Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 937 - 936: A Brief Parting—Little Uncle, Did You Miss Me?

Gu Anxi knelt down and hugged his neck, "Uncle, you noticed too, didn’t you think Madam Lu and Gu Mingzhu are kind of alike, the whole vibe is just a bit melancholic."Bo Xichen tossed the towel aside and hugged her, "Aren’t you afraid that if you write this little essay, your Bo mom might rush to Jiang City? Then there’d be no one to keep things in check at home."

Gu Anxi just laughed, "Bo mom won’t, besides, I’m here."

Bo Xichen didn’t speak, just looked at her with a slight smile.

The little sweetheart felt a bit shy, after all, she hadn’t seen him for a while, and now he was just so appetizing.

"Is your health better?" he asked with a hoarse voice.

She murmured, hugging him like a little puppy sniffing him, "So, did you meet anyone in Jiang City, like Dr. Jiang..."

He let her mess around, his large hand placed on the back of her neck like smoothing the fur of a little animal, his head slowly bowed down.

She softly called him, he responded in a low voice, then lifted her up to love her properly, when suddenly, there was a knock at the door. The long-separated couple hesitated for a moment...

Then, the little sweetheart buried her head in the pillow, hitting it a few times, "It must be Gu Mingzhu, that clingy pest."

Bo Xichen chuckled, "I’ll go take a look."

He patted her lightly, "Go shower."

The little darling immediately bounced up and ran to take a fragrant bath...

Bo Xichen opened the door, and sure enough, it was Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu ignored Bo Xiaoshu’s attire and just looked for Gu Anxi, glanced around, no sight of her, "Where’s Gu Anxi?"

Bo Xichen smiled, "She went to shower."

Only then did Gu Mingzhu notice his bathrobe and somewhat suspicious neck... Her mouth trembled slightly, "Beast!"

Then she yelled annoyed, "She’s still sick."

"She’s already better." Bo Xiaoshu was quite composed, "Anxi and I are husband and wife."

Gu Mingzhu shouted, "Even so, you can’t, you can’t..."

She called out to inside, "Gu Anxi, I’m hungry, I didn’t bring pajamas, and I’m short a pair of sneakers."

Gu Anxi must have heard, as a voice came from inside, "Come find me in two hours."

Gu Mingzhu covered her face and ran away.

Bo Xichen closed the door with a smile, not looking as he did earlier, changed into a set of clothes to sit on the sofa and handle affairs. After a while, Gu Anxi also finished her shower and came out, all fresh in sportswear, he noticed it was somewhat thick.

His eyes dimmed as he beckoned, "Come over."

She murmured and went to sit beside him, his palm touched her wound, asking hoarsely, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn’t hurt anymore." Gu Anxi leaned against his shoulder, acting spoiled, "Uncle, I’m hungry."

"Alright, I’ll take you to eat." She chirped and ran to the door to put on shoes, but right before leaving she got pressed against the door panel by someone, swallowed hard, and called like a kitten, "Uncle?"

Bo Xichen’s fingers caressed her little face, without speaking, just his gaze became somewhat predatory...

As they left, Gu Anxi quietly said he’s transformed, and Uncle Bo laughed quite happily.

When they went downstairs and saw Bo Nianyao, astonishingly, Gu Mingzhu was already there, being very well-behaved, coaxing a slight smile out of Bo Nianyao.

Gu Anxi was about to call out when she saw an old acquaintance, none other than the beautiful Lu Xueman.

She whispered to Bo Xichen, "Nianyao’s dad rekindling old flames, huh."

Time for another little essay tonight.

However, this time Lu Xueman was clearly more restrained, probably due to her son being there.

"Nianyao, who would’ve thought we booked the same hotel, we’ll have lots of chances for tea and chat in the future." Lu Xueman spoke mildly, quite appropriately.

Yet another coincidental meeting, having a meal with old friends was normal too, luckily Lu Ze wasn’t around, otherwise there would surely be sparks flying.

The private room was booked at the hotel’s best Glorious Hall, six people dining, but with the scale of a twenty-person meal, mostly exchanges of pleasantries, all recalling past events and whatnot, quite boring, coupled with a pair of eyes with ill intentions, Gu Anxi felt bored and told Bo Dad and Uncle, before running out to play on her own.

Just exited the hotel, when the clingy pest’s voice sounded behind, "Gu Anxi, where are you going?"

Gu Anxi waved her hand, "Don’t follow me."

Gu Mingzhu stomped her foot, but insisted on following, not only did she follow, but clung to her hand, "I’ll follow you, you can’t shake me off, Gu Anxi."

Gu Anxi turned around, "Big sis, if you’re too bored, write a book or find a boyfriend to accompany you. Why stick to me all day? Please continue to hate me, continue to target me! I’m begging you, because I really can’t adjust to this behavior."

Gu Mingzhu still held onto her, refusing to let go.

But her eyes already carried some tears.

"Such a little white lotus." Gu Anxi pushed her hand away, "Alright, alright, follow if you want, just don’t cry."

She walked ahead, Gu Mingzhu followed behind, quietly saying, "I’m not full yet. Also, I want to buy pajamas, buy shoes, and I don’t have any money."

Gu Anxi glanced at her, "Where’s your money?"

"Left in a hurry, didn’t bring anything, but brother knows I’m with you, he’s pretty relieved." Gu Mingzhu hurriedly said.

Gu Anxi gave her a look, then continued walking ahead, while Gu Mingzhu trailed behind disobediently, "Shall we go eat?"

