Wang Tao knew he was afraid he would get stuck on something, so he quickly smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I know, thank you."

He never thought about confessing his feelings, nor did he believe that if he dared to speak up, the girl who was more radiant than the sun would like him.

Therefore, he doesn't believe that just because he likes someone, that person has to like him back.

However, Wang Weimin's words stirred up a little ripple in his heart, which he was trying hard to suppress.

Yes, even though he knows there's a high chance of failure, if he doesn't try and put in the effort, won't he regret it later?

Then, a near-extravagant idea surfaced in his mind.

What if, what if, that moon is willing to shine on him?

When the idea came to him, he shook his head with a self-deprecating laugh.

"What are you thinking? A girl as outstanding and radiant as her needs, I wonder what a perfect boy would be worthy of her."

These were originally just words he was saying to himself, but he didn't expect to blurt them out without realizing it.

Wang Weimin was still standing next to him, watching together as the two figures gradually disappeared at the end of the road.

“What you said makes sense, but there are many things in this world that are unpredictable. Look at your third sister-in-law, who thought we were a good match back then? But I still managed to win her over.”

If you really think she's exceptionally good, then why not cherish her in the future? Why give the opportunity to someone you barely know? What if they're even worse than you?

Wang Weimin's wife, Qin Fang, is a city girl. She is beautiful, comes from a good family, and was Wang Weimin's classmate. She was the kind of girl that many people in the class liked.

Back then, almost no one thought she could be with Wang Weimin, but look what happened! Now they're not only married, but their child is almost old enough to crawl around.

Wang Tao, who had initially had little hope, suddenly brightened up after hearing Wang Weimin's example and secretly decided that he must try his best.

“Brother Weimin, you’re right. I should give it a try. Even if it doesn’t work out, so what? At least I won’t regret it when I look back on it later.”

Wang Weimin was pleased to see that he had truly listened to what he had said:

"That's more like it. We're still young anyway. Even if she doesn't like you, we should be upfront about it as soon as possible, and then we can let it go gradually..."

That night, Wang Weimin and Wang Tao talked a lot, which made him decide to face reality and his own heart.

After spending the night at home preparing, Wang Tao approached Zhu Qinghao the next day when no one was paying attention and Si Tian was home cooking.

"Zhu Zhiqing, I..."

Zhu Qinghao had a fairly good impression of this person, so she looked at him with an inquiring gaze, without any impatience or urging in her eyes.

Looking into those clear, captivating eyes, which were filled with only his own image, Wang Tao suddenly felt afraid.

If his confession is rejected, will he ever have the chance to see those beautiful eyes looking at him so calmly again? Will Zhu Qinghao hate him? Will she avoid him like the plague from now on?

The more Wang Tao thought about it, the more he realized he had acted impulsively.

"What's wrong, Comrade Wang Tao? Is there something you need?"

Wang Tao nervously met her smiling eyes, which held a hint of encouragement. He swallowed hard and kept trying to bolster his own courage.

I can't run away. We've come this far; if I run away, the impression I leave on her will only get worse.
