Chapter 505: Contact

Chu An fell into Gu Xiao’s arms just like that.
He was much taller than Gu Xiao. If he wanted to crash into Gu Xiao’s arms, he could only curl up. This wasn’t very comfortable, but Chu An felt more at ease.
“But it will take too long,” Chu An said with a sigh.
It had been more than two months since school started. There were only two months left until the summer break.
If he chose to leave with his mentor this time, he might not even be able to come back during the summer vacation. Instead, he would have to stay in the research lab.
The restrictions for the weapons research lab were too strict. It was very difficult to enter, and even harder to leave for no reason.
Even the instructor could not guarantee when he would come out of the research lab after following him this time.
In fact, ever since he talked to Gu Xiao the last time, he would gladly agree and leave with the mentor if the mentor was willing to bring him along for business trips or academic exchanges.
However, he would leave for at most a week. This time, he did not know how many months it would take.
He really wanted this opportunity. He really liked to research and make weapons, but he really didn’t want to leave Gu Xiao’s side.
In her previous life and this life, Gu Xiao had left his side for too long.
Gu Xiao listened attentively to Chu An and didn’t interrupt him. She only gently patted Chu An’s back to calm him down.
After a while, Gu Xiao said, “But you really care about this opportunity, don’t you?”
If it weren’t for the fact that this opportunity was too tempting, Chu An wouldn’t have been so conflicted. Instead, he would have long since rejected his mentor.
Chu An, who was in Gu Xiao’s arms, froze and didn’t know what to say.
He only relaxed after Gu Xiao comforted him.
“Since you’re in a dilemma, how about I help you make a decision?” Gu Xiao said softly with a hint of inquiry.
Chu An hesitated for a moment before nodding in Gu Xiao’s arms.
Gu Xiao looked at Chu An’s back with a hint of a smile in her eyes. “How about you go with the mentor this time?”
Hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Chu An suddenly withdrew from her embrace. Gu Xiao also raised her hands high in the air because of Chu An’s actions.
Chu An grabbed Gu Xiao’s hand, and his gaze became sharp as he looked at Gu Xiao seriously.
“Xiaoxiao, if I’m really going to be gone for so long, won’t you miss me? Won’t you not want me to leave your side?”
The corners of Gu Xiao’s lips curled up into a smile, but when she saw Chu An’s serious expression, she retracted her smile.
She said with the same seriousness, “Of course I’ll miss you, and I don’t want you to leave.”
Upon hearing this, Chu An immediately became a little excited. “Then why did you…”
“But!” Gu Xiao interrupted Chu An’s unfinished words. “But I hope that I’m not the only one in your life. This is something I’ve told you before.”
No one could focus all their emotions and spirit on another person. It was wrong.
In this life, she hadn’t noticed it when she met Chu An, but the longer she stayed with Chu An, the more she realized that Chu An really cared too much about her.
When she turned around or unintentionally, she would discover that Chu An was paying attention to her almost all the time.
At this moment, she knew that something was wrong.
Therefore, she hoped that Chu An had more things that could become the carrier of his emotions.’
Moreover, Gu Xiao wasn’t worried that Chu An would forget about her if he had other interests. She was very confident in Chu An, which was why she boldly encouraged Chu An to pursue what he liked.
Chu An opened his mouth but ultimately didn’t say anything.
He naturally knew what Gu Xiao meant. He also understood that Gu Xiao was doing this for his own good and did not want him to miss such a precious opportunity.
However, the thought of not being able to see Gu Xiao for a long time still made him unable to make up his mind.
“Even in the laboratory, you should be able to contact me, right? If that’s the case, what do you have to worry about?”
Chu An had to admit that Gu Xiao was right.
Although he had gone to the laboratory, he was only an unofficial staff member after all. The control over his contacts was not too strict.
Therefore, if he wanted to contact Gu Xiao, he just had to ask the teacher and the teacher would agree.
