The brief conversation finally came to an end.
Gu Tong’s thoughts, however, were pulled far away.
It turned out that Qiu Xue had been targeting her for so long, and even Cheng Bing had already noticed, while she was the only one kept in the dark.
Indeed, Qiu Xue’s ruthlessness was not accidental; her knack for scheming seemed innate.
However, she thought she had not offended Qiu Xue, and the Gu Family had no conflict of interest with them. Why had Qiu Xue been targeting her all this time? Gu Tong couldn’t figure it out.
However, she couldn’t just sit and wait for death; she had to take the initiative and first break through Qiu Xue’s weaknesses.
"What are you thinking about?" An elongated voice full of masculine hormones.
"Ah..." Gu Tong was startled, and her train of thought was interrupted. She quickly turned her head, only to find Li Yan frowning as if deep in thought, and said, "I was thinking about the things at the Academy..."
What about the Academy could have her so focused? He had called her several times, but she didn’t notice.
"Aren’t I more or less selected by the other two groups? I was thinking about the upcoming training, and there are the patients at the Medical Center; they’re all tricky issues."
"Just because of that?"
Li Yan clearly showed some disbelief as he gazed at Gu Tong for a moment and noticed her determined expression. He said flatly, "If it’s because of that, you shouldn’t overthink! You’re in Class One, and anyone who wants to borrow you must get my permission. If you don’t want to go, just push it onto me."
"Uh..." It seemed to be the case, she said, "But I’ve never been a personal trainee before, and I don’t know what a personal trainee does. What if I can’t do it well...?"
"You don’t have to worry about that; isn’t there an assistant leader?"
All the matters in Class One had always been handled by the assistant leader; he was the deputy of Class One and also a trusted personal trainee for Li Yan.
Thus, Gu Tong, as this so-called personal trainee, was virtually a non-existent position.
Li Yan always weighed the pros and cons before implementing anything. If he hadn’t thought about Gu Tong’s arrangement, he wouldn’t have allowed her into Class One.
"Since you’ve got it all arranged, I’m relieved."
Gu Tong exhaled a long breath, wrapping her arms around Li Yan’s arm, and said affectionately, "Honey, it’s so good to have you; you think about everything for me. In front of you, I’m like a little child, who doesn’t need to learn anything~"
Li Yan’s dark eyes paused slightly, staring at Gu Tong as if he wanted to poke a hole through her, but he didn’t resist. Instead, he allowed her to act spoilt and mischievous, saying, "With me, are you really at ease?"
"Of course, I’m very at ease."
Gu Tong stated firmly, even tightening her little fist to show her resolute heart.
Li Yan’s big hand rested atop her head, stroking her smooth black hair, and said, "That’s good!"
He hoped that everything Gu Tong said was true and that there were no deceptions. He also hoped, as she said, that he could shield her from the storm.
Rather than the current situation where he always felt she had a lot on her mind but never mentioned anything to him, almost treating him like an outsider!
Gu Tong lay on Li Yan’s lap, obedient like a little kitten. All her thoughts dissipated entirely, and she dared not think of anything else. The Earl of her family had an extraordinary keen sense.
In the future, she had to be especially careful, making sure not to reveal any flaws in front of him...
Of course, Gu Tong didn’t mean to deliberately hide from him. It’s just that many things happened in a previous life, and now she had no evidence, so she could only proceed step by step, striving to catch the fox’s tail.
Gu Tong suddenly thought of something and once again fell into deep thought.
