My Mister Ostrich

Chapter 19

Xie Yi really was a shining star. He really put his all into it when he played. Eyes focused, posture natural and unrestrained, just like a professional athlete. The other kids crowded around his table to watch him play. Each time he made a good play, the crowd would burst out in applause. There were a lot of girls from other grades watching Xie Yi too, their heads bumping and whispering together.

Pang Qian was watching the crowd when Sun Mingfang asked her, “Crab, Xie Yi wants to get into First High. What about you? Which zhong high school are you going to go to?”

Under Gu Mingxi’s supervision, Pang Qian’s scores had become very stable in this second year. Each exam, she would rank in the top 20. From Origin of Flight’s graduation records, the fast class’ top 20 students all had reasonable chances to get into a zhong high school. So at this point, Pang Qian had already become an honor student in her class.

Even though she didn’t like chemistry and she thought it was hard, Gu Mingxi never went easy on her. He knew that Pang Qian was like a spinning top. She moves a little, and if you don’t make sure to watch her, she would become a dead crab.

Pang Qian looked at Xie Yi’s fit body not so far away from her and said quietly, “I also want to get into First High. Their entrance score isn’t that high, easier to get into than Guangcheng and Ninth High. It’s just a little far away.”

Sun Mingfang giggled and said, “You want to get into First High because of Xie Yi.”

“No… I thought about it based on my own abilities. If Xie Yi went to Guangcheng, would I also go there? Isn’t that just looking for my own doom?” Pang Qian did her best to defend herself. She wasn’t willing to admit her intentions towards Xie Yi.

Sun Mingfang smiled, then asked again, “Then what about Gu Mingxi? Is he going to Guangcheng or Ninth?”

Pang Qian stopped in astonishment.

That’s right, Gu Mingxi’s scores were really good. He always scored a bunch of points more than 2nd place. He would definitely get into one of the best high schools in E City, Guangcheng or Ninth High.

Pang Qian suddenly thought of her original intentions for wanting to get into a zhong high school. At the time, it was because her dad promised that if she could get in, they’d move to the new housing complex. Then she’d be able to stay neighbors with Gu Mingxi.

But if Gu Mingxi got into Guangcheng or Ninth High, and she went to a different school, wouldn’t they still be separated? If that were the case, then what was the point of her deal with her dad?

Pang Qian lowered her head, and said a bit dejectedly, “I don’t know what school Gu Mingxi’s going to go to. In any case, whatever school he gets into, I wouldn’t be able to get in.”

“Says who.”

A clear, teenage voice rang in her ears. Pang Qian suddenly lifted her head and saw Gu Mingxi standing not too far away.

He was wearing a navy blue track jacket. His brows were slightly crinkled, revealing an displeased expression.

Gu Mingxi had also grown a lot taller. He’d be considered tall compared to the other students in class. He had a pair of long legs and wide shoulders that completely filled out his track jacket. Only, the sleeves under the shoulder were empty, and they would sway slightly as he walked.

Gu Mingxi walked over to Pang Qian’s side, and leaned against the railing like she did. Pang Qian glanced at him, “Why did you come down?”

“I can’t come down? This is a free period.” Gu Mingxi had already lost his soft, little boy voice. His voice was rich and clear. It suited his gentle manner of speech and was very pleasant to listen to.
