Chapter 86: The Supporting Actress Whose Work Was Stealthed by Her Sister
After dinner, Gu Wan went upstairs, washed up, sat at the desk and began to look at Shen Shao's test paper. He was very bad at math and physics. It was obvious that he didn't do it carefully. But fortunately, she didn't think he would write it carefully. She turned to the Chinese test paper and glanced at it. Surprisingly, even the composition was filled in. She raised an eyebrow and looked at the previous questions. They were also a mess. The composition was even worse. It was a love letter written on purpose, and the person confessing his love was herself.
Gu Wan read it expressionlessly and made some comments on it, mainly focusing on punctuation errors and sentence grammar errors, and then put it in her bag.
The next morning, Gu Wan got up as usual and went for a run to exercise. The original owner's physical fitness was too poor, so if she wanted to use her own moves, she had to practice the basics first.
As expected, I met Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue ran slowly beside Gu Wan and looked at her sideways.
"Gu Wan, do you really hate me?"
Gu Wan adjusted her breathing while running, without even looking at him, and continued to maintain her original speed.
Jiang Yue thought she was angry that he had recognized the wrong person, but everyone was deliberately hiding it. He understood why, but what about Gu Wan?
Neither of them spoke, they just ran in silence.
Until Gu Wan finished today's training, she walked slowly, then stretched, and completed her own system.
Jiang Yue still followed her.
"Gu Wan, do you really not remember me?"
His eyes were bright. It was a little after seven in the summer and the wind was refreshing.
Gu Wan looked at him and recalled the description in the original novel: the wind was refreshing, the young man was also refreshing, and Jiang Yue was like the most beautiful memory, existing only in the original owner's own memory.
Jiang Yue does have a good appearance.
"Remember, Brother Jiang Yue."
Jiang Yue thought Gu Wan still wouldn't answer him, but unexpectedly she did. The meaning of this sentence was ambiguous, and they didn't say it out loud.
The two walked home side by side.
Jiang Yue turned his head to look at her ponytail and the soft hair scattered on her forehead.
"I will be your brother from now on. You can always come to me if you have any problems."
Gu Wan nodded, then looked up at him again.
"Goodbye." After saying that, she strode home. She greeted Gu Shengwen and Zhao Xiumei downstairs, went back to her room to take a shower, changed into a pink Polo short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and a pair of white sneakers. Her half-dried long hair was casually scattered.
Gu Shengwen looked at Gu Wan with great satisfaction. This was the youthful vigor. He reached out and peeled an egg for her.
"Xiao Wan, I heard from your aunt that being a tutor is a good idea for you. Your uncle supports you."
Gu Wan took it and thanked him.
"I have nothing to do."
At 7:55, Gu Wan arrived at the Shen family.
Aunt Jiang got up very early today and woke Shen Shao up early.
"Teacher Gu Wan is here. Shen Shao got up early today and is waiting for you."
Shen Shao stood on the second floor, his arms resting on the railing, looking down at Gu Wan with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Gu, good morning." He looked like he really wanted a beating.
Gu Wan saw that Shen Shao was indeed a bad boy. He took the high school entrance exam twice at the age of sixteen and got both blank papers.
"Good morning, classmate Shen."
Aunt Jiang didn't expect them to get along so well. "Teacher Gu, please go up first. I'll go prepare some fruit."
Gu Wan smiled and nodded, then went up to Shen Shao's room.
Shen Shao followed in and closed the door, with a half-smile in his eyes.
"Tell me, how does Teacher Gu plan to threaten me to study today?" After saying that, he pulled over a chair and sat down with his legs wide open.
Gu Wan took out several test papers.
"First, let's look at your Chinese composition. I've marked all your incorrect punctuation and grammatical errors. Now read it again in front of me."
She handed over the test paper expressionlessly.
Shen Shao swallowed, his Adam's apple rolled, and his movements became stiff.
Seeing him like this, Gu Wan put it in front of him.
"Read it."
