Gu Xiao and Mrs Chu ended their conversation. She placed her phone on the desk and looked up at the unfinished homework in front of her. For a moment, she actually lost the motivation to continue writing.

She sat at her desk for a while, but finally gave up the urge to continue writing.

Gu Xiao turned around and glanced at Jiang Meng and Wei Shu, who were focused on their own things. She stood up nimbly and walked to the balcony.

The lake outside the window was still blue, and the sparkling water looked very beautiful.

She looked at the lake not far away and recalled her conversation with Chu An.

When she was in her third year of high school, she had also asked about how Chu An had come to this world.

According to Chu An, after he died in his previous life, he was directly reincarnated into the Chu family. However, before he was four years old, he didn’t have any memories of his previous life.

Recalling his memories of his previous life, because of Chu An’s misunderstanding of Gu Xiao along with the pressure of not being able to walk around as he liked, Chu An was indeed under a lot of psychological pressure. He had even thought of leaving.

It was only under the concern and expectations of Mr Chu, Mrs Chu, and Chu Zi that he temporarily gave up on that idea.

Even after his body miraculously improved, he still did not feel much compatibility with this world.

Looking at the world outside that was completely different from his previous life, Chu An, who had his memories, always felt that he was incompatible with this world.

After meeting Gu Xiao and resolving the misunderstanding, he finally found a sense of belonging in this world and truly treated this world as the world he was in.

Gu Xiao recalled the indifference and dissociation on Chu An’s face when he said these words, and she couldn’t help but clench her fists by her side.

In fact, she could understand Chu An’s feelings. After all, in her previous life, Chu An was a person who was in good health and could even go to the battlefield. After suddenly dying, he came to a completely unfamiliar world and was trapped in a place that could only accommodate spinning horses, so the pressure in his heart was naturally not small.

Especially when he found out that his lover had “betrayed” him before he died, he probably felt even worse.

If not for the memories of his previous life, Chu An might have had an easier life.

Whenever Gu Xiao thought about it now, if she didn’t meet Chu An, then Chu An’s outcome… She really didn’t dare to think too deeply about it.

Looking at the vibrant succulents in front of her and the sparkling lake not far away, Gu Xiao wanted to hear Chu An’s voice.

This thought only circled in Gu Xiao’s mind for a while before she turned around and returned to the dormitory. She took her phone and dialed Chu An’s number.

Before the second ring, Chu An had already picked up the call.

“h.e.l.lo, Xiaoxiao?” Chu An’s worried voice came from beside her ear. “Did my parents say something to you?”

Gu Xiao’s gaze landed on the calm lake. The moment she heard Chu An’s voice, her heart, which had been worried because of what had happened previously, finally settled down.

“No, don’t think too much.” Gu Xiao denied Chu An’s guess. After pausing for a few seconds, she directly said the reason for the call. “I just suddenly want to hear your voice.”

Chu An, who was originally lying on the bed in boredom, suddenly sat up when he heard Gu Xiao’s words.

Because his movements were too big, the entire bed even shook.

The commotion on Chu An’s side attracted Mo Nan and the other two. The three of them looked at Chu An, who had an obvious smile on his face, then retracted their gazes and looked at each other.

What was going on? Mo Nan asked silently.

Xi Cong shrugged. He should be on the phone with Sister-in-law.

Seeing Xi Cong’s silent reply, Mo Nan and Ding Yu instantly understood.

If he was on the phone with Gu Xiao, there was nothing wrong with Chu An’s reaction. It was all normal.

With this thought in mind, Mo Nan and the others retracted their gazes from Chu An and continued with their own matters.

“Then, Xiaoxiao, should I look for you now?” It was clearly a question, but when it came from Chu An’s mouth, it became certainty, and there was even a hint of eagerness.

Gu Xiao chuckled when she heard that.

“You don’t have to take a nap during lunch break?”

It was already the usual time for them to take an afternoon nap.

“I can take an afternoon nap anytime. It’s fine to miss a day,” Chu An said anxiously. “I’ll look for you now.”

During this period of time, he had been at odds with Gu Xiao. Gu Xiao was not the only one who was unwilling.. When he heard Gu Xiao’s words, he wished he could fly to Gu Xiao’s side and make up for the time when the two of them had been in a deadlock!
