The other party's sincere attitude added a few points to Qi Yue's fondness, "No problem, you're welcome. Just tell me the details of your conversation with Professor Shen later. By the way, when will you be done there?"
Qi Yue felt impatient just thinking about Professor Shen's new technique for potato hybrid breeding, not wanting to wait even a second longer.
Gu Huai glanced at his watch, "It might take a while longer over there. If you're not too busy, you could come over first with your friend."
As soon as Song Qiuqiu heard this, she immediately hooked her arm around Qi Yue's and started shaking it, begging, "Yue Bao, let's go! We've already completed our tasks for today anyway! Please! Next time you live stream selling potatoes, I'll come and be your shill!"
Qi Yue gave her a glance, "That's hardly necessary, my potatoes don't need a shill... But if you want to come over as my top donor, I might consider it."
Song Qiuqiu weighed her wallet, "...I'm not worthy."
Left with no other option, Song Qiuqiu leaned in and whispered in Qi Yue's ear, "Let's go together, then you can hear the potato secrets sooner, right?"
Qi Yue thought about it and felt that Song Qiuqiu made a good point, "Alright, I'll go with you. Why don't you start telling me while we walk?"
Gu Huai casually brushed some leaves off Qi Yue's head, his beautiful peach blossom eyes seeming to soak in the gentle moonlight, "Okay."
So, Qi Yue and Song Qiuqiu followed Gu Huai towards the shooting range.
Along the way, Gu Huai briefly chatted with Qi Yue, who listened intently, nodding from time to time, "Makes sense..."
Song Qiuqiu wasn't paying attention to their conversation at all, simply echoing along, "Yeah, indeed, good looks make sense!"
As Qi Yue approached, she heard them discussing the punishment that Gu Huai had lost and had to endure.
"We really have Gu Huai to thank, or else Jiang Lang would have had a tough day today. His score was the lowest, that guy only hit 2 rings, and in the end, Gu Huai bottomed out for him!"
"Gu Huai hadn't even planned to participate at first, probably because he isn't very skilled at it..."
"What, you're saying Gu Huai isn't very skilled?" Jiang Lang was about to speak up when he saw Gu Huai coming back, accompanied by the two girls.
Hmm? Why did he bring people back with him...
"These two are our classmates from the School of Agriculture," Gu Huai introduced them.
"Qi Yue," Qi Yue introduced herself simply.
Momentarily, everyone turned curious glances toward Qi Yue.
Indeed, upon closer inspection, it was clear that Qi Yue's skin was very fair where it wasn't smeared with mud, and her features weren't unpleasant to look at despite her outfit for working in the fields leaving much to be desired.
So, when the punishment of kissing this girl was first mentioned, everyone had geared up and taken aim for the target's center.
"Hello, I'm Song Qiuqiu, sorry to intrude, I hope we're not bothering you?" Song Qiuqiu spoke up politely.
"Not at all! Come join us for fun. We're all classmates, not strangers. The more the merrier!"
Everyone assumed the two girls just wanted to get close to Gu Huai, so they invited them to join in the fun.
Since Gu Huai didn't refuse, they naturally didn't say much either.
Especially that girl named Qi Yue, who had been following closely behind Gu Huai the whole way, her eyes constantly glued to him, hanging on to his every word.
Clearly, she had been completely charmed by Gu Huai.
Ah, another one has fallen...
Some people looked at Qi Yue and teasingly said, "Girl, you're so lucky! Do you know how many girls in our school are crazy about Gu Huai?"
"Yeah, who would have thought that this flower high up on a cliff everyone's been trying to pick would just be taken by you in that sorghum field!"
Many joined in the teasing.
Qi Yue's brows furrowed lightly, and she responded subconsciously, "Ah? I don't think I picked... Also, that was a potato field..."
Gu Huai, standing nearby, had a hint of a smile on his lips, "Yeah, she didn't pick, I gave."
