Magic City University.
Strolling through the campus once again, Lu Yiming felt a wave of emotion. In his previous life, after leaving university, he never returned. Perhaps to him, Magic City University represented a painful past he didn’t wish to revisit. He had been avoiding it all along.
With just over a month left until graduation, those who had earned enough credits to graduate were already busy sending out their résumés. For college students in this era, finding a job wasn’t too difficult. Civil service exams, foreign companies, and state-owned enterprises were all solid choices. Everyone was busy paving the way for their future.
“Another senior is confessing again?”
“No way, is it going to be that romantic?”
“I thought graduation season was breakup season—why confess now?”
“Probably just trying to seize the last chance, not wanting to leave any regrets from college.”
“That actually makes sense.”
The chatter of a few junior girls drifted into Lu Yiming’s ears. Seizing the last opportunity? That sounded interesting.
“The girl is Su Rongrong. Wonder if he’ll succeed.”
“Come on, Su Rongrong is so proud. A zero-scandal record isn’t something just anyone can maintain.”
“Still, the one confessing this time is Senior Hu—he’s the dream guy in the eyes of many girls.”
Su Rongrong?
Lu Yiming paused for a moment, and his steps instantly slowed. He naturally knew who this so-called Senior Hu was.
Hu Wei. He was indeed good-looking, on par with himself.
[System: (ˉ▽ˉ；)… Host, your shamelessness truly knows no bounds.]
Still, Hu Wei was definitely a prominent figure at Magic City University. He joined the student council in his freshman year, became a department head in sophomore year, and rose to student council president in junior year. Along the way, he organized many successful cross-department activities. Courteous and refined to everyone, no wonder he was called the campus male idol.
However, in his previous life, Lu Yiming had never heard anything about this confession. At this point in time, he had been overwhelmed. The Lu Group had exhausted all its liquid funds, and he had been dragged around by his father, visiting every business partner in search of help. Soon after, he had to deal with the Su Family’s fierce assault. Who had time to pay attention to stuff like this?
Of course, in his past life, Su Rongrong probably didn’t have the time or patience to entertain Hu Wei’s passionate confession either. After all…
At this moment, Lu Yiming couldn’t help but move toward the girls’ dormitory area.
The dorms for the senior year students were unusually quiet. Other than those preparing for exams, most were focused on their future plans. But today was different.
From early morning, the area outside the girls’ dorms had been unusually lively.
Hu Wei had prepared thoroughly. For this confession, he brought banners and balloons. He even hired the winning band from the school’s singing competition. This chapter is updated first at novelping(.)com.
“Su Rongrong—it’s Su Rongrong, she’s coming down!”
“There’s hope now.”
Onlookers crowded around. A male idol confessing to the campus belle? That was a spectacle no one wanted to miss.
Normally, Su Rongrong would never show up to something like this. Her appearance today was a rare exception. Could it be that the student council president was really the fated one in Su Rongrong’s heart?
“Su Rongrong…” Hu Wei’s eyes sparkled as he saw her.
Music began to play.
“My love is like a tide, pushing me toward you. Following closely, like a tide surrounding us…”
A classic love song from this era—who would’ve thought Hu Wei knew how to pull off a grand gesture?
“Pity,” Lu Yiming said with a faint sneer. A setup like this might move a naïve girl to tears, but for someone like Su Rongrong? She’d seen it all. As the Su Family’s heir, if she fell for something this cheap, wouldn’t it be the biggest joke?
“Su Rongrong, from the first moment I saw you, I was deeply attracted to you. So many nights, I’d find myself thinking of you. I’ve always wanted to gather the courage to express my feelings. I want to place the best of everything before you. For our future, I’ve been working hard. I’ve already secured a job in a local company and can now make promises about our future. Su Rongrong, please give me a chance to hold your hand and walk through the rest of life together.”
“Pfft…”
Lu Yiming swore—he really couldn’t hold it in.
After all, the confession was moving enough to melt the hearts of the nearby girls who yearned for love.
As for Su Rongrong, Lu Yiming clearly noticed her brow twitch upward slightly. With what he knew about her, that was a sign she was growing impatient.
“That’s it?”
“That’s it…”
What kind of opening line was that?
Hu Wei had imagined many possible scenarios. If Su Rongrong hesitated, he’d take it a step further and express his determination under everyone’s gaze. If rejected, he still wouldn’t give up—he believed that he could move her with persistence.
But this one sentence—”That’s it?”—completely threw him off.
What did she mean?
“Oh, excuse me.”
Su Rongrong acted like nothing had happened, as if she weren’t the target of the confession at all. Her expression was utterly calm.
“Su Rongrong, I’m serious. For you, I’m willing to give everything.”
“Say yes! Say yes!”
No one knew who started it, but the crowd began chanting. They seemed genuinely moved by Hu Wei’s sincerity.
Lu Yiming: (ˉ▽ˉ；)…
He knew this game too well.
Just now, he had noticed Hu Wei’s small gestures—clearly, the hype men in the crowd were planted beforehand.
These tricks? He had mastered them in his past life. Trying to play the “moral pressure” card now? Hoping to force Su Rongrong to say yes?
Hu Wei thought he had planned it all perfectly, but unfortunately, he didn’t understand Su Rongrong at all.
“Move.”
Su Rongrong had completely lost her patience. She still had to go to the hospital today—her grandfather was scheduled for a heart check-up, and she had to accompany him.
If not for the tight schedule, she wouldn’t have come downstairs at all.
Even if Hu Wei shouted until his voice went hoarse, she wouldn’t have responded.
“Su Rongrong, I’m serious! I swear… I…”
“Clap clap clap! So touching.”
Just as Hu Wei was still unwilling to give up, Lu Yiming clapped and squeezed in beside Su Rongrong.
“Lu Yiming?”
If Hu Wei was the symbol of positivity at Magic City University, then Lu Yiming was the classic example of a rich playboy.
Of course, Lu Yiming himself didn’t think he was some villain. He hadn’t bullied anyone at school—how did he become the bad guy?
One thing was certain though—Hu Wei was definitely wary of Lu Yiming.
So what if he was student council president? Maybe he could throw his weight around on campus, but out in society? That title meant nothing. At best, it proved he had some capability.
Hu Wei came from an ordinary family. Everything he achieved was through his own effort. Unlike Lu Yiming, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
