Chapter 120: Chapter 119: Tell You Right Away
Everyone was still in control since class was in session, but as soon as it ended, the school groups, department groups, and the school forum became as lively as the New Year festivities.
The gossipmongers’ eyes were like magnifying glasses, not only spotting the boss’s new wrist accessory but also catching through high-definition lenses that the second button on the white shirt he wore today was crookedly sewn on, clearly reattached by hand.
[How could such a perfection-seeking person like the boss allow himself to wear a shirt with a button sewed on like that? I bet a bag of spicy sticks that there’s something special about that button! It’s very likely sewn by the boss’s mysterious girlfriend!]
[Oh my! The boss is really spoiling someone, huh! Even with such poor handiwork, he’s still wearing it close to his skin and flaunting it so ostentatiously!]
[My heart is broken! What happened to the wise man not falling in love? What about the resolve to never crumble in admiration for the boss?]
[Don’t you think you guys might be overthinking it? This whole thing doesn’t quite add up. If the boss really had a girlfriend, and he’s showing off the gifts she gives so openly, why haven’t we ever seen him show off his girlfriend herself? Plus, we’ve gossiped for so long without a trace of evidence, I’m starting to doubt she even exists! Doesn’t this defy science?]
...
…
Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang were rapidly scrolling through all sorts of information and gossip, feeling helpless as the boss was sitting right in front of them, and they didn’t dare to ask. Jiang Lang and Ling Feng were also clueless and totally unreliable, hurriedly leaving right after class because of a call from the basketball team.
Left with no other choice, Song Qiuqiu placed her hopes on Qi Yue.
Qi Yue was discussing a question with Gu Huai when Song Qiuqiu stealthily sent her a message.
Song Qiuqiu: [Yue Bao! Stop only talking to the boss about quantum mechanics! You should also care about other issues!]
Qi Yue didn’t understand why Song Qiuqiu, who was right beside her, needed to send her a WeChat message, so she freed a hand to reply: [What issue?]
Song Qiuqiu: [Like whether the god really has a girlfriend! Just casually ask, I swear, I’m just purely curious, and I absolutely won’t spread the word even if I knew! I’ll just savor the gossip myself! I swear I wouldn’t tell anyone else even if it killed me!]
Su Xiaotang also pled in the dorm group: [Yue Bao! Jiang Lang and Ling Feng are too unreliable, they have been kicked out of the Eating Melon Squad, you are now the only hope of our village!]
Qi Yue shook her head with amusement after reading the messages from the two.
Seeing Qi Yue checking her messages, Gu Huai spoke up, “Got something urgent to take care of? We can talk another time then.”
Qi Yue quickly waved her hands, “No, no, it’s nothing important, but let’s indeed leave it for next time, I heard from the teacher that you didn’t sleep all night yesterday! I have just one tiny question left to ask, is that okay…”
Gu Huai smiled, “My intimacy value accumulates, it won’t be reset casually. Given our relationship, President Qi can ask me anything directly.”
Qi Yue choked slightly in embarrassment at his reply, she also wouldn’t just reset it, okay?
Qi Yue didn’t know how to broach the subject delicately, and given what the god just said, she asked directly, “Um… God, do you have a girlfriend?”
Gu Huai paused for a moment at the question, his expression slightly startled, and he glanced at Qi Yue with a flicker in his eyes, then noticed Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang sitting behind, pretending to be nonchalant but all ears.
This question probably wasn’t something Qi Yue wanted to ask for herself…
Seeing that Gu Huai did not respond, Qi Yue immediately said, “I was just a bit curious and asked casually, you can answer or not, it’s all fine!”
Gu Huai looked up, slowly saying, “There’s nothing I can’t answer, I’ve never had a girlfriend, and if I ever get one in the future, I’ll tell you right away.”
