Chapter 82: Chapter 082: It Doesn’t Matter, Feel Free to Rub Along
Zhao Yuchuan: “…”
Qi Yue: “…”
The mountain breeze swept by, leaving nothing but stillness and silence.
Caught off-guard, Zhao Yuchuan nearly burned himself and let out a cry of pain, “Ah, hiss…”
Qi Yue blankly held the potato that Gu Huai had passed to her earlier, her brilliant mind taking several turns to barely grasp what Gu Huai had meant.
Zhao Yuchuan glanced at Gu Huai and then at Qi Yue, completely baffled and tinged with subtle awkwardness.
...
Who would have thought… Gu Huai actually liked Qi Yue?!
He was stunned for a long while before finally stammering out, “Ah! Just now… just now the junior sister said you two weren’t very familiar, I didn’t know you two… I had no idea that Doctor Gu you had feelings for the junior sister…”
Qi Yue: “…????”
Don’t say you didn’t see it coming, neither did I!!!
Once again, the air fell into a weird silence for a moment.
Full of questions, Qi Yue looked towards Gu Huai, trying to think of what to say, but Gu Huai looked at her unfazed and then spoke before her, “President Qi, so, we’re not familiar?”
Meeting Gu Huai’s deep and melancholy eyes, Qi Yue paused, feeling inexplicably guilty under his gaze and coughed lightly, “Ah, that… After all, we haven’t known each other for long…”
Based on how long they had known each other, it indeed couldn’t be considered very familiar, right?
That’s why she had said so in front of Zhao Yuchuan and the fans; at the time, it didn’t seem like an issue…
She really hadn’t anticipated that her claim of not being familiar would make Gu Huai angry.
Gu Huai nodded, his gaze slightly downcast. As he patted dust off his hands, he said nonchalantly, “Oh, so a borrowed kiss doesn’t count as familiar, talking on video all night doesn’t count as familiar, you giving me hair ties doesn’t count as familiar, us helping each other out of predicaments doesn’t count as familiar, even spending three days and two nights together in Jiangcheng City doesn’t count as familiar…”
Gu Huai paused there, his gaze sweeping toward Qi Yue like a roaring sea breeze, “President Qi, then what does… count as familiar?”
Qi Yue was somewhat taken aback: “…”
It seemed like she too had suddenly realized that from that “inevitable twist of fate,” she and this elusive figure of renown among her schoolmates had, in such a short span of time, already shared so many encounters…
Qi Yue scratched her head, “Well, that… I didn’t mean it like that… I just meant… we haven’t known each other for a long time…”
Gu Huai responded with a slightly cool tone, “So, you didn’t even want me to appear in your live stream?”
Qi Yue: “…!!!”
“Of course not!” Qi Yue could only explain, “It’s not because we’re not familiar that I didn’t let you on camera! If it’s about not being familiar, I’m even less familiar with Senior Brother Zhao, yet he’s been on camera!
When I said that during the live stream, I was also worried it might be awkward for you, since you’re usually so low-key and definitely wouldn’t like being live-streamed in people’s faces, and besides, by having you on camera it’s like I’m riding on your coattails, I felt that wasn’t very nice…”
Hearing Qi Yue’s explanation, Gu Huai’s expression seemed to soften a bit, “No worries, feel free to ride on them. After all, I do feel quite familiar with President Qi.”
The feel of being implied at, President Qi: “…”
An overwhelmed and on pins and needles Zhao Yuchuan: “…”
Just then, Zhao Yuchuan’s phone rang, and he stood up as if he had been granted a reprieve, “Uh, I… I have something to do later and need to leave first, junior sister, Doctor Gu, if you need anything, just come find me at the workstation over there.”
“Oh, sure, sure, you go ahead and do your thing…” Qi Yue said, waving her hand in a dreamlike daze.
