Shi Jing may not be that sensitive, but at least he shouldn't have been watched for so long without realizing it.
Her gaze shifted slightly and met Rong Yu's focused eyes.
Rong Yu's gaze was focused, carrying a hint of affection that was hard to conceal.
She's never really been very interested in dating. But this injury probably made her unusually vulnerable.
For a moment, she was indeed tempted.
In the hospital room, seeing Jian Rong and Tao Yue with their families and loved ones by their side, she felt truly envious.
When she saw Rong Yu rushing over, she admitted that she was moved at that moment.
At this moment, looking into Rong Yu's focused eyes, she suddenly felt that same flutter of the heart again.
Perhaps she should be braver, take that step, and give it a try.
She is no longer the vulnerable orphan she once was. Even if she were to encounter the wrong person, she is confident that she can protect herself.
Of course, after knowing him for so many years, she felt she couldn't possibly have misjudged Rongyu.
Having made the decision, Shi Jing didn't procrastinate any longer and got straight to the point.
"Rong Yu, do you like me?"
“Uh…” Rong Yu was taken aback by Shi Jing’s direct question and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Shi Jing asked again.
She didn't think her feelings were wrong, but since they were going to be in a relationship, she still needed to make sure first.
“That’s right.” Rong Yu hurriedly said, a rare blush rising on his fair face, making him look exceptionally handsome.
Shi Jing, who was already somewhat attracted to Rong Yu's looks, was inevitably tempted again.
Rongyu had not originally planned to express her feelings so soon.
He knew that he and Shi Jing were too different. As friends, he didn't need to care so much, but if he wanted to be together, he had to think more about it.
But at this moment, Shi Jing has already chosen to point it out. If he continues to back down, there may really be no future for him.
He had a lot on his mind, and he tried his best to remain calm, but a blush still quietly betrayed his thoughts.
He looked at Shi Jing with seriousness and said clearly, "Shi Jing, I like you very much. I'm not that outstanding right now, but I will continue to work hard. My supervisor has approved my graduation thesis, and I will soon graduate with my doctorate. The research institute has also assessed my promotion qualifications, and if nothing unexpected happens, I will become an associate researcher next year."
He was a little nervous, and his conversation drifted into his career plans. Of course, he quickly realized this and changed the subject, returning to the main point: "I never thought I'd meet someone who would make my heart flutter, but after meeting you, I realized it's nice to have someone to care about in life. Thinking of you occasionally when I'm busy makes me happy. I don't know if this is greedy, but I want to keep this happiness and try my best to make you happy too. If possible, would you give me a chance?"
His eyelids were slightly moist from nervousness. Yet his eyes shone exceptionally brightly, as if they could reflect all the beauty in the world.
Faced with such a handsome face, Shi Jing couldn't help but swallow hard.
It would be hard for anyone to refuse that.
She coughed lightly before replying, "I think I also have some feelings for you. But I'm not sure how deep those feelings are. If you don't mind, how about we give it a try?"
Rong Yu subconsciously touched his face, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's give it a try."
With the opportunity presented to him, Rongyu could not possibly give it up.
Rong Yu is a handsome guy. He knows this perfectly well.
Over the years, he had spent time with Shi Jing and was well aware of the allure of his face in Shi Jing's eyes.
He was quite relieved that he still had to rely on this face that Shi Jing liked when he confessed his feelings.
The opportunity has arrived; whether he can seize it depends on himself. And he will not give up easily.
Shi Jing extended her hand, smiling broadly: "Then, please take good care of me from now on, my boyfriend."
Upon being addressed in this way, Rong Yu's smile instantly spread throughout his body.
He reached out and gently took her hand: "Okay, girlfriend."
The two were still reading their books, but the atmosphere in the room had subtly changed.
When Jian Rong and Tao Yue returned in the afternoon, they couldn't help but feel confused when they saw the increasingly intimate relationship between the two.
"What happened during the afternoon you didn't see me?" Jian Rong asked bluntly.
Tao Yue didn't speak, but she kept glancing at Shi Jing and then at Rong Yu.
Having had previous romantic experiences, Tian clearly noticed a change in the dynamics between the two.
Shi Jing smiled and didn't hide anything: "It's nothing, I just got out of being single."
"Oh, you're no longer single... What?!" Jian Rong was stunned. "No longer single? With whom?"
Before Shi Jing could even speak, Tao Yue already wore an expression of unbearable disapproval.
Is this kid stupid? The situation is so obvious, is it even necessary to ask who he's with?
Shi Jing pointed to Rong Yu beside her and said with a smile, "Come on, let me introduce you all. This is my boyfriend, Rong Yu."
“,,,,,,”
Jian Rong looked at Shi Jing and then at Rong Yu, still unable to recover from the shock.
Isn't Rong Yu Shi Jing's good friend? How come her identity has suddenly changed?!
