“Woah! I won the race!” An Xin shouted, parking her bicycle. She looked at the boy who wasing her way and added, “Now ording to rules, you have to buy me crayfish.”


    She was so excited.


    She won the race. And now, he would buy her crayfish.


    “I read at the bottom of my school diary that rules are meant to be broken,” Gu Shangyan mimicked her. His nk face while mimicking her face looked so funny. In the end, he uttered, “No crayfish.”


    An Xin’s eyes widened as she realized what he just announced. With her short legs, she ran after him, shouting his name.


    Gu Shangyan was running away from this clingy and crazy girl. There was no way he was going to buy crayfish for a cheater.


    “Gu Shangyan whoever goes back on his words get struck by lightning,” An Xin announced, her hands ced on her hips._.


    “An Xin! Where is your face?” Gu Shangyan asked, showing a disgusted look on his face.


    “Oh, I lost it in an icyke,” An Xin replied, flipping her braid.


    From the second floor window, Gu Yanzhi and An Qinyan were looking at the two children ying in the garden. They looked so happy and rxed. Gu Shangyan’s face paralysis was not visible today. Or it could be said that it wasn’t visible in the girl’s presence.


    “Look at them, “Gu Yanzhi said with a smile. Although he tried to make his nephew happy all the time, he still couldn’t help but wish that his nephew would smile and y with children his age more.


    It wasn’t that Gu Shangyan was cold and apathetic, it was just that he found the world too boring. He liked to see new and interesting things.


    “Aren’t they happy?” Gu Yanzi said with a smile on his face.


    “They are,” An Qinyan said as she stared at the carefree look on her daughter’s face. “I’m d she is friendly with Shangyan.”Turning to look at him, she added, “Isn’t it wonderful that Shangyan is friendly with someone?”


    “My nephew knows how to care for uncle’s interests,” Gu Yanzhi said smugly.


    Of course, Gu Yanzhi knew what his precious nephew was trying to do there.


    Gu Shangyan was creating more opportunities for his uncle to pursue An Qinyan. If he managed to befriend Xin, his uncle could win her heart too which would help his uncle to win her mother’s heart.


    “Aren’t you too smug?” An Qinyan narrowed her eyes on him.


    “He is my nephew and he is amazing,” Gu Yanzhi grinned.


    “She is my daughter and she is super amazing!” An Qinyan didn’t forget to show off her wonderful daughter.


    “I’m not denying it, “Gu Yanzhi said, leaning closer to her. “If you agree, I can make her my daughter too.”


    “You are shameless,” An Qinyan muttered and walked away.


    Gu Yanzhi sighed, clutching his heart in a dramatic way.


    ‘He has a long way to go…’

    It was another day at school and An Xin was attending her extra sses in the early morning once again.


    It was seven in the morning and she was sitting alone in the ss. The regr sses start at nine and from seven to nine,  she had to attend extra sses toplete her missed sybus. She was finding it hard to not yawn while the teacher was exining a maths sum.


    Her sleep went away when she heard the next words uttered by the teacher.


    “You have to appear for two monthly exams this month and so we can add your score to the final result.”


    “Two monthly exams?” An Xin asked with wide eyes. What on earth was happening? She loved studying. But exams? Why God? Why?


    “We are taking your extra sses of the sybus you missed in the previous month. After a month, you will take a test and your scores will be added to the final results, “Teacher Jin exined to her. “After that, you will have to take another monthly exam of what you were taught in your regr ss this month. Don’t worry, we will give you a week between the two monthly tests.”


    “Oh,” An Xin fell silent. How was she supposed to prepare for two monthly tests in a single month?


    She needed help. But who could help her?


    She didn’t understand a word of what her teachers were teaching her in ss except for English ss.


    “What if I fail in monthly exams?”An Xin asked.


    “This is Jingyuan high school, if a student fails three consecutive tests, he/she will be suspended, “Teacher Jin said with a straight face. “If you fail three consecutive tests, you will have to say bye to Jingyuan high school. And at this time, no other schools will ept a transfer student with three monthly test failures.”
