Chapter 16
Gu Xiao secretly swore that she would study hard in this life.
Although there was a lot of knowledge she didnโt know, with a walking encyclopedia like Chu An, Gu Xiao could just turn her head and ask him anything she didnโt understand.
Although Chu An often put on a reluctant expression, he would still patiently explain to her every time. Even if Gu Xiaoโs question was very basic and retarded, he didnโt sound impatient at all.
When other students saw Chu An start teaching, they would also bring their own questions to Chu An. However, he didnโt answer any of them and dismissed them perfunctorily.
This way, there were even more rumors in school.
From day to night, Gu Xiao noticed that as long as anyone saw her or Chu An, they would whisper to their schoolmates beside them.
All the students were gossiping, except for two people. One was Ji Yao. The more she saw Gu Xiao and Chu Anโs frequent interactions, the angrier she became. Even if she covered her ears at the desk and refused to listen, the studentsโ discussions would still enter her ears.
She felt that everything that belonged to her seemed to be slowly snatched away by Gu Xiao, this wild girl who came out of nowhere. Her opportunities, her reputation, her popularity, and even the person she liked.
Ji Yaoโs disgust for Gu Xiao kept rising.
The other was Meng Fei. Unlike Ji Yao, Meng Fei did not have much hostility towards Gu Xiao. She only looked down on every poor person equally, and she had no interest in Chu An. She only vaguely remembered seeing this person when she was young.
The Meng family used to have a collaboration with the Chu family. When Meng Feiโs father brought Meng Fei to visit the Chu family, he brought some supplements. Later on, she found out that the second young master of the Chu family was weak and sickly, and that young master was Chu An.
In Meng Feiโs eyes, Chu An was a sickly person, so she naturally didnโt care too much about him.
Throughout the day, the intimate interaction between Gu Xiao and Chu An had spread throughout the entire campus, but the two protagonists were confused. Gu Xiaoโs original intention wasnโt to be in the limelight, and continuing to become the center of attention was not something that Gu Xiao wished to see.
She wanted to profit in silence.
However, she didnโt know how to tell Chu An. It was her that had taken the initiative to consult him so how could it be that when he was clearly kind and patiently helping her, she had to say, โDonโt help me anymore. If you want to help, you have to help me in a place that others canโt see.โ
Come on, this was obviously even stranger!!
โHuh? What are you thinking about?โ Chu An was explaining a question to Gu Xiao.
โNothing.โ
Chu An was silent for a while. He took Gu Xiaoโs notebook and wrote a number on it. โMy social media account. If you donโt understand anything in the future, just look for me.โ
โUhโฆโ Although Gu Xiao really wanted to thank Chu An, she didnโt have a phone at all, so giving her an account number would just be a waste.
โMy spare phone. Take it and use it. The school dormitory allows moderate use of the phone.โ Chu An took out a new-looking phone from his bag. โPassword: 1111.โ
Chu An held the phone in his hand for a long time, but he didnโt feel anyone pulling it away, so he looked up at Gu Xiao and saw how the surprise in her eyes was about to overflow.
โWhat? Donโt think too much. I justโฆโ Chu Anโs cheeks suddenly turned slightly red. โAnyway, Iโm not familiar with you!โ
With that, he put down her phone and rushed out of the classroom.
Both Chen Li and Lin Xue had ambiguous smiles on their faces, while An Yang was still studying the additional questions taught by the teacher during the lesson.
There was only the sound of โEh~โ from her surroundings, and Gu Xiao, whose mind was in a complete mess.
No, why do you like to keep trying to cover up for yourself so much?!
After a day of studying, Gu Xiao felt extremely tired. It was already 9:30 pm when she finished her evening self-study. The students returned to the classroom one after another.
Chu An was also a dormitory student. Originally, his roommates didnโt talk to him much because he had the aura of a prodigy, so no one dared to approach him.
But something like this happened todayโฆ The other two people in the dorm pretended to cough in an attempt to attract Chu Anโs attention.
โIf youโre sick, get treatment.โ
โChu An, why are you still so sharp-tongued? Weโve known each other for several months, but weโve never seen you like this.โ A boy in sportswear hooked his arm around Chu Anโs neck. โTell me, whatโs going on with Gu Xiao?โ
โThatโs right,โ another slightly fat boy chimed in, drawing near.
โWhatโs wrong? Am I treating her abnormally?โ Chu An was puzzled.
The two of them turned pale with shock. Chu An seemed to have some deviation in his understanding of normalcy.
โDonโt ask what you shouldnโt ask. Prepare for tomorrowโs weekly Mathematics test. If you fail again, Teacher Xu said that he wonโt let you two off.โ
โI forgot about that!โ
