Chapter 135: Chapter 134: Such Unique Hobbies?
Back in Nancheng, Chi Gui took a taxi straight home.
After being away for two days, Chi Gui had barely opened the door when a robot’s synthetic arm embraced her, “Fairy Sister, welcome home! Little Guai has been guarding our home very well!”
“Good job,” Chi Gui patted Little Guai on the head.
Little Guai immediately began playing a cheerful song.
After Chi Gui took a shower, she sat on the sofa, and Little Guai very considerately poured her a glass of water.
She took a sip of water, picked up her phone, and replied to a message from a colleague at the research institute.
Hearing that Professor Chi had actually participated in that kind of student competition, everyone was quite incredulous.
When they heard she was coming to Capital City for the finals, someone proudly said, “I’m one of the judges for the finals, if you need anything, just let me know.”
Chi Gui, “Don’t cheat.”
Chi Yan also returned to the Chi Family.
Approaching noon, Zhao Yuexiu had already instructed the cooking to be done early, preparing a whole table of Chi Yan’s favorite dishes.
Even Chi Changjing and Chi Mingkun specially came home to celebrate with her.
The atmosphere at the dining table was very pleasant.
Until Chi Mingkun asked with concern, “Sister Chi Gui participated in the competition too, right? What place did she get?”
Chi Yan’s grip on her cup tightened slightly.
Zhao Yuexiu frowned, “Ming Kun, this is a celebration for your sister, why bring up irrelevant people?”
Chi Changjing glanced at her and said sternly, “Chi Gui is our daughter, how is she irrelevant?”
“Haven’t the relations been severed?” Zhao Yuexiu muttered discontentedly, “With her level, going there is just to make up the numbers…”
Seeing the atmosphere at the table becoming tense, Chi Yan lowered her eyes and said softly with a light laugh, “Sister performed very well, she got second place.”
Zhao Yuexiu and Chi Changjing were immediately shocked.
Chi Mingkun was both shocked and pleased, “My sister is really amazing!”
Although he had always believed Chi Gui wouldn’t be eliminated, he hadn’t expected her to get second place.
Chi Changjing also smiled, “Ming Kun, remember to congratulate your sister.”
Now, Chi Gui had blocked the calls from everyone else except Chi Mingkun.
“Of course,” Chi Mingkun nodded.
“Alright, alright, this is Yanyan’s celebration banquet, why do you keep bringing up Chi Gui?” Zhao Yuexiu interrupted the conversation.
But following that, the atmosphere at the dining table just wasn’t as cheerful as before.
Chi Yan quietly bowed her head to eat, clutching her chopsticks tightly, her fingertips turning white.
After chatting with her colleagues at the research institute, Chi Gui had a simple meal and was getting ready for a nap when she received a gift sent to her door by Chi Mingkun. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novèlfire.net
He had the self-awareness not to come in person to annoy Chi Gui, instead he used a courier service.
Chi Gui signed for the package, cut it open with scissors, and saw a… uniquely styled Wenquxing doll…
Sending this… was he expecting her to worship the doll?
She picked up her phone and sent Chi Mingkun a message.
Soon, she received his reply, “Sister, Wenquxing is in charge of studies, right? If you worship it every day, you’re guaranteed to triumph in the competition, no one will be able to beat you!”
Is this the terrifying straight man’s way of gifting?
But after all, it was someone’s thoughtful gesture, although Chi Gui had no plans of worshipping it, she still placed it on the sofa.
That evening, when Fu Si came over as usual for a meal, he instantly noticed the prominent Wenquxing doll.
He fell silent for a moment before speaking in disbelief, “Do you… kind of doll?”
Chi Gui’s interests and hobbies, were they really that unique?
Chi Gui brought out the dishes, glancing indifferently at the doll, “Not really, it was a gift from someone, to bless me with victory in the competition.”
Fu Si narrowed his eyes slightly.
This sort of eyesore, one could tell it wasn’t something a girl would send.
In just a short time he was unattentive, had someone taken advantage of the situation?
