Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 278 - 279 Little Uncle, I’m Stuffed!
Regardless, Gu Anxi had to report to the Orchid Room promptly at eight o’clock every night; this was a family rule set by her Young Uncle.
There was nothing important to do tonight, so they sat quietly on the sofa and watched TV together.
Gu Anxi lay in Bo Xichen’s arms, whispering, "Auntie’s homemade biscuits are delicious. I’m sure you’ve never tried them, Bo Xichen?"
He glanced down at her, his gaze shifting to the widescreen television, and said nonchalantly, "I’ve tasted better."
She let out a small "ah."
Bo Xichen chuckled, "Little bunny!"
This remark, a double entendre, made Gu Anxi bristle, and she playfully punched him.
Amid their squabble, she suddenly frowned. "Stop... my stomach hurts."
Bo Xichen stopped, gently massaged her stomach, and said softly, "You must have overeaten. It’s acute gastritis."
Gu Anxi was in pain, clinging to his neck.
"I’ll take you to the hospital." He kissed her forehead, helped her put on his overcoat, and then lifted her into his arms. "You’ll need an IV drip."
She murmured an "okay," pressing her cheek against his neck.
Bo Xichen lowered his head, whispering, "I thought you weren’t afraid of pain."
"I am," she clung to him tightly, closing her eyes in discomfort.
Bo Xichen hurried out, coincidentally bumping into Bo Jin on the way.
"Xichen, what happened to Anxi?" Bo Jin hurriedly asked, following him.
Bo Xichen opened the back door of the car. "Acute gastritis. I’m taking her to the hospital."
After a brief pause, he added, "Auntie, you should come with us. Let’s not alarm Father and Mother."
Bo Jin nodded, promptly getting into the car and letting Anxi lean against her while she comforted her gently.
During the night, they rushed to Yunxi Hospital. A check-up confirmed it was indeed acute gastritis. Bo Xichen started an IV drip for her, while Bo Jin sat by her side, gently asking, "Is it serious?"
Bo Xichen had calmed down by then. "It’s nothing serious. A couple of days on an IV drip, and she’ll be fine."
Bo Jin looked remorseful, likely guessing her biscuits had caused the trouble. Bo Xichen gave a comforting smile. "Auntie, you were only showing your deep affection. Anxi was very pleased."
Bo Jin said quietly, "Xichen, I’ve never been a mother, but now, I’m willing to bear the pain for Anxi."
Bo Xichen lightly hugged his dear aunt, offering silent comfort.
Ms. Bo Jin had worked tirelessly for most of her life for the Cloud He Group, and Bo Xichen sometimes felt this was unfair to a woman. However, his aunt insisted she loved this life.
Her growing fondness for Anxi was rather unexpected! But it was a good thing.
While Gu Anxi slept, Bo Xichen chatted quietly with his aunt, and the night passed before they knew it.
「Early the next morning」
When Gu Anxi opened her eyes, she saw Bo Xichen’s magnified, handsome face. He was lying beside her pillow.
She moved her head over and rested it on his arm. "Am I in the hospital?"
He gently stroked her head. "Yes. It doesn’t hurt anymore, does it?"
She shook her head, closing her eyes again. "It feels like it’s been a long time since I slept so well."
She reached out, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Young Uncle."
He responded with a light hum, saying nothing more.
The morning light flooded the hospital room, illuminating a heartwarming scene as the two incredibly good-looking young people snuggled together. Bo Jin stood at the door of the hospital room, quietly watching them, holding three breakfast portions in her hand.
As she watched them, she thought to herself: Xichen loves Anxi so much, and so do his elder brother and sister-in-law. I couldn’t understand it before, but now that I’ve grown fond of her myself, I can finally appreciate those feelings.
Anxi truly is a child who tugs at one’s heartstrings, especially after hearing about the Gu family’s situation in Qingcheng from my sister-in-law. I feel even more compassion for her now.
