Chapter 1705: Fake School Hunk vs. Real School Beauty (Part 60)

Yu Qingyun nodded, looking quite convinced: "I also believe that true feelings shouldn’t be judged by gender."

Gu Shengyin sneaked a laugh in her heart, but outwardly maintained a serious demeanor as she said, "Yes, I think so too."

Then the next moment, she heard Yu Qingyun speak: "Beiye, if, I’m saying if, I were to..."

He suddenly paused at this point.

Gu Shengyin turned her head in confusion: "What?"

Yu Qingyun did not continue, instead saying, "The water is boiling."

Gu Shengyin looked at him: "Don’t change the subject, first tell me what you were going to say just now?"

Yu Qingyue chuckled lightly: "I’ll tell you later."

Gu Shengyin: "Alright."

She stood up to make tea.

The two quietly sat, chatting casually as they watched the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

After about an hour, Yu Qingyun said: "It’s about time, let’s go eat."

Gu Shengyin wondered what he was up to.

The car stopped in front of a very famous restaurant in the city.

Gu Shengyin was a bit conflicted looking at the restaurant’s name.

Seeing her like this, Yu Qingyun asked: "What’s wrong?"

Gu Shengyin said: "This place doesn’t seem quite suitable for just the two of us."

Yu Qingyun raised an eyebrow: "What’s wrong?"

Gu Shengyin just couldn’t believe he really didn’t know anything.

She pointed to the sign and said, "This is a couples’ restaurant."

"Oh..."

Yu Qingyun elongated his response and then casually said: "We’re just here to enjoy the food, the dishes here are really good. Qingyue and I have been here several times."

Gu Shengyin thought to herself, "Do you really think that saying that will make me believe your intentions are pure?"

No way.

Do you think saying that will make me compromise?

I will!

Gu Shengyin followed Yu Qingyun into the restaurant with a look of resignation on her face.

She wasn’t truly resigned; rather, she had made a bet with the system.

"System, do you think he will confess to me?"

The system said: "He will!"

Gu Shengyin: "..."

How coincidental, I was thinking that too. How are we supposed to continue betting now?

This restaurant lives up to the name of a couples’ restaurant; each table is quite private, almost like a small private room.

Gu Shengyin noticed vibrant roses, still misted with dew, on the table.

It was Gu Shengyin’s first time here, and the dishes were just as Yu Qingyun described, absolutely delicious.

The two didn’t communicate much while eating.

Until Gu Shengyin put down her utensils, Yu Qingyun also stopped.

He looked at Gu Shengyin: "Earlier you asked me what I was going to say that I didn’t finish."

Gu Shengyin looked up at him.

Yu Qingyun’s voice was deep, yet it reached Gu Shengyin’s ears very clearly: "I’m not content being just your friend, Beiye. Are you willing to accept me, as a lover, by your side?"

Gu Shengyin’s expression froze for a moment.

Yu Qingyun gazed at her carefully.

He wasn’t sure if she would accept him.

Under Yu Qingyun’s gaze, Gu Shengyin, sitting opposite him, slowly revealed a smile.

Gu Shengyin said softly: "I’ve been wondering how long you would hold back those words."

Yu Qingyun’s face showed a clear expression of shock.

He looked at Gu Shengyin: "You knew I liked you?"
