Wang Keru froze. Then, a slender figure crashed into her arms. She spoke in a daze, "Anxi, are you really..."
In Wang Keru’s memory, Anxi had never acted before—acting spoiled and cute!
But she’s so soft and adorable ... Wang Keru couldn’t help but pat her little head.
Is this what it feels like to have a child?
After seeing Wang Keru off, Gu Anxi returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and opened the bag of snacks Wang Keru had brought. She nibbled on them cheerfully, like a little mouse.
Bo Xichen’s call came through, and she picked it up casually. "Bo Xichen, you haven’t slept yet?"
On the other end, Bo Xichen stood on his bedroom terrace. Leaning against the railing, he gazed into the distance and chuckled softly. "Not yet. And you?"
Gu Anxi stared at the TV. "I haven’t either."
"Have you missed me?" he suddenly asked softly. Chapters fırst released on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩
Gu Anxi’s nibbling slowed, and she spoke deliberately, "My mom came over. She said that when choosing a man, one needs to observe and test him patiently..."
"So?" Bo Xichen laughed softly, sounding very pleased.
Gu Anxi hummed in agreement. "I think what she said is quite reasonable. We should listen to our elders."
A sudden warmth surged through Bo Xichen’s heart. His voice, more seductive than the night itself, purred, "You also call me ’Uncle.’ Am I not an elder in your eyes?"
Gu Anxi didn’t make a sound, just kept nibbling on her snacks.
Bo Xichen smiled. "I kind of miss my little one back home! Gu Anxi, good night."
Gu Anxi was momentarily speechless. After a long pause, she finally muttered, "Um... I received your allowance."
He laughed. "What are your thoughts on that?"
Gu Anxi sighed. "My main takeaway is that I don’t want to strive so hard anymore!"
Bo Xichen’s smile deepened, as warm and inviting as a spring breeze dispelling the dark night...
Afterward, Gu Anxi’s memory became a bit hazy; she only remembered Bo Xichen telling her again to pick him up at the airport.
The next day, Gu Anxi skipped class to pick him up. She drove his flashy car to the airport. Bo Xichen was scheduled to land at ten o’clock sharp; Feng Mian was on a different flight.
At the arrival gate, Gu Anxi was scrolling through her phone out of boredom. A message from Chu Yan popped up—
[There’s betting going on at Qing University now—a bet on whether you’ll be eliminated in the first round of the election. Most are betting you’ll lose, Miss No-Pass.]
[Gu Anxi, how should I bet?]
[Should I hack into the school’s education network and change your scores? Gu Anxi~~ Baby~~ Reply~~]
Gu Anxi typed a few words in reply—
[I will study day and night!]
On the other end, Chu Yan’s jaw nearly dropped. There was only half a month left; what use would studying day and night be? Still, he decided to bet on Gu Anxi. If all else failed, he could always hack the network.
At the airport, just as Gu Anxi was about to put her phone away, a slender finger flicked her forehead. She looked up—
Doctor Bo and she were separated by a railing. He just stood there, watching her without speaking.
Bo Xichen stood 184 cm tall. With his strikingly handsome features, impressive physique, and dignified aura, he truly seemed out of place as the center of everyone’s attention.
Gu Anxi looked up. "Why aren’t you coming over?"
She had already noticed many girls surreptitiously glancing at him from all around, which felt strange.
Bo Xichen chuckled softly, walked around from the exit to her side, and casually draped an arm around her shoulder. Gu Anxi whispered, "My mom said..."
"It’s a little late for that now that you’ve already accepted the allowance, isn’t it?" he laughed. Then, amidst the bustling airport, he leaned in towards her...
