My Mister Ostrich

Chapter 69.1

Moreover, Gu Guoxiang was going to have another child soon. Li Han was a kindhearted person. Children were always innocent in these affairs. Gu Guoxiang hadn’t really treated Gu Mingxi poorly. She didn’t have to cause any distress to that unborn child’s home.

So, she accepted Gu Guoxiang’s terms.

Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian, who’d finished the college entrance exam, were very relaxed. Especially Pang Qian. After she estimated her scores, she couldn’t believe it. She grabbed Gu Mingxi and shouted out, “Gu Mingxi, Gu Mingxi, I think I did really well!”

Seeing her so happy, Gu Mingxi was also happy. He asked her what her estimated score was, and Pang Qian grew embarrassed. She shook her head rapidly. “Not telling you. I probably remembered some of my answers wrong. How could I score that high. Aiya, we’ll know when the results are out.”

Gu Mingxi didn’t ask her again. After all, the scores you estimate yourself aren’t entirely accurate. They could only choose their schools when the results came out anyway, so he wasn’t in a rush.

While they waited for their results to come out, Gu Mingxi brought Pang Qian over to Shark’s place to play. Because of [censored; SARS outbreak?], the barbecue place didn’t have much business for several months. Clam and Oyster went to work at a nearby small factory, and Shark just took the time to rest at home.

That evening, Clam and Oyster returned from work. They were still living with Shark. When they saw Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian, they were both very happy. All of them had dinner together. Shark asked Gu Mingxi what university he intended to go to.

Gu Mingxi was silent. After his father spoke to him a few months prior, he and his mother discussed things a bit and then told Teacher Dai about it. Teacher Dai also thought it was problematic. She had Gu Mingxi give her a list of schools he was interested in, and she would contact their recruiters.

Looking at scores and honors, Gu Mingxi was undoubtedly a good student. But after finding out about his disability, many schools replied that they’d have to wait for the exam results to come out before making any decisions.

So at this time, Gu Mingxi was a bit scared.

When he and Pang Qian left Shark’s place, Gu Mingxi said, “Pang Pang, let’s go for a walk before we head home, okay?”

Pang Qian nodded. The two of them walked along the street leisurely, and Pang Qian chattered about her friends’ plans. “Zheng Qiaoqiao decided to pick E University for foreign language. Her score should be enough. Sun Mingfang called me and said she did okay on the exam, and she should be able to get into a tier-2 school. But she doesn’t want to go far away, so she’ll probably just choose a better tier-3 school here. A few days ago, I went shopping with Wang Tingting, and she didn’t test well. She’ll probably only be able to get an associate’s degree, but she’s not going to try the test again. Sun Mingfang said that Hu Tianli didn’t do well, and if his score isn’t enough to get into a tier-3, he’ll take the exam again next year. And there’s also Zhang Wei…”

Gu Mingxi smiled as he listened to her, without interrupting. Pang Qian suddenly stopped talking. She turned her head up to look at the early summer sky. She let out a long sigh and said, “Ah… Finally free.”

She turned her head and smiled at Gu Mingxi. She said, “Gu Mingxi, in two more months, we’ll be able to go to Shanghai together.”

Gu Mingxi asked, “Did you decided which school you’ll choose?”

“Yeah.”

“Which one?”

Pang Qian stuck out her tongue, and then said, “When all the results come out, I’ll tell you.”
