Chapter 461: Chapter 461: The Popularity of Gu Shiting
The donation event was lively for a few days, and then it passed.
Time flew by, and more than a month had passed since the start of the semester.
Sheng Tang faced the first quiz since the new semester began.
Her final exam scores had improved significantly, surprising her homeroom teacher and other teachers.
"She couldn’t have cheated, right?" thought the homeroom teacher.
She recalled that Sheng Tang knew Mrs. Gu from the Huishi Gu Family, so perhaps she really did get the exam papers?
Just like Gu Shiting, who always ranked first in the school, gossip surrounded him despite his outstanding performance.
Some even said, "Let’s see how capable he really is. He can’t cheat in the college entrance exam. If he does poorly, it’ll be a slap in the face."
Thinking about these rumors, the homeroom teacher thought of Sheng Tang again.
This quiz’s papers were created by the teachers themselves and didn’t require submission to the school.
The homeroom teacher ensured the quiz’s security and exercised a bit of caution, curious about Sheng Tang’s performance this time.
As it turned out, Sheng Tang’s quiz results were even more outstanding.
Her weakness lay in math, but she excelled in other subjects, especially in English, where she again achieved the highest score in the class.
Seeing the quiz results, the homeroom teacher was stunned: "Unbelievable! No student has ever improved this quickly!"
Sheng Tang exceeded her expectations.
How could a person’s transformation be so significant? Sheng Tang seemed completely reborn.
Her grades improved, and strangely enough, she also became more beautiful.
As the school’s quiz ended, the weekend arrived.
Gu Shiting called Sheng Tang, "How was the quiz?"
"Pretty good, I ranked fifth in the class this time, even better than the final exams," Sheng Tang replied with a smile. "I aim to be in the top three for the whole school in the next finals."
"Do you need me to tutor you?"
"You’re about to take the college entrance exam," Sheng Tang said, smiling.
Gu Shiting said, "If I want to, I can secure an automatic admission to Huishi University’s Physics Department. But I want to test my own abilities, so I gave up the guaranteed spot. The college entrance exam will be no different, no big deal."
Sheng Tang: "..."
This guy seemed to be a different breed when it came to studying.
Gu Shiting then said, "Let’s go out this weekend?"
"Where to?"
"Come to my place," Gu Shiting said. "We can practice some martial arts and then go shopping in the afternoon. Didn’t you say last time that the roses on Influencer Street would be in full bloom by spring?"
He still remembered it.
Last winter, Sheng Tang had dinner with him and then went roaming around Influencer Street.
She told him it wasn’t pretty in winter but would be beautiful in spring with a sea of blooming flowers.
However, they had run into a bunch of people from the Sheng Family’s old house and had fought with Sheng Zhang, leaving unpleasant memories for Sheng Tang.
"The roses are blooming recently, let’s go see them?" Gu Shiting suggested again.
Sheng Tang thought for a moment, "But there will be many people."
"I’m not afraid. I’m not as scared of people as I used to be," Gu Shiting said.
He was very persistent.
Sheng Tang had indeed promised to take him to see them in the spring, so she agreed, "Alright, we’ll go this weekend. I’ll let my family know."
Gu Shiting quickly said, "I’ll come to your place for dinner tonight."
Sheng Tang agreed.
Her family liked Gu Shiting very much.
Gu Shiting would help mop the floor, wash the dishes, and even help her grandmother cook. Who wouldn’t like him?
Comparisons are odious. Since Gu Shiting started coming over, her grandmother thought her own two kids were excessively lazy and didn’t show as much affection to Sheng Tang and her brother.
"Brother Ting is coming over? Great, grandma bought eel in the morning, let’s have him cook stir-fried eel strips," Sheng Zong said happily.
Sheng Tang: "..."
Even his territory had fallen.
