In the hotel.

It took Zhou Chu a long time to successfully project his phone screen onto the TV.

It's a very clear and large TV screen, which is indeed very comfortable to watch.

Of course, this was all Gao Qinyi's request. She pulled me directly into the room, then drew the curtains, and specifically asked to watch "Operation Proposal".

However, it must be said that after drawing all the curtains closed, there was indeed a strangely ambiguous atmosphere!

Because of the thick curtains, only the light from the television was visible in the entire room.

The light shone on Gao Qinyi's face, making her appear exceptionally pure and earnest.

"Come sit here." Gao Qinyi patted the seat next to her.

The bed is large enough that two people can sit comfortably.

Zhou Chu hesitated for a moment, but still sat down.

We were just watching a TV series together.

And this is a pure love drama!

I can also draw inspiration from it and experience the love described by others, and understand why it is so naive and innocent.

He felt that his writing style was somewhat similar to that of Japanese romance dramas.

It is fresh and elegant, with a touch of regret.

Don't underestimate that little bit of regret and pity; if it's just pure enjoyment, it has absolutely no artistic value.

The next second, he felt a sudden heaviness in his right shoulder.

It turned out that Gao Qinyi had leaned her head closer.

It landed right on my shoulder.

Because it's a very old TV series, the picture quality isn't that good.

The story begins with a scene depicting the male protagonist's sadness.

After all, the woman he loved was about to get married...

Despite giving it his all, he couldn't hit a home run.

But Li—the female lead—was all smiles, a stark contrast to her mournful face in the original photo.

The first episode was about an hour long, and I didn't even notice how much time had passed before I finished watching it.

Zhou Chu subconsciously looked at the girl next to him, only to find that she was singing the ending theme song.

That's right, it's that song, "Will It Be Sunny Tomorrow?"

Gao Qinyi minored in Japanese, and she was the one who did all the translation when she worked at the Japanese restaurant!

So, was my confession song today a bit too weak compared to the main theme?

Gao Qinyi's voice is very pleasant, although it is not loud.

It was a clear voice with a slightly hoarse tone.

Singing this song evokes a unique sense of sadness.

He couldn't understand it, but he was deeply moved.

"You probably don't know this." After finally finishing the song, Gao Qinyi turned to look at Zhou Chu.

She looked like a little girl and leaned completely on his shoulder: "I've specifically learned this song several times!"

"That's amazing?"

He said that since it's a foreign language, it's impossible to just listen to the words and understand them.

But being able to reach this level also proves that she really likes the song and has worked hard on it.

"Don't you have any other comments?" Gao Qinyi rolled her eyes at him.

The reason she sang so earnestly was so that Zhou Chu would like it, right?

Otherwise, why would she sing so earnestly?

To sing this song, she even held her breath the whole time, afraid that she would break down if she got too excited.

Does he realize how excited he is?

When she first started learning Japanese, she didn't even learn nursery rhymes; the first song she learned was "Will It Be Sunny Tomorrow?"

There were still many words she didn't know, but she managed to look them up and learn them one by one.

And then when it comes to you, all that's left is a vague "So amazing?"

Are you trying to die?

"A heavenly voice." Zhou Chu pondered for a long time before finally uttering these four words.

Of course, they also gave a thumbs up.

"Tacky." Gao Qinyi snatched his phone and switched to the next episode.

But it must be said that she was satisfied with this evaluation.

The plot of the second episode is also not complicated.

It's probably a secret code for the female lead's gift.

What's truly frustrating is that the line of confession left by the male lead was erased, and the female lead never saw it.

"What does this prove?"

This time, before the end credits even played, Gao Qinyi brought up the issue.

His lips were quite angular, and his gaze was equally sharp.

She is completely different from the gentle and cheerful Masami in "Operation Proposal".

Gao Qinyi is much more assertive!

"Proofs of confession cannot be written on the blackboard." Zhou Chu pondered this carefully once more.

This answer may not be perfect, but it is certainly not wrong.

Gao Qinyi was so angry she was furious.

If she hadn't really liked today's confession, she probably would have already knocked Zhou Chu on the head.

Is it really necessary to be so stupid?

You call yourself an author of light romance novels? Is this all you've got?

That's it?

If that's all the comprehension you have, you should probably regress.

Looking into his innocent eyes, Gao Qinyi couldn't help but sigh.

His slightly furrowed brows relaxed a little, and he adopted a "I'm very magnanimous" expression, slowly saying:

"This proves one point: you have to say your feelings to your face."

After thinking for a moment, she added, "And timing isn't as important as you might think. The male lead's indecisiveness and constant attempts to choose the right moment are what caused him to miss out time and time again!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Chu with an extremely expectant gaze.

Now he'll definitely understand!

Unexpectedly, he simply nodded in the end.

"That makes sense."

Gao Qinyi felt like she was about to vomit blood.

She just wanted to get Zhou Chu to confess his feelings.

Why is it so difficult?

Do we really have to make her say it herself?

"Never mind, let's watch the next episode."

And so, through a combination of enticement and education, the two of them watched four episodes in one go.

It was played without any speed adjustment, so it took a full four hours.

If Gao Qinyi and his stomach hadn't started growling, Gao Qinyi probably would have stayed up until tomorrow morning.

"Want to order some takeout?" Zhou Chu slightly lifted the curtains; it was already pitch black outside.

It was past 10 o'clock after all, and the cafeteria would probably have closed long ago.

"Okay." Gao Qinyi nodded, then turned her head to think for a moment before adding, "I want fried chicken and beer."

"Huh?" Zhou Chu wondered if he had misheard.

Although I was mentally prepared for Gao Qinyi's demands.

But I never expected that she would immediately start talking about the essentials for watching TV series.

Then the next day, she was hungover again, and when Shi Qianfei came to see her, the whole house reeked of alcohol.

He could even imagine what Shi Qianfei's expression would be.

"This is a visiting scholar position, you know. Fried chicken is fine, but beer is..."

"What are you saying!" Gao Qinyi kicked her leg and stood up abruptly from the bed. "How can you eat fried chicken without beer! Isn't that a waste?"

"Are you sure you want to drink? Then drink just a little?" Zhou Chu asked tentatively.

"A little bit is fine, but for the two of us... let's start with twenty bottles."
