Unfortunately, the beautiful plan fell through again.

The boy, who was over 185cm tall and wearing an Ultraman mask, didn't respond to Zhao Lei's words. His bright eyes glanced at the three of them through the two dark holes in his mask before he walked towards the South Square.

The boy left the shadow of the trees and walked under the street lights. His figure became more slender and upright. He was wearing a black and white baseball jacket, black cropped overalls, and white sneakers. He gave people a feeling of youthfulness and sunshine.

Wu Qinglu sized up the boy's figure and attire while muttering, "He doesn't seem to be Senior Xu. He's quite similar in height, but his clothing style and gait aren't quite the same."

Wang Qiuyu agreed: "I don't think it's him either."

The spark of hope that had been ignited in Zhao Lei's heart was extinguished by their words. She hung her head and said disappointedly, "I thought things had taken a turn for the better and Xu Yanfeng really came."

"Wait a minute, why is that boy approaching Xixi?" Wu Qinglu had been staring at the boy, and when she realized something was wrong, she spoke up immediately.

Wang Qiuyu and Zhao Lei turned their heads at the same time. Sure enough, the boy was standing in front of Xia Xi, his head slightly lowered. Although his expression couldn't be seen, his posture revealed a hint of deep affection.

There were only a few students left in the square to watch, and they were all shocked by this sudden reversal. The atmosphere, which had dropped to zero degrees, began to boil again.

"Damn, is Xu Yanfeng here?!"

"Take a good look, is that Xu Yanfeng? Would Xu Yanfeng wear an Ultraman mask?"

"This...this...is someone confessing their love to Xia Xi?"

"Honestly, I've thought of several possible endings. One is that Xu Yanfeng doesn't come, one is that Xu Yanfeng comes but rejects Xia Xi, and the remaining one is that Xu Yanfeng comes and accepts Xia Xi's confession. How did this fourth ending pop up?"

"Yes, an O. Henry-style ending. It was totally unexpected for me."

Not only was it beyond the expectations of the onlookers, but Xia Xi herself hadn't expected this to happen. She stared blankly at this boy who had appeared out of nowhere, feeling a little surprised, a little bewildered, and a little confused...her emotions were truly complicated.

"Um, is there...something wrong?" Xia Xi was so cold that she almost bit her tongue when she spoke.

The boy looked at her deeply and pushed the rose in his arms forward.

The rich scent of roses wafted into Xia Xi's red, frozen nose. She glanced at the flowers held in the boy's arms. Each one was very bright, blooming just the right size, and dotted with water droplets.

But she didn't answer.

She felt confused; she didn't even know who this person was.

Just when Xia Xi was at a loss, the boy spoke: "Xia Xi, I heard that you were waiting for Xu Yanfeng in the South Square and wanted to confess your love to him, so I ran to the flower shop outside the school without stopping and personally selected a bouquet of red roses. Every single one of them was picked by me. I have been waiting for you for as long as you have been waiting here for Xu Yanfeng. I have thought that if you wait for Xu Yanfeng and he accepts your confession, then this bouquet of flowers will be a congratulations to you. If Xu Yanfeng doesn't come, I will use this bouquet of flowers to confess my love to you. Xia Xi, I am Su Yuanjia from the Computer Department, and I like you."

After confessing his feelings, the boy took off the mask on his face, revealing a handsome face.

A face that was very unfamiliar to Xia Xi.

Su Yuanjia shook the Ultraman mask in his hand and smiled, his whole face becoming particularly lively and handsome: "Do you know why I chose this mask?"

Xia Xi said hesitantly: "Because you like Ultraman?"

Boys all have a special feeling for Ultraman to some extent, and there are also many girls who like Ultraman. For example, she likes him very much. She once deliberately compared which Ultraman is handsome and has high skills, and sometimes argued with her companions until they were red in the face.

Su Yuanjia said, "Every time we encounter difficulties, Ultraman will descend from the sky, defeat the bad guys, and rescue those who are hurt. I hope I can be your Ultraman, descending from the sky when you need rescue."

His eyes were sincere, almost touching. In the romantic and beautiful square, he seemed like the leading actor with his own background music.

Xia Xi placed one hand on his forehead, his thoughts so confused that it was difficult to describe in words.

What is going on? She was waiting here for Xu Yanfeng, intending to confess her love to him, but Xu Yanfeng didn't come. Instead, she waited for Su... Su Yuanjia, who confessed his love to her in the place she had arranged.

Xia Xi's head was dizzy and she couldn't sort out her thoughts. She simply gave up thinking: "Are you serious? We don't seem to know each other."

"You don't recognize me." Su Yuanjia handed the flowers in her arms forward again, her eyes still so sincere, "I have remembered you since the day you moved to the new campus, and have been paying attention to you silently. Because you publicly expressed that you wanted to pursue Xu Yanfeng, I respected your feelings and did not take any action. But you saw that Xu Yanfeng would not come tonight. I felt that I had a chance, so I chose to confess to you today. Xia Xi, I really, really like you. I know you don't know me well enough now, I am willing to wait for you, until you forget Xu Yanfeng and slowly fall in love with me."

I don't know how long he had been brewing these words. As the listener, Xia Xi had to admit that they were indeed very moving.

But she just likes Xu Yanfeng and has no feelings for anyone else, so she is destined to disappoint him.

Xia Xi looked at the gorgeous roses in front of her and symbolically took one out: "The flowers are beautiful. Thank you for liking me, but I'm sorry, I can't accept your confession."

The expression on Su Yuanjia's face faded, and a look of loss emerged.

The look of loss did not stay on his face for long, it disappeared in a few seconds, and he regained his previous energetic appearance.
