Chapter 22

Ji Yao also panicked. The Ji family was the basis for her to be arrogant. Without the Ji family, she was nothing.

“The Chu family wants you to apologize to the entire school and promise not to make trouble for Chu An again. They won’t pursue this matter for the time being,” Mr Ji said after calming down.

“But I’m clearly the victim! Why should I apologize to them?!” Ji Yao was indignant.

“This is all because you’re stupid. I’ve already gotten someone to write an apology for you. Remember to be more sincere.” Mr Ji’s attitude was cold.

The car drove off into the endless darkness.

“Chu An, thank you!” Gu Xiao thanked Chu An on the chat app.

Chu An said, “It’s because she provoked me.”

Gu Xiao said, “Then thank you for helping me on the side.”

Chu An asked, “Then how are you going to thank me?”

Gu Xiao was puzzled. “? Isn’t saying thank you enough?”

Chu An said, “Not sincere enough.”

Gu Xiao was helpless. “Alright, then I thank you sincerely.”

Chu An asked, “Do you want to go to the library this weekend?”

Gu Xiao said, “But I’m going to film that lousy show this weekend!”

Chu An seemed a little embarrassed. “The entrance fare is just half priced for two people in the library. Don’t think too much about it.”

Gu Xiao was already used to Chu An’s self-deception, but she didn’t understand why he would suddenly invite her to the library.

Did this mean that their relationship had become a little closer?

However, Chu An still had no intention of acknowledging Gu Xiao. Gu Xiao felt that Chu An must have his own difficulties and reasons.

“Are you there?” Chu An asked.

After letting her imagination run wild for a while, she realized that she hadn’t replied to Chu An’s message for a few minutes.

Just as she was about to reply, she realized that he had sent another message. “I can’t help it if you want to think too much.”

Gu Xiao covered herself with the blanket and held back her laughter. What was he being so proud of? A mischievous idea popped up in her mind, and Gu Xiao decided not to reply to Chu An. She wanted to see what he would text her.

Who asked him to not acknowledge her?

As expected, the notifications on her phone started to become more frequent.

“Where did you go?”

“Studying the questions? That’s impossible!”

“If you don’t understand, ask me.”

“You’re not upset because you can’t go to the library with me, are you?”

“Then I’ll go to your filming venue this weekend.”

Gu Xiao watched as he talked to himself. She didn’t understand why the situation had now turned into him coming to the filming venue to take a look. Who asked him to come?!

“???” Gu Xiao hurriedly replied with three question marks.

“What were you doing just now?” Chu An replied instantly.

“I accidentally fell asleep.” Gu Xiao found an excuse.

“Then it’s settled. I’ll also go to your filming venue this weekend.” Chu An paused, as if he was thinking of a reason to cover for his desire to see her. “I’ll supervise your studies. Otherwise, you’ll lower the average score of our class.”

Gu Xiao rolled her eyes. “Thanks a lot.”

Chu An said, “You’re welcome.”

“Yo, Chu An, who are you chatting so happily with? Our sister-in-law?” Li Xiang saw that Chu An’s gaze stayed on his phone. He looked like an innocent young man who had just fallen in love.

“Scram,” Chu An said coldly.

“If you like her, just pursue her. I’ll help you.” Li Xiang teased.

“That’s right. Look at our Chu An. Other than his bad temper, he has no other flaws at all!” Wang Ming also shamelessly joined in the fun.

It couldn’t be helped. Chu An was too abnormal. The words ‘I like Gu Xiao’ were practically written on his face.

“I said, scram.” Chu An was furious.

Gu Xiao’s dormitory.

“Xiaoxiao, who were you chatting so happily with? Is it Chu An?” Chen Li teased Gu Xiao, who was lying on the bed and looking at her phone in a daze.

“Why are you gossiping too? Can you learn from An Yang?” Gu Xiao retorted.

“Wait, I’ll ask after I finish revising this lesson,” An Yang interrupted.

“An Yang, have you answered this question? I don’t know how to do it.” Chen Li took her homework and went to ask An Yang to teach her.

“I want to listen too.” Gu Xiao rolled over and got up from the bed. Their three little heads leaned close together.

It was extremely difficult for rural children to obtain a good learning environment. Now that they finally had such a rare opportunity to study under the same roof with top students, what reason did they have not to work hard?

The next morning, Ji Yao was pressured by her father to read an apology letter on the stage of the field. In addition, her family found someone, and gave some students some benefits. They bribed the media and only then did they manage to calm the situation.

However, this matter still exposed Ji Yao’s true self to everyone.
