Chapter 504: Precious Opportunity

Editor: Henyee Translations

When Chu An heard Gu Xiao’s words, his expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly retracted it.

He looked at Gu Xiao with his usual smile. “What is Xiaoxiao talking about? Why don’t I understand?”

Gu Xiao leaned forward slightly and moved her face closer to Chu An. At this moment, they were very close to each other. It seemed that if they leaned forward a little more, the tip of their noses would touch.

Chu An avoided eye contact with Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao smiled at Chu An before retracting her body and returning to the same distance as before.

“You still say that you don’t have anything on your mind? If you didn’t have anything on your mind just now, then I really don’t know how you act would show that you really don’t have anything on your mind.”

With the distance between her and Chu An just now, Chu An was actually able to remain unmoved. Normally, this would have been impossible.

As long as she was slightly closer to Chu An and didn’t show any signs of rejection, Chu An would directly kiss her regardless.

After the kiss, he would then accuse her of seducing him.

Every time she saw Chu An righteously say that he was the one who seduced him, Gu Xiao wished she could directly slap Chu An awake and stop him from talking to himself.

Of course, Gu Xiao’s judgment wasn’t limited to Chu An’s reaction just now.

She knew Chu An too well. Even if Chu An wanted to hide it, she could still sense that something was wrong with Chu An.

His actions just now had only thoroughly verified her thoughts.

Chu An recalled his past actions towards Gu Xiao and suddenly felt that it wasn’t a big problem for Gu Xiao to be suspicious because of this.

Seeing that he couldn’t hide it anymore, Chu An directly collapsed on the back of the sofa. He stretched out his hand in frustration and fiercely scratched his head.

When Gu Xiao saw this, she closed the distance between her and Chu An and held Chu An’s hand that he had placed at his side.

She looked at Chu An seriously. “So, can you tell me what’s bothering you?”

Gu Xiao didn’t want there to be too many secrets between her and Chu An. Or rather, she didn’t want Chu An to bury bad things in his heart, and she wouldn’t know anything.

This feeling was really too terrible.

Therefore, she wanted to figure out what Chu An was worried about or troubled about.

Chu An didn’t say anything. Instead, he held Gu Xiao’s hand tightly, as if this way, he could keep holding Gu Xiao in his hands.

Gu Xiao didn’t rush him. She just sat beside Chu An and quietly waited for him to speak.

She believed that after Chu An figured it out, he would tell her the cause of the matter.

As expected, Chu An didn’t make Gu Xiao wait for too long. In just a few minutes, Chu An figured it out and straightened his body. He turned to the side and faced Gu Xiao, but he lowered his head as if he still didn’t want to meet her eyes.

“Two days ago, my mentor came to see me once.”

There was a hint of hoa.r.s.eness in Chu An’s voice, as if he didn’t want to talk about this. However, since Gu Xiao wanted to know, he brought it up.

Gu Xiao rubbed the back of Chu An’s hand with her fingers, gently stroking it again and again, as if to appease Chu An’s emotions.

“Yes, so? Why did the mentor look for you?”

Chu An opened his mouth, then closed it in embarra.s.sment.

After being comforted by Gu Xiao, he continued, “Teacher needs to go to the laboratory this time and wants to bring me along.”

The mentor who taught Chu An wasn’t a teacher from A University previously, but was requested by the princ.i.p.al of A University to teach this batch of students.

As for the teacher’s job, his real job was doing research and development in the laboratory.

However, after the princ.i.p.al found out that the mentor had not done any special research during this period of time, he relied on their previous relations to ask the mentor to come out of seclusion. Moreover, he agreed that as long as the mentor had something on, he could leave at will.

Just two days ago, the mentor suddenly looked for Chu An and said that he had something to do and needed to return to the laboratory. He asked if Chu An was willing to follow him to learn.

This was an extremely precious opportunity for every Weapon Systems and Engineering student.

Especially since Chu An was only a freshman, it was even more difficult for her to gain the favor of a teacher and have this opportunity.

Gu Xiao reached out and tidied Chu An’s messy hair. Her voice was as gentle as ever.

So, why are you hesitating when it’s such a good opportunity?” Gu Xiao asked..