Gu Anxi reluctantly agreed.

They found a famous restaurant, and in the end, the reluctant one ended up eating double what Gu Mingzhu did, leaving Gu Mingzhu dumbfounded. Gu Anxi can really eat, doesn’t she ever get fat?

Gu Anxi paid the bill and continued shopping. As she spent money, Gu Mingzhu had to carry the bags. Being pampered since childhood, she couldn’t endure this. Stomping her feet and crying didn’t help; Gu Anxi just said if she didn’t like it, she could leave...

Gu Mingzhu held back, sticking to her like glue.

By four in the afternoon, they were finally tired and ordered a dessert at a café, as a small treat for Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Anxi ordered a Frappuccino, swinging her long legs happily.

Not far away, Qin Siyuan had just finished a meeting. As he prepared to leave, he saw Gu Anxi sitting there. Surprised, he smiled and walked over, placing his briefcase on the table. "What brings you to Jiang City?"

Gu Anxi turned her head, startled. "Qin Siyuan, what are you doing in Jiang City?"

"There’s a branch office here. I’ve been around recently," Qin Siyuan said calmly, then glanced at Gu Mingzhu. "Is this... your sister?"

He had heard a bit about the Gu family from Qin Siling but didn’t expect Gu Mingzhu to be with Gu Anxi, and they seemed to get along well.

Gu Anxi also looked at Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu pretended not to care, but she was quite nervous inside. If Gu Anxi said they weren’t related, she felt she wouldn’t have the face to keep tagging along. But Gu Anxi let out a light "hmm".

That "hmm" wasn’t very friendly, but it was an acknowledgment.

Gu Mingzhu’s eyes lit up completely; if Qin Siyuan weren’t there, she would have hugged her.

Qin Siyuan found it amusing too. He reached into his pocket, possibly considering smoking but abandoned the idea, smiling, "Want to have dinner together tonight? We can invite Professor Bo, I heard he’s in Jiang City too."

Gu Anxi suddenly thought of Lu Xueman and laughed out loud.

Qin Siyuan was puzzled, and Gu Mingzhu softly said, "There’s already a long-lost reunion at the hotel."

Qin Siyuan looked at Gu Anxi.

Gu Anxi leaned on the table, laughing uncontrollably, and finally said, "It’s an elder’s matter."

Qin Siyuan’s gaze remained on her face, silent but full of longing.

Gu Mingzhu, seeing his expression, felt a bit sour... Why do so many people like Gu Anxi!

In the end, they didn’t have dinner together with Qin Siyuan. On the way back, Gu Mingzhu carried a large bag of items, following behind Gu Anxi. "Aren’t you afraid Brother Xichen will be mad meeting Qin Siyuan?"

"Afraid." Gu Anxi smiled sweetly, "I’m more afraid of you tattling."

"I won’t." Gu Mingzhu bit her lip, "I just think you should keep your distance from him. Didn’t you see how fervently he looked at you? He just can’t, can’t forget you."

Gu Anxi wore her sunglasses, "Really?"

Appearing indifferent, Gu Mingzhu got a bit annoyed, "Don’t you feel anything?"

"Why should I feel anything? It’s his issue if he can’t forget, why should it affect me?" Gu Anxi said, seeming puzzled.

Gu Mingzhu stomped her feet, "You’re so... wasteful..."

"I support you in winning him over." Gu Anxi smiled sweetly.

Gu Mingzhu stomped her foot and ran off, the bags not feeling so heavy anymore as she sped away.

Because it was all her stuff, Gu Anxi ignored her and prepared to call her uncle, but as soon as she took out her phone, it was snatched away by a hand...

She looked up, the handsome face in front of her carried a hint of coldness. "Met your ex-boyfriend?"

Gu Anxi frowned, "Give me back my phone."

"I asked you, is that man your ex-boyfriend?" Lu Heng took a step forward, trapping her against the corridor wall, enclosing her. If it were anyone else, Gu Anxi would have slapped him, but Lu Heng was a bit of a madman, so she didn’t react rashly. She calmly said, "Dr. Lu, it’s none of your business. Besides, if anyone should ask, it’s my uncle, not you."

"Really?" Lu Heng lowered his head, his fingers gently touching a deep-colored spot on her neck, his voice suddenly hoarse, "Is this Bo Xichen’s doing?"

Gu Anxi leaned against the wall, not daring to move.

Lu Heng slowly spoke, "Junior brother Bo has always been ascetic, never thought he’d end up like this one day."

He leaned closer, "How much love can one have in a year? Tell me."

Gu Anxi’s eyes fixed on him, she chuckled, "Dr. Lu, I suggest you check out neurology."

She lifted her leg and gave him a hard shove. Lu Heng was forced to let go, but quickly caught hold of her hair again, pinning her back on the wall.

Gu Anxi leaned against the wall, stopped struggling, and calmly said, "Aunt Lu is right behind you. Are you sure you want to do something that will anger her?"

Lu Heng froze, instinctively turned to look.

His hand loosened, and Gu Anxi already snatched back her phone, sidestepping to press an alarm button.

Lu Heng cursed under his breath...

He wanted to follow her but held back, considering it too risky.

By the time Gu Anxi got upstairs, she was already out of breath. She swiped her card and leaned against the door, pondering.

This won’t do, Lu Heng is also staying here and can catch her anytime.

After thinking it over, she decided to discuss with Father Bo about staying in her villa in Jiang City.

Of course, the villa was a gift from Old Wang...
