Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Little Boy Yu is more straightforward than Gu Ci.
Grandma said, “If Cici likes it, let her be.”
“Liu Ze’s three sons, Liu Shijie is sinister, Liu Shixiu is a fool, Lu Zhiyuan…” Jiang Minghua said lightly, “I don’t know about his character. Junlin, what do you think?”
Jiang Junlin calmly sipped his tea, “I know very little, so I won’t comment.”
Gu Ci said, “I have a sense of measure, don’t worry.”
When the mother and son returned to the Global Sports Center, they encountered Lu Zhiyuan and Li Jiang heading out. Lu Zhiyuan was still dressed in a black windbreaker, exuding an air of nobility and dominance with every move.
When Lu Zhiyuan saw them, he paused for a moment and glanced at Li Jiang.
Li Jiang came over and said, “Miss Gu Ci, Third Master is going on a business trip and will be away for seven days.”
“I know.”
After Lu Zhiyuan and Li Jiang left, Gu Ci watched their figures and wondered why they were leaving in such a hurry. Something must have happened.
Gu Ziyu puffed up his cheeks and asked, “Did he lose his voice? Why did he ask Li Jiang to tell you?”
“Don’t pay attention to the details,” Gu Ci chuckled and left with Gu Ziyu. Lu Zhiyuan had cautioned them not to tell anyone about his split personality, and Gu Ci had no intention of telling Gu Ziyu either.
She hoped that in Gu Ziyu’s heart, his father would be a healthy person.
Three days after Lu Zhiyuan’s business trip, A University began its new semester.
Gu Ci, Gu Ziyu, and Zhou Jinjin went together for registration. Half of the students in the Medical School came to catch a glimpse of Gu Ci, making her instantly the belle of A University. A set of high-definition photos taken on campus quickly went viral, and Gu Ci was hailed as the campus beauty. The male students in the Medical School were all stirred up, except for a few nerds. Everyone wanted to court her and win her favor.
In addition to Gu Ci’s popularity at A University, Gu Ziyu, the six-year-old double Ph.D. holder, who was also pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Management, attracted a lot of attention as well. The online forums erupted once again, with comments from A University’s academic elites, both freshmen and senior students, stating that they had never seen anything like it before. This batch of primary school students was too extraordinary.
Gu Ci and Gu Ziyu were siblings!
The two became the brightest sights at A University during the new semester, attracting the highest level of discussion.
Gu Chuyun was a celebrity violinist with a large fan base, and although the Gu family had gone bankrupt, her presence still commanded attention. On the day of registration, reporters followed her, but she was quickly overshadowed by Gu Ziyu and Gu Ci. Her presence barely made a ripple.
News about Gu Ziyu also spread throughout the campus, but there was no buzz on social media.
Unlike previous years, A University had military training after the start of the semester. Gu Ziyu didn’t need to participate in military training since he was already attending regular classes when the undergraduate students were undergoing training. Gu Ci was at the school, and he planned to stay in the dormitory for a few days.
Gu Ci’s dormitory had four roommates, all from A City. Gu Ci’s bed was by the window, with her name affixed to it. When she arrived, she found a long-haired girl tearing off her name tag, intending to switch beds.
Being caught by Gu Ci, the girl didn’t show any guilt. “Let’s switch beds.”
Gu Ci had no intention of getting entangled in this matter with her. She had no objections and laid out the bedding she brought, neatly organizing her belongings. After finishing, she went out to find Gu Ziyu.
“Gu Ci is so arrogant, she doesn’t even acknowledge people.”
“What status does she have? Why would she pay attention to us commoners?” said Zhang Ping with a strange tone.
When they arrived at Gu Ziyu’s dormitory had four rooms, one living room, and two bathrooms. There was a communal kitchen, and the environment was excellent. Because of Gu Ziyu’s popularity as the “baby” in the dormitory, his bed had already been prepared by the doctoral brothers. They even bought various snacks for him. One of them had a clear motive and asked, “Baby, does your sister have a boyfriend?”
Gu Ziyu’s face turned dark, and he examined the doctoral brother with a dignified and cold demeanor. “When I grow up, I will have a sister-brother relationship with my sister. Give up already.”
The doctoral brothers didn’t know how to respond.
Despite his arrogant attitude, the three prospective doctors didn’t argue with him. His cuteness made him endearing. When Gu Ci arrived, Gu Ziyu was holding an ice cream stick, enjoying his power over others.
Gu Ci greeted each of them one by one. “I’ll have to rely on all of you to take care of him in the future.”
Several male students were enchanted by her smile, wishing to swear to raise Gu Ziyu as their own son. Gu Ci took Gu Ziyu to tour the campus.
Zhou Jinjin also finished packing and came to find them. Gu Ziyu held a map, and there was a separate teaching building and laboratory for the Medical School. The Finance School and Computer Science had many courses in the same building, not far away.
Within the university, there were six cafeterias and a western restaurant, as well as desserts. The environment was beautiful, and the atmosphere for studying was very strong. Wherever Gu Ci and Gu Ziyu went, they became a focal point, capturing the attention of everyone on campus.
Gu Ci sent several photos taken on campus to Lu Zhiyuan but received no response.
“You’re so shallow. Don’t tell me you’ve encountered another scumbag.”
“My eyes are wide open.”
“You only dated Liu Shixiu because you found him good-looking,” Gu Ci mercilessly exposed her, “If you only look at appearances, you’ll definitely attract scum.”
“You’re also obsessed with looks.”
“No, I’m not!” Gu Ci retorted, “If I were obsessed with looks, I would have fallen for Liu Zhiyuan a long time ago. There’s no need to waste ten years.”
“You make a valid point, I can’t argue with that,” Zhou Jinjin asked, “So, did your feelings develop over time?”
The three of them chatted and laughed as they strolled around the campus, getting familiar with the locations of classrooms, cafeterias, and the library.
Gu Ci was the most efficient, with the lab building and classrooms being nearby, right next to the cafeteria.
Gu Ci sent a few pictures of the campus to Liu Zhiyuan, but received no response.
The next day was the military training. Gu Ci woke up early, as she was disciplined by nature. When it was time to gather, the three girls in the dormitory were slow to get ready. As Gu Ci changed clothes and left the room, they only started to get up. True to form, they were late when it was time to line up.
The instructor was strict, and after being late, the whole group had to run for half an hour. The female students complained about the strenuous exercise and received a lesson. Gu Ci rarely engaged in conversations with others, but on the training ground, she was the most eye-catching figure. Wherever she went, people secretly took pictures of her.
On the fifth day of military training, Gu Ci noticed that her dormitory mate, Liu Yu, had suffered from heatstroke. She suddenly collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth. Everyone was startled, and no one dared to help her.
Gu Ci quickly rushed over and held her, laying her flat on the ground. Liu Yu continued to vomit from her stomach, so Gu Ci made her roll onto her side to prevent the vomit from blocking her airway.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Ping frowned and said, “Gu Ci, don’t touch her recklessly. What if something happens? Can you take responsibility?”
Gu Ci paid no attention and unbuttoned the top button of Liu Yu’s military uniform, relieving her rapid breathing. A crowd gathered around, all concerned about Liu Yu. Gu Ci stepped forward and blocked them, saying, “She needs fresh air. Please give her some space!”
The instructor dispersed the crowd as the condition of a person having an epileptic seizure was too distressed to be suitable for onlookers. After providing first aid, the doctor arrived quickly, and they had someone take Liu Yu to the medical room.
The doctor praised Gu Ci, “As expected from the Medical School, your first aid was prompt and accurate..”
