Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 307 - 308 Gu Anxi! We can!!!

Wang Qin covered her face.

It wasn’t wrong to say she was tall and slim, but plain-looking? Are they joking? Being overshadowed by Gu Mingzhu? Absolutely impossible! She thought Anxi was the most handsome. Besides, Anxi was right; it didn’t matter what others said. What was wrong couldn’t be made right, and what was right couldn’t be proven wrong...

At lunch, she told Gu Anxi about it.

Gu Anxi, holding a tissue to his nose, chuckled in approval. Wang Qin was instantly overjoyed, as if she had found a treasure.

Just then, Fang Ming came over with a tray and sat directly across from them.

Without a word, he dug into his meal.

The surroundings were completely silent.

This scene was all too familiar.

The last time they sat together in the cafeteria, it ended in a fight where Gu Anxi broke Fang Ming’s ribs. Now, in a surprising twist, Fang Ming was following Gu Anxi around like a lost puppy.

Oh, right, I need to vote for Fang Ming!!! Make him the campus belle!

The Beicheng University students, with the mindset of eager onlookers, bowed their heads and started voting on their phones—

Gu Anxi was already set as the campus hunk. Eighty percent of the girls at Beicheng University were obsessed with him, chanting his name daily. They said Gu Anxi had a dominant aura, and they were all for it!!!

The only debate now was about who would be chosen as the campus belle.

All of Beicheng University rejected the idea of Gu Anxi becoming the campus belle.

Because the title "campus belle" didn’t suit Gu Anxi.

After all, Gu Anxi was KO!

Also a Nobel Laureate in Chemistry!

And Luo Lin, whose paintings sold for tens of millions!

Any one of these achievements was incredibly impressive!

Campus belle?

Absolutely not!

Now, a group of die-hard straight guys supported Gu Mingzhu, while most of the girls surprisingly championed Fang Ming for campus belle!

Hehe, since none of them could have Gu Anxi anyway, they might as well push Fang Ming up there to be Gu Anxi’s "woman"!

Beicheng University suddenly became much more open-minded and lively.

This was exactly the atmosphere President Shen wanted.

Recently, he often stated in meetings, "Since student Gu Anxi enrolled, Beicheng University has become much more vibrant. We must maintain this!"

Professor Liu strongly disagreed. Although Gu Anxi was outstanding, she felt that it was either due to the Bo Family’s influence or his innate genius. Neither of these were qualities ordinary Beicheng University students possessed, so using him as a benchmark would mislead them.

President Shen disagreed. "The students of Beicheng University are adults in their early twenties; they have their own judgment! If such an outstanding person isn’t set as an example, who else is qualified?"

Professor Liu’s lips moved. Gu Mingzhu, she thought, but didn’t say it out loud.

Once the magazine photos are out, she thought, this absurd campus belle election at Beicheng University will probably come to an end. Once Gu Mingzhu’s refined, lady-like demeanor is showcased, who could possibly compete?

Given her somewhat friendly relationship with Tang Yuan, Professor Liu still strongly supported Gu Mingzhu. She later called Tang Yuan, "You need to be mentally prepared. President Shen here at Beicheng University is strongly backing Gu Anxi. This time, for the dual cover, Mingzhu must make a stunning impact. She not only has to outshine that comic artist but also thoroughly overshadow Gu Anxi, even if it’s just through the cover. Otherwise, Mingzhu’s standing at Beicheng University might... not be as prominent in the future."

Because Gu Anxi would have stolen all the limelight.

Tang Yuan was silent for a moment, then said she understood.

She then relayed this to Gu Mingzhu, who said confidently, "Mom, don’t worry. This time, Chen Shu helped me get a Balenciaga 2020 Spring/Summer haute couture piece. I’m confident."

Tang Yuan smiled and patted her younger daughter’s hand. "Mom believes you’re the best."

Then she asked casually, "By the way, I saw online that people are saying Gu Anxi is KO. Is there any truth to that?"

