Huayu, my cheat code is a bit strange.

Chapter 16 Assessment Contents
"What's your name?"

"Gu Xiao".

"My name is Liu Yifei, you can also call me Qianqian."

"Hello."

"I'm from Wuhan, where are you from?"

"native."

"How old are you? Oh, I'm 14 this year."

"I'm 17."

The car drove smoothly, creating a stark contrast between the young boy and girl in the back seat.

The atmosphere heated up during the question-and-answer session, or at least that's Liu Yifei's opinion.

This went on for several rounds until Gu Xiao finally couldn't take it anymore.

He took Xiao Jiu out of his hoodie pocket and placed it on the girl's knees, which were pressed together.

Xiao Jiu, who was pretending to be asleep, was suddenly moved and made a "squeak" in dissatisfaction.

When she saw Liu Yifei's bright eyes, she turned her head away haughtily.

It's not just any random mouse; no matter what someone says, it won't...
Gu Xiao handed over a pine nut.

Xiao Jiu paused for a moment, then instinctively started munching.

Gu Xiao pressed her advantage, saying, "You can have an extra piece today."

Xiao Jiu was actually tempted, so she snuggled into Liu Yifei's arms, looking completely at her mercy.

Liu Yifei was overjoyed and placed her hand on Xiao Jiu's back, gently stroking its smooth, satin-like fur.

As she moved, Xiao Jiu's body gradually relaxed, her bright black eyes narrowed into slits, and she made a happy purring sound.

Gu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was finally quiet.

"correct."

Liu Yifei looked up, blinked curiously, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Gu Xiao's expression was blank as she looked out the car window at the rapidly receding street scene: "Apple."

"You can still eat apples?"

"can."

"Can I eat bananas then?"

"No."

"why?"

"Because I won't buy it."

……

……

The car quickly arrived at Gu Xiao's building.

The black sedan, with its sleek lines, stood out starkly from its unassuming surroundings, drawing surprised glances from passing residents.

When they saw Gu Xiao calmly get out of the car, several familiar neighbors were completely astonished.

The gatekeeper leaned halfway out of the guardhouse, his voice trembling slightly:
"Xiao Gu, what's wrong?"

Gu Xiao waved her hand dismissively, "A new classmate."

He had learned his lesson the hard way about being too clever for his own good, and he made up his mind not to say another word.

Gu Xiao ran upstairs quickly, and three minutes later, carrying her schoolbag, she opened the car door again under everyone's watchful eyes and nimbly climbed inside.

The gatekeeper stared in the direction the car had disappeared, dazed, and muttered, "My goodness, did I mistake him for someone else?"

The big yellow dog at my feet yawned and let out a howl.

—No, you're not mistaken.

……

……

The car drove away from the old residential area, and the street scene outside the window gradually became more bustling.

The atmosphere inside the car was completely different from that outside. Liu Yifei puffed out her cheeks and glared angrily at Xiao Jiu, who was curled up on Gu Xiao's lap. Her gaze was as if she were looking at a "scumbag" who had started a relationship and then abandoned her.

Just moments ago, he was purring comfortably in her arms, but as soon as the car started moving, he abandoned her without hesitation and bounced back to Gu Xiao's side.

Gu Xiao felt a little uncomfortable under that silent, accusing gaze. She sighed, took out the sliced ​​apple pieces from her bag, held them in a tissue, and handed them to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei paused for a moment, took the apple, her eyes darted around, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

She picked up the apple and deliberately waved it in front of Xiao Jiu's eyes.

Xiao Jiu's nose twitched immediately, his bright black eyes were fixed on the tempting fruit flesh, and his little paws instinctively reached forward.

Just as it was about to bite, Liu Yifei suddenly pulled her wrist back, causing it to miss its target.

Xiao Jiu was stunned.

Liu Yifei suppressed a laugh and offered the apple again, but quickly withdrew it when Xiao Jiu eagerly leaned in.

Repeat this several times.

Xiao Jiu screamed in anger, turned to look at Gu Xiao, and looked heartbroken.

Gu Xiao gave him a helpless look, thinking that as a pet, you have an obligation to bear the burden for your owner's peace and quiet.

Liu Xiaoli, in the passenger seat, was drawn by the commotion in the back seat. Looking in the rearview mirror, she gently scolded, "Alright, Qianqian, stop making a fuss." Bullying someone else's pet in front of its owner, I really don't know what this silly girl was thinking.

Liu Yifei quietly stuck out her tongue, suppressing her playful mood, and obediently placed the apple in front of Xiao Jiu, saying sincerely:
"I'm sorry, I went too far. Here, have some."

Unfortunately, Xiao Jiu had no intention of forgiving her. She snorted, grabbed the apple, and in a few quick movements, jumped back onto Gu Xiao's shoulder, turned around, and faced her with her backside.

"Oh no, how could this be?"

Liu Yifei pouted, looking sad.

She tried to grab Liu Xiaoli's arm but couldn't, so she turned her gaze to Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao knew she was in trouble and quickly asked, "Could you tell me in advance what the re-examination will cover?"

Liu Yifei paused for a moment, her attention diverted, and subconsciously replied:

"It's similar to the preliminary test, still focusing on voice, stage presence, physical appearance, and performance."

She counted them off one by one on her slender fingers: "Sing a song a cappella; recite a prepared script; prepare a short dance or martial arts routine; and the performance is a more refined skit than the preliminary audition, with no more than four people."

Gu Xiao remained expressionless throughout, only frowning slightly when she heard the requirement regarding "physical form".

He closed his eyes, placed his hands on his knees, and unconsciously tapped his fingers.

Liu Yifei noticed that he was deep in thought and couldn't help but look at him curiously.

It was at this moment that she noticed Gu Xiao's nails were trimmed exceptionally neatly, her skin was delicate, and her knuckles were well-defined, making her very beautiful.

The car fell silent for a moment, with only the soft rustling sound of Xiao Jiu munching on an apple.

Gu Xiao suddenly opened her eyes and said to Liu Xiaoli in the front row, "Auntie, after you finish getting your re-examination certificate, you can go first."

"why?"

"Is there something urgent?"

The mother and daughter spoke at the same time, but Liu Xiaoli's greeting was polite, while Liu Yifei's was simply that she was reluctant to part with Xiao Jiu.

Gu Xiao glanced at the girl beside him, her feelings somewhat complicated.

He could brush off Liu Xiaoli with a "personal matter," but he could not get rid of Liu Yifei. He suddenly missed Qiu Yuanyuan. A cold girl was actually quite nice.

After waiting for a while without a reply, Liu Yifei puffed out her cheeks in annoyance: "Why aren't you saying anything again?" What's wrong with this person? Doesn't he know that this is very impolite?
Gu Xiao collected her thoughts and said, "I want to learn to dance."

Liu Yifei tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "Learn to dance?"

"I don't know how, so I have to learn," Gu Xiao said matter-of-factly.

"You're only learning now?" Liu Yifei exclaimed in astonishment, and even Liu Xiaoli in the front row glanced at her slightly.

Gu Xiao nodded gently: "Now."

Seeing her surprise, he thought for a moment and explained, "There's still one day left."

"So?" Liu Yifei was a little confused and couldn't follow his train of thought at all.

"So there's still plenty of time." Gu Xiao said calmly, her eyes revealing seriousness.

Liu Yifei: “.”

Liu Xiaoli: “.”
