“Sorry.”

After Su Chen led Lin Yumeng out of the basketball arena, he turned to see her pretty face in full blush. He immediately gained his consciousness and chuckled in embarrassment as he let go of her hand.

“It…It’s all right.” Lin Yumeng hung her head shyly, her hands clutching the corners of her dress, speaking so softly it was hard to hear.

Su Chen did not know what to say. He had now confirmed that he liked this girl, but he did not know what to do.

With his previous lazy character, he would not have taken any action on something as troublesome as falling in love.

When he was in high school, girls expressed their affection toward him in many ways, but he had no feelings for them. He rejected them because he felt it was troublesome.

“The weather is hot.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s get some drinks. I have been sweating a lot. I am a little thirsty.”

“Okay..”

The two who were embarrassed chatted a little, and then went all the way to the supermarket to buy two bottles of iced drinks without speaking a word.

Su Chen directly gulped down half a bottle of drink. His restless emotions eventually calmed down.

He glanced at Lin Yumeng, who was beside him. He saw that her baby face was still blushing. She drank absentmindedly from the Coke bottle she held in her little hands. Her appearance was cute.

Su Chen scratched his head with worry. He felt awkward and uncomfortable.

He had a feeling that if he didn’t get his message across, they might not get along as well as they had before.

“Junior, that is…What do you think of me?”

“Cough…”

Lin Yumeng choked into her drink when she heard the sudden words from Su Chen.

“I’m sorry.” Su Chen immediately apologized.

Lin Yumeng blushed and shook her head. She lowered her gaze in panic and closed her lips as she said in a soft voice, “Senior, you are very good, with a good personality, and handsome, and know many things. I…”

She felt as if her heart would jump out of her chest. She only spoke half of her sentence, but she could not finish it.

Su Chen looked at her gently. His courage gushed up with his hot blood, and he blurted out, “Lin Yumeng, I like you. Please be my girlfriend!”

It was the first time he had called her name, and his voice was unusually firm and loud.

Lin Yumeng was dazzled by the sudden confession. She lifted her head and looked at him with blurred eyes and adoration.

Both of them were in the doorway of the supermarket. Many students milled around; all of them heard Su Chen’s confession. They cast their attention toward them.

“I am envious!”

“So handsome! I also want a boyfriend!”

“Promise him, promise him…”

Some of them commented with envy, and the others laughed.

Lin Yumeng’s reaction was slow. She gained back her consciousness only when she heard the noises from around them. She saw that Su Chen looked at her anxiously and with hope. Her face instantly blushed even more, like the apple that was not fully ripe at the end of autumn.

“It may be a little sudden, but I like you. You are so simple and lovely; I want to protect you for a lifetime.”

Su Chen’s eyes filled with deep feeling, and he said with a soft voice, “Lin Yumeng, I want to be with you. Can I?”

“Promise him, promise him…”

The sound of heckling from the surrounding crowd became louder. Everyone was envious of them; no matter if it was a guy or a girl, they hoped from their hearts that the two of them could have a good ending.

To Su Chen’s nervous and anxious look, Lin Yumeng gently nodded shyly as she looked down.

“Are you saying yes?” Su Chen’s face showed the look of surprise, and his voice trembled.

“Yes.”

Lin Yumeng answered again.

“Haha…” Su Chen couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He threw away the beverage bottle in his hand, then excitedly picked her up and twirled her around.

Lin Yumeng was first startled, and then her lovely face showed a smile of happiness. It was as if the sweetness in her heart was about to overflow.

There was a big round of applause, and everyone envious.

After the short bout of ecstasy, Su Chen calmed down and quickly put Lin Yumeng down. He smiled in embarrassment. “Sorry, I was too excited.”

Lin Yumeng blushed as she shook her head. Her beautiful eyes were tearing.

“Thank you for your good wishes.” Su Chen clasped his hands and thanked the students with a smile.

“You’re welcome. Best wishes.”

“Wish you blessings and happiness.”

“Handsome boy, can you introduce a boyfriend to me too? I am happy if he has half your qualities,” said a girl as she blinked and smiled.

“That is a little difficult. After all, I am too good!” Su Chen pretended that it would be hard.

“Haha…” Everyone burst into laughter.

After they successfully confirmed their relationship, both of their moods were good, and it seemed that the hot weather had become much cooler for them.

In the evening, Su Chen invited the students from the two dormitories to have dinner.

On a hot summer day, there was nothing more refreshing than a barbeque with a cold beer.

Old Wang’s barbeque restaurant outside the school had been open for more than ten years. It was popular among students at the University of Magic City. The bosses were a middle-aged couple, and their barbeque was tasty.

In the air-conditioned shop, the eight people sat around a table. Trays of aromatic barbeque and bottles of cold beer were already on the table.

“Come, let’s raise our glasses together to celebrate the success of brother Chen and sister-in-law being together.” Pan Xiaojie held up his glass and smiled.

“Congratulations…”

The crowd laughed and clinked their glasses.

“You are fast enough, man. This is the first day of school,” joked Guo Lei, smiling toward Su Chen as he ate a skewer of meat.

Lin Yumeng’s cute face blushed, and she lowered her head to hide her shyness.

“We already knew each other for some time,” Su Chen answered with an annoyed tone.

“Brother Chen, tell us quickly, how did you get to know each other?” Qian Manman asked, wanting gossip.

The few people looked at Su Chen with curiosity.

Su Chen saw that he might not be able to get out of the topic if he did not talk about it, so he just explained briefly how he met Lin Yumeng.

“Wow, you guys are destined.” Qian Manman was excited after listening to the story.

“Indeed, it is quite a predestined relationship. Both of you were fat before and succeeded reducing your weight. Then you became a handsome man and pretty girl who came together!” said Pan Xiaojie with a cheeky smile.

“He used to be fat too?” Lin Yumeng’s big eyes shone as she looked at Pan Xiaojie.

When she met Su Chen, Su Chen had successfully lost weight. She did not know Su Chen was fat before—and she was very interested in that.

The other three girls too had curiosity written on their faces.

“What? You don’t know about this?” Pan Xiaojie was slightly shocked.

“Can’t eating so much food stop you from talking so much?” Su Chen glanced at him menacingly.

“Guys, wait for a while.” Pan Xiaojie did not care. He grinned and then took his phone out, searching for photos he had taken secretly. He handed the phone to Lin Yumeng.

The picture was in the classroom. Su Chen lay lazily on the table to sleep, his fat face squeezed into a ball, using his arms as a pillow. His sleeping manner was silly looking.

“Puff…”

Lin Yumeng and Qian Manman, who sat beside her, laughed at the same time.

Li Jia, who was also curious, stood up to look, and then the corner of her lips twitched. She was trying very hard not to laugh.

“Let me see. Let me see.” Meng Lu, the furthest one from them, shouted.

Lin Yumeng passed the phone to her, and then a hissing sound of laughter sounded again.

The corner of Su Chen’s eyes twitched slightly, and he cast a murderous glance toward Pan Xiaojie.
