Chapter 95 Rescue Xu Guokun

"Jiang Zhiyu's name is ranked first, and it really lived up to everyone's expectations!"

"She is the pride of our college, and she deserves the first place."

"Look, Jiang Zhiyu and nine other people and Deng Ziqiu are all on the list. They are the elites of our academy."

However, there was a hint of disappointment among the crowd. Xu Guokun's name did not appear on the list, which surprised many people.

"Hey, why didn't Xu Guokun pass the exam? He studied just as hard as we did, so why did he fail?"

"Yeah, his grades are usually pretty good, how could he fail?"

"Maybe he didn't perform well in the test."

Everyone was talking about it, and Xu Guokun's friends were also puzzled. They gathered together to discuss the reason.

Jiang Zhiyu noticed this scene and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. She knew that Xu Guokun was a diligent and studious student, and his failure in the exam must have been a big blow to him. So, she decided to find an opportunity to comfort him.

In the evening, Jiang Zhiyu invited Liu Mengmeng and Qi Zimo to the small garden behind the academy. At this time, Xu Guokun was sitting alone on a stone bench, thinking with his head down.

Jiang Zhiyu and the other two walked over and gently patted Xu Guokun on the shoulder. He looked up and saw that it was them, and smiled bitterly.

"Are you coming to me to comfort me?" Xu Guokun asked.

Jiang Zhiyu smiled slightly: "Guokun, you don't have to feel inferior. Examinations can't determine everything. We all care about you and won't look down on you just because you failed the exam this time."

Liu Mengmeng also said: "Yes, Guokun, you know we are not that kind of people. We value your quality and hard work, not your grades."

Qi Zimo also comforted him: "Guokun, don't be discouraged. This exam is just a small setback. I believe that as long as you don't give up, you will get good results one day."

Xu Guokun felt warm in his heart as he listened to his friends' words. He knew he was not alone, and with these friends around him, he could cheer up again.

Kang Yining, Zou Ting, Liao Zhen and Hu Jiahong also joined the comforting team. They sat around Xu Guokun, each of them saying words of encouragement.

Kang Yining patted Xu Guokun on the back and said, "Guokun, we all know how much effort you have put in. This failure is only temporary. Don't be discouraged. You still have friends like us."

Zou Ting said seriously: "Guokun, you have to remember that failure is not terrible, what is terrible is losing the courage to fight again. We will all be with you until you stand up again."

Liao Zhen comforted him softly, "Guokun, in fact, the test results cannot represent everything about a person. Your talent and character are the most important."

Hu Jiahong smiled mischievously and said, "Guokun, look, there are so many of us here. If you don't cheer up, wouldn't it be a shame for all of us to care about you?"

Xu Guokun listened to these words, and the haze in his heart gradually dissipated. He raised his head, and a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes: "Thank you, I will cheer up. This failure only makes me more aware of my shortcomings, and I will work harder to make up for it."

Zhang Anjie also came over at this time. He looked at Xu Guokun and said earnestly: "Guokun, you are a brave man. Don't give up because of one failure. The students of our college must have the spirit of perseverance."

Deng Ziqiu also joined in, saying, "Guokun, I know you feel bad, but you have to know that life will always have ups and downs. The important thing is that we have to get up after falling and keep moving forward."

At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and the lanterns in the small garden slowly lit up, adding a bit of soft light to this warm corner.

Xu Guokun looked at these friends who cared about him and felt grateful. He thought this setback was nothing because he had the support and encouragement of so many people.

"Guokun, tell us the truth, have you encountered any difficulties?" Jiang Zhiyu asked worriedly.

"Actually, something happened in my family." Xu Guokun said dejectedly.

"Oh? What happened at home? Can you tell everyone, maybe we can help a little." Liu Mengmeng looked at Xu Guokun sympathetically and asked softly.

Xu Guokun sighed, his face covered with a shadow of sadness, and slowly said: "My mother suddenly became seriously ill and needed a lot of money for treatment. I had no choice but to run around to raise money, which delayed my studies and caused me to fail the exam."

Everyone sighed after hearing this. They didn't expect that this diligent and studious scholar would encounter such misfortune. Jiang Zhiyu frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Guokun, who else is in your family? Can they help you support your family business temporarily?"

Xu Guokun shook his head and said helplessly: "I only have one younger brother at home, and he is too young to take care of the household chores. If I am not here, I am afraid that the family will have trouble continuing."

Liu Mengmeng's eyes turned when she heard this, and she suggested, "In that case, we might as well apply to the Imperial College together to get some subsidies for you. As for the affairs at home, we can also help you take care of them."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Xiao Wen said, "Yes, we are all your friends, so we should lend a helping hand. Guokun, don't worry, we will do our best to help you through this difficult time."

Jiang Zhiyu smiled slightly, patted Xu Guokun on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Guokun, don't worry, all of us are your confidants. Leave the joint application for subsidies to us."

Liu Mengmeng rolled her eyes and continued, "However, the subsidy from the Imperial College alone may not be enough to solve your predicament. We have to think of other ways."

Kang Yining said, "Yes, we need to pool our wisdom. Brother Guokun, how is your family doing? Is there any property that can be saved?"

Xu Guokun sighed and said, "We originally had a few acres of thin land at home, but due to natural disasters and man-made disasters in recent years, the harvest has been poor. In addition, I am away studying, and there is no one to take care of the family. Our property is already in danger."

Qi Zimo frowned and thought, "In this case, we might as well start from two aspects. On the one hand, we jointly apply for subsidies from the Imperial College, and on the other hand, we can help you manage your family's property and try to recover the losses."

Everyone nodded, and Hu Jiahong suggested, "We can divide the work and cooperate. Brothers Zhang Anjie, Zou Ting, and Liao Zhen are familiar with farming and can take care of the fields. As for me, I can help Brother Guokun with household chores."

Zhang Anjie patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, leave it to us. We will definitely help you keep the fields in good order."

Liu Mengmeng added: "As for the joint application to the Imperial College, Xiao Wen, Jiang Zhiyu and I will be responsible for writing the application. Hu Jiahong, Kang Yining, and Deng Ziqiu will be responsible for contacting all classmates and seeking their support."
