“Did you see that? Our provincial top scorer is such a beauty! Oh my god, she’s not only talented but stunning, she’s practically perfect!”

“I didn’t even get a good look—everything happened so quickly with the principal and staff. Wait, so she’s actually transferred here from Guangwai? How on earth did they let such an outstanding student go? That banner’s a bit much, don’t you think? Aren’t they worried the folks from Guangwai will come storming over?”

“Who cares? Anyway, the provincial top scorer is now at our school, for free! We should thank Guangwai for letting her go.”

As Gu Zi entered the school, the attention shifted from the entrance to the campus interior. Her classmates, clearly excited, swaggered down the hall, chatting animatedly.

“I’ve got to hurry back to class and shake hands with our provincial top scorer. You all stay behind, you won’t get in anyway. She’s from our class.”

“Yeah, but we can ask her for a few autographs to give you. Hurry up, move aside—we need to get to class!”

Their class had produced a provincial top scorer—what an honor! They would be boasting about this for years.

When they arrived at the classroom, a small banner hung over the door, proclaiming, “Welcome our provincial top scorer, Gu Zi!”

The class teacher, freshly dressed in a suit, with polished shoes gleaming brightly, was chatting with Gu Zi. His face was beaming with excitement, his eyes practically crinkling with joy.

“Gu Zi, no, wait, I mean, Provincial Top Scorer Gu! Why don’t you take a moment to meet your classmates? Since you’re in the same class, let them enjoy the privilege first. Later, you’ll be on stage for a speech, and we’ve arranged interviews too. The stage was set up last night, and the principal has some surprises in store for you.”

Gu Zi sighed inwardly, realizing the day’s schedule wasn’t going to be simple. She glanced over at Su Shen, who had been accompanying her. The kids had already gone off to play, leaving only him by her side. She looked to him, silently asking for his opinion. Su Shen, ever understanding, smiled gently.

“Don’t worry, if it runs late, we’ll head home later. I’m with you.”

Meanwhile, outside the school, Gong Zhan’s car had just arrived. He had received a call from Gong Xin, who had been chattering excitedly but hadn’t been very clear. She simply told him to come to Renhe Middle School. Not thinking much of it, he left his companions behind and drove over.

But the moment he arrived, he was struck by the overwhelming crowd. How was he supposed to find Gong Xin in all of this? He hadn’t noticed the festive atmosphere, the dragon and lion dancers performing at the school gate. It struck him as excessive—why would they have a performance for students checking their exam results?

However, it did draw his attention to Renhe, and then he noticed the reporters with cameras, all pointing their lenses upward, toward a large banner. His eyes locked on the words, and the world seemed to pause around him. The noise faded as the banner’s message became magnified in his mind.

“Congratulations to our Renhe student who transferred from Guangwai, Gu Zi, for winning the Provincial Top Scholar award!”

He opened his mouth but couldn’t make a sound. Stunned, he stood frozen. Gu Zi was the provincial top scorer?!

Just then, Gong Xin appeared, tugging on his arm excitedly. “You made it! You saw it, right? Isn’t it amazing? I was speechless when I saw the banner! Gu Zi is the provincial top scorer, with a total of 688 points—she’s incredible! Every year, many from our compound get into university, but only Gu Zi could earn this honor.”

Gong Xin was practically bursting with excitement. Finally, her brother had arrived, and she had so much to share. She couldn’t wait to tell him how amazed she had been by Gu Zi’s performance. She was no longer worried about Gu Zi not beating Lin Miao, now that she knew just how extraordinary Gu Zi was.

As she looked at her brother’s stunned face, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Despite being his younger sister, she relished in the fact that he would now see just what a brilliant gem he had lost in Gu Zi, especially in exchange for Lin Miao, whom she couldn’t help but regard as a complete fool.