Shen Shao took it and looked at the annotations on it, but he couldn't read a single word.
Gu Wan reached out and took it again.
"If you don't read it, I will read it."
After she finished speaking, she began to read.
"Dear Teacher Gu Wan, I really like you. I like your bright eyes and your voice. I fell in love with you at first sight..."
Shen Shao's face was already red, he stood up, raised his arm and snatched it away.
"Stop reading it."
Gu Wan looked at him teasingly and didn't care about the test paper.
"Why, do you think your writing is so bad that you find it embarrassing to read it?"
Shen Shao held the test paper tightly in his hands and lowered his head.
Gu Wan stretched out her white little hand in front of him and said, "Give it to me."
Shen Shao took a step back uncomfortably, very hesitant.
Gu Wan smiled and said, "I won't read it anymore. There are still many questions to be covered. Don't tear it up."
Shen Shao still exchanged the test paper with Gu Wan.
Gu Wan spread the test paper on the table, which was obviously more messy than yesterday.
“Chen Shao, clean up the table next time and don’t delay our studies.”
Shen Shao muttered "hmm".
Gu Wan sat down and said to herself, "Study hard. If your love letter is so bad, you will never be able to catch up with girls in the future."
Shen Shao didn't say anything. He reluctantly put the game controller on the table into a cardboard box and sat down.
Gu Wan first explained the test paper to him, and then began to explain according to the part he lacked the most. As she thought, Shen Shao was not stupid, but he seemed to have a knot in his heart, although she did not know what the knot was for the time being.
In the original novel, compared with the male protagonist who is a gifted son of heaven, the cousin is very low-key. It is said that he went abroad for graduate studies after graduating from university, and later returned to China to inherit the company.
Gu Wan had lunch at Shen's house.
Aunt Jiang prepared a guest room for Gu Wan so that she could rest at noon.
Shen Shao sat in his room and looked at the Chinese test paper that had been explained in the morning. He took it silently and looked at the comments on the back. His ears turned red and he laughed again. How could he write a love letter to someone else? He had received so many love letters since he was a child.
When Gu Wan taught Chen Shao again in the afternoon, she found that his mind was actually quite quick. After all, he was the male protagonist's cousin.
"Let's continue tomorrow. Your foundation is weak and you need to improve it."
Shen Shao said "oh" impatiently, then turned around and went upstairs.
Aunt Jiang felt that her son had made great progress and really liked Gu Wan.
Gu Wan attends classes every day, and she still meets Jiang Yue when she goes jogging in the morning.
Jiang Yue couldn't help but want to tease Gu Wan when he saw her. After all, her puffed-up little face looked like a puffed-up pufferfish, very cute. But Gu Wan rarely paid attention to him and didn't seem willing to pay attention to him. He watched Gu Wan go home and smiled helplessly. He probably owed her that. At that time, his eyes were injured and it was Gu Wan who kept muttering to him.
Now it's the other way around.
But in my memory, she was obviously very talkative, and at that time she brought me a world that I couldn't see.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.
Gu Wan is serious about tutoring, she has her own methods of teaching students, not to mention that Shen Shao is not stupid.
She gave out a set of test papers and started to let Shen Shao take the test again.
Aunt Jiang was extremely anxious when she knew her son had another exam.
Jiang Yue brought homemade rice dumplings to Shen's house.
Aunt Jiang was sitting in the living room downstairs drinking tea, and the aunt at home arranged for her to speak in a low voice so as not to disturb Shen Shao's exam.
Jiang Yue had long known that his aunt had hired a tutor for his cousin. It was said that the tutor was very good at teaching, and the unruly cousin had already started studying hard.
"Ah Yue, your mother made the rice dumplings. I love the ones she made."
Jiang Yue nodded, "Aunt, how is Shen Shao doing in his studies?"
Aunt Jiang smiled brightly when she mentioned this, and instructed my aunt to take the rice dumplings to the kitchen.
"I have an exam today, and I think it should go well."
