Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 283 - 284: Qingda and Beicheng University are at odds again!
Gu Anxi was discharged from the hospital after two days, bouncing back to her lively self quickly due to her youth.
However, when going to school, she obediently received rides from Bo Xichen, or from Mrs. Bo when he was too busy.
One day, as soon as Gu Anxi arrived at Beicheng University, Principal Shen pulled her aside for a heart-to-heart talk. He explained that Beicheng University surpassed Qing University in all aspects, including faculty strength. He then suggested that Gu Anxi consider transferring her student records there—
Providing household registration!
Distributing housing!
It was just short of assigning her a partner!
As Principal Shen finished speaking, he looked at Gu Anxi expectantly. "What do you think? If there are any other conditions, we can add them."
Gu Anxi murmured softly, "At Qing University, I can sleep in class."
Principal Shen instantly responded, "We can do that too!"
The surrounding department heads and professors stared at Principal Shen, but he feigned ignorance, waved his hand dismissively, and asked, "Are there any other reasonable demands?"
Gu Anxi hummed, "I don’t want to take P.E. class."
"Anything else?" Principal Shen encouraged her gently.
After thinking for a while, Gu Anxi said, "Not at the moment! Thank you, Principal Shen. I’ll go and experience life at Beicheng University first. If I can adjust, I’ll consider transferring."
Principal Shen beamed, "You’ll be able to adjust. You definitely will."
Gu Anxi left the room.
As soon as she closed the door, Principal Shen made a "GOOD!" hand gesture.
Professor Liu was the first to disagree. "Principal Shen, this does not align with Beicheng University’s tradition."
Waving his hand dismissively, Principal Shen said, "Heaven cherishes the gifted! Do you understand those words? Heaven itself pampers the talented. Do you think I can overrule Heaven?"
He gave a restrained laugh. "But we can surpass those scoundrels at Qing University!"
Gu Anxi went downstairs. Wang Qin was at the foot of the stairs, waiting like a little pet for its owner. As soon as she saw Gu Anxi come down, she followed her and quietly asked about the situation.
Gu Anxi told her what happened.
Hearing this, Wang Qin grew anxious. "Anxi, are you really planning on staying at Beicheng University?"
"How could I?" Gu Anxi propped herself on a flowerbed planter, pushed herself up to sit on it, and gently swung her legs. "Didn’t I just say I’d consider it?"
Wang Qin, who had been so anxious earlier that tears had welled up, finally relaxed. "Anxi, you scared me to death."
Gu Anxi patted her head and sighed softly.
She had her young uncle now, and she was sure she would settle down in Beicheng in the future. Besides, they would eventually graduate from university anyway.
However, she didn’t voice these thoughts, merely gazing into the distance.
Wang Qin imitated her, sitting there swinging her legs and also looking into the distance.
About fifty meters behind them, Fang Ming stood silently, watching the two girls.
It seemed that whenever she had free time, the unassuming Wang Qin would stick close to Gu Anxi, and Gu Anxi never seemed to find her bothersome. Even though there were many other girls at Beicheng University who wanted to get to know Gu Anxi and befriend her, she showed no interest at all, keeping everyone at arm’s length with a distinct coldness.
Fang Ming watched them silently for a while. Just as he was about to leave, Gu Anxi suddenly turned her head.
Their eyes met.
Fang Ming was struck by the iciness in her gaze. Her eyes held a sharpness that seemed to pierce through everything, leaving one feeling exposed and flustered. He froze, momentarily stunned.
Ignoring him, Gu Anxi pulled Wang Qin down from the planter. "Time for class."
Wang Qin obediently said she would see her at lunch, then ran off towards the art department.
Gu Anxi watched Wang Qin walk away before slowly turning and walking towards Fang Ming...
Fang Ming’s fingers clenched. He waited until she reached him, then asked, his voice tight, "Are you feeling better?"
Gu Anxi didn’t answer his question directly. Instead, she said coolly, "Stop following me from now on."
"Why aren’t you in the art department?" he asked, somewhat abruptly.
Then, he added softly, "Are you Luo Lin?"
Luo Lin... that legendary genius painter, an artist who remained a mere legend even after their works were auctioned. To think it was Gu Anxi! When Fang Ming had learned this through a special channel, he simply couldn’t believe it.
Gu Anxi smiled. "Do you think there’s any professor at Beicheng University’s Art College capable of teaching me?"
Fang Ming was speechless.
Gu Anxi glanced at him once more, then turned and walked away.
Fang Ming watched her retreating figure. Her legs looked slender beneath a thick, coffee-colored fleece coat that seemed exceptionally warm.
He had a strange feeling that the exceptionally refined Dr. Bo must have made her wear it. Would such an aloof girl like Gu Anxi... even date? Or was she unconditionally submissive to that powerful man?
The corners of Fang Ming’s mouth tightened, his fingers unconsciously clenching into fists.
「In the afternoon, Beicheng University was bustling with activity again—」
Qing University and Beicheng University were at loggerheads once more over Gu Anxi’s award. The dispute began when Beicheng University slyly published an article online claiming Gu Anxi as their student. They even hinted that a Beicheng University student had won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry!
Yes, the Nobel Prize!
Soon, all domestic universities will have to call Beicheng University ’Daddy’!
When Principal Wang of Qing University saw it, he nearly exploded with rage.
Heh! How utterly shameless! How has our student council president suddenly become a student of your Beicheng University?
Qing University urgently convened a meeting to strategize on how to craft a response that would thoroughly humiliate Beicheng University.
The department head brought over the trophy. "The student council president left this treasure here. Let’s take a group photo! Plus, her student ID card is still here, and her painting is still hanging in the university. We’re not short of evidence!"
Principal Wang slapped his thigh. "That’s a great idea! You’re really something."
The department head demurred, "It was Professor Gao’s idea."
He then sighed. "Professor Gao’s whole demeanor has changed recently!"
Principal Wang smiled knowingly. "I understand. Alright, gather all the professors and department heads. Bring over all of the student council president’s trophies, and..."
He ordered his assistant, "Doesn’t the Gu family have a load of trophies too? Borrow them all from Ms. Wang. We’ll take a photo with Gu Anxi’s mother and record a short video. Wouldn’t that settle the matter?"
The department head gave a knowing smile. "Principal Wang, you’re truly ingenious."
Principal Wang looked extremely pleased.
Just as everything was ready, an unexpected person arrived—it was none other than Little Li.
Mr. Li might be late, but Mr. Li is never absent...
Principal Wang warmly welcomed Mr. Li’s arrival. Consequently, they filmed an extremely sentimental, almost corny, video and uploaded it online.
On the conference table lay dozens of glittering international trophies. Behind it stood Qing University’s principal, deans, and professors, alongside leaders from the provincial and municipal education departments of Qingcheng, and also Ms. Wang.
Each person spoke with deep emotion:
"Gu Anxi, student of Qing University, we miss you!"
"Gu Anxi of Qing University, I heard you’ve won yet another award! Your professor is delighted for you."
"Student Gu Anxi from Qing University, that fifty-million-yuan painting of yours... your teacher hasn’t had the heart to sell it. It’s still hanging at Qing University... Everyone at Qing University is waiting for you to come back."
Finally, it was Little Li’s turn. He sighed, "A Qing University without Gu Anxi is an incomplete Qing University! All the students and faculty of Qing University are waiting for our student council president to return."
As soon as this segment was uploaded, hehehe, it exploded in popularity!
