Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 304 - 305: Chu Yan, can you help me look up Gu Anxi?
In the afternoon, just as Gu Mingzhu anticipated, that puff piece went viral across all major networks!
Thanks to the push from marketing accounts, the entire internet was soon abuzz with praise for Gu Mingzhu. Phrases like ’god-tier girl,’ ’has always crushed Number 85,’ ’this loss was just a slip-up,’ and so on, were everywhere...
Wang Qin fumed as she watched. She turned her head to look at Gu Anxi. "Anxi, aren’t you angry at all?"
Gu Anxi was casually swinging her legs. "What’s there to be angry about!"
"She’s blatantly lying. You’re clearly much stronger than her," Wang Qin spoke up for her.
Gu Anxi pinched her cheek. "Why bother with such trivial matters!"
"Why aren’t you angry at all, Anxi?" Wang Qin mumbled after a long pause, finally saying what was on her mind. "You’re like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle."
Gu Anxi feigned outrage. "Wang Qin, are you itching for a beating?"
Wang Qin shrank back a little, then muttered, "I just feel bad that you’re being misunderstood. Gu Mingzhu is really mean."
Gu Anxi smiled, gently rested Wang Qin’s head on her own shoulder, and patted her little head.
Behind them, a group of younger girls covered their mouths, suppressing their squeals—
AAAAH, I’m so envious of Wang Qin!
How can anyone in this world be so lucky?
She gets Gu Anxi’s affection and an exclusive autograph from Rabbit!
Fang Ming also stood there, a cold sneer playing on his lips—
Doesn’t anyone ever stop to think? How many people does Wang Qin even know in Beicheng?
And that exclusive autograph from yesterday? It was clearly drawn and photographed in a car. The car Bo Xichen drove when he picked Gu Anxi up was worth over thirty million.
It’s true that Rabbit is a rich beauty, and Da Hui is from a wealthy family.
What they failed to realize was that this ’Rabbit’ was none other than Gu Anxi, the girl always on her laptop during classes at Beicheng University.
Fang Ming wasn’t bothered by the afternoon’s puff piece, but some of the girls were. As a result, the pace of votes for Gu Anxi slowed down, especially since the support for Campus Belle Gu Mingzhu was very high.
It looked like the outcome was already set in stone!
Fang Ming was certain this was Gu Mingzhu’s doing.
Initially, he wasn’t particularly bothered by these little schemes of young girls. But when he saw Gu Anxi gently press Wang Qin’s head onto her own shoulder, so tenderly, he felt a pang of longing.
He actually found himself envious of Wang Qin, someone so unremarkable, simply because she could comfortably lean on Gu Anxi’s side whenever she wished, simply because she had Gu Anxi’s friendship.
"Fang Ming, are you really that smitten?" Lin Lei murmured from his side. "Easy now, she’s taken."
"I know," Fang Ming replied nonchalantly, then turned and walked away.
Lin Lei was shell-shocked.
Fang Ming didn’t deny it! Does that mean he’s really in love with Gu Anxi?
As if he’d stumbled upon a monumental secret, Lin Lei quickly caught up to Fang Ming, slinging an arm over his shoulder. "Hey, seriously into her?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
He then muttered to himself, "Gu Anxi really is beautiful, prettier than Gu Mingzhu."
Fang Ming landed a punch on him. "Screw you!"
Lin Lei just grinned, undeterred, and leaned in again. "By the way, your precious darling signed up for the computer competition. Are you going to participate on her behalf to curry favor with the goddess of your heart?"
Fang Ming narrowed his eyes. "She signed up?"
"Yes, she did!"
Lin Lei lowered his voice, sharing the latest gossip. "I heard Qing University and Beicheng University are about to go at it again. Right now, they’re fighting over who gets credit if Gu Anxi takes first place. Qing University insists Gu Anxi has always been their student, but President Shen of Beicheng University isn’t budging either. A new round of battle is about to begin!"
Without waiting for Fang Ming to reply, Lin Lei continued on his own, "Are they overestimating Gu Anxi? She barely passed her last exam. Competing against experts in a national tournament? Isn’t that just asking for trouble... Besides, she originally had a group of loyal young female fans at Beicheng University. After Gu Mingzhu subtly dissed her yesterday, and now she’s signing up for some computer competition... she’s going to completely squander what little public appeal she has left!"
"She won’t," Fang Ming said softly. "If she participates, no one else even stands a chance!"
He had heard from his mother about the motocross race. For that race, the Bo Family had bet on Gu Anxi to win and easily raked in 1.6 billion, stunning everyone.
Does this mean Gu Anxi always plays by her own rules—winning when she wants to, losing when she wants to? To put it harshly, was she throwing matches?
Yet, Gu Mingzhu was still reveling in her own delusion!
Lin Lei looked at him. "What did you say?"
But Fang Ming said no more and truly left this time...
After returning home, he turned on his computer and contacted Chu Yan. "Can you help me look into Gu Anxi?"
「Hokkaido.」
Chu Yan, a petite figure in a yukata, was comfortably nestled by the fireplace, a glass of red wine in hand, thoroughly enjoying the luxurious tranquility.
Her phone DINGED. Chu Yan put down her wine glass and checked it.
It was a message from Fang Ming; surprisingly, he wanted to investigate Gu Anxi.
Chu Yan’s slender, pale fingers began to type: [Anyway, she’s a big shot you can’t afford to offend!]
Before she could send it, Chu Ci came over.
Also in a white yukata, his black hair still damp, Chu Ci came over. He took the phone from his sister’s hand, glanced at it, then handed it back before sitting beside her and toweling his wet hair.
Chu Ci asked casually, "Who’s Fang Ming?"
Chu Yan snuggled into the sofa, typing her message as she replied to her brother, "A classmate from my department, a top student... Oh, he’s Director Fang’s son. And very handsome."
Chu Ci’s gaze deepened slightly. He tossed the towel to her. "Dry my hair. What’s so interesting about male classmates that you need to chat so much?"
After sending her last message, Chu Yan tossed her phone aside and eagerly helped her brother dry his hair, her tone fawning. "None of them are as handsome as you, Brother."
Chu Ci snorted. "Such a flatterer!"
Chu Yan wrapped her arms around his neck, acting cute and coy. "But I’m telling the truth! Brother is the most handsome brother in the world."
Chu Ci gently pulled her off him, holding her close in front of him. "You think Brother is handsome?" he asked tenderly.
Chu Yan immediately put on an expression of utter adoration.
Chu Ci was so exasperated he pushed her away and picked up a book.
Chu Yan placed her small hand on his shoulder, nuzzling her face close. "Angry? Brother, are you going through man-opause, or is this a hormonal imbalance from not having a girlfriend?"
Chu Ci felt an urge to hit her.
But when he turned his head, the little fool’s face was as fresh and delicate as a painting, her features small and perfect. Even the few freckles on her nose were incredibly cute.
Chu Ci stared for a few seconds, and all his anger melted away. He sighed. "You’ve grown up. I’m truly at a loss with you!"
Chu Yan snuggled up against him, cooing and showering him with every flattering compliment she could think of.
Chu Ci still wore a stern expression, ignoring her.
Finally, Chu Yan sighed softly. "Brother, you should find a girlfriend. Maybe then you wouldn’t be so strange."
She had barely finished speaking when the magazine in Chu Ci’s hand came down squarely on her head...
