Chapter 142: Chapter 142
After finishing their meal, Gu Anxi went to paint, and Bo Xichen went about his own business. At ten o’clock, they both wrapped up their work and watched TV together for a while.
Gu Anxi generously picked out a small bag of snacks to share with him. Bo Xichen smiled and ended up feeding them to her instead...
At eleven, Gu Anxi went to sleep. Doctor Bo went to the gym alone and sweated it out for half an hour!
It was quite tough work.
The next day, as soon as Gu Anxi arrived at school, she heard some news. A special requirement had been added to this year’s student union election: for the student union president position, candidates had to be in the top ten of the fourth-year class academically and also possess a presentable provincial-level award.
These two requirements were enough to eliminate Gu Anxi from the running. She was only a sophomore and had also taken a year off; everyone knew she frequently scored zero on tests. Making it into the top ten of the sophomore class was already impossible for her, let alone the fourth-year class.
As for a provincial award, she had likely never even come close to one. But Qin Siyuan had!
Chu Yan muttered quietly, "I don’t know who came up with this idea. It’s really despicable and shameless."
The idea had come from Shen Wanqing, but it was proposed collectively by the other student council members. Qin Siyuan was their mainstay, and the student council members were particularly united at this moment. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽
After Chu Yan finished speaking, she sighed heavily, as if all her bets had gone down the drain. She collapsed on the table in dismay. Wang Qin’s face turned a little red as she quietly asked, "Should I get my godfather to intervene?"
Chu Yan seemed to grab at this lifeline. "Yes, yes, yes!"
"No need," Gu Anxi spoke in a calm voice. "I will study day and night."
Chu Yan’s face immediately fell. She stabbed the table with her pen. "Study day and night, study day and night... It’s only been a little over ten days, and there’s a grade-level test today! Gu Anxi, if you can even make it into the top 100 of our year, I’ll admit defeat."
"I will work hard." Gu Anxi maintained her calm demeanor.
Chu Yan let out an "oh," her expression clearly showing her hopelessness.
Perhaps all the teachers in the school were spurred on by this upcoming election. That day’s exams were graded on the same day, remarkably quickly.
Qin Siyuan: five As, ranked first in his fourth year.
Gu Anxi: three Bs and two Cs, ranked 100th in her second year.
Seeing the rankings, Chu Yan was stunned into silence for a long time. "Gu Anxi, you actually managed to rank 100th!"
Gu Anxi stood in front of the ranking board and shrugged. "I couldn’t let you down, could I?"
Chu Yan swallowed hard. "How could you calculate so accurately that you would be ranked 100th?"
Gu Anxi looked down. "I hacked into the academic affairs system."
Chu Yan’s expression was hard to describe... Then she forced a laugh. "But the grades are real, right?"
"Real." Gu Anxi also smiled.
Chu Yan just let out an "Oh..."
The professors at Qing University seemed to be addicted to testing, holding one every day. Three days later, Gu Anxi’s ranking in the second year had jumped to 28th—a qualitative leap.
When she returned to the lab building, Bo Xichen had just finished his experiment and come out of the shower. Gu Anxi placed her test papers in front of him. "Ranked 28th in my year."
Bo Xichen took the papers from her and studied them carefully before smiling and asking, "Does 28th have any special meaning?"
"No special meaning." She bit her lip.
Professor Bo glanced at her, then at Feng Mian who was sneaking a peek at them, and said quietly, "Come to my private office."
Feng Mian suddenly felt uneasy. Doctor Bo and the little one had secrets now.
