Chapter 584: Chapter 584: A Trip for Two
For Sheng Tang’s college entrance exams, Gu Shiting’s university didn’t require a break.
He took a few days off specifically to accompany Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang’s exam venue wasn’t the nearby Seventeenth Middle School but was at the Fifth Middle School.
The Fifth Middle School was ten train stops away from her home, about thirty minutes, which wasn’t too far.
She could commute back and forth.
But Gu Shiting wasn’t reassured.
"...There’s a pretty good hotel next to Fifth Middle School. I’ve asked Song Chen to book a room for you. You’ll stay there for the next few days. Don’t eat the hotel food; I’m afraid it’s not clean and might upset your stomach. I’ll bring food for you every day," Gu Shiting said.
Sheng Tang said, "You’re being too dramatic!"
"Listen to me!"
Sheng Tang: "..."
She told her family about it.
Gu Shiting, who was beside her, strongly advocated for his plan, saying that this way Sheng Tang could sleep well in the morning and rest well at night.
Both her parents and grandmother agreed.
Thus, Gu Shiting indeed booked a suite.
The hotel was genuinely good, with ideal soundproofing. Once the door and windows were closed, it was completely quiet inside.
The suite had an outer room.
Gu Shiting refused to go back and didn’t want to disturb her. He couldn’t sleep with the lights off at night, fearing it would affect Sheng Tang’s rest, so he slept in the small bed in the outer room.
Sheng Tang felt that if she didn’t do well in the exams, she would be letting him down first.
Every morning, a cook from his home would personally deliver breakfast; for lunch and dinner, Gu Shiting himself would go home to get it.
During the two days of college entrance exams, Sheng Tang felt very comfortable and performed quite normally.
Jiang Baocu wasn’t in the same exam room as her, so after the exams, he called her and asked, "How did it go for you?"
"I’m doing well," Sheng Tang replied, "How about you?"
"Not bad, I think I can get in," Jiang Baocu said.
Jiang Baocu’s goal was to get into her boyfriend’s university.
"That’s good then."
Last year was Gu Shiting’s college entrance exams, and this year it was hers. It seemed like not much time had passed.
After her college entrance exams, Gu Shiting’s school still hadn’t started the summer break, so Sheng Tang spent every day at the S University library.
She accompanied Gu Shiting for meals and going home. Sometimes, they practiced self-defense moves or swam and worked out together.
The days passed quite quickly.
Once the summer holiday started, Gu Shiting immediately packed his luggage to take Sheng Tang on a road trip.
They were actually just going to visit a few nearby cities.
"We only have eight days," Gu Shiting said.
"Why?"
"I have a project during the summer, with the graduate students leading it. If we complete it, each of us will get a 20,000 yuan subsidy," Gu Shiting said with anticipation.
Sheng Tang: "..."
A young master worth billions, sacrificing an entire summer to earn twenty thousand yuan, was really pushing it.
"Then work hard, earn some money and buy me candy," Sheng Tang said, holding back her laughter.
Gu Shiting’s eyes sparkled, seemingly brewing some grand plan.
Sheng Tang found this kind of ambitious him to be quite adorable.
She envisioned that it was unlikely for Gu Shiting to return to manage the family company. His entire life would probably be spent in the laboratory and classroom.
Doing experiments, teaching, and establishing his own research institute.
That’s pretty good too.
Gu Shiting drove steadily, and Sheng Tang was a bit bored, chatting with him and randomly fiddling with the car radio.
She tuned the radio to a news station, and they heard the excited announcer say, "...The total solar eclipse will occur in the East China region, and our city will also be enveloped."
Sheng Tang froze.
Gu Shiting was talking to her, but seeing her quiet for a long time, slightly turned his head and called her name, "Tangtang?"
Sheng Tang came back to her senses.
"Why are you daydreaming?"
"Is there going to be a total solar eclipse?"
"Yes," Gu Shiting said, not understanding her change in mood, "It’s nothing much, it just gets dark for a few minutes during the day."
Sheng Tang was still a bit dazed.
