If you like him, confess to him. What’s the point of… (2)

“I’m looking for Gu Xun.”

Yue Qianling retracted her gaze and said softly.

Yi Hong was not at all surprised, after all, Yue Qianling was the second person to come looking for him tonight.

He turned around and shouted, “Gu Xun, Yue Qianling is looking for you!”

Gu Xun turned his head, his gaze penetrating the glass door. Under the dim light, Yue Qianling’s slender figure appeared a little blurry.

He glanced lightly and, suddenly, the tone of the woman’s voice on the phone changed, “Did I hear that right? Yue Qianling? Isn’t she your Aunt Ju’s daughter?”

Without waiting for Gu Xun to answer, Gu Pingyun asked again, “Are you still together so late?”

Clearly, she had been arguing strongly just now, but as soon as she heard Yue Qianling’s name, her attention suddenly took a sharp turn.

Gu Xun sighed lightly, “It’s just a company team-building. There’s something going on, so let’s not talk about it now.”

He hung up the phone, pushed open the balcony door, and walked towards Yue Qianling.

Yi Hong also turned around and went back to the room. For some reason, he looked back at Gu Xun with a teasing look behind Yue Qianling’s back.

Gu Xun didn’t respond to his playful look and walked straight towards Yue Qianling.

“Something wrong?”

Yue Qianling handed him the hangover medicine from Huang Jie, “Uh, my colleague brought some hangover medicine. I noticed you guys drank quite a lot tonight, so I brought some over for you.”

In fact, Gu Xun was fine, not feeling much effect, but Yi Hong was indeed a bit tipsy. He had just sung from Liang Jingru to Tu Honggang and even mentioned having a concert in the bathroom, which was a sign of delirium.

So, he accepted the medicine, “Thank you.”

Yue Qianling lowered her hand and opened her mouth, she hesitated for a moment before saying, “Um… thanks for what happened today. I don’t know if that supervisor will cause you any trouble.”

Gu Xun heard this and wanted to say something, but he found that the colleagues passing by in the corridor were eyeing them, so he finally held back what he wanted to say and just licked his teeth nonchalantly, saying, “You don’t have to worry about it.”

A smile curled up at the corner of Yue Qianling’s lips.

She didn’t know that, in fact, even if it wasn’t her today, Gu Xun would have done the same for anyone unfamiliar.

It was just that before this matter was said, he suddenly heard a loud singing voice from behind him.

“The Yellow River flows eastward! The stars in the sky are aligned with the Big Dipper! Hey! Hey! The Big Dipper! A bowl of wine for the life-and-death friendship!…”

“……”

“……”

Gu Xun turned around and glanced, suddenly bursting into laughter.

When he turned his head back, he happened to meet Yue Qianling’s smiling eyes.

The moment their eyes met, the curve at the corner of Gu Xun’s mouth had not yet faded.

In that instant, Yue Qianling felt that the lights around her suddenly became brighter. Her eyes twinkled for a moment, and she could clearly hear the sound of her own heartbeat.

“The medicine you sent came just in time.”

“Yeah, you should get some rest. Good night.”

Although it was not early, many people were still in high spirits, forming groups of two or three to go to the hot springs behind the mountain.

When Yue Qianling returned to her room, Huang Jie was changing into her swimsuit.

“Want to go soak in the hot spring?”

“I’m not going.”

Yue Qianling shook her head. “I think my period is coming.”

“Alright then.”

Huang Jie put on her bathrobe, grabbed a towel, and quickly left the room.

The room was quiet again. Yue Qianling picked up her phone and saw that Xiao Mai had already sent a lot of messages in the group chat.

【Xiao Mai】: Is there no chicken dinner tonight?

【Xiao Mai】: Where is everyone? Have you all gone on vacation?

【Xiao Mai】: @LuoTuo @SchoolGrass @GlutinousRiceTwist

【Xiao Mai】: No way, am I the only one spending the holiday in the dorm alone?

【Luo Tuo】: Here, here!

She thought about it, and since Huang Jie wouldn’t be back for a while, she decided to play a game.

【Glutinous Rice Twist】: I’m here.

【Xiao Mai】: @SchoolGrass, the sedan chair has arrived at your doorstep!

After a few minutes.

【School Grass】: Logging in

***

Yue Qianling played the game very calmly tonight and even let Xiao Mai get a few kills from the bots.

“Wow, you actually let someone get a kill.” Luo Tuo said sarcastically, “Did the sun rise from the west? Or did you get possessed?”

“Isn’t that the basic operation of someone with a 7. 0 KD?” Yue Qianling replied.

As they were talking, they encountered a lone wolf. Yue Qianling shot him to low health but didn’t continue shooting. “Come on, Luo Tuo, you take this kill.”

Luo Tuo happily went up and fired two shots. He asked, “You seem to be in a good mood today. Did something good happen?”

Yue Qianling: “How did you know I’m in a good mood?”

Luo Tuo: “……”

The two of them chatted for a while, and then Luo Tuo suddenly said, “By the way, I haven’t heard you mention your crush for a long time. How is it going?”

Yue Qianling raised an eyebrow and didn’t say anything. She saw a 6x scope on the ground and said, “There’s a 6x here, Lin Xun, do you want it?”

“Mark it.”

Since entering the game, apart from “help me find a gun” and “here’s an M24,” this was his third sentence.

After Yue Qianling marked it, she sighed deeply, “How should I put it? I just feel that now, I have hope.”

“Oh?”

Luo Tuo coughed, “How do I say it, you two are close now?”

“You could say that.”

She smiled, “Haa, Luo Tuo, let me ask you. If a guy is usually indifferent but is very protective of you at critical moments, does that mean he has a good impression of you?”

“Um…”

Luo Tuo, who usually responded quickly, fell silent for a while before saying, “Maybe. Is this guy usually introverted?”

“Yes.”

Yue Qianling said, “Very introverted and doesn’t like to talk.”

Luo Tuo fell silent again.

It sounded like it might be true.

Damn.

Brother, this is dangerous.

After a while, Luo Tuo said, “Um, maybe that’s right.”

“But…”

Yue Qianling turned over, lying on the bed and propping up her upper body.”Haa, forget it.”

Seeing that she seemed to have something to say but stopped, Luo Tuo became curious, “What’s wrong? Say it.”

Yue Qianling was still figuring out how to phrase her words when Lin Xun, who had been silent throughout their conversation, suddenly spoke.

“If you like him, confess to him. What’s the point of telling us here?”

Confess?

Yue Qianling’s mind began to depict that scene.

No way.

She dared not.

Seeing her silence, Luo Tuo teased: “What, you don’t dare?”

“What dare not?”

While chasing a bot, Yue Qianling said, “Modern young people only know how to attract and seduce.”

She paused for a moment, pretending to be disdainful, “As for confessing, that’s an old thing from hundreds of years ago.”

In her headphones, Lin Xun let out a sneer, carrying a hint of contempt.

“Calculus is also an old thing from hundreds of years ago, can you do it?”