Jiang Yue is four years older than his cousin. They could play together when they were young, but after growing up, they were in different circles and could no longer play together.
"That's good, don't worry too much."
Second floor.
Shen Shao quickly finished several test papers and placed them in front of Gu Wan.
"See, it's just a little stuff, but I learn it quickly." He said with an arrogant look.
Gu Wan took it and said, "I hope your composition isn't too disgusting."
Shen Shao hummed softly, then sat down again and turned on his game console.
"Teacher Gu, please correct the test papers. I'll play for a while."
Gu Wan revised her physics and mathematics papers first, and soon she made considerable progress. The difficulty of these two papers was not low. Her answers in Chinese were a bit sloppy, which could be seen from her handwriting, but her writing was very neat and the content was not bad.
Gu Wan walked behind him with the test paper and gently hit him on the head.
"You've made considerable progress, so tomorrow will be a holiday and there will be no classes."
The little man in Shen Shao's hand died in a few seconds, and he turned to look at Gu Wan.
"My mom paid for it, and you just wanted a vacation."
Gu Wan ignored him and packed her bag. "Master Shen, even if you are not worldly-wise, you should know that my work is hourly, so if you don't come tomorrow, I won't get paid. And I told you, I don't need money, so don't bring money up."
Shen Shao pursed his lips and said, “Then I will play games all night.”
Gu Wan nodded and said, "It's my duty. I've been very busy lately and I need to relax for a while." After that, she put on her bag, took the test paper in her hand, and went downstairs to explain to Aunt Jiang.
Shen Shao looked at her hurried back and felt a little angry, but he didn't know what he was angry about.
As soon as Gu Wan opened the door, her eyes met with Jiang Yue downstairs.
Jiang Yue also stood up with a little surprise. The girl that his aunt mentioned who was admitted to H University this year, a very beautiful girl, was her.
Aunt Jiang didn't notice Jiang Yue's expression. She just saw Gu Wan coming down with the test paper in her hand and hurried to greet her.
Gu Wan went downstairs with a smile.
"Auntie, this is Shen Shao's test paper. Compared to half a month ago, he has made a lot of progress. He is also very smart and knows how to apply what he has learned to other situations. I will give him a day off tomorrow and we will continue later."
Aunt Jiang saw the test paper handed over by Gu Wan and the score on it, which she had never seen before.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Teacher Gu." After saying that, she waved at the aunt again and took a red envelope. "This is a thank-you red envelope I prepared for you. You have worked so hard in the past half month." She knew how difficult it was to teach her son.
Gu Wan refused, "No, Auntie, I have received my tuition fees and cannot accept any more."
Finally, Jiang Yue and Gu Wan left the Shen family villa one after another.
Jiang Yue walked quickly to Gu Wan's side.
"Gu Wan, Gu Wan."
Gu Wan looked at him, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yue looked into her eyes, but didn't say what he wanted to say.
“Nothing, Shen Shao is my cousin.”
Gu Wan nodded, "I know. Is there anything else?"
Jiang Yue sighed, "Are you short of money?"
Gu Wan shook her head and said, "Find something for yourself to do."
Because of his own grievances, Chen Shao didn't go downstairs to see Gu Wan off. He played a game that didn't go well, so he simply stood up and went to his balcony. Jiang Yue and Gu Wan? Did they know each other?
Jiang Yue thought he knew Gu Wan quite well, but after many encounters, he felt that he was wrong.
"Gu Wan, has anyone ever told you that you were the cutest when you were a child?"
Gu Wan didn't stop, "Jiang Yue, you are boring." Her tone was very serious.
When Jiang Yue heard her refutation of him like this, he didn't know why his mood actually improved.
"I'm going to the school lab tomorrow, do you want to go?"
Gu Wan hummed and agreed, "I'm going to the bookstore tomorrow."
Jiang Yue spread his hands, "Okay."
When Gu Wan entered the yard, she happened to meet Zhao Xiumei.
