Chapter 124: Chapter 123 Guarding Themselves from Theft?
Just then, Gu Huai sent another message: “I was sick and didn’t go to Ling Feng’s birthday last time, Ling Feng has arranged a dinner for everyone tomorrow night, asking if you and your roommate would like to come along?”
Qi Yue looked at the message somewhat absentmindedly; before, if she had the time, she would have directly asked Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang for their opinion, and if everyone was going, she would have agreed right away.
But now, she was caught in a dilemma…
Because she felt guilty… felt guilty…
Heavens! She actually… felt guilty???
If she continued to interact with Gu Huai, she feared she would become even more inappropriate, always having a sense of guilt for coveting him.
...
The great guy was so kind! So trusting of her! He even let her handle such important matters, just to avoid those troubles, to dodge those women who covet him…
So what did her current actions and thoughts amount to?
Betraying trust?!
How could she!!!
While Qi Yue was torn, Song Qiuqiu, who had found some ointment and was about to apply it on Qi Yue, glanced unintentionally at Qi Yue’s phone screen and widened her eyes in surprise, “Wow! The big guy is inviting us for a meal???”
Qi Yue snapped back to reality upon hearing this and spoke, “Not the big guy, it’s Ling Feng… It’s his birthday last time, probably because the big guy was sick and didn’t go, he has organized another gathering, and he’s asking if we want to go…”
Just as Qi Yue expected, Song Qiuqiu immediately said, “Go! Of course we’re going! The chance to have a meal with the big guy!”
Su Xiaotang quickly raised her hand, “I’ll go too! I’m free tomorrow night! Even if I’m not, I’m still free! Whoever pays doesn’t matter, as long as the big guy is there!”
Qi Yue weakly raised her hand, “I might not be able to go…”
Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang immediately responded in unison, “Why can’t you go?”
Qi Yue: “Because…” Because she wanted some peace.
Qi Yue cleared her throat and quickly came up with an excuse, “Because I have to observe some experimental data tomorrow night…”
Song Qiuqiu’s face fell immediately upon hearing this, “No way! How can the three of us split up? We should go together! It wouldn’t be the same without you!”
Su Xiaotang nodded repeatedly, “Exactly, exactly! The Singles Dog Alliance should never split up!”
Qi Yue chuckled, feeling much more relaxed, “If you guys go, it’s as if I’m there! Just help me eat a bit more!”
Song Qiuqiu still seemed unhappy, “Eating a bit more for you is fine, of course, but I still want you to come. You can’t be observing data all night long, can you join us after you’re done?”
Su Xiaotang hugged her arm coquettishly, “Come on, please? Pretty please?”
Qi Yue sighed and could only reply ambiguously, “Alright, alright, if I finish in time and you guys are still there, then I’ll come over…”
Only after hearing Qi Yue say this did Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang show satisfaction.
After discussing with the two of them, Qi Yue took a deep breath, steadied her emotions, and then replied to Gu Huai: “Qiuqiu and Xiao Tang are free to go, but I might not be able to make it tomorrow night as I have some experimental data to observe. I’m really sorry, please apologize to Ling Feng for me.”
After sending the message, Qi Yue felt that Ling Feng probably just asked politely and likely didn’t hope for her to attend…
To express her apologies, she decided to prepare a gift and have Qiuqiu and Xiao Tang deliver it to him.
