentally saw this scene was stunned.
He turned his head away in a daze.
My deskmate asked, "What's wrong?"
"I must be blind, I just saw Gu Sheng smile."
"Really?" The classmate looked over, but still saw an icy face that kept strangers at bay. "You might be hallucinating from doing so much practice problems. That's Gu Sheng, you know. When have you ever seen him smile? Many people suspect he might have facial paralysis."
Wen Wan handed the corrected test paper to Gu Sheng for inspection, "Is it okay now? Can I get a reward? I've improved so much this time."
Gu Sheng folded up the test paper and then gave Wen Wan a book.
Wen Wan took it and looked at it: Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years of Simulation.
Wen Yan: "???"
"As a reward, you'll do more practice problems."
Seeing Wen Wan's stunned expression, Gu Sheng's eyes crinkled with a smile.
...
After school, Wen Wan and Gu Sheng walked together and ran into Chu Yanran. "Yueyue, your grades have improved so much this time, shall we go celebrate?" Looking at Gu Sheng beside her, Chu Yanran continued, "Gu Sheng can come too!"
Gu Sheng: "I'm not going."
Chu Yanran: "..."
Chu Yanran tugged at Wen Wan's school uniform sleeve, "Yueyue, you haven't played with us in a long time. Come on over this weekend!"
Just as Wen Wan was about to speak, Gu Sheng looked at her and said, "Go ahead, but even if you go out to play, you still have a lot of homework and tests to finish these two days. I hope you can finish them."
Upon hearing this, Wen Wan immediately pulled Chu Yanran's hand away and said righteously, "Yanran, it's already the second semester of senior year. We need to have a sense of urgency and not just think about playing every day. You also need to study hard so that you can get into a good university in the future."
Chu Yanran, who had just ranked in the top 100 in her grade: "???"
She was actually told to study hard by Liu Yayue, who is a terrible student? Has the sun really risen in the west?
By the time they came to their senses, Wen Wan and Gu Sheng had already walked far away.
Chu Yanran stomped her foot, then answered the phone and apologized to her classmates. She had originally wanted Liu Yayue to invite them to dinner at Wangyating, a high-end club with shares held by the Liu family. They had been there before, and Chu Yanran never expected to be refused.
Now she's embarrassed herself because she simply can't afford the expenses there.
Wen Wan and Gu Sheng arrived at the market. "What are we doing at the market?"
Gu Sheng: "Buy groceries and cook."
How could she not know that grocery shopping is part of cooking? It's just that seeing Gu Sheng buy fish, chicken, and several kinds of vegetables is quite unusual for Gu Sheng.
"Why did you suddenly buy such a lavish amount?"
"This is the reward."
Wen Yan: "..."
Watching Gu Sheng haggling with the vendor, Wen Wan suddenly felt a slight tremor in her heart.
"So the reward wasn't a reference book after all."
Back at Gu Sheng's house, a little girl was sitting at the door. As soon as she saw Gu Sheng, she ran over, "Brother~"
Gu Sheng patted her head and introduced her to Wen Wan, "This is my younger sister, Gu Shuyun."
"Gu Sheng, Gu Shuyun, both are nice names." Wen Wan patted her schoolbag, then took out a bag of candy and handed it to Gu Shuyun, "A gift from your sister."
Gu Shuyun glanced at her brother, who didn't object, and then took the candy, looking at Wen Wan, "Thank you, sister."
The Gu family's genes are really good. Gu Sheng is not only good-looking, but her younger sister is also delicate and cute.
"Xiaoyue is here?"
Wen Wan went inside and talked to Grandma Gu, while Gu Sheng went to prepare stewed chicken.
After the chicken was stewed, Gu Sheng asked Wen Wan to take out her homework to do. On the other side, Xiao Shuyun asked, "Does Sister also need to do her homework?"
Wen Yan: "..."
There was nothing she could do; it was her fault for paying for such a strict tutor who wouldn't even let her off the hook on Fridays, assigning her a mountain of homework.
Xiao Shuyun is currently in the second year of junior high school. She encountered a problem she couldn't solve, so she asked Wen Wan. Wen Wan thought that junior high school problems couldn't be difficult, so she confidently took the problem. After reading the problem and then reading it again, she was completely baffled.