Bo Jin knocked on the door. "Xichen, how is Anxi?"
Gu Anxi lowered her hands but still leaned against Bo Xichen’s arm. "It doesn’t hurt anymore. Auntie, you didn’t sleep all night, did you?"
Bo Jin approached, placing her hand on Anxi’s forehead. "That’s good. Get up and have some breakfast. It’s congee from the Si Garden’s kitchen; it’s the best for an upset stomach."
Bo Xichen also pinched her cheek. "Eat something. Auntie worked hard and waited for a long time."
Bo Jin was mortified. If she hadn’t been overcome by a surge of motherly love last night, Anxi wouldn’t have had to suffer like this.
Gu Anxi, the darling of them all, still got up and ate nearly half a bowl. Bo Xichen didn’t force her, while Bo Jin, on the other hand, looked incredibly nervous.
"Auntie, it’s normal for sick people to have no appetite. She’ll get better in a few days," Bo Xichen smiled.
Bo Jin nodded, finally reassured.
After breakfast, it was already eight o’clock. Bo Xichen and Bo Jin had intended to stay with her, but then Bo Xichen’s parents arrived, both overcome with worry.
Bo Xichen’s father, a doctor himself, examined her thoroughly and was relieved after confirming there were no issues. Bo Xichen’s mother was even more eager to care for her tirelessly—
That Xichen! He took her to the hospital last night and didn’t even let anyone tell us. When my baby girl was sick, I, her mother, wasn’t even there to take care of her. Although Xichen is considerate, he’s ultimately not as thorough as a woman.
But a moment later, Madam Bo noticed her sister-in-law, Bo Jin, looking at Gu Anxi with such loving eyes!
Madam Bo’s heart was suddenly filled with jealousy!!! How frustrating!
Seeing his mother and aunt like this, Bo Xichen couldn’t help but touch his forehead and chuckle helplessly.
Bo Xichen’s father, too, looked on helplessly.
Gu Anxi also watched with wide eyes, then quietly pulled the blanket higher. Fortunately, Madam Bo and Bo Jin quickly adjusted their attitudes. More people to dote on their baby girl, what’s not to like!
Finally, the three Bo family members—Bo Xichen, his father, and Bo Jin—left for work, leaving Madam Bo to take care of Gu Anxi.
Gu Anxi’s spirits were good. She leaned against the headboard, drawing comics on her laptop while chatting with Madam Bo.
Madam Bo scolded her for being a naughty child, working even when she was ill. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
At the same time, her heart ached for Anxi, yet she also felt a sense of reassurance. A girl like this was indeed worthy of Xichen...
「At the same time」
Bo Jin also saw the comic update. She looked at it for a long time, feeling that she no longer treated this comic merely as a way to pass the time.
I absolutely have to promote "18 Ways for the Big Bad Wolf to Eat the Little White Bunny" and bring healing to more people. Anxi is strong, but her heart is warm and tolerant.
「The Gu Residence.」
Gu Ning saw the latest update: the little bunny was sick, and the big bad wolf took care of her all night.
This is genuinely touching, Gu Ning, the wealthy socialite, sniffled and left a comment: "[Mr. Da Hui, you must take good care of our little bunny girl!]"
These two ladies each tipped 1,000,000 RMB, spending money like water.
Instantly, the comic shot up Weibo’s hot search rankings, grabbing several trending spots—
#LittleBunnyIsSick
#TheWholeWorldIsWaitingForYouToGetWellLittleBunny
#MrDaHuiWorkedHardLastNight
#DaHuisFamilyIsRichAndPowerful
...
Gu Anxi felt quite helpless about these inexplicable trending topics, but in Wang Qin’s words, "This is what you call being legitimately famous!"
After finishing her drawing, she felt tired and lay down to sleep.
Madam Bo sat on the sofa, watching over her, glancing from time to time. It wasn’t until Bo Xichen came by for a visit and said everything was fine that Madam Bo truly relaxed.
