Chapter 113: Chapter 112 Intimacy Value Cleared
Just as everyone was guessing whether Gu Huai was there to substitute teach, they saw him stride past the lectern, heading straight towards the student seats…
A moment later, he stopped at a seat in the second row.
“Student, may I ask if this seat is taken?”
Qi Yue, who still had the Gu Huai from her morning dream in her mind, was suddenly confronted with Gu Huai standing next to her seat and speaking; she had a moment where she couldn’t distinguish dream from reality.
So much so that it took her several seconds to come back to her senses, and she reflexively responded, “Uh, no… there’s no one… feel free to sit…”
This class is so difficult to understand, hardly anyone attends regularly, and there are plenty of seats available; there’s hardly ever a problem finding a place to sit.
...
Now, Qi Shuhang was seated to her right, He Ming to the right of Qi Shuhang, and the seat to her left by the aisle was vacant.
At this moment, all eyes followed Gu Huai as he made his way to the seat, and everyone watched as he actually sat down with the students.
Was the big shot really here to attend the class???
Qi Shuhang and He Ming were so astonished they were beyond words. For students in the physics department, Gu Huai was synonymous with legend.
The feeling of having the final boss appearing in their newbie village was nothing short of subtle…
This was also Gu Huai’s first public appearance after the “rubber band incident”, and the stir it caused was imaginable; almost from the moment Gu Huai stepped into the classroom, the news spread throughout the campus groups and forums…
Gu Huai seemed to be busy, and from the corner of her eye, Qi Yue observed him busily sending messages and replying to emails after sitting down, his brows tinged with a hint of weariness.
Was he really okay doing all this with his body barely recovered?
Seeing Gu Huai busy, Qi Yue didn’t initiate conversation with him.
Gu Huai usually seemed quite unapproachable, especially when he was focused on his work and not speaking.
Although their trip to Jiangcheng City made them somewhat acquainted, it was a brief interaction after all, and ultimately they were not from the same world.
After not seeing him for a week, Qi Yue almost felt as if they were worlds apart.
“By the way, Qi Shuhang, what were you trying to say just now?” Qi Yue recalled Qi Shuhang mentioning something earlier but hadn’t finished, so she casually asked.
Qi Shuhang waved dismissively and said, “Ah… it’s nothing, nothing… just that if you don’t understand anything, feel free to ask me…”
“Okay, thank you.” Although Qi Yue thought that she wouldn’t understand even if she asked, she still thanked him politely.
Qi Shuhang lowered his voice and spoke into Qi Yue’s ear, “Qi Yue, do you know who’s sitting next to you?”
Qi Yue glanced with her peripheral vision at the still busy Gu Huai, “I know, isn’t that Gu Huai?”
Qi Shuhang nodded excitedly, “Yeah! The academic god of our school! And a genius in the field of Quantum Mechanics! I didn’t expect him to attend an elective course! And he’s sitting just one seat away from me! I really want to get to know him, but I’m too scared to strike up a conversation… the big shots must be hard to approach…”
“Well, that’s not necessarily the case, actually, the god is quite approachable…” Qi Yue said subconsciously.
“Why do you say that? Are you very familiar with the god?” Qi Shuhang asked.
Qi Yue thought about it, not really knowing how to answer that question, “Ah? Well, that…”
Would the word “very familiar” seem like she was boasting?
After the lesson she had learned in Jiangcheng City, she dared not say she wasn’t familiar…
Being asked this question by Qi Shuhang surprisingly gave her a sense of déjà vu; why was she being asked this same distressing question again?
Just then, her phone on the desk suddenly vibrated.
Qi Yue casually unlocked it and saw a WeChat message—
