Chapter 115 Confession Ceremony
On this day, the campus was sunny and breezy, but Su Qing felt a little nervous while reviewing in the library.
During her college days, she gradually found her direction, studied hard, and actively participated in various activities. It seemed that everything was moving in a good direction.
However, Lu Xingchen is about to leave for a while due to work, which makes her feel reluctant and worried.
"Su Qing, hurry up, today is our last gathering before graduation!" Xiang Hui's voice came from outside, interrupting Su Qing's thoughts.
"I'll be there soon!" Su Qing quickly put away her book, but she was thinking about Lu Xingchen. Her relationship with Lu Xingchen had been growing stronger during this period, but the separation in front of her made her feel a little helpless.
The party was held in the school's small garden. The sunshine shone on everyone's face, making it look particularly warm.
Su Qing and her roommates sat together, laughing and talking about their future plans. However, Su Qing's thoughts kept drifting to Lu Xingchen who was about to leave.
"Su Qing, what's wrong with you? You look a little absent-minded today." Xu Tianying noticed her expression and asked with concern.
"I'm thinking about Xingchen... He's leaving, and I'm a little worried." Su Qing said softly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Don't worry, he will be back soon." Xiang Hui comforted her and patted her shoulder, "and your relationship is so good, there will be no problem."
Just as Su Qing was lost in thought, Lu Xingchen came over with a smile on his face. "Hello everyone, I'm here to interrupt your party." He said lightly, with a warm light in his eyes.
"Xingchen, you're here!" Su Qing's mood instantly brightened and a smile broke out on her face.
"I have something to say to you, is that okay?" Lu Xingchen stretched out his hand towards Su Qing, his eyes full of concern.
"Of course." Su Qing nodded and followed him to the bench nearby. The sunlight shone through the leaves on them, warm and soft.
"I know you are worried about my impending departure, but I hope you can understand that this is an important opportunity in my career." Lu Xingchen said seriously, with a firm tone in his voice.
"I know you will do well." Su Qing pursed her lips slightly, trying to keep herself calm, "But... I will miss you."
"I will miss you too." Lu Xingchen held Su Qing's hand, and the warm feeling conveyed each other's feelings. "I will be back as soon as possible. When I come back, we will realize our dreams together, okay?"
"Okay." Su Qing's voice was gentle, full of expectation and reluctance. She felt the firmness and warmth from Lu Xingchen, and the worries in her heart gradually dissipated.
"Perhaps we can use this time to encourage each other and work hard towards our respective goals." Lu Xingchen suggested, "I believe our relationship will become stronger during this time."
"Well, I will try my best." Su Qing nodded with a smile, her heart full of courage.
As night falls, the party atmosphere remains lively.
Everyone sat together and shared their stories and future plans.
Although Su Qing felt a little lost, she knew that she would bravely face the challenges every day in the future.
Jiang Ming has been paying attention to Su Qing silently. He has not given up pursuing her and often appears when she needs help, which makes Su Qing feel troubled. Although she is grateful for Jiang Ming's concern, she only has Lu Xingchen in her heart.
A few days later, Lu Xingchen left, and Su Qing's life became a little empty.
She tried to keep herself busy with classes and review every day, but she couldn't help missing him. She was waiting for Lu Xingchen's letter every moment, looking forward to his news.
But Jiang Ming took action at this time.
With the help of his classmate, the fat boy Chen Liang, he carefully prepared a confession.
They formed a huge flower heart on the playground, with a banner in the center that read "Su Qing, I love you."
Jiang Ming's heart was filled with nervousness and anticipation. Although he knew that Su Qing had Lu Xingchen in her heart, he still decided to confess to her, hoping to win her heart.
It was a sunny afternoon and many students gathered on the playground.
Jiang Ming's heart was beating fast, and he kept repeating to himself, "I must be brave." He announced his plan to everyone. Everyone supported him very much and gathered around the playground, looking forward to what would happen next.
Su Qing and her roommates were preparing to go to the cafeteria. When they passed by the playground, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. She saw a field of colorful flowers shining in the sun, and a banner in the middle read: "Su Qing, I love you." The classmates around her applauded and cheered, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful.
"What's going on?" Su Qing was stunned, feeling a little flustered.
"Go quickly and take a look!" Xiang Hui pushed her, her eyes full of excitement.
Su Qing had no choice but to step forward.
Jiang Ming stood in the middle of the sea of flowers with an expectant smile on his face, as if he had already prepared his confession.
"Su Qing, I know you've always thought of Xingchen in your heart, but I also want you to know that my feelings for you are real." Jiang Ming's voice rang out on the playground, attracting everyone's attention. "I admire you, not only for your intelligence, but also for your tenacity and courage. I hope to have the opportunity to enter your life and pursue dreams with you."
Su Qing felt the gazes around her and felt a little overwhelmed. She understood Jiang Ming's feelings, but she also knew that she couldn't respond casually. Although she was somewhat touched, her heart always belonged to Lu Xingchen.
"Jiang Ming, thank you for your love and support for me." Su Qing tried to calm herself down, her tone gentle but firm, "But... I have someone in my heart now, I hope you can understand."
Jiang Ming's face showed disappointment for a moment, but he quickly recovered his mood and smiled slightly: "I understand, I am just doing what I think is right, at least I said it out loud."
The classmates around began to whisper, some felt sorry for Jiang Ming, while others admired Su Qing's persistence. Su Qing also felt a little reluctant, but she knew that this was a choice she had to make.
"Give me a little more time, and I will try my best to face my feelings." Su Qing finally said, with a firm light in her eyes.
Jiang Ming nodded. Although he felt a little disappointed, he still respected Su Qing's decision. "I will wait for you here, no matter how long it takes." Then, he slowly retreated into the crowd. Although he didn't say anything else, Su Qing could feel his understanding and support.
After the party, Su Qing walked alone on the campus path, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She didn't want to hurt Jiang Ming, but she knew that love couldn't be forced. She wrote a long letter to Lu Xingchen, hoping to receive his reply soon.
She told her in detail about Jiang Ming's confession of love to her, and wrote "Looking forward to your reply as soon as possible" at the end of the letter. Then she waited anxiously for a reply from her lover every day.
Not long after, Su Qing received a reply from Lu Xingchen from the school gate guard. The general meaning of the letter was that he was busy with work, but I had been thinking about her and apologized for not being able to reply in time. He also said that Jiang Ming was taking advantage of his absence and told Su Qing not to be moved and to wait for him to come back.
Su Qing's heart was instantly filled with warmth and sweetness.
