Chapter 93: Chapter 093 Chaos of war
The haystack was so comfortable, and the singing so enchanting, that before they knew it, both of them were lying on top of it.
Listening to the song under the starry skies and moonlight, Qi Yue couldn’t help but feel a sense of inexplicable sadness.
“It’s really nice…” Qi Yue said.
However, she hadn’t expected Gu Huai to listen to this kind of love song.
Especially one that was somewhat sorrowful and lonely.
“This song is really beautiful, it’s just a bit melancholic. What’s its name?” Qi Yue asked.
...
Gu Huai said, “Mercury Chronicles.”
“Mercury… Why is it called that? Is there a meaning behind it?” Qi Yue asked.
Gu Huai spoke indifferently, “Probably to express a kind of emotion, like Mercury and the sun, revolving around, close at hand, yet unable to get close, daring only to accompany in silence…”
“Ah… Isn’t that… unrequited love? But, people aren’t Mercury and the sun, why can’t they get close if they’re within reach? Why not just pursue directly?” Qi Yue turned her head, looking towards Gu Huai.
Gu Huai also turned, meeting Qi Yue’s gaze: “Because they dare not, nor do they feel worthy.”
The look in Gu Huai’s eyes at that instant made Qi Yue’s heartbeat skip inexplicably.
Even though they were discussing music, she had the sense that Gu Huai was talking about his own feelings.
But soon, Qi Yue dismissed the thought.
How could that be! After all, he’s an idol!
And there was someone he felt unworthy of, and even dared not pursue?
Only one possibility remained!
Unless the other person was an angel!
The two lay listening to the music for a while.
Qi Yue glanced at her phone and seeing it was getting late, she prepared to get up to buy local produce, fearing the farm might close soon.
“Idol, let’s go buy pork!” Qi Yue said as she sat up.
But the haystack was too soft, and the spot where Qi Yue had placed her hand happened to be hollow. So as soon as she leaned on it, her hand sank down, causing her to lose her balance and uncontrollably fall towards Gu Huai.
By the time Qi Yue realized what was happening, she had already “thump” fallen directly onto Gu Huai.
Instantly, she was enveloped in Gu Huai’s scent…
Qi Yue’s messy hair was scattered over Gu Huai’s face, collarbone, shoulders…
Gu Huai probably hadn’t expected her to suddenly lunge at him, his eyes still held a trace of bewilderment, but soon that bewilderment was devoured by his deep, dark eyes, leaving only the reflection of stars and moonlight in the sky, and at the very center, fully, her shadow…
Below was the soft haystack, above was the dazzling Milky Way, in the night, their breathing audible, hair entwined, Qi Yue’s heart beating out of rhythm for no reason, but beneath her palm, Gu Huai’s heart seemed… even more chaotic…
“I’m… I’m so sorry…” Qi Yue quickly scrambled up.
Only, in her haste she became even more flustered, and the hand that was on Gu Huai’s chest slipped, causing her to almost topple over again.
Fortunately, in the next second, Gu Huai’s hand steadied her by the waist.
Qi Yue forcefully straightened up, only to let out a pained cry—
“Ah!”
Her hair was caught in the buttons of Gu Huai’s clothes…
Qi Yue: “…!!!”
What kind of karma had she created! Gu Huai must think she’s an absolute fool!
“I’m so sorry… I’ll just pull out my hair…” Qi Yue said with a sad face as she reached to pull her hair free.
Above her, there seemed to be a sigh: “Qi Yue, don’t move.”
Perhaps it was the oppressive tone of Gu Huai at that moment that made Qi Yue dare not move.
Gu Huai reached out and fiddled with her hair for a moment, and finally, with a tug.
Qi Yue didn’t feel any pain and when she looked up, she saw that Gu Huai had torn off one of his own shirt buttons…
