24. I am Not Your Mr. Gu (9)

Translator: Annsmiley

Before they realized it, the last day had passed.

And today, Nan Yu had class, so he took Gu Dongye to school.

“Xiao Ye, don’t worry about the test today. It’s very simple. Yesterday I’ve taught you basically everything that you’re gonna see in your test, so you don’t have to worry. Just take it easy and write down the answers.”

Before leaving the house, Nan Yu specifically told Gu Dongye not to be nervous, but Gu Dongye didn’t look nervous at all. On the contrary, Nan Yu looked even more nervous than him.

“Mr. Nan, was it you who designed the test?”

After hearing all that Nan Yu said, Gu Dongye suddenly asked.

“Yeah, it was me. how did you know that?” Nan Yu was suddenly a little dumbfounded.

“You’ve basically said so. Isn’t it quite obvious?” Gu Dongye asked.

Nan Yu thought about it for a moment and realized that he did have made it too obvious.

“Anyway, no matter who designed the test, all you need to do is to do your best during the test,” Nan Yu waved his hand.

“Mr. Nan, I got it. I will do my best and pass the test,” Gu Dongye looked quite determined.

Not only for Mr. Nan, but also to prove that he had got what it took to go to a better school.

“Good. I’ll be waiting for your good news,” Nan Yu patted Gu Dongye’s arm.

Why didn’t he pat Gu Dongye’s shoulder? Because Gu Dongye was half a head taller than him.

The school was not far away, so Nan Yu and Gu Dongye got to school pretty soon.

“Mr. Principal, this is Gu Dongye,” Looking quite satisfied, Nan Yu pointed to Gu Dongye who was standing beside him.

“Well, let’s get started,” the principal sat by the desk, indicating that Nan Yu could start the test.

“Xiao Ye, sit here. I’ll go get you the test paper,” Nan Yu pointed to a chair beside him and told him to sit down.

Gu Dongye sat down with no fear in his eyes. And he just sat up straight.

Nan Yu gave the test paper to Gu Dongye and stood aside to invigilate the examination.

Gu Dongye took out a pen and slowly wrote on the test paper. The neat handwriting looked like a beautiful scenery on the paper.

Time flew and the paper was gradually filled with characters, numbers and equations.

After a while, Gu Dongye stopped the pen in his hand.

“Mr. Nan, I’m done.”

Nan Yu took the test paper and corrected it on the spot. On the test paper, not only was the handwriting neat and legible, but also there were seldom any mistake.

Nan Yu looked at Gu Dongye with satisfaction. He did have done his best and passed the test.

“Mr. Principal, I’ve corrected the test paper,” Nan Yu looked up from the test paper and smiled at the principal.

“Mmm, bring it over,” the principal raised his head from the document. A smile appeared on his face when he saw that Gu Dongye got a full score.

“Ah, no wonder he ranked first in 2017. Xiao Nan, take him to your class. He is a promising child.” the principal nodded with satisfaction and looked at Gu Dongye quite kindly. After all, who didn’t like students with high marks?

“Mr. Principal, I’m taking him to my class now. When you’re free, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

“Okay, go ahead! He’s got potential. You should make the most of that.”

“I will.”

After he got out of the headmaster’s room, Gu Dongye felt relaxed. As if he had unloaded a heavy backpack which he had been carrying for a long time, there was no longer any pressure on his body.

What he needed to do now was to study hard and get into the best college so that he would be a good match for the gentleman next to him.

“Mr. Nan, thank you,” Gu Dongye looked at Nan Yu with a smile which was bigger than usual on his face.

‘Thank you for letting me meet you. Thank you for saving me from the abyss of despair. Thank you for bringing light into my life.’

Although Gu Dongye’s smile was quite subtle, Nan Yu still noticed it.

“Xiao Ye, you look so handsome when you smile,” Nan Yu whispered in Gu Dongye’s ear.

The corner of Gu Dongye’s mouth turned down. ‘Did I smile? How long have it been since the last time I smiled? It seems that I have stopped being emotional ever since my father passed away.’

Sensing that Gu Dongye was feeling down, Nan Yu patted Gu Dongye’s hand. A healing smile never failed to make people forget the pain.

“Xiao Ye, let’s go. I’ll take you to my class and you can meet your classmates.”

“Mmm,” Gu Dongye stopped feeling sad and together with Nan Yu, he walked towards the classroom.

“Students, raise your heads from your books. I’ll introduce your new classmate,” the moment Nan Yu entered the classroom, the smile on his face was like the spring breeze of March, which made the students feel less tired.

When the students heard Nan Yu’s voice, they all looked up from their books.

“Xiao Ye, come up here,” Nan Yu said that to Gu Dongye in a low voice.

Gu Dongye did so obediently. Though his face was expressionless, his handsome face was enough to wow the whole class.

“Now introduce yourself to us,” Nan Yu said that to Gu Dongye in a tone he usually used as a class teacher.

“Hello, I’m Gu Dongye.”

Though his introduction was short, his name rang a bell to many of the best students in the class.

“Gu Dongye, isn’t he the one who ranked first in the senior high school entrance examination?”

Those with good memory immediately remembered who Gu Dongye was.

“Alright, everyone, now is not the time to discuss about this. It’s time for class,” Nan Yu immediately looked stern when he said that last sentence.

However, when he spoke to Gu Dongye, he still sounded quite gentle, “Xiao Ye, take the seat over there in the last row.”

In his class, two students shared one desk, and there was an extra empty seat at the back, and Gu Dongye could sit there.

Gu Dongye had no problem with sitting in the last row. Instead, he liked it very much. He didn’t need to care about others, so no one would disturb him during the class, and no one would know him when he was watching Nan Yu.

“Okay, class begins,” Looking stern, Nan Yu said as he switched to teaching mode.

Gu Dongye didn’t have a textbook, but he listened to the lecture intently. He also made notes on his notebook seriously. During the whole lecture, Gu Dongye’s gaze never drifted away from Nan Yu.

After class, Nan Yu returned to the office and Gu Dongye got up to go to the toilet.

On the way back to the classroom, someone suddenly stopped him.

“Gu Dongye!” That person sounded surprised and it was a girl’s voice.

Gu Dongye wanted to ignore it, but he heard footsteps following behind him.

A small figure appeared in front of him.

“Gu Dongye, I thought you dropped out. What are you doing here?” Bai Lanxi asked.

Gu Dongye didn’t answer. Gu Dongye didn’t have time for such a boring question, nor did he want to talk to her.

He had only met her a few times. They weren’t very close, and the only thing he knew about her was her name.

“Oh, I got it. Our school invited you to teach us music, right? I knew that one day you would shine as you are such a wonderful singer, “Bai Lanxi muttered.

This made Gu Dongye feel uncomfortable. He frowned unhappily. He was not invited by the school.

Meanwhile, Nan Yu was worried that Gu Dongye didn’t know his way around the building, so he came to direct Gu Dongye so that he wouldn’t get lost. But to his surprise, he saw Gu Dongye chatting very happily with a girl. Bai Lanxi even had an angelic smile on her face. Nan Yu suddenly felt very upset, as if he was a father who was giving away his daughter he had brought up all by himself.
