Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 80: A Sliver of Hope

Their classrooms were in different buildings, so they separated when they got to the fork of the road.

Luo Wenlang looked at Gu Xiqiao whose skin looked like ivory under the bright sunshine, before asking, “Which university are you going to apply for?”

“A University, probably,” Gu Xiqiao replied, telling someone else about her plans for the first time. “Apparently A University and B University are just one street away from each other, and since Xiao Yun is applying for B University we would be able to visit each other too.”

“I see.” Luo Wenlang nodded, before looking away as he saw Wu Hongwen that was jogging over in their direction. “Well I’ve got to go, bye.”

Gu Xiqiao looked as he walked away.

[This boy is always so busy.] The system spirit shook its head. [According to my calculations, something bad’s going to happen to him.]

“I don’t think so.” Gu Xiqiao rubbed her chin thoughtfully as she looked over at Luo Wenlang. “When I looked at him just now, he was filled with living energy and he didn’t have any shadows over him. How would anything bad happen to him?”

[If not him, then someone close to him!] The system spirit furrowed its brow as it reconsidered its first divination.

“Even if that’s the case, they will be able to deal with it without any repercussions.” Gu Xiqiao wasn’t all that hung up over this topic, and the moment Xiao Yun and Wu Hongwen came, they talked for a while before separating to their respective classrooms.

Xiao Yun looked over at Gu Xiqiao and asked, “Old Ban is definitely going to ask us about the universities we’re going to be applying for…Have you decided?”

“You won’t be disappointed.” Gu Xiqiao smiled and patted her shoulders, before pushing open the door of the classroom.

“Surprise!”

With a loud pop, confetti sprayed out from either side of the door courtesy of the two boys with bright smiles with party poppers in their hands. Everyone in class huddled around them and looked at her, while Old Ban stood there at the podium with a rare warm smile as he watched the merry scene.

Gu Xiqiao swiped a bunch of glittery pieces of confetti off of her head as she looked at everyone, not knowing whether she should laugh.

She looked over to Xiao Yun and saw a soft smile on her face, and she channeled her chi ever so slightly to get the pieces of confetti to drop off of her subtly as she sighed.

Well, as long as they were having fun.

After all the ruckus, Old Ban sat them all down before looking at everyone with a satisfied expression. “I’m glad that everyone is here! To all my students in Eleventh Parallel Class of the Fifty-Sixth Session, I am proud of all of you!”

After he exclaimed as such, everyone in the classroom applauded thunderously.

“Your achievements have surprised everyone, even the board of directors of this school! All you guys hand rankings below the 400s at first, then after three years your grades had risen above all the other Parallel Classes and were the same as the Normal Class students, and in the last month, you all miraculously surpassed even the Experiment Class, and could even compete with the Rocket Class!” Old Ban smiled as he reported.

“Now there are some reporters from the education channel over at the office. They gave up on interviewing the Rocket Class and made a straight beeline for you guys, so be gentle, okay?”

After that, he talked about the university applications and gave them pamphlets, before letting them do as they wished.

“I’ll be at the office if anyone needs me!”
