Chapter 115 Grand Confession 1
Chapter 115 Grand Confession 1
Saturday evening study sessions are always more relaxed than usual because the next day is a rest day.
Xu Lingjing hadn't spoken to Lu Yuan for several days, after all, things hadn't gone so well before.
But so many days have passed, Lu Yuan should no longer be angry.
Xu Lingjing felt that she should take the initiative, go to Lu Yuan to show weakness and try to please him appropriately. As long as she took this step, Lu Yuan would definitely gradually regain his goodwill towards her.
She was filled with anticipation, but Lu Yuan didn't show up until the bell rang for evening self-study.
Not only him, but Gao Zhe and several other boys also disappeared.
"Where are Lu Yuan and the others?" Xu Lingjing couldn't help but ask.
She didn't know who she was asking, but Jiang Yiqing in the front row heard it.
Jiang Yiqing looked back at the empty seats in the back row. This commotion also attracted more people to look back, and everyone then realized that Lu Yuan and the others were indeed gone.
Jiang Yiqing looked up at the clock hanging at the front of the classroom. It was almost 8 p.m., and half an hour of evening self-study had already passed. They still hadn't arrived.
"Strange, where are they?" Jiang Yiqing was completely puzzled. "They haven't been late for a month, why aren't they here tonight? That's really strange."
"He must have been unable to withstand the pressure of studying and secretly climbed over the wall to go online," Li Xian said gloatingly. "Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan, you haven't even surpassed me yet, and you're already slacking off?"
The thought that Lu Yuan would no longer continue his intensive review filled Li Xian with a sense of smugness.
This means that the probability of Lu Yuan surpassing him in the total score of the college entrance examination has decreased significantly.
Lu Yuan and Gao Zhe did have a history of circumventing internet restrictions to access the internet, so it's not impossible for them to do it again.
However, Xu Lingjing felt something was amiss. She believed that Lu Yuan shouldn't make such a basic mistake at this crucial time.
But if we exclude going out to the internet, what else could we possibly do?
"No, I have to go and see where he went."
Xu Lingjing was really worried and planned to go to the homeroom teacher to find out what was going on. She thought that this was her way of showing concern for Lu Yuan.
Jiang Yiqing wanted to go with her, but as soon as the two of them got up, everything suddenly went black.
"ah--!"
The classroom erupted in screams from girls and gasps from boys almost simultaneously, and the entire school building was filled with the same commotion.
All the lights in the classroom went out.
To be precise, all the lights in the entire teaching building went out.
"What happened?"
"Is there a power outage?"
"Why did the power go out so suddenly?"
"No, look, the office building and the streetlights outside the school are still on!"
A commotion broke out inside the teaching building. Everyone was confused. In the darkness, someone took advantage of the chaos to play pranks and tease the frightened girls.
In the dimly lit environment, one could occasionally hear a girl's coquettish complaints or a boy's playful banter.
"Look downstairs!"
Someone shouted, and everyone's attention was instantly drawn.
Everyone filed out of the classroom and gathered in the corridor, looking down at the playground below the teaching building.
The scene downstairs was absolutely astonishing.
Several figures were seen busily moving around on the playground. They had brought out many colorful light strips, arranged flowers, and lit many candles.
Ultimately, the light strips, flowers, and candles together formed a dazzling path leading to the teaching building and arranged in a giant heart shape in the center of the playground.
"Wow! Who is it? Is someone confessing their feelings?"
"How romantic!"
"Wait, isn't that... Lu Yuan from Class 5?"
Those with sharp eyes recognized Lu Yuan at a glance. In fact, the group of busy people were Lu Yuan, Gao Zhe, and others.
Who is Lu Yuan planning to confess his feelings to?
"Is there even a question? It's definitely Xia Anqi, given how high-profile they've been lately."
"No way? How could it be Xia Anqi? He's been pursuing Xu Lingjing for three years! Could he be planning to confess to her again tonight?"
