Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

Chapter 261 Universe plotting against you

“Where is Shangyan?” An Qinyan asked as she didn’t see him anywhere.

“There, he is, ” An Qinyan said as Gu Shangyan came from outside. “How was your day at the library?”

“It was as usual, “Gu Shangyan said with a rare smile on his face. No one realised that each time he would leave for the library, he would have this smile on his face.

A Xiulan raised her eyes to look at her brother. Just with one glance, she knew that he didn’t go to the library but to meet Yoona. Of course, she didn’t say anything. It was his life and he could lead it the way he wanted. Was she bitter that he got into a relationship without the knowledge of anyone? Maybe.

Initially, she didn’t realize it but now she could see that he never left his room these days. When all thought he was studying, he was always one to phone talking or chatting with Yoona.

She groaned when she recalled Han Zixin’s comment about Yoona transferring her cold virus to Gu Shangyan. She didn’t want to imagine anything like that. In her heart, her brothers are as pure as anything possible.

“Auntie and Uncle, I have a question,” Gu Shangyan asked, taking his seat. “Should I prepare for Tsinghua University or prepare for studying abroad?”

“It’s completely up to you, ” The couple said without any discussion. They wouldn’t interfere with children’s matters. They could study whatever they wanted to and wherever they wished.

“Why are you thinking about going abroad? Didn’t you want to go to a domestic university?” Gu Yanxi asked. He remembered children discussing this one day.

“I’m just looking for all the available options, ” Gu Shangyan replied. He had long chosen his major to be architecture. What he needed to choose was which college he wanted to study in.

“I am not going abroad, ” Lu Xuan announced all of a sudden. “If I get into Tsinghua or Peking, I will take it.”

An Xiulan looked at her brothers and sighed. The world of toppers was really different. Here, she had no idea if she would even get into college, her brothers were deciding which top university they wanted to go to. Only if she wasn’t that dumb.

She wasn’t jealous that she was stupid and they were genius. It was just that she wished she could study like them for hours. Gu Shangyan could sit for 5 hours straight and study without any tiredness but she… if she didn’t take a break every thirty minutes, her brain refused to take anything else inside it.

“What about you, Teeny?” Lu Xuan raised his brow at his twin. “What are future plans?”

“Not failing the next monthly tests?” An Xiulan said with a hesitated look.

Both Gu Shangyan and Lu Xuan sighed as if they had been expecting too much from her. Actually, they were expecting too much from her. Last year, they could help her with her studies but this year, her stream was completely different from theirs and even if they wanted, they couldn’t help her. She was on her own now.

After that all of them had breakfast in peace, the boys were doing much talking while she was once again thinking about the number of bundles of books in her bedroom that were placed untouched. Would she be able to finish those books?

“Crybaby, I made math notes and placed them in your room. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me, ” Gu Shangyan said and An Xiulan nodded her head. Their streams were different but mathematics, English and Chinese were common between them.

An Xiulan found a site on the internet and bought its premium subscription. It was very good subject material for her and it almost cleared her maths doubts. Aside from politics, she was working on all of her subjects. After all, she couldn’t let her other subjects fall as she tried to uplift one.

When the meal ended, An Qinyan glanced at her daughter and said, “Lanlan, mom is going out shopping with your uncle. Do you wanna come with us? We will get a nice haircut.”

An Xiulan, who was lying on the couch in the living room and cuddling with Betty and Augustine said, “Mom, I am growing my hair.”

“Give a little trimming to your hair. So, they will grow well, ” An Qinyan said as she came near her. “We will have a girl’s day out.”

“No, I’m fine.” She said, waving goodbye to them.

Gu Yanxi and An Qinyan shared a look but didn’t say anything.

When the elders left for shopping on the weekend, An Xiulan gazed at her brothers who were playing video games and felt alone once again. She only noticed now how she was always left alone by the two of them. They never involved her in their things. Maybe, they thought she was too stupid to play with them.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to go out with her mom but she didn’t want to intervene in their personal time. Her mom didn’t get much time to spend with her uncle and she didn’t want a third wheel between them. Uncle Yanxi was the key to her mom’s happiness and she wanted both of them to spend their weekend alone with each other.

She went to the garden and began calling her friend to hang out with them. What did they say? When the universe is plotting against you, no one could save you. This was what she was feeling right now. It was like nothing was going well in her life.

Han Zixin was visiting the hospital with his grandfather for a regular check-up. Song Xueyun and her mom had gone out fir shopping. Shen Yue was busy with home chores as her mother was doing overtime.

There was just no one left to hang out with An Xiulan. Thus, she went back to her room and began finishing the books. It would be better if she utilised her time in studying than playing around.
