CHAPTER 69: CHAPTER 69: SCARED OR NOT?

The teacher might not care about Gu Lingling, but Gu Juan absolutely wouldn’t.

And Liu Miao didn’t dare to tell Gu Juan about this; doing so would only make her appear incompetent and lead Gu Juan to abandon her faster.

"Lingling, you were simply amazing." Hao Lianlian excitedly grabbed Gu Lingling’s hand, "You are truly my hero."

She regretted not listening to Gu Lingling and had mentally prepared herself to be beaten by Liu Miao.

But she didn’t expect Gu Lingling to appear like a hero descending from the sky, not only that, but also to give Liu Miao a good beating.

Haha, thinking of Liu Miao’s look just now made her want to laugh.

Except for the first hit on the back of Liu Miao’s head, the rest were aimed at her body, so unless she takes off her clothes, you really couldn’t tell Liu Miao was beaten.

"In the future, be cautious when we walk and carry some chili powder in our backpacks," Gu Lingling said.

Although they scared Liu Miao today, who knows if she might be as tough as a cockroach that won’t die?

"Scared or not?" Liu Yating asked.

"Scared!" Gu Lingling said firmly, "But I’m more afraid of living a suffocating life."

Not just Liu Miao, from now on, anyone who provokes her will face her vengeance; she won’t be as cowardly as in her past life.

As Gu Lingling had guessed, Liu Miao indeed didn’t dare to tell anyone about this, only asking someone to take a few days off for her.

Gu Juan was very angry about this; she had just instructed Liu Miao to keep a close watch on Gu Lingling, and then the next day, she bailed on her.

But since she had previously repeated a grade, she wasn’t in the same class as Gu Lingling.

The three of them went to school to register and said a word to the teacher before heading to the mountains. By the time Gu Juan brought Lv Guodong to find Gu Lingling, she had already disappeared.

"The air on this mountain is really nice," Gu Lingling said, biting into a wild fruit and pointing to a large flat rock not far ahead, "Why don’t we settle over there?"

There was a small stream flowing nearby, with water coming from the mountains.

Gu Lingling spread a bedsheet she had brought from home on the rock, making it feel a bit like a picnic spot from the future.

"You really think things through," Liu Yating said, patting Gu Lingling’s shoulder, "I’ll bring some snacks next time."

This life is simply too pleasant.

"Let’s read," Gu Lingling knocked on her head lightly, "Don’t really think we’re here for a leisure trip."

Liu Yating’s smiling face immediately scrunched up upon hearing they were going to study.

These past few years, schooling was more like playtime.

Gu Lingling quickly realized this problem too.

They were in the second year of junior high, but their level was barely that of fourth or fifth grade. If things continued, they surely wouldn’t pass the revived college entrance exam in a few years.

Gu Lingling bit her pen, calculating in her mind.

"Let’s make a study plan," Gu Lingling suggested, "and start by reviewing what we’ve learned before."

Books were hard to come by, but fortunately, Gu Lingling had attended training courses organized by the Overseas Chinese Hotel in her past life. The teacher, having failed the college entrance exam in his first year, was frustrated and would sometimes lecture straight from the exam papers.

However, Liu Yating and Hao Lianlian’s current level was obviously not enough.

Thankfully, they still had a few years to prepare.

"Lingling, your handwriting is really nice," Liu Yating said enviously.

"Yes, you both should practice more too. Handwriting is a reflection of a person," Gu Lingling said calmly while sketching something on her notebook.

"Lingling, do you think these will be useful in the future?" Hao Lianlian asked doubtfully.

With everything going on now, who even has the time to study?

"It will definitely be useful," Gu Lingling said with conviction.
