Many students from various schools were picked up, but the bus sent by Nan'an had not arrived yet. Several people squinted their eyes due to the sun and stood in the shade at the door.

Su Lingling followed her team and pushed the boxes over. When she saw Gong Cheng, she tried hard to smile and walked over, causing the other people in the team who were not aware of the situation to let out "yo yo yo" sounds.

Qiao Mu and Lang Bushin had already listened to Gong Cheng's explanation last night and knew that Gong Cheng and Su Lingling were not together.

Su Lingling came over with an umbrella and covered Gong Cheng with it. She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were a little red and swollen, obviously because she had cried last night.

"Can we go to the flower bed and talk?" Su Lingling said.

Gong Cheng was about to refuse but was interrupted by Su Lingling.

"This is the last time I'll bother you, really." Su Lingling said.

Gong Cheng hesitated for a moment, but still followed Su Lingling towards the flower bed not far away.

"I confessed to you in front of so many people yesterday. Did it bother you?" Su Lingling asked.

Gong Cheng didn't say anything, just remained silent.

"Actually, I was just enthusiastic yesterday. I suddenly got so excited that I did it. To be more precise, I went on stage with the mentality of fighting to the death."

"After I got back, I realized that my behavior was not thoughtful enough and put you in such an embarrassing situation."

"I actually even hoped that in this situation where everyone was shouting to be together, you might agree to me because you couldn't bear it or felt embarrassed."

"After being rejected by you, I was very scared when I went back home last night."

"If I were really rejected by you in front of so many people because of this impulsive confession, I would be so embarrassed and humiliated. I can't even imagine how I can get off the stage on my own."

"Everyone had a great time at yesterday's farewell party, but I almost ruined it."

"I'm sorry that I can't be with you, but thank you for at least leaving me with a little dignity." Su Lingling said with a smile, but tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

"Sorry." Gong Cheng said.

Su Lingling shook her head.

"You don't have to apologize to me. It's me who caused you trouble."

"In fact, when you were pushed onto the stage yesterday, I looked at your eyes and I had a feeling that I would be rejected."

"When we were in the same class, many girls liked you. I wasn't the prettiest or the most outstanding one."

"Only when I come to ask you a question will you look up, and for a moment you will see me in your eyes."

"But when you went on stage yesterday, your eyes were fixed on the audience. I have never seen that kind of look on your face."

"The person you like was in the audience yesterday, right?" Su Lingling asked.

Gong Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and his brows slightly frowned.

Su Lingling noticed Gong Cheng's expression and waved her hands in panic.

"Don't mind me, I'm just guessing."

"Because after you went on stage yesterday, your eyes were always looking in one direction. Then you took me off the stage, rejected me, and ran away in a hurry."

"That's why I guessed that the person you like was in the audience and saw me confessing my love to you."

"I hugged you because I was excited at that time. Did she misunderstand me?" Su Lingling asked cautiously.

"I have explained it clearly to him." Gong Cheng replied.

When Su Lingling heard this, she knew that Gong Cheng agreed with her guess.

So Gong Cheng’s lover was really in the audience at that time.

Su Lingling felt ashamed for her impulsive confession. After hesitating for a few seconds, she couldn't help but speak.

“Is she good?”

"Appearance, figure, family background, character, how excellent must these be for you to like them?" Su Lingling asked.

Gong Cheng smiled and shook his head.

“He doesn’t need to be great.”

"As long as he can appear in my sight, I am lucky." Gong Cheng said gently.

Su Lingling looked at Gong Cheng, who had a gentle expression in front of her, and felt her heartbeat speed up again, but she quickly suppressed it.

"I really envy her. She can make someone like you become love-brained and say such sour words." Su Lingling pretended to be nonchalant.

"Su Lingling." Gong Cheng shouted.

Su Lingling was stunned and looked at Gong Cheng, who had a gentle look in his eyes.

"You are actually very good. You were very good when we were classmates."

"Every time you ask a question, you always get it right away. I only give you one line of thought, and you can apply it to other situations."

"Your handwriting is very beautiful, you are very polite when you greet teachers when you meet them on the road, you are very popular, and you have many, many good qualities."

"You have gone to a very good university through your own efforts. Now you have become brilliant and even better than before."

"I rejected you not because you are not good enough, but simply because we are not suitable for each other, not because there is anything wrong with you."

"I believe you will meet someone who can see every shining point in you and only has you in his sight." Gong Cheng said gently.

Su Lingling only felt her nose getting sore, and some of the confusion in her heart seemed to be gradually unravelling.

This man is as damn charming as ever, Su Lingling thought.

"Actually, when I think about it carefully, I don't like you that much. Everyone has a white moonlight when they are young. It just happens that you are my white moonlight."

"Now I realize that you are just like that. You reject people just like everyone else and you become love-brained just like everyone else when you date someone."

"So Gong Cheng, I won't bother you anymore. I will find someone who is a thousand times better than you and who likes me."

"You must also be very happy, understand?"

Su Lingling had a smile on her face, but her nose was a little blocked, so she sniffed secretly.

"The car is here, Su Lingling." The teammates waved to Su Lingling.

Su Lingling handed the umbrella in her hand to Gong Cheng. Gong Cheng didn't take it, so Su Lingling stuffed the umbrella handle directly into Gong Cheng's hand.

"Our car is already here, I don't need an umbrella, you don't know how long you have to wait in the sun."

"The sun is too strong. Your date can't stand the sun, so you can take the umbrella and share it with her."

"Gong Cheng, goodbye."

After saying this, Su Lingling ran away with a smile on her face, her skirt swaying in the sun. She turned around and waved to Gong Cheng, the smile on her face was unpretentious and sweet.

Gong Cheng was holding the pink princess umbrella with lace flowers in his hand, and was a little dazed for a moment, wondering whether to put it away.

Someone approached from behind and got into the shadow of the umbrella. Gong Cheng turned his head and bumped into Tao Zhi's face just above his shoulder.

"What's the matter? You can't stop thinking about her and suddenly regret rejecting that sweet girl?" Tao Zhi teased.

Gong Cheng didn't say anything, just smiled at Tao Zhi, turned sideways and held the umbrella over Tao Zhi's head.

Tao Zhi failed to make any fun of the joke, so he simply walked towards the door in his slippers. There were several teams gathered at the door basking in the sun, so Tao Zhi walked straight towards Qiao Mu and his team.

So in full view of everyone, Tao Zhi walked over holding a bright pink lace princess umbrella, but everyone had already accepted Tao Zhi's frivolous personality and were not surprised.

"What's going on? The pick-up car hasn't arrived yet?" Tao Zhi asked.

"No, the agreed time has long passed. It's already more than an hour late." said one of them.

"Boss Tao, this is such a grand ceremony. The beautiful Gong from our team will personally hold an umbrella for you." Another student joked.

"That's right. Don't you see the status of your boss Tao?" Tao Zhi said jokingly.

While he was talking, two more teams left.

"Why don't you get in my car? I'm on my way and I live about ten miles around Nan'an." Tao Zhi said.

"Oh, Boss Tao, you are so generous." Several people jumped for joy.

The matter was settled. Tao Zhi asked the driver to drive the car out of the garage, and several people got in with cheers.

"Boss Tao, I suffer from severe motion sickness. Can I sit in the passenger seat?" The student was a little shy, and it was obvious that this request was a bit presumptuous in some sense.

"Okay, I'll ask the front desk to send you a motion sickness patch. Get in the car, I'll sit in the back." Tao Zhi pushed the student to the passenger seat.
