Chapter 149: Gu Xi's number of votes was shooting up. (4)

With that on her mind, Gu Xi was distracted all the way until the end of the school day.

When school was out, Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi came over and dragged Gu Xi with them.

Why are we in a hurry? asked Gu Xi, baffled.

Gu Chenyi, on the other hand, was very happy. Big Brother is treating us.

Big Brother.

Yeah. Its somewhere close. Barbeque! Big Brother is already in line. Lets hurry up to get there and eat fast.

Pausing a little, Gu Chenyi added, Oh right, dont eat too much, maybe just till you are 70 80% full. We will still have to eat some in front of Grandpa.

- The adults of the Gu family were straight and were adamant that they do not eat out especially when it came to junk food.

As such, the few of them could only eat in stealth.

To avoid being caught, whenever they ate out, they would still have to have another meal with the adults afterward like normal.

Gu Yanxiao then said to Gu Xi, Dont worry about time. Just enjoy. Push comes to shove, we will tell Grandpa that Gu Chenyi and I were playing basketball and forgot about time and you were waiting on us.

Gu Xi nodded.

Doesnt Big Brother need to go to school? She seemed to recall that Gu Yanlin was just 17 years old.

Gu Yanxiao and Gu YuanChens faces almost dropped at the same time after Gu Xis question.

Gu Chenyi had a lot of mental activities as he looked at Gu Xi. He felt aggrieved: Whatever happened to him and Gu Xi being the closest in the Gu family?

It was lucky that Gu Xi couldnt read his mind. Otherwise, she would have retorted with: When did we agree on that?

Even if they did, Gu Shao would always be the first to her, then others.

Nevertheless, looked at Gu Chenyis pitiful look and even knowing that most of that was faked, Gu Xi still stroked his head as though to comfort him and said, Next time. I will go with you next time.

She then ran toward her dads car.

That night, at home, Gu Xi dragged on her feet when she went looking for Gu Shao in his study.

Hearing the shuffling noises outside the door, Gu Xi looked up from his documents, looked in the doors direction, and asked, You need my signature?

Mmhmm. Gu Xi nodded and shuffled in front of Gu Shao with her notebook in hand.

There were almost never any mistakes on Gu Xis homework assignments but Gu Xi still looked through them carefully after Gu Xi had handed it over to him.

After he had signed on each subject, Gu Shao returned the notebook to Gu Xi and urged, Dont stay up too late.

Okay. Gu Xi nodded but didnt move.

Dad

Whats the matter? Gu Shaos tone lightened when he saw Gu Xi obviously had something on her mind.

Its After hesitating for a little while, Gu Xi finally looked up at Gu Shao seriously and said, I have a very serious problem to discuss with you, Dad.
