One week after the start of the semester, the school will hold an entrance exam.

On Monday, Yu Nuan walked to school alone. Gu Qing was still at her uncle's house because of illness and had not returned.

When Yu Nuan arrived at the classroom, she saw that Gu Qing was already there. She walked over happily and asked, "Gu Qing, are you feeling better?"

"Yes, Yu Nuan, thank you and Auntie for taking me to the hospital."

"You're welcome. You should have called me sooner. You didn't know you'd faint as soon as I opened the door. You almost scared me to death."

Gu Qing smiled. This week, her uncle, aunt, and brother took turns lecturing her. This was indeed an accident; Gu Qing hadn't expected to be delirious with fever.

As the two were talking, the classmates gradually arrived, and Su Xi entered the classroom just as the last bell rang. She sat down at the back, and then the homeroom teacher arrived and announced the important points to note for the upcoming exam.

After two days of exams, the results came out. Yu Nuan did quite well, ranking in the top ten in her class. Su Xi's score, however, shocked everyone. She ranked first in the entire school, and even scored 20 points higher than the second-place student. When Yu Nuan saw the results, she couldn't help but give Su Xi a thumbs up. She was truly amazing.

Yu Nuan never saw Su Xi study very seriously in class, but her grades were still so good.

Yu Nuan asked Su Xi, "Su Xi, how do you study?"

Because of Yu Nuan's previous act of taking Gu Qing to the hospital, Su Xi was very grateful to Yu Nuan, and now they had a good relationship. Su Xi seemed to have a rather aloof personality. After coming to this class, apart from interacting with Gu Qing, she always had a cold expression with everyone else, making her seem unapproachable. However, after getting to know her, Yu Nuan discovered that Su Xi was actually quite nice.

"I just listen to lectures and do exercises," Su Xi simply explained her learning method.

But this kind of thing is only suitable for a genius like her.

Li Jia turned and joined the conversation, but she wasn't interested in studying; she only wanted to go out and have fun. "Tomorrow's Saturday, do you guys have any plans for the weekend?"

This week, we had exams and reviewed questions, but the teachers didn't start any new lessons, so there wasn't much homework over the weekend. Everyone can play to their heart's content; you won't have such a good opportunity again.

"I'm going to my uncle's house." Yu Nuan had already promised her aunt that she would stay at her house for two days this weekend.

"Me too. My brother finished his military training this week, and I'm waiting to go back to my uncle's house with him."

"I have a competition on Saturday." Su Xi is a good student and also has a special talent in long-distance running.

"Oh, you all have plans," Li Jia said disappointedly. She had originally planned to go out and have fun together.

"Yu Nuan, why did you leave?"

"Tomorrow morning." My cousin's university hasn't started yet, and he told Yu Nuan that he would pick her up on Saturday morning.

“That’s perfect. I’m going back tomorrow too. Come to my house today and we can do our homework together.” Gu Qing invited Yu Nuan.

“Great! I’m planning to finish my homework tonight so I can go to my uncle’s house empty-handed tomorrow.” Yu Nuan readily agreed.

After school, Yu Nuan didn't even go inside her own house when she got to the gate. She opened the door and said to her mother, "Mom, I'm going to Gu Qing's house to do my homework."

"Okay. Come to my house for dinner with Gu Qing later."

When Yu Nuan arrived at Gu Qing's house, she looked around and found that the layouts of their two houses were quite similar.

"Yu Nuan, are you hungry? Here are some snacks I made. Have something to eat first." Gu Qing took out the snack box from under the coffee table and placed it in front of Yu Nuan.

Yu Nuan was indeed a little hungry after a day of school, so she didn't stand on ceremony with Gu Qing and started eating.

Where do we do our homework?

"My study!" There's a large table in the study, enough for the two of us to sit down together.

"it is good."

Neither of them were procrastinators, so they immediately started doing their homework. There wasn't much homework, and they finished it in no time.

As Yu Nuan packed her schoolbag, she said, "Gu Qing, come to my house for dinner later!"

"No need. Why don't you stay here and have dinner at my place tonight? I'm a pretty good cook."

"You cook? Don't you have a housekeeper?" Yu Nuan had met her before.

"I wasn't used to having other people in my house, so I quit. I also really enjoy cooking," Gu Qing explained.

"Won't you be in a rush to cook after school?"

"It's alright, I can manage for now. We'll deal with the future later." Gu Qing said, heading towards the kitchen to prepare a meal.

Yu Nuan stopped him, saying, "I'll try your cooking again later. It's getting late, let's go to my house! My mom just asked me to take you to my house for dinner, let's go!"

Yu Nuan pulled Gu Qing back to her home. Lin's mother had already prepared dinner, and Lin's father was sitting in the living room making a phone call, seemingly discussing company matters.

Yu Nuan called out "Dad" and then didn't disturb Lin's father while he was on the phone.

Gu Qing smiled and greeted Lin's father, "Uncle."

Mr. Lin nodded with a smile.

This was the first time Gu Qing had met Yu Nuan's father. Because his company had just moved, Mr. Lin had a lot of things to deal with, so he left early and returned late every day. Yu Nuan hadn't had a meal with Mr. Lin for several days.

When Lin's mother saw Gu Qing, she greeted him warmly, "Gu Qing, you're here! Come sit down and have a meal. Make yourself at my house, don't be shy."

"Thank you auntie."

After everyone sat down, Mr. Lin finished his phone call. He said to Gu Qing, "This must be Gu Qing! Come visit us often."

"Okay, uncle."

"Originally, Nuannuan's mother and I were worried that Nuannuan would not be used to the new school, but we didn't expect that she would run into her neighbor and classmate as soon as she arrived. It's great."

Mr. Lin said with a smile that he was happy that his daughter had made friends at her new school.

Looking at the heartwarming scene of Yu Nuan's family of three, Gu Qing felt a pang of sadness. If her parents were still alive, would it be the same scene?

After dinner, Yu Nuan led Gu Qing to her bedroom, where the two chatted about gossip. Time flew by, and Gu Qing said she had to go back.

"Gu Qing, don't go back tonight, sleep with me. Anyway, you'll be all alone at home."

"No, why don't you come home with me? We have a projector at home, we can find a movie to watch, and we won't have to get up early tomorrow."

We were just talking about movie stars, and Yu Nuan mentioned that she hasn't been to the cinema in a long time. Going to the cinema is a bit late now, but watching at home on a projector is fine, though the experience isn't as good as in a theater.

Yu Nuan was somewhat tempted by Gu Qing's suggestion and agreed after thinking for a few seconds.

Then, she came out and said to her parents, "Mom and Dad, I want to sleep at Gu Qing's house tonight."

"Okay! You two girls must make sure to lock the windows and doors tonight," Lin's mother instructed.

"I know, Mom."

After obtaining consent, Yu Nuan immediately took her pajamas and went back to Gu Qing's house.

After Yu Nuan left, Lin's father said worriedly, "Isn't it safe for just two young girls to live here?"

"It's alright, the community has good security, and most of the residents are teachers' families. Besides, the houses are right next to each other, so there's nothing to worry about."
