Chapter 308: Chapter 307: The Proposal (7) Chapter 308: Chapter 307: The Proposal (7) Qi Qianli heard this and went dark before his eyes, nearly passing out.

“You… you, you, you… Are you trying to infuriate me to death? You’re a girl! How can you propose to a man? What have I been teaching you all this time?”

Qi Yue pouted, “Second Uncle, why are you so forgetful? This is exactly what you’ve taught me!”

Qi Qianli widened his eyes: “How can you brazenly lie like this, girl? When did I ever teach you that!”

Qi Yue spoke indifferently, “How is it not what you taught! Haven’t you always taught me since I was little that men and women are equal, and if boys can do something, so can girls? So why can’t I be the one to propose? Besides, didn’t you yourself tell me to be brave and take the initiative with the person I like?”

Qi Qianli: “…”

Qi Yue, feeling quite aggrieved, continued, “Is it wrong for me to listen to you?”

Qi Qianli felt even more aggrieved, “But I didn’t tell you to be that bold!”

Qi Yue: “Yes, you did! You also said that hesitation means defeat and decisiveness earns the prize! I thought that was quite reasonable!”

Qi Qianli was on the brink of collapsing: “That was just something I said offhand while playing games! Offhand, all right? Why do you take everything to heart!”

I really am… Thank you for being such a good listener!!!

Qi Qianli was on the verge of tears, never having imagined that he himself would be the instigator.

At that moment, Gu Huai spoke up: “Uncle Qi, actually, you’ve really taught Qi Yue well.”

Qi Qianli looked at Gu Huai in astonishment, hesitating to speak, “What, you think I taught her well too? Don’t you know, she’d sneak onto the roof every other day, and even after she broke her leg, she didn’t rest until it was fully healed, then off she went again gallivanting over the hills and fields. What kind of girl does that?”

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue got anxious, “Second Uncle, why do you have to expose my weaknesses when you can’t argue your point? That’s not fair!”

Gu Huai gazed at the girl beside him tenderly, as if Uncle Qi wasn’t exposing flaws, but reciting a beautiful paean, “That shows she is strong and brave, and no matter the adversity, she has the courage to start anew.”

Qi Qianli was filled with question marks, could it be interpreted that way?

Qi Qianli spoke up again, “She would secretly drink my rice wine as a child, end up with an allergic reaction that swelled her face like a pig’s head, and still blissfully claim it was a distinct kind of handsomeness!”

Qi Yue covered her face, not wanting to speak, “That was so long ago, why do you still remember that!”

Gu Huai looked toward the girl with eyes as adoring as stars orbiting the moon, “That shows she’s optimistic and kind-hearted, warming the hearts of those around her at all times.”

Qi Qianli was even more befuddled with question marks over his head, “I can maybe let ‘optimistic’ slide, but how do you explain ‘kind-hearted’?”

Gu Huai: “She doesn’t see it as unattractive, which shows a kind-hearted nature that doesn’t judge by appearances.”

Qi Qianli: “…”

Qi Yue scratched her head: “Uh…”

Even she was confused; was she really that good?

Qi Qianli took a deep breath and continued venting: “She gave up a promising future to carry out a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend, coming to this remote village for three years. Have you ever seen such a fool?”

Gu Huai: “She hasn’t lost sight of her initial aspirations, and always knows where her direction lies. The world doesn’t just need smart people, it also needs cute fools.”

Qi Qianli: “But if she continues to be so proactive every day, aren’t you worried that you’ll get tired of it, find it boring, and no longer want to continue being together in the future?”
