Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Return Fully Loaded
Gu Huai’s first button had already been undone, and during the commotion, the second button had also been yanked off, leaving a small part of his chest exposed.
Qi Yue looked at Gu Huai with an apologetic face, “How did you tear off the button! I could have pulled out my hair instead!”
“A girl’s hair is very precious,” Gu Huai said nonchalantly.
As he spoke, Gu Huai had already stood up and left the haystack, then stretched out his hand towards Qi Yue, “It’s getting dark, watch your step.”
Staring at the gentle look on the man’s face, Qi Yue was slightly stunned and instinctively placed her hand in his, jumping down from the haystack.
After ensuring that Qi Yue had landed safely, Gu Huai imdiately withdrew his hand, “Let’s go, aren’t we going to buy so local specialties?”
...
“Oh… okay…”
Gu Huai was walking a bit fast, and Qi Yue had to jog to catch up, sowhat embarrassedly starting the conversation, “Great God, give the button. Don’t lose it. Shall I sew it back on for you when we return?”
Gu Huai paused for a mont, “You can sew?”
“It’s just a button, how could I not be able to? Rest assured, leave it to !” Qi Yue assured him with a pat on her chest.
Gu Huai did not object and directly handed the button to her.
Qi Yue carefully pocketed the button, and when she raised her eyes, her gaze inadvertently swept across Gu Huai’s brows and eyes. In the night, deep beneath Gu Huai’s seemingly indifferent and calm eyes, there seed to be an undercurrent flowing…
The farm’s local specialties were all specially prepared cooked foods by the owner, vacuum-packed and able to last for many days.
The owner also enthusiastically took them on a tour of the farm, assuring them that all the specialties were hogrown.
Qi Yue bought quite a lot, even divided so to give to Gu Huai, and eventually returned ho fully satisfied.
…
The next morning, Qi Yue and Gu Huai were leaving Jiangcheng City.
“Although we’ve only stayed for two days, I really don’t want to leave…” Qi Yue murmured.
She had seen the three thousand acres of Potato fields, t Professor Shen, bought so fantastic local specialties… Oh right, she also received a thank-you gift from that old couple!
It was a very fulfilling trip indeed.
“We can co back again if we have the chance in the future,” Gu Huai said.
“Yeah!”
Taking one last look at the distant experintal fields, Qi Yue began her journey back ho.
On the way back.
Gu Huai seed to be in a bit of a bad state, possibly due to the long and tiring journey, as he kept leaning on the seat, resting with his eyes closed.
Finally, upon arriving in City A, Qi Yue took a taxi back to the school.
Inside the taxi, Gu Huai fell asleep.
Worried he might catch a cold, Qi Yue draped his coat, which had been lying beside the seat, over his body.
“Buddy, we’re here! Shall I stop at the entrance?”
The taxi reached the school’s gate, and the driver’s voice ca from up front.
Disturbed by the noise, Gu Huai awoke, then opened his eyes, his expression gradually becoming clearer.
“Driver, just stop by the roadside!” Qi Yue said as she got out of the car, while casting a worried glance at Gu Huai.
After getting out of the car, Qi Yue looked at Gu Huai, hesitating to speak, “Great God, do you feel unwell anywhere?”
Gu Huai pinched his brow, “I’m just a little tired, probably because I went to bed too late last night.”
Qi Yue frowned, “Just a little tired? Your complexion doesn’t look so good. Could you be running a fever…?”
Gu Huai instinctively raised his hand to touch his forehead, then said, “I shouldn’t be.”
“You shouldn’t?” Qi Yue was doubtful and gently touched his forehead with her hand. To her surprise, it felt burning hot, “You call this okay?! Your forehead’s so hot, you could cook an egg on it!”
With the cool touch of the girl’s hand still lingering on his forehead, Gu Huai appeared slightly startled.
