The Heartthrob Became My Boyfriend

Chapter 195: Chapter 194: Why Are You Running?
 

Chen Jing, who had been praised and considered a genius since childhood, was being called brainless and stupid for the first time.

Angered and no longer caring about maintaining his composure, Chen Jing’s face contorted as he said, “Qi Yue! Don’t go too far! If it weren’t because you are Zhenzhen’s sister, because of our families’ relationship, do you think I’d want to talk to you at all? You were the one who started talking to me at dinner that day! And now you are acting all high and mighty here?”

Qi Yue’s mouth twitched slightly, “Sir, I say you’re brainless and you won’t even admit it, thinking a few words with you means I like you, that I am interested in you… What era are you living in? Today when we met, you started the conversation, so should I then say you are thinking about me? Let me tell you…”

Qi Yue was in the middle of a heated reply when suddenly, hurried footsteps came from behind her, a familiar refreshing scent mixed with searing heat suddenly rushed toward her…

The next second, Qi Yue felt her wrist, which had been at her side, tighten, and then she realized someone had suddenly grasped her wrist.

Qi Yue looked down in astonishment following the hand that had grabbed her, and then she saw a face that, no matter when, always seemed distractingly handsome.

Differently, though, this face now displayed complex emotions she had never seen before, the ocean-deep eyes seeming to churn with huge waves, even breaths carrying a rush and panic, the grip on her wrist both hurried and forceful, as if… as if he was afraid she would run away…

Qi Yue hadn’t expected Gu Huai to suddenly appear, and was momentarily stunned, “You…”

Gu Huai’s breathing was still somewhat erratic, his dark and melancholic gaze locking intensely on her, his grasp on her wrist tightening, “Running away?”

Qi Yue swallowed instinctively, murmuring, “Ah? No… not running… I said I had something… really had something… I am feeding pigs…”

As she spoke, Qi Yue awkwardly looked down at her wrist caught in Gu Huai’s grip, “Um… your… hand…”

Gu Huai pinched the bridge of his nose with his other hand, his messy breathing easing slightly, but the hand that held Qi Yue’s wrist didn’t loosen at all.

Qi Yue: “…”

What… what’s this situation…

“God… God Xiu…?”

It wasn’t until she heard Chen Jing’s voice beside her that Qi Yue remembered there were other people around.

Finally, Gu Huai let go of her wrist, his cool gaze swept over Chen Jing.

“You guys…” Chen Jing looked between Gu Huai and Qi Yue, speculating in his mind if the two were fighting about something.

But the atmosphere between them didn’t quite seem like that…

Chen Jing wasn’t particularly interested in that; he was more interested in Gu Huai.

After all, once Gu Huai joined, he would lead all their project teams…

Having the rare opportunity to meet this big shot privately, Chen Jing didn’t dwell on other thoughts and promptly took out his phone, seizing the chance to speak, “You are God Xiu, right? I have heard a lot about you! I am Chen Jing, a researcher at NT Scientific Research Institute, we will be colleagues soon. I always wanted to meet you and discuss academics, but never got the chance…”

“Chen Jing…” Gu Huai glanced at Chen Jing and didn’t refuse, but said, “Wait a moment.”

After that, he turned to look at Qi Yue.

Qi Yue had rushed to feed the pigs, hastily thrown on her lab coat, forgetting to roll up its slightly lengthy sleeves, now awkwardly holding the pig feed in her hands, somewhat dazed.

Gu Huai reached out to carefully roll up the sleeve of the hand holding the pig feed.

Qi Yue: “…?”

After rolling up one sleeve, Gu Huai then spoke to her, “The other hand.”

Qi Yue blinked blankly and reflexively lifted her other hand too.

Then, Gu Huai helped her roll up the other sleeve as well.

After sorting both sleeves, Gu Huai took the pig feed from her hands and started feeding the pigs himself…

Qi Yue: “…!?”

Ah this…

What’s going on…

What’s God doing here?

Just as Qi Yue was utterly confused, Gu Huai elegantly feeding pigs, turned to Chen Jing and said, “Sorry, just a moment, let me help my girlfriend finish feeding the pigs.”

Chen Jing: “…”

Qi Yue: “…”
