Gu Mian almost blushed, but luckily she managed to hold it back. She had to put on a brave face and act as if nothing was happening, saying, "Just discussing something, you know. I read a book the other day, and there were some parts I didn't get, so I wanted to ask him about them."
This explanation was perfectly acceptable, because Nangong Yue really was well-read, and consulting him on bookish matters made total sense.
"Oh." Qin Qian nodded, "Alright then, you guys go ahead."
Gu Mian immediately looked at Nangong Yue. He didn't look embarrassed at all; he calmly adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, nodded elegantly, and said to Gu Mian, "Let's go then."
Gu Mian stepped forward, and the two really walked side by side to the parking lot to get the car.
As they left, Gu Mian's heart was racing. Damn!
This was like playing a daring game in front of everyone!
