"He's coming, he's coming!"
"The leading lady has arrived!!"
Right as Su Yuqing was quietly reflecting, a wave of commotion swept through the crowd.
Right after that, she felt countless gazes converging on her from all directions.
"Damn it! Soone's going to confess to Yuqing!"
Tao Ying was the first to react, unable to hold back and blurted out a swear word.
"It's Xu Xiaopeng!"
"He really has been eyeing Yuqing all along!"
Han Xiaoru had already spotted the troublemaker, Jiangcheng Academy of Fine Arts Student Council President, Xu Xiaopeng.
This year he's a junior, an influential figure at Jiangcheng Academy of Fine Arts, pretty good-looking but coming from a well-off family. Before Du Chen left school, he was always seen with Du Chen, both of them belonging to the sa circle of wealthy second-generation kids.
Now Xu Xiaopeng is beneath the girls' dorm, using candles to lay out a huge heart shape and the numbers 520!
Actually, today is the 519th, and tomorrow is the 520th!
Xu Xiaopeng's intention was obvious; if his confession succeeded today, he could spend the 520th together with Su Yuqing.
Upon seeing Su Yuqing walking over, Xu Xiaopeng, who was dressed in a white suit for the occasion, imdiately picked up the guitar handed to him by a friend, and began to sing and play the once-trending online song "All the Beauty of the World Stems from You."
Xu Xiaopeng does have so talent in singing. Though he can't compare to professional singers, he stands out in the amateur group, and he had even participated in so music talent shows before!
As he sang, he walked towards Su Yuqing.
His band of followers began to goad as planned!
"Together!"
"Together!"
"Sister-in-law, stop struggling!"
"Get together today, celebrate 520 tomorrow!!"
"..."
Encouraged by the entourage, many onlookers also joined in the chanting.
College students are never short of energy; of course, they're happy to join in the fun!
Plus, both parties involved are campus celebrities—one the president of the Student Council, the other a campus beauty.
The noise around them grew louder and louder, the cheering drowning out Xu Xiaopeng's singing. He simply stopped singing, tossed aside the guitar, and walked with a resolute stride toward Su Yuqing.
Seeing this, his entourage imdiately quieted down, and the onlookers who were cheering followed suit.
Everyone knew the main event was about to start!
Xu Xiaopeng was surely about to start his confession!
And sure enough, he cleared his throat and said with deep emotion, "Yuqing, from the mont I first saw you, I knew I couldn't escape, you are the one who can spend the rest of my life with ..."
Bleh!!
Xu Xiaopeng hadn't finished his cheesy confession when Tao Ying, standing next to Su Yuqing, couldn't help vomiting a little; she didn't an to, but those words were just too nauseating to listen to.
What does "I knew I couldn't escape" even an!
If this was in a drama, it might be passable to listen to, but in real life, it's just hair-raising!
It wasn't just Tao Ying who felt this way; many of the onlookers shivered at the words.
So cold, shivers!!
The man of the hour, Xu Xiaopeng, glanced at Tao Ying with dissatisfaction but didn't let it break his rhythm and continued, "Yuqing, I like you, be my girlfriend!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an underling handed Xu Xiaopeng a shopping bag.
He then offered the bag to Su Yuqing, "Yuqing, accept my love!"
"Damn!"
"Hermès!"
"Confessing with a Hermès, Peng is aweso!"
As soon as Xu Xiaopeng made the move to give a gift, the followers started shouting.
This had all been planned beforehand; first, Xu Xiaopeng feared that Su Yuqing might not recognize Hermès, and second, it was to show off, of course!
"I accompanied Peng to buy that gift; it cost over fifty thousand!"
Soone shouted out the price of the gift directly.
"Damn, over fifty thousand??"
"If soone gave a gift worth over fifty thousand, I would definitely say yes!"
"Peng is way too extravagant! He gives such expensive gifts for a confession!"
"With Peng's Hermès, how are we supposed to confess from now on!"
"..."
The atmosphere team was chattering back and forth, naturally to highlight Xu Xiaopeng's impressive display.
The onlookers easily caught the vibe.
After all, Hermès was sothing way beyond the reach of these college students; they had only heard of it.
Just hearing the brand and price was enough to leave them utterly shocked!
If it had been before today, upon seeing Xu Xiaopeng with a Hermès bag for a confession, Su Yuqing wouldn't have agreed, but she definitely would have been surprised, because the gift was so expensive!
All girls have a bit of vanity, Su Yuqing was no exception. Even if she wouldn't accept Xu Xiaopeng's Hermès, she would have felt so ripples inside.
However, after a whole day of shopping, Su Yuqing looked at the Hermès shopping bag Xu Xiaopeng was handing over and really felt nothing at all!
Hermès is pricey!
But how many had Yang given her again??
Right, she couldn't even rember the count!
Tao Ying, on the side, subconsciously pursed her lips. If it had been before today, she might have been a little shocked as well.
But now, the Hermès shopping bag that Xu Xiaopeng was holding didn't seem so impressive in her eyes!
A confession gift?
The Hermès bags Yang had given her, a "random person," were almost two hundred thousand!
You co out with a gift worth just over fifty thousand and make such a grand show of it, how pointless.
"Yuqing, be my girlfriend."
"After you graduate from college, we'll get married!"
Seeing Su Yuqing not respond, Xu Xiaopeng pushed the Hermès shopping bag forward again.
"Agree to him!"
Find more adventures on empire
"Agree to him!"
"Together! Together!!"
The lackeys started to stir up the atmosphere again, yelling at the top of their lungs.
"I'm sorry!"
"I don't want to be in a relationship yet!"
Against the noisy backdrop, Su Yuqing responded coldly.
When the female lead spoke, the lackeys imdiately stopped.
"What did she say?"
"Rejected?"
"She actually rejected??"
The crowd stirred; everyone had thought it would be a perfect ending.
One was the student council president, the other a campus belle.
It was like a campus idol drama.
But the female lead had actually rejected the proposal?
This script was all wrong; had there been a mix-up?
Xu Xiaopeng furrowed his brows, having made such a big show today, he thought he had it in the bag!
But Su Yuqing still rejected him, and so decisively.
"Yuqing, I am sincere; trust , I will make you happy!"
Not wanting to lose face in public, Xu Xiaopeng pushed the shopping bag into Su Yuqing's hands as he spoke, "Yuqing, this gift represents my heartfelt intention, and it's the first Hermès I bought for you!"
"I promise there will be countless more Hermès in the future!"
Xu Xiaopeng's intent was clear; he wanted to show Su Yuqing he was wealthy enough to afford Hermès without a second thought.
"Peng, don't bother!"
"Yuqing has already rejected you; why are you still clinging on!"
As everyone waited for Su Yuqing's reply, Du Chen walked up from behind.
"Brother Chen?"
"Senior Du?"
"I heard Senior Du is also pursuing Su Yuqing!"
"Is this a confrontation between rivals?"
"Not really rivals, though, as I recall Xu Xiaopeng and Du Chen have a pretty good relationship!"
The sudden appearance of Du Chen imdiately brought a dramatic twist to the story as the crowd craned their necks with anticipation. This real-life drama was far more entertaining than any lodramatic idol dramas!
