Chapter 014: Accompany You to Watch the Potato Field

Qi Yue heard the door opening and turned around: "Qiuqiu! You're back!"

Song Qiuqiu lifted the bag in her hand: "I brought you your favorite milk tea and skewers!"

"Love you, Qiubaoer~" Qi Yue hurried over to greet her.

Song Qiuqiu handed the items to Qi Yue, then politely greeted Gu Huai, who was on the video call on the phone, "Ahem, hi, big shot..."

Even though it was just a video call and the lighting on the other side was somewhat dim, she was still struck by the big shot's attractiveness.

Gu Huai returned a smile: "Just call me Gu Huai."

In the night, the man in white clothes with black hair had eyes more beautiful than the night itself...

Unable to contain herself, Song Qiuqiu lowered her voice and whispered to Qi Yue, "Yue Bao, how in the world do you manage to talk about potatoes with that face?"

Qi Yue took a sip of her milk tea, her eyes contentedly squinted: "Then what should we talk about?"

Song Qiuqiu: "Of course about poetry, philosophy, the essence of life, romance and the beauty of nature..."

Qi Yue: "What a waste that would be! Every moment of a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"

Song Qiuqiu: "...????"

...

The two of them chatted until three in the morning.

"My goodness! It's so late! I really thank you for today! I won't disturb your rest now, let's continue another time, shall we?" Qi Yue snapped back to her senses and realized it had almost turned into an all-nighter.

"No problem, I often stay up late in my line of work too, I'm used to it."

Judging from Gu Huai's state, he indeed seemed far from tired.

"By the way, after talking for so long, I haven't yet asked what your major is?" Qi Yue belatedly realized that after chatting for most of the night, she knew next to nothing about Gu Huai.

Gu Huai chuckled lightly: "Life Sciences, actually there's quite a bit of overlap with your field of study."

"No wonder you know so much!"

"Learning is endless, I too have many things I'm unclear about, and many of your viewpoints are quite innovative."

"I haven't had such a joyful chat in a long time either! Hey, what should we talk about next time? It seems like we've pretty much covered everything we could talk about tonight..."

Qi Yue really enjoyed their conversation tonight; all the queries about hybrid potatoes she wanted to ask Gu Huai were pretty much asked.

So, she felt like she might not really need the remaining chances?

Upon hearing this, Gu Huai's brow imperceptibly arched: "You've got two more times, not cashing them in?"

Gu Huai nodded, then slowly began to speak, "I might indeed be short on time in the future, Professor Shen's project has officially started research. Jiangcheng City has built a new 3,000-acre potato experimental field, and next month I have a project that requires me to do research there..."

Qi Yue was instantly wide awake: "...!!!!"

Three thousand acres of potato fields!

Qi Yue got excited right away: "Can I go see it? Just to visit! Just for a little while!"

"You want to go?"

"Yes!"

Gu Huai thought for a moment: "Organize your relevant materials and send them to me, I'll help you apply for a spot to visit and exchange. You're a student from A University and it's related to your field of study, there shouldn't be a problem."

Qi Yue was so thrilled she almost wanted to leap through the video: "Thank you so much! If it works out, I'll treat you to a meal! Plus, I'll reimburse all the travel and accommodation expenses to Jiangcheng City!"

On the other side of the video, the corners of Gu Huai's lips curved up slightly: "Then I'll have to thank President Qi."

Song Qiuqiu hadn't gone to sleep either; she was binge-watching a series.

While watching, she would occasionally pay attention to what Qi Yue was discussing with the big shot.

After listening a few times, she didn't want to listen anymore...

After Qi Yue hung up the video call, Song Qiuqiu, with dark circled under her eyes, yawned, "You really made the most out of this windfall..."

Out of gossip, she had listened all night long, and all she heard about was potatoes.

She guessed that tonight's dreams would be inescapable from potatoes too...

"So, you've also set up your second date?" Song Qiuqiu asked.

Qi Yue replied with a face full of the joy of being in love, "Yes! I originally thought I wouldn't need the second or third times since we had pretty much covered everything tonight, but then he said he could take me to see the 3,000-acres of potato fields! Who could resist that?"

Song Qiuqiu: "..."
