Chapter 377 Lian Jinian's Confession

Shen Xuewei clapped at the right moment and looked at him with a smile.

Lian Jinian only played one match before being replaced. He then sat next to Shen Xuewei and had no intention of playing again.

Shen Xuewei handed him the water in her hand, "Tired of hitting? Aren't you done?"

Lian Jinian, with his hands supporting him at his sides and leaning slightly back, shook his head upon hearing this:

"I don't want to play anymore. How about you walk with me around the school later?"

He invited Shen Xuewei over today; watching him play basketball was secondary, the more important thing was yet to come.

He had been playing for a while and was slightly sweaty, but thankfully he didn't smell bad. He didn't want to leave a bad impression on Shen Xuewei by being covered in sweat.

The exams were over, and Shen Xuewei had free time tonight, so she was happy to spend it with him.

"Sure."

In the corner, several of Lian Jinian's friends received the signal from Lian Jinian and gave an "OK" sign.

Then, avoiding Shen Xuewei's gaze, he quickly left the audience seats.

After watching everyone play basketball, Lian Jinian and Shen Xuewei got up as the audience gradually dispersed.

The two strolled slowly along the campus, and under Lian Jinian's deliberate guidance, they eventually arrived at a corner of the North Forest of the school.

"Weiwei."

Lian Jinian suddenly called out to Shen Xuewei, who, immersed in the atmosphere, softly hummed in response.

Lian Jinian simply walked beside her, keeping pace with her, and after calling out her name, he didn't say anything more. Shen Xuewei was a little puzzled and turned to look at him.

But Lian Jinian looked nervous and swallowed hard.

After their hands touched again, he finally took the opportunity to grasp Shen Xuewei's hand.

Shen Xuewei was taken aback, but did not break free.

The two held hands tightly, and she could even feel the sweat on Lian Jinian's palms.

Lian Jinian led Shen Xuewei forward, and after passing the large tree blocking their way, Shen Xuewei saw the place that had been prepared behind the tree.

The small space was surrounded by a circle of blue hydrangeas, adorned with clover, and wrapped with a ring of small ambient lights that emitted a warm yellow glow.

Eighteen light blue balloons of the same color floated halfway down beside the circle, each with a gift bag tied to its bottom.

In the center of the circle, the character "薇" (wei) was formed by laying out flower petals.

Lian Jinian led Shen Xuewei to the center, and under Shen Xuewei's gaze, his hands trembled nervously.

He stretched out his hand to the side, and a number of people rushed out from around the corner. They were all his and Shen Xuewei's close friends.

The man in the lead, carrying a bouquet of flowers, quickly ran over and handed them to Lian Jinian.

Lian Jinian, holding the bouquet of flowers, took a step back, faced Shen Xuewei, knelt on one knee, and handed the flowers to Shen Xuewei with both hands.

“Weiwei, today marks six months since I met you. From the first time I saw you, every day since, I've looked forward to seeing you again. I'm afraid it would be too abrupt, but I'm also afraid of missing out on you…”

His voice trembled slightly as he spoke these words of confession, but he remained focused, giving all his attention to Shen Xuewei.

"...I like you and want to spend more time with you in the future. Would you like to be with me?"

A relationship should begin with a bouquet of flowers and a formal confession; Lian Jinian always remembered this saying.

He remembered Shen Xuewei telling him that she liked a sense of ritual, but didn't like things that were too lively or too solemn.

So he searched all over the school and finally chose this secluded place to set up a venue for his confession.

I didn't tell too many people, only privately with close friends of both sides.

The friends who appear here are all people the two of them often see and get along well with.

These gifts tied with balloons were all prepared by him based on Shen Xuewei's preferences during their time together, taking more than two months to prepare.

He held up the flowers, looking at Shen Xuewei with sincere eyes. He used one hand to feel around among the flowers and pulled out the rose with the swan necklace attached to it.

Just as he was about to hand it to Shen Xuewei, the necklace fell to the ground with a "thud" as soon as he reached her.

He seemed somewhat stunned, his gaze following the necklace as it fell to the ground, feeling as if his heart had died and his head had been severed.

The eight or nine onlookers secretly covered their faces. The atmosphere had reached this point, but then this sudden turn of events ruined the whole thing.

Shen Xuewei was deeply moved by his earlier confession.

This sudden accident didn't bother her much, but seeing Lian Jinian's utterly devastated expression, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing that Lian Jinian almost collapsed to the ground after hearing her laughter, she quickly stopped smiling.

Lian Jinian pursued her for an entire semester, and she didn't reject his advances, which meant she was also interested in him.

Now, Lian Jinian's confession, in her view, was not abrupt, but a natural announcement, and Shen Xuewei accepted it gladly.

She hasn't had many romantic experiences in both her lives, and she doesn't currently plan to remain single for the rest of her life.

She has someone she likes and wants to have a proper relationship with them.

At this time in her previous life, she had just finished the college entrance examination and was working a summer job in a factory to earn tuition and living expenses. She was so busy that she had no time to date.

The junior college I later attended was a women's college.

The school was full of girls, and the few men were teachers, so I never dated anyone throughout my entire university years.

Her first relationship began after she joined the company and underwent an internal transfer to become an operations assistant.

This kind of office romance is exciting and novel at the beginning.

However, we saw the same face at work and the same face after get off work, and we also had many arguments because of work.

Shen Xuewei's relationship only lasted three months before ending because she and her partner grew to dislike each other.

Once we were back to being just ordinary colleagues, seeing each other again made me feel...

Hey, this is the annoying guy. How did I end up dating him/her like I was under a spell?

She wasn't the only one with this idea; he did too.

Until Shen Xuewei left her previous job and joined another company, none of her former colleagues knew that the two of them had talked.

After leaving their jobs, the two became friends, but nothing ever happened between them again.

When Shen Xuewei was raising money to treat Chen Fangmin's illness, her ex-boyfriend learned that she was short of money and even lent her 20,000 yuan.

My ex-boyfriend wasn't a bad person; it's just that the two of them weren't suited to be together.

Sometimes Shen Xuewei wonders if relationships that start in school are more suitable and last longer.

So, given a second chance at life, she wanted to experience what campus romance felt like.

She bent down to take the flower, sniffed it lightly, and said to Lian Jinian, who looked up in astonishment:

"I really like the flowers, and I like the necklace too. Won't you pick them up and put them on me?"

Lian Jinian then seemed to wake up from a dream, making several "oh oh oh" sounds, picking up the necklace from the ground, wiping it several times with his clothes, and then, with trembling hands, helping Shen Xuewei put it around her neck.

The onlookers were about to cheer as he helped Shen Xuewei put on the necklace.

The next moment, Lian Jinian asked in a silly tone, "Weiwei, will you say yes to me?"

Everyone sighed in unison.
