C92 (1/2)

On the day of the announcement, the capital was bustling with activity. There were those who had lost their souls on the leaderboard, those who had been lucky enough to go to high school, cheering and jumping about, and those who were happy with what they had to do.

Hu Xueyong squeezed through the crowd for a long time before finally reaching the front of the ranking board. He was pushed around by the crowd, and only occasionally looked at the names on the list, he had no choice but to squint his eyes, and after looking at his own name for a long time, his heart sank a little.

His living condition was much better than before, but he did not know Gu Yun's true identity. He thought that when he became successful in the future, he would definitely repay for saving his life, and there would also be that old man who took him in, the one whose mother was his student. However, if he did not have a name on the list, he did not know if he could wait another three years, so could it be that his fate was to return home and continue being a teacher?

Hu Xueyong had been feeling apprehensive the entire time, but still did not give up. After the people in front had mostly left, he moved closer to take a closer look, and finally saw his own name outside of the top twenty, he did not know if he was happy or worried, but he did not fail the examination, so participating in the Hall Competition could be said to be a loss to him. To be able to enter the top three was fine, but it was still a little far from what he was hoping for.

Hu Xueyong did not know where to go, and returned to the small courtyard in a daze. He suddenly saw Gu Yun waiting for him in the courtyard.

”Hu Xueyong, why don't you remember me?”

The moment Gu Yun said that, Hu Xueyong recognized his voice. When this person's voice appeared in his down and out, he would not easily forget about it.

”It's Benefactor.”

Seeing his disappointed look, Gu Yun raised his eyebrows, ”The sky isn't falling yet, why are you so troubled? Come and tell me, how did you answer the paper?”

Hu Xueyong didn't know what he was planning to do, but he wrote his answer scroll again in silence, as he read it while writing it. halfway through, Gu Yun already knew that this person's chest was filled with holes.

Hu Xueyong looked humble and unassuming, but he was very confident when writing his essay. Not everyone would be able to have such determination after writing a piece that weighed a thousand pounds, and looking at the content of the article he wrote, it seemed like he had his own thoughts, such a essay should not be ranked at this level.

Gu Yun didn't say anything until he had finished writing. Only then did Gu Yun ask: ”Are you satisfied in your heart?”

Hu Xueyong did not dare to look into Gu Yun's eyes. He was not willing to accept this in his heart, but he felt that a person who studied should not be overly restrained by matters of fame and benefits.

Gu Yun laughed, ”Then I'll just ask another question. If I can give you another chance, are you willing to fight for it?”

Hu Xueyong suddenly raised his head, although he knew that what he said was true, he still nodded his head without hesitation. Nothing was better than going back home with a head full of dirt, as long as he had the chance, he would definitely fight for it.

Gu Yun smiled and nodded, ”Then alright, don't be in such a rush to return first, this result is enough for you, if you trust me, wait for me for a few days, it's not easy to study in the Humble Class, but if you endure for another three years, it'll be very cruel, I'll do my best to give you a good plan.”

Hu Xueyong's grateful heart was expressed clearly, no matter what, this person gave him a glimmer of hope, and if he was asked to do some work on his account, it would be better than being blind.

”Benefactor, please accept my respect …”

”Ai, don't be in such a hurry to kneel.” Gu Yun quickly helped him up, ”A gentleman's knees are full of gold, kneeling too much is worthless, only people who kneel later on will be worthy of that.”

Gu Yun came out from the small courtyard, and after taking a few turns, he returned to Marquis Mansion. He came back early today, and Xie Jingxi was still busy learning to cook in the kitchen.

Every time, she would ask Ming Yu to prepare a few dishes for her later. If she met someone she couldn't eat, they would immediately change them, and the stomach of Gu Yun would thus take on a lot of unknown risks. Every day, he would eat a very challenging dinner, so he felt that it was necessary to end this hobby of his wife's.

Some things had to be done unconditionally, some things had to be taken care of, and he had so easily managed to get dinner with her every day, hoping to do some physical exercise after dinner, just in case he got sick from eating too much.

signaled her not to speak. Ming Yu covered her mouth and coordinated very well with her. She blinked at Gu Yun worriedly and prayed in her heart, ”Young Master, please take this girl away!”

From the moment Xie Jingxi entered the kitchen from time to time, Ming Yu had almost been deprived of even the most basic function of cooking. She felt that it was extremely inappropriate to wander around the palace doing nothing every day, even Young Master did not ask her what she did every day. Those who did not elope circled around her as well, afraid that her private life would be spread out by this chatty girl. Ming Yu had never felt such panic before, she felt that this girl definitely did not love her.

When Xie Jingxi cooked, she liked to play with herself, so she did not let Ming Yu follow him too much. She never expected Ming Yu to have such a rich imagination, but Gu Yun understood, and smiled at Ming Yu before entering the kitchen. Since he rarely thought of the same thing as Ming Yu, he decided to satisfy her.
