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

Maybe because it was just the beginning of the school year and there wasn’t a lot to do, Gu Mingxuan soon heard the sound of the doorknob turning.

I saw a girl, wearing a white pleated skirt, a black and white plaid top, and carrying a black bag, walking into the room in a hurry.

She was wearing a pair of small black leather shoes with white low-top socks, and looking up, she had straight and slender…

Gu Mingxuan withdrew his gaze, coughed lightly, and stood up from the sofa.

Seeing Gu Mingxuan's figure, Li Xia was stunned at the door, still trying to close it.

"Gu... Teacher Gu, why are you here?"

It is a bit too dreamy for a person in China to suddenly appear abroad.

"I'm on a business trip and passing by here."

The journey of more than 600 kilometers from Edinburgh to London was just a passing moment for Gu Mingxuan.

"So that's it."

Li Xia did not become suspicious. After all, Gu Mingxuan had been here for two years, so it was normal for him to come back here for something.

Looking at the windbreaker Gu Mingxuan was wearing, Li Xia walked over and said, "It's so hot, and you're still wearing such a thick windbreaker."

Hearing this, Gu Mingxuan lowered his head, looked at his clothes, then slowly took off his windbreaker and hung it on the hanger in the corner.

The clothes he was wearing were the ones Li Xia bought for him when he was in Hangzhou.

When Li Xia saw this set of clothes, her attention was instantly attracted to it. She looked at Gu Mingxuan with some surprise, and a light flashed in her eyes for a moment.

Before she could say anything, she heard Gu Mingxuan explaining himself: "This set of clothes is quite comfortable to wear, and I have washed all my other clothes..."

"Have you washed them all?"

Li Xia covered her mouth, giggled, and then withdrew her hand that was blocking her smile.

I don’t know why, but my mood suddenly became very good.

So happy, so happy.

It turns out that even someone as smart as Teacher Gu would use such a nonsensical excuse.

"Okay, Mr. Gu, how long will you be abroad on this business trip?"

"A season should last more than three months."

"So long? What kind of game takes so long to play?"

“A game that is very popular abroad but very niche in China.”

Gu Mingxuan explained casually.

"That's it."

Li Xia said.

Seeing Li Xia's appearance, Gu Mingxuan felt like he seemed to have forgotten something.

What was the reason why he asked Li Xia to come back?

Thinking of this, Gu Mingxuan asked calmly, with a questioning tone, "Did you rent this house to someone else?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Xia's expression froze and became a little embarrassed.

"Well... Mr. Gu, the monthly rent for this house is equivalent to RMB 9,900. I am a student and cannot afford it, so I sublet it to someone else."

"I paid your rent for a year."

Gu Mingxuan said lightly.

"One...a year?"

Li Xia's face was filled with shock. She quickly calculated in her mind how much the annual rent would be.

About 110,000.

In addition, the last time she returned to China, Teacher Gu also booked a first-class ticket for her.

All added up, it’s about 200,000.

Li Xia's face turned red, not because of shyness, but because of shame.

The child has been innocent since he was young and has never owed so much money.

If her mother knew about this, she would be kicked out of the house.

"Gu... Teacher Gu, what if I can't pay back the money?"

Li Xia looked at Gu Mingxuan pitifully, with an expression as if she was about to cry.

Looking at this expression, Gu Mingxuan felt a little bit sorry.

Although he had never thought of asking Li Xia to return the money, after all, it was he who took the initiative.

However, when he saw Li Xia's expression, he actually began to want to tease her.

"Can't you afford it?"

Gu Mingxuan sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said seriously: "When you get married in the future, you can pay me back by asking for more betrothal gifts."

After hearing this, Li Xia raised his head and thought it was a good idea.

But after a moment's thought, she felt that she didn't want to get married yet, so she immediately lowered her head and whispered, "I don't want to get married yet."

Hearing this, Gu Mingxuan frowned slightly and murmured, "This won't do..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his serious face suddenly froze.

Oops, he accidentally said it... No, is this what he really thinks?

"I really don't want to get married. I haven't been in a relationship yet, I haven't met someone I like yet, and I don't want to get married just for the bride price."

"You don't have anyone you like?" Gu Mingxuan grasped the key point of this sentence.

"No, if I had someone I liked, how could I live with you, Teacher Gu? After all, it's not a good idea for a man and a woman to live together."

Gu Mingxuan:......

Makes sense.

"Isn't it Teacher Gu? If you have someone you like, why would you share an apartment with another girl?"

"Ah."

Gu Mingxuan nodded, agreeing with Li Xia's statement.

"I plan to continue living here during the three months of my business trip. What are your plans?"

Hearing this, Li Xia raised her head again and said in surprise: "Really? Then I must have come back. The food here is too bad..."

At this point, Li Xia suddenly blushed again, and said a little embarrassedly: "Teacher Gu, you spend money on me, you should cook for me, how can I feel embarrassed about this."

"money……"

Gu Mingxuan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Money is the least valuable thing to him.

"Doctor Li, how long have we known each other?"

Gu Mingxuan asked.

"We've known each other... probably for more than a year."

"More than a year."

Gu Mingxuan repeated it, then stood up from the sofa, put his hands behind his back, walked to the window, and looked at the street outside.

I don’t know when it started to drizzle outside, the scenery in the distance was foggy, and pedestrians on the road were coming and going with umbrellas.

Only then did Gu Mingxuan notice that when Li Xia came over, she also brought an umbrella.

"After so long, we should be very familiar with each other, right?" Gu Mingxuan said lightly.

"Of course I'm familiar..."

Li Xia looked at Gu Mingxuan with some confusion, not knowing why the other party would say such inexplicable words.

But she didn't know that when one person says inexplicable words to another person, it proves that love has begun to be nurtured.

"From now on, just call me Brother Gu, just like Luo Ye."

Gu Mingxuan said this with his back to Li Xia.

The latter was slightly startled.

Gu... Brother Gu...

Her heartbeat suddenly began to speed up.

You know, in her heart, Gu Mingxuan has always been a very, very powerful, yet very, very approachable person.

This title undoubtedly brought the two closer together, and made Li Xia's heart beat with that long-lost feeling again.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she was in a very good mood every moment she was with Teacher Gu.

That feeling of security, the desire to rely on him, the desire to do something for him...

After leaving Teacher Gu, her mind was filled with efforts to become an excellent doctor.

Only when she is with Teacher Gu can she relax and be that little girl again.

"Brother Gu."

Li Xia came behind Gu Mingxuan and murmured with a red face.

Gu Mingxuan remained calm on the surface.

But what came into view was the foggy rainy day, the streets and houses that I had seen countless times, all seemed to have turned into beautiful scenery.
