Chapter 41: Saving the Gentle Senior 17

Sorry, Professor Miliya, I already have someone I like.

Shen Qingci took a deep breath, lifted his smile, and answered.

Don't rush to refuse; first take this contract card.

Miliya smiled and said, "Look over there."

Shen Qingci instinctively looked up, and the students and judges below gazed curiously in that direction.

In an instant, all the lights below went out; countless petals fell from the top lamp curtain, and the students who had prepared beforehand lit the candles they held in their palms, slowly standing up.

The candlelight gradually illuminated the audience seats, and the unaware spectators and students from other schools widened their eyes.

Meanwhile, the music students called by Jin Chen at the outermost part of the audience seats also picked up their instruments, playing the romantic "Violin Concerto in D Major."

Ma Bing and Lin Yu lifted up fluorescent signs, blue and white, with only one sentence written on them.

TheMoonDedicatedtoMe.

Dedicated to my moon.

On the stage, only where Shen Qingci stood was there a lamp shining.

He gazed at this beautiful and grand scene, light flickering in his eyes.

Jin Chen slowly walked out from behind the stage, holding Ecuadorian shattered ice-blue roses in his hands, wearing a suit in the same color scheme as Shen Qingci.

A second light lit up, following Jin Chen's steps as he walked toward the front of the stage.

At the same time, dark blue lights on the stage lit up, scattering petals, just like moonlight pouring down.

Miliya picked up the prepared violin, echoing the rhythm of the students below, accompanying them.

Shen Qingci heard the sound and turned his head to look.

TheMoonDedicatedtoMe.

Jin Chen's voice low and gentle, he gazed at his lover, confessing his love.

Mymoon, brightandgentle.

Becauseoflove, Iyearnforthemoon.

Iferventlyhopethatmymooncanloveme.

Shen Qingci chuckled lightly, his eyes full of emotion.

He never imagined that this confession would actually be so grand.

This is a love blessed by everyone.

Jin Chen handed the rose to Shen Qingci, saying, "My moon, will you be willing to love me?"

"I am willing."

Shen Qingci leaned into his embrace, his voice slightly choked, the love and joy in his heart nearly overflowing.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +20, total 100!】

0731 happily spun around in the space, so sweet it's deadly!

After the piece ended, the students and audience below began to cheer.

"Kiss! Kiss!"

Jin Chen let out a light laugh, whispering in his ear.

"Can I, senior?"

Shen Qingci held the flowers, embraced his neck, leaned in, and indicated consent with his actions.

The cheers grew more enthusiastic; at this moment, whether the audience below or the judges, all applauded and cheered in blessing.

Miliya clasped her hands over her heart, her face full of emotion.

"Oh~ so romantic."

Shen Qingci, still shy, only gave a few light kisses, hearing the fervent sounds beside his ear, he buried his flushed face into Jin Chen's neck.

The applause and cheers from below lingered, cheering the youths' sincere and brave love.

At nine p. m., after the competition ended, students from other schools were still immersed in this confession, while the forum of Didu University had already exploded, with various on-site videos and pictures spreading.

Miliya didn't want to disturb the young couple; after the competition ended, she returned to her residence in Didu.

Jin Chen, who had just succeeded in his confession, naturally did not return to the school dormitory.

In the small villa.

The bedroom lights were bright; Jin Chen embraced Shen Qingci, who had removed his makeup, leaning against the headboard, kissing him sweetly.

Before they officially confirmed their relationship, the most daring thing they had done was only light kisses; Jin Chen many times watched Shen Qingci, beautifully out of breath after dance practice, and restrained his thoughts.

Now that they can finally be intimate openly and properly, he naturally wants to return the kisses.

"Jin Chen, you… you get up first, I'm hungry."

Shen Qingci's legs went weak from his kisses, unable to support himself against the headboard, he slightly lifted his slender neck, his gaze hazy.

To have the best light feeling for the competition, he ate only a cucumber for breakfast and lunch, and nothing for dinner, almost to the point of his chest sticking to his back from hunger.

"No, unless you change your form of address."

Jin Chen bit his soft, red lips again, saying, "Not at all intimate."

"Then what do you want me to call you?"

"Bao Bao, you think of it yourself; if you can't, I won't give you dinner."

Upon hearing that address, Shen Qingci let out a shy hum, then leaned tighter into his embrace, saying, "I don't know."

Jin Chen couldn't miss his shyness; his hand resting on his chest mischievously pinched, making Shen Qingci's breathing grow even more rapid.

He wriggled a few times, wondering how the formerly pure-hearted Jin Chen could suddenly become so skilled.

Shen Qingci, inspired, blurted out the first address that came to mind.

"Ah Chen… good Ah Chen, let go quickly."

Only then did Jin Chen, satisfied, pull his hand out of Shen Qingci's clothes and touch his flushed cheek.

"I'll go make you some noodles; there's nothing else in the kitchen."

Shen Qingci nodded, waited for Jin Chen to get up, then immediately shrank into the blankets, burying himself completely.

Jin Chen chuckled lightly, put on his slippers, and left the bedroom.

Hearing the door close, Shen Qingci poked his head out, looked at the ceiling light, spaced out for a few seconds, recalling everything that had happened today, then shyly pulled the covers over himself again.

Jin Chen had definitely been pretending to be pure all along! He snorted in anger; the obedient little junior had turned into a nasty big wolf-dog—how could that happen overnight!

In the kitchen, Jin Chen was still unaware that his disguise had been exposed; he earnestly cooked the noodles, a smile always playing at the corners of his mouth.

【Host! Lin Le really got bailed out by Mou Yuan!】

0731 saw that he temporarily didn't need to go into the small black room, so he reported the protagonist's current progress to Jin Chen.

【Don't worry, it won't last long.】

Jin Chen didn't care at all; after seasoning the noodles, he also fried a sunny-side-up egg, sprinkled some scallions, and only then considered it properly done.

【How's Qi Ze doing?】

He asked nonchalantly.

Since apologizing and leaving the dorm the last time, Qi Ze simply hadn't gone back to school for over half a month.

【He got scolded badly by his father; looking at his father's attitude, it seems he wants to change the heir. Qi Ze is unwilling to let the illegitimate son inherit, so he's making a fuss at home.】

【Go help that illegitimate son, give him some money—as long as he can pull Qi Ze down from his position.】

【Understood!】0731 immediately made contact using a forged identity.

When the two bowls of noodles were ready, Jin Chen carried them to the dining room and then went to call Shen Qingci to eat.

"Ci Bao?"

Jin Chen opened the bedroom light that had been turned off, thinking he was asleep, and called out softly.

Shen Qingci emerged from the blankets, already completely calm, and intended to regain the self-esteem of being one year older than Jin Chen.

He casually turned on the light, got out of bed as if nothing were wrong, and said, "Come on, let's eat noodles!"

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, noticing his sly gaze.

What mischief is he cooking up?
