Chapter 116 Grand Confession 2
The moment Gao Zhe called out "Ye Yixian's" name, the entire audience erupted in uproar, followed by a frenzied frenzy.
Everyone's eyes were frantically searching, trying to spot the heroine of the night in the vast sea of people.
Ye Yixian, who was singled out, seemed to fall into a dreamlike daze after experiencing extreme tension.
When a person's desire for something reaches its peak, their mind is often blank when happiness truly arrives.
At this moment, Ye Yixian could not believe it was real. She was still gripping the railing tightly, her face blank, as if her soul was still stuck in the previous second.
"Ichigen! It's you! Hurry up!"
"Ye Yixian, stop daydreaming and get down here!"
"Wake up! Lu Yuan is calling you!"
The surrounding classmates began to urge them on frantically, their voices rising and falling.
Ye Yixian suddenly realized what was happening, and overwhelmed with joy, she jumped and danced with excitement: "It's me! It's me! Lu Yuan is looking for me!"
As she spoke, she was about to rush downstairs.
She desperately tried to squeeze through the crowded people and blindly rushed towards the stairwell on the east side.
"Yixian, this way! This way the stairs are closer!" Wang Qingyu and the others reacted quickly, grabbing her and pulling her back.
Ye Yixian was so excited at this moment that he completely lost his ability to think, and only had one thought in his mind: get to Lu Yuan as soon as possible.
So she turned around and stumbled towards the west staircase.
Students along the way spontaneously made way and cheered, as if they were a welcoming party for the heroine's arrival.
Ye Yixian dashed down the corridor and down the stairs at the fastest speed he had ever seen.
She had no idea how many floors she had climbed; she only felt that the road was much longer than she had imagined.
Even though she was so fast that even Wang Qingyu and the others couldn't keep up, she still felt it was too slow. She was afraid that if she was even a second later, the five-minute deadline would be up, and she would miss Lu Yuan's carefully prepared confession.
On the way, several classmates who couldn't dodge in time were knocked to the ground. She could only run while looking back, repeatedly apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Lu Yuan... Lu Yuan is waiting for me."
The student who was bumped into wasn't angry at all; instead, he waved excitedly and urged, "Don't apologize, go on!"
"Th-thank you."
……
After repeating this process several times, Ye Yixian finally rushed to the first floor. A large crowd had already gathered there, and the carefully arranged romance extended all the way to the ground floor.
"Ye Yixian, hurry up!" The boy who was setting up the venue with Lu Yuan was like a gatekeeper, waiting there for a long time.
Ye Yixian was so excited that she took off running, but because it was dark and she was too anxious, she stumbled at the edge of the playground and fell heavily.
Everyone's hearts clenched instantly, fearing that something might happen to her, causing this grand confession to fall apart.
Lu Yuan, who was standing in the middle of the playground, was also startled and instinctively wanted to rush over to check, but Ye Yixian quickly got up on her own.
She didn't bother to brush off the dust and grass clippings, or even care about the scrapes on her knees. She got up and rushed to the giant heart as fast as she could.
She finally stopped, bent over, panting heavily, her chest heaving violently. She wanted to say something, but due to lack of oxygen, she couldn't utter a complete sentence and could only continue to gasp for breath.
Lu Yuan knew Ye Yixian would come, but he didn't expect her to make such a cute yet disheveled entrance, so he couldn't help but give her a doting smile.
He wasn't in a hurry; he continued to hold the bouquet and patiently waited for her to catch her breath.
After a long while, Ye Yixian finally straightened up and looked at Lu Yuan with a complicated expression.
Her complex expression was filled with happiness; she was finally certain that Lu Yuan loved her.
It also contained a sense of shyness; after all, as a girl, being confessed to in such a high-profile manner would make anyone blush and their heart race.
But more than anything, there is concern.
Because Lu Yuan's confession was too high-profile—he pulled the power switch on the teaching building and monopolized the school's broadcasting room—each of these actions, according to school rules, could easily result in a major demerit.
A major demerit is no joke. If the school determines that the incident has had a serious impact, it is entirely possible that everyone involved tonight will be expelled.
With the college entrance exam approaching, no one wants to be forced to drop out of school at this crucial juncture.
Therefore, concern for Lu Yuan took over Ye Yixian's emotions first.
Her eyes welled up with tears without her realizing it, and she asked in a tearful voice, "Why are you doing this? You'll be punished when the teacher comes."
"Heh." Lu Yuan chuckled lightly, completely unconcerned. Instead, he raised his voice, as if announcing something to the whole world, "You came here too. If you get punished, won't you get punished along with me?"
"I'm not afraid of being punished! As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid of anything," Ye Yixian shouted, her voice rising as if to assert her dominance. "If I didn't come, who would you confess to?"
"If you don't come, I'll just be deluding myself. Not only will the teacher punish me, but I'll also become the biggest joke in the 100-year history of No. 1 Middle School. In the future, when people mention 'No. 1 Middle School's most affectionate person,' they'll only think of a self-deluded clown."
Lu Yuan's words successfully elicited laughter from the entire audience.
This is not mockery, but rather well-intentioned teasing and envy.
Because the love of "the most affectionate man in the school" was reciprocated, the female protagonist did not let him down. Instead, she risked being punished and came to him without hesitation.
Ye Yixian was amused, but as she laughed, she couldn't help but burst into tears, choking out, "I...I thought...you didn't like me."
"Silly girl, how could I not like you? I came back... I'm standing here to prove that I like you."
Lu Yuan looked at her intently, his tone and eyes filled with unwavering determination.
Then, he beckoned to Ye Yixian: "Are you sure you want to stay outside of this love? Don't you plan to come a little closer and reciprocate my love?"
Ye Yixian looked down and realized that he had been standing outside the boundary of the heart.
This subconscious distance is actually a true reflection of her inner self. She knows what love means, but she doesn't dare to rush in, afraid that she is not good enough, afraid that it is all just a beautiful dream she has imagined.
"Ichigen, hurry up and go inside."
"Yeah, Ye Yixian, don't stand outside."
The surrounding classmates urged her on. Ye Yixian wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and looked up at Lu Yuan, who was waiting for her.
Lu Yuan extended his hand at the opportune moment, palm up, inviting her to enter.
Ye Yixian finally revealed a beautiful smile as she carefully crossed the boundary formed by LED strips, candles, and flowers.
She reached out and tightly grasped Lu Yuan's hand, stepping into the realm of love, entering this little world that consisted only of her and Lu Yuan; a world filled with love.
The entire teaching building erupted in thunderous applause.
Although the confession wasn't over yet, the scene was still incredibly exciting. Many girls couldn't help but burst into tears, feeling either envious or moved, completely unable to suppress their emotions.
As the applause subsided, Lu Yuan finally looked at Ye Yixian and solemnly handed the bouquet of flowers to her.
The entire room fell silent, everyone staring intently at Lu Yuan, eagerly anticipating his next "performance".
Lu Yuan straightened his clothes slightly, looked at Ye Yixian, and said with utmost seriousness, "Ye Yixian, it seems there's been a bit of a problem between us lately, a little misunderstanding. Perhaps you feel that I only chose you because of a fleeting infatuation, which makes you feel confused. Seeing your uneasy expression makes me very sad. So I decided to do something to completely calm your restless heart."
"After much thought, I believe the only way to reassure you is to formally confess my feelings. I want you to know that I like you, I... love you."
