59. Mingming was very satisfied with him.
"Your name is Ke Qi?" The female teacher looked at him with great interest.
"Mmm~"
Gu Zhao spoke without batting an eye, and then, amidst the suppressed laughter and amused gazes of the others in her class, smoothly answered the question.
In an instant, everyone's gaze shifted from spectator to one of amazement and admiration.
Many people even silently gave him a thumbs up.
"Awesome!"
Yu Sheng exclaimed in amazement, "He answered such a difficult question so easily after listening for only a short while. Is he an art student or am I?"
"normal."
Chen Youting said, "Don't forget that his overall academic performance is the best in his grade at his school."
"According to Lao Pei, his scores in every subject are terrifyingly close to or even full marks. His intelligence is beyond doubt, and he is fundamentally different from those athletes who are all brawn and no brains."
She said with a smile, "The baby that Qiqi and Gu the Great Demon King have in the future will definitely be super beautiful, super smart, and super artistic. I have to become a godmother!"
Yu Sheng laughed, "You're thinking way too far ahead."
While the two were joking around, Gu Zhao had already successfully earned Ke Qi 1 point for participation.
Seeing this, the girl behind him couldn't help but laugh and say to him, "Senior, you're so brave! If the teacher glances at the roster and asks about genders, you'll be exposed!"
Gu Zhao smiled and said, "It's because she didn't watch it~"
As soon as he finished speaking, the teacher on the podium said again, "Next question, let's call on another student to answer."
This time, instead of flipping through the roster, she looked directly at Ke Qi, who was sleeping next to Gu Zhao, and said to Gu Zhao with a half-smile, "Ke Qi, could you please tap the sleeping classmate next to you and ask her to get up and answer?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhao's smile froze slightly.
The class erupted in gloating laughter.
Some students, always eager for a good show, chimed in with their slyness: "Ke Qi, we're calling you! Why don't you wake up the student next to you?"
"That's right, Keqi, the teacher is waiting, haha!"
Gu Zhao: ...
Helpless, he volunteered, standing up and saying, "Teacher, how about I answer this question..."
"No need." The teacher interrupted his self-recommendation, her sharp gaze fixed on Ke Qi. "Call her up and let her answer."
Having no other choice, Gu Zhao woke up the soundly sleeping Ke Qi and briefly told her about the teacher calling on her to answer a question.
Ke Qi blinked blankly, then listlessly got up, thought for a moment, and easily answered.
The teacher's initial displeasure vanished instantly. "Good, your understanding of the knowledge points is also quite good. Sit down."
"But even if you understand, you still need to listen carefully in class and not lie down, it's not good if the class monitor sees you doing so."
Her gaze was no longer as sharp and serious as before; instead, it held a mixture of appreciation and concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"
She was indeed feeling a bit unwell. After taking the medicine Lu Shu gave her yesterday, she felt weak all over, had a fever, and was occasionally confused.
Fortunately, the travel guide said these symptoms were normal and would be fine after today.
She shook her head. "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, teacher. I won't lie down anymore."
"Okay," the teacher smiled. "I'll give you an extra point. What's your name?"
Upon hearing this, Ke Qi replied, "Ke... um~"
Before she could finish speaking, her mouth was covered by the young man's long, handsome hand.
Gu Zhao smiled and said to the teacher, "Teacher, her name is Chen Youting!"
Keqi: ...
Chen Youting: ? ? ?
Many students in the class who have a low threshold for laughter almost laughed themselves to death.
"Is that so?" The teacher glanced at Gu Zhao with a half-smile, then turned to Ke Qi. "Chen Youting, you answered very well. I'll remember you."
Keqi: ...
There's absolutely no need for that.
Chen Youting, standing to the side, was even more frantic.
Seriously, who wants to be remembered by the teacher? Should they keep calling on her during roll call next time?
The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became, and she couldn't help but look at Gu Zhao with a resentful gaze.
Gu Zhao pretended not to see, and turned to Ke Qi, saying, "Baby, you're so great! You answered correctly even while you were asleep!"
