Gu Anxi lay there, her body slightly curled up. Despite her tall stature, she somehow always gave him the impression of being small.
After observing for a moment, he stood up, picked her up, and placed her on a plush couch by the floor-to-ceiling windows. A large green plant behind the couch blocked the sunlight.
Bo Xichen fetched a coat and gently placed it over her.
After doing all this, he suddenly turned around.
Feng Mian was standing behind him.
Feng Mian’s expression was difficult to interpret, and he said softly, "She looks like a stray kitten, doesn’t she?"
Bo Xichen’s gaze returned to Gu Anxi’s face. His voice was slow and deliberate. "Don’t you think she’s simply exhausted, just looking for a safe place to sleep?"
Feng Mian grinned. "Well then, Young Master Bo, Dr. Bo, Professor Bo, congratulations on being chosen by her."
Bo Xichen’s handsome Adam’s apple moved slightly. "Ask Fengxi where Gu Anxi went."
Feng Mian pulled out a communicator and typed a message.
About five minutes later, Fengxi replied:
[Gu Anxi went to the Qin Group, took over the system W had hacked, and Gu Anxi’s account increased by 50,000,000.]
"Damn." After reading it, Feng Mian handed the communicator to his Family Head and rubbed his chin. "The kid’s got skills!"
After reading the message, Bo Xichen’s gaze fell on Gu Anxi’s face once more. He then murmured to Feng Mian, "Get everything ready. I’m going to examine her."
Feng Mian was taken aback. "She’s perfectly fine. What is there to examine? You can just carry her to the outpatient building."
"Here," Bo Xichen’s voice grew even lower. "Now. Immediately."
Feng Mian was completely bewildered, but he still went into the laboratory to prepare and sterilize the area...
When Bo Xichen came in carrying Gu Anxi, Feng Mian stared at her beautiful face, extremely puzzled. "Heavens, she still hasn’t woken up."
"Her current state is even deeper than deep sleep." A peculiar light flickered in Bo Xichen’s icy eyes. "She knows this herself, which is why she came to me. I believe the school is also one of the places she uses to catch up on sleep, because it’s safe."
Feng Mian looked rather shocked. "Is... is she ill with something?"
Bo Xichen didn’t answer him. Instead, he carefully placed Gu Anxi on an examination table. His gaze rested on her face, then he said to Feng Mian in a low voice, "You can go out first."
Feng Mian was startled and swallowed hard.
Damn, what kind of examination is this? It even requires clearing the room.
[Official Banter: Feng Mian, it’s exactly what you’re thinking~~]
When Gu Anxi woke up, it was already two in the afternoon.
Opening her eyes, she found herself on a very comfortable couch, the warm sunlight bathing her.
A man’s jacket was also covering her.
She sat up, and her gaze fell on Bo Xichen.
He was sitting in the same spot as when she had arrived, still reading his papers. Likely sensing her gaze, he asked calmly, "Awake?"
Gu Anxi placed the jacket neatly on the back of the couch, walked over, and said, "Thank you."
Then she turned to leave.
Bo Xichen looked up. "Leaving already?"
He tossed a small bottle to her, which Gu Anxi instinctively caught.
In her palm rested a small jade bottle, the kind that might hold some ointment. It had no label.
She carefully opened it. Inside was a crystal-clear, jade-green ointment that exuded a very refreshing fragrance.
"Apply it once a day, and the scar will disappear within half a month," he said nonchalantly.
