After he finished speaking, he walked straight into the door, and Feng Mian followed.
Qin Siyuan couldn’t figure out how they had entered; regardless, when he tried, the way in was barred.
In the moonlight, he stood alone under the street lamp, pondering Bo Xichen’s words.
Had he disappointed Gu Anxi?
He too had waited. Only, waiting for someone was too endless, too painful.
He didn’t even know if he could wait for that person to return, so between an endless wait and readily available tenderness, he chose the latter.
He never dared to ask himself if he regretted it. He also didn’t dare to think about whether he still liked Gu Anxi, or if he liked her even more than Shen Wanqing!
He didn’t dare to think, because the moment he did, he felt he would go mad; he was afraid he couldn’t control himself.
Right now, he felt like he was going insane.
Anyone could approach Gu Anxi; only he couldn’t get close. Gu Anxi never said anything, but he knew she looked down on him.
Qin Siyuan left abruptly.
That night, he drank too much for the first time, stumbled into Gu Anxi’s former room, and slept on her bed.
His fingers caressed the cold pillow. He knew she wouldn’t return.
Later, the commotion became quite loud, and Mr. and Mrs. Qin Han, as well as Qin Siling, were all awakened.
Seeing Qin Siyuan , everyone in the Qin family knew in their hearts why. Qin Han sighed, returned to his room with his wife, leaving Qin Siling to take care of Qin Siyuan.
Seeing Qin Siyuan in this state pained Qin Siling, and she gently stroked his forehead, "You fool, Wanqing is the one for you. She’s obedient, sensible, and talented. Why are you still thinking about Gu Anxi? Besides fighting, attending classes, and sleeping, she has nothing else. Siyuan, do as your sister says, forget her."
She said many things, but Qin Siyuan just lay there, his eyes open but not making a sound; it was unclear if he had heard any of it.
Seeing him , Qin Siling despised Gu Anxi even more.
It seems that not only is Gu Anxi incompetent, but she also has such a way with men, making Siyuan lose his wits.
Fortunately, by the next day, Qin Siyuan was completely normal, as if nothing had happened.
The Qin family, of course, wouldn’t tell Shen Wanqing about this.
After Qin Siyuan left, Bo Xichen quietly looked out the window.
Feng Mian poured him a glass of ice water. "That kid Qin Siyuan has a thing for the little girl?"
Bo Xichen didn’t respond.
Feng Mian coughed lightly. "Should we stir up some trouble for the Qin family?" If the Qin family is in chaos, that kid won’t have time to come looking for trouble.
Bo Xichen glanced at him, and Feng Mian felt a sudden chill.
Finally, his master spoke, "Go investigate the villa the Gu family is auctioning, as well as the ’Jade Water Yun Tian’ project."
Feng Mian couldn’t help asking, "Young Master Bo, are you planning to buy it as a betrothal gift for the little girl?"
His ice-like eyes lowered. "Gu Anxi is only twenty years old." Then he shot Feng Mian a look that carried a hint of blame.
Feng Mian quickly shut up and went about his work.
Bo Xichen entered the lab, which Feng Mian had already tidied up.
He put on gloves, moved the cover aside—
The blood vessel was cut neatly, and the incision was precisely one-half, no more, no less.
Even many professional doctors might not possess this level of skill.
Bo Xichen quietly looked at it for a while, then returned to his bedroom.
The little girl was still sleeping soundly, her posture unchanged. He smiled, dimmed the light for her, then left to continue his unfinished experiment.
Gu Anxi woke as the sky was just beginning to lighten, opening her eyes to unfamiliar surroundings. It was predominantly white but possessed a certain style.
