Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Public ConfessionFeeling the sudden change in the atmosphere, Wang Xinxin also sobered up a bit, left Zhang Yang’s embrace, and sat up. Everyone involuntarily turned their attention toward the nervous-looking boy in the center. They saw the boy holding a bouquet of flowers and a gift box, standing in the middle of the private room, directly facing Li Lingyu, and then he picked up the microphone. "Li Lingyu, I like you. I’ve liked you since our freshman year. I know you have a long-distance boyfriend." "But that doesn’t stop me from liking you. A girl as wonderful as you should have someone by your side to take care of you, to protect you." "Li Lingyu, can you give me a chance? I promise I will never let you down in the future." This sudden confession took everyone by surprise. Everyone knew about Li Lingyu’s long-distance boyfriend; the rose was taken, so these past few years, even if someone really liked Li Lingyu, they could only shake their heads and walk away. Of course, there had been confessions to Li Lingyu during this time, but over the past two years, they had all been turned down by her. Thus, it had been a long time since anyone had seen a confession directed at Li Lingyu. The boy before them, his eyes full of deep affection, expressed his feelings, bravely declaring his love. To have liked her from the freshman year to junior year, this perseverance was indeed admirable. So, after a brief moment of shock, everyone clapped their hands and cheered, stirring up excitement. They were all young people of the new era, each with their own unique perspective on long-distance relationships. In situations like the one at hand, it naturally counted as one of the risks of long-distance love, which was understandable. At this moment, Li Lingyu sat there somewhat at a loss, not expecting someone to confess to her that day. And just then, her little hand was held tightly in Zhang Yang’s. If not for the dim lights in the private room and the coffee table in front, they would have been exposed. Li Lingyu, while hiding the hand holding Zhang Yang’s behind her back, calmly looked at the boy confessing to her. This little gesture touched Zhang Yang deeply; Li Lingyu, this junior sister, was quite adorable. Equally curious in Zhang Yang’s heart was whether Li Lingyu would accept the confession from the brave boy across from her. After waiting for the boy to finish speaking, Li Lingyu slowly began, "Liu Chao, first of all, I still have to thank you for your affection." From this first sentence, everyone had already guessed the outcome. The boy named Liu Chao also tensed up, disappointment clearly showing on his face, but his eyes were fixed on Li Lingyu, seemingly still hopeful, longing for a miracle. However, miracles were deemed such for the mere fact that their likelihood was almost zero. Li Lingyu also sighed softly and then continued, "Secondly, I have a boyfriend, and under any circumstances, until I’ve confirmed a breakup with him, I won’t start a new relationship." No sooner had Li Lingyu finished speaking than Liu Chao hurriedly asked, "When are you two going to break up?" This question made everyone uncomfortably silent, showing that Li Lingyu respected the boy before her and wanted to preserve dignity for both of them. It also was clear that this boy genuinely loved Li Lingyu, or he wouldn’t have blurted out such a question. Li Lingyu’s expression became serious, and she spoke with a firmer tone, "Liu Chao, what happens between my boyfriend and me is nobody else’s business." Liu Chao’s expression darkened, and then he apologized to Li Lingyu. But then, with a very determined look, he said, "I like you, so I’ll keep waiting for you." "I still want to give you this gift, it’s a birthday present, but as for this bouquet, I’ll take it back." One couldn’t deny that the boy was quite clever, Zhang Yang even felt he was quite nice, especially good at picking the right moment. In this way, Li Lingyu had no choice but to accept the gift, after all, the flowers that expressed love had already been taken back, hadn’t they? In the end, Liu Chao quietly stepped aside, gave a sheepish smile to the classmates around him, and then started drinking with a good buddy. Zhang Yang couldn’t help but smile wryly, this was probably what youth was all about. However, inside he was really puzzled, Li Lingyu’s words just now were very firm; she had no intention of starting a new relationship before breaking up with her boyfriend. So why didn’t she resist when he was holding her hand? This was too strange and entirely inconsistent with Li Lingyu’s style just moments ago. Unless there was one possibility, that Li Lingyu was moved by him? Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Yang couldn’t help but feel a bit narcissistic, but, after racking his brain, he couldn’t figure out any reason for it. Because of what had just happened, the atmosphere in the private room was somewhat awkward, and besides, it was getting late and everyone had classes the next day. So, after two more songs, people left in small groups, heading back to their dorms. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhang Yang asked Wang Xinxin, "Are you going back to the dorm too?" "No need, I’ve already processed my leave permit, and I moved to the house we rented yesterday," Wang Xinxin said with a face full of happiness. After hearing this, Zhang Yang decided not to go back that night either, and to go check out their little nest with Wang Xinxin. Wang Xinxin was naturally happy that Zhang Yang wanted to go with her, but she seemed a bit troubled and said, "Brother Zhang Yang, Xiao Yu isn’t in a good mood today, I’m a bit worried, so could you maybe..." Zhang Yang immediately understood what Wang Xinxin meant, "No problem at all, we’ve got plenty of space, so let’s just go back together, and we’ll buy some snacks for later." "That’s great, Brother Zhang Yang, I knew you were the best." Li Lingyu felt somewhat embarrassed, "Sorry, I’m going to be the third wheel tonight." "What are you talking about? Xiao Yu, we’re the best of friends." Zhang Yang also chimed in, "If I can spend a bit more time with the birthday girl, maybe I’ll get some good luck too." Li Lingyu looked up at Zhang Yang, her complex gaze causing a stir in his heart. But he didn’t dare say more, especially with Wang Xinxin right there. Zhang Yang had been drinking and couldn’t drive, so the three of them took a taxi to the apartment complex where he and Wang Xinxin had rented their place. Zhang Yang and Li Lingyu got out of the taxi one after the other, when Wang Xinxin suddenly said with regret, "Brother Zhang Yang, I need to head back to the dorm to pick up some things, can you take care of Xiao Yu for me first? I’ll be back as soon as possible." Zhang Yang wanted to suggest going together, but Wang Xinxin didn’t give him a chance, she just closed the car door and told the driver to head to the school. Leaving just Zhang Yang and Li Lingyu standing disheveled in the wind, watching the car’s taillights disappear at the next junction. After Wang Xinxin left, the atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward, both recalling the ripples from earlier in the private room. Trying to alleviate the awkwardness, Zhang Yang said, "Well, shall we go buy some late-night snacks before going up to wait for Xinxin to come back?" Li Lingyu nodded in agreement, uttering a soft affirmative sound, but after buying some food, they ended up buying a lot of beer as well. The two of them, carrying quite a bit, finally arrived home...
