Chapter 65: Chapter 065 Can I Still Be Sold?
The life of a senior year student was as busy and dull as ever, with Su Xiaotang and Song Qiuqiu constantly immersed in the tedium of no melons between writing their thesis and interning.
But Qi Yue was different, she spent her days immersed in a sea of knowledge, ceaselessly flipping through various literature on potato hybridization, her fervor was crazier than studying for college entrance exams.
“Amidst the Itinerant World of youth, there’s a preference for conquering all under heaven, vengeance pursued in youth with swift sword and horse… Who, in what year, will share a blood-wiped talk over tea with me, where dreams persist, and the bright moon is at the end of the world…”
Qi Yue, just out of the bath, hummed a song energetically while carrying a basin, radiating vitality.
Contrasting starkly with the ‘life has no more joy to offer’ attitude of Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang…
Su Xiaotang’s mouth twitched slightly, unable to resist complaining to Song Qiuqiu, “Why is Yue Bao so excited these days? She’s like she’s been injected with chicken blood…”
Song Qiuqiu nibbled on a potato chip and chuckled, “Because, she’s going on a pilgrimage soon!”
“Pilgrimage? To what kind of ‘saint’?” Su Xiaotang was puzzled.
Song Qiuqiu: “Professor Shen and the three thousand potatoes…”
Su Xiaotang suddenly realized, “Ah… that! She’s going on a date with the great deity! I almost forgot about that! When is she leaving?”
Song Qiuqiu: “Seems like the day after tomorrow?”
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaotang’s eyes lit up, and she immediately bounced over to Qi Yue, “Yue Bao, are you and the deity going to visit the experimental fields together? When are you leaving, and for how many days?”
Qi Yue replied happily, “We leave the morning after tomorrow, for three days. It’s quite far, the round trip will take two days just traveling! Don’t worry, I will bring you back some local specialties!”
“Oh no! The important thing isn’t the local specialties!” Su Xiaotang’s eyes sparkled as she held her face, “You’re going to be with the deity for three days and nights! According to normal plot development, shouldn’t something happen?”
Qi Yue was confused, “Something like what?”
Su Xiaotang: “Of course, the spark of love!”
Before Qi Yue could respond, Song Qiuqiu let out a dry laugh, “Her and Gu Huai? Sparks of love? In a normal scenario perhaps, but these two… They’re more likely to stir up a dish of hot and sour potato strips!”
Su Xiaotang murmured, “You can’t say that, a potato romance is still romance, a country love is still love…”
Song Qiuqiu: “Please, be realistic, between the two of them, there’s only potatoes, no love!”
Su Xiaotang: “Alright… you’ve got a point…”
Qi Yue paid no mind to the banter between Su Xiaotang and Song Qiuqiu.
She was busy sending a WeChat message to Gu Huai.
President Qi from Big Round Potato Group: [Deity, could you send me your ID number? I’ll book the tickets and hotel for the day after tomorrow!]
After sending this, Qi Yue worried that an ID number was too private, so she added another line.
President Qi from Big Round Potato Group: [Of course, if it’s not convenient for you, you can book it yourself and I’ll transfer the money to you!]
Gu Huai responded quickly on the other end.
He sent his ID number directly.
Following up with: [There’s nothing inconvenient, could President Qi still sell me off?]
Feeling a bit embarrassed after reading this, Qi Yue quickly replied: [Of course not! ]
How could she have the smarts to sell him off…
Thinking this, Qi Yue directly sent: [Deity! With your intelligence, how could I possibly manage to sell you off!]
A few seconds later, Gu Huai replied: [Indeed, unless I’m willing. ]
