There was no scandal about the school beauty until I went to college

Let’s go back to last month.

London, May 8th.

At 7:30 in the morning, Gu Mingxuan opened his eyes from the bed and prepared to get up and prepare breakfast for the day.

Although it is called breakfast, it is actually just some toasted bread.

There is also some cream and various fruit jams in the refrigerator.

After baking the bread until it was soft and fragrant, Gu Mingxuan's phone suddenly rang.

Because of the time difference, it should be afternoon in Beijing now.

Seeing that it was Chen Shaoman calling, Gu Mingxuan answered the phone and asked, "What's the matter?"

"What's the matter? What else are you asking me? Do you know what day it is today?"

"What day?"

"It's your birthday."

Chen Shaoman was speechless.

Her son has been extremely smart since he was young, far surpassing his peers, but he is not interested in his own affairs.

At this time, Li Xia also woke up. She changed into casual clothes and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up.

As soon as she went out, she saw Gu Mingxuan talking on the phone.

Because Gu Mingxuan has the habit of turning on the speakerphone when he calls his family, Li Xia heard it clearly. Today is Teacher Gu’s birthday.

She was slightly stunned, then took another step and went to the bathroom to wash up.

While brushing her teeth, Li Xia looked at herself in the mirror.

Because she just got up and didn't put on any makeup, Li Xia looked a little listless.

After all, after working continuously for such a long time, she was overloaded both mentally and physically.

If Gu Mingxuan had not been taking care of her during this period, she would probably have fallen ill.

During the epidemic, I did not fall ill because of the epidemic, but because of overwork.

After coming out of the bathroom, Li Xia walked to the door and prepared to change shoes and go to the hospital.

At this time, Gu Mingxuan asked: "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I got up late today, so I won't eat."

Li Xia said weakly.

"Eat some."

The living room was filled with the aroma of bread.

After hearing what Gu Mingxuan said, Li Xia also hesitated, wondering whether she should take two slices of bread so that she could eat while walking on the road.

As we all know, bread is most attractive when it is freshly baked.

Every time I pass by a bakery, the fragrant aroma wafts through the air.

But the bread I bought home was already cold, so I couldn't taste the smell I had in the bakery.

Li Xia returned to the table, picked up two slices of bread, and prepared to leave again.

"Where are you going?" Gu Mingxuan suddenly asked.

"Go to the hospital." Li Xia replied with some confusion.

Isn't this what she does every day? Why did Teacher Gu ask one more question today?

"No need to go."

Gu Mingxuan sat at the table, spreading jam on bread and spoke to Li Xia.

No need to go?

Li Xia stood at the door in a daze, not quite understanding what the other person was saying.

"I've asked for leave for you. You've been working for so long, you should take a break."

"But……"

Li Xia wanted to refute, but in her mind, she recalled the voice of Teacher Gu on the phone just now.

Today is Teacher Gu’s birthday.

For some reason, an idea came to her mind, and she felt that she could put her other things aside for the time being.

She has been going to the hospital for a long time, and compared to before, the situation in the hospital has improved a lot during this period. One more or one less won't make much difference.

Even if you take a leave, it won't affect anything.

"it is good."

Li Xia walked back and sat opposite Teacher Gu, and also imitated the latter, spreading the same jam on the bread.

She took a bite and found that the bread baked by Teacher Gu was very delicious.

To judge whether the bread is delicious or not, you can actually tell by pinching it.

All the soft breads that Li Xia has eaten so far taste very good.

While eating bread, Li Xia fell into deep thought.

If today is Teacher Gu’s birthday, what gift should she give him?

She was in London and didn't seem to have anything nice to give as a gift.

Compared to this, she was actually more curious about what Teacher Gu needed.

During this period of time together, she felt that Teacher Gu seemed to need nothing.

What would someone like Teacher Gu, who has never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood, want in his heart?

I’ll go ask Fanfan later, after all, Teacher Gu is her teacher.

After breakfast, Li Xia returned to her room and made a video call to Fanfan.

After the call was connected, Luo Ye's face appeared on the screen.

"Why are you here?" Li Xia asked casually.

"Sister Li Xia, the senior is taking a shower."

As soon as these words came out, Li Xia showed a dissatisfied expression and said righteously: "What's wrong with taking a shower? It's not like we haven't taken a shower together before. We are in a relationship, why are you being so formal?"

Hearing this, Luo Ye just smiled and asked, "Why did you call me? Sister Li Xia."

"Well, by the way, I'm asking you the same thing. I want to ask, what does your cousin like? Is there anything he wants?"

"Want it? Is Sister Li Xia going to give my cousin a birthday present?"

Because Luo Ye was in China and didn't know how to buy a gift for his cousin abroad, he just made a video call like his aunt and sent his best wishes.

Many times, family members don’t need so many complicated rituals, because as long as there is blood relationship, the bond will never be broken.

"Yes, if I hadn't heard the call from Teacher Gu's mother, I wouldn't have known that today was Teacher Gu's birthday. He's really something. We've been renting together for so long, but he didn't even tell me that today was his birthday."

Hearing this, Luo Ye said helplessly: "It's not his fault. I guess if it wasn't for my aunt's call, he wouldn't know that today is his birthday... However, based on my understanding of Brother Gu, he never accepts birthday gifts from girls, so Sister Li Xia doesn't have to waste her efforts."

"Is that so? Why doesn't he accept gifts from girls?" Li Xia asked.

"Growing up, the gifts that girls gave to Brother Gu were all in the hope of being with him, but Brother Gu didn't have that idea, so he rejected them all."

Luo Ye said, he thought about it, and continued: "If the gift is really just to wish him a happy birthday, without any other thoughts, he might accept such a gift, but such a girl has never appeared next to my cousin."

"Like this?"

Li Xia murmured.

If this is true, then Teacher Gu is actually a very innocent person?

If a gift is given as a suitor, Gu Mingxuan will not accept it unless he agrees with the other party's idea.

Even if it was in the name of his birthday, he wouldn't accept it.

Because he knew that birthdays were just excuses.

No wonder even Teacher Judy said that Teacher Gu is an insulator against women.

But after being with Teacher Gu for so long, why didn’t she have this feeling?

Could it be that because she... has no intention of having a romantic relationship with Teacher Gu, Teacher Gu would be normal in being friends with her?

If that’s the case, Teacher Gu will definitely accept the gift she gives, right?

But what should I give?

Looking at Li Xia's tangled expression on the screen, Luo Ye reminded: "Brother Gu has everything he needs, so he cares more about the thought behind the gift than the value of the gift."

"I understand."

Li Xia suddenly realized.
