Meanwhile.
After receiving the address from Muhe, Yu Ting left her dormitory hastily, rushing out and in.
The weather forecast predicted heavy snow for today.
As she headed for the entrance of the girls’ dormitory, she passed by many female students who had just finished class and were returning to their dorms. They chatted in small groups, laughing about some school gossip.
"Hey, did you see that? A guy was standing outside with a bunch of roses."
"I saw, oh my, how could I miss it? There are at least dozens of roses, did he buy 99 of them?"
"Who knows? Seems like it, there were so many flowers in his arms."
...
A guy with roses?
Yu Ting inadvertently overheard some key words and her eyebrows slightly knitted together.
What era is this, people still do this kind of thing?
She figured it had nothing to do with her, so she didn’t think about it too much and continued walking outside.
Muhe said they were meeting outside the girls’ dorm.
She wondered what was so urgent.
Yu Ting was dressed in thick clothing with double-breasted buttons done snugly up and the collar so high that if she lowered her head, her chin could bury itself in the collar, and her slender legs were exposed.
The further out Yu Ting walked, the stronger her sense of unease.
There were more onlookers the further out she walked.
Upon reaching her destination, she saw a man in the center of the crowd, holding 99 brightly colored roses, his face smiling warmly.
He dressed formally and looked pretty decent, about 5’9" tall.
Upon seeing Yu Ting, the man greeted her warmly, "Yu Ting, you’re here."
The crowd of onlookers voluntarily formed two lines on either side of the man, creating a path in the middle.
Yu Ting: ?
"I’m Muhe, a junior from civil engineering. I mentioned on QQ that there’s something we need to discuss. But I thought this would be more ceremonial." The man ruffled his hair with his free hand and started to explain.
"I’ve known you since your freshman year’s military training. Back then, you were playful, bright, and cheerful. Now that you’re a sophomore, you’ve become more reserved, more charming. But I want to say, I like you in every way, your lively spirit, your bravery..."
"All this time, I never had the opportunity to say this. In your freshman year, you liked Shen Sheng of the Art Communication Institute. In the second half of this year, you had a crush on Mr. Lu too. Now everything’s changed. I’ve not heard about you liking anyone now. I think this is an opportunity from Heaven."
"Yu Ting, I don’t care about those rumors, your past, I knew that nobody is perfect, everyone does foolish things when they are young, I don’t care about all these."
"The New Year is on the horizon, I hope to celebrate it with you, and I hope to spend every New Year’s Eve with you thereafter."
"So, Yu Ting, would you like to be my girlfriend?"
The man said a lot and handed the bouquet of roses towards Yu Ting. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Before Yu Ting could react, the crowd erupted in excitement. Some people admired her, others said that she was damn lucky.
The method may be clichéd, but it sticks.
There are still many people who are envious.
Then the catcalling began.
"Go for it."
"Go for it."
"Yu Ting, say yes to him. Such a good guy."
The noise level rose, attracting more onlookers.
"No."
