Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 432 The Beginning of Everything 23

Chen Zhao, sprawled on the bed, waved his hand. "Don't try to comfort me. I know I look absolutely ridiculous right now."

As he spoke, Chen Zhao sat up, making a disgusted expression.

Gu Yao smiled and coughed lightly, "Actually, no, you're quite smart."

Hearing this, Chen Zhao sighed again, "Don't you feel guilty saying that? In our dorm, I'm the only noob. I thought I was pretty amazing to get into A University, and then I found out that you guys are all freaks."

Chen Zhao's gaze fell on the two of them, "One was admitted through a special program, and the other was admitted through a special program."

His gaze fell on the bathroom door, and he curled his lip. "Yu Ran was originally also admitted through a special program, but he insisted on being with me. By the time I found out, he had already given his spot to someone else."

At this point, Chen Zhao sighed softly, lowering his eyebrows as if he felt somewhat guilty. "Actually, my grades in my second year of high school weren't good enough to get into University A. I thought University S was pretty good too, and I could get in if I worked hard. But I knew that Yu Ran had given up his guaranteed admission spot, so I wanted to try my best."

Chen Zhao seemed lost in his own world, his wet hair hanging down his forehead, a fierce look in his eyes, "I'm not reconciled!"

“From childhood to adulthood, he has always been accommodating me and accompanied me through twelve years of schooling in an orderly manner. He was supposed to skip a grade and be admitted to university without taking the entrance exam, but I held him back.”

"He was so outstanding, I wanted to catch up with him just once, and luckily, I succeeded."

Chen Zhao shrugged, breathed a sigh of relief, and put on a forced, relaxed smile.

Gu Yao looked at it and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Chen Zhao spoke lightly, but he knew that Chen Zhao's score exceeded the admission score of University A by 20 points. From being able to reach the admission score of University S by a little effort to exceeding the admission score of University A by 20 points, the hardship involved was unimaginable.

Gu Yao was admitted to A University through direct admission in both of his lives, but he also knew how difficult that was.

Chen Zhao is an ordinary person.

He is an ordinary person who fought his way up from among millions of ordinary students.

Like countless other students, they build a narrow bridge to prestigious universities through countless nights of studying late into the night.

He truly admired people like that.

Perhaps thanks to his parents, Gu Yao has an extremely high IQ, but people like him are ultimately a minority; most are like Chen Zhao.

Follow the path of an ordinary person step by step, and through daily efforts, take one step at a time towards the summit.

Very few people can actually take the cable car up the mountain.

In their dormitory, three out of the four people were like that.

It's easy to imagine how much pressure Chen Zhao was under.

Gu Yao sighed softly and gently patted Chen Zhao's shoulder. "But you're twenty points above the admission score for University A. Have some confidence in yourself, okay? I might not even get such a score if I took the exam."

Cen Yubai nodded and adjusted his glasses. "The college entrance examination requires well-rounded development to get high scores. I'm not good at that. I'm too unbalanced in my subjects."

He shrugged, looking serious.

Chen Zhao looked at the two of them and burst out laughing.

He waved his hand, looking relieved. "Why are you all so serious? Everyone in my dorm is a genius, can't I even be a little emo? But I'm no worse than you guys. If I ever achieve great success, you're all welcome to work for me."

The boy's brows were radiant with anticipation for the future.

Gu Yao nodded, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Chen Zhao, "Alright, then thank you very much, Boss Chen. In the future, when you rise to prominence, please take care of me."

Chen Zhao seemed a little smug, raising his hand to press down Gu Yao's hand, "No problem, no problem, don't forget me when you become rich and powerful."

It was as if he had truly achieved great success at that moment.

Cen Yubai silently glanced away, unable to bear to look.

Even if all the people in their dorm worked together for several lifetimes, they still couldn't compare to the Xie family.

One dares to speak, and the other dares to believe.

He sighed softly.

---

After a month of military training, Xie Gui finally received the child he had been longing for.

Looking at Gu Yao, who stood out like a gleaming white coal in the twilight, he rolled down the car window.

“A-Yao, here.”

Gu Yao was about to send Xie Gui a message when he heard a familiar voice. He looked up and saw Xie Gui waving at him.

He strode forward and got into the passenger seat.

Xie Gui drove while keeping an eye on the boy he hadn't seen for a month.

He seems a bit darker and more robust.

Gu Yao wiped the sweat from his face with a wet wipe and looked up when he felt Xie Gui's gaze.

"what happened?"

The boy's forehead was sweaty, his hair slightly damp, and his light-colored eyes were wide open, round and bright, making him look more like a cat.

Xie Gui suddenly felt a bit itchy to touch his hands.

But reason told him he couldn't do that.

The knuckles of his fingers gripping the steering wheel were turning white.

He looked straight ahead. "Nothing, where would you like to eat?"

Gu Yao was puzzled by the sudden change in topic. After pausing for a couple of seconds, she thought for a moment and said, "Let's go home and have hot pot, okay?"

Xie Gui nodded, but said nothing more.

For a moment, Gu Yao was speechless, his words stuck in his throat.

Gu Yao stared at Xie Gui for a long time, but didn't get a single word from him, which made him a little angry.

Have we run out of things to say after not seeing each other for a month?

If you won't talk to me, then I won't talk to you either.

Gu Yao swallowed back the interesting things that had happened at school during this period.

A person looks out the window at the scenery rushing by.

The capital city was bustling with activity, and the streets were filled with traffic, but Gu Yao had no heart to appreciate it.

He felt that Xie Gui had spoiled him a bit.

It's just that I've been treated a little coldly, so I wanted to throw a little tantrum.

Gu Yao's temper flared up quickly and subsided just as fast, and it wasn't really a big deal to begin with.

After sulking by himself for a while, he calmed himself down and turned to look at Xie Gui, only to see Xie Gui looking at him with a nervous expression.

The car was already parked in the underground garage, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

Gu Yao choked on his words, unsure of where to begin.

Instead, Xie Gui spoke first, "A Yao, are you angry?"

The lighting in the underground parking garage was really not good, even somewhat dim, but there was a beam of light that shone on Xie Gui's face, making his indifferent silver-gray eyes shine brightly and add a touch of warmth.

Those beautiful eyes were fixed on you.

That kind of focus.

That kind of tension.

It's as if you're the only person in my heart and eyes.

They cherished you dearly and held you dear in their hearts.

You can step on his head and act wildly, or pull his hair, or tug at his collar as you please.

He'll just smile and let you do whatever you want.

And Xie Gui has been doing this all these years.

Gu Yao was placed in the most important position.

Seeing that Gu Yao hadn't spoken for so long, Xie Gui became worried. He unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned forward, and reached out to touch Gu Yao's forehead.

In that instant, looking into those worried eyes, Gu Yao suddenly had a brain fart.

He completely forgot about the concepts of taking things slowly, gradual progress, and any kind of plan.

He had only one idea.

He wanted to kiss Xie Gui.

Very much.

Right now.

Very urgent.

He reached out and hooked Xie Gui's outstretched neck, pulling half of his body towards him.

Before anyone could react, she lifted herself up and kissed him.
