"Anyone who gives such an ugly flower must have poor taste too..."
Lu Xingzhe hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Didn’t you hear the bell?"
No one knew when Teacher Mo showed up in the hallway outside the window.
Seeing Lu Xingzhe with a backpack, Teacher Mo snorted softly and continued, "It’s already bad enough you’re late, and now you’re disrupting other students." Thinking of Lu Xingzhe’s grades, Teacher Mo added, "Your grades are good, but others..."
After glancing at Gu Zhiqi and Qiao Qingshu, Teacher Mo paused for two seconds and continued, "Others have even better grades, you need to study hard to catch up."
When Teacher Mo appeared, Lu Xingzhe had already begun slowly moving toward his seat. After Teacher Mo finished speaking, he quickened his pace, not forgetting to say, "I’ll study hard and work on catching up."
Teacher Mo listened and snorted softly.
Study hard? More like seriously nap.
After taking his eyes off Lu Xingzhe, Teacher Mo glanced at Gu Zhiqi, "Gu Zhiqi, you’re back?"
Gu Zhiqi looked up and nodded at Teacher Mo.
"Co out with , the teacher needs to talk to you."
Then, Teacher Mo took Gu Zhiqi to the principal’s office.
Principal Gu Chongming talked to her first, implying that Luo Wu had been dismissed and assuring her that nothing like that would happen again, hinting that she shouldn’t transfer schools.
Gu Zhiqi agreed to all of it.
Gu Chongming and Teacher Mo had a lot to say, and by the ti Gu Zhiqi left the principal’s office, the bell had rung, signaling the end of morning self-study.

As soon as the morning reading ended, Qiao Qingshu took out the Flowing Jade Cold Lotus again, fiddling with it, unable to hide the joy in her eyes.
"Who exactly gave this flower?" Suddenly, a voice sounded by her ear.
Qiao Qingshu turned her eyes and saw Lu Xingzhe standing behind her, slightly tilting his head as he stared at the flower in front of her.
Qiao Qingshu ignored him, withdrew her gaze, and continued fiddling with the flower.
"Ugly." Lu Xingzhe comnted, then continued, "Anyone who sends such an ugly flower probably isn’t much to look at either."
"They must have bad taste too, otherwise why send such an ugly flower."
Seeing that Qiao Qingshu still ignored him, Lu Xingzhe moved closer and continued to ask, "Hey, who exactly sent this?"
Just as he finished asking, a lazy indifferent voice sounded by his ear, "I sent it."
Lu Xingzhe heard the voice, froze slightly, then turned slowly to look at Gu Zhiqi, "You... sure?"
Gu Zhiqi raised an eyebrow, looking back at him with a slightly mischievous expression.
Lu Xingzhe recognized this look—it’s the kind that wants to beat soone up.
"Ahem." Lu Xingzhe cleared his throat awkwardly and turned to look at the flower, "I an, it’s... beautiful."
"Beautiful, yeah, very pretty..."
Looking at the absolutely ghastly Cold Lotus, Lu Xingzhe couldn’t praise it any longer and finally decided to admit defeat, "Brother Qi, I was wrong."
After speaking, without waiting for Gu Zhiqi to respond, Lu Xingzhe threw out a sentence, "Class is about to start."
Then, he quickly retreated.
Despite several class breaks, he didn’t co to find Gu Zhiqi again until lunchti. As soon as class ended, Lu Xingzhe headed straight to Gu Zhiqi’s desk.
At that ti, Gu Zhiqi was working on practice questions.
These were given to her by Teacher Mo.
They were past chemistry competition questions prepared by the chemistry group. Teacher Mo said that other participants had already done them and asked her to go through them too.
He also ntioned that this coming weekend was the day of the chemistry competition and urged her to prepare well.
Constantly repairing the ntal thod was indeed quite draining, so Gu Zhiqi planned to relax with so practice questions today.
