Chapter 28: Chapter 028 Where’s My Knife?
Boys’ dormitory.
Gu Huai sat quietly on the balcony, his hand supporting his forehead at an angle, a low pressure seeming to emanate all around him, his face screaming “strangers keep away.”
Rarely seeing him in such a frightening state, Ling Feng didn’t dare to provoke him, so he ran over to join Jiang Lang as they whispered together.
“Hey, what’s up with Gu Huai, why does he seem so emo? I didn’t get my milk tea, and I’m not nearly as emo…”
Jiang Lang twisted his wrist and hissed, “He’s been rather moody lately. Last time I just touched him, and he almost twisted my hand off!”
Ling Feng thought for a moment, “Is it because the experiment isn’t going well, or is he annoyed by some fangirl? It seems like he still owes her two dates, and can’t even hide from them. Today must be another one of those date opportunities she utilized…”
Jiang Lang stroked his chin. Something seemed to flash in his mind but vanished before he could grasp it. “From what I know of him, that doesn’t sound like him…”
Ling Feng yawned, “The heart is a mystery, let’s sleep, let’s sleep…”
…
After saying goodbye to Gu Huai and the others, Qi Yue helped Song Qiuqiu back to their dorm.
“Yue Bao, no offense, but your luck is just too good. You go out to buy food and bump into a celeb. Many girls have been staking out the science research building for days with no luck…”
Song Qiuqiu was happily eating and drinking her milk tea when she glanced at Qi Yue and noticed something was off.
“What’s wrong, you seem distracted?”
Qi Yue rested her cheeks in her hands and sighed, “Didn’t we run into Qi Zhen and the others when we were buying food today?”
“What? Did they start trouble again?” Song Qiuqiu immediately rolled up her sleeves ready to fight, but almost threw out her back again.
“Calm down, nothing happened. Just, right as they were leaving, I heard Qi Zhen say that Chu Mufan is coming back to the country…” Qi Yue murmured.
“Chu Mufan?” Song Qiuqiu curled her lip, clearly not fond of the individual, “So he’s coming back, what does that have to do with you? You don’t still like him, do you?”
“How could I? It just doesn’t feel right. You know, we all used to be close, right?
And now, he’s changed all his contact details, and I had to hear about his return from someone else! It was just a confession, I told him because I didn’t want to have regrets, just wanted to express my feelings, not force him to marry me. Did that really need him to avoid me to this extent…”
Song Qiuqiu scoffed, “Good relations? So good that even I was jealous. If it weren’t for your sake, I wouldn’t have bothered with him at all! And yet, he received all your affection without accepting or rejecting it, until you confessed, and then he rejected you…”
Qi Yue took a sip of her milk tea, instantly feeling better, “Forget it, it’s all in the past now. We probably won’t have anything to do with each other anymore…”
Just as Qi Yue finished speaking, her WeChat suddenly popped up with a notification.
She casually opened it to find a friend request. The verification message read: Qi Yue, I am Mufan.
Qi Yue: “…”
Seeing the look on Qi Yue’s face, Song Qiuqiu asked, “Whose message is it?”
Qi Yue handed her the phone to take a look.
After Song Qiuqiu saw the verification message, she almost flipped the rice bowl, “Damn it! Chu Mufan! He actually has the nerve to add you! After all these years without contact, why come and add you now?”
Qi Yue steadied Song Qiuqiu’s precarious rice bowl, “Calm down! He’s probably just back in the country and wants to reconnect with old classmates…”
Perhaps because Qi Yue hadn’t accepted yet, Chu Mufan immediately sent another verification message: [I missed you]
Qi Yue: “…”
Song Qiuqiu: “…”
Where’s my knife?