Gu Mingzhu looked nonchalant and then placated Tang Yuan, "Mom, those things are just hobbies, dabbling for fun. Can they compare to the entire Gu enterprise?"

Tang Yuan agreed. Her current priority was to cultivate Mingzhu and let Yuanshan see how outstanding Mingzhu was. Sooner or later, I, Tang Yuan, will call the shots in the Gu family. I can tolerate a few sarcastic remarks from Changqing—after all, I am the stepmother. But I’ve had enough of Gu Ning’s attitude; that’s becoming unbearable. I’m Gu Yuanshan’s wife, yet I live like a servant girl. And Yuanshan doesn’t completely side with me. Ultimately, the Gu enterprise can’t do without Gu Ning. As long as Mingzhu is outstanding enough to manage the Gu enterprise in the future... then we can just send Gu Ning off to a comfortable retirement!

The thought thrilled Tang Yuan. I have painstakingly groomed Gu Mingzhu for this very day, even if it meant... even if it meant... abandoning my first child. But it was all worth it. I’ve never regretted it. Besides, that other child is doing very well now, aren’t they?

Tang Yuan washed away the non-existent guilt from her heart, redoubled her efforts to curry favor with Gu Yuanshan, and focused all her energy on cultivating Gu Mingzhu.

Recently, because she had successfully handled the stocking of the Jing Element, Gu Yuanshan had begun to regard her more highly and had eased up on other matters.

For example, Gu Anxi.

「 」

Gu Anxi was down with a severe cold.

The reason was that last night, Professor Bo had been tutoring him on the sofa. He got so engrossed that he forgot to turn on the heater, and since the tutoring went late into the night, Gu Anxi caught a cold.

When Gu Anxi was heading back, his head already felt a bit hot. He managed to drive himself back to Si Garden. As soon as he got out of the car, Mrs. Bo rushed up to him.

She touched his forehead and immediately scolded, "You child, driving with a fever! Why didn’t you call Xichen to pick you up? Just you wait, I’ll deal with you."

Gu Anxi was indeed feeling unwell. Hearing Mrs. Bo say she was going to "deal with him," he started to act pitiful.

Just then, Wang Keru also arrived and asked nervously, "What’s wrong with Anxi?"

"He has a bit of a fever." Mrs. Bo touched his forehead again and said seriously, "Help him to my room to rest. I’ll look after him."

Mrs. Bo doted on the boy. Ordinarily, etiquette would dictate taking him to a guest room, but in her concern, she completely forgot and led Gu Anxi directly to her own bedroom. She personally took off his shoes, tucked the young man into her bed, and said fiercely, "Don’t you move! Stay put, and I’ll get Papa Bo to take a look at you."

Gu Anxi, feeling quite unwell, closed his eyes and grabbed Wang Keru’s hand. "Mom."

Wang Keru immediately moved closer. "Mom’s here. Just get some good sleep, and you’ll be fine."

Gu Anxi obediently closed his eyes.

Mrs. Bo hurriedly left to find Bo Nianyao. However, when she reached the study, Bo Nianyao wasn’t there; a servant said he had gone out on some business. Bo Qing, however, was present.

Bo Qing’s medical skills were also top-notch, so Mrs. Bo asked him to come and check on Gu Anxi.

Bo Qing followed her, smiling faintly. "You’re worrying too much, Sister-in-law. It’s probably just a common cold and fever."

Mrs. Bo didn’t slow her pace. "He’s the only precious child I have like this. How can I not worry?"

Bo Qing smiled faintly. "What about Xichen? Doesn’t he count?"

Mrs. Bo shot him a sidelong glance. "Xichen is already twenty-eight, a grown man. He knows how to take care of himself."

Since she put it that way, Bo Qing said no more and just followed her.

When they reached the inner room and Bo Qing saw Gu Anxi in Mrs. Bo’s bed, he paused slightly...
