Chapter 282: Chapter 281 Favoritism and Exception Chapter 282: Chapter 281 Favoritism and Exception Yue Bao is just too domineering!

In the corner, Su Xiaotang, on the verge of tears from the shock, felt her heart almost stop.

Su Xiaotang, “It’s really like being at the end of one’s rope and then finding a new village amidst the willows and bright flowers!”

Song Qiuqiu, “See that, Jiang Erhuan? My Yue Bao is the most love-struck! No one can compete with Yue Bao!”

Jiang Lang, “Is this like a roller coaster ride?”

Ling Feng, “I have to admit now, Potato’s love-struck brain is nothing compared to Gu Huai’s, who is utterly captivated by Potato…”

Jiang Lang, “Exactly! When Qi Yue mentioned breaking up, Old Gu reacted like he had a negative IQ, totally confused, but then the girl just kissed him, and he calmed down instantly–just can’t bear to watch it! If I ever fall in love, I definitely won’t be so love-struck.”

…

After saying all that, Qi Yue felt a bit embarrassed herself, “I… I didn’t mean anything by it… just saying… I will certainly still respect your decision, that’s why I asked.”

Gu Huai, let’s be honest, the timing of our relationship isn’t great, facing graduation and future choices right from the start.

There are so many things we haven’t had the chance to properly plan; of course, that’s my fault. I was too eager and confessed without considering too much…”

Qi Yue paused for a moment before continuing, “As you know, I’ll be going back to my hometown after graduation, and you, you’ve already planned to go to NT Research Institute, certainly staying in A City…”

Gu Huai, “So what? It’s just a long-distance relationship, the distance of a train ticket.”

Qi Yue frowned, “Even if you think the distance isn’t a problem… what about the time… I can’t be sure how long I’ll be there… I can’t be so selfish as to make you wait for me that long…”

“Why can’t you?” Gu Huai’s expression slightly startled, as if caught in some memory, then after a pause, he spoke, “Luckily, what I’m best at is waiting.”

Qi Yue, “…”

Qi Yue suddenly didn’t know what to say; the various obstacles and concerns she’d been worried about for so long seemed completely trivial to Gu Huai.

Gu Huai continued, “As for the future plans and arrangements you mentioned, they’re never an issue. If you’re worried about time and distance, I can accompany you back home, help you accomplish whatever it is that you want to do.”

When Gu Huai said this, his expression was in no way joking, nor did he show any emotional fluctuation. He was calm and forthright, as though this was a decision he had thought about for years and had considered a thousand times over.

Having been together for such a short time, Qi Yue never expected Gu Huai to go to such lengths, leaving her speechless.

Then, almost without hesitation, she spoke, “How can that be okay! You can’t do that! It’s not fair to you!”

He was so outstanding! He shouldn’t have to make such sacrifices for her!

Just as those admirers of Gu Huai said, he shouldn’t belong to anyone, he should belong to Science…

Gu Huai looked earnestly at the girl before him, “Qi Yue, there’s no such thing as fair or not fair, only what I’m willing to do. Science is my passion, but compared to honors and glory, compared to dedication to academia, I too have selfish desires, favoritisms, and exceptions…”

Qi Yue couldn’t describe how she felt at that moment.

What even her closest parents couldn’t give her, the man before her told her with such conviction that she was that favoritism and exception.

Gu Huai, seemingly having anticipated Qi Yue’s potential objections, didn’t force the issue but said gently, “Of course, if such an arrangement is a burden for you, it’s okay if you don’t want me to do it. I respect your opinion; we can stick with plan A.

I just mentioned it’s merely the distance of a train ticket; I can come to see you any time. As for the time, it’s just a matter of waiting.”
