Chapter 37 Confession



Today's incident caused a stir on the campus forum, becoming a hot topic, especially after Liu Qianxue's appearance was revealed.

The forum has already ranked Liu Qianxue third on the list of freshmen campus beauties.

Xu Xiu naturally became a trending topic on the forum. Everyone was very curious about this top scorer, and Wang Mengqi also gossiped about it on the forum.

Then she sent the information she saw to Xiao Ruoyan. When she saw the message from Wang Mengqi, she didn't know whether to feel happy or disappointed.

If Xu Xiu doesn't even like Liu Qianxue, why would he like her?

Just as she was lost in thought, she received a message on her phone. When Xiao Ruoyan opened it, she found that it was sent by Xu Xiu.

"Have you been eating well these past few days, Xiao? If you've lost weight next time we meet, you'd better watch out!"

Despite the threatening tone, Xiao Ruoyan was secretly overjoyed, just as her mood was fluctuating.

Her roommate had already posted her photo on the forum. Du Yuanyuan was very dissatisfied with Liu Qianxue's ranking, because her own Ruoyan was clearly the prettiest.

Everyone loves beauty, especially girls who secretly compare themselves to each other. But after spending these few days with Xiao Ruoyan,

Her roommates were completely captivated by her "silliness," which aroused a strong protective instinct in them.

......

The September sun was as scorching as ever.

Military training began as scheduled. At the mobilization meeting, freshmen representatives took turns to speak. Liu Qianxue and Xiao Ruyan inexplicably took turns to represent their respective departments.

The school leaders made this special arrangement so that the host could ask some other questions later, since they all met the score requirements and had received invitations from Tsinghua and Peking Universities but declined them.

Originally, the Computer Science Department was undoubtedly going to have Xu Xiu speak on stage, but Xu Xiu said that he had already spoken on stage at the opening ceremony.

The opportunity was to be given to someone else, but unexpectedly, Ning Bufan went on stage. Why? Because he was the top scorer's best friend.

Originally, the freshmen's speeches were simply meant to express their expectations and determination for military training and to boost the morale of the freshmen.

However, Liu Qianxue, as the first freshman to speak, had just finished reading from the script and was about to step down when the host asked her another question.

Because she also gave up Tsinghua and Peking University to come to Hangzhou University, "Student Liu, I really want to know why you also gave up Tsinghua and Peking University to come to our Hangzhou University?"

"Our top scorer said it was because he wanted to be close to home..."

The host's words instantly transformed the previously calm and solemn atmosphere into a cheerful one, with laughter frequently erupting from the audience.

This time, the school leaders came up with a unique idea, not wanting the military training to be too serious and put too much pressure on everyone, and also taking into account the precedent set by the last opening ceremony.

School leaders also planned to break with convention and added a Q&A session, hoping to get some different content.

The video and photos of the opening ceremony have been produced and posted on the school website, and they became a trending topic on social media that same day.

The principal was quite troubled because his old friends from Tsinghua and Peking Universities kept calling to inquire about his well-being.

Liu Qianxue glanced at the audience, but because everyone was wearing military training uniforms, it was difficult to find anyone among them.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up the microphone and slowly said, "I came to Hangzhou University because he came to Hangzhou University."

The host looked surprised, then tentatively asked, "Liu, the 'he' you're talking about, isn't it Xu Xiu?"

Upon hearing the host's words, the audience stirred immediately. The instructors coughed, and the audience fell silent instantly.

"Yes, he is my childhood sweetheart."

Liu Qianxue looked at the audience with a determined gaze.

"This..." The host didn't know what to say; the news was too explosive.

Unable to ask any more questions, Liu Qianxue was asked to step down from the stage first, and then representatives from other departments took turns to speak.

But most of the boys in the audience had their hearts shattered into pieces when Liu Qianxue stepped off the stage.

After several rounds, it was Xiao Ruoyan's turn to go on stage. She was very nervous. She was nervous even when speaking in front of a lot of people, let alone on this stage where everyone was watching.

Before going on stage, Xu Xiu sent her several encouraging messages, which calmed her down a lot.

However, her heart was a little sore. The reason for the pain was Liu Qianxue's confession. She would not confess, and she felt that she was not qualified to confess.

The way the two of them are getting along now is something she never dared to imagine before, so she is very content. But contentment doesn't stop her heart from aching.

After nervously reading the script on stage, I was just about to leave when the host called me back.

Because she also did not choose to go to Tsinghua or Peking University, the host asked her the same question.

When Xiao Ruoyan spoke, the boys in the audience felt as if they had discovered a treasure, and their shattered hearts started beating again.

Upon hearing the host's question, Xiao Ruoyan answered honestly without hesitation, "Because it's close to home..."

host\"......\"

The students in the audience were also stunned and began to discuss among themselves. What was going on? Was Tsinghua and Peking University not as good as being close to home?

After Xiao Ruoyan finished speaking, she handed the topic to the host and ran off quickly. Being watched by so many classmates had reached her psychological limit.

When Ning Bufan finished speaking, the host stopped him and asked, "Ning, you and Xu Xiu were high school classmates, right?"

"Yes."

"Do you know the real reason why Xu Xiu came to Hangzhou University?"

The host, not wanting to miss out on the fun, continued to ask questions.

"Oh, I don't know."

"I don't know why he came to Hangzhou University, but I was able to come to Hangzhou University because of him."

"So I'll consider him my brother for life."

Hearing Ning Bufan speak so seriously, the students below the stage started to discuss among themselves again.

The host, still looking puzzled, continued to ask, "Why did you say that you came to Hangzhou University because of him?"

"Without the tutoring and help in the months before the college entrance examination, I definitely wouldn't have been able to get into Hangzhou University. And it wasn't just me; Liu Qianxue, Xiao Ruoyan, and another classmate also did."

"Without his help, we probably wouldn't have had a chance at Tsinghua, Peking University, or Hangzhou University."

The host, unaware that Liu Qianxue and Xiao Ruoyan were also Xu Xiu's classmates, kept changing his expression, while the students in the audience seemed to have discovered some big news.

Thinking back to Xiao Ruoyan's words, and the same excuse used by the top scholar—"It's close to home?"—I don't believe you for a second!

Xu Xiu, who was sitting in the audience, was initially moved by Ning Bufan's earlier words, but was speechless by what Ning Bufan said later.

You should just talk about yourself; why bring them into it?

Pang Wenjun and Xiao Xu had already secretly given Xu Xiu a thumbs up.

The school leaders were overjoyed to hear this. It turned out that these two students had come to Hangzhou University because of Xu Xiu. No wonder those two old men from Tsinghua and Peking University were so angry.

Oh, it even comes with a free package.

After the military training mobilization meeting ended, the formal military training began. After the first day of training, discussions about Xu Xiu had already started on the campus forum.

Then, an insider revealed that Xu Xiu confessed his feelings to Liu Qianxue in high school, but was rejected. The insider also said that Xu Xiu had liked Liu Qianxue since junior high school.

This news caused a huge stir on the forum. No one expected that the two of them had so many stories, but now it seems that Liu Qianxue took the initiative to confess.

As a result, a third-year student left a comment on the post.

"Late-blooming affection is cheaper than grass. No one can hide their feelings perfectly. Perhaps you saw through my clumsy act all along, yet you let me direct and act it all by myself, making me look as awkward as a clown and as humble as dust."

As a result, this reply received countless likes, each like representing the awakening of a sycophant.
