You have to cram at the last minute.
Mu Wenxi frantically practiced past competition questions, even abandoning comics during evening self-study sessions to work on the questions.
Gu Yuze knew that Mu Wenxi was going to compete, but he didn't bother her. He started studying according to the tutor's instructions.
The private investigator arranged by Gu Shaoyan was highly capable and responded quickly.
After receiving the message, he went to see his cousin.
After finishing his tutoring session, Gu Yuze was struggling with the questions when his cousin called.
Gu Shaoyan: "Brother, come out for a moment, it's a bit complicated."
Gu Yuze secretly left home and met up with his cousin at their usual spot. Gu Shaoyan's eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
"This person is very well hidden. He only transferred to City A in Z Province for high school. Before that, he lived in a small county with his mother. His mother had an affair and became involved with a rich man. His father found out, his parents divorced, and he came to the city with her."
Hopefully, the goddess won't be fooled by his looks.
Gu Yuze picked up the lighter on the table and kept pressing it. He didn't have the habit of smoking, but when he was in a bad mood, he liked to press things that made noise, such as pen tips and lighters.
Gu Shaoyan glanced at his brother's expression and took a deep breath: "Actually, there's not much news about Bai Chi in the past two years, but there's something interesting about his past."
Gu Yuze gestured for him to continue: "Someone died in the junior high school that Bai Chi studied at."
Gu Yuze: "A coincidence?"
Gu Shaoyan shook his head: "She died because of school violence. People at that school said she liked Bai Chi, but the deceased's best friend said that the deceased never told her anything about Bai Chi."
Gu Yuze frowned.
Gu Shaoyan: "The detective also discovered that the news that the deceased liked Bai Chi was spread by someone arranged by Bai Chi."
Regardless of whether the girl's death was related to Bai Chi, it is certain that he had some purpose in spreading those rumors.
Gu Yuze: "What is his purpose?"
Gu Shaoyan: "Brother, do you still remember the rumors about Mu Wenxi?"
Gu Yuze: "Wen Xi is going to participate in a competition soon, and I'm a little worried."
What does Bai Chi want to do to Wen Xi?
Gu Shaoyan was about to say that he would have someone keep an eye on them when Gu Yuze said, "I've decided to secretly follow them."
Gu Shaoyan: "Brother, be careful. I have a feeling this kid is a bit strange. I'll give you the detective's contact information so you can contact him directly."
On the school playground, several students with backpacks were waiting for something.
Teacher Chen hurriedly walked over and tapped the heads: "Alright, everyone's here, get on the bus."
Five people plus a teacher, a total of six people, boarded a minibus chartered by the school.
A short-haired girl looked at the group of boys and approached Mu Wenxi, the only other girl among them, and asked, "Wenxi, can I sit with you?"
Wen Xi glanced at the cute girl and nodded, then took out a book, thought for a moment, and politely asked, "What's your name?"
The short-haired girl immediately turned to the side: "Wen Xi, my name is Chu He, you can call me Chu Chu."
She quickly shifted her gaze from Wen Xi's face to Wen Xi's book, giving her a strange look.
"Wenxi, what book are you reading?"
Wen Xi showed her the book.
The girl's eyes widened: "It's a romance novel!"
Wen Xi replied in a serious tone, "I am learning about human interaction."
The girl looked at him with admiration, saying that he could learn something from romance novels.
The group went about their own business, and soon the car stopped in front of a hotel in the next city.
Teacher Chen: "Two girls will share a room, and there are three boys in the room. One of you will have to share a room with me."
Poor Bai Chi was pushed out; what could he do, given his image as a gentle and considerate male god?
Chu Chu and Wen Xi were assigned to the same room. Both of them were extremely excited about participating in the competition for the first time, especially Chu Chu.
Chu Chu: "Just consider it a rest. Participation is the most important thing, hehe."
The competition was on the second day. Wen Xi and Bai Chi signed up for three subjects and would participate in the competition all day long.
They were the two main players, and the teacher decided to come and scout the location a day early to reduce the students' fatigue.
Meanwhile, Gu Yuze also arrived in City B, and took two days off just in case.
Gu's parents were speechless; they had initially disagreed.
Gu's father: "Why are you going to participate in the competition when everyone else is?"
Gu Yuze replied seriously, "I'll go protect her."
Gu's father almost burst out laughing, then deliberately gave a serious "tsk" sound. "You need protection just to participate in a competition?"
Gu Yuze pulled out his trump card: "Don't think I don't know that you used to skip classes with Mom back then. I just changed the place where I was studying."
In the end, Mr. and Mrs. Gu gave in, after all, he was their only son.
The hotel room is very large. The toilet is on the right-hand side when you enter the room. It has a separate wet and dry area and a bathtub. There are two beds in the room.
There's also a separate wardrobe, a TV in the middle directly opposite the bed, and a desk on the right, just enough for two people to study.
After settling everyone in, Teacher Chen took the meal tickets and knocked on each door, saying, "Let's go have dinner together."
The hotel's dinner was plentiful and hygienic. Compared to the school cafeteria, it was more like a buffet. You could enter with a meal ticket and take as much as you wanted. The food was also much better than what you'd get at school.
Mu Wenxi nodded as he ate, saying that the food tasted really good.
The group had a hearty appetite, and Bai Chi went to the restroom during the break.
After finishing their meal, the group lingered at their seats, reluctant to leave, feeling quite full.
Bai Chi suggested, "Shall we go for a walk nearby? A stroll will help digest our food and we'll sleep better tonight."
Since the group was interested in the area, they decided to set off immediately.
Teacher Chen declined, saying he couldn't play with the children and they felt uncomfortable around him.
