Chapter 53
Jiang Nanyu was visibly nervous when facing Zhou Jingyu. He prepared himself mentally before he had the courage to speak: "Zhou Jingyu, I'm not a very talkative person, but I still have something to say."
Zhou Jingyu smiled gently and did not interrupt.
Jiang Nanyu continued, "The most memorable moment I just mentioned, besides the reason I mentioned, there is another more important reason, and that is you."
[Yes, that’s what I said!]
[Yes, yes, it was Zhou Jingyu who took the initiative to ask to listen that day.]
[Jiang Nanyu's thoughts really shouldn't be so obvious.]
Although Jiang Nanyu can be a little unpleasant at times, his feelings for Zhou Jingyu are truly undeniable.
[Yes, whenever he can choose, Jiang Nanyu always chooses Zhou Jingyu.]
…
Jiang Nanyu said that he couldn't speak, but he made a long confession very honestly. From the first day he arrived at the villa, when Zhou Jingyu came to his rescue, to everything that happened afterwards, he knew all the small details that others would not care about, and even Yin Mu was touched.
Zhou Jingyu listened to him politely with a faint smile on her face throughout the whole process.
Finally, Jiang Nanyu said, "I know that a short time together is not enough to decide anything, but I hope you can give me a chance so that we can continue to get to know each other better. Are you willing to give me this opportunity?"
Meng Meng took over the conversation. "Okay, that's a very serious confession, full of sincerity. —Zhou Jingyu, what are your thoughts now? Please respond to Jiang Nanyu."
Zhou Jingyu bowed slightly to Jiang Nanyu before speaking, "First of all, I want to thank you. You've always taken care of me and helped me in the villa these days. You're also always there for me when we go out on dates because you're afraid I'll be lonely. Thanks to you, I've had a very happy time these days."
She paused here. Generally speaking, she would probably say "but" next.
Sure enough, Zhou Jingyu continued, "But, maybe, as you said, ten days is too short. If I make a decision right now, it would be irresponsible not only to myself but also to you. So, I think it's better for us to start by being friends. That way, we can get along more easily, right?"
This is almost equivalent to a rejection.
Yin Mu shook his head slightly, thinking, Zhou Jingyu and Jiang Nanyu were the most likely couple, but in the end it didn't work out. It looks like they all have no hope today. I wonder if the netizens who were originally looking forward to today will explode with anger.
"I'm sorry, Jiang Nanyu, your confession failed." Meng Meng sighed regretfully, "Are you disappointed?"
Jiang Nanyu smiled and said, "Well, I thought this would be the result, and I've already prepared myself mentally."
"Okay, then please go back to your seats first," Meng Meng said. Seeing them start to leave, he hurriedly called out to them, "Hey, hey, hey, are you really leaving just like that? It's just that your confession didn't go through, but we won't become enemies. Just give them a friendly hug."
After Meng Meng said this, the originally heavy atmosphere became a little lighter. Zhou Jingyu and Jiang Nanyu smiled at each other and gave each other a hug like friends.
【Ah... failed? 】
[They say we can take our time as friends, but that means we can never be boyfriends.]
[So true, sister in front.]
But to be honest, if I didn't feel anything at first sight, it's hard to develop feelings no matter how long we spend together.
[Even so, I'm still very disappointed, and it's a very bad start.]
…
According to the order, it was Zhang Yang's turn to confess his feelings. When asked if he wanted to confess, he hesitated for a long time before standing up: "I'll say it here."
"Huh?" Meng Meng raised an eyebrow in surprise. "So, you're giving up on confessing?"
"Hmm...or rather, I've already seen the result of the confession."
Meng Meng understood: "I see. Okay, I respect your opinion. - So, do you have anything else to say to everyone? You can say it to anyone."
Zhang Yang scratched his head, looking quite innocent. "There's nothing special to say. I hope we can keep in touch. We can hang out when we're free."
"Yeah, we've been together day and night for so many days, not to mention you guys, even I can't bear to leave." Meng Meng joked, "Remember to call me when you go out to play."
"Of course, of course."
"Since Zhang Yang won't confess, then it's the next one." Meng Meng looked at Chen Qinglin, "Chen Qinglin?"
Chen Qinglin stood up calmly: "Yes."
Yin Mu watched him walk to the podium, swallowed unconsciously, and clasped his hands tightly together.
Zhong Mengyuan turned his head to look at her and sighed almost inaudibly.
Seeing Chen Qinglin's serious expression, Meng Meng tried to lighten the mood and jokingly said, "Let me guess, is the person you're confessing to—" She glanced at the four girls and asked with a smile, "Yin Mu?"
The end of her voice was raised high, Zheng Wei and Zhou Jingyu both laughed and looked at Yin Mu together.
【Hahahaha, is Meng Meng also taking it?】
[She couldn't help but smile like an auntie.]
[You two must not let me down again! ]
[Please, Yin Mu, just think of it as my sake. (crying)]
[The expressions of the two people next to me are just like mine.]
…
Yin Mu really wanted to laugh, so he pulled the corners of his mouth and forced an unnatural smile.
Chen Qinglin was quite frank and nodded: "Yes."
