“Get up.”
The moment the alarm rang, Gu Xiao stretched and quickly changed into her school uniform.
When she walked out of the room, the living room was still dark. Chu An had yet to wake up.
“Class is at eight o’clock. Does Chu An wake up so late?” Gu Xiao asked in confusion, but she soon heard the sounds from the kitchen.
“You’re up? Why didn’t you sleep a little longer?” Chu An walked out of the kitchen with two cups of milk.
“…Why are you up so early?”

Gu Xiao rolled her eyes at him and followed Chu An. They sat at the dining table. It was already filled with the breakfast he had prepared.
Sandwich bread, some fruit, two eggs, and two glasses of milk.
It was very simple, but it still made Gu Xiao feel a strong warmth in her heart.
As a person who had lived three lifetimes, Chu An was the only person who treated her well with all his heart…
Just when she was feeling touched, Chu An gently flicked Gu Xiao’s head with his finger.
“Why are you in a daze? Memorize this while you eat.” As he spoke, he spread out a vocabulary book in front of Gu Xiao. “Study hard and improve every day.”
“Why aren’t you memorizing it?” Gu Xiao asked.
“I finished memorizing it in junior high.”
As they woke up very early, there was still a lot of time left after breakfast. Gu Xiao continued to memorize the book while Chu An tidied up the dining table. After doing everything, the two of them went to school together.
The apartment was very close to the school. It was a ten-minute walk, and they inevitably encountered some classmates on the way.
Chu An was originally a well-known figure in high school, and Gu Xiao had also been a popular guest on the show. Coupled with the various interactions between the two, it was inevitable that the students would let their imaginations run wild.
Therefore, along the way, there were always some people who looked at them gossipily and whispered to the people around them.
Previously, in order to make it easier for the show to film, the production team had placed them in the same class. Now that the show was over, there were some adjustments to the people in class.
Chu An and Ji Yao were both in the best competition-level class, and Lin Xue had transferred schools for special reasons. Gu Xiao was assigned to the ordinary class because her results could not keep up.
After Chu An sent Gu Xiao to her class, he waited for her to find her seat before returning to his own class.
Gu Xiao’s seat was arranged in the first row not only because Gu Xiao was only a little more than 1.6 meters tall, but also so that it would be more convenient for her to listen in class.
As soon as Gu Xiao sat down, a girl sitting beside her came over sneakily.

Gu Xiao turned around and saw a cute girl smiling at her. She had a round face and some baby fat. Her hair was tied into two ponytails, and her voice was sweet. She looked very friendly.
Gu Xiao could not help but laugh. “It’s all rumor. I’m just friends with him.”
Gu Xiao wasn’t deliberately hiding it. Objectively speaking, although she and Chu An liked each other, they hadn’t clearly expressed their feelings for each other in their two lives, which meant that they weren’t officially together. Additionally, she didn’t want to be the focus of discussion among her classmates, so she didn’t plan to admit it.
Unexpectedly, the girl let out a disappointed “Ah?” “Really? I’m still a fan of your on-screen couple. I thought the two of you were a good match! So it’s fake…”
Gu Xiao was stunned. This was the first time she had heard someone say that she was very compatible with Chu An. In the past, none of those people had felt that she was worthy of Chu An.
The girl’s words improved Gu Xiao’s impression of her.
“Oh right! I haven’t told you my name yet!” The girl slapped her head. “My name is Zhou Luo.”
“Yes, hello. My name is Gu Xiao.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the bell rang. Zhou Luo immediately sat up straight, and there was a generous, ready-to-face death expression on her face.
Gu Xiao:”?”
“Sit properly. The first class is Chinese. Our Chinese teacher is terrifying. Don’t provoke him. His brain is a little abnormal.”
Gu Xiao only felt that this teacher might be a little strict. Now, she was even a little happy. She was a student with poor self-discipline, and Chu An wasn’t by her side. She couldn’t be more fortunate than to to have a strict teacher.
