Chapter 1025: Provincial Top Scholar

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Principal Zhang could hardly contain his excitement. He had been trying to call this year’s top scorer, Gu Zi, but every time he dialed, the line was busy. After several unsuccessful attempts, he decided to abandon the effort. Yet, the joy bubbling inside him needed an outlet.

Without missing a beat, he dialed the principal of First Bilingual Primary School, Principal Guan.

“Old Guan! Long time no see! Let’s meet up! What’s that? Oh, so you’ve already heard that Gu Zi from our school is the provincial top scorer? Ha! It’s really nothing much.”

“Ah, drinking isn’t necessary,” Principal Zhang continued, waving off the suggestion even though no one could see him. “Tomorrow’s the celebration ceremony. The Education Daily is sending a reporter over for an exclusive interview. I have to host, of course—after all, Gu Zi is the provincial top scorer. It’s not a big deal, but as the principal, I have to take student affairs seriously. I need to make some preparations, so let’s meet another day.”

Hanging up, he still wasn’t satisfied. The elation inside him had yet to be fully unleashed. He flipped open his contact book and, one by one, dialed every number he could think of. As long as someone picked up, he wouldn’t waste time with pleasantries before slipping in, “Yes, yes, everyone knows now—our Renhe has produced the provincial top scorer! Hahaha, but really, it’s nothing, let’s stay low-key. We’re all seasoned veterans here.”

Finally, after exhausting his call list, he settled on dialing Principal Li of Guangwai Middle School, feigning innocence. “Oh, Old Li! I was just about to respond to the Education Bureau about tomorrow’s exclusive interview with our provincial top scorer, and then I thought—why not give you a call? You’ve heard, right? This year’s top scorer is from Renhe! Perfect timing, you should come to our school’s ceremony tomorrow.

“Speaking of which, Gu Zi used to be one of yours, didn’t she? Applied for withdrawal from Guangwai, and then—bam!—came to Renhe and became the top scorer. Old Li, I must thank you for the excellent nurturing! You know, I used to think Guangwai had amazing feng shui. But now, I’ve finally figured it out—feng shui is all about the right person in the right place. Clearly, Gu Zi was destined for Renhe! Hahaha…”

Meanwhile, Gu Zi’s homeroom teacher had received the news and was on a calling spree of his own. He even called his longtime nemesis, the senior-year homeroom teacher at Guangwai.

“Ah, Mr. Chen, congratulations! I heard the city’s top scorer is in your class. I’m so envious! Guangwai produces these top scorers year after year—unlike us. This time, we only managed to get a provincial top scorer, and guess what? She’s from my class.

“Yes, it’s Gu Zi. I heard she used to be your student? Well, good thing you didn’t take her back this year! She ended up in Renhe, and what a great decision that turned out to be, don’t you think? But hey, don’t feel too bad—at least you still have her sister, Lin Miao. I’m sure she’ll do well too. After all, Guangwai has an eye for talent!”

Su Shen recalled that both of his sons had their final exams today. Tomorrow, Gu Zi would be picking up her results. They had agreed earlier that Su Le would be sleeping over in Su Bing’s room tonight.

Could it be that Su Bing had been too busy looking after his little sister, leaving Su Li feeling neglected? Hmm, that seemed possible. Though the brothers had their own rooms, Su Li was notoriously clingy and often sneaked into Su Bing’s room to sleep together.

Just as Su Shen was about to coax Su Li to bed, the boy lifted his head and spoke with absolute seriousness. “Dad, I don’t want to be separated from Mom, so I absolutely won’t allow some young, handsome homewrecker to steal her away. You need to spend more time with Mom! Otherwise, if she divorces you, I’m not going with you.”

Su Shen was baffled. Young, handsome homewrecker? Divorce? What was this kid talking about? He reached out to feel Su Li’s forehead. “You don’t have a fever…”

Su Li swatted his father’s hand away and elaborated, “Tonight, some man kept calling our house—again and again! And Mom talked to him for almost an hour!”
