The Heartthrob Became My Boyfriend

Chapter 193: Chapter 192: Not the Beginning, but the End
 

The entire break room was dead silent, the only sound one could hear was the breathing of one another.

And the sound of water droplets falling from Gu Huai’s hand onto the floor, one by one.

Drip…

Drip…

Qi Yue looked at the pitiful paper cup in Gu Huai’s hand that he almost crushed, and couldn’t help feeling a bit panicked.

Uh, is it that shocking?

Could it be that her actions had frightened the great god?

But hadn’t she given a heads-up already?

Qi Yue pursed her lips, and spoke cautiously, “Um… sorry… Was it a bit sudden… but… but I did give you a warning in advance, and even paved the way for a good half day… sorry about that… I also said I’m impulsive…”

In fact, she had almost blurted it out the moment the game ended.

That she had waited until they were in the break room to say it was a testament to her calmness and restraint!

When Qi Yue spoke, she hadn’t thought much about it, but now that she had a moment to cool down, the warmth began to rise from the soles of her feet to her face. She didn’t dare look at Gu Huai’s expression or reaction, feeling her brain foggy as if it were a boiling kettle, even forgetting how to breathe.

Just when she was about to suffocate herself, her phone rang.

It seemed to be the alarm she had set.

Qi Yue finally caught a breath, and quickly glanced at the phone that had saved her life. Then, with a whoosh, she dashed away from the one who ‘boiled her over,’ ran towards the door at breakneck speed, and hollered to Gu Huai behind her, “I… I’m sorry, great god, it’s my pig feeding time; I have to go feed the pigs now— bye—”

…

Qi Yue didn’t know how she managed to leave the break room, feeling as if she were about to be cooked through.

Only when she had put some distance between herself and Gu Huai did her mind regain a semblance of clarity.

From the moment Qi Yue was sure of her feelings for Gu Huai to when she confessed to him, it had been less than ten minutes.

One could say, she really hadn’t thought it through.

But her decision to do so wasn’t entirely without consideration.

With Gu Huai’s intelligence, unless he personally guided her in pursuing himself, no method or strategy would likely work on him. So why not just be straightforward and blunt, instead of thinking up some complicated plan?

After all, she couldn’t possibly catch up!

Initially, she might have worried that if she just came out with it, future interactions could be awkward, and they might not even be able to stay friends. But then she thought, there were less than three months until graduation anyway. Gu Huai might not even wait till graduation, he could possibly leave school even after today. Once they part ways, there might be no chance of seeing each other again…

So what was there to worry about?

Therefore…

Qi Yue’s confession just now wasn’t the beginning of this romance.

Instead, it was her way of ending the affair.

…

The sound of pigs oinking in the pen snapped Qi Yue back to reality.

And then, looking at a pig, the scene of Gu Huai helping her catch pigs that day suddenly flashed through her mind.

They hadn’t known each other for very long, but in this short time, he seemed to be omnipresent…

“Qi Yue!”

Qi Yue was feeding the pigs absent-mindedly when someone suddenly approached her from behind.

The person speaking was Chen Jing, looking anxious, “I’ve finally found you, I have something to tell you!”

The path through this area was difficult to navigate after the recent rainfall; it was quite muddy, and his expensive shoes and the hem of Chen Jing’s pants were covered with mud.
