I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

On the other side, Gu Xi went her classroom after she had parted with Gu Shao.

It wasn’t too early when Gu Xi arrived at the school and, as such, there were already quite some people in the classroom when she got there.

What baffled Gu Xi was why these people were surrounding her desk instead of getting ready for class.

Someone noticed Gu Xi before she walked over and shouted out, “She’s here. She’s here. The center of discussion is here now~”

What is going on?

Gu Xi grumbled suspiciously to herself as she walked over to the crowd.

The other students in the class voluntarily made a path for Gu Xi to get through.

The only problem was the gossipy smiles on them when they looked at her gave her the creeps.

Gu Xi walked all the way to the seat before she noticed the breakfast gift package on her desk.

Why did she call it a gift package?

Because the box was huge and had a lot of varieties. In addition to just breakfast, it also had snacks and other crackers.

The cherry-pink, cherry-shaped lunch box also came with non-disposable utensil. It was very eye-catching.

Dong Mingming came over at this moment and held onto Gu Xi with a gossipy look.

“Not bad! You got someone sending you love bento on your second day of school!” Having said that, Tong Mianmian lowered her voice and asked curiously, “Who’s it from?”

“I have no idea.” Gu Xi was dumbfounded as well. She looked over at the others and asked, “Do you know?”

Everybody shook their heads.

“I was the first one here and it was already here when I arrived.”

“Who’s it from? Breakfast early in the morning. That’s so doting!”

“Keke. Could it be someone who has a crush on Gu Xi?” After all, with Gu Xi’s looking, it would make total sense that someone was crushing on her.

… …

Everybody plunged back into gossips again.

Luckily, the bell rang and their morning study time had started. Everybody stopped gossiping and returned awkwardly to their own spots.

After Gu Xi had seated, Dong Mingming stuck her head over and asked softly, “Be honest, Gu Xiao Xi. Do you really not know who it’s from?”

“I really don’t know.” Gu Xi shook her head.

“That’s so odd then.” It was a bit of a stretch to say that it was from someone who had a crush on her. Gu Xi had, after all, only been here for a day. Many outside of their class wasn’t even aware of her.

“Do you know anyone from our school?”

Gu Xi shook her head again. “No.”

“Maybe they’ve put it on the wrong spot?” The package in front of her gave Gu Xi a headache. She had no idea what to do with it.

“What are you going to do with it then?” asked Dong Mingming.

Gu Xi thought about it some and said, “Turn it into loss and found, I guess.”

Dong Mingming, “Good idea……” Except that this gift package looked so delicious. She really wanted to eat it. What should she do?

On the other side of the classroom, Wang Yankai looked over at Gu Xi, then at Sheng Xiuyan, who was now sleeping on his desk, and couldn't help but started discussion softly.

“Say, that wouldn’t be from Brother Yan, would it?” After all, they had all witnessed Sheng Xiuyan’s “fall” the day before.

“Coming early to drop off the lunch bento, took off, and then returning to the classroom again as if nothing had happened. Keke.”*

“Perhaps. Why else would Brother Yan be here before the first class today?”

The few talked among themselves in a low voice.

Luckily Sheng Xiuyan was asleep at the time. Had he heard their conversation, he very well might call them “brain dead”.

***

Gu Xi was called to the office by her class teacher in between classes.

“What’s the matter, Teacher Chen?” asked Gu Xi.

Teacher Chen put on a very friendly smile when she saw Gu Xi and said, “Oh, you are here. C’mon over, Gu Xi. I want to talk to you about something.”

FC's thought process: Why can’t he just leave it there and stay, but just say that it wasn’t him? But then it would be like the first person who “discovers the murder”, right? =D