Zhao Xiumei glanced at the people passing by and said, "Xiao Wan, that's Jiang Yue, right? Why are you coming back with him?"
Gu Wan was carrying her bag and said, "I met him on the road." She simply said this and went straight into the living room and upstairs.
Zhao Xiumei always felt that she was being too suspicious. Jiang Yue and Jingjing had been together for more than three years, so they had some emotional foundation.
The next morning, Gu Wan went running as usual. She went to bed at ten o'clock last night and got up at half past five. The weather was very comfortable at the moment, but the dew was still quite heavy.
Chen Shao didn't sleep well all night. He kept tossing and turning and kept thinking about the backs of Gu Wan and Jiang Yue he saw yesterday.
He didn't like Jiang Yue, he never did. He looked down on Jiang Yue, but everyone kept comparing him to him, so he simply stopped learning.
Chen Shao got up and washed up. Looking at himself in the mirror, he remembered that Gu Wan had said before that she liked to go jogging in the morning. He changed into sportswear and went out for a couple of laps.
Gu Wan looked at the person in front of her who looked very much like Shen Shao and shouted.
Shen Shao thought he had misheard, so he stopped and looked back.
"Gu Wan? Why are you here?"
Gu Wan unscrewed the water cup and took a sip, "I live here."
Shen Shao understood instantly, why did she say that she was not short of money and that she knew Jiang Yue?
"What's your home address?"
Gu Wan pointed casually, "18, it's not my house, it's my uncle's house."
Shen Shao knew that his uncle's house was No. 16, "Gu Jingjing is your cousin?"
Gu Wan nodded, "Correct."
The two of them ran slowly together.
Shen Shao kept turning his head to look at Gu Wan.
Gu Wan adjusted her breathing very well. "If you have anything to say, talk after you finish running. Don't talk while running." She emphasized this and didn't speak again.
Shen Shao also started running and continued until half past six.
Gu Wan started her daily stretching routine.
Shen Shao's forehead was covered in sweat, and he looked at Gu Wan seemingly unintentionally.
"So why didn't you say it before?"
Gu Wan finished stretching and sat on the bench. "What did you say? I only found out about it when Jiang Yue went to your house yesterday."
Chen Shao also knew that she was not familiar with this place, so he sat down next to Gu Wan.
Gu Wan felt a moving hot stove beside her and moved to the outside.
"Chen Shao, study hard. I'll be waiting for you at H University." She turned her head and raised it slightly to look at Chen Shao. "No matter what you want to do, you must first become someone who is qualified to realize your dreams, instead of doing some self-proclaimed struggle that is cool like you do."
Chen Shao listened to her voice, his heart pounding. He could clearly see the hairs on Gu Wan's face. Just as he was about to say something, he heard someone coming over.
Jiang Yue hadn't seen Shen Shao for a while.
"A Shao, are you out for a run too?"
Shen Shao stood up and hummed calmly, "Exercise."
Jiang Yue didn't have much to say to him.
"Gu Wan, let's meet at the bookstore at nine in the morning, and then go to school." He had actually sent a message to Gu Wan last night to confirm it, and he didn't know why he deliberately mentioned it again now.
Gu Wan nodded.
“Chen Shao, have a good rest today. I will buy you the latest test questions and select some suitable questions for you. Remember what I just told you.”
Chen Shao watched Gu Wan and Jiang Yue leave together, and he took note.
Jiang Yue pinched his fingers unconsciously on the way back. This was his habit.
"You seem to have a good relationship with Shen Shao?"
Gu Wan nodded, "I've always been an easy-going person."
Jiang Yue looked at her, "Gu Wan, do you have anything to say to me?" It was normal that he didn't know who it was because he was blind, but Gu Wan shouldn't treat him like this. It wasn't him who betrayed the agreement between them.
Gu Wan simply stopped and looked at him with a calm gaze.
"On Sister Jingjing's birthday, I went to the garden to look for her and heard those words. Jiang Yue, we are not the same kind of people. We never were, and we won't be in the future."
The author has something to say:
