Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 316 - 317: National Competition! Beicheng Great locked in the top two
"No, it wasn’t like that." She leaned into his arms, using his palm to count. "That day, Father Bo and Mother Bo had to go out, and you seemed to have a packed schedule too. Only Aunt Bo Jin was free."
Bo Xichen stared at her but didn’t speak for a long while.
There was an indescribable feeling in his heart. Anxi wanted to get first place not only to make him happy but, more importantly, she wanted to make her aunt happy. She wanted Aunt Bo Jin to be able to attend the parent-teacher conference, beaming with pride because the student in her charge was the top performer.
Bo Xichen smiled. "No wonder the elders dote on you so much."
Gu Anxi hugged him. "Little Uncle still pampers me the most."
He gave her a light tap. "Such a flatterer!"
「The next morning.」
Gu Anxi reluctantly dragged herself out of bed. Bo Xichen had already gone to the dining room and relayed the matter to the elders.
Aunt Bo Jin was outwardly composed, but her heart leaped with joy.
Mrs. Bo was terribly frustrated. That mischievous child, Anxi! Such a wonderful opportunity, and it had fallen into Bo Jin’s lap. She couldn’t help but look at her husband, hoping Bo Nianyao could change his itinerary.
Noticing her sister-in-law’s intention, Bo Jin silently glanced at her older brother a couple of times.
Father Bo was caught off guard by his sister’s gaze. She truly hadn’t asked for much since they were children. So, he cleared his throat and said, "It’s not easy to change plans that have already been set."
Aunt Bo Jin slowly ate her breakfast, the corners of her mouth tilting up slightly.
Mrs. Bo, of course, knew what Bo Jin was thinking. However, after some careful consideration, she was willing to let her sister-in-law have her way this time. Anyway, the little one is part of our family. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to act as a parent.
Gu Anxi, unaware of all this, came for breakfast and only sensed that the atmosphere was a bit unusual. She looked at Bo Xichen, who smiled faintly. "Hurry up and eat. If you get thinner, Father Bo and Mother Bo will think I’m not taking good care of you again."
Saying this, he poured her a glass of milk, his gaze gentle as he looked at her.
Father Bo, Mother Bo, and Aunt Bo Jin exchanged glances, all smiling. It’s truly wonderful to have another child in the family, and Xichen seems very happy too.
Gu Anxi finished her milk. "I have to go. The national computer competition is today."
Mrs. Bo laughed and chided, "Always so impetuous! Take Little Uncle’s car over there, do you hear me?"
Gu Anxi nodded obediently. Actually, Bo Xichen hadn’t been driving her much lately. He’d been busy for a while but was finally free these past two days.
When they arrived at the school, the atmosphere at Beicheng University was quite tense; after all, it was a national competition. The students of Beicheng University were divided into two factions: one argued Chu Yan would win, the other supported Fang Ming. They were arguing heatedly.
When Gu Anxi went over and sat down, Professor Liu felt a bit of a headache.
This Gu Anxi, she’s quite talented and seems to have many special skills, but isn’t she being too arrogant, wanting to stick her oar in computers too? Programming isn’t like drawing a few pictures of Big Grey Wolves and Little Rabbits; it requires a high level of professionalism! Can Gu Anxi handle it? If she makes a fool of herself, it will affect her reputation in the Education Department. That’s why, during registration, I tried to persuade Gu Anxi to drop out of this competition, but Gu Anxi insisted, and there was nothing I could do.
Professor Liu gave a brief introduction, and then the competition began.
Because everything was done online and the system assigned different tasks to each participant, there was no fear of cheating.
Gu Anxi was fully concentrated, her slender fingers typing unceasingly.
This kid’s typing speed is pretty good, Professor Liu thought to herself, but I wonder what she can actually produce.
She watched, sighing from time to time.
The competition lasted two hours. Gu Anxi finished in an hour and a half, then picked up her small backpack and left.
As she was leaving, Professor Liu followed her out and asked softly at the door, "Did it go okay?"
Gu Anxi nodded calmly. "I think it went okay."
Professor Liu felt slightly relieved and added, "As long as what you’ve made is presentable, that’s good enough. The professor isn’t expecting you to win any awards."
She looked at Gu Anxi, suddenly remembering the photos online. In that group photo, this child really did outshine Mingzhu! A love for beauty is something everyone possesses, and Professor Liu was no exception.
So, she smiled. "When the professor has time, I’ll also check out your Da Hui. Da Hui is Doctor Bo, right? Doctor Bo is quite famous internationally. You’re very lucky, Gu Anxi."
Gu Anxi smiled faintly. "Thank you, Professor Liu."
Then, she left.
Professor Liu was lost in thought for a moment. This child is actually quite well-behaved. I just hope she doesn’t mess up this time. It’s rare for all the male and female students in the school to like her so much. Even Principal Shen admires her greatly.
「That night...」
Professor Liu opened the Yunfeng website, found the comic "The Big Bad Wolf," and was first stunned by the incredibly high statistics.
Oh my God, it’s so popular! I can’t understand it. It’s just a comic, just a paper rabbit, so how did it get so popular? 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
But as she continued reading, Wow, this is surprisingly good!
Perhaps Professor Liu’s personality was more like Bo Jin’s; she preferred the little rabbit. So good! Mommy loves you!
Professor Liu secretly registered an alternate account and tipped a thousand yuan.
After reading all the updates, she still wanted more and left a comment: [Requesting update, waiting online~]
「The next day...」
When Gu Anxi arrived at school early, she felt that Professor Liu’s gaze was somewhat different. It seemed quite affectionate.
The hairs on Gu Anxi’s arms stood up. I don’t know how I managed to strike a chord with Professor Liu this time...
In the large classroom, Chu Yan was resting her chin on her hand and twirling a pen. "I’m so upset! Stuck being number two forever!"
Gu Anxi sighed. "I won’t participate next time."
"Then we’ll have to wait another year." Chu Yan sighed. "With you around, how can anyone else shine?"
Gu Anxi opened her notebook and started drawing her comic, saying casually, "Without Liang, who would team up with you? Over these years, at least half of your little slush fund came from the shady money I helped you earn, right?"
Chu Yan was about to stamp her foot in anger, but then she realized it was true!
Gu Anxi smiled and continued drawing her comic.
This class was taught by Professor Liu. Unobtrusively, she watched Gu Anxi sitting in the back row, drawing comics on her notebook, and inwardly rejoiced, There’ll be an update to read soon.
However, Professor Liu’s stern disposition wouldn’t let her show it. She coughed lightly. "By the way, Fang Ming and Chu Yan from our class both participated in the competition this time. I’m confident they’ve locked in the top two spots. As for third place, we won’t contend for it."
Professor Liu was full of confidence. In her teaching career, Fang Ming and Chu Yan were her two most prized students, her treasures.
When she said this, the students from the Computer Science department were thrilled. After all, Beicheng University’s computer science department was famous, which would definitely help their future employment and make them sound incredibly impressive.
At this moment, Chu Yan raised her hand.
Professor Liu smiled pleasantly. "What is it?"
Chu Yan said confidently, "I believe that this time, Beicheng University will secure the top three."
Professor Liu smiled and gestured for her to sit down, then said, "I also hope we can secure the top three, but it’s unlikely. There’s a student from the neighboring Qinghua University whose skills are just a little behind yours and Fang Ming’s. It’s almost certain they’ll take third."
