PFC Chapter 190 Schadenfreude 9
Chapter 190 Schadenfreude 9
The clothes in the closet were all prepared by Xingmeng at Ziyue's request while they were away at the Gu family's place.
For a highly intelligent and qualified nanny or housekeeper, preparing clothes is a piece of cake.
As for Xingmeng's place to stay, well, there's a small study, so Xingmeng will stay here for the time being.
Anyway, the college entrance exam is coming up soon, and they won't be staying in this house for long. They'll leave soon and move to a bigger house.
Moreover, Xingmeng doesn't need to sleep like a human, but on the surface, she still needs to be given a separate room so that no one can notice her abnormality.
Gu Xuanjin played with Xiao Jiu'er very conscientiously, and would even bathe Xiao Jiu'er at night. Although Xiao Jiu'er could clean her own fur, Gu Xuanjin didn't know that.
However, it was just a bath. Little Jiu'er was different from other cats. He loved playing in the water, so he cooperated well when Gu Xuanjin served him a bath.
"Meow meow meow~"
"Human, you've done a great job. I'm very satisfied."
"Host, host, I want to sleep with this silly boy tonight."
Ziyue doesn't care; she can sleep wherever she wants.
"Whatever you want."
Gu Xuanjin really likes the kitten Xiao Jiu'er. He only stayed because of Xiao Jiu'er, so he must take good care of her.
Moreover, he always felt that the cat was very intelligent, as if it could understand him.
She was very beautiful, a small, snow-white ball with eyes like blue crystals.
What's more, this is Qing's pet, and it's something she likes.
He likes that too.

The next day at noon after school, Ziyue went straight to the door of Class 7 and waited for Gu Xuanjin to come out.
The other students looked at Ziyue with surprise and curiosity, and whispered among themselves.
The school bully is so handsome!
Yes, yes, the title of school beauty belongs to Qing Ziyue, and she truly deserves it!
Who is the school bully looking for in Class 7?
Wow, I met my goddess! I'm so happy!
……
Gu Xuanjin was the last to come out. As soon as he came out, he saw Ziyue waiting at the classroom door. A glimmer of light flashed in her usually dark and emotionless eyes.
"Why are you so slow? Wait for me at the classroom door tomorrow."
Ziyue complained, but she wasn't actually angry.
The reason she waited for them at the classroom door was to send a signal to everyone that Gu Xuanjin was her person, and anyone else who wanted to bully her would have to think twice.
The other students watched the two leave together, and they were all extremely curious. When did Gu Xuanjin get to know the school bully?
Many people know Gu Xuanjin. He is the illegitimate son of the Gu family. He is aloof, cold, and taciturn. A group of hooligans on campus have caused him a lot of trouble.
The two of them arrived at the cafeteria under the watchful eyes of their classmates, got two meals, sat facing each other, and ate their food, ignoring everyone's stares.
After dinner, everyone went back to their respective classes and then went home together after school in the evening.
From that day on, the two were often seen walking together at school. After a while, people got used to it and stopped finding it strange.
The Gu family hadn't initially noticed Gu Xuanjin's absence. Then one day they found out, and upon inquiring, they learned that the young lady of the Qing family had taken him away to be her servant. So they stopped caring about it.
The matriarch of the Gu family and her son knew Qing Ziyue's temperament and thought that perhaps this young lady of the Qing family just didn't like that brat and would probably torment him in some way. So they looked on with schadenfreude.
The Gu family head felt that getting involved with the Qing family's daughter would also benefit their family. He was just a useless son, but if he could contribute to the family, it would be a good thing that they hadn't raised him in vain.
Therefore, each member of the Gu family had their own ulterior motives, but they all tacitly stopped asking about Gu Xuanjin.
-
Two months later, the college entrance examination arrived as scheduled.
In the morning, Gu Xuanjin woke Ziyue up. After breakfast, Gu Xuanjin was still checking Ziyue's admission ticket, ID card, and other documents, muttering to himself.
This year's college entrance examination was not very difficult for either of them. Ziyue was naturally smart and had experienced so much of the world that she could remember everything she saw. This knowledge was too easy for her to grasp after just one look.
As for Gu Xuanjin, he used to hide his talents and dared not do too well in exams, otherwise he would definitely be targeted by the mother and son of the Gu family. So every exam he did was just average, neither good nor bad.
His scores in the recent mock exams have been steadily improving, and he is sure he will perform well in the college entrance exam, since he wants to get into the same school as Ziyue.
Ziyue's grades were good enough to get her into the best school, and Beijing has the best higher education institutions in the country. Its economy, science and technology, education and medical care are all very well developed, so of course she should go to Beijing to take the exam.
Moreover, Ziyue's family also has a branch office in Beijing.
