Chapter 246 The Proud One of Heaven
"This is not a place I've been to before." Gu Baozhu looked hesitantly at the villa that seemed to be several times larger. Her eyes slid through the dense garden woods that were glowing with golden arcs of light, and followed the light to the top floor of the villa that was folded into a sharp angle.

"It's quieter here. I think the bigger the activity area, the better my mood will be. What do you think?" Xie Chen asked Gu Baozhu as they walked. There seemed to be something meaningful in his eyes, but he quickly looked away. It seemed like he was just chatting casually.

"..." Gu Baozhu opened her mouth and took a breath of the cold air outside. Her lungs felt like they were soaked in cold water, and her thoughts became quiet. "No matter how big the place is, if you can't go out, it's a cage. Big cage or small cage, there's not much difference in essence."

Xie Chen did not comment, but smiled and consoled him, "Of course, you can come and go as you please here. You are a respectable guest. I have already told them that."

The two of them walked into the warm room naturally. Gu Baozhu saw the servants coming and going. Their words and actions were quiet and appropriate. When they saw Xie Chen, they just smiled and nodded kindly, without calling him Master or anything like that. This made Gu Baozhu a little disappointed. She thought she could experience CEO literature again today...

Even when she was lying on the soft and fragrant bed, Gu Baozhu was still trying to figure out Xie Chen's intention.

There is no change without reason in the world. Any drastic change must be caused by some corresponding internal or external stimulus. So, what happened to make Xie Chen behave so abnormally?

Gu Baozhu pulled the quilt and stared at the ceiling with wide eyes. Was it because of Jiang Yan's impending downfall? But the last time I saw him, he was still quite arrogant. Maybe the downfall of a rich man is just the difference between controlling a business empire and controlling me...

The unfounded guess was even more ridiculous than trying to catch the moon with bare hands. Gu Baozhu stopped daydreaming and answered Leon's call as her phone vibrated loudly.

A very calm tone came from the other side, and the magnetic voice sounded extremely happy, as if it had just bowed out from the opera stage, and the joyful atmosphere was still lingering, as if the next sentence was about to be sung with high spirits, "Where are you now? Send me the address, I can come over to see you."

As soon as the words fell, a faint whisper could be heard.

"...You need to rest and can't move around for the next two days."

"If you continue to mess around, your arms may be affected in the future, such as having difficulty lifting heavy objects and being unable to do strenuous movements..."

"No, I'll have to carry you like a princess in the future!"

Leon groaned, then took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision in an instant. His voice suddenly became louder, as if he was leaning closer to the phone again. “Then I’ll go see you in a few days, but I want to send some flowers and fruits first. Is that okay?”

"No need, I'm much better now, thank you. But you seem to be seriously injured, so it's more important for you to rest." Gu Baozhu said slowly, rubbing her fingers on the school uniform placed beside the bed, her eyes a little empty.

Leon paused for a few seconds, then his voice became hoarse with great emotion, "Well~Okay, I will rest well and come to find you when I grow back."

“……”That’s not necessary.

Gu Baozhu touched the goose bumps on the back of her hand and felt a little sick, as if she could imagine Leon's expression and movements. She suddenly felt as if she was stained with something terrible that was difficult to get rid of.

Compared with Xie Chen, this is a person with an unknown background, but the common point is that he will not harm one's own interests for the time being. If you think about it this way, there is actually nothing to worry about. There is no need to care too much about people who will not get in the way... A dreamless night.

Gu Baozhu was gently called by the servant in the morning. She had breakfast with Xie Chen and got on the car to return to school.

Normally, this type of subject matter can generally be used to make movies with many different themes, such as the classic story of a poor student turning into a top student, a student with special abilities saving the world, a transfer student encountering beautiful love upon arrival, etc. However, recently, because of Gu Yuan's company, the closest movie she has seen is "Piggy Goes to School", haha.

...The fantasy in her heart was quickly shattered. Gu Baozhu insisted on getting off the bus at the previous intersection and walked slowly to the school.

Several competition announcements had been posted on the elegant and tidy bulletin board, with the complex dark blue school emblem engraved on it, making Gu Baozhu feel rare and intimate.

"Crack!"

A loud shutter sound rang out. Gu Baozhu had already taken pictures of all the notices with her old phone. She planned to go and sign up one by one during the break. This familiar feeling seemed to bring her back to the summer of half a year ago, happy and full of hope.

When she reached her old classroom, Gu Baozhu paused for a moment. Only after she saw classmates she was fairly familiar with did she dare to walk in and simply greet them.

"Baozhu is here? Come with me first." The head teacher, Teacher An, stood at the door in high heels. She glanced at the students next to Gu Baozhu, motioned them to be quiet, and smiled as she asked Gu Baozhu to go to the office with her.

"I'm glad that you can come back to class. The school is aware of your situation, so some scholarships that you can apply for will be directly transferred to your account. This money is enough for you to complete your high school courses," Teacher An looked kindly at Gu Baozhu's black and white eyes. Those eyes were warm and calm, completely the eyes of a good student.

She paused, and waited patiently for Gu Baozhu to finish her words of thanks, but she still looked at her with a smile and dropped another big surprise.

"In addition to these, there is another very generous scholarship that can be given to you because you fully meet all the requirements of this scholarship!"

Oh, the Global Scholarship, right? I didn’t expect it could be given to me directly. I thought there had to be some formalities involved… Gu Baozhu’s expression moved slightly, and her pupils moved slightly.

"It's the Leon Scholarship Fund, which was just established this year, and you are one of the first recipients!" Teacher An looked at Gu Baozhu's expression excitedly and saw that she finally opened her mouth and showed a decent surprise.

As the name suggests, Gu Baozhu seemed to see a swaggering dog holding a bone in its mouth and proudly placing it in front of her eyes, rubbing against her palms and thighs and circling around for several times, and finally arching its mouth against her belly, humming and asking for attention...

Teacher An admired Gu Baozhu's joy with satisfaction. She was originally a quiet student, a little distant and cold, but she was very smart and worked seriously... Even though she was meticulous, she would also use her personal strength to protect the interests of the class.

She couldn't help but observe Gu Baozhu's behavior, as if she was watching a young plant grow vigorously. For example, she had seen many kinds of emotions in those dark eyes, but only inferiority. Even when she found a rare solution and was praised by the teacher, she never overflowed with superiority...

Her eyes lit up, as if she was looking at a work of art. This is a true child of destiny!
