Chapter 21: Chapter 021 My First Love
Looking at the big shot’s ride, several girls couldn’t hide their envy.
“I suddenly don’t want to sit on a BMW and smile anymore, I want to cry on the big shot’s bicycle!”
“Please! If I sat on the big shot’s bicycle, I’d die laughing, okay? What’s there to cry about!”
At this moment, one girl looked towards Qi Zhen and spoke weakly, “What’s the situation, Zhenzhen? Didn’t you say that Qi Yue’s family was arranging a blind date for her? But looking at this… it seems like she doesn’t need one…”
“Yeah, no wonder Qi Yue refused! With a man like that by her side, who would even look at anyone else!”
Sun Hao, who had been showing off just moments before, couldn’t help but cough lightly in embarrassment. “That guy might not necessarily be Qi Yue’s boyfriend, you know!”
Chu Jiapei immediately chimed in, “Exactly! That’s Gu Huai we’re talking about here, how could he possibly be involved with Qi Yue?”
The girl who spoke earlier whispered, “But, they do seem really familiar with each other, and with Gu Huai’s personality, why would he so thoughtfully buy her milk tea and give her a ride on his bicycle… and even let her hold onto his waist… ah ah ah…”
Another girl quickly followed up, “And there’s Professor Shen… If I’m not mistaken, it should be Professor Shen Jueming, Gu Huai’s uncle, right? Why would Professor Shen ask Gu Huai to pick up Qi Yue? She’s just an undergraduate from the School of Agriculture…”
“Yeah, yeah! What exactly is going on?”
Everyone turned to Qi Zhen with a gossip-fueled curiosity, “Zhenzhen, do you know anything?”
Qi Zhen’s smile turned somewhat unnatural as she shook her head. “I’m not sure either, I haven’t heard Qi Yue mention anything. Maybe they have some business with her…”
Chu Jiapei added, “Exactly! If he really was her boyfriend, Qi Yue would have told us by now!”
As Qi Yue and Gu Huai had already ridden away on the bicycle, Qi Zhen suddenly called out to Qi Yue’s receding figure, “Qi Yue! Did you know Chu Mufan is coming back to the country next month?”
Qi Yue turned around abruptly, glancing back in Qi Zhen’s direction.
The moment Qi Zhen’s words fell, Gu Huai distinctly felt the girl’s small hand clutching his waist tighten, lightly pinching him there…
Clearly, Qi Zhen’s words had triggered some emotional turbulence in her.
The bicycle weaved through the crowd and gradually entered the campus, flitting along the tree-lined paths.
On both sides were the tall Chinese parasol trees and rows of warm yellow street lamps, with the night breeze bringing a touch of coolness…
“Chu Mufan?”
The voice of Gu Huai carried softly in the cool night wind, “The person you like?”
