Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 604 - 605: A Child in Old Age! The Invitation of the Elder Brother
Gu Anxi smirked. "I will do my best to perfect all her functions. She will have body temperature, an IQ of 160, an EQ of 120, appropriate Combat Power, and unlockable skills. In short, she will be perfect."
Feng Mian stared at her. "Have you asked Fengxi for her opinion? Maybe she likes how she is now."
Gu Anxi smiled faintly. "No AI with a soul doesn’t want to see this world firsthand."
She whispered, "If she can’t find her place in reality, I might create a male version."
Feng Mian looked at her for a moment before softly responding, "She might not like it."
Gu Anxi lowered her eyes. "Smart input!"
Feng Mian got irritated. "Gu Anxi!"
Gu Anxi smiled slightly. "It’s Fengxi. She wants to be... a woman."
Feng Mian was stunned. Gu Anxi didn’t want to discuss the issue further and said, "Alright, this is just a thought. A mature AI human isn’t that easy to create."
Only then did Feng Mian calm down somewhat. Gu Anxi continued, "Actually, you don’t have to hide from her. She’s just a system expressing its liking for you. You should accept it, and there’s really no need to purposely seek a girlfriend... unless, you..."
She paused, then pointed out bluntly, "Unless you have actually fantasized about Fengxi being a woman."
Feng Mian ran away in embarrassment.
Bo Xichen came over after finishing his meeting. "Where’s Feng Mian?"
Gu Anxi shrugged. "He ran off. I just mentioned a thought, and he took off."
She leaned against Bo Xichen, speaking softly, "You turned Fengxi off."
He looked at her for a long time before turning Fengxi off.
Gu Anxi rested on his arm, whispering, "Uncle, Fengxi has been unhappy recently."
Actually, it wasn’t that serious. Feng Mian’s avoidance had caused a significant change in Fengxi’s mood, much like a woman on her period.
Bo Xichen also knew that Feng Mian had stopped using the Phoenix System recently. In fact, Fengxi could coexist with reality. For example, Gu Anxi wouldn’t quarrel with Uncle Bo over Fengxi.
She whispered, "The more Feng Mian acts like this, the more suspicious it is."
She continued even more quietly, "But, I can’t easily create Fengxi. So, I feel a bit sorry for her."
Bo Xichen sighed, reaching out to pat her little head.
Gu Anxi, acting docile, looked up at him after a moment. "Uncle, can we let Fengxi live with us?"
Uncle Bo looked at her. "Gu Anxi, there’s more to your words, right?"
She giggled slyly, then whispered, "Let Fengxi be your little wife!"
Uncle Bo smiled. "Sure, let her serve me and my wife in the evening, close at hand!"
The Little Darling was defeated. Uncle, you’re shameless!
「In the Wang Residence.」
Zhou Yu returned to the Wang Residence by car. After waking from a nap, she realized she had forgotten her ultrasound report at Min Xin’s place.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally made the call.
In the hospital, Min Xin was thrilled to see her call but feigned indifference when he answered, "Yu Yu?"
Zhou Yu softly said, "My report is still with you. Could you check if it’s there?"
Min Xin’s voice was quite gentle. "It’s here. I’ll have Wang Yuan deliver it to you later."
Since she was pregnant, he didn’t want her to run around.
Zhou Yu hummed. "Thank you."
As she was about to hang up, Min Xin hastily called out to her, "Wait."
Zhou Yu was a bit surprised. "Is there anything else?"
Min Xin’s voice was exceptionally soft. "Have you had lunch?"
Zhou Yu was sitting on her bed, her tea-colored hair loose, massaging her shoulder. "I just woke up. I haven’t eaten yet."
"I’ll have Wang Yuan send some fresh fruit over later. Eat a bit," he said gently. "Don’t sleep all the time. Go out for some fresh air, but don’t wander off. I’ve heard the greenery at King Jingyao’s villa is lovely. You should take someone with you when you go for a walk..."
He rambled on for quite a while. Zhou Yu listened, confused and a little upset.
When they were still married, he had forbidden her from having children. Apart from... *that*, they rarely communicated, and he had never been as gentle as he was now.
This was what she had yearned for in her early days of marriage, but it was somewhat ridiculous now that they were divorced.
But Zhou Yu had always been well-mannered, so she listened as he spoke. Eventually, he noticed her distraction and called out again, "Yu Yu?"
Zhou Yu hummed and then said softly, "Just call me Zhou Yu in the future."
Min Xin paused. "Can I not even call you by your name anymore? Or are you afraid he’ll get angry?"
Zhou Yu bit her lip. "I suppose so. Min Xin, we’re not connected anymore. Being too... close... isn’t appropriate."
Hearing her say this, Min Xin would have been infuriated if he didn’t know the child was his. Yet, he felt a surge of pity. How terrified must she have been that I would reject this child, for her to try and pin it on King Jingyao?
Of course, King Jingyao wasn’t shouldering this burden for free; he had his own agenda.
His heart softened. It was like being back in their newlywed days. Zhou Yu had always been this soft little thing. Despite being a lady from a prominent family, she was always so cautious, afraid of doing something wrong, afraid he’d get angry. She even tried to cook for him once but ended up setting the kitchen on fire...
Her foot was blistered, covered in several sores. She sat on the edge of the bed while he knelt on the floor, gently lancing them for her...
Truthfully, he was the one who had been humble, a fact she never understood, never knew.
All these years, she never realized she was his weakness. She could have hurt him so easily if she’d wanted to.
Or perhaps she did know, but back then, she couldn’t bear to, still harboring love for him. Later, that turned into disdain.
And now? How is it now? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"Yu Yu," he started softly, asking her in a low voice, "Do you still hate me?"
Zhou Yu shook her head. "No."
She said softly, "Thank you for arranging things for my future. Min Xin, I’m very grateful."
Min Xin closed his eyes. He didn’t want her gratitude.
Zhou Yu wanted to hang up, saying she was hungry. Min Xin was reluctant but let her go.
After hanging up, he laced his hands behind his head, his expression alternating between a scowl and a faint smile.
Secretary Wang had been observing his boss. Seeing this display, he thought to himself, Oh, it’s over—
This plot is unfolding exactly according to Little Gu’s plan.
Mr. Min’s current demeanor doesn’t look like someone who conquers all before him; he clearly looks like a naive, sweet fool in love!
Min Xin glanced at him and said calmly, "Take the ultrasound report over in a while. Also, send some nutritional supplements. You handle it personally."
Secretary Wang nodded. "Yes, sir." Then he suddenly said, "By the way, Wang Jingchuan sent an invitation. He’s hosting a grand banquet this weekend to celebrate getting a child in his old age. Will you be attending?"
Min Xin gritted his teeth. "A child in his old age? He actually dares to say that!"
It’s a child I painstakingly fathered, and he has the gall to announce it to the world!
Seeing his expression, Secretary Wang quickly advised, "You absolutely must restrain yourself, sir. If you announce that the child is yours, all our previous efforts will be wasted! How many enemies will target Madam then?"
Min Xin, who had just been feeling a little sweetness, was now exploding with anger. "He’s banking on the fact that I wouldn’t dare say anything! That’s why he’s hosting this damned banquet! He’s deliberately trying to infuriate me!"
Without a doubt, Gu Anxi must have come up with this idea!
These schemes to force my hand, they just keep coming, one after another!
