Chapter 135: Chapter 134 Good Opportunity
Qi Yue had not expected it, but the more guilty she felt, the more things seemed to conspire against her.
Jiang Lang, seeing Qi Yue’s unusual expression and stroking his chin thoughtfully, teased, “There’s something going on here, Potato, isn’t there? Could this ‘D’-initial contact be some ambiguous flame of yours? Or maybe a secret crush?”
Upon hearing this from Jiang Lang, Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang immediately looked at Qi Yue with burning curiosity.
Song Qiuqiu: “Could it be that Yue Bao actually has a secret crush that even the two of us don’t know about?”
Su Xiaotang: “Impossible… who could possibly be a crush that beats Potato? I really have to see this to believe it!”
Excited by the conversation, Ling Feng turned to Qi Yue and suggested, “If that’s the case, isn’t this the perfect opportunity? You should confess your feelings during this game. If it works out, you can get together with him, and if not, just say it was only a game. Perfect! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! You should really thank me!”
...
At Ling Feng’s words, Qi Yue forced a smile, “Heh, I’m really so grateful!”
Because Qi Yue’s hand was blocking the screen, Gu Huai, out of the corner of his eye, only saw the character “耀”.
“If it’s difficult for you, don’t force it,” Gu Huai’s voice came from beside her at that moment.
Qi Yue coughed lightly and said, “It’s not that it’s difficult, I just don’t want to disturb them…”
“It’s just a game. Why care so much?” Gu Huai’s voice paused for a moment before he asked, “Or is it that it’s someone you care about?”
Qi Yue looked up at Gu Huai and scratched her head, “How should I put this… for me… yes, it’s someone I care about quite a bit…”
Gu Huai observed Qi Yue closely, his gaze seeming to deepen.
At this point, Ling Feng, unable to wait any longer, urged her, “Hurry up, hurry up! Don’t delay the time! You’re not going to back out again, are you?”
Qi Yue’s fingers clenched her phone tighter, “Who’s backing out? Can’t I take a moment to gather my thoughts? Are confessions supposed to be this casual for you?”
As she spoke, Qi Yue convinced herself; after all, it was just a game, and with Gu Huai right there, he knew it was only a game. She didn’t even have to explain; there was nothing to worry about.
“Alright, alright! Take your time! Everyone quiet down! President Qi is about to make her confession call! Oh, right, as usual, remember to turn on the speakerphone!” Ling Feng reminded.
Qi Yue, with a speechless expression, said, “Actually… we could do without the speakerphone…”
Why go to such unnecessary trouble…
Ling Feng immediately disagreed, “No way! The speakerphone has to be on! Otherwise, where’s the fun in playing the game?”
“Yes, yes, absolutely right…”
The onlooking crowd chimed in with agreement, and even Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang nodded.
With no choice, Qi Yue sighed, “Fine…”
At that moment, everyone became very quiet, as if by tacit agreement.
Qi Yue took a deep breath and finally reached out to press the number of the contact.
Almost the instant Qi Yue dialed the number, a ringtone from a phone suddenly filled the room.
It was the kind of default melody that came with the phone, nothing special, but in such a quiet moment, it sounded somewhat jarring.
In the palm of Gu Huai’s hand, his phone vibrated gently along with the ringtone.
He instinctively looked at his phone screen.
Next, a look of astonishment clearly crossed the man’s face, and in the next second, he instinctively looked towards Qi Yue beside him.
Qi Yue’s phone was still waiting to be connected, yet Gu Huai’s phone continued to ring.
Without thinking much, Ling Feng assumed Gu Huai had an incoming call, and quickly said, “Gu Huai! Turn it off, turn it off! Pick it up later! At such a tense moment, don’t interrupt Potato!”
Gu Huai chuckled lightly, “Sorry, I’m afraid I can’t do that; this call is very important.”
Ling Feng was puzzled, “Huh?”
Gu Huai spoke as he pressed the answer button.
And the moment Gu Huai answered the call, the other end of Qi Yue’s phone also went silent, now connected.
Gu Huai raised the phone to his ear and said in a deep, pleasant voice, “Hello.”
At the same time, from Qi Yue’s phone, which was on loudspeaker, came a “Hello.”
The expressions of everyone present: “…???”
