The Heartthrob Became My Boyfriend

Chapter 32: Chapter 032 Everyone Loves Beauty

Qi Yue had deliberately arrived ten minutes early to wait for Gu Huai.

It was now the sunny March of spring. The courtyard was planted with many peach trees, and the peach blossoms were in full bloom, petals fluttering down with the evening breeze.

As Qi Yue walked over, that was the scene she beheld, Gu Huai dressed in a simple casual outfit, walking through the spring wind, through the flurry of peach blossoms, his features picturesque, his tall figure like a graceful, towering bamboo, relaxed yet ethereal…

Sure enough, the great god was still as unreal as ever, but perhaps because of the peach blossoms adding a touch of earthly spring charm, Gu Huai at this moment didn’t have that aloofness of drifting away with the wind. Instead, he seemed gentle and tender…

“Qi Yue…”

Only when she heard Gu Huai’s voice did Qi Yue come back to her senses.

She had actually been mesmerized by beauty!

“Have you been waiting long?”

Qi Yue hurriedly shook her head, “Not at all! I just arrived, and to my surprise, I saw you coming out…”

After Qi Yue finished speaking, she noticed that Gu Huai’s gaze remained on her, so she scratched her head and looked down at herself, “What is it?”

“It’s rare to see you wearing such bright colors; they suit you very well.”

“Thank you!” Qi Yue smiled, “I chose this outfit especially because I was in a good mood today! I dug it out just for today!”

“Is that so?” Gu Huai let out a soft chuckle, a smile more enticing than a shower of thousands of peach blossoms.

“Where are we going?” Gu Huai asked.

“To the Central Square in the city center, it’s quick to get there by subway,” answered Qi Yue.

“Subway… Are you sure?”

“Sure…”

“Okay…”

… @@novelbin@@

Initially, Qi Yue didn’t understand why Gu Huai had to ask that extra question before they left, but as they reached the busy subway station, she finally understood.

Wherever Gu Huai went, the rate of turning heads was incredibly high.

Most people looked with polite restraint, but of course, there were those who were blatantly overbearing, almost sticking themselves onto him.

Indeed, the love of beauty is universal…

Whispers of private conversation could occasionally be heard.

“My God! Look at that man over there, he’s so handsome and has such a great presence! Could he be some celebrity?”

“I don’t know, but he’s even more handsome than a celebrity, right?”

“Too bad, looks like he has a girlfriend…”

Qi Yue was certain that if she hadn’t been standing by Gu Huai’s side, making those people think she was his girlfriend, there would have been one wave after another coming up to ask for his WeChat.

Once on the subway, there were no seats available, so Qi Yue and Gu Huai found a less crowded corner to stand.

“Um, is it like this every time you go out?” Qi Yue asked, looking up.

Gu Huai seemed to be well accustomed to the attention around him, but there was a hint of cold indifference in his eyes that she had never seen before. When he looked at her, his usual calm returned, “People are always attracted to beautiful things…”

Hearing this, Qi Yue chuckled, “You could just say you’re annoyed because you’re too handsome!”

Gu Huai couldn’t help but laugh, his gaze intensifying on the girl, “What if one day I am no longer handsome? When beauty fades and love wanes…”

Although Gu Huai was joking, Qi Yue could sense the chill in his tone and comforted him without thinking, “How is that possible! That’s only for those who value appearance over everything else, and you’re not just a pretty face! Not only do you look good, but you also have a kind heart, a high IQ, and talent. You are the full package, both inside and out. Besides being a little less skilled at shooting, I haven’t found anything you can’t do… So, you really don’t need to worry about that…”

Gu Huai chuckled softly, this time with warmth in his laughter, “I appreciate President Qi’s high praise.”

Qi Yue waved her hand dismissively, “No need to thank me, I just like to tell the truth!”

As the two were talking, two girls standing diagonally opposite kept looking in Gu Huai’s direction and whispering to each other. One of them even took out a phone, obviously trying to sneak a photo.

Qi Yue could sense that although Gu Huai was used to the attention and seemed indifferent, in reality, he was just good at hiding his displeasure.

When the girl tried to sneak a photo, Qi Yue stepped to the side, blocking the girl’s view…

The next second, the girl’s voice could be heard, somewhat frustrated, “How annoying!”

Qi Yue immediately raised an eyebrow, her gaze unhesitatingly turning cold as she looked at the girl, “Taking sneaky photos of someone else’s boyfriend, who’s the annoying one now?”