"You're talking nonsense downstairs! This is definitely a confession to Ye Yixian from Class 22!"
"You upstairs are from Class 22, right? Move back a bit, it's not Ye Yixian's turn."
"What are you saying?"
The people upstairs and downstairs even started arguing across the distance.
Everyone was speculating about Lu Yuan's target for his confession, because in their opinion, any of these three girls could potentially win this honor.
"Yixian, come quick, come quick!"
Wang Qingyu and the others led Ye Yixian to the corridor, letting her overlook the spectacular scene on the playground.
When Ye Yixian saw this scene, he was completely stunned.
Everyone seemed to assume that she was the leading lady in tonight's scene, and they all made way for her to see more clearly.
……
"That kid actually dared to pull the power switch on the school building!"
Zhang Dabiao, the head of the teaching department, was stunned. He never imagined that Lu Yuan and his group would be so audacious.
"Director Zhang!"
Lu Yuan's homeroom teacher, Wang Zhishu, stopped the furious Zhang Dabiao and shook his head meaningfully.
Zhang Dabiao paused, looking at the meticulously arranged scene downstairs, and nodded helplessly: "Fine, give him a few more minutes. If he can't handle it, I won't let any of them go!"
……
At this moment, everyone in the entire teaching building was watching, and students who had brought their phones had already set them up to record the scene.
Xia Anqi was naturally surrounded by people in the center of the crowd. Many people believed that she was the female lead tonight and congratulated her: "Anqi, Lu Yuan is so romantic. He confessed to you in such a high-profile way."
"What are you saying? Doesn't our Anqi deserve such a high profile? It's Lu Yuan's honor to have our Anqi."
"Yes, yes, Angie is the best!"
The flattery and congratulations made Xia Anqi extremely proud. While she was looking forward to it, she muttered to herself, "Hmph! Lu Yuan, you're quite capable. You even know how to play hard to get and prepare such a big surprise for me."
This scene undoubtedly touched the hearts of countless people. Some were hopeful, some were happy, and naturally, some were disappointed and some were sad.
Meanwhile, Gao Zhe had already taken over the broadcasting room and started broadcasting throughout the school: "Hello, hello, hello, can you hear me? Hello, hello, hello?"
Gao Zhe had long wanted to experience what it was like to be a broadcaster, but unfortunately his grades were too poor, so it was impossible for him to get into the broadcasting room on his own merit.
Now it's great, he comes on his own without the teacher's permission.
As the saying goes, self-reliance leads to abundance.
"I can hear you—!"
Hundreds of students in the teaching building cooperated and shouted in unison, creating a lively scene.
"Ahem, good evening, everyone." Gao Zhe's excited voice came over the loudspeaker as he began reading from a prepared script, "On the eve of Sunday's holiday, my brother Yuan is going to confess his feelings to a girl. Let's all be witnesses."
"good--!"
The teaching building echoed with a resounding, thunderous response and applause.
At this moment, Ye Yixian, Xu Lingjing, and Xia Anqi were extremely nervous, gripping the cold metal railings tightly with both hands, just like candidates waiting for the results to be released.
Gao Zhe continued, "Time is of the essence, so let's cut to the chase. Brother Yuan is already waiting on the playground. If that girl hears me call your name, please come to the playground within five minutes. Remember, if you don't show up, this confession will have failed."
"Tell me who it is!"
"Yeah, it's driving me crazy!"
"Gao Zhe, stop keeping me in suspense!"
Someone couldn't help but shout and roar. Gao Zhe could hear the urging voices coming from the distant teaching building even from the broadcasting room.
He took a deep breath and announced loudly, "Ye... Ye Yixian! Ye Yixian from Class 22, Brother Yuan is waiting for you on the playground, can you hear me? Ye Yixian, go quickly!"
Ye Yixian!
The moment the name was uttered, a huge gasp erupted throughout the entire teaching building.
This was not just surprise, but also a boiling mix of envy and jealousy, creating an incredibly lively scene.
