Chapter 123: Chapter 122 She’s Acting Strange…
After returning to the dormitory, Qi Yue, driven by curiosity, opened the school forum and only then did she realize how much of a sensation that Quantum Mechanics class had caused.
The level of excitement was no less than the time everyone discovered Gu Huai wearing a hair tie on the basketball court.
Qi Yue enlarged the photo, looking closely at the Solidarity Knot bracelet on Gu Huai’s wrist. It was indeed the one given by the old couple…
She had not expected… Gu Huai to treasure that gift so much, actually wearing it on his wrist…
She quite liked the gift herself, but knowing the meaning behind it, she chose not to wear it on her wrist but hung it on her backpack instead.
Yet Gu Huai had worn it directly on his wrist…
...
Was it because he simply didn’t mind?
Qi Yue pulled up the photo again, zooming in on the second button of Gu Huai’s shirt, magnifying the image to better see the crooked stitches that were indeed her handiwork, the very button she had sewn.
Before seeing the photo, she had wondered if there might have been some misunderstanding, if everyone might have seen it wrong, but the truth proved that netizens’ eyes were sharp!
Staring at the high-definition photo taken with God knows what device, Qi Yue couldn’t help but fall deep into thought…
In her mind, she inexplicably recalled the time at the boys’ dormitory, Gu Huai’s words, “The person who truly loves you will treasure anything you make, no matter how poorly sewn, and can’t help but show it off to the whole world”…
The person who truly loves you…
Show it off…
At the same time, she remembered the dream she had that morning, and Qii Shuhang’s so-called “Quantum entanglement” theory that, “If a person misses you enough, they can reach you in your dreams.”
Qi Yue’s heart, for some unknown reason, skipped a few beats and began to pound more and more chaotically…
Realizing what she was thinking, Qi Yue quickly flipped open the Quantum Mechanics book, eager to dispel the unrealistic notions swirling in her mind.
What’s happening here…
Ever since she returned from Jiangcheng City, she had felt that something about herself was slightly off…
If she had claimed before going to Jiangcheng City that she was “with a clear conscience” and “let the clear be clear,” but now, she inexplicably felt a sense of guilt.
She even let herself entertain the foolish thought that Gu Huai might have worn that bracelet on purpose, might be showing off, and wondered if, when she dreamt of Gu Huai, he might also be thinking of her…
Heavens! That’s simply unbelievable!!!
Has she gone crazy studying Quantum Mechanics?
How could she think such things!
“Bang—” With a loud noise!
Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang watched with wide eyes as Qi Yue sat at the desk, staring intently at a Quantum Mechanics book, then suddenly started banging her head hard against the table…
Both of them were taken aback.
Song Qiuqiu’s mouth twitched, and she quickly reached to touch Qi Yue’s head, “Oh my God! It’s swollen! Does it hurt? Yue Bao, calm down, if we don’t understand it, let’s not study it…”
Su Xiaotang nodded vigorously in agreement, “Studying hard is good! But don’t damage your brain doing it!”
Qi Yue, hearing this, felt even more guilty; she wasn’t really studying hard at all…
Just then, Qi Yue’s phone suddenly rang, a new message on WeChat.
Qi Yue absentmindedly clicked to check, it was a photo from Gu Huai. The photo showed a notebook filled with problems they hadn’t finished discussing in class, and Gu Huai had meticulously written down the solutions for her.
Afterward, Gu Huai sent her a message: [If there’s still something you don’t understand, ask me again.]
Usually, she also consulted Qii Shuhang with problems, but with his level much higher than hers, they often had trouble communicating, and she found it hard to understand Qii Shuhang’s explanations.
Logically speaking, for someone of Gu Huai’s level, explaining such simple problems wouldn’t even require writing out the steps, but in order to make her understand, he not only wrote down every step in detail but also outlined the thought process in layman’s terms, so even someone who had just started learning like Qi Yue could easily grasp it.
As moved and warmed as she was, Qi Yue also felt a headache coming on as she pinched the bridge of her nose. She realized that she might be…probably was…indeed a bit out of sorts…
