Chapter 300: Chapter 299: I Am Too Chapter 300: Chapter 299: I Am Too The old village chief patted his chest, “You girl! Why didn’t you say so earlier! My old heart nearly leaped out of my chest because of you!”

Qi Yue looked innocent, “But I did say so, I’ve mentioned long ago that I didn’t let love slip by! You just wouldn’t believe me, would you!”

The village chief was at a loss for words, never in a million years had he expected that this girl actually had a boyfriend, and that her boyfriend turned out to be this young expert who had come from the province.

He really couldn’t figure out how this girl, always as busy as a spinning top, barely touching the ground as she hurried about, managed to have a romantic relationship…

Xiao Li, being young and unable to keep things to himself, couldn’t help but blurt out, “Oh my goodness! Yueyue, how did you manage that! You’re always so busy, like a spinning top, and when you talk it’s at double the speed; in a day, you can go from Taoyuan Village to Longevity Village to Dashan Village to Huaian Village, running from one end of the village to the other, and by evening, you’re already hundreds of kilometers away in an experimental field…

“And yet you still found time to date such a handsome and outstanding boyfriend, how did you manage to balance work and love, do you have any tips? Teach me, please!”

Qi Yue was a bit bewildered by the question, “Ah? Tips? It seems… I don’t really have any…”

Actually, thinking about it, three years ago, Qi Yue had shared the same concerns, also worrying that due to the long-distance and work, her relationship with Gu Huai wouldn’t last.

But now, three years later, she had completely forgotten about this concern without even realizing it.

Because during these three years, she had never once encountered this problem…

“How could there be none!”

Xiao Li wanted to ask more, but then she caught the look Gu Huai gave Qi Yue.

When she first met Gu Huai, the young professor seemed polite and humble, but distant and aloof.

However, from the moment Qi Yue appeared, although his gaze and expression remained the same, his whole demeanor seemed to come to life; his calm and detached eyes, now like dazzling stars, were tender enough to drown someone…

Xiao Li cut herself off, “Cough, Yueyue, you don’t need to answer… I already understand…”

Qi Yue: “…?” What did she understand?

“Well, since you and Doctor Gu are so familiar with each other, you probably won’t be needing us anymore. Why don’t you take Doctor Gu on the inspection?” Xiao Li hurriedly spoke.

“Yes, yes, yes, Yueyue, leave Doctor Gu to you!” agreed the old village chief eagerly.

After knowing the truth, the old village chief and Xiao Li considerately let the two of them have their own time, asking Qi Yue to accompany Gu Huai on the inspection.

…

…

The breeze carried the scent of earth and vegetation, and the locks of hair on Gu Huai’s forehead gently swayed, as if they were stirring her heart.

Qi Yue touched the bluish shadows below Gu Huai’s eyelids: “You have such dark circles! Have you been rushing progress to squeeze time again? After all, in a while I’ll be heading back to City A, so you don’t have to rush over in one go…”

Gu Huai sighed, burying his head in the girl’s neck, tightening the arm encircling her waist a little more carefully, his voice slightly hoarse: “That little cat was adopted by someone a few days ago…”

Qi Yue’s heart clenched in an instant.

Gu Huai said nothing else, just this one seemingly unrelated sentence.

Yet in that instant, she understood everything, understood all of this man’s unspoken yearnings.

Gu Huai had always been especially gentle, especially considerate, even when expressing his longing, he was restrained, never too much, never pressuring her.

But during the countless moments she was unaware of, whenever he saw snow he would think of her, when he saw flowers he would think of her, even seeing a cat with a little crescent moon on its head, he would be reminded of her every time; that little cat, like a fragile wall after his surge of longing had breached its banks…

Qi Yue reached out her hand, gently stroking his back, and spoke softly: “Mmm, the little cat was adopted, huh… I see… Well, I miss you too, I miss you a lot… a lot…”