Gu Xuanjin also didn't want to stay in this city. He wanted to develop in a city far away from home, naturally following in Ziyue's footsteps.
When Ziyue went to university in Beijing, Qing's parents also decided to shift the focus of their business to Beijing.
Two days later, after the college entrance examination, Ziyue and Gu Xuanjin prepared to go on a trip as a graduation trip.
This was a schedule that Ziyue had arranged long ago.
Qing's parents knew of Gu Xuanjin's existence, and Ziyue had also told them about his background. Qing's parents didn't have any prejudice against Gu Xuanjin; on the contrary, they quite liked him.
She is sensible, polite, and intelligent. She seems to take good care of Ziyue, and Xiao Jiu'er's kitten also likes her owner very much.
Therefore, they were supportive of the two going on a graduation trip together.
As for her daughter's safety, the martial arts coach we hired for her since she was little wasn't hired for nothing.
They were aware that their daughter had a reputation as a school bully, but she was sensible and wouldn't bully the weak or neglect her studies, so they, as parents, didn't say anything.
Besides, their relationship with their daughter had only recently been repaired; before, they were reluctant and dared not interfere.
Qing Si, the father, and Ms. Qiu Hongye, both waved their hands and each gave Ziyue a large sum of money, telling them to have a good time.
Looking at the string of zeros after the bank card balance, Ziyue's eyes crinkled with a smile. After all, who would complain about having too much money?
He then invested some of the unnecessary funds in the stock market, because making money work for him is the only true principle.
After learning that his illegitimate son had become the young lady's lackey, Gu Huaiguo sent someone to deliver a bank card to him containing 200 million yuan.
Gu Xuanjin initially refused to accept it, but Ziyue accepted it on his behalf.
Later, she even scolded him: "Are you stupid? You wouldn't even take the money, why shouldn't you?"
You are still a minor, and according to national laws, Gu Huaiguo has a duty to support you!
This is what he should do. It's only right that you spend his money. Why shouldn't you take it? Are you stupid?
And do you know how much pocket money Gu Perui gets every month? It's only two million, yet he takes it without a care in the world.
Even if this is compensation for the suffering you and your mother have endured over the years, it's still not enough!!
……
At that moment, Gu Xuanjin felt a wave of tenderness in his heart when he looked at the flustered Ziyue.
-
The first stop on my graduation trip was Lhasa. Everyone says that if you take the train to Lhasa, you can see the magical Potala Palace.
They booked soft sleeper berths on the train and bought all four berth tickets so that there would only be the two of them in the carriage.
The journey took more than forty hours, two days and two nights, and the two traveled light and simply.
Moreover, summer clothes are generally thinner, and since the places we go to have different temperatures, down jackets and thicker clothes don't take up much space when stored away.
Two suitcases, two backpacks, and a large plastic bag of snacks—that was all their luggage.
When the time comes, if we need anything or something is missing, we can just buy it on the spot.
As for travel guides and such, that's Gu Xuanjin's job. Ziyue just needs to follow along and have fun. She doesn't like to use her brain or worry about anything.
Even without Gu Xuanjin, Xiao Jiu'er could plan all her schedules and arrange everything for her, so Ziyue never needed to worry about these trivial matters.
Gu Xuanjin knew Ziyue's personality, so he simply arranged the entire trip, including hotels, transportation, tickets, routes, etc. Moreover, they had more than two months of vacation, so the trip had plenty of time.
After boarding the train and entering their compartment, both of them took lower berths. Gu Xuanjin laid out the four-piece bedding set they had brought with them, knowing that Ziyue didn't like using things that others had used, so he had prepared these things in advance.
After packing all the luggage, Gu Xuanjin took their cups and went to get two cups of hot water.
Then, they took out the snacks, drinks, and pre-prepared fruit from the plastic bag and placed them on the small table, thus beginning their two-day, two-night train journey.
Watching Gu Xuanjin bustling around, Ziyue nodded in satisfaction. This little follower was doing a pretty good job.
He has the qualities of a virtuous husband and loving father.
Ziyue opened a bag of potato chips and looked at the fleeting scenery outside the window, feeling very relaxed and happy.
Gu Xuanjin looked at Ziyue sitting opposite him, her eyes smiling and her mouth stuffed full. Her gaze was soft, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
Along their journey, they passed through Qinghai Lake, Hoh Xil, the Yarlung Tsangpo River, the Yangbajing Tunnel, and the northern Tibetan grasslands, crossing the Tanggula Mountains at an altitude of over 5000 meters. The clouds rolled and the sky was blue and the water was clear, as if they could reach out and touch the sky...
Sacred, ancient, mysterious, and awe-inspiring.
Under the boundless sky, humanity appears so insignificant.
