"What a mess, how did you only manage to get fourth in your class at your age."
Gu Mujin was dragged by his father from the classroom door to the end of the corridor, the crisp sound of a slap echoing throughout the hallway.
"If you don't come in first next time, don't let me arrange a parent-teacher meeting for you. I can't afford to lose face."
As a volunteer for the parent-teacher meeting, I arrange for all the parents to sign in. Gu Mujin's father may seem easygoing on the surface, but his eyes are always full of disdain, whether it's towards the students or the teachers.
After the parent-teacher meeting started, we volunteers took a walk and chatted on the playground. Everyone gathered to play games, only Gu Mujin sat on the edge of the playground looking lost.
The setting sun reddened his face, and I also stared at him, lost in thought.
【Is something the matter?】
He caught me peeking at him.
"It's okay, I didn't see you," I said.
I felt embarrassed and was about to leave, but then he suddenly spoke: "Can you sit with me for a while?"
I feel a little relieved in my heart, slowly moving closer to him, yet always keeping a distance from him. I never dare to cross the distance between us.
I take the lead and speak: "How did the exam go this time?"
【Not good.】
【Didn't you make it to the top five?】
"But my dad always thinks I'm embarrassing. As long as I don't come first in the exam, I'm losing face for him."
"No way, if I came fourth in my year, my parents would be thrilled to death."
"Do you think I'm excellent?"
"Of course, isn't it all written in the love letters? Haha."
I voluntarily revealed my scars just to ease Gu Mujin, it turns out that when you like someone to a certain extent, you will become proactive.
[Thank you, I read the letter you wrote.]
"How did you do on the exam this time?"
"I improved by 100 ranks and made it into the top 300."
"It's too bad. Only the top 100 students in our school have a chance to get into the 985 Project universities."
"I never said I wanted to go to a 985 Project university."
"Do you not want to go to a better school?"
"Who wouldn't want to, but I feel like I can't get into the top 100. Even if I do, I won't be able to get into the 985."
"You're just not confident enough."
"Is that so? Maybe, I'm just an ordinary person, resigned to my fate."
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
Gu Mujin This sudden sentence scared me so much that I couldn't breathe, and I choked on my own saliva, coughing uncontrollably.
"What did you say?!"
"Next time, if you can get into the top 100, be my girlfriend. You said you like me, right? Just try your best for me."
"Who likes you? Don't talk nonsense!"
"That's settled then. Study hard, I believe you can do it."
Gu Mujin said and left, leaving me feeling embarrassed by his few words.
I couldn't sleep for two whole nights, unable to understand why Gu Mujin would do this, but his words became a crack in my ordinary life, shining a light into my life and giving me new hope.
Perhaps I can really become better, perhaps I can also deserve a better future.
To enter the top 100 before the end of the year, I must improve my math scores. If I can improve my math score by 50 points in the next monthly exam, I should be able to make it to the top 100.
Just do it!
My math foundation is very poor. I rely on guessing for small problems, and for big problems, I hardly know how to do them. I can only look at the answers and understand the steps repeatedly. If I really can't do it, I have to go to the teacher's office to ask for help. But the office of the senior three teachers is always crowded, and two out of three times I can't get in.
"I will teach you math, see you in the self-study room after school."
The familiar handwriting on the note let me know at a glance that it was from Gu Mujin.
I laughed happily, and my laughter also caught Su's attention.