Is this the level of difficulty that junior high school students should be facing?
"Can't your sister do it either?"
Wen Yan: "..."
"System, help!!! This is a matter of dignity!!!" If she can't solve it, wouldn't she be even worse than a middle school student?
Gu Sheng heard the sound and came over. He glanced at the question in Wen Wan's hand, then wrote down the solution on a piece of paper. He explained it to Xiao Shuyun, and also to Wen Wan.
After explaining, ask, "Did you understand?"
Wen Yan: "..."
Xiao Shuyun said, "I understand, brother is really amazing."
Wen Wan clapped her hands. As long as she wasn't embarrassed, embarrassment wasn't a problem. "Brother Gu Sheng is really amazing."
Gu Sheng patted Xiao Shuyun's head, glanced at Wen Wan, and Wen Wan even felt that he wanted to pat her head, but in the end he didn't, and continued to look at the chicken stewing in the kitchen.
At dinner time, Gu Sheng prepared a lot of dishes. Xiao Shuyun ate with her eyes half-closed the whole time, while Wen Wan almost buried her face in her bowl. Grandma Gu looked at the two of them and was happy. "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Xiao Shuyun nodded, and Wen Wan also nodded, but they didn't stop talking.
"Gu Sheng, why don't you become a chef in the future? Your skills are better than those of many big restaurants."
Xiao Shuyun nodded; she agreed.
After they finished eating, Gu Sheng went to clean up, while the aunt rested on the side, and Wen Wan and Xiao Shuyun talked.
Just then, Wen Wan's phone rang; it was Liu's father calling.
"Hello."
Father Liu: "Yueyue, where are you? Your mother and I are back."
Wen Wan: Why did you suddenly come back?
"I'm at my classmate's house, I'll be home soon."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Wan went to the kitchen to watch Gu Sheng washing the dishes. "I have to go home. My parents are back."
Gu Sheng rinsed the soap off her hands. "I'll take you."
The driver always came to pick up Wen Wan at the same time every day, but he obviously didn't come this time. Gu Sheng took Wen Wan to a place where she could hail a taxi, and then watched her get into the car before going home.
When Wen Wan returned home, she saw the Liu family couple sitting in the living room. Liu's father had a square face and looked somewhat serious. He was wearing black-rimmed glasses and reading a newspaper, while Liu's mother had a gentle appearance, looked very young, and looked very much like the original owner of the body.
"Mom and Dad, I'm home."
Wen Wan was a little nervous. After all, she was not the original Liu Ya Yue, and she was afraid of being exposed. As soon as Wen Wan finished speaking, the two of them looked up at her. "Why are you back so late? Aunt Liu said you went to your classmate Gu Sheng's house for tutoring?"
Wen Wan nodded. "He is the top student in our school. His grades are excellent. I improved by more than 200 places in the monthly exam, all because Gu Sheng tutored me."
Mother Liu: That's good. We'll invite him to dinner sometime.
After all, it's a good thing to be able to get my daughter, who doesn't like studying, to focus on her studies.
Then he took a gift box and handed it to Wen Wan, saying, "This is your birthday present."
Wen Wan: Today seems to be the original owner's birthday.
However, since the two had called each other a while ago saying they wouldn't be coming back, Wen Wan didn't pay much attention.
Wen Wan opened the gift box and found a beautiful silver necklace with a delicate little rose on it.
Do you like it?
Wen Wan nodded. "I like it."
Liu's father was much more unpretentious; he simply gave Wen Wan a large red envelope, which Wen Wan naturally appreciated.
Afterwards, Aunt Liu brought out the birthday cake, lit the candles, and said, "Make a birthday wish every month."
What is Wen Wan's birthday wish?
Let's make a birthday wish for the original owner: "I hope my parents can live a healthy and happy life, free from illness and disaster."
Mr. and Mrs. Liu looked at their daughter with relief. They found that their daughter had become much more sensible since she came back this time.
Wen Wan silently made a second wish in her heart, "I hope I can complete the mission and return to my world as soon as possible, and I also hope that Gu Sheng can find happiness."
As she blew out the candles, Wen Wan hoped that all her wishes would come true.
