Campus Ace Girl

The next day.

While Gu Anxi was painting her latest artwork at home, Lin Shuang came over.

In the quiet hall, it was just the two of them.

Lin Shuang looked at the peaceful young girl in front of her. It was hard to imagine she was the same Little Gu who stirred up such a whirlwind in Beicheng. But Lin Shuang was experienced, calmly sipping her tea and patiently waiting for the girl to be ready to stop.

Finally, Gu Anxi finished painting Da Hui, then looked up with a gentle smile: "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Lin Shuang smiled slightly: "No problem."

Gu Anxi glanced at the suitcase next to Lin Shuang: "About to head back to Beicheng?"

After a slight pause, she asked again: "Aren’t you going to see my second uncle one last time?"

Lin Shuang replied with a calm demeanor: "No, it’s good as it is."

Gu Anxi nodded in agreement: "That’s good too."

After saying that, she took a document from the side and handed it to Lin Shuang: "Take a look at this. If there’s no issue, you can sign it, and I’ll have my lawyer take care of it later."

Lin Shuang took it, reviewed it thoroughly, and was very satisfied: "Thank you, Little Gu."

"You deserve it." Gu Anxi watched as she signed, then signed herself and put the papers away, finally saying a few personal words: "Since you’re currently alone, why not consider my second uncle?"

Lin Shuang showed a touch of melancholy, "Little Gu, when you reach my age, you’ll probably make the same choice as I have."

Gu Anxi was slightly taken aback, then smiled gently: "I trust you."

She hadn’t interacted much with Lin Shuang, but knew that she was indeed an excellent woman. Therefore, she didn’t say more and personally saw her to the door...

Before departure, Lin Shuang turned her head to look at her: "Little Gu, you and I think differently."

"How do you imagine it?"

Lin Shuang thought for a moment: "Spending extravagantly, acting recklessly."

"You’re bold in saying that." Gu Anxi laughed, standing tall: "Then Deputy Lin, see you in Beicheng."

Lin Shuang replied seriously: "Alright."

As Lin Shuang left, she inadvertently saw Bo Xichen slowly walking down from the second floor, seemingly having just taken a nap, which made him appear slightly lazy, yet unable to hide his inherent charm.

Suddenly, she understood why Little Gu didn’t seem aggressive: it was because she had a man like Bo Xichen by her side, gentle as jade.

Lin Shuang left with a faint smile.

Bo Xichen descended to Gu Anxi’s side and casually sat down, patting her little head: "Where’s your mom?"

"A guest came just now, so she avoided it, probably napping now." Gu Anxi naturally leaned on his shoulder, tilting her little head, "Lin Shuang came by, she’s returned to Beicheng."

Bo Xichen moved her notebook over, looked at the little gray rabbit on the screen, raising an eyebrow: "Is this our son?"

"What are you talking about, this is the child of Da Hui and Miss Bunny." Gu Anxi scoffed lightly: "Ours is a baby girl."

Bo Xichen chuckled, taking a closer look at the painting, indeed finding it good.

Only then did Gu Anxi remember, complaining: "I was talking about Lin Shuang."

Bo Xichen, nonchalantly: "Shouldn’t this be discussed with your second uncle? By the way, doesn’t he know Lin Shuang’s leaving?"

Gu Anxi propped her little head up, "Hmm... I think he knows, just pretends not to know. This time he’s probably heartbroken."

Uncle Bo suddenly looked up from the notebook, quietly watching her.

Gu Anxi was slightly stunned, stammering: "Wh-why are you looking at me like that?"

Bo Xichen chuckled gently, closed her notebook, and then carried her upstairs...

Winter was cordial, and the house was warm.

By dinner time, Gu Anxi bundled up in a thick coat and leaned on the terrace, watching the snow swirling in the sky, softly saying: "Uncle, there sure is a lot of snow in Jiangcheng."

He hugged her from behind, "This year’s snow is heavier, it’s also heavy in Beicheng."

She turned to look at him briefly, staying silent, pondering if Lin Shuang had reached Beicheng by now, wondering if her second uncle had gone to see her off at the airport.

In fact, Wang Kegui indeed went, but didn’t let Lin Shuang know, just standing far away in the terminal, watching her from a distance, watching her get the ticket, watching her go through the security check.

He stood there for a long while before turning to leave.

Perhaps he knew why she approached him, she had long told him they wouldn’t be together, and indeed, he didn’t force it either... Maybe because when he was young, he truly let her down, he had once given up...

At this moment, Gu Anxi’s mind was elsewhere, Uncle Bo was a bit dissatisfied, gently patting her: "I’ve worked all afternoon, and you’re still thinking about others?"

Gu Anxi gazed at him, saying nothing. Eventually, she obediently laid her little head on his chest, softly saying: "I want to invite Mingzhu over for dinner during the New Year."

He reached out to pat her little head: "If you like, then invite her."

Gu Anxi laughed foolishly: "Do you like Qin Siyuan?"

He gave her a playful swat: "You’re mischievous."

After saying that, he too chuckled, reaching out to cuddle her as they watched the fine snow outside, after a while, he spoke hoarsely: "I’ll try to return to Beicheng early."

She responded with an "oh" very obediently.

Later, they quietly watched the gentle falling snow together, she softly asked him: "Uncle, will there be New Year’s money this year?"

He looked down at her, then smiled slightly: "There might be."

She hugged him, her voice soft: "I want three portions this year."

Bo Xichen just smiled, without saying anything further.
