The Heartthrob Became My Boyfriend

Chapter 31: Chapter 031: How Can a Boyfriend Compare with a Great God?

Qi Yue, Jiang Lang, and Ling Feng had added each other on WeChat some time ago, and after a while, these two probably saw the conversation she was having with Gu Huai in the comments and quickly came over to leave messages.

Jiang Lang: [Potato, confessing your love bright and early is really dedicated of you! Gu Huai, be a human being, will you? Please stop endlessly spreading your charm, it’s a disaster for naive girls!]

Ling Feng: [Exactly, exactly, be a human being! Stop with the dreamy love potions!]

Qi Yue: [Don’t you dare insult my idol! My idol doesn’t need to be human! I love love potions!]

Jiang Lang: […]

Ling Feng: […]

Song Qiuqiu: […]

Back at the dormitory, Song Qiuqiu, who knew the whole truth, was shaking her head with her phone in hand.

Others fall head over heels in love, lose their minds; but her, oblivious to the beauty of Gu Huai, who could rival a harem of three thousand with his stunning looks, only had eyes for Potato…

…

That afternoon, after coming back from the experimental field, Qi Yue made a point to take a bath and change her clothes.

Normally, at school, because she often had to go to the experimental field and take care of animals, Qi Yue’s outfit was almost never changed; she would wear a straw hat, black rubber or waterproof sports shoes, and then her athletic clothes and overalls with a sun protection jacket, or just throw on a uniform lab coat.

Today, after taking a bath, Qi Yue deliberately picked out casual clothes to wear; though simple, they were refreshing. The top was red, a color Qi Yue rarely tried.

The clothes were still from a shopping spree months ago with Song Qiuqiu, tags intact, never worn before.

“Blossoming like an iron tree, you are, going for both a bath and changing into new clothes. Are you going to light some incense later too?” Song Qiuqiu came back to see Qi Yue bustling around.

While changing, Qi Yue replied, “Meeting important people, of course, calls for some attention to one’s image; it’s basic manners.”

Song Qiuqiu’s lips twitched: “You do have manners… If you were always this attentive, you probably would’ve had several boyfriends by now…”

“Don’t talk nonsense! How can a boyfriend compare to my idol!” Qi Yue immediately responded.

Song Qiuqiu: “…”

Song Qiuqiu had learned to automatically translate that to: “How can a boyfriend compare to Potato.”

When Qi Yue was fully dressed, Song Qiuqiu’s eyes suddenly brightened.

The outfit was very everyday, with the only embellishment being a shawl tied from the shoulder to the front, but just a slight tidying up made it stand out, like a dusty pearl wiped clean.

As Song Qiuqiu spoke and size up the outfit, “Hmm, this outfit of yours… although it’s not a dress… it’s pretty great! Didn’t we buy it together last time? It’s youthful and lively… and auspicious…”

“Right!” Qi Yue also felt the same, quite satisfied with today’s attire, “When you’re in a good mood, you should wear red!” @@novelbin@@

Song Qiuqiu could see she really was in a good mood, “It’s been a long time since I saw you in casual clothes, all thanks to Gu Huai. Otherwise, who knows when this outfit would’ve seen the light of day at the bottom of your trunk!”

Indeed, when Qi Yue first joined the academy, she was quite the sensation for a while, even being dubbed the department beauty, and at one point, threatened the reigning campus queen.

However, before she could dethrone the queen, as soon as she dove into her career, she ran off like the pigs escaping their pens in the experimental garden… and her style changed dramatically.

Latter, only a few boys from her major tried to pursue her, albeit unsuccessfully.

In the beginning, Song Qiuqiu wondered if Qi Yue was just not interested in those few, but after meeting Gu Huai, she was convinced of one thing, Qi Yue’s love for Potato was truly genuine…