Ke Qi chuckled awkwardly, silently opened her phone and slid her knee to Chen Youting, and then also learned from her that Gu Zhao had answered the questions for her.
She was touched, and at the same time, she wanted to laugh.
Normally, I would have hugged him and given him a big kiss, and then praised him as a great boyfriend.
But now...
She closed her eyes and silently recited the four words: "When it's time to make a decision, make a decision."
-
There was only one class in the morning, and by the time Keqi finished, it was almost ten o'clock.
The moment get out of class ended, she rushed out of the classroom as if she had stepped on a rocket, afraid that some big dog would stick to her again.
But it's obvious that her legs aren't as long as his 1.92-meter-tall legs.
So, she was caught just seconds after running out of the classroom.
"Ke Qiqi".
His threatening voice came intimately yet dangerously close to her ear, "If you keep hiding from me, believe me, I'll take you back and tie you up so you can never run away again?"
The tone was extremely authoritative, and it didn't sound like a joke.
Keqi struggled, trying to prevent him from touching her, and attempted to reason with him: "Arbitrarily restricting a citizen's personal freedom is a crime, you can't do that!"
"Then you can keep trying to avoid me like this."
His large hand gripped her slender waist tightly, and his deep voice, for the first time, sent a chill down her spine: "Let's see if I actually get arrested when I do that."
Is it possible?
Yes, he never does anything he's not sure about.
When Gu Zhao got angry, he was fierce, which perfectly matched his image as a great demon king, while Ke Qi was still a bit timid.
She then became obedient, lowered her head, and pleaded softly, "Please let go of me first, okay? You're so strong, it hurts when you hug me."
"not good."
Certain memories resurfaced, and the piercing pain was tens of thousands of times more devastating than touching her now.
Gu Zhao's tone was strained, and upon closer listening, it even carried a hint of grievance, "Ke Qiqi, am I really that bad in your eyes?"
Her reactions every time she gets emotional are exactly like that...
He felt it clearly through the most intimate touch in the world.
Without exception, almost every time he spoke silently, expressing how much she liked and was satisfied with him.
As for being difficult to coax.
He buried his face in the sweet crook of her neck, not feeling he had done anything wrong, and accused her, "It's clearly you who's so impatient, yet you say I'm hard to coax."
He never gets angry for more than an hour, and he also has to take care of her because she's bad at sweet-talking and doesn't know how to coax him. He has to give her a way out. How is it hard to coax her?
"Ke Qiqi, you're such a heartless little thing."
Ke Qi felt a little guilty after what was said.
She wanted to comfort him, saying that he was great, great in every way, even a little too great.
As for being difficult to coax, he used to be a bit difficult, but now he can usually manage on his own without needing to be coaxed.
But she certainly couldn't admit it right now, so she remained silent.
Language can sometimes be a more harmful weapon than real weapons, just as silence and speechlessness can be.
Gu Zhao, who had been considered a prodigy by many since childhood, was always confident and proud, but for the first time, she felt a sense of defeat because of her silence.
His thin lips were pressed together until they turned white, and he finally fell silent, holding her wrist as they walked forward in silence.
His palms were slightly sweaty from enduring the pain, which Ke Qi could clearly feel as she struggled anxiously.
"Gu Zhao, let go! Where are you taking me?"
His voice was devoid of emotion: "Return to Yun Jin."
"Why go back to Yun Jin?"
Unconsciously, the memories of his fevers, fainting spells, and the pain that made it almost impossible to breathe that he had experienced there recently, due to their close physical intimacy, resurfaced in her mind.
A sudden pang of pain shot through my heart.
"don't want!"
Her face clearly showed her refusal. "I've already moved out. Don't come back!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhao did not let go. He simply turned back and looked at her intently, his dark eyes revealing hurt, and... a burning competitive spirit.
"Go back!" he gritted his teeth. "I hope Miss Keqi can point out exactly what I did wrong then~"
Ke Qi: ? ? ?
