CHAPTER 70: CHAPTER 70: COMFORTABLE BY HIS SIDE, LIKE A LITTLE KITTEN.

Everyone froze.

This was Gu Anxi, such an aloof person, yet Professor Bo was actually tousling her hair.

Gu Anxi stepped back. Bo Xichen chuckled; she looked as if she were about to bristle again.

"Go to my office and catch up on some sleep," he said quite naturally, and then led Gu Anxi away.

The students from Class Two were shocked again. AAAHHH! Gu Anxi was actually taken away by Professor Bo, just like that!

Qin Siyuan stared in the direction they had left, his fists clenching.

Jiang Wanyin, standing beside him, looked horrified.

It’s him! Bo Xichen is actually in Qingcheng!

Shen Wanqing walked over, looked at them, and quietly clenched her own fists.

After a long silence, Jiang Wanyin finally spoke softly, "Qin Siyuan, none of us stand a chance."

"What?" Qin Siyuan’s voice sounded a little faint.

Jiang Wanyin’s expression was unprecedentedly solemn. "Do you know who he is? His status is noble beyond your wildest imagination."

Although Beicheng had its Four Great Families, the Bo Family was preeminent, their power exceeding the other three by a significant margin.

This Professor Bo is... Any budding interest Jiang Wanyin had was instantly extinguished.

Qin Siyuan stared at Gu Anxi’s retreating figure, his fists clenched tightly.

Bo Xichen, just who on earth is he? How could Gu Anxi be with him? And what is their relationship?

Just then, Chu Yan walked over. Looking at Jiang Wanyin with a teasing smile, she said, "So, you’d better stay far away from Gu Anxi from now on, okay? Otherwise, *that person* will be very displeased."

Jiang Wanyin glared at her and turned to leave.

The crowd gradually began to disperse.

Shen Wanqing mulled over Jiang Wanyin’s words, biting her lip so hard it almost bled.

Bo Xichen’s status is actually that noble? Jiang Wanyin is from Beicheng, and judging by his reaction, Bo Xichen must be an incredibly important figure.

She clenched her fists. Why should Gu Anxi get all this affection? Why is *she* the one who knows such a distinguished person?

「Meanwhile」

Bo Xichen took Gu Anxi to the library. As soon as Gu Anxi arrived, she lay down on the sofa.

An overcoat was draped over her, carrying a faint scent of tobacco.

She was a little surprised. Bo Xichen smokes too?!

Watching her hold the coat and sniff it like a little puppy, Bo Xichen recalled the sight of her that morning, sitting on the bed wearing his black shirt. His gaze deepened slightly as he said, "All normal men smoke."

Gu Anxi stared at him for a moment, then muttered softly, I didn’t know.

Then, clutching his coat, she curled up on the sofa and went to sleep. A screen blocked the view, so only Bo Xichen, who was reading medical literature, could see her, occasionally turning his head to glance her way.

Gu Anxi was a very deep sleeper. Or perhaps it couldn’t truly be called sleep... Bo Xichen had examined her but had found nothing conclusive, so he simply set up an office at the school for her to sleep in.

The vast library was very quiet, the only sound the soft RUSTLE of Bo Xichen’s fountain pen on paper.

Gu Anxi woke at eleven in the morning. Perhaps it was because the autumn sunlight felt so wonderfully comfortable; she hugged Bo Xichen’s coat, her eyes narrowed in contentment, as snug as a little kitten.

The library door CREAKED open, followed by the TAP-TAP-TAP of high heels.

Gu Anxi burrowed her face deeper into the coat but made no sound.

From behind a screen, a very gentle female voice said, "Professor Bo, these are some small pastries I made myself. I brought some for my colleagues, and since I saw you were here, I brought some for you too."

Bo Xichen’s voice was rather low, and it was difficult to make out what he said.

The female teacher continued to chat with him with exceptional gentleness, always being the one to find topics for conversation.

Gu Anxi secretly listened for a short while, then rolled over on the sofa. It smells so good!

Teacher Wang, the female teacher, was startled by the sound.