The smile on Meng Meng's face deepened: "Yin Mu, please."
It can be seen that she also hopes that Chen Qinglin and Yin Mu can succeed in holding hands.
Yin Mu swallowed and walked slowly to Chen Qinglin. His eyes stayed on his face for only two seconds before quickly moving away.
"Yin Mu."
Yin Mu didn't know what he would say, feeling uneasy, he replied in a low voice: "Yeah."
"Actually, I've been hesitating whether or not to confess. After all, we haven't known each other for long, and it would be presumptuous and frivolous to say these words rashly. But then I thought, if we leave this show, we won't have any contact anymore, and we might miss each other. That would make me very sad, so..." Chen Qinglin lowered his eyes as he spoke these words. At this point, he raised his eyes and looked at Yin Mu, "Yin Mu, can we give it a try?"
Yin Mu's heart skipped a beat, and she blinked in disbelief. She'd thought he'd give her some leeway, like Jiang Nanyu had, by saying something about starting as friends. She was just thinking about her answer, but she hadn't expected him to say it so directly.
Lu Zilin whistled to cheer him on, and Zheng Wei clapped along, "Together!"
Yin Mu's mind was in a mess for a moment, and he looked up at Chen Qinglin.
Chen Qinglin seemed extremely nervous, his lips tightly pressed into a line, like someone awaiting trial.
Seeing Yin Mu was still silent, Meng Meng reminded her: "Yin Mu, please give your own answer after you have thought it through."
Yin Mu calmed down and nodded to Meng Meng: "Yeah."
No matter what, she really didn't want to hurt Chen Qinglin.
Yin Mu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but still didn't dare look directly at Chen Qinglin. He bowed slightly, his eyes fell on his shirt collar, and said, "I'm sorry."
Her voice was very soft, but extremely clear, and everyone present could hear it clearly.
Zheng Wei's cheerful voice came to an abrupt end.
[Ah? Ahhh?]
[No!! Why do you have to do this! ]
【Yin Mu, you are so cruel! 】
[If you put yourself in Chen Qinglin's shoes, you'll really have a heart attack.]
[I was stunned. Did I hear it wrong?]
…
Chen Qinglin was silent for a long time. Perhaps he had run out of courage and did not dare to ask her why she refused. He pretended to be calm and said, "Well, I understand. It's okay."
Yin Mu bit his lip and finally looked at Chen Qinglin.
Chen Qinglin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of relief, and said, "It's okay. I've said it before, whatever you choose is your freedom."
Yin Mu felt very uncomfortable and did not respond.
Meng Meng quickly tried to smooth things over: "Love is a matter of mutual consent. If it's not meant to be, there's nothing we can do about it. But it doesn't matter. If we can't be lovers, we can still be friends."
Yin Mu returned to his seat dejectedly, his mood reaching its lowest point.
The last one to confess was Lu Zilin, but Yin Mu no longer had the heart to listen to what he had to say. She absentmindedly fiddled with the folds of her skirt, just wanting to leave this place quickly.
It was not until Lu Zilin mentioned Zhong Mengyuan's name that Yin Mu finally cheered up, temporarily detached himself from his emotions, and paid attention to Zhong Mengyuan's condition.
In fact, Lu Zilin’s words were not a confession. He just said that he felt that he and Zhong Mengyuan had similar interests and hoped to go out together more often in the future when they had time.
"Of course, we'll invite other friends too," Lu Zilin said. "I wonder if you can give me this favor, considering our friendship these days?"
Zhong Mengyuan agreed readily: "That's great. Making more friends never hurts, right?"
Lu Zilin smiled: "You are right."
Although the program team had made a contingency plan in advance, even Meng Meng could not hide her regret when faced with the current result.
However, the necessary procedures still had to be followed. She quickly adjusted herself and said, "Okay, this is the end of the male guest's confession. Unfortunately, all of them were wiped out."
I'm numb, really.
[Wow, a dating show can have such a completely BE ending.]
[Wow, who can watch this and not say that we, the audience of "Summer Sonata", are blessed?]
I'll recommend this to my friends tomorrow, and don't even think about it. (Smile)
[Calm down, calm down. There are still female guests. It's too early to say that everyone is BE.]
…
"But we female guests still have a chance. If you have someone you like, you should seize the opportunity and speak up!"
Yin Mu lowered his head and said nothing.
Meng Meng waited for a long time, giving them enough time to think. He saw that they either shook their heads or kept silent. Just as he was about to make a final summary, a loud thunder was heard in the sky.
Everyone was startled, including Meng Meng, who looked up at the sky. "Huh? Is it going to rain?"
Lu Zilin said, "The weather is so sunny, it can't be, maybe it's raining in the distance."
"Maybe." Meng Meng nodded and continued, "Time flies. It seems like we were just gathered here yesterday, and today we are going our separate ways. Before we leave, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone on behalf of the program team. Thank you to every guest for taking the program seriously. We—"
When she got to this point, Zhou Jingyu suddenly raised her hand and interrupted her: "Wait, I have something else to say."
Meng Meng looked at her in surprise. "Are you going to confess your feelings? Or do you have any parting words for everyone?"
Zhou Jingyu smiled: "Confession."
