Chapter 130 - It was Gu Xian, along with Gu Chenyi. (1)

Her phone continued to vibrate in her pocket.

A few minutes later, Gu Xi finally gave in and pulled her phone out again.

She sneaked a peek over in Gu Shao's direction.

Gu Shao was on another call by now and was giving instructions to the person on the other end of the call. Gu Xi pulled out her phone again and switched it to her other hand. She placed it on the seat and was about to continue her discussion with [AAA].

Gu Xi thought that she had perfectly avoided Gu Shao when she did all that but what she didn't know was that Gu Shao saw all of it.

[Perhaps we should meet in person.] That was the last thing that [AAA] said.

– This wasn't an easy project, especially on the self-learning emotion-mimicking part. It was a little bit on the complicated side and difficult to communicate over the phone. It would be much easy to talk it through face to face.

Besides, he wanted to badly to meet up with this Bro [X]. That and throwing in [Lin]. If the three of them were to brainstorm together, they might come up with even more ideas!

Gu Xi understood what he meant. She thought about it some and both of them seemed to be in City B. They could meet up or video chat.

But another question popped into Gu Xi's mind quickly. What if they no longer want her on their team after finding out that she was a minor?

Gu Xi quickly fell into a struggle.

Next to her, Gu Shao's face had gotten longer. "......"

That night, Gu Shao, sitting inside his study, looked up some student education exchange website and posted a question: "Under what circumstances would one save someone's name under a pseudonym, i.e. AAA, instead of the person's actual name?"

The responses came quickly.

[Hahaha. I normally use 10086 or 10000.]

[What a coincident. I use AAA as my girlfriend's codename as well.]

[Probably when they didn't want their parents to know who the other person is.]

[They didn't even put much thought into that one. I have a better idea. My mom didn't want me to play mobile games so I rename all of my in-game teammates with names of the good students in class. I even rename our group name to 'study group'. We have codes as well. If we talk about how many questions there are today, that meant how many rounds are we going to play today......]

Most of the who replied were students and, looked at all the random replies, Gu Shao frowned.

After he navigated away from that website, he typed in a few words in the search box: "The other person suggested to meet when chatting......"

Gu Shao had yet to finish what he was typing when a bunch of suggestions popped up.

[You are going to meet up in real life!]

[Internet romance? Let's meet up.]

[My internet romance for a year asked me to meet up in real life.]

[I am about to meet up with my internet romance. I wonder if it will work out.]

......

Gu Shao's face turned dark: What the heck?!

Aunty Mei noticed that Gu Shao was staring straight at his computer with a not-too-happy look when she brought him tea.

"Sir, here's your tea. It's getting late. You shouldn't stay up too late. Not even for your work." Aunty Mei went in and put the cup of tea down next to Gu Shao. She was about to suggest Gu Shao to turn in early when she noticed that he didn't seem to be working.

Aunty Mei glanced over at his screen and the search result was still on there.

"How to find out whether you child is in an internet romance?"

"What to do when your child is in an internet romance?"

"What are parents' thoughts when their children started dating when in junior high school?"

......

Aunty Mei was taken aback a little. She looked perplexed. Before she could figure anything out, Gu Shao had already closed out the browser.

"Something else, Aunty Mei?" asked Gu Shao.

"Oh yes. I do have a question for you, Sir." Aunty Mei paused for a little and said, "Mid-Autumn Festival is in a few days. Should we prepare a set of pretty outfits for Xiao Xi if you are going to go out?"

She may sound like she was asking about an outfit for Gu Xi when, in reality, she wanted to see if Gu Shao would be going over to the Gu family in a roundabout way.
