Chapter 277: Chapter 276: A Short Parting is Better Than a New Marriage Chapter 277: Chapter 276: A Short Parting is Better Than a New Marriage The man stood nearby, holding a black suitcase and a delicate paper bag, looking travel-weary.

It was like a sudden spring breeze blowing from the peach orchards, gently crashing into her eyes, making her heart tremble along with it.

“Gu Huai…”

Gu Huai had returned.

Qi Yue was stunned for a moment; then, realizing what happened, she immediately ran toward Gu Huai.

Running quickly, Qi Yue was slightly out of breath by the time she reached Gu Huai, but then she suddenly didn’t know what to say.

She and Gu Huai hadn’t seen each other for nearly a month. Gu Huai seemed a bit thinner, with some dark shadows under his eyes, yet his spirit seemed quite good, his eyes bright when he looked at her.

Qi Yue scratched her head, suddenly feeling embarrassed, unsure of what to say.

While considering what to say, she looked up at Gu Huai and noticed that he seemed… not much better than she was; his expression also seemed a bit awkward, as if restraining some intense emotions in the depths of his eyes.

Qi Yue felt the atmosphere was a bit strange, yet didn’t know what exactly was off.

Not far away, Su Xiaotang held her face excitedly, “Wow! This atmosphere! This atmosphere! A short parting is better than a new marriage!”

Jiang Lang saw that Gu Huai had returned and was initially happy to greet his friend, but then he noticed that the guy only had eyes for his girlfriend and couldn’t accommodate anyone else.

Even Ling Feng noticed and very wisely didn’t go over to be a third wheel.

Song Qiuqiu was beside them, her face full of maternal worry, “This is the first time I’ve seen Yue Bao this shy and flustered…”

This is a real crash!

…

“Sorry, the meeting took longer than expected.”

Finally, it was Gu Huai who broke the silence.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue quickly waved her hand and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay, I also just got back a few days ago… Have you… been okay during this time?”

Gu Huai, “Smooth. You?”

Qi Yue, “I’ve been okay too, I actually learned quite a lot this time…”

Gu Huai, “Hmm.”

Qi Yue, “You seem thinner… You must be very tired after so many days of work, you should hurry back to the dorm to rest, you haven’t even had a chance to put down your suitcase!”

Gu Huai, “It’s okay, no rush.”

Gu Huai looked at her academic gown, “Taking graduation photos today?”

Qi Yue nodded, “Yes, we just finished taking the group photo, and I was just walking around with Qiuqiu and the others, taking some pictures for keepsake. I was just telling Qiuqiu, when you got back, we could take some more together… to keep as memories.”

Gu Huai, “No rush.”

Qi Yue, “…”

Why is it ‘no rush’ again? She was actually quite anxious; who knew if there would still be a chance to take photos.

Thinking this, Qi Yue had already acted.

By the time she realized what she was doing, she had already reached out and grabbed the corner of Gu Huai’s coat.

Gu Huai looked toward the hand grabbing his coat corner and then followed it up to the girl’s eyes.

His gaze seemed to carry heat; Qi Yue felt burned by that gaze and instinctively pulled back her hand, coughing lightly, looking toward the less crowded side of a small lake, “That… shall we go there? I… I have something to tell you…”

Gu Huai, “Okay.”

Watching the two head toward the lake, Jiang Lang stroked his chin, “Holy moly! What’s Potato thinking! Why is Old Gu leading people into the grove as soon as he’s back!”
