Chapter 780: Chapter 780: Teacher Mo Calls
Gu Xiyue’s lips twitched slightly, a trace of amusent coloring her gaze, but she didn’t expose Gu Zhiqi. Taking a book, she walked over and sat down beside her, then looked at Gu Zhiqi, “Do you mind if I sit here and read?”
Gu Zhiqi shook her head, “It’s your turf; do as you like.”
“Just don’t want to disturb you.”
Gu Zhiqi replied, “That won’t happen.”
Hearing this, Gu Xiyue’s lips curved into a slight smile, setting the book on the stone table, and looked at the paper book that Gu Zhiqi had placed there, a flicker of confusion crossing her eyes.
If she rembered correctly, when Gu Zhiqi moved into the courtyard, she seed not to have brought anything with her. Where did this book co from?
Though she felt curious, she didn’t ask. Instead, she opened the book she had placed on the table and began to read intently.
She had read less than half a page when her phone in her pocket rang.
Taking out her phone and glancing at the caller ID, Gu Xiyue’s eyes showed a trace of surprise. Why was she getting a call all of a sudden?
“Is sothing the matter?”
“There’s sothing I’d like to ask you,” ca the tily response from the other end as soon as Gu Xiyue posed her question.
Recognizing the voice, which rang a bit familiar, Gu Zhiqi, who was engrossed in reading, suddenly lifted her gaze to Gu Xiyue’s phone.
Gu Xiyue asked, “What’s up?”
“That, your foster mother in the countryside… what’s her na, Zhang sothing Li, I heard she died?” The caller was Mo Zeming.
Gu Xiyue heard this and slightly arched an eyebrow, casting a look at Gu Zhiqi.
The voice from Gu Xiyue’s phone was quite loud, and Gu Zhiqi heard it very clearly. Seeing Gu Xiyue looking at her, Gu Zhiqi looked back at Gu Xiyue, her deep and hazy eyes tinged with a hint of innocence.
eting Gu Zhiqi’s beautiful eyes, Gu Xiyue was montarily startled and found herself distracted.
“Xiao Yue student? Xiao Yue student? Are you listening to ?” Mo Zeming’s voice ca through the phone.
Gu Xiyue ca back to her senses, shifted her gaze away from Gu Zhiqi without making further eye contact, and humd softly in acknowledgnt, “Mm.”
With her eyes lowered slightly, a faint haze of bewildernt colored her eyes.
For so reason, the more she interacted with Gu Zhiqi, the more familiar the latter seed, as if they had t long ago.
“Mm? What does that an? Is your foster mother really dead?” Mo Zeming was confused by Gu Xiyue’s single hum and pressed on with the question.
“She’s dead,” Gu Xiyue responded coldly. After saying this, she added, “I’m currently selecting a burial plot for her as well.”
Mo Zeming: “…”
For so reason, after hearing Gu Xiyue’s answer, Mo Zeming beca even more skeptical.
“Did you call just to ask about this?” Seeing that Mo Zeming didn’t say anything more, Gu Xiyue asked again.
“There’s sothing, definitely sothing,” worried that Gu Xiyue might suddenly hang up, Mo Zeming hastily repeated twice that sothing was the matter.
Mo Zeming harbored doubts about Gu Zhiqi’s words, and as he happened to have sothing to discuss with Gu Xiyue, and considering Gu Zhiqi’s biological mother was Gu Xiyue’s forr foster mother, he casually inquired about it.
The main reason for calling Gu Xiyue was actually for another matter.
Gu Xiyue said, “Speak.”
“The physics competition school trials are closing for registration today; how co you haven’t signed up yet? Shall I sign you up directly?” Mo Zeming had called Gu Xiyue personally upon realizing that the registration deadline was near and had yet to see Gu Xiyue’s application.
It’s not that he liked to ddle, but as the leader of the physics group at Middle High School, he was in charge of the physics competition, and he also happened to know Gu Xiyue.
Other classes had already submitted their competition registration forms, but class 29 had no applicants.
No one from class 29 had registered in previous years, but this year was different; this year, class 29 had Gu Xiyue, the academic prodigy.
