Chapter 90 Golden Hook Fishing - Four Kinds of Seeds
Ayu continued eating, not taking the matter to heart at all: "Let him be. This kind of person probably just likes to show off in front of others and randomly picks a girl to use as a target. The more he jumps around, the more indifferent I should be. Besides, I don't even know him, let alone like him. There are plenty of people who like me. I have plenty of friends. I don't mind having one more."
Bo hesitated, "Although what you said makes sense, I still feel that this matter isn't so simple..."
Ah Yu: "Why?"
Bo asked, "This matter has blown up too much, and it's having a bad influence. Besides, that guy is quite influential, and I'm worried he might target you. What if he really confesses his feelings to you tonight?"
Xu Zhiyu said matter-of-factly, "Just refuse."
"Does he like me, so I have to have something happen between us?"
Ma Bo asked, "Well... okay. I'll invite a few more friends over, that should be fine, right?"
Ah Yu was engrossed in her meal, thoroughly enjoying it. To her, the whole affair was a farce, and she didn't want it to affect her mood.
She mumbled, "Don't worry, nothing could happen."
.
After evening self-study, she came to the playground as agreed.
Unexpectedly, the playground was already packed with people. Upon seeing her and her friends arrive, everyone naturally dispersed a bit.
Feeling her ears getting hot from being stared at by so many people, she was surprised by the increasingly exaggerated scene as she went further in. Didn't any teachers stop such a big commotion?
Following the path paved with scented candles, you reach a spot where a cluster of red roses surrounds a boy playing guitar. Behind him, two boys hold up a banner that reads, "Xu Zhiyu, Lu Yang likes you."
The two stood facing each other about two meters apart. Lu Yang played and sang passionately in the center of the roses. Petals seemed to drift down from somewhere in the sky, and the surrounding audience cheered and screamed...
This was the first time Xu Zhiyu had seen the true face of Lu Yang, the hoodlum everyone was talking about.
Looking at this ridiculous scene before her, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.
She was filled with regret. Honestly, if she had known it would turn out like this, she shouldn't have even come!
Ah Yu hesitated, standing awkwardly in place, unsure of what to do with her hands.
Lu Yang, dressed in an awkward formal suit, saw that she was not moving forward, so he played and sang until he reached her and started singing and singing until he finished the whole song.
At that time, she suspected that this guy simply liked to sing and wanted to show off his singing voice, but he was actually using it as an excuse to confess his feelings!
After singing the last line, Lu Yang suddenly knelt down on one knee, took out a rose from his pocket, looked at her and said, "Would you be my girlfriend?"
Xu Zhiyu stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
She looked around, searching for her friends in the crowd, and found Bowen raising his eyebrows with a look of disgust, while the other friends standing with her were already laughing so hard they were doubled over.
Xu Zhiyu scratched her head. Fortunately, growing up in Huainan Lane made her unafraid of strangers. Although this kind of public display was a bit embarrassing, she could still deal with it normally.
"Um..." she racked her brains, "Well... actually... right now, um, we're still high school students, so... you've worked hard to prepare this whole setup for today..."
Lu Yang: "..."
"So? You agreed?" His eyes lit up with joy.
Xu Zhiyu: "I'm sorry, I'm focused on my studies right now and have no interest in dating. I apologize for spoiling the mood, but you should..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Yang's smile froze.
The brothers who had originally planned to cheer him on didn't understand the situation at all. As soon as the two finished speaking, they seized the opportunity to start chanting, "Get together! Get together! Get together!"
"Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!"
This commotion only made things worse for the two of them. With so many people watching, Lu Yang was losing face and was already furious inside, but in front of everyone, he could only try to win them back one more time.
"Dating won't affect your studies. Think it over again. You should know how long I've liked you, right? I specially prepared these things for you today. If you really didn't have feelings for me, you wouldn't have come here today, would you? Besides, you don't understand me yet. Once we're together, you'll definitely fall in love with me."
If she had felt a little guilty for refusing Lu Yang before, after hearing his words, she felt no remorse at all.
"I've thought about it," A-Yu said firmly. "I'm here today because this whole thing has blown up so much lately, affecting me and a lot of classmates. This kind of thing isn't allowed right now. I suggest you focus on your studies, attend classes properly, and don't do anything that breaks the rules!"
She then added, "I really don't accept this and I really won't talk about it! I came here today to make this clear to you. I can't stop you from liking me, but I hope your feelings won't disturb my life. If you can listen to me, I will be very grateful!"
After saying that, ignoring Lu Yang's ugly expression, she found Bo Wen's gaze in the crowd, and the two of them joined hands and left as if fleeing.
The students who had been watching the show finally understood what was going on. Some covered their mouths and laughed at Lu Yang, while others whispered among themselves.
Lu Yang, a troublemaker who often tarnishes the school's reputation, is generally disliked. However, he is powerful and comes from a wealthy family. Although people dislike him, they still fawn over him on the surface. Since they rarely see him in such an embarrassing situation, they naturally seize the opportunity to mock him!
The voices of those boys and girls were so jarring at that moment.
"That's the kind of person who thinks they're doomed, and that whoever they like has to be with them. Why should they?"
"Exactly! I love Xu Zhiyu's courage to refuse. Why make such a big show of confessing his feelings and making things difficult for others? Just because you like me doesn't mean I can't refuse you! Pah! One-sided love is one-sided love. Now look what happened! He thought the whole world should revolve around him. He's just slapping himself in the face."
"Haha, yeah, he's so cocky at the school gate every day after school, always bullying female classmates. It's so satisfying to see him like that! If I were Xu Zhiyu, I'd be gentle even talking to him like that. He's always spreading rumors and bothering people. I would have slapped him as soon as I saw him!"
