Chapter 18: Chapter 018: Woman, You Have No Heart
Song Qiuqiu had just finished confronting someone and was feeling quite refreshed when she suddenly remembered, "Oh right… Are you still going to the class reunion tomorrow night? The class monitor didn't have your number, so he asked me to check with you."
As Song Qiuqiu spoke, she seemed conflicted, "If I don't go, it's like I'm afraid of them, but if I go, dining with them is pretty disgusting…"
Qi Yue thought for a moment, "Forget it, I won't go. I have to prepare my graduation thesis lately, and I'm quite busy."
"True, it's a waste of time. I won't go either!" Song Qiuqiu immediately said.
Qi Yue gave a wry smile, "You should go if you want, don't mind me."
Song Qiuqiu clasped her arm, "No! If you're not going, why would I! Dining with those people is pointless!"
Her family owned a farm, and she had known Qi Yue since they were in the countryside. Later, her parents moved to the city to provide her with a better education, and she ended up attending the same high school and later the same university as Qi Yue, even choosing the same major.
She had known Qi Yue for so many years; their relationship was even closer than that of real sisters.
Of course, she had to accompany her best sister. Why bother pleasing irrelevant people!
"Hmph! Those people really have no taste. My Yue Bao is clearly the epitome of pure desire!" Song Qiuqiu hummed.
Qi Yue raised an eyebrow, "'Epitome of pure desire'… Baby, aren't you seeing me through too thick of a filter?"
She really couldn't associate herself with that term…
Song Qiuqiu widened her eyes, "What! You're just misunderstanding yourself, aren't you? You're so beautiful! And not just ordinarily beautiful! You're both innocent and sexy, simply perfect! Plus, you're naturally dim, which makes you even more adorable! You just don't dress up usually! Just wait, I will definitely make you over when I get the chance!"
Qi Yue gave her a look, "Please don't, I'm stuck in the experimental fields every day. Who am I dressing up for? Potatoes? Or pigs?"
Song Qiuqiu's face darkened, but then lit up: "Hey, wait! Dress up for Gu Huai! Aren't you meeting the bigwig in the three-thousand-acre potato field next month? Please let me handle your outfit for that day! If you don't have one, you can wear mine. I have a lot of pretty dresses!"
"Dresses…" Qi Yue's mouth twitched, "Honey, you know I'm going to inspect a potato field, not to watch a meteor shower… Wear a dress?"
Song Qiuqiu immediately looked as disappointed as a frost-stricken eggplant: "Woman, you're heartless!!!"
...
The next evening.
Song Qiuqiu had spent the day exhausting herself catching pigs for vaccinations and had even twisted her waist, now she was completely sprawled in the dorm unable to move.
Qi Yue, with her strong physique, felt hardly any effect.
Song Qiuqiu enviously glanced at the still vibrant Qi Yue, "Yue Bao, I can't move, bring me some food…"
"Got it! Do you want stir-fry from Old Liu's behind the school? How about a cup of milk tea?" Qi Yue asked.
"Yes! Yue Bao, I love you! What would I do without you!"
"Alright, rest well! I'm going to buy it!"
The street of delicacies.
After Qi Yue bought the food, she hadn't expected to bump into a group of acquaintances just around the corner near the parking lot.
The center of attention was Qi Zhen…
The girl next to her was Chu Jiapei, surrounded by several high school classmates.
Weren't they having a high school reunion tonight?
Why would they come near A University?
Qi Yue thought for a moment and remembered, this street of delicacies near A University was quite famous, housing many trendy restaurants…
They probably had just finished dining.
Qi Zhen indeed looked different from before, with immaculate makeup, high heels, designer clothes, and a luxurious car parked next to her, chatting and exchanging pleasantries with a group of high school mates.
Sun Hao exclaimed with a sense of marvel, "Geez, while we're still struggling with college and research projects, Qi the Great Beauty is already driving a BMW! This model costs at least a couple million per piece, right?"
Chu Jiapei affectionately looped her arm through Qi Zhen's, "Of course, Qi Zhen is blooming in both the competitive and entertainment circles now! Even the hottest variety show recently invited her!"
As everyone was talking, someone suddenly asked, "Isn't A University just ahead of this food street? I remember Qi Yue is at this school. She didn't come tonight?"
Class monitor Qian Haicheng spoke up with a slight awkwardness, "I did notify them. She and Song Qiuqiu both said they didn't have time."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged knowing looks.
Chu Jiapei chuckled, "She's probably embarrassed to show up because she's not doing well… Qi Yue too, we're all classmates, what's there to be embarrassed about? By the way, Zhenzhen, Qi Yue isn't really planting fields every day, is she?"
Qi Zhen smiled and replied, "No, don't be silly, she's just majoring in agronomy."
Chu Jiapei pouted, "Still, isn't that farming? Fieldwork in class, continue farming after graduation..."
A look of helplessness flickered across Qi Zhen's face, "Employment prospects in Qi Yue's field aren't great, and my mom is quite worried. So, she plans to have her come home and marry early. We even arranged a blind date for her recently, but she didn't seem too enthusiastic…"
Chu Jiapei showed a surprised appearance, "Seriously! She's being picky? What kind of boyfriend does she expect with her credentials?"
As Qi Zhen was talking with Chu Jiapei, she suddenly looked towards a spot not too far away, "Qi Yue…?"
