Chapter 96: Chapter 96: He’s the Boyfriend, Right?
Su Xiaotang’s eyes sparkled, “Wow! Yue Bao, you’ve finally caught on! You actually invited the expert to stargaze?”
Qi Yue said offhandedly, “It’s the expert who wants to see them, probably because he’s never seen them living in the city.”
Su Xiaotang: “…”
Song Qiuqiu’s mouth twitched slightly, “Alright… indeed I can’t count on you… ”
Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang once again accepted the fact that there could be no sparks between Qi Yue and Gu Huai…
At that moment, Song Qiuqiu’s phone rang.
...
It was a WeChat message from Jiang Lang.
Song Qiuqiu casually opened it, and Jiang Lang’s voice message came from the phone: “[Wu Huan, our school’s basketball team is playing a friendly match at the neighboring school tonight, bring some girls over to cheer for us!]”
After listening, Song Qiuqiu directly responded, “[Can’t make it, my back hasn’t recovered, and I’ve twisted my ankle too.]”
Jiang Lang: “[You were moving like the wind when you were eating melon last time!]”
Song Qiuqiu: “[The feeling’s mutual, that was due to a medical miracle, you know what I mean.]”
Jiang Lang: “[Can’t you pull off another miracle for the honor of our school’s basketball team?]”
Song Qiuqiu: “[No.]”
Song Qiuqiu straightforwardly rejected him without compassion, not because she deliberately wanted to save face, but truly because she had twisted her foot rather severely and couldn’t afford to be wasteful in the short term.
Since Jiang Lang and Song Qiuqiu were conversing through voice messages, Qi Yue could hear their conversation as well.
Thinking of something, Qi Yue asked, “The basketball game, are Jiang Lang and Ling Feng participating too?”
Song Qiuqiu nodded, “Yeah, they’re both main players, of course they’re participating! They’ve been howling since yesterday about wanting our help to round up people to cheer for them!”
Hearing this, Qi Yue’s expression turned slightly dark, “…”
Doesn’t that mean Gu Huai is the only one in the dorm today?
With such a high fever, is he going to be alright all alone in the dorm?
Initially, she had thought that with Jiang Lang and Ling Feng in the dorm, there would at least be someone to look after him, but now…
Leaving Gu Huai alone in the dorm with an illness, the more Qi Yue thought about it, the less easy her conscience felt.
“Qiuqiu, Xiao Tang, I’ve got something to take care of, I need to step out!”
Ultimately, unable to set her mind at ease, Qi Yue informed Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang, then hurriedly left the dorm with a thermal container in hand.
Just to be safe, Qi Yue first went to the school infirmary to get some antipyretics, then went to the cafeteria to get a serving of porridge.
After arriving at the male dormitory building, she called Gu Huai.
However, she stood outside the building and called for a long time but no one answered.
Qi Yue looked up at the dormitory building and became even more worried…
“Could something have happened to the expert?”
Perhaps seeing Qi Yue’s restless wandering at the dormitory entrance, the Dormitory Auntie approached and asked, “Student, are you looking for someone?”
Qi Yue quickly replied, “Ah yes, Auntie… My friend, he’s sick with a high fever. I’m worried about him and came to check on him, bring some medicine. But his phone just won’t connect… I’m afraid something’s happened to him… ”
The Dormitory Auntie, seeing the concerned look on Qi Yue’s face, smiled and said, “Is it your boyfriend?”
“No, no, just a friend… a very close friend…” Qi Yue explained.
The Dormitory Auntie had an expression of understanding without revealing her thoughts, “Then you go up and see your friend!”
Qi Yue: “Ah! Can I? This is a male dormitory…”
“Go on, go on! Check on him, and if he’s alright, just leave the things for him and come out quick!” Perhaps due to the special circumstances, the Dormitory Auntie easily waved her hand in agreement.
Qi Yue, grateful for the permission, said, “Thank you, Auntie! I’ll come right down after checking on him, and I promise no one will find out!”
