Chapter 23: Chapter 023: The Most Recent Heartthrob
At that mont, Gu Huai’s phone suddenly chid several tis with notification sounds.
Gu Huai casually picked up his phone and glanced at it, then saw ssages from Jiang Lang and Ling Feng in the dorm group chat.
Jiang Lang: [Gu Huai, why haven’t you co back yet?]
Ling Feng: [Yeah, we’ve been waiting for you to bring back so milk tea!]
Gu Huai paused, typed back with one hand: [How did you know I bought milk tea?]
Jiang Lang: [Haven’t you checked the milk tea group? The shop owner ntioned it! She said you just bought two cups of milk tea and left! She was also gossiping, asking if you’ve got a girl you like, did you buy it for her?]
Ling Feng: [That definitely couldn’t be! I clarified it right there, you definitely brought them for and Jiang Lang! This afternoon, Jiang Lang and I were saying we felt like having milk tea from that place, but the line was too long. Today being a weekend… but you can skip the queue with facial recognition…]
Jiang Lang: [Didn’t expect you really brought us so! Truly a good bro!]
Gu Huai chuckled softly, replied: [Just to clarify, not for you guys, it’s for a girl.]
Jiang Lang: […?]
Ling Feng: […???]
After replying, Gu Huai put his phone away and stopped paying attention to the bombardnt of ssages from Jiang Lang and Ling Feng in the group: “Sorry, just replied to a ssage, keep going.”
Qi Yue scratched her head, “Ah? There’s not much more to continue; a lot happened then, too complicated, can’t explain it all at once. Anyway, I didn’t have anything left there, so I went back to my hotown in the countryside during the sumr break…
Back then, I was so bored, so I ended up planting potatoes while practicing fencing with my Second Uncle. Ah, I really didn’t expect it, but I improved dramatically, even my Second Uncle was amazed!”
As Qi Yue spoke, she clicked her tongue, “So since then, I’ve realized a truth…”
Gu Huai looked into the girl’s spirited eyes: “What truth?”
Qi Yue kicked up a stick from the roadside, caught it mid-air, and swung it forcefully, saying word by word: “The last page of the sword manual states, ‘Without love, one is divine! n just interfere with the speed of my sword draw!'”
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Huai’s eyes brimd with laughter, clearly reminded of sothing the girl had said a few days ago in the potato field.
“So, not thinking about falling in love again now?” Gu Huai asked.
Qi Yue pondered for a while, “Not that extre, I guess! If I et soone I like, why not give it a shot? It’s just that I’m older now, probably not as easily moved as when I was younger…”
The night was deep, yet her eyes still dazzled brilliantly.
It seed that no matter what happened, it couldn’t dim the brightness in those eyes…
“Really? So, when was the last ti you were moved?”
Gu Huai sure is asking a lot of questions tonight? Didn’t expect him to be this talkative…
But chatting with him is quite comfortable, might also be because of the ‘potato’ filter on him. Qi Yue didn’t mind it, felt like talking to an old friend she had known for years.
“Ah, this question…” Qi Yue glanced at Gu Huai, hesitated a bit, then finally spoke up, “Actually, it’s been more than once, and, it also involves you…”
Gu Huai raised his eyebrows slightly: “Involves ?”
“Yes! Not to hide it from you, the most recent first ti I felt moved was when you talked about discussing Professor Shen’s latest potato breeding technology with , and the second ti, when you said you could take to inspect the three thousand acres of potato fields… Wow! That was seriously thrilling!” Qi Yue exclaid with an admiring look on her face.
Gu Huai’s expression seed a bit amused and bewildered, “That sure indeed… all relates to …”
Strictly speaking, it should be said, it all relates to potatoes…
She was moved, indeed moved twice, but not moved by the person.
