Chapter 543

Ju Jingyi tried to persuade her.

Peng Xiaoran lowered her head and fell silent.

She had come to this show for Chen Fan's sake; last night, in fact, she had almost confessed to him.

But for some reason, looking at Chen Fan's face, she always felt that if she confessed, they wouldn't even be able to remain friends.

"Family, I'm truly speechless—how can my girl be this timid?! You weren't like this before!"

Ju Jingyi said.

Peng Xiaoran thought for a moment, then finally showed a resolute look in her eyes and said to Ju Jingyi, "I think you're right. If I don't confess to Chen Fan, the one who'll regret it later will definitely be me."

"Tonight, I will definitely go!"

"That's more like it!"

Ju Jingyi laughed happily.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Unlike at the very beginning, Xiang Qinqin has already no longer so introverted.

Now, in front of so many people, she could also open her heart and laugh and play with everyone.

"I'm really envious of you, Liu Mengyan—you get to be Chen Fan's disciple."

Xiang Qinqin said to Liu Mengyan.

If these were ordinary girls, the two would surely have misunderstood each other as showing off.

But after spending some time together, both knew the other had no such intentions.

Liu Mengyan said, "You think being the teacher's disciple is easy? I originally thought I was already pretty amazing, so even being someone else's disciple should be a piece of cake."

"But what the teacher displayed in front of me—that's what truly deserves to be called amazing!"

"The teacher is my lifelong motivation; I'm the one who's envious that you can fight side by side with the teacher."

The two girls' heartfelt words weren't overheard by anyone else.

After everyone had chatted about enough in the courtyard,

they returned to their respective rooms.

Chen Fan had just turned the handle of his room's door when he heard a burst of footsteps behind him.

He was very familiar with those footsteps—they should be Peng Xiaoran's.

"Chen Fan, I have something I want to tell you."

Peng Xiaoran stood still behind Chen Fan, mustering her courage as she spoke.

Chen Fan said, "Then let's go inside the room and talk."

Peng Xiaoran nodded and followed Chen Fan into the room.

Peng Xiaoran had already been very nervous; now being alone with Chen Fan in this small space, her whole body grew hot.

"Um… um…"

Looking at Chen Fan's face, Peng Xiaoran couldn't get the words out again.

Chen Fan said, "You want to say you like me, right?"

Peng Xiaoran froze, looking at Chen Fan in disbelief—had she really been that obvious??

"You don't need to be so shocked. Have you forgotten? I can unlock the locks in people's hearts."

"Your secrets aren't secrets in front of me."

Chen Fan smiled and said.

Only then did Peng Xiaoran remember—oh right, she had overlooked this information from the start.

"Then since you already knew, why didn't you call me out on it?"

Chen Fan said, "If you wanted to say it, you'd naturally come find me. If you didn't want to say it, and I called you out on it, wouldn't that be really embarrassing for you?"

Peng Xiaoran nodded: "Everything you say is right, then… what do you feel about me?"

Chen Fan said, "You know about the thing between me and Sister Yuanyuan before, right?"

Peng Xiaoran nodded again.

"Then you should be able to guess that there definitely isn't only Sister Yuanyuan by my side."

"Can you accept a me like this?"

Chen Fan asked.

As soon as the words fell—

Peng Xiaoran excitedly said, "I can accept it! As long as it's you! I can accept anything!" Yu.
