However, the things that flashed through Chu An’s mind didn’t seem to be easy to fulfill with Gu Xiao now.
Chu An’s eyes darkened for a moment before he looked sideways at Gu Xiao. “Then, can Xiaoxiao agree to one request? 1’11 redeem it with you after I’ve thought it through.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiao raised an eyebrow and looked at Chu An with a hint of mischief.
Chu An met Gu Xiao’s gaze righteously and didn’t think there was anything wrong with this request at all.
“Alright, I agree.”
After getting Gu Xiao’s agreement, Chu An’s eyes lit up. “Then it’s settled.” He had to save this request. He couldn’t use it casually.
Chu An muttered in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.
After looking at the rankings, Gu Xiao and Chu An walked to their seats.
When they passed by Ji Yao, they clearly saw her dark expression.
Gu Xiao thought for a while and looked back at the place where the results were posted.
At this moment, the number of students looking at the results had considerably decreased. Relying on her good eyesight, she could still see the results even though she had walked a little far away.
Naturally, she also saw Ji Yao’s results, who was ranked in the twenties. No wonder Ji Yao’s expression was so ugly.
Gu Xiao retracted her gaze and subconsciously looked in Ji Yao’s direction.
Ji Yao sensed Gu Xiao’s gaze and turned around.
Facing Ji Yao, Gu Xiao deliberately smiled and even raised her eyebrows challengingly at Ji Yao.
As expected, Ji Yao’s expression turned uglier. She looked at Gu Xiao as if she wanted to swallow her alive.
She could not figure it out. She was the one who wanted to see Gu Xiao make a fool of herself. How did it become Gu Xiao making a fool of her?
Ji Yao was filled with hatred, but there was nothing she could do to change the situation.
However, Ji Yao did not expect that the more severe blow was yet to come.
After Gu Xiao and Ji Yao returned home, before they could go upstairs, they bumped into Ji Chen, who had just returned.
When Ji Chen passed by Gu Xiao, he suddenly stopped and looked at Gu Xiao. “1 heard that you ranked fourth in the whole grade?”
Hearing Ji Chen’s words, Gu Xiao was confused.
The results were only released today. How did Ji Chen know about this so quickly?
Although she thought this way, she still nodded at Ji Chen.
Then, under Gu Xiao and Ji Yao’s gazes, Ji Chen reached into his bag, took out a rectangular gift box, and handed it to Gu Xiao.
“This is your reward.” Ji Chen said calmly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with this.
Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment. She looked at the gift box in front of her and suddenly felt her eyes sting. After the gift box was further extended in her direction, Gu Xiao reached out to take it.
She held the gift box in her hand and looked up at Ji Chen. “Can I open it now?”
Ji Chen threw a strange look at Gu Xiao and nodded nonchalantly. “Of course, this is your gift.”
With Ji Chen’s approval, Gu Xiao slowly opened the rectangular gift box that she was holding tightly.
There was a fountain pen lying quietly in the gift box. The fountain pen was completely silver, and the tip seemed to be made of gold. Gu Xiao even saw rubies and diamonds on the fountain pen.
Gu Xiao took out the fountain pen and felt the texture of it in her hand.
She caressed the pen, then looked up and gave Ji Chen a sincere smile.
“Thank you.” She paused, then spoke again. “Thank you, Brother.”
This was the first time she had called Ji Chen ‘brother’. This ‘brother’ meant that she acknowledged Ji Chen from the bottom of her heart. Although there were all kinds of unpleasantness in the Ji Family, Ji Chen was an unexpected surprise to her.
Ji Chen, who was about to leave, stopped when he heard Gu Xiao calling him “brother”.
He looked at the little girl in front of him and his fingers moved. Then, under Gu Xiao’s gaze, he raised his hand and rubbed Gu Xiao’s head.
Just as he thought, it was very soft.
“No need for thanks. This is what i should do..”
