She clearly remembered how angry the deity had been the last time she had spoken like this.
Moreover, given her current relationship with Gu Huai, saying that again would be too much...
So, Qi Yue quickly explained, "How could that be! I said we're close! Very close! It's just that they don't believe me!"
Hearing Qi Yue say this, Gu Huai's expression finally eased.
The sun overhead was too hot. Gu Huai had just been driving a tractor in the unsheltered field, and now his head was covered in sweat. The sweat droplets traced down his forehead, over his brow, and finally dripped into his eyes...
Gu Huai instinctively closed his eyes and asked Qi Yue, "Do you have a tissue?"
Qi Yue hurriedly pulled out a tissue from her pocket, "Yes, yes, I do..."
Qi Yue had intended to hand the tissue to Gu Huai, but he didn't move and naturally tilted his body slightly toward her.
Qi Yue paused for a second, then reflexively raised her hand and wiped his sweat for him.
