Chapter 199: Chapter 198 Not That Simple
Gu Huai hadn’t even said anything yet, and Song Qiuqiu was already rattling off excuses for him.
“Hahaha! Then we won’t be polite! As expected, only Gu Huai is truly persuasive!” Ling Feng quickly took a seat and happily joined in the feast and drinks.
Jiang Lang held his chin, his face expressing disbelief, “Are you serious about this favoritism? Whether we’re talking about looks or substance, what’s the difference between and Gu Huai?”
Song Qiuqiu looked incredulous: “Do you hear what you’re saying?”
Jiang Lang: “Song Qiuqiu! You…”
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Ling Feng held up his glass to smooth things over, “Hey, we’re all in the sa boat here, why hurt each other? Let’s all have a drink together! To the joy of being single!”
“Cheers, cheers! I love being single! To the joy of being single!”
…
Jiang Lang noticed that Qi Yue and Gu Huai hadn’t been drinking; Qi Yue seed to be allergic to alcohol, but why wasn’t Gu Huai drinking either?
“Gu Huai, why aren’t you drinking?” Jiang Lang asked casually.
Qi Yue looked up abruptly, glancing at Gu Huai.
Gu Huai cast a nonchalant glance in Qi Yue’s direction and said in a leisurely manner, “Health-conscious.”
At this, Jiang Lang’s mouth twitched slightly: “Are you kidding ? At your young age, you’re living like an old man. If you keep this up, you’re really going to be single forever!”
Qi Yue: “…”
Dear fellow student, I’d suggest you refrain from jinxing it.
At that mont, Su Xiaotang’s peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the dal in Qi Yue’s bag.
“Wow! Yue Bao! Is that your gold dal? Let see, let see!” Su Xiaotang excitedly asked to take a look.
Qi Yue, feeling on edge, absentmindedly handed the dal over to Su Xiaotang without thinking much about it.
Handling the dal with care, Su Xiaotang opened it to take a closer look, weighing it in her hands, “It’s quite heavy. Is it made of pure gold?”
“What are you thinking? How could it be pure gold? At most, it’s gold-plated, okay? If it were pure gold, Yue Bao would be rich by now…” Song Qiuqiu was saying when sothing suddenly felt off to her, and, touching the dal’s ribbon, she said, “Huh? I rember the ribbon for the female athletes’ dals being red, why has it turned blue?”
Hearing this, Su Xiaotang also chid in, “Yes, I rember Yue Bao’s was red, and only the ace’s was blue…”
“Yue Bao, did you accidentally swap dals with the ace?” Song Qiuqiu asked casually.
Jiang Lang and Ling Feng were busy drinking and eating kebabs, not caring about the color of the dal’s ribbon.
But Qi Yue felt a sudden pang of anxiety in her heart.
Although the swap of dals with the ace was just a simple gesture of commoration, thinking about it now, the action seed a bit ambiguous. If they found out, would they start getting suspicious?
Qi Yue instinctively stole a glance at Gu Huai. His expression remained nonchalant, giving no indication that he intended to speak up, playing along quite well.
He said he would give her ti to sort out her “academic affairs” and indeed said nothing at all…
Qi Yue felt helpless; it seed that she was destined to be implicated by her scheming sisters…
She wasn’t even sure how to bring up the topic, but if they were to misunderstand, it might just work out…
With this in mind, Qi Yue cleared her throat, deciding to tell the truth: “Well, no, it’s not a mistake, I swapped dals with the ace…”
Upon hearing this, Song Qiuqiu’s expression shifted, then she excitedly exclaid, “Wow! The ace is amazing to swap dals with you!”
“Yeah, yeah, that’s so aningful!” Su Xiaotang also looked envious.
Jiang Lang, with a mutton skewer in hand, sneered, “It’s just a dal. Gu Huai’s house is full of such dals; what’s all the fuss about!”
“You don’t know squat!” Song Qiuqiu gave Jiang Lang a scornful look, ignoring him, and said to Qi Yue, “Haha Yue Bao, although it’s just a city sports et, your participation was really worthwhile. Not only did you beat Qi Zhen into submission, causing her to miss her last shot, but you also got the ace’s dal!”
Qi Yue: “…”
Seeing their reactions, Qi Yue was at a loss for words.
Even with all this, you still don’t suspect anything???
There’s really nothing between the ace and as simple as you think…
It seems that their impression of her being solely focused on Potato had taken a deep root.
Well, what can I say? Actually, Song Qiuqiu’s words weren’t wrong—if you omit the last three words…
