At the end of the year, many courses in the school were about to end and exams were required, and Gu Yang went back to Huazhong University more often.

When she and Gu Jin were not in the dormitory, Qiao Manman and Ning Gui got along very well.

Ning Gui is quite socially anxious. Except for classes, he usually spends most of his time in the library. Occasionally, he would be dragged out to play by Qiao Manman.

Ning Shen seemed to be very busy recently and did not use Madam Ning to threaten Ning Gui to go home, which made Ning Gui feel briefly relaxed, but when she thought about the upcoming winter vacation, she felt particularly suffocated.

After her mother remarried and brought her to the Ning family, she became the daughter of the Ning family. Although her life seemed glamorous, she actually had no freedom, and she and her mother depended on Ning Shen for everything.

When Ning Shen was too busy to take care of her, she had a moment of freedom, but she was like a kite, always pulled by a string, and that string was in Ning Shen's hand.

She could never escape from his cage.

Gu Yang had been in the dormitory these days preparing for the exam, so he naturally noticed that Ning Gui was not in a good condition.

Ning Gui came to her with a bunch of physics questions.

Seeing Gu Jin resting on the bed, Gu Yang took her to the stairwell at the end of the corridor to help her.

Gu Yang sat side by side with her on the stairs, holding a pen and draft paper in his hand, helping Ning Gui point out the key ideas for each question.

The top students can understand each other easily through conversation, and there is no need for complete and detailed problem-solving steps.

Ning Gui listened attentively, her little face full of seriousness.

After Gu Yang finished explaining the question, he looked at her and said, "Ning Gui, your mental state doesn't seem right."

Ning Gui was stunned.

Gu Yang frowned: "Is it because of Ning Shen? Did he bully you again?"

Ning Gui shook her head, her head almost tucked into her plush scarf, "He hasn't bullied me recently."

Gu Yang thought of Ning Shen’s second personality, Ning Jin, and said, “That’s true.”

Gu Yang felt that she still needed to care about her roommate's mental state. "Then why are you unhappy? You look so sad every day."

She doesn't allow anyone to suffer from depression under her nose.

Ning Gui lowered her head and said, "Winter vacation is coming soon."

Everyone was eager to go home for the winter break, but she didn't want to go back to that cage. Only on the campus of Huada could she breathe the fresh and free air.

Gu Yang understood that it was actually because of Ning Shen.

Ning Gui is a child who loves to study. If he studies hard, he will definitely become a pillar of the country. But now he is almost depressed by his schizophrenia.

"If you don't want to go home, then stay in school." Gu Yang said.

Ning Gui also wanted to do so, "But my mother is still at home."

Gu Yang frowned. He didn't expect that there was still Madam Ning as a hostage. With Ning Shen's lunatic personality, it was hard to guarantee that he would not hurt Madam Ning in order to force Ning Gui to go home.

Ning Gui: "My status as the daughter of the Ning family was given by Ning Shen. I have no right to say no in front of him."

Gu Yang: "I can help you."

Ning Gui's eyes lit up slightly, but then dimmed again and she shook her head.

Although Gu Yang was the daughter of the Xiao family and they treated her as a friend and were willing to help her, how could she have the nerve to drag Gu Yang down? Moreover, Ning Shen represented the Ning family, and Gu Yang was the little princess of the Xiao family. If they fought, it would only worsen the relationship between the two families.

Ning Gui said: "Thank you, Gu Yang. I can help you for a while, but I can't help you forever. It's enough that you can teach me how to solve the problem."

Gu Yang knew Ning Gui had misunderstood. "I meant to help you find a way out. I see that you are making rapid progress in your studies and have already self-studied all the content for your undergraduate degree. Do you want to join the laboratory?"
