I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father Chapter 77: She had perfected demonstrated what guilty consc

In the backseats of the car.

Neither one of the father and daughter said a word.

A docunt pouch next to Gu Shaos hand suddenly caught Gu Xis attention as she lowered her head.

It looked sowhat familiar.

Gu Xi thought about it so and she recalled: This looked a lot like the docunt pouch that was given to Gu Shao by the principal of Liming yesterday that contained all of her past academic work!

Gu Xi glanced up and Gu Shao, who was on the phone, did not appear to be paying attention to her at the mont.

As she was too curious, Gu Xi reached her hand over stealthily while Gu Shao was distracted, opened up a corner of the docunt pouch, and carefully peeked at the content inside of it.

It was the copies of so of her awards and award certificates from when she was with that school and so docunts from when she had participated in so competitions. And then there were so essays that she had written in the past and so major howork assignnts.

So of them were her award-winning essays and so were used as sample essays by the school.

Gu Xi couldnt really recall exactly which of her essays or major howork assignnts were retained by the school.

Right when Gu Xi was about to flip through the corner and look, Gu Shao had already gotten off his call.

Seeing that Gu Shao was looking over, Gu Xi quickly retrieved her hand and gave Gu Shao a I-dont-know-anything-nothing-is-going-ondry smile.

Hows your new school? asked Gu Shao.

Mmm. Gu Xi thought about it so and said with the corners of her lips raised. Not bad.

Gu Shao didnt ask any further and Gu Xi, on the other hand, started frantically trying to recall what she had written in her essays back at Liming.

Most of them were topics assigned by the school scenes of their ho villages, ti, if you are so-and-so

Oh, right! Then there was one called My Dream. She had written how her dream was to get in NTN Technology Center and then beca soone like Gu Shao.

Having thought of that, Gu Xis look froze on her face.

There was nothing wrong with the content of her essay but, now that Gu Shao had beco her father, thinking about that essay again made Gu Xi felt inexplicable shy and embarrassed.

Gu Xi peeked carefully at Gu Shao. He probably still hadnt seen the content inside the pouch yet.

Should she steal them from him?

That idea flashed through Gu Xis mind.

Gu Shao, Sothings the matter?

Gu Xi, No, nothing.

***

Back at ho.

That night, Gu Xi still had that docunt pouch on her mind. She started plotting about how she could steal it from Gu Shao.

Inside the dining room, seeing how Gu Xi had retreated back into her bedroom and locked herself in there imdiately after dinner, Aunty i was a little worried.

Sir, did little Miss Xi run into so unpleasantness at school today? asked Aunty i nervously.

I dont think so, said Gu Shao.

From what he had learned from the school, Gu Xi seed to have done alright on her first day at school.

Maybe she is just tired, said Gu Shao.

On the other side, inside of her bedroom, Gu Xi had her ear against her door, spying on what was going on outside.

She waited until there were no more noises from the outside and the noise of a door closing. She figured that Gu Shao must have returned to his bedroom before she carefully opened up her room door.

Through the crack of the door, Gu Xi peeked outside and quietly scooted outside when she was sure that she did not see Gu Shao around.

She dashed toward his study as though she was doing a 100-ter sprint.

She saw that Gu Shao had placed everything inside his study after he ca ho.

Sure enough, the familiar docunt pouch was the first thing that Gu Xi saw lying on top of Gu Shaos desk.

Gu Shao walked over quietly and even looked behind her from ti to ti.

The docunt pouch in hand, Gu Xi was about to sneak back into her room.

Then, suddenly, Gu Shaos voice rang from behind her.

Whats the matter?

Hearing Gu Shaos voice, Gu Xi, startled, her hand shuddered and she quickly put the docunt pouch where she found it and turned around with her hands behind her back.

Oh?

Whats the matter? asked Gu Shao again.

Nothing, said Gu Shao while shaking her head.

She perfectly demonstrated what guilty conscience looked like.

Em, that, I need you to sign sothing for , said Gu Xi.

Sure, give them to . Gu Shao nodded.

Em, Ive forgotten them in my room, said Gu Xi as she pointed in the direction of her room with guilty conscience. Let go get them.

Seeing that Gu Shao had nodded again, Gu Xi dashed out, back into her room, grabbed her howork assignnts and returned to the study while feeling relieved the entire ti: Lucky she was able to co up with a plausible reason quickly.

You need to sign these. Gu Xi handed her howork assignnts over to Gu Shao while still staring intensely at the docunt pouch lying on the corner of his desk.

Gu Shao, after taking the howork assignnts from Gu Xi, flipped it open.

Her handwriting was very pretty and her entire howork notebook looked very neat. Each stroke of hers clearly demonstrated her seriousness.

Her mannerism and attitude made her a good fit for performing scientific research was the idea that crossed Gu Shaos mind.
