The Heartthrob Became My Boyfriend

Chapter 122: Chapter 121: Anti-Fraud
 

Qi Yue did not expect such an intense reaction from them and was a bit stunned, “Uh… don’t get excited… let me explain…”

Song Qiuqiu’s face was full of disbelief, “You and the ‘Great God’ wore a pair of Solidarity Knot bracelets and you’re telling me not to get excited?”

Su Xiaotang, with her hands on her hips, spoke emphatically, “Okay, speak! This time I refuse to believe you can have any ridiculous explanation!!!”

Qi Yue: “…”

The truth is… there really was one…

Qi Yue murmured, “Earlier, didn’t the ‘Great God’ and I give that room to an elderly couple? You remember that, right?”

Song Qiuqiu nodded, suspiciously, “Yes, I remember! What does that have to do with you guys wearing a pair of Solidarity Knot bracelets?”

Qi Yue coughed lightly, “It does relate, and the relation is quite significant… To thank us for our help, that elderly couple later gave us a pair of Solidarity Knot bracelets they had woven themselves. The ‘Great God’ originally intended to give both to me, but obviously, it would have been awkward for him to keep them both! In the end, he suggested splitting them, which I thought was quite fitting, so each of us took one…”

Song Qiuqiu’s face was incredulous, “Are you kidding me, one each!”

Su Xiaotang too was amazed, “Solidarity Knots can be given away like this?”

Song Qiuqiu, baffled, “And you thought that was quite fitting?”

Qi Yue: “Um, it was quite fair… Besides, the ‘Great God’ thought so too…”

By the last sentence, Qi Yue felt even more confident.

Song Qiuqiu was so taken aback by Qi Yue’s logic that she was speechless, “Could it be that the ‘Great God’ is a high-IQ, low-EQ… naive straight man?”

Su Xiaotang hesitantly voiced, “Maybe the ‘Great God’ does not care about whether it’s a pair or not and just sees it as a treasured token of gratitude…”

Song Qiuqiu still felt something was off, “Wait, even if the origin of the bracelets can barely be explained, what about the ‘Great God’s’ button? Who sewed the second button on his shirt, with such horrible sewing, could it have been ‘Great God’ himself?”

Qi Yue was shocked at this remark, “Uh, I specifically used thread the same color as the shirt to sew it back on, did you even notice that?”

Seeing the bracelets was one thing, but how did they even notice this? Were they examining Gu Huai with a magnifying glass?

Song Qiuqiu was dumbfounded for a full three seconds before finally saying, “Yue Bao, you, you, you… what does this mean?”

Su Xiaotang again widened her eyes, “The button was sewn by you???”

Qi Yue awkwardly scratched her head, “Yes… My hair accidentally got tangled around the button, and the ‘Great God’ just ripped it off… I offered to compensate him with a new shirt, but he refused, so I bought a sewing kit and sewed the button back on…”

Not long ago, Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang were eagerly wanting to know the truth behind today’s juicy gossip.

However, at this moment, having fully understood the truth, both of them felt utterly disheartened…

Su Xiaotang had a face that screamed betrayal, “Hair getting tangled in the shirt button??? You two were supposed to be in a wholesome rural revitalization drama, why create such over-the-top soap opera plots! It’s simply deceiving us naive viewers!”

Song Qiuqiu grasped Qi Yue’s shoulders, shaking her in anguish, “Yue Bao, how could you do this to me! Fake news, yet again fake news! I’m going to download a scam-busting app!!!”

Qi Yue: “…”
