Chapter 297: How Embarrassing!

Qi Hao closed his eyes.

The summer was fast approaching, so the night breeze felt comfortable.

However, Qi Hao didn’t feel that comfortable on the inside at all.

Instead, he felt sour and bitter.

Just then, his uncle provided him with multiple reasons. Aside from Gu Yan already having a boyfriend who was outstanding, Principal Gao added something else that made Qi Hao’s mood plummet to the bottom.

Principal Gao said he didn’t deserve Gu Yan.

Qi Hao was quite surprised. That kind of astonishment had surpassed his reaction when he heard that Gu Yan’s boyfriend was actually that famous cosmic soldier, Lu Ye.

He immediately rebuked, “Uncle, tell me exactly how I am not good enough?”

His competitiveness was stimulated. He clenched his fists.

Principal Gao shook his head. “Xiao Hao, you have been growing up in an affluent environment. Your growth has been too smooth. The current you and Gu Yan are people from two different worlds.”

Qi Hao was still reluctant to accept it. “But isn’t Lu Ye’s family background also quite well off? Although they might not be as wealthy as our family, their social status is higher than our family!”

“But he was thrown into the army by his family from a young age. He had gone through tougher times than you have eaten salt. He had been to extremely dangerous missions a few times and walked on the brink of death. How can you compare to someone like him?” Principal Gao sighed. “In fact, I don’t want you to become like Lu Ye. That sort of life is too dangerous. No one in our family is a soldier. We don’t want you to go through the hardship a soldier undergoes. I’m just telling you that Gu Yan and Lu Ye have the same temperament, the same life. But you’re different from them.”

Recalling this, Qi Hao punched the tree nearby.

The branches wobbled a few times and the leaves collided with each other, creating a rustling sound.

All in all, his uncle meant that he wasn’t as good as Lu Ye, didn’t he?

That’s why Gu Yan wouldn’t like him!

Leaning against the tree, Qi Hao took out a cigarette and lit it. He sucked in a cloud of heavy smoke and coughed.

Isn’t it just the First Empire Academy?!

Isn’t it just getting admitted to the First Empire Academy?!

Although he may be much behind Lu Ye right now, there was one thing that Lu Ye was inferior to. Perhaps Lu Ye will never surpass him in that aspect!

Youth.

Principal Gao didn’t know that his words not only didn’t deter his nephew but also made him run on another path instead.

Of course, by the time he learned Qi Hao was electing to take the cosmic alliance exam, he wanted to hit himself.

This was naturally a story for later.

But following such an incident, Qi Hao didn’t pop around Gu Yan anymore nor say anything shocking.

Other than watching quietly from afar, he spent his remaining time studying hard.

Even the school bully began to study hard. The other third-year students began to race against time as well. Suddenly, the overall atmosphere of the third-years was very good.

Sun Xingyu didn’t know why things turned out like this. She didn’t even know why Qi Hao suddenly became so hardworking.

The results were good. She was happy to see this.

Yet, the atmosphere in another corner of the nation wasn’t so good.

That was Zhang Lan and Gu Moli.

Blacksmith Wang wasn’t around. He said he would go out to look for a relative.

The three didn’t do anything after remaining for so many days at the hotel, so they didn’t have much money left either.

Zhang Lan hadn’t decided on whether she should return to her old job of being a nanny. She was scared she would be recognized by the Bai family.

Zhang Lan planned to wait until Blacksmith Wang returned and discussed whether they should go back to Jialuo for a while first.

Gu Moli was highly displeased.

“Mom, I’m not going back to that underdeveloped village! I have already ventured out now. If I return, how embarrassing would it be?! And, haven’t you been telling me that I would be living a good life in the capital? How can I go back?!”
