Chapter 1123: Shen Ran, the Poor Student
Editor:Â Henyee Translations
Shen Ranâs words were unanimously agreed by Feng Jue and the others.
Even someone as quiet as Gu Jin nodded. âItâs quite fun.â
Shen Ran smiled and said, âYou guys are pretty good at playing. And Gu Jin, youâre the best girl Iâve ever seen in gamingâyouâre amazing! I just donât know whoâs better. Letâs compete at the internet cafĂ© another day.â
âInternet cafĂ©?â
Shen Ran opened a whole new world for Gu Jin and the others.
âThatâs right! Internet cafĂ©s are filled with computers. This game is way more fun on computers! My family used to have computers, but the fire destroyed them.â
At that moment, Gu Yang appeared beside them with her hands behind her back and asked calmly, âWhat are you guys doing?â
It was Gu Yingâs turn to play, and when he heard her voice, his hand trembled, causing the game character to die.
Everyone felt a twinge of guilt for being caught skipping class and playing games.
Gu Yang fixed them with a serious expression and asked, âWhy did you skip class?â
Gu Jin felt it was important to maintain her dignity as an older sister in front of her younger sister. She raised her chin and declared, âIâm done learning.â
Feng Jue chimed in obediently, âSister, Iâm done learning too. I want to learn something different.â
Gu Yang recognized that both of them were geniuses and saw no need to waste time on those classes, so she waved her hand, signaling them to move aside.
Turning her attention to Gu Ying and Cao Cuo, she asked, âWhat about you guys?â
Cao Cuo replied, âIâm done learning.â
Gu Ying added, âMe too. Iâve finished my homework.â
Alright, while these two may not be as exceptional as the first two, they were still top studentsâCao Cuo was naturally talented, and Gu Ying was incredibly hardworking.
Finally, Gu Yang turned to Shen Ran and smiled. âYouâre done learning too, right?â
Shen Ran shook his head. âNo.â
Gu Yangâs smile widened. âThen go copy the book.â
Shen Ran pointed to a group in the corner. âWhat about them?â
Feng Jue, Gu Jin, Cao Cuo, and Gu Ying all looked up at the sky, seemingly mesmerized. Ah, the sky was so blue.
Gu Yang pressed, âAre you done learning?â
Shen Ran fell silent.
Gu Yang said, âThen why arenât you going? Youâre not allowed to play with your phone until you finish copying a hundred ancient poems. You still dare to skip class before youâre done learning.â
Shen Ran felt like crying.
They had all agreed to skip class together, but in the end, he was the only one facing punishment. He had thought everyone was progressing at the same pace, but it turned out they were all top students while he was the only one lagging behind.
Suddenly, Shen Ran felt a spark of motivation to learn.
From that day on, Feng Jue and Gu Jin seemed addicted to gaming and were eager to visit the internet café.
Gu Yang understood that she couldnât be too strict with them, so she planned a trip to the internet cafĂ© in the nearby city, where security was better.
The mention of the internet cafĂ© ignited Shen Ranâs enthusiasm. He eagerly recommended it to Gu Yang and offered to lead the way.
Although Shen Ran struggled academically, he was exceptionally talented in gaming. He often boasted that his father had initially planned to send him to an eSports club to pursue a career in competitive gaming.
During this period of time in the orphanage, he was defeated by Gu Yangâs group of top students.
Now that he had arrived at the internet cafe, it was finally his turn.
However, what Shen Ran had imaginedâeveryone playing games togetherâdidnât happen.
Gu Yang did take them to the internet café, but in the end, she was teaching them how to program.
Shen Ran was dumbfounded. âWhat is this?â
Gu Ying and Cao Cuo felt a bit dizzy as well.
On the other hand, Gu Jin and Feng Jue were engrossed in the game, but suddenly they found the game less appealing.
Gu Yang smiled and said, âDidnât you want to learn something different? Iâll start with C programming.â
Gu Jin and Feng Jue quickly pulled up stools and sat on either side of Gu Yang.
Seeing their seriousness, Gu Ying and Cao Cuo listened attentively to Gu Yangâs lecture.
Gu Yang started from the basics, which the others accepted well.
Only Shen Ran was left confused. âWhatâs going on?â
When he noticed the other four were following along, he felt even more bewildered. âWait, you all understand this?â
Gu Jin, fascinated, ignored Shen Ran and asked Gu Yang, âAnd then?â
Feng Jue glanced over and nodded at Shen Ran, as if to reassure him.
Although Gu Ying and Cao Cuo were a little lost, they didnât want to admit it since the others seemed to grasp the material.
Cao Cuoâs autism had been cured, but Shen Ran struggled a bit with social cues.
