The Heartthrob Became My Boyfriend

Chapter 140: Chapter 139 Willingly
 

Qi Yue had never expected that Gu Huai would actually know; she was dumbfounded, completely shocked, and stammered, “You… you know… you know it was me???”

The moment the girl’s words fell, in the darkness, Gu Huai’s deep and tranquil eyes suddenly lit up with dazzling fireworks.

It was only after Qi Yue had finished speaking that she realized she had exposed herself, and she quickly covered her mouth.

But obviously, it was already too late.

Her statement not only admitted that it was indeed her first kiss but also confirmed that she was the person from that night.

Qi Yue was still in shock, her mind buzzing, and she hurriedly tried to explain, “That… it was pitch black at the time, and I wasn’t sure what had happened until the truth or dare game, when you answered that your first kiss was ten minutes ago… I… I was certain then… I’m so sorry, it really wasn’t intentional!!!”

Gu Huai looked at the girl’s nervous and apologetic demeanor and replied with good temper, “It’s alright.”

Seeing how easy-going Gu Huai was, Qi Yue felt even more embarrassed and guilty, “Then… then why did you say everyone only got half of it right?”

Gu Huai glanced at the girl, “It did happen during the blackout, and they guessed the timing right. However, they got something wrong.”

“Where did they get it wrong?” Qi Yue didn’t understand.

“To be forced, that’s what you call a forced kiss.” Gu Huai answered slowly and deliberately.

Qi Yue nodded upon hearing this, “Right… it was clearly an accident on my part! Really!”

Gu Huai smiled but said nothing.

The night breeze was slightly cool, but Qi Yue felt that Gu Huai’s smile carried a scorching warmth, as if the air was swirling with heatwaves.

At that moment, the taxi finally arrived.

Qi Yue and Gu Huai got in the car, and just as they sat down in the back seat, two girls hurried over, “Wait!”

Qi Yue looked out the car window and recognized them as the two girls who had fought with her for a spot during the group photo.

One of the girls, looking at Gu Huai inside the car with sparkling eyes, said, “Big Shot, can we hitch a ride? It’s so late, and it’s not very safe for the two of us girls to go back alone!”

Gu Huai didn’t show any indication of speaking; instead, he directly looked at Qi Yue.

Qi Yue, seeing this, cleared her throat, “The car has space for two more, why not take them with us?”

Gu Huai: “Up to you.”

The girl repeatedly thanked them, “Thank you so much! Big Shot, you’re such a good person!”

The other girl glanced at Qi Yue and said, “Could you sit in the front? I want to sit with my roommate.”

Qi Yue felt it was no big deal and was about to nod subconsciously, but before she could get up, Gu Huai, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, “Sorry, I’m not comfortable sitting with strangers.”

Upon hearing Gu Huai’s words, the two girls froze and immediately felt embarrassed.

Gu Huai spoke indifferently, “If you want to sit together, you can call another taxi.”

The two girls turned red-faced from Gu Huai’s words; after all, they had come to hitch a ride, and picking their seats seemed a bit too demanding…

But Gu Huai stating it so bluntly seemed a bit too much of a snub, didn’t it? After all, they were girls!

Were they strangers, while that girl was already familiar with Gu Huai?

“It’s late at night; isn’t it a bit unsafe for those two girls…” Qi Yue quietly said to Gu Huai.

Gu Huai glanced at the girl carelessly, “President Qi, I’m not a savior; I can’t ensure the safety of all the girls. They are adults and should be responsible for their own safety.”
