The Heartthrob Became My Boyfriend-Chapter 199 - 198 Not That Simple

Chapter 199 -198 Not That Simple

Gu Huai hadn’t even said anything yet, and Song Qiuqiu was already rattling off excuses for him.

“Hahaha! Then we won’t be polite! As expected, only Gu Huai is truly persuasive!” Ling Feng quickly took a seat and happily joined in the feast and drinks.

Jiang Lang held his chin, his face expressing disbelief, “Are you serious about this favoritism? Whether we’re talking about looks or substance, what’s the difference between me and Gu Huai?”

Song Qiuqiu looked incredulous: “Do you hear what you’re saying?”

Jiang Lang: “Song Qiuqiu! You…”

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Ling Feng held up his glass to smooth things over, “Hey, we’re all in the same boat here, why hurt each other? Let’s all have a drink together! To the joy of being single!”

“Cheers, cheers! I love being single! To the joy of being single!”

Jiang Lang noticed that Qi Yue and Gu Huai hadn’t been drinking; Qi Yue seemed to be allergic to alcohol, but why wasn’t Gu Huai drinking either?

“Gu Huai, why aren’t you drinking?” Jiang Lang asked casually.

Qi Yue looked up abruptly, glancing at Gu Huai.

Gu Huai cast a nonchalant glance in Qi Yue’s direction and said in a leisurely manner, “Health-conscious.”

At this, Jiang Lang’s mouth twitched slightly: “Are you kidding me? At your young age, you’re living like an old man. If you keep this up, you’re really going to be single forever!”

Qi Yue: “…”

Dear fellow student, I’d suggest you refrain from jinxing it.

At that moment, Su Xiaotang’s peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the medal in Qi Yue’s bag.

“Wow! Yue Bao! Is that your gold medal? Let me see, let me see!” Su Xiaotang excitedly asked to take a look.

Qi Yue, feeling on edge, absentmindedly handed the medal over to Su Xiaotang without thinking much about it.

Handling the medal with care, Su Xiaotang opened it to take a closer look, weighing it in her hands, “It’s quite heavy. Is it made of pure gold?”

“What are you thinking? How could it be pure gold? At most, it’s gold-plated, okay? If it were pure gold, Yue Bao would be rich by now…” Song Qiuqiu was saying when something suddenly felt off to her, and, touching the medal’s ribbon, she said, “Huh? I remember the ribbon for the female athletes’ medals being red, why has it turned blue?”

Hearing this, Su Xiaotang also chimed in, “Yes, I remember Yue Bao’s was red, and only the ace’s was blue…”

“Yue Bao, did you accidentally swap medals with the ace?” Song Qiuqiu asked casually.

Jiang Lang and Ling Feng were busy drinking and eating kebabs, not caring about the color of the medal’s ribbon.

But Qi Yue felt a sudden pang of anxiety in her heart.

Although the swap of medals with the ace was just a simple gesture of commemoration, thinking about it now, the action seemed a bit ambiguous. If they found out, would they start getting suspicious?

Qi Yue instinctively stole a glance at Gu Huai. His expression remained nonchalant, giving no indication that he intended to speak up, playing along quite well.

He said he would give her time to sort out her “academic affairs” and indeed said nothing at all…

Qi Yue felt helpless; it seemed that she was destined to be implicated by her scheming sisters…

She wasn’t even sure how to bring up the topic, but if they were to misunderstand, it might just work out…

With this in mind, Qi Yue cleared her throat, deciding to tell the truth: “Well, no, it’s not a mistake, I swapped medals with the ace…”

Upon hearing this, Song Qiuqiu’s expression shifted, then she excitedly exclaimed, “Wow! The ace is amazing to swap medals with you!”

“Yeah, yeah, that’s so meaningful!” Su Xiaotang also looked envious.

Jiang Lang, with a mutton skewer in hand, sneered, “It’s just a medal. Gu Huai’s house is full of such medals; what’s all the fuss about!”

“You don’t know squat!” Song Qiuqiu gave Jiang Lang a scornful look, ignoring him, and said to Qi Yue, “Haha Yue Bao, although it’s just a city sports meet, your participation was really worthwhile. Not only did you beat Qi Zhen into submission, causing her to miss her last shot, but you also got the ace’s medal!”

Qi Yue: “…”

Seeing their reactions, Qi Yue was at a loss for words.

Even with all this, you still don’t suspect anything???

There’s really nothing between the ace and me as simple as you think…

It seems that their impression of her being solely focused on Potato had taken a deep root.

Well, what can I say? Actually, Song Qiuqiu’s words weren’t wrong—if you omit the last three words…
