Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 319 - 320: Cool! Sour, isn’t it? That’s the point, to make you sour!
This news quickly spread throughout Beicheng University: campus idol Gu Anxi had once again won first prize in the national computer competition!
The girls were ecstatic. "Our idol is so cool!"
The boys admired her secretly, not daring to express their feelings.
Gu Mingzhu was furious. She couldn’t believe Gu Anxi had actually won first place. How is that possible? Didn’t she barely pass? Will the whole school be fawning over Gu Anxi at the garden party this afternoon? Absolutely!
In the afternoon, Director Fang personally came to present the awards. All the teachers and students of Beicheng University gathered on the sports field, listening to the deputy head of the Education Bureau give a speech before awarding the top three winners.
Director Fang first presented the award to his own son, patting Fang Ming’s shoulder with satisfaction. "Dad’s proud of you! You’ve grown up, matured; you’re a real man now."
With a hint of smug pride, Fang Ming replied, "Thank you, Director Fang."
Director Fang then cordially presented an award to Chu Yan. "Ah, this poor child," he announced, his voice laced with theatrical sympathy, "so unlucky to have run into such an expert this time! The perennial runner-up award... for you!" Chu Yan accepted it.
Then, Director Fang very solemnly presented the award to Gu Anxi. After delivering a speech, he chuckled lightly. "Actually, students, there’s no shame in losing to Classmate Gu Anxi. She won a Nobel Prize at sixteen, is a talented artist, and her computer skills are exceptional. Most importantly, Classmate Gu is incredibly humble. Students, as the honorary president of the Education Bureau, Gu Anxi chose to be your classmate. Cherish this experience; not everyone gets such an opportunity."
These words sent a shockwave through the entire audience! 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Principal Shen, Professor Liu, all the other professors, and the students below were dumbfounded.
To think Gu Anxi held such an esteemed position in the education sector!
Gu Anxi glanced at Director Fang, a hint of disapproval in her eyes. Weren’t we supposed to be low-key? Why are his words anything but?
Director Fang smiled. "Now, let’s invite Gu Anxi’s guardian to the stage to share this honor with her."
Below the stage, Gu Mingzhu smirked. Bo Xichen isn’t here, so Gu Anxi must not have any family attending. It seems the Bo Family doesn’t regard Gu Anxi that highly after all...
She turned her head and said to Tang Yuan, "Mom, Gu Anxi’s family background is nothing special; she won’t earn the Bo Family’s respect."
Tang Yuan smiled. "Well, of course, she can’t compare to you."
No sooner had she finished speaking than an elegant, distinguished woman gracefully walked onto the stage. It was none other than Bo Jin, who had been radiating excitement all day.
Tang Yuan stared in astonishment. "Why is it Bo Jin?"
Gu Mingzhu bit her lip. "Mom, didn’t you say Aunt Bo Jin dislikes Gu Anxi? Why would she attend the parent-student garden party? And Aunt Bo Jin looks very happy."
Tang Yuan said softly, "I’ll ask your Aunt Bo Jin later. By the way, I’ll invite her for tea. Make sure you make a good impression; I’ll do my best to persuade her to support you!"
She added, "Do you have any idea how influential your Aunt Bo Jin is in the cultural world?"
"I know." Gu Mingzhu’s confidence surged. Aunt Bo Jin watched me grow up. Who would she help if not me? That Gu Anxi? Hah! As if!
At that moment, Bo Jin stepped onto the stage, drawing gasps from the crowd.
Although Bo Jin maintained a low profile, she was a celebrity, a very famous one.
Bo Jin took the microphone from Director Fang, looked lovingly at her precious girl, and then began her speech with a smile.
Her voice was gentle and melodious, her demeanor perfectly dignified.
The students below were all envious of Gu Anxi. Only such a family could nurture such a warm and strikingly cool young woman, the creator of Da Hui and Miss Rabbit. Moreover, the undisguised affection in Bo Jin’s eyes as she frequently glanced at Gu Anxi was undeniable.
A fresh wave of awe swept through the venue; Gu Anxi’s standing in the Bo Family was clearly very high.
Someone whispered, "You know, Gu Anxi herself comes from an elite background. The online sales of ’Da Hui and Miss Rabbit’ have already surpassed eighty million, the physical comic books are in preparation, and a series of commercial collaborations are planned for the future."
The entire crowd gasped again. Da Hui was a massive hit!
However, they only felt envy, not jealousy, because Gu Anxi was genuinely a good, warm-hearted person.
On stage, after Bo Jin finished speaking, she gracefully stepped aside and pulled Gu Anxi into a hug. The overwhelming affection in that gesture made the students want to weep with envy.
Professor Liu, watching from the side, suddenly felt a touch of envy for such a guardian. It must be wonderful to have a child like this in the family, right?
Just then, Director Fang began to speak again. As his speech concluded and the event seemed to be drawing to a close, a surprising scene unfolded—
Fang Ming walked up to Gu Anxi and, with a reserved air, handed her a black envelope.
The entire assembly was stunned!
Although everyone knew Fang Ming liked Gu Anxi, he had never admitted it. Given his proud nature, he would never write a love letter. Besides, Gu Anxi already had a boyfriend, and her boyfriend’s guardian was present.
This... this was too audacious!
Gu Mingzhu, in the audience, gave a cold smile. Now Aunt Bo Jin will surely detest Gu Anxi. She’ll think Gu Anxi is playing the field at school. This is going to be quite a show.
As she thought this, Tang Yuan also felt that Bo Jin would likely be displeased.
On stage, Bo Jin was surprised but not angry. A boy giving a love letter? That just means our precious girl is popular and charismatic! And with so many admiring her, the fact that she likes our Xichen... isn’t that something to be quite pleased about?
Gu Anxi didn’t accept it, but Bo Jin took the love letter. Mimicking Mrs. Bo’s beaming expression, she said, "Thank you, Classmate Fang, for your affection for our precious girl. You’re Director Fang’s son, aren’t you? Please feel free to visit our home often."
Damn! Such class! What a reversal!
Fang Ming’s expression remained perfectly composed as he confessed in front of the entire school, "Gu Anxi, even though you already have a great boyfriend, I still want to tell you: I like you! If you ever need anything in the future, I’ll still be there for you, ready to go through thick and thin."
The whole school was astounded!
Gu Mingzhu’s face twisted with anger. Fang Ming’s stunt is clearly a slap in my face. How am I supposed to maintain my standing at Beicheng University after this?
Tang Yuan patted her hand, whispering, "Mingzhu, you mustn’t lose your composure. You are the standard for Beicheng’s elite young ladies."
With tears in her eyes, Gu Mingzhu replied, "I know, Mom."
At this point, Director Fang, seeing his son’s bold act, walked over and gave Fang Ming a light kick, laughing and scolding half-jokingly, "Kid, still talking about going through thick and thin for her? Do you think you could even beat her boyfriend? You’re more likely to get all your ribs broken!"
The whole school erupted in laughter.
Principal Shen played the peacemaker. "They’re just kids! No conflict, no concord, as they say. It’s a good thing! Fang Ming showed great character today—not jealous, very manly!"
Director Fang, a man well-versed in social dynamics, quickly assessed the situation. The Bo family isn’t angry; in fact, they seem to appreciate my son’s gesture. Looks like my son isn’t a fool; he handled this beautifully!
Delighted, Director Fang patted his son’s shoulder. "Tonight, you and I will have a drink, and I’ll help you nurse your broken heart."
