Chapter 1005: Gu Zi’s Little Treasure Trove

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Before Xu Sheng could finish his sentence, Huang Fei’s face turned cold again. Her voice was sharp, almost scolding, as she said, “Why are you always hanging out with Su Li and his group, wasting time on those silly games? I won’t allow you to continue like this. Fine, I’ve apologized, and I’ll let you have these snacks for today—but only this once. Now go finish your assignments. Your tutor will be here any moment.”

At the Su family home, Gu Zi brought two children into the house. Su Li stood there with his head bowed, his small face looking guilty.

Noticing his crestfallen expression, Gu Zi pulled out a creamy White Rabbit candy and handed it to him. “What’s this? Is our little Su Li upset about something?”

Su Li, unable to keep things bottled up, immediately confessed, “Mom, do you think it’s our fault Xu Sheng got scolded by his mom?”

He had been feeling terribly guilty. It was his idea to have Xu Sheng teach them chess, and because of that, Xu Sheng had lost track of time and ended up getting reprimanded when his mother found out. Su Li was sure he’d messed up again.

Gu Zi crouched down and ruffled his hair. “How could that be your fault? Don’t think like that, sweetheart. But I’m curious—didn’t you and Xu Sheng not used to play together? Why the sudden chess game today?”

...

Before Su Li could answer, Gao Ming piped up. “Auntie, Xu Sheng came over to thank Su Li. It was his idea, not ours. And you know what? I don’t think he’s so bad after all. We just didn’t really understand him before. Honestly, he’s kind of pitiful.”

Su Li nodded eagerly. “Exactly! That’s all it was, Mom. I don’t understand why Auntie Huang Fei got so angry about it.”

Gu Zi paused, unsure of how to explain the complexities of the situation to them. Finally, she said, “Don’t think too much about it. If you really want to help Xu Sheng, then just be his friend quietly, without anyone knowing. That boy… he really needs friends.”

Su Li took his mother’s words to heart.

The next morning, as he nibbled on an egg tart during breakfast, Su Li made a decision. He deliberately saved two tarts, carefully wrapping them in a napkin before slipping them into his school bag.

Once he arrived at school, he headed straight for the entrance of the Little Genius Training Class—Xu Sheng’s classroom—and waited for him.

Initially, he’d thought about waiting for Xu Sheng at the school gate, but the fear of running into Huang Fei made him change his mind. So there he was, standing nervously by the classroom door, and before long, Xu Sheng appeared.
