Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 343 Gaffe

From the moment the video call is connected.

Yue Qihua kept her composure and didn't let her expression show.

She intended to maintain this posture until she hung up the phone.

But Yang Xingyue's words, "I knitted it by hand with Huahua," immediately broke Yue Qihua's defenses.

Teenage girls are not the kind of strong, independent women who are consistent inside and out in society.

Yue Qihua is usually very straightforward.

But in private, she and Ai Liang were just one step away from breaking up.

Yue Qihua had already shown her tender side on the day Ai Liang left Nevada.

Therefore, it is difficult to maintain the previous image in front of the person you love.

What’s more important is!
Yue Qihua used to say that she couldn't understand the meaning of knitting a scarf by hand and giving it to her sweetheart.

'With that effort, wouldn't it be the same to just buy one?'

Yue Qihua said this.

And now...

Looking at the scarf and gloves that Ai Liang had knitted herself in the video, and recalling the words she had said before.

Yue Qihua wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

She had never felt so embarrassed in the past ten years.

From the moment she started buying yarn, Yue Qihua fantasized more than once about traveling back in time, covering her mouth in disbelief.

Turning the camera to the other side can certainly conceal one's blunder.

But that can only cover it up for a while; sooner or later, the phone will have to be returned.

Yue Qihua took a deep breath and turned her phone back.

To cover up her embarrassment, she began to change the subject.

"Xiaoxiao and Ma Yu went out on a date, so we might not be able to reach them today. The keyboard and mouse were gifts from Ma Yu, and the face wash was a gift from Xiaoxiao..."

"I thought you sent me the keyboard and mouse."

To be honest, when I heard that Yue Qihua had also participated in the knitting of scarves and gloves, I was quite surprised.

Ai Liang was genuinely surprised.

He originally thought the keyboard and mouse were a gift from Yue Qihua, and that Fang Xiaoxiao and Ma Yu had pooled their money to buy a facial cleanser set.

The more surprised Ai Liang was, the more embarrassed Yue Qihua became.

"...Couldn't I have sent something else?"

Yue Qihua, in a fit of desperation, retorted, "Do you think I'm some kind of internet addict?"

However, as soon as the words left her mouth, Yue Qihua regretted them.

She felt that her tone was a little too agitated.

It's said that a woman's IQ drops significantly when she's in love.

As it turns out... he was absolutely right.

Yue Qihua always thinks things through before she speaks.

Never before have I blurted out something without thinking.

"Pretty much, at least you don't have any idol baggage."

Ai Liang nodded in affirmation of her statement.

This made Yue Qihua even more disheartened.

"Ai Liang, don't say that about Hua Hua. Hua Hua has been taking time out of her day to learn knitting techniques in order to knit gloves."

Yang Xingyue bluntly exposed Yue Qihua's shortcomings: "In the month since school started, she has been watching textile-related skill videos even during breaks."

She rarely plays games on weekends, spending all her free time practicing knitting, though her initial attempts were quite disastrous.

"Stars and Moon?!"

Yue Qihua cried out in shame and indignation, raising her hand to cover Yang Xingyue's mouth.

But we've already said almost everything we needed to say, so there's no difference whether we cover it up or not.

Ai Liang put down the scarf and smiled, "Thank you, I like it very much."

Ai Liang's incredibly calm demeanor infected Yue Qihua on the other side of the video.

She said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I originally wanted to come and celebrate your birthday in person, but my grandfather is always worried that something might happen to Xingyue and me, so he doesn't want us to travel far."

Ai Liang comforted her, "It's okay, I don't really like celebrating birthdays anyway."

Ai Liang's birthdays have always been very quiet and solitary since she was a child.

It's not that his family doesn't value his birthday.

When Ai Liang was very young, Feng Chengfu held a birthday party for him.

However, Ai Liang really dislikes those social banquets where people come and go.

There won't be a second time.

Ai Liang's precocious personality meant that he never complained even when no one was there to celebrate his birthday with him.

Seeing how mature and sensible their child was, and with their own busy work schedules, Ai Zhe and Feng Yue gradually neglected to celebrate the child's birthday.

Furthermore, Ai Zhe and Feng Yue have been constantly at odds for the past ten years, making it even more impossible for them to find time to celebrate Ai Liang's birthday together.

Usually, they prepare birthday gifts in advance and have the nanny deliver them.

For example, apart from the New Year, the only time Ai Liang saw the two of them together this year was the day he left Nevada.

"Not liking something now doesn't mean you won't like it in the future."

Yang Xingyue suddenly interjected, "I'll make you like celebrating your birthday from now on!"

Yang Xingyue was talking about her birthday, but both Ai Liang and Yue Qihua understood another meaning behind her words.

Yue Qihua's first reaction was to run away.

Although Yang Xingyue kept using the idea that the two of them were dating Ai Liang together to brainwash Yue Qihua.

However, Yue Qihua also has her own values ​​and it is impossible for her to accept Yang Xingyue's idea in just a few months.

But if we really have to leave no room for negotiation, we should reject Yang Xingyue's idea of ​​the three of us dating.

She couldn't make up her mind.

Because if he rejects this proposal, his relationship with Yang Xingyue will inevitably change.

Therefore, Yue Qihua had no choice but to use this point to maintain the relationship between the three of them.

This conflicting feeling caused Yue Qihua to remain hesitant and indecisive throughout.

Besides being shy, this was another major reason why she kept avoiding Ai Liang.

"Let's talk about the future later."

Ai Liang, however, showed little interest in Yang Xingyue's words.

However, he maintained a poker face, and his expression showed no difference from usual.

Seeing that Ai Liang was avoiding the topic, Yang Xingyue quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Ai Liang, did your teacher talk to you about the joint entrance exam?"

Ai Liang shook her head: "We were on holiday right after the mock exam on Friday. I heard from others that the homeroom teacher talked about it during evening self-study, but I didn't go to class."

"Our homeroom teacher told us that the exam venue for this joint exam for the top classes has been decided, and it's our school."

Yang Xingyue was very excited: "The joint entrance exam is at the beginning of next month. I heard you'll be coming at the end of this month. Is that true?"

"probably."

Ai Liang doesn't care much about exams.

He had seen others discussing it in the class group chat before, but he was still unsure if it was at this exact time.

Yang Xingyue clapped her hands happily: "Great! We'll have a day off before the joint exam, let's go out and have fun together then!"

Yue Qihua sighed, rubbing her forehead, "Xingyue, Ai Liang and the others are acting as a group, so the teacher might not let him out."

“But Ai Liang is a local,” Yang Xingyue said, feeling wronged.

"It doesn't matter that they're not locals. Don't you remember? Ai Liang's class is very strict."

Yue Qihua solemnly warned Yang Xingyue: "Don't make things difficult for Ai Liang."
