Chapter 62: Chapter 062 Misunderstanding you as my boyfriend
Gu Huai’s “We’re not close” was a killer move.
The girl pushed through the crowd and was finally driven away in frustration.
Qi Yue scratched her head, “Was I a bit… too fierce?”
Gu Huai chuckled lightly, “Being a little fierce is good. Didn’t President Qi say that I should find a girlfriend who’s a bit more formidable?”
Qi Yue: “Ah…”
Although that was certainly true, somehow it felt off…?
However, regardless, she had managed to save the day smoothly and Qi Yue sighed in relief.
Gu Huai: “Sorry for causing trouble for my girlfriend.”
Qi Yue hurriedly waved her hands, “No, no, not at all, it’s alright, it’s what I should do!”
After all, there’s no such thing as a free potato!
After the confessing girl was angered away, the crowd of onlookers also dispersed in twos and threes.
Gu Huai’s scene had been successfully salvaged, but over at Qi Yue’s side…
Sure enough, as soon as the crowd thinned out, Qi Yue caught the intense gazes of Ye Luwei and Liang Kai beaming straight at her.
Qi Yue quickly whispered into Gu Huai’s ear, “That, big shot, do you see those two people? One’s my senior sister, the other’s my senior brother. They must have misunderstood just now. Later I’ll need your help to explain our relationship to them; otherwise, if they think you’re my boyfriend, they will start worrying needlessly about me!”
Upon hearing Qi Yue’s last words, Gu Huai looked slightly surprised, “Why would they worry if they misunderstand that I’m your boyfriend?”
Qi Yue sighed, “My senior sister doesn’t like guys who are too smart, and my senior brother doesn’t like ones who are too handsome, saying smart ones will trick me, and handsome ones won’t settle down…”
Gu Huai instantly fell silent: “…”
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Luwei and Liang Kai had already approached with a menacing look in their eyes.
Ye Luwei seized Qi Yue and began the interrogation, “Damn! Qi Yue! What’s going on? When did you get a boyfriend? How long have you been together? Such a big deal, and you didn’t even tell me?”
Liang Kai: “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t go for someone too handsome? Weren’t you complaining that dealing with love rivals when you’re with a handsome guy is too troublesome? You seem quite happy handling it though?”
Gu Huai, listening to this on the side, allowed the corners of his eyebrows to lift imperceptibly.
Qi Yue got so dizzy with all the nagging, “Well, you guys, calm down and listen to me explain… It’s not what you’re thinking… I’ve only just met him… I’m not his girlfriend… Just now I was merely helping him out of a situation…”
Liang Kai and Ye Luwei both shot Qi Yue a look of “not believing a single word.”
Ye Luwei snorted coldly, “Are you kidding me? With the act you two put on just now?”
Liang Kai clicked his tongue, “I’d believe it if you said you’ve had a long-standing affair for ten years!”
Qi Yue was at a loss for words, “What ten years! Don’t talk nonsense! We’ve known each other less than a month…”
Ye Luwei narrowed her eyes slightly, “Known each other for less than a month and you’re already pretending to be his girlfriend to get him out of a situation?”
Liang Kai: “What did he give you in return?”
Their eyes gleamed as they stared at Qi Yue, already fantasizing about some romantic storyline.
Qi Yue glanced at Gu Huai and then lowered her voice to Ye Luwei and Liang Kai, “He is Professor Shen’s nephew, has access to firsthand hybrid potato materials, and he helped me secure a spot to visit the three-thousand-mu potato experiment field! Is that benefit enough for you? Stop asking so many questions! If you scare him off, I’ll never let you off the hook!!!”
Ye Luwei: “…”
Liang Kai: “…”
What was supposed to be a campus romance, how did it turn into rural revitalization…
