Chapter 39: Chapter 039 We Are Different
Xue Mengqian covered her mouth with one hand, staring blankly at Gu Huai, her eyes filled with amazement.
After his initial surprise, Chu Mufan cast an inquisitive glance at Gu Huai.
Gu Huai also looked towards Chu Mufan.
The air seemed to fall into a strange silence for a moment.
After a while, Chu Mufan was the first to speak, “This is…”
“Hello, Gu Huai,” Gu Huai briefly introduced himself.
Qi Yue, still in a daze, reflexively began the introductions: “This is my high school classmate, Chu Mufan, and this lady next to him is Xue Mengqian, his girlfriend…”
Unexpectedly, she had just recently talked to Gu Huai about Chu Mufan, and today she ran into him, which was really disheartening.
When Gu Huai heard the name “Chu Mufan,” his eyebrows lifted imperceptibly.
Seeing this, Qi Yue returned a look to Gu Huai, signaling with a tragic expression: Yes, that’s the one I talked to you about the other day…
Running into your first love and his girlfriend outdoors and being seen by his girlfriend as a love rival, really, how melodramatic…
Er, no, wait…
More importantly, what the tycoon just said!
What does “still chasing” mean?
So, Qi Yue looked back at Gu Huai, her eyes conveying her confusion.
Gu Huai smiled, leaned in a bit closer, and whispered four words in Qi Yue’s ear: “Return the favor.”
Qi Yue: “…?”
Return the favor in what way?
She gave him something, so he helped her out?
Qi Yue suddenly realized she was still foolishly holding a little Peppa Pig sugar figurine: “Uh, this is…”
“Sugar figurine, I bought it for you,” Gu Huai said naturally.
Qi Yue was a bit surprised: “You said you had something to do just now, was it to buy this?”
Gu Huai glanced at her, “Didn’t you want it? I noticed you had been looking at it for quite a while.”
Qi Yue felt a little embarrassed at his words, “You noticed that… I was indeed thinking about buying it just now, but there were too many kids crowding around, so I felt embarrassed to squeeze through…”
“Uh, you just queued up to buy it?” It was hard for Qi Yue to imagine Gu Huai, a grown man, queuing up with a bunch of children to buy a sugar figurine.
“Mhm, waited for quite a while,” Gu Huai chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned about queueing up with a group of children.
As Qi Yue talked with Gu Huai, she momentarily forgot about Chu Mufan and Xue Mengqian.
Chu Mufan’s expression seemed slightly stiff, “Is Mr. Gu a friend of Qi Yue’s?”
Chu Mufan paused, then tentatively asked another question: “May I ask what Mr. Gu does?”
Seeing that Gu Huai was around their age, if he wasn’t a student, then he must have just entered society.
“Same as Qi Yue, A University, student,” Gu Huai said simply.
Chu Mufan’s eyebrows knit together imperceptibly, at the same school as Qi Yue…
Qi Yue, upon hearing this, twitched the corner of her mouth slightly: “…”
Haha, a student…
You’re so low-key…
Sorry!
We are not the same!
We’re undergraduates! You’re in a Ph.D. program!!!
He’s the same age, but with his grade skipping, it’s always been one spark after another; they say if it weren’t for him taking a lengthy break from his studies, he would have graduated with his Ph.D. by now…
Even so, he is the youngest Ph.D. in the history of top-tier A University’s hundred years…
