Wang Keru spoke kindly to Bo Xichen, "My daughter Anxi is diligent. She earned four degrees by the age of 16. It’s a relief for me as a mother."
Bo Xichen maintained his calm demeanor, "Hmm, I am currently teaching Anxi medical knowledge. She should be capable of performing general surgical operations. I hope that, one day, she can perform surgery herself for her uncle."
Wang Keru was stunned. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she said nothing, just lowered her head and continued to eat her meal quietly.
After eating another bowl of rice, she said softly, "Then you must teach Anxi well."
"I will," Bo Xichen said with a small smile. Indeed, he found that Gu Anxi had a natural talent in medicine—no, she was quick to learn in every field.
Normally, a genius would be limited to excelling in a single field, but Gu Anxi was not like that. She excelled in all fields!!!
Perhaps in the future, her accomplishments in medicine would surpass his own.
Bo Xichen chatted with Wang Keru and Grandma Chen for a while, then went upstairs to fetch Gu Anxi. She came down and watched TV with him for a bit. Around nine, Gu Anxi’s phone rang.
She answered it. It was Principal Wang calling personally. He got straight to the point, "Anxi, why didn’t you do well on this exam? What happened to your usual talent... you just barely passed each subject, not a point more, not a point less!"
Leaning against Bo Xichen’s shoulder, Gu Anxi responded with a casual ’oh,’ before saying, "Someone said I wouldn’t pass. I just wanted to prove her wrong."
Principal Wang on the other end cursed inwardly. He’d worried about this little rascal for nothing—her ability to control her scores this precisely was truly perverse!
Not only did Principal Wang curse inwardly, but everyone at Qing University was baffled as well.
Gu Anxi was a sophomore who had taken a year off, yet she passed exams for fourth-year, non-major subjects. Amazingly, she scored exactly on the passing line for each one, thereby harshly disproving Shen Wanqing’s prediction.
Before, Shen had confidently claimed that Gu Anxi wouldn’t pass.
That night, everyone on Qing University’s forum was discussing this extraordinary event. Unconcerned, Gu Anxi hung up the phone, stretched, and said to Bo Xichen, "I’m going to bed now. You should head home."
Bo Xichen just smiled. "I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning."
Gu Anxi was already halfway up the staircase when she stopped, looked at him, and said, "Forget it, just stay here tonight."
But he got up, tossed her the car keys, and said in a slightly lower voice, "Drive yourself tomorrow! I have to conduct an experiment when I get home. Go to bed early."
This sudden, serious and gentle demeanor of his was something Gu Anxi had always found irresistible. She replied with a simple, "Mmm."
Bo Xichen then ruffled her hair. "You have another exam tomorrow. Once the scores are out, I’ll buy you a new car to get around in."
She responded with another ’oh’.
He said, "It’s a reward. Don’t be naughty and mess up the exam."
Gu Anxi looked up at him, feeling reluctant to part with him for the first time.
Bo Xichen gently patted her head again. His feelings for Gu Anxi were certainly not just physical; he liked her in a way that was deep and enduring. Therefore, he was in no rush for certain things...
After saying goodbye to the two elders, he finally left.
Feng Mian’s car was already waiting outside. Watching Gu Anxi see Bo Xichen off, Feng Mian couldn’t help but feel a little sour...
Early that morning, as soon as Gu Anxi arrived at school, she was surrounded by a crowd. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵
Chu Yan looked her up and down. "Hard to believe, you actually passed."
"I told you I would study day and night," Gu Anxi barely managed a reply.
Wang Qin looked at her in admiration. "Anxi, you’re incredible! Some people at Qing University are already betting that you’ll win."
Chu Yan immediately asked, "What’s the ratio?"
Wang Qin carefully raised a finger.
Chu Yan asked, "One to one?"
Wang Qin shook his head. "No, it’s one to one hundred... with one hundred for Qin Siyuan."
Very casually, Gu Anxi said, "It’s okay. Once today’s scores are out, it will rise to one to one."
Chu Yan immediately asked excitedly, "How many points are you planning to get today?"
"One point less than Qin Siyuan," Gu Anxi replied after a moment’s thought.
Chu Yan was dumbstruck.
A bit later, he found his voice again. "How do you know how many points he got?"
