Chapter 279: Chapter 278 When Do We Break Up Chapter 279: Chapter 278 When Do We Break Up Qi Yue had been talking for a long while without stopping the car, initially worried that Gu Huai might not be interested in these matters. But Gu Huai had been listening seriously to her plan and responded appropriately from time to time.

“Hmm, it’s indeed very fitting. Nowadays, the public is paying more and more attention to food safety issues, and shared farming will have a promising market outlook,” he said.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Huai continued, “Moreover, the environment of Taoyuan Village is also very good. Nowadays, people prefer healthier travel styles, liking relatively private environments and social gathering-oriented venues. This demographic with strong spending power and high-quality demands represents a large market; their pulling effect on the industry is comparable to mass tourism…”

At that moment, behind a large tree not far from the two, a group of four who were ‘eating melons’ collectively fell silent.

Ling Feng: “Are they talking about love or discussing the great cause of rural revitalization???”

Song Qiuqiu: “I guess it’s normal for Yue Bao, I’m used to it by now, but even the master is…”

Jiang Lang: “Tsk tsk, truly, ‘He who touches pitch shall be defiled therewith’ huh!”

Song Qiuqiu: “Can’t you speak properly? It’s ‘He who keeps company with the vermilion bird becomes red’!”

Su Xiaotang: “Sob sob sob, worthy of the CP I stan, this level of ideological awareness is exceptional! The CP I stan is truly a match made in heaven!”

…

Listening to Gu Huai’s words, Qi Yue’s eyes sparkled, and she immediately nodded in agreement, “Right, I share your view. There’s also the silver hair market; the operation model for wellness and elderly care is an opportunity too. There’s a huge market potential for leisure sites that appeal to wellness, and shared farming can perfectly combine with collective elder care…”

As she spoke and met Gu Huai’s serious gaze, Qi Yue paused, her heart suddenly clenching.

Nobody usually talked about these topics with her. Qiuqiu and Xiao Tang, although very close to her, didn’t really understand or have interest in these topics.

But Gu Huai…

For the first time, she had met someone who could discuss these matters so compatibly, so warmly with her.

Even though they had broken up, she didn’t want to lose such a friend.

She had never been in a relationship, and of course, never broken up before; this was her first time, and she really had no experience. However, she had heard that after a breakup, it was nearly impossible to remain friends…

Could they not even remain friends?

At this thought, Qi Yue suddenly felt even more distressed.

But running away and delaying were simply not her style…

Probably sensing that something was off with Qi Yue’s expression, Gu Huai spoke up, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Qi Yue: “I’m fine.”

Gu Huai looked at her, still seemingly concerned.

Suddenly, Qi Yue stopped in her tracks, stood still, and then looked up at Gu Huai intently.

This time, she didn’t hesitate any longer and finally said what she had been postponing until now, “Gu Huai, when do we break up?”

The moment Qi Yue’s words fell, Gu Huai’s expression froze as if encased in ice, fixated on his face.

Qi Yue didn’t know if it was her imagination, but the man before her, who was always like a breath of spring, seemed to have the light in his eyes devoured by a sudden solar eclipse. His complexion turned pale almost instantly, as if… as if he was standing amidst heavy snow, shot through the heart…

And the shooter was her.

The four people hiding behind the tree ‘eating melons’.

Song Qiuqiu: “…!”

Su Xiaotang: “…!”

Jiang Lang: “…!”

Ling Feng: “…!”

Qi Yue… Qi Yue actually brought up breaking up with Gu Huai???
