Ji Yao’s originally relaxed expression instantly darkened. It had to be known that in the past, she was the only one in the class who had such treatment. However, ever since Gu Xiao came, the students in the class began to slowly distance themselves from her. Only a few people were still surrounding her.

Through the crowd, Gu Xiao raised an eyebrow at Ji Yao. When she saw that Ji Yao’s expression was getting uglier, she looked away in satisfaction.

She liked how Ji Yao’s expression clearly showed her anger yet she was unable to display her fury.

When the teacher arrived, the lively scene around Gu Xiao finally stopped.

“Two days after school starts, the school will carry out a test. Students, please be prepared and revise well.”

The students of No. 1 High School were already used to this kind of news. They were not afraid of it and were even eager to give it a try.

Ji Yao pretended to look in Gu Xiao’s direction casually, and a glint flashed across her eyes.

As a student of No. 1 High School, she naturally knew about this news. Therefore, during the winter break, she asked Li Wen to hire the best tutor for her. Gu Xiao did not have such treatment.

Neither Ji Gao nor Jiang He had ever thought of hiring a private tutor for Gu Xiao. Even if Gu Xiao had Chu An’s guidance, he definitely couldn’t compare to an outstanding private tutor!

This time, she would definitely win against Gu Xiao no matter what.

Ji Yao was very confident about this. She could even visualize how she would mock Gu Xiao after her score was lower than hers.

Although she did not know what Ji Yao was thinking, Gu Xiao sensed the other party’s malice.

After all, every time Ji Yao saw her, she would look smug, as if she couldn’t wait to see her make a fool of herself.

Gu Xiao just laughed it off.

The current Ji Yao was really not a big threat to her.

Amidst Ji Yao’s anticipation, the first test of the school term had finally arrived. This test was to check if the students had regressed during the summer break, so other than English, the other subjects would also be tested.

After the exam, with the teachers working overtime, the results were quickly released and posted. Ji Yao went off happily to look at Gu Xiao’s results and planned to laugh at her.

However, before she could get close, a cry of surprise came from not far away. “Xiaoxiao, you’re ranked in the top five in class this time! You’ve improved so quickly!”

Hearing this, Gu Xiao was overjoyed and quickened her pace.

“Really? Let me see.”

The surrounding students made way for Gu Xiao to enter.

Because of the student’s words, Gu Xiao did not look at her own results.

Instead, she looked at the rankings first.

As that classmate had said, her name was ranked fourth in the class.

One had to know that Gu Xiao was currently in the Improved Class, and the ranking of the Improved Class could be said to be the ranking of the entire grade.

Previously, Gu Xiao had been placed at around the tenth place or so. Unexpectedly, she had rushed into the top five this time.

“Xiaoxiao, congratulations! You’re amazing. How did you do it?”

“That’s right! That’s right! My results this time even dropped by dozens of points. Xiaoxiao, how did you improve so quickly!”

Congratulatory and envious voices kept coming from the surroundings. Gu Xiao smiled and glanced at Chu An before saying to her classmates, “I have a special instructor.”

Upon hearing Gu Xiao’s words, the students immediately recalled that Chu An would usually give Gu Xiao remedial lessons.

They looked upwards and saw that Chu An was still firmly in first place.

The few students looked at Chu An. When Chu An sensed their gazes, he immediately straightened his back and looked proud.

“It’s all Xiaoxiao’s own hard work. I can’t claim much of the credit,” Chu An said with a smile.

The students didn’t care if it was all due to Gu Xiao’s hard work or not. Even if it wasn’t, they didn’t dare to ask Chu An for extra lessons. If Chu An got impatient, him giving them a kick was already considered letting them off easy. Going with Chu An’s flow, they nodded before scattering.

Chu An winked at Gu Xiao as if asking for a reward.

Gu Xiao smiled at Chu An and showed no intention of rejecting him.

Chu An’s eyes immediately lit up when he saw this, and the things he wanted Gu Xiao to reward him with kept appearing in her mind..
