Chapter 164: Chapter 163: Resurgence
Originally he had given up completely, but unexpectedly, after some time, he found that Gu Huai had suddenly disappeared and hadn’t been seen around the school or with Qi Yue.
Qi Yue continued to attend classes and training just as before.
He also heard that Gu Huai had signed with a company and probably wouldn’t be coming to school anymore…
So, he concluded that there probably hadn’t been any further development between the two…
Although he didn’t know the reason, with this being the case, he could definitely continue pursuing Qi Yue!
Just now, from what Qi Yue said, she had learned about Gu Huai’s recent situation from Jiang Lang and Ling Feng, which further proved their relationship was purely platonic, perhaps even distant.
...
Otherwise, how could she not even know about Gu Huai being sick?
Thus, Qii Shuhang was completely reassured and his smile relaxed a lot as he began, “Why be so polite! We’re all quite familiar with each other now!”
Glancing at the time, Qi Yue quickly reminded him, “Isn’t your competition about to start? You better get ready! Don’t let me hold you up!”
“No worries, there’s still time!” Qii Shuhang spoke, then looked at Qi Yue, hesitating slightly before continuing.
Finally, He Ming, unable to bear it any longer, bluntly said, “Classmate Qi, do you have time later? Come watch this guy’s match! If you go, he’ll surely outperform himself!”
Qii Shuhang nudged He Ming with his elbow, cleared his throat, and looked at Qi Yue, “Qi Yue, if you have time… I hope you can come watch my match… Of course, if you’re busy then never mind…”
If previously Qi Yue hadn’t noticed, but Song Qiuqiu had reminded her, and with Qii Shuhang specially coming over to give flowers this time, Qi Yue somewhat sensed Qii Shuhang’s feelings.
But seeing how earnestly he had come to congratulate her, especially since he was about to compete, she couldn’t possibly crush his spirit at such a moment.
For her, nothing was more important than an athlete’s competition.
So, Qi Yue readily nodded, “Sure! I don’t have much going on later, I will come and cheer for you. You better head over and get ready now!”
Qii Shuhang’s eyes immediately brightened, “Great! Then I’ll head over first! Wait for you to come!”
Affter saying that, he and He Ming walked off, linking arms and laughing.
No sooner had they left than Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang quickly closed in.
Song Qiuqiu: “Yue Bao! Yue Bao! How was it?”
Qi Yue: “How was what?”
Song Qiuqiu: “Of course I mean Qii Shuhang! He’s been so attentive to you, you surely can’t fail to see it! Didn’t I tell you my little radar is never wrong?”
Proudly boasting about her ‘little radar’, Song Qiuqiu persisted, “So, Yue Bao, what do you think?”
Qi Yue, somewhat distracted, responded, “I don’t have those kinds of feelings for Qii Shuhang… It’s just, he came specially to congratulate me, and he’s about to compete, I couldn’t possibly say anything that might affect his performance now.”
Song Qiuqiu, knowing Qi Yue very well, nodded in understanding, “That’s true…”
Su Xiaotang chimed in from the side, “Yue Bao, I thought you were about to break ranks with us… Ah, it seems Classmate Qii’s efforts aren’t enough! Our Singles Dog Alliance truly is impenetrable!”
Clenching her fist, Song Qiuqiu affirmed, “Absolutely! Our alliance is as solid as a fortress, indestructible! Not so easily breached!”
