After Gu Man washed up, she looked at the phone she had tossed on the bed and felt a headache. She placed the phone on the bedside table beside and crawled under the blanket. She covered her head with the blanket and fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, it was already morning.

She glanced at her cell phone. There was a message from Zhuang Yan.

“Your brother can come for the exams soon. He can enter the school the next semester. As for you, start getting prepared. It’s almost time for the exams. Although 1 believe in your standards, you must remember to be steady.”

Gu Man looked at the time and realized that the college entrance examination was approaching. She put down her phone and casually tidied up. She mentioned this at the breakfast table.

Huang Jue, who was busy eating, instantly became excited. Even Huang Jun could not control the expression on his face. He did not look like an adult at all.

“Really, Manman, is this done?”

…..
Gu Man nodded, picked up a dish on the table, and stuffed it into her mouth.

“By the way, keep an eye on his homework. There’s only one exam. Even if I fought for a spot for him, it still depends on himself.”

Huang Jun’s expression turned serious. He had already decided to quit the temporary job he had recently found. He had to settle Huang Jue’s academic problems. Otherwise, he would never be able to relax.

When Huang Jue heard this, he immediately had a bitter expression and could not help but complain.

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my academic level. Besides, didn’t you say last time that there’s no problem with me taking the exam?”

“It’s better to be safe than sorry. You should prepare more now. Oh right, if you have any questions you don’t know, you can ask me.”

Huang Jue’s expression immediately turned ugly. He sized Gu Man up and couldn’t bear to hurt her.

This was because, in Huang Jue’s mind, Gu Man’s grades were at the bottom. Moreover, she had to deal with more things in Han City. He did not believe that Gu Man still had the mood to focus on her studies. Previously, he had just not asked, but when he heard that Gu Man wanted to tutor him with his homework, Huang Jue rejected her without thinking.

“Sister, I’ve already troubled you enough. How can 1 trouble you with this kind of thing? I’ll just look for Brother Xiang.”

When Xiang Yin’s name was mentioned, the atmosphere at the table immediately quietened down. Huang Jue knew that he had said something wrong and mentioned someone he shouldn’t have. He quickly covered his mouth and lowered his head, but he still didn’t take Gu Man’s words seriously.

How could Gu Man not hear the distrust in Huang Jue’s words? She raised her eyebrows slightly. Was she a poor student in Huang Jue’s eyes?

Thinking that she had been busy recently and had not taken the initiative to contact Xiang Yin, Gu Man said, “Then see if he’s upstairs.”

Although Xiang Yin was staying in the room upstairs, he did not seem to be here often. When she thought of his identity, everything made sense.

“Sister, you’re so close to Brother Xiang. Can’t you help me contact him?”

Huang Jue tried his best to ignore the two sharp gazes from behind him. He only wanted to study now and could not care about anything else.

Gu Man touched her nose. “Isn’t he upstairs? If you have any questions, you can ask him or me. I’m going to school.”

After saying this, Gu Man did not give Huang Jue a chance to react. She picked up her bag and walked out.

Huang Jue looked at her back with a reluctant expression. He wanted to say more, but his collar was pulled back by Huang Jun.

He looked in the direction of the door with tears in his eyes. He really wanted to leave with Gu Man.

Unfortunately, he would not have this chance. After Huang Jun pressed Huang Jue down on the chair, he pointed at him solemnly. “Try not to mention Xiang Yin’s name in front of Gu Man in the future.”

Huang Jun was happy to see Gu Man dodge. This girl did not look like she was dating Xiang Yin. He was relieved.

“Dad, you can’t do this. This has something to do with my studies. Brother Xiang is the top scorer of the college entrance examination. With him tutoring me, it won’t be a problem for me to get into Han City First High School. It’s not like you don’t know Sister’s results. Won’t you all be worried if she tutors me?”

When Huang Jun heard this, he slapped Huang Jue on the head. “You’re not allowed to say this in front of your sister. She’s at the critical moment of the college entrance examination and can’t stand these aggrieving words..”
