Monday morning, just as dawn was breaking.
Gu Tingbai, who hadn't slept a wink all night, jumped out of bed with a somersault when he heard the alarm.
Although he already knew that the gaming master he had long admired, "Yi Shi Chang An," was Ling Mo's gaming alias, he still valued this morning's meeting very much.
The unwavering friendship between the expert and the newbie across species is something he can boast about for quite some time.
Gu Tingbai excitedly rushed to the dressing mirror, looking at the underwear with the Crayon Shin-chan wiggling his butt printed on it. On one hand, he felt incredibly flashy, but on the other hand, he felt that wearing cartoon underwear was a bit childish.
After much deliberation, he finally decided to change into underwear that would showcase his mature masculine charm.
"Damn it! How come I don't even have a proper pair of underwear? If the experts find out I'm still wearing cartoon underwear, where will I put my face?"
Gu Tingbai, who never felt that he was too naive, even wanted to imitate the dressing style of his good older brothers in order to show off his charm in front of Ling Mo.
Qin Beiming, Huo Yunting, and Gu Nanfeng all have good fashion sense.
Gu Nanfeng's clothing style leans towards business attire, and you can tell at a glance that he is a very wealthy person.
Needless to say, Huo Yunting exudes a strong aura of a domineering CEO.
As for Qin Beiming, he was a universally acknowledged clothes hanger, exuding an air of nobility that also revealed a captivating and unforgettable allure.
"Sigh! Who should we imitate?"
Gu Tingbai tugged at his underwear, thinking to himself that time was of the essence. If he couldn't steal Qin Beiming and Huo Yunting's clothes for the time being, he would have to make do with Gu Nanfeng's clothes.
Thinking of this, Gu Tingbai, the action-oriented person, slipped into Gu Nanfeng's bedroom again, gently pulled off the thin blanket covering him, and glanced at the brown-red underwear he was wearing.
"Tch... mature men's underwear is so ugly..."
Gu Tingbai glanced at Gu Nanfeng, who was fast asleep on the bed, with some disdain. He originally thought of just taking off Gu Nanfeng's underwear and putting it on himself.
But then he thought, if Gu Nanfeng woke up halfway through, he would definitely be so frightened by his actions that he would be paralyzed.
Left with no other choice, he had to search the entire house for the place where Gu Nanfeng kept his underwear.
"Gu Xiaobai, what are you doing?"
Disturbed by the rustling sounds, Gu Nanfeng sat up halfway, only to see Gu Tingbai pulling down his underwear, which had a Crayon Shin-chan pattern printed on it. Startled, she screamed.
"Don't do anything reckless, I'm your own brother!"
"It's just a pair of underwear I lent you, why are you getting so worked up?"
Gu Tingbai said casually, and after putting on his underwear, he twirled around in front of Gu Nanfeng several times, "Bro, open your titanium alloy dog eyes wide and take a good look at whether I'm manly or not?"
"Are you crazy? Stealing my underwear this early in the morning..."
"Gan Jiang and Mo Xie once said that a man's underwear often reveals his confidence. So, underwear is very important! Your underwear looks nice, can I borrow it?"
After Gu Tingbai changed into a more mature-looking pair of underwear, he felt a surge of confidence.
In fact, the main reason he wanted to appear more mature was that he hoped he could be like Qin Beiming, able to protect Ling Mo no matter what.
Do you remember the bet between Ling Tian and Ling Mo last Friday? The loser had to go up to the main stage and kneel down in front of the whole school to admit defeat.
In Gu Tingbai's view, Ling Mo's hasty acceptance of the challenge was tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.
However, no matter what happens, he will do his best to protect the number one e-sports god in his heart!
If Ling Tian really wants Ling Mo to kneel down and admit defeat, he will rush forward and kneel down for her!
"Hehe... When the time comes, the great god will definitely be extremely grateful to me! Third brother will also love me even more because of the great god."
Gu Tingbai's mind was racing with plans. The thought of becoming famous overnight and reaching the pinnacle of his life made him unconsciously start wiggling his hips.
When he was all ready, he rushed to No. 1 Middle School with great joy. Before he could even see Ling Mo, he saw a large group of people noisily crowding around the notice board.
"What's going on? Have the rankings for the standardized test already been released?"
"That's right. This unified exam is crucial for the intercontinental university's guaranteed admission quota, so the school is taking it extremely seriously. It's said that they started organizing university teachers from all over the city to grade the papers as soon as the exam was over on Friday."
"I have nothing to do with the guaranteed admission quota. I just want to see if Ling Mo, the newly crowned school beauty in Class F of the senior year who got zero in all subjects, can outperform Ling Tian, the former school beauty and top student in Class A."
"What kind of joke are you talking about? How could a bad student in Class F possibly outperform our class's sweetheart?"
...
Listening to the discussions among his classmates, Gu Tingbai squeezed into the crowd, craning his neck and staring intently at the monthly exam rankings on the bulletin board.
He glanced at the bottom right corner of the list and realized that Ling Mo was not the last place in this unified exam, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he subconsciously glanced at the top left corner of the list, where he was ranked first.
In fact, that spot had become Ling Tian's designated spot, and everyone had gotten used to it.
To his great surprise, the first place in this unified exam was no longer Ling Tian, but Ling Mo, who had never been favored by anyone!
"Ah! Sister Mo actually won!"
Gu Tingbai was overjoyed. He put his arm around a stranger next to him and let out a squeal like a groundhog, "Ah! My sister Mo is number one! 705 points, number one in the whole school!"
Cheng Chengshang, the class monitor of Class F, was still searching for his classmates' names at the bottom of the leaderboard when he heard a series of screams erupting from the crowd. Only then did he learn that Ling Mo from their class had lived up to expectations and come in first place.
He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and he pointed his fist to the sky, leading the shouts:
"Ling Mo from Class F, number one in the whole school! Ling Mo from Class F, number one in the whole school!"
"My deskmate is so awesome... Waaaaah..."
Li Wanwan originally thought that Ling Mo was bound to lose, but now, seeing that Ling Mo's total score was actually one point higher than Ling Tian's, she started to cry while laughing.
This moment was even more exhilarating than witnessing Ling Mo beat up the tattooed thug.
