Chapter 298: Chapter 297: Missing You Chapter 298: Chapter 297: Missing You Three years later.

Qi Yue, wearing black rubber shoes and a straw hat, was covered in mud spots but didn’t mind. She casually rolled up her sleeves and was answering everyone’s questions in the fields.

The old village chief stood on the ridge full of worry, sighing as he waved to Qi Yue, “Yueyue!”

“Chief, are you looking for me?” Qi Yue walked over.

Seeing the chief’s expression, Qi Yue spoke with understanding, “Chief, has the teacher urged us again? There’s really no rush for that. I can go and talk to him.”

After a long drag on his cigarette, the old village chief finally said, “A few days ago, Professor He did indeed ask me for someone again. Out of selfishness, I truly don’t want to let you go…

However, I’m not unreasonable. I know that with your abilities, you belong to a much broader world. You’ve already done so much for the village these past few years. As for the journey ahead, we can walk it ourselves…”

Qi Yue quickly reassured, “Chief, don’t worry. Even if I leave, if the village has any issues, you can contact me anytime!”

“Good child!” The old village chief nodded with a relieved smile, then looked sternly at Qi Yue, “The thing I’m most worried and anxious about is not this!”

Scratching her head, Qi Yue asked, “Ah? Then what are you worried about?”

The chief spoke urgently, “Of course, I’m worried about your lifelong matter! Look at the other girls, at your age they could already have kids old enough to fetch soy sauce. But you, up to now, don’t even have a boyfriend! I appreciate all that you’ve done for the village, but we can’t have you neglecting your personal life for the sake of the village!”

Hearing this, Qi Yue said helplessly, “It’s not like that… Chief! I have a boyfriend, and we’re in a stable relationship, ready to get married anytime! I remember telling you about it, didn’t I?”

The old village chief gave her a knowing look, “You’re just trying to pull the wool over my eyes. How could I not know you! You’re so busy every day that your feet hardly touch the ground. How could you have time for a boyfriend? Get ready to marry him?”

Qi Yue and Gu Huai had been quite busy over the years, and since they were in a long-distance relationship, they rarely saw each other. Therefore, everyone in the village thought she was single. Even when she mentioned having a boyfriend, they thought she was just saying that to avoid matchmaking.

Qi Yue replied confidently, “If you’re determined, you can always make time! I’m very busy, but that hasn’t stopped me from dating!”

Although both she and Gu Huai were busy, they contacted each other every day. Even the sight of a pretty flower would prompt her to send a photo to Gu Huai. He seemed even more eager to talk than she was; usually a man of few words, but ever since they started dating, he had endless topics to share every day, and he didn’t mind even when she was too busy to reply.

[On the way to the research institute, I often encounter a kitten with a crescent-shaped pattern on its forehead. Very cute. It reminds me of you (photo).]
[Visited A University today. The promotional video playing at the entrance is still the one we filmed together, which made me miss you a bit (photo).]
[It’s snowing in A City, and I miss you a lot (photo).]
…

While Qi Yue was speaking, her phone chimed with a message from Gu Huai.

[Passed by a potato field, looks like the ones you grow (photo).]
Qi Yue quickly responded: [Wow! Where is this potato field? It’s as good as the ones I grow!]
Ah, she missed Gu Huai so much!

Speaking of which, it had been a very long time since she and Gu Huai last saw each other.

However, fortunately, after three years, everything in Taoyuan Village was on the right track, and she was soon to be transferred to A City.

Seeing Qi Yue smiling affectionately at the potato field in the distance, the old village chief shook his head and sighed, “This child is probably falling in love with Potato…”
