Standing not far outside the school’s entrance, Gu Xiqiao rubbed her chin after hanging up. She was baffled by Li Yanmei’s odd reaction over the phone.

Shortly after, the person she was supposed to meet popped into her view. Raising an eyebrow, Gu Xiqiao asked, “What are you up to? Why are you looking around like that?”

“No, nothing. I was just saying my prayers to the God of studying just now, that’s all.” Li Yanmei pulled Gu Xiqiao to an inconspicuous corner.

“I don’t know if you know this but uh, the sudden influx of transfer students to this school this year was because of them wanting to pay homage to you.”

If she were to walk around the school grounds beside Gu Xiqiao, God knows if she’ll be able to make it out alive by the end of the day.

Gu Xiqiao rubbed her nose in amazement.

“It’s really gotten that crazy?”

“I swear I’m not exaggerating.” Li Yanmei appeared to be dead serious. “Why didn’t you tell us about that when you returned to the village. I bet my mom and the village elder would be ecstatic to hear what you’ve achieved.”

“… I guess I forgot.” Gu Xiqiao slapped the pesky Xixi off her shoulder. “Let’s leave this for another day. How about you? Have you gotten used to this place?”

“Does that even matter? I’ll have to thank the heavens that I managed to land a place in this school.” A smile broke across Li Yanmei’s face. “Thankfully, I have you around. Without your help, First City High’s never gonna take me in, cause, you know, my age and all. I’m at least 2-3 years older than all of my peers and it’s not like my grades are the best either.”

It was a single sentence from Mu Zong that sealed the deal. Slowly, he said to the school’s headmaster, “This girl here is Gu Xiqiao’s cousin. Would it be possible if…”

“Oh, a relative of our much beloved student? Why of course we’ll take her in! Hm, how does the first class sound?” Both the tone and facial expression of the headmaster changed the moment the words “Gu Xiqiao” entered his ears. Even as they were about to leave, the headmaster personally accompanied them to the school’s entrance, all while wearing a great big smile. “Should you face any problems living here, please, do not hesitate to schedule an appointment with me.”

Li Yanmei initially had no idea why the headmaster had suddenly changed his attitude. Now, she understood that she had come to this school, riding on the coattails of Gu Xiqiao’s reputation.

“Alright, I shall get someone to bring you a set of notes and revision books. They’re all compiled by me during my final year at this school.” Gu Xiqiao then remembered how long it has been since Li Yanmei touched a book. Without help, she would inevitably struggle to keep up with the syllabus. As those from the parallel class back then had struggled too, she set aside some time to revamp the notes that she had made for the parallel class.

Unbeknownst to Gu Xiqiao, her set of notes had been shamelessly printed into countless copies by the headmaster, which as a result, created the academic miracle that would go down in N City’s education history. Be that as it may, there was no one who could top what Gu Xiqiao achieved.

Li Yanmei of course, knew just how precious Gu Xiqiao’s notes were. She couldn’t wait for tomorrow to come. With someone of that caliber supporting her, she felt… great.

“Oh right, I gotta bring you clothes shopping.” Gu Xiqiao said as she eyed the conservative outfit Li Yanmei was wearing. She feared that dressed in that outfit, the girl would find a hard time fitting in with her peers. “Treat it as a celebratory gift to you for managing to get into your dream school. After all, I’ve never really given you something as a gift, have I?”
