An Empress’s Return to the Present: The Real Young Lady’s Strong Comeback

Chapter 38

She seemed to have never considered this issue.

She had lived three lifetimes. In her first life, she had been played by fate and died a tragic death. In her second life, she had walked the path of power in order to avenge Chu An, and in this life, it was to get revenge on those people who had played around with her fate in her first life.

It was as if she had been living for revenge all this while.

But what about in the future? What about after she had gotten her revenge? What would be left of her life? Where would she go from here?

Gu Xiao suddenly realized that she had taken a narrower path.

It was also in this instant that Gu Xiao suddenly realized that she was not living this life for the sake of revenge. Revenge was only an accessory. She wanted to live for herself.

Gu Xiao paused, and when she saw the child’s bright eyes, she shook her head, “Sorry, Teacher has not thought of my own dream yet. When Teacher has thought of it, I will tell you immediately, all right?”

“En!” The child nodded obediently.

The class soon ended, and when Gu Xiao Xiao’s class ended, she also received good reviews from the netizens. There were even some who said online, “Children need an open-ended education like how Gu Xiao has taught.”

Gu Xiao thought that the boasting had gone a little too far.

However, for the rest of the day, she did not pay attention to the lectures of the others. Instead, she was completely in a daze.

The art class was a minor subject, after all, and there was only one class per day. For the rest of the day, Gu Xiao was very free, so she simply went to an empty space, sat down quietly, and looked at the sky.

“What are you thinking about?” Sensing that there was someone seated next to her, Gu Xiao turned her head to look. The young man’s hair fluttered in the breeze, shining brilliantly under the sun.

All of a sudden, she was actually a little dazed by the sight.

“En?” Chu An waved his hand in front of her eyes.

“Chu An, I, I seem to have discovered that aside from seeking revenge, I have no other goal…” Gu Xiao lowered her head very low, “I am a little confused now.”

“What’s so confusing about that?” Chu An laughed lowly.

“What am I supposed to do after I’ve avenged myself?” Gu Xiao was slightly annoyed when she saw Chu An laugh at her.

“Then we’ll talk after we get our revenge.” Chu An deliberately dragged out his words. “Xiaoxiao, it’s impossible to have a goal all the time. Realizing any dream takes only an instant. More importantly, it is whether you saw your own improvement when you achieved your goal.”

Gu Xiao raised her head and looked at Chu An.

“People’s dreams are endlessly perfected on the path ahead, but this doesn’t stop us from doing everything for the sake of becoming a better self.” Chu An rubbed Gu Xiao’s head, messing up her hair slightly, “As long as you’re heading in the right direction, it’s fine as long as you work hard.”

“What about you? Does Chu An have his own dreams?” Gu Xiao asked curiously.

“Me? Of course I do!” Chu An stretched out lazily.

“What is it?” Gu Xiao asked anxiously.

“Of course, my dream is to marry you in this lifetime.” Chu An’s eyes were gentle.

Gu Xiao was taken aback for a moment. Chu An’s face rapidly approached, and the tips of their noses were almost touching. Gu Xiao felt the warm and humid breath he was breathing, and her face flushed slightly.

“Chu An, I’m still underage,” Gu Xiao said weakly.

“En, I know.” Chu An glanced at Gu Xiao’s glossy red lips, swallowed, and finally stood up. “Xiaoxiao, don’t think too much!”

“All right,” Gu Xiao replied.

Chu An covered his face, and mocked internally, ‘Does she know just how cute she looks when she’s in a daze!’

Thankfully, he managed to restrain himself.

The two of them returned to the classroom, one after the other. At this time, Ji Yao had just finished her vivid Chinese class, and had even won applause from the students.

The sincerity and cuteness of the children seemed to have truly moved the hearts of everyone present. Even Meng Fei, who actually disliked the environment here so much, could patiently bring the children for exercise in P.E. class.

After the two days of teaching ended, every child hugged them, and all the teachers and students in the whole school took a picture together as a memento.

Before they left, the boy who had asked Gu Xiao about her dreams found Gu Xiao.

“Teacher, are you leaving?” His eyes were filled with tears as he looked at Gu Xiao.

“En, I’m leaving,” Gu Xiao replied with a smile.

“Teacher, I like you very much. Can I give you a hug?”

“Of course!” Gu Xiao spread open her arms and gave this child a massive hug.

“Teacher, will I be able to see you again in future?”

“As long as you want, we can naturally meet.” Gu Xiao let go of the child, and waved him off.

The car window slowly rolled down.
